February 7, 2008     With regard to the growing nuisance and rampant criminality that hallmarks Hugo Chavez's Venezuela teamed as it is now with Rafael Correa's Ecuador, the question stands as to what the global community, sometimes represented by the USA, can or should do to assist freedom lovers from Venezuela and Ecuador.
 
The answer we learned very late on Thursday, January 31, 2008 as seen in the February 1, 2008 Washington Post - was that there must be nothing said or done to help freedom lovers and moreover, all is just fine and dandy in Venezuela as long as truth tellers are ignored, vilified and the actual data buried somewhere unknown, leaving the Andes with a solid bloc of 3 nations where accountability is gone/honesty does not exist, budgets are a joke, rule of law is killed and free speech is classically abandoned. But Marcela Sanchez of the POST, along with her paid insiders called unregistered Washington lobbyists for the hard left, want us to know that this is a healthy strategy to combat Chavez's criminal empire when...it is neither healthy nor honest.
 
Thinly veiled as a one on one interview, ostensibly from numerous sources, it is obvious whose mindset this article reflects and which direction it is taking to protect and defend the facts about Chavez from reaching not only the U.S. public but to continue its covert controls over an increasingly brain deadened public.
 
The DIALOGUE's Peter Hakim tells us that no one in the U.S. Congress cares about Chavez. In this, as usual, Hakim is only slightly correct and mostly wrong.

About 1/2 of the U.S. Congress is incompetent to actually stand against the growing U.S. Democratic support for the FARC and Chavez, even in the face of only tepid reports that Hugo Chavez is a criminal state sponsor of narcoterror. As Hakim knows well, if the U.S. public is kept in the dark and remains silent, Chavez can continue unabated in his criminal business dealings and paid political actors across the USA which he is now partnered with for any analysis. Indeed, most Americans have no tally sheet for the millions of U.S. tax dollars spent annually to soften the real facts about Chavez and to denounce by political propaganda the very persons who rise rarely to share the facts. The USA does this but Venezuelans have never once sought one shred of truth telling from free nations about the criminal empire that is Chavez's regime today. In fact, Venezuelans seem to be quite happy with Chavez and the U.S. Democrats plan to say, "Hands Off Venezuela." This is a perversity and shows moral confusion. It is dishonest to claim to pretend that Chavez is not a criminal and that the free world must not say one word about this sweeping psychosis of crime.
 
Even the Washington Post seemed to counter the ridiculously and discredited for lack of veracity mouth organ for the Fenton Communication propaganda machine and scores of unregistered double agents for Hugo Chavez and the do drugs crowd sometimes called "Washington advisors" and other times called "independent consultants" named Marcela Sanchez on 2-5-08 when its piece on Chavez stated, "Leading international human rights organizations have reported on activities by the Venezuelan security forces such as torture, extrajudicial executions and unexplained disappearances. Kidnappings and contract killings, which are common in some parts of the country, go unpunished. There have also been reports of threats and intimidation directed at individuals who seek to vindicate the rights of Venezuelans against the government. Under these conditions, democracy cannot thrive." No factual rebuttal yet from Fenton- a juggernaut for the pro drugs U.S. Democrats funded by George Soros, Rafael Correa's government of Ecuador and FARC promoter Hugo Chavez....yet.
 
The 2-5-08 Post piece continues, "Chávez has aligned Venezuela with countries and radical Islamic movements that are a verifiable threat to Israel and world Jewry, including Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad; Hezbollah's secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah; and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. He has also fostered relationships with convicted guerrilla terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sanchez (a.k.a. "Carlos the Jackal") and the now-deceased Holocaust denier Norberto Ceresole of Argentina. ..History has taught us that when a government fosters intolerant attitudes and behavior among its people, democracy and civil rights are endangered and the society suffers. The people of Venezuela deserve better."
 
