Venezuela at a turning point???? Beatrice E. Rangel While Americans celebrated their Thanksgiving festivities, Venezuelans everywhere in the world began to mobilize against the Maduro regime. All seem to believe that come January the 10th a sort of spell will befall upon the land of Bolivar withering away the criminal regime that holds the nation…
Solzhenitsyn fue la voz que gritaba en el desierto de un mundo que deseaba cerrar los ojos ante los horrores del comunismo.
The Cuban model is a stubborn system that conducts brutal repression, and does not care about legitimacy or the well-being of civil society. The regime seeks to stay in power at any price. This model endangers regional democracy as it uses elections to thereafter transform the country into a dictatorship. This has taken place in Venezuela and in Nicaragua and very well could happen again elsewhere in the region. What the Trump Administration is doing has tremendous importance and it would be highly significant and meaningful if the international community were to join these efforts now.
Elections where human rights and basic individual freedoms are violated, with politically persecuted, imprisoned, or exiled, where there is no freedom of the press, where voters’ registration and information are manipulated wherein there is no “Rule of Law” and the “separation and independence of the branches of government” is inexistent. These are not elections, it is fraud, it is organized crime in action.
Elecciones donde se violan los derechos humanos y las libertades fundamentales, con perseguidos, presos y exiliados políticos; donde no hay libertad de prensa; donde se manipulan los registros y la información; cuando el “estado de derecho” no existe y la “división e independencia de los poderes públicos” es una simulación, no son elecciones, es fraude, es crimen organizado en acción.
China tiene dos objetivos. El primero, es desplazar totalmente a Taiwán. El segundo es acreditarse como la primera potencia comercial y financiera del planeta. China no tiene el menor interés en la libertad, la democracia o el respeto por los Derechos Humanos. China es una autocracia de partido único, lo que se convierte en un incentivo para nuestros bribones latinoamericanos.
Governments may be overthrown, but systems of ideas of government are never completely replaced resulting in philosophically hybrid regimes. New governments are never completely detached from the past. Such is the organic history of ideas.
Pueden derrocarse gobiernos, pero sistemas de ideas de gobierno nunca son completamente reemplazadas, resultando en regímenes filosóficamente híbridos. Nuevos gobiernos nunca resultan desconectados del pasado. Tal es la historia orgánica de las ideas.
The right to “the supreme recourse of rebellion against tyranny and oppression” is a natural and legal right. When a government violates the rights of the people, insurrection is, for the people and for each of its sectors, the most sacred of rights and the most indispensable of duties”.
La Cuba de los Castro es el origen de todos los desórdenes políticos de América Latina y así había sido desde 1959. Su modelo era el enérgico macedonio que construyó muy rápidamente uno de los mayores imperios de la historia. No creo que falte mucho tiempo antes de que el sistema y el gobierno comiencen a desmoronarse. Tal vez tendrán que desaparecer Raúl Castro y la generación del Moncada. Ya todos andan cerca de los noventa años. De manera que, al menos para la oposición, “la luta continua”.
