FEAR AND TERROR IN CHAVEZ'S VENEZUELA.

IN VENEZUELA A PRIVATE COMPANY LOOKS FOR EMPLOYEES. IT IS REQUIRED
THAT THEY BE FRIENDS OF THE REVOLUTION.

I apologize for the small text above, could not make it bigger. It is a public requisition for an employee from a private Venezuelan-European company. Under "observations" the request establishes that the candidate should not be listed as a member of the opposition but should preferably be "close" to the government. The candidate "should know how to move within government circles", most probably a veiled reference to having experience with bribes.
Examples like this abound by the thousands in current Venezuelan daily life. The whole social environment is deeply corrupt. Greed moves the audacious and the dishonest while fear and cynicism prevails among more "honest" businessmen. In the U.S. the Chavez regime has defenders among Hollywood stars, democratic congressmen and "progressive" intellectuals. They gloss over this tragic coruption, either because they do not know about it or because they prefer not to see it. They can always claim that the government does not oblige companies to do this. However, in their hearts they should know that the climate of intimidation and fear imposed by the government of Hugo Chavez leads to this Orwellian-type of state.
The revolution is rotten to the core and those who defend it are guilty, by association, of dishonest conduct.