Apparently, the "people of Venezuela" are not paying attention to how the globe evaluates Hugo Chavez and they certainly have done nothing useful in three years to coalesce with global freedom fighters, abandoning their positions to some of the world's worst and most divisively dysfunctional activities to sell the world the idea that Hugo Chavez must stay in power...because the money is good. Ecuadoreans have been singing the same song and dance of late too, as no adults appear on the front lines to actually defend the facts and promote functional liberty as one after one of previously known as freedom lovers falls prey to the tender mercies of Chavez's goon squads and double agents, promoted as they are by numerous U.S. Democratic Party leaders, propagandists and paid infiltrators. Ecuadoreans have recently joined forces with Rafael Correa's paid lobbyists in Washington, D.C. to lie to the U.S. government that they agree that as long as Rafael Correa keeps his mouth shut, that they can "sell" the false notion that Correa is an honest and decent president when he is a criminal and has destroyed all freedoms in Ecuador. We remind that it is a crime to lie to the U.S. Congress.
 
To consort with soft-on-Chavez/ pro-FARC sponsors of the U.S. Democratic Party is to aid and abet growing criminality in the Andes while pretending that cynicism is preferable to free speech. This is a double bind for truth tellers from the Andes made of their own complicity to concur with the pro FARC activists and pro Chavez politicians. Increasingly, any combination -however benign it may appear on the surface- with the pro Chavez and pro FARC actors debases and in fact deadens the capacity to tell the truth and stand for liberty. In other words, the message is polluted by design to craft harm to those who would tell the truth.
 
Hiding behind the very real threats of death and doom as made daily by Hugo Chavez's lawless place called the Andes where the legitimate is abandoned in favor of erecting the vast zone for illegitimacies called Bolvarianism, we cannot but be repulsed at the shocking deterioration over the last year of previously known freedom lovers who have apparently abandoned any positions of principle, claiming expediency.
 
Peter Hakim, who lives and breathes off the U.S. tax payer now along with some scant "donations" from companies and appears in lock step with the Soros activists,  soothes some more to tell us that there is no "urgency" and no "interest" in Chavez's criminal wonderlust. We disagree strongly.

Indeed, Chavez is a pox/ a curse and a ruinous disaster whose reign of terror must end now. Chavez himself is doing a very good job of destroying Venezuela. Contrary to what Hakim and hundreds of misguided and morally vacated Venezuelans want us to believe, most Americans are thoroughly repulsed by Hugo Chavez and all who continue to tell us that he is no menace and must be left alone. Indeed, most Americans do not understand why Venezuelans allow this dictator in reality to continue unabated and unchecked. They do not understand why Venezuelans do not demand No Mas Chavez! and No Mas Farc! -one and inseparable now. At least 1/4 of Venezuelans have fled now for the sheltering canyons of Brickell Avenue in Miami while no one but the Catholic Church and the unified students stand united against Chavez's pillage and rape of Venezuela. If this destruction of a nation is acceptable to the Far Left, then the U.S. Democrats are to be denounced for their irresponsible culpability and foolishly deteriorated morality. It is not acceptable to turn a blind eye to Chavez's narcoterror state nor is it helpful to refuse to demand all of liberty's actionable components for the people of Venezuela.
 
Indeed, Chavez should have been denounced a year ago for stealing RC TV's assets and license to broadcast and prosecuted for the criminal price fixing and racketeering acts which he sponsors. The RC TV theft is not an isolated incident as noted in any responsible report on Venezuela outside the irrelevant and factually dishonest Marcella Sanchez of the POST and her sources inside Washington, D.C. which almost always source Hakim and his soft Left abusers of U.S. tax dollars. It can be said that the soft Left is but a whisper away from the Hard Left and is the most insidious activist agent against fundamental truth telling. Like the Tokyo Rose role they play to hide the facts and soften the line against the FARC and against Chavez's raging criminality, these paid agents do nothing positive and do cast deadening agents for the facts. It is a tried and true propaganda effort, well known to the trained by Stasi Cuban and Venezuelan DISIP agents who pour billions now in to soft and hard informational campaigns to destabilize truth tellers across all governments and civil society.
 
But formerly known as freedom lovers from Venezuela tell us daily that they are afraid of Chavez, just as Ecuadoreans tell us that they are afraid of Chavez's paid goons running Rafael Correa's so called government [of one] now.  And they urge all to surrender to the active agent of political control called well engineered fear campaigns. And they tell us that they must keep their voices silent and their heads down to avoid sudden death and prison. And they tell us fervently that their positions must join with the soft on Chavez actors and that they must denounce the very truth tellers who would assist them in a return to law and order, sometimes called democracy.
 
