JORGE RODRIGUEZ ENCUENTRA SU VERDADERA VOCACIÓN

Paisaje Urbano

Lo más parecido a un "relleno sanitario".

** COORDINA EL OPERATIVO DE RECOLECCIÓN DE BASURA EN CARACAS.

*** EL PROBLEMA ES QUE BASURA NO RECOGE BASURA.

Finalmente Jorge Rodríguez encontró su verdadera vocación: a instancias del Presidente Hugo Chávez, quien se encuentra más allá del Meta, más allá del Vichada, más allá de más nunca, de donde vino Doña Bárbara, Jorge ha dejado a un lado sus actividades como Vicepresidente, como coordinador del PSUS, como líder de la reforma constitucional, como psiquiatra, para dedicarse en cuerpo y alma a recoger basura.

Y ya lleva más de mil doscientas toneladas de podredumbre recogidas, en un operativo en el cuál intervienen 80 camiones, voluntarios, el viceministro del Ambiente, Miguél Leonardo Rodríguez y otras personalidades cautivadas por el interés que ha mostrado por esta tarea el líder máximo de la revolución. El viceministro M. L. Rodríguez dijo sentirse "entusiasmado, motivado y comprometido con la política de recolección de desperdicios dictada por Hugo Chávez y coordinada por Jorge Rodríguez".

En Venezuela se generan unas 30.000 toneladas diarias de basura, de las cuáles el 70% se queda expuesta al aire, sin ser recolectada, para delicia de ratas, perros y zamuros. Apenas un 20% se recicla y no hay tal cosa como buenos rellenos sanitarios. El problema de la basura no es de nadie!! El gobierno central le carga la responsabilidad a los gobiernos regionales y estos se la pasan a los alcaldes, pero a nivel municipal no hay dinero para pagar por la recolección. Y por qué no hay dinero? Porque la gente se niega a pagar impuestos municipales, ya que Chávez les ha dicho que es estado es el gran padre benefactor y reparte dinero a manos llenas.

De Bejuma hacia Valencia.

Al mismo tiempo, Chávez en sus inumerables discursos regaña a los ministros, gobernadores y alcaldes por no recoger la basura y ha terminado por ordenarle al inútil vicepresidente que se convierta en el Zar de la basura. En esta situación de gran incoherencia nadie se atreve a decirle Chávez que es lo que hay que hacer. Todos lo oyen como niños en escuela primaria, como lo oían Ernesto Villegas y Alberto Muller Rojas en un programa de TV que acabo de ver, los muy lamebotas.

La basura fue declarada como un asunto de emergencia nacional en 2001, Gaceta Oficial 37216, pero casi de inmediato Chávez se fue de viaje y hasta allí llegó el ímpetu. El problema se complica debido a la mediocridad de los ministros y ministras del ambiente que ha tenido Chávez.

Si Rodríguez no da la talla como Zar de la basura es seguro que Chávez mismo se pondrá al frente de esta gran cruzada. Pero eso tampoco funcionaría. POR QUÉ? porque el rancho y la basura lo llevan en la cabeza.

CALIXTO EN LAS VEGAS.

Calixto en Las Vegas.

Hotel Bellagio, Las Vegas.

Calixto el revolucionario o Calixto el hipócrita?

Ir a Las Vegas no está prohibido para nadie, excepto para quienes hablan de esos sitios como satánicos, como los abominables reductos de los imperialistas, de los ricos, de los expoliadores de los pobres. Quienes así hablan son los revolucionarios, los seguidores de Hugo Chávez, los camaradas combatientes contra los oligarcas.

Pero, quien anda por Las Vegas, con tres féminas? Calixto Ortega. No hay nada ilegal en estar acompañado de tres féminas, a lo mejor su esposa y sus dos hijas, lo cuál es perfectamente normal. Pero Calixto Ortega? El diputado chavista, el ideólogo de la revolución, el predicador en contra de la riqueza y a favor de la humildad y la pobreza? Que hace Calixto Ortega en Las Vegas, por el amor de Dios? No debería andar por Cuba o por Irán? Y, no solo en Las Vegas sino en los mejores y mas costosos sitios de Las Vegas, ese antro de perdición capitalista: El MGM Grand y el Bellagio. En el Bellagio las habitaciones no bajan de $300 por noche y deben estar en este momento en los $700 por noche.

Feliz año Calixto! Pero, por favor, deja la hipocresía. Lo que estás haciendo solo lo pueden hacer los que tienen muchos dólares y tu salario no da para eso. Quítate esa careta de bolsa revolucionario y déjate tu verdadera cara de zorro predicador.

These Venezuelans, listed above with their places of residence and the year they were kidnapped, are reported to be still in the hands of the Colombian narco guerrillas, the FARC. They have not had the benefit of Chavez's efforts to be liberated from the terrorists. They have been kidnapped mostly for ransom, one of the sources of guerrilla financing, together with drug trafficking. Being modest, non -notorious Venezuelan citizens, their release offers no political dividends. In contrast, the Colombian hostages being freed through the operation now under way would give both FARC and Chavez political dividends, painting them in a humanitarian, flexible light, while eroding the image of the Colombian government.

