Parece que o silêncio sobre a implosão da ditadura comunista da
Venezuela imposto pelos jornalistas de esquerda que infestam, dominam e
manipulam as redações da mídia internacional está chegando ao fim. O
Washington Post, por exemplo, bota os pingos nos iis. Acusa o governo
Maduro da violência, revela que os Cubanos comandam as milícias e dá um
tabefe bem merecido na cara do governo brasileiro pelo seu apoio
irrestrito ao regime:
Mr. Maduro and government media are trying to portray Mr. Lopez as an
extremist, calling him “the face of facism” and alleging he was plotting
a coup. In fact, the 42-year-old former mayor is a left-leaning,
Harvard-educated moderate who has proven over a decade that he is
committed to peaceful and democratic change.Government officials concede
that Mr. Lopez was not present when shots were fired last Wednesday
following a protest march. Videos and photographs compiled by Ultimas
Noticias, a newspaper usually supportive of the government, showed the
gunfire came from “individuals identified with uniforms, plates and
vehicles of the [state] Intelligence Service accompanied by others
dressed as civilians.”As long ago became clear, the extremists in
Venezuela are not the opposition leaders or students, but Mr. Maduro and
his regime. As the economic crisis they created worsens, they are
strangling what remain of free media and the private sector by denying
them hard currency needed for imports, including newsprint. They are
attempting to terrorize a burgeoning, student-led protest movement into
standing down. Scores of activists have been arrested in the last week
and some have allegedly been tortured. The foreign meddlers are not at
the U.S. Embassy but from Cuba, which has hundreds of operatives across
the government helping to direct the repression.Venezuela’s unraveling
should be a frightening sight to neighbors such as Brazil, which has
stubbornly supported Mr. Maduro and his predecessor Hugo Chavez even as
they wrecked what was once Latin America’s richest country.