In Ecuador, we notice a step by step parallel to the objectionable infiltration of the Chavez double agents sometimes called lobbyists and extorted business rackets. None of this inertia and surrender of principles helps anything except the offshore dirty money movers now running the show in the Andes nations previously called Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia. Saying nothing and doing nothing as the Chavistas across all borders now gain by dismissively telling us that there is nothing that can be done to stop Venezuela- today replicating a giant Russian offshore derivatives fund for criminals....supposedly to "help the poor" while its paid propagandists rail against any truth tellers.
 
If freedom's hand maidens are raped and debased, we object to their willing participation in being raped again and again. When free speech is sold out to Hugo Chavez's decidedly unfree speech, there is nothing to be proud of and nothing to keep a distance from or to surrender to.
 
Marcella Sanchez of the POST essentially tells us that Chavez's strategy to divide and conquer people of principle is a very good plan because the Soros plan for the U.S. political agenda replicates this plan. We remind that if a nation or a people or a company wants a return to principled positions, as recently seen in the successful Colombian and Peruvian return to functional democracy, then each must work with persons and groups of principles and cease their selling out to foolish enablers of criminality such as trumpeted by the aberrant Sanchez.
 
Sanchez tells us that "grand visions" for democracy and an end to narcoterror are a joke. In this, she is wrong. If the USA is to stand for freedom and to come to the aid of its friends when in need, then the USA cannot succumb to the cynics and debilitators of truth telling, always the bedrock of functional liberty. There is nothing honest coming out of Venezuela these days- not one word. The cri de coeur from the Church and the student movements are discounted by Sanchez and her paid propagandists for Chavez as irrelevant and worse..."grand visions." These are not irrelevant grand visions but instead defenders of freedom. We should be standing united with them instead of debasing their moral approaches. Sanchez, in her utter foolishness, also reported that the USA's Tom Shannon was absolutely correct to confuse and water down by conflicting public statements any principles of position about Chavez's formal alignment with the FARC and Iran. Of course Sanchez and Hakim and Soros applaud the truncating of fact based analysis regarding Ecuador and Venezuela. For our part, we condemn their willingness to throw in the towel and abandon liberty.
 
Venezuelans owe a huge debt of gratitude to the USA's truth tellers- not the complicit double agents for Chavez and the FARC. Venezuelans lose their moral edge and destroy all support for their past positions when they too abandon truth telling for the tender mercies of the planned and well paid agents of fear, agents of half truths and agents of maintaining the status quo on Chavez's growing criminal empire.
 
Tragically, Marcella Sanchez debases factual analysis when she inexplicably writes, "Last week, Shannon attempted to reduce the fallout from the overreaching comment by John Walters, the U.S. drug czar, who had called Chavez "a major facilitator" of cocaine trafficking through Venezuela." Sanchez appears to applaud any efforts to debase the facts in favor of hiding the facts. Reducing "fallout" is not what is needed today. Fact based reporting, as performed astutely by Walters, is commendable...not the hide and seek game as trumpeted by Sanchez. The fact is that Hugo Chavez is in bed with the FARC. If this is uncomfortable for the Venezuelans, whose own media and free speech has been stolen from under them, then Venezuelans should be glad that the facts still matter. For its part, SEMANA reports some of the story here from Colombia.
 
We are aware that numerous paid actors today want the public to ignore the facts about Chavez and are actively engaging in a war of attrition against Uribe and truth tellers as well. We want nothing whatsoever to do with these double agents and previously dependable persons of honor who do now debase themselves and their nation.
 
In other words, those who have sold out to the infiltrators and double agents of Chavez are known for what they are and how they act and by the very persons they affiliate with. Peter Hakim sponsored the face of the FARC and the lying Hugo Chavez last week in the person of the dishonest Piedad Cordoba at his offices. Cordoba is a liar and a FARC-Chavez agent. She should not have been permitted in to the USA. But U.S. tax dollars were illegally spent on this agent of harm and this is not only morally disgusting but illegal. This parallels another anti USA actor, Joseph Stiglitz, himself a pro Chavez actor and an agent sponsored by George Soros. Stiglitz proffered a weak apology to avoid a U.S. IG analysis which still should be underway for his treasonous abuse of U.S contract monies. Notably Stiglitz never once apologized for his hate filled, anti USA tirades to build the illicit banking empire for Soros, Correa and Chavez [his backers who are teamed with Russian monied mafias now called Banco del Sur and ALBA, sometimes called the illegally unaccountable open wallets of the Ecuadorean and Venezuelan governments] claiming as he did that every usage of the U.S. dollar as currency made George Bush richer and built the `evil empire.' Not only did Stiglitz lie while using U.S. tax dollars under US AID contracts but he acted to build the Correa-Soros-Chavez banking network. Better than the US AID IG would be an FBI analysis of what he did and what he said and how he acted recently. Added to this should be a full report on the side groups, NGOs, propagandists, lobbyists and media mouth organs to parrot and sell this immoral propaganda to promote illicit financial crime, sometimes called FARC money laundering.
 
