It is not necessarily accurate and articles in it can be "bagged" by those with an agenda. There they sit, and are accepted as gospel by the average reader.

These are either outrageous, insulting, containing bad language, or directly threatening myself or others.<br /><br />I am retaining these and will likely deal with them in a follow up omnibus post on my blog. I have no intention of allowing them to contaminate my current post and thereby limit is useful circulation including among the relevant authorities.<br /><br />I will include consideration of any comments you forward me insofar as they may differ from what Jon has left directly on my own post. Jon, as we know by now, is more of a blunderbuss than a sniper, and his footprints are all over the place. <br /><br />People may recall that it was because of Jon, and his insulting addenda to a post I did on Bob Hill's stroke, that I had to start moderating my blog which had been un-moderated since its inception in 2005.<br /><br />I am quite happy to accept bona fide criticism but I will not have my hard work polluted by this person. My apologies to anyone I may have blocked in error but, as I already explained in the moderation tab on my blog, I am going to err on the side of caution.<br /><br />Finally, Voice, my apologies for all the trouble my post has brought to your fine blog and your own moderation efforts. I know you have your hands full in your public service blogging not to mention presumably in your real life.

To anyone who has been there, as I have, it is the reason that Hugo Chevez is still loved by so many millions, even as they dispair at the failures of his successor.<br /><br />What people also know and seals the dilema is that the still fragmented opposition who scream about abuses that in truth pale beside what the double act party sham of Copei and Action Democratica inflicted for generations want only a return to the country's oil wealth being for the benefit of the oligarchs and their American chums alone who control the food shortages in the hope of bringing the country to its knees.<br /><br />The undoubted murder of Chavez by the USA is one of the great tragedies of modern times. Chavez's biggest mistakes after the American supported coup were to think he had to try and do it all himself, and not develop a strong core of others who could succeed him when the inevitable happened. This led to yrt another level of chancers replacing the old one.<br /><br />I would nevertheless strongly suggest anyone not being fully aware of the Venezuela situation watch the award winning Irish documentary The revolution will not be televised.<br /><br />Actually Chavez's other huge mistaken was granting clemency to the cowardly scum who tried to murder him in 2002. Why can't the USA keep its dirty paws out of other countries who don't want to be Washington Consensus poodles? Then again maybe in time with Britain falling apart at the seams before too long Trump will decide a Jersey takeover is long overdue?

USSR, China, Vietnam, North Korea ........and most recently Venezuela. The former champions of Venezuela have gone rather quiet for some reason.<br /><br />In all of these socialist utopias the bodies have piled high through a mixture of violence, imprisonment and economic collapse.<br /><br />In all societies there is room for a balance of socialist policies but with this disastrous history only the criminally naïve are convinced by assurances of socialism being a guaranteed success when it is done "properly"<br /><br />A nice idea that has proved again and again not to work.<br /><br />A left wing party serves a purpose of partially balancing the right wing establishment, so perhaps a way forward is for the realistic centre (if it exists) to form a centre party which would have a fighting chance of governing in coalition with RJ.<br /><br />A coalition majority is not going to happen any time soon unless it contests the 1/3 Constables Party and subjects the Crown Officers to the law.<br /><br />The underlying problem here is that the Crown Officers ARE the law!<br />That is why both vulnerable children .....and let's face it, the rest of you, are screwed for years to come!<br />The missing link at 07:40 ......http://freespeechoffshore.nl/stuartsyvretblog/the-medium-is-the-massage-part-1/noreply@blogger.com