What is incredible is the manner in which the rescue operation has been handled: airplanes, helicopters, 700 journalists, former presidents like Kirchner, ministers and ambassadors from Latin American nations and from Europe have converged on the Colombian jungle, together with a filmaker, Oliver Stone, as well as Hugo Chavez, flamboyantly dressed in combat fatigues and red beret and an inept coordinator of the operation who does not seem to know where the coordinates are. What a ridiculous bunch!

As I write this note, the hostages, two women and a child, have not yet been handed over by the terrorists, after four days of this vaudeville. For all I know they could have been put in a car and taken to Bogota but that would have been too simple, not spectacular enough. They will be finally handed over (we hope) in a gigantic operation characterized by blunders, inefficiency and a tragic lack of true human compasion.

This obscene and hypocritical manipulation by Chavez will make him lose even more ground in the eyes of the civilized world. Shame on him and shame on the clowns like Kirchner and Oliver Stone who have been willing to go along with this fraud.

CHAVEZ: ROMANCING THE STONE.

Stone and friend (in disguise as a paratrooper)

Romancing the Stone..... leaving no Stone unturned….


Hugo Chavez is fast replacing Fidel Castro as Hollywood’ s favorite dictator. He started three years ago by collecting Castro and Aristide’s fan Danny Glover, also known as a defender of Sadam Hussein. As leader of TransAfrica Forum Glover has traveled to Venezuela many times, all expenses paid by Chavez and often in Venezuelan government aircraft. He has recently been given $18 million by Chavez to finance a film about Haiti’s XIX century black leader Toussaint L’Overture. He has been an important factor in the attempt by Chavez to create an artificial racial conflict in Venezuela, a country that has a largely mestizo population, few pure whites and even fewer pure blacks.
Glover was the first Hollywood figure to visit Chavez but has not been the only one. Harry Belafonte, Sean Penn, Kevin Spacey and, now, Oliver Stone, have eagerly accepted invitations from the Venezuelan dictator. After Glover’s jackpot they probably felt that they would also have excellent chances to receive financing for their own projects, especially if they smiled often and said nice things about the tropical strongman.
Oliver Stone has just been in Venezuela participating, next to a Chavez grotesquely disguised in combat uniform and red beret, in the undignified show put up by the strongman in occasion of the release of three of the hostages of FARC, the Colombian narcoterrorist organization that has found in Chavez an enthusiastic ally. In Chavez’s views the FARC are not a terrorist, drug-trafficking organization but, simply, a group of political dissidents that should have a place under the sun. In spite of the fact that they have killed and kidnapped hundreds of Venezuelan citizens Chavez has refused to classify them as a terrorist organization, has allowed them to use Venezuelan territory as sanctuary and is reported to have provided them with arms and ammunitions. In keeping a close and friendly relationship with them Chavez has undermined Colombia’s democratic government. This close relationship is what has made it possible for him to receive the three liberated hostages, a move designed by the FARC to place him in a more favorable international light, after his recent political defeats both at home and in the international scene. Former Colombian Foreign Minister, Fernando Londoño, affirms that Chavez has paid the FARC a significant amount of money for the release of these hostages, money that will be used by FARC to further threaten Colombian democracy. Londoño further states that the coziness between Chavez and the FARC is related to the immense amount of cocaine, more than 300 tons per year, being transported through Venezuela by the FARC with Venezuelan military protection.
Oliver Stone is an old admirer of dictators. He has produced two documentary films about Fidel Castro. When returning from the first of his several visits to Cuba he said: “I observed an openness and freedom in Cuba that I had not found in any other country in the region, the Caribbean or Central America…. I have never seen the kind of spontaneous affection for a leader on the streets as I have seen in Cuba towards Fidel”. These are the words of an ignorant or a fanatic, as most of the Latin American countries, except Cuba and now Venezuela and Bolivia, have freedoms and democracy not found in sad and repressed Cuba. In talking about Fidel Castro he said: “He is presented as a bad guy, and it all stems from Nixon’ meeting with him, calling him a communist and anti-American”. Stone discards Castro’s own numerous admissions of being a communist, forgets about the thousands of dead under his regime, the hundreds of political prisoners in Cuban prisons and the testimonies of those who escaped from Cuba’s living hell. Castro’s perversion and oppressive regime of almost 50 years is, in Stone’s view, just a figment of Nixon’s imagination.
Such an atrocious disregard for the truth comes through in some Stone’s movies such as “JFK” and “The Midnight Express”, where he forces history to fit his preconceived ideas. His private life is consistent with his fanatical love for dictators. He is or has been a heavy drug consumer and has been caught several times by the police driving while intoxicated.
To leave no doubt about his preference for dictators Stone has asked Ahmadinejad, the Iranian nut, for permission to make a film about him. Yesterday, in Venezuela, while basking in Chavez’s company, he said: “This is wonderful. I never thought I would be a part of this”. Obviously he feels that by participating in Chavez’s insensitive and obscene vaudeville, full of helicopters, ambulances, politicians, journalists and, even, two or three poor hostages finally being let go by the terrorists, he is making history.
Chavez uses him and, of course, he uses Chavez.