If you want to tell the truth, team with truth tellers. If you want to spread half truths, get a paid Chavez infiltrator or Soros-backed NGO for there are plenty of them now who install skewed political opinions in substitution of facts. If you want to lie down with dogs, get Piedad Cordoba to lie for you. Piedad herself is a little busy these days working for the FARC and Chavez in between her busy days running up huge credit card debt, covered by Chavez's open wallet called the Venezuelan economy which he commands...to fund liars just like Piedad Cordoba, whom he now has deemed a "dignitary." We call her a FARC moll and a traitor to freedom. Chavez calls her an expensive piece of real estate.
 
We commend PETROLEUMWORLD for reprinting the SEMANA article from Colombia about Chavez's intelligence goons and his narcoterror allegiances.

We remind that comparing Montesinos to Chavez's own spy master Barrios [one of many and not the sole intel agent], as SEMANA did, is fundamentally appropriate. Indeed the parallels are historically correct in general to any who have studied both men. Montesinos, contrary to the current chatter well timed to disinform and decry and debase the SEMANA research which begins to inform a generalized review of the Chavez regime's criminal enterprises, was never well schooled or well trained not even liked or respected- ever. Nor is Chavez's Barrios.

Both men however have a parallel career track and one appears almost as if mentored by Montesinos which is possible but more likely took the obvious route and simply amassed illegal powers for self enrichment and more controls. But current chatter regarding the facts about the remarkably corrupted Chavez governmental leaders is knowingly and intentionally misleading to counter the facts about the corrupted Chavez empire. It is a common story now that Chavez is fully with the FARC and numerous global criminals and cannot be dismissed, even by pro Chavez double agents, active now in dozens of nations. For his part, Montesinos was no rogue spymaster: he was what he was. One cannot ever dismiss the basics of these spy maters when there are no functional checks or balances....they become, as has happened in East German STASI and Russia's KGB and Cuba and now in Venezuela's DISIP, entities unto themselves, complete with self protecting extortion to retain their reign of power. Barrios is what he is and what he is....is an evil spy master among many now in Caracas and Havana.
 
The SEMANA article also contained numerous citations from previously reported assessments about the FARC and Chavez's government. It is the height of deceitful hypocrisy to claim, as we hear today from pro Chavez and soft-on-Chavez propagandists, that Uribe's government compelled SEMANA to run the anti FARC article to gin up their economic war against Venezuela.  SEMANA is an independent magazine and does not serve as many Venezuelan media do to promote disinformation. SEMANA is no TAL QUAL. SEMANA is not TELESUR and is not partnered with AL JAZEERA or the Iranian News Service as is the case in about 90% of all Venezuelan media outlets now.
 
Currently, Moises Naim, himself a Soros-backed man at the Carnegie, informs us in his new piece called War in the Andes! that Colombia's president Uribe "must" continue to ignore Hugo Chavez and rely on diplomacy to protect and defend Colombia against Chavez's global criminals and military build up. Naim vapidly writes, " Here it is hoped that countries like Brazil and agencies such as the Organization of American States will play a more active role and less ambiguous than they have played so far. This is time to show leadership."
 
We remind Mr. Naim that the OAS itself is overcome with his own Soros-backed activists and has yet to perform much of anything of value, except abandoning all principles for which they are highly paid to perform. Besides, Naim misses the point about his comrades united against Uribe, sometimes called the Soros groups and pro drugs groups- also called Naim's backers- littering the so called defenders of democracy playing field today, that Alvaro Uribe is not ambiguous and is a leader himself. The OAS has continuously lied about Colombia and enjoyed the massive disinformation game against Uribe currently underway and funded by Naim's own backer Soros and the U.S. Democratic Party. To be sure, the OAS has stubbornly claimed that Rafael Correa and Hugo Chavez run functional, legitimate democracies when nothing could be further from the truth. Simply put- the OAS is a mess and is not honest. Mr. Naim is never going to be a straight shooter about the OAS or Chavez or the facts. And while the OAS continues to coalesce with the very anti-Uribe actors under the tutelage of their OAS hero and self professed uber statesman named Soros, we note that nothing useful has come from the OAS in years. Anyone who looks for an honest and functional savior to rise from the very debauched OAS and actually lead at the OAS will have a very long wait. To pass the problems of Chavez and Uribe off to the functional losers at the OAS is the height of irresponsibility under the current OAS leadership which primarily needs a housecleaning badly. We all know that to abandon the truth to the OAS is a recipe for disaster. Once again, Naim offers no real plan in his publications or his "work" except to propel the Chavez- Correa- Soros solutions for Colombia into the lose-lose debaucheries of the OAS.
 
Colombia, contrary to the foolishness we hear over the last two weeks, is in no way launching any kind of war against Chavez and is engaged in no economic or propaganda war against Chavez. Colombia does have an obligation to tell the truth and we hope they continue even as they are very late in this due to the pathetic urgings to restrict telling the truth. Freedom does never last long when the truth is subdued, even for "political" expediencies as pathetically urged. And the truth is destroyed when far too many actors inform us that we cannot perform healthy living or tell the truth because to do so will offend or "upset" Hugo Chavez. We are offended by these dysfunctional idiots and Chavez agents every time we hear this and do seek their removal from our midst. Chavez is committing his criminal empire building regionally- not Uribe. Supporting the phony political war of attrition against Uribe may be popular with the U.S. Democrats under the Soros and/or Chavez wallet pay per view plan but factually does not hold up.  Chavez's uber spies are in this for the long run and are serious actors, combining DISIP with Cuban and Russian style operations. This cannot be ignored or glossed over as if to pretend that their very acts are of no consequence.

SEMANA, as any journalistic endeavor, clearly worked on this lengthy article for a long time. We are convinced by all past articles from that magazine SEMANA that they are in no way a mouth organ for Uribe to launch some psy ops war against Chavez to set the tone for war by using a sudden rush of lurid details against Chavez's criminal empire. Quite the contrary. SEMANA, like most Latin media outside Venezuela, Cuba and Ecuador, does its own reporting and never jumps just because Uribe tells them to jump. This is a cynical world view and misleads. But SEMANA is clearly speaking the facts because the story today is relevant, not because it is Uribe launching some propaganda war against Chavez. Uribe has been consistent for years about Chavez...no one wanted to listen until now. We welcome SEMANA for its hard work.
 
For our part, we continue to applaud truth tellers and reject agents of untruths. We are repulsed when good men spew new propaganda to try to appear popular with Chavez, the U.S. Democrats and the Soros-backed anti-truths NGOS. None of them are honest and none of this epidemic of sell outs will help protect and defend liberty which is continuing to die in the Andes.
 
Today we commend U.S. Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen for utilizing her constitutional obligation and requesting the facts about Venezuela and Iran because the facts are not with the USA, long denied by half baked cover ups and ridiculously useless so called Reports on Venezuela and Iran by over paid contractors who have no interest in the facts. We can only hope that the U.S. Department of State does not inflict more non facts in reply to the request for the facts.

And frankly, we are disgusted with the people of Venezuela who hold an obligation to themselves to have and hold a review of Chavez's criminal state to state deals with the well known sponsor of terror called Iran. Venezuelans can unite and over ride all objections to fact finding. Like Ecuadoreans, none have so acted to date, preferring tyranny to liberty by their self-imposed silence, illicitly enforced by Chavez and Correa's paid thugs- sometimes called their police and military. It should not be left to the people of the USA to produce the facts about Chavez's criminality but the people of Venezuela to demand the facts of their own government's criminality. As we have seen about the fact based reports regarding Chavez and the FARC, far too many Venezuelans insist that this is some nefarious plot being waged by Uribe to undo Chavez. Such talk is a lie, is slander, libel and is well orchestrated disinformation. Today, Chavez's activists are working with the Soros actors to politically replace Congresswoman Ros Lehtinen before the Report is released.

For IMMEDIATE Release
Ros-Lehtinen Calls for Investigation into Possible Violations of U.S. Law by Venezuela State Oil Company Linked to Iran
(WASHINGTON) – U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) today requested that the Bush administration launch an investigation into whether a recently reported petrochemical sector agreement between the governments of Venezuela and Iran violates U.S. law. 

Late last year, Venezuela’s state-run Petróleos de Venezuela SA (PdVSA), which operates in the United States under the CITGO brand, and Iran’s Petropars, a unit of the National Iranian Oil Company, announced that they would form a $1 billion global oil and gas venture.

“I am deeply concerned about these reports involving the Venezuelan state-run oil company and its links to Iran,” said Ros-Lehtinen, Ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
In her request to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Ros-Lehtinen said an examination should focus on whether a PdVSA-Petropars partnership violates either the letter or the spirit of the Iran Sanctions Act.

The law is intended to deter investment in Iran and impede the country’s ability to finance its nuclear development and its support of terrorism. Ros-Lehtinen’s letter specifically seeks information about whether CITGO benefits financially from Iranian investment in Venezuela’s energy sector or Venezuelan investment in Iran’s energy sector and whether foreign oil companies or their subsidiaries have violated U.S. law.

“We must ensure that U.S. law is fully implemented and enforced as a means of denying Iran the ability to develop unconventional weapons capabilities, fund terrorist organizations, or pursue other destructive policies,” Ros-Lehtinen said.

“In our oversight role, we have a duty to ensure that U.S. law has not been violated, and I strongly urge other members of the Committee to join us in our efforts,” Ros-Lehtinen concluded."

We say this: the people of the Andes could have and should have long ago performed the same review, the same due diligence required by all responsible citizens regarding Chavez and Rafael Correa's formal contracts and alliances with Iran...and other criminal enterprises. The government of Ecuador, in complete violation of the Iran Sanctions Act has launched a full and formal commercial and trade relationship between Correa and Ahmadinejad, encouraged by Hugo Chavez. There can be no question as to the growing money laundering in Ecuador to assist not only the FARC but Iranian dirty money movers even as Correa's own lobbyists illegally continue to lie to the U.S. government and instruct Correa to keep his mouth shut about what he is really doing by his sole hand. Of course Chavez and Correa violate the Iran Sanctions Act of the U.S. government. We can only ponder what took them so long to toss in the garbage can all the aberrant and fake Reports paid for by the USA regarding Venezuela and Ecuador and start to demand the facts. We can only ponder why the people of Ecuador and Venezuela have not mobilized to have and hold the facts also, succumbing as they have to the tender mercies of the pro FARC and pro Chavez actors who populate their so called "diplomatic" world today.

Appropriately, a roster is now known of the very actors who debase the facts and generate misinformation. Shockingly, too many previously well regarded persons fall prey to the persuasions that one must join with the anti Uribe drum beat and get with the side bar goal of protecting the FARC and Chavez or else be politically out of sync. If this in being in sync, we want none of it and publicly and formally reject the now known roster of agents of disinformation active now in many nations. Lying down with dogs always gives fleas.
 
Like John Walters of the USA, Andeans should be grateful to U.S. Rep. Ros-Lehtinen instead of denouncing their efforts as some ploy to create instability.  One is either with the truth tellers or one is not. Those who denounce the tellers of truth are known for what they are and are not welcome except in the sacred offices of George Soros, Senator Dodd and Congressman Delahunt, all of whom encourage propaganda to benefit the FARC and the Chavez banking empire, sometimes called money laundering for the FARC and Russo-Iranian mafias. They are not welcome at the table for rebuilding freedom because they are not truth tellers.

Do you know what treaties, contracts and formal agreements Correa has signed with Iran? Do you know which ones are also pending? Do you know what Chavez is doing with Iran and why? Ask. It is still your right and is your obligation as a responsible adult. Like the entire governments of Venezuela and Ecuador, the over paid proxies for Chavez and Correa in Montecristi will never tell you the truth: they are paid well to hide the truth and with their nascent composite total body IQ of about 14, could not do so in any case, which is of course why they exist...as proxies, as stoolies, as paid idiots.
