The Excel Depression


*************************

Why Latin America should matter to the Rich American and the Poor American ??? - Questions about Freedom and Democracy but also the value of shares and bonds that are traded in Wall Street and the importance of Trade in the World Economy

.
Two opposite scenarios "The Sinking" and the "Economic Boom" of Latin America :

1) The sinking of Latin America is Venezuela where Dictator Maduro ( and Chavez in the past ) have had thugs attacking those that dissent. Some people have been killed this week while in "Cacerolazo" ( noise banging pots an pans ) by motorcycle thugs that defend the Tyranny.

2) The president of the National Assembly Diosdado Cabello is a stupid thug that has promised to kick out from this parliament all the members of the opposition and has allowed a bloodbath in the premises or precincts of that Chamber. Cabello is also very corrupt.

3) There is also big cacerolazo against chavista lady Cristina Fernandez de Kitchner, president of Argentina, because of the corruption, mismanagement and inefficiency of this Government.

4) Chavez and Maduro have corrupted Latin America with their money ( they have squandered one trillion dollars in oil revenues ). Most Latin American countries have become beggars kneeling and begging for alms from Venezuela.

 

The "Economic Boom" in Latin America :

The collapse of the Venezuelan Government would be well received in Wall Street. All Latin American Investments, shares and bonds would increase in value automatically.

Another Big Problem is Colombia, very much linked to Venezuela, but more prosperous and organized economically as a free market economy. Venezuelans smuggle foodstuffs to Colombia because of the Chavista Price Controls and the hard currency called Colombian peso, while the Venezuelan currency sinks every day, the "poor" Colombia has diversified exports that increase every year at fast pace. Venezuela is ruined and is a mono-exporter.

The Colombian president has shown signs of being very foolish and wants to give total impunity to the Terrorists, Murderers, Kidnappers, Sowers of Land Mines that kill and main Children. They are also bombers, not different of those that killed a child, a young woman and a man in Boston during a Marathon.

After Canada, Latin American is the most important market for U. S. Products, more important as a buyer than the European Community.

So having an economic boom in Latin America is good for American Jobs and for the poor American Citizen.

There are some countries in this subcontinent that are persuaded of Free Market Economics. They are Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Peru and Colombia. They have shown economic dynamism and more growth than the beggar nations that receive gifts from Venezuela.

VIDEO Venezuela : The stupididy of a Dictator, The Imbecility of Tyranny, Maduro called for a "Cohetazo" against "Cacerolazo" - The loud noise that you hear is millions of housewives and children banging pots and pans against the dictatorship

.

The Fireworks increase the Confusion and sense of Abnormality. The Cohetazo or Fireworks was asked by the Dictator. The Cacerolazo or Noise of Millions of Pots, Pans, Spoons, was asked by his rival Capriles.

This is the "Autumn of the Patriarch" ( Garcia Marquez Novel ) when a tropical dictator becomes mad with Narcissism and Arrogance. The Caribbean Satraps : Maduro, Cuba's Castros and Nicaragua's Ortega can only go down, like communism in Russia.

According to reports and comments in many websites Cacerolazo trumps Cohetazo !!

The dictator loses because the Confusion, Disorder, Upheaval, Tumult, Chaos, Quagmire and Conundrum are increasing every day. And he is beginning to be hated by the same Chavistas that he is supposed to lead.

VIDEO, Venezuela : Thousands of students surround the building where dictator Maduro is usurping and stealing the Presidency in a ceremony and shout "Pirobo, Pirobo", which means degenerate sexually perverted criminal

.
The tyrant of Venezuela seems very unpopular for youth and students. They chant the ugliest words of the Spanish Language for the "Son of Chavez" .... This satrap will have a lot of trouble staying in power, the same Chavistas are angry that he performed so poorly in the last elections of Sunday, April 14, 2013.

One million voters that voted for Hugo Chavez six months ago, crossed over to Henrique Capriles, so dictator Nicolas Maduro lost that million of adherents, and challenger Capriles added those voters to his supporters.

They laughed at Ashley's Sincere and Tender Feminine Christianity and at her rebellion against male domination. "She's emotionally unbalanced. ....... she's suffered some suicidal tendencies. She was hospitalized for 42 days when she had a mental breakdown in the '90s."

Ashley Judd was portrayed as a "carpetbagger", that is an enemy and traitor to the South and its values.

"They want to fight? We're ready," Mitch McConnell declared filled with aggression against Ashley Judd.

*************************

Nothing is more boring than a Dictatorship - The Tyrant of Venezuela talks blather for hours and hours like Fidel Castro, Stalin or Hitler and he mentions the "Comandate President" Hugo Chavez at least one hundred times per day

.

Incessant talk of Hugo Chavez, even after he was given the election ( by his sycophants ! ) :

Nicolas Maduro, dictator of Venezuela, an usurper using months and months of lies and coups d'Etat ( golpes de estado ) against the constitution. Total Mendacity and Hypocrisy !

This guy Nicolas Maduro lives in the past telling constant anecdotes about his relationship with Hugo Chavez and spitting fire and hate against the Opposition, accusing them of being murderers, criminals being "sold to American Imperialism".

But a Venezuelan Housewife already knows that Hugo Chavez is a Demi-God and Hero that is seated in Heaven between Jesus of Nazareth and the Virgin Mary. So that housewife does not care about the sainthood and heroism of Chavez.

She only cares about filling her refrigerator with food for her family. And the problem is the increasing scarcity and poverty in Venezuela and you can not get the first necessity products in many cities, towns and locations.

Devaluation and Inflation are destroying the Venezuelan Economy. ..... The economy is mono-exporter, after Chavez destroyed Industry and Entrepreneurship. He expropriated the bourgeois that he hated and became extremely rich in the process sending his moneys and those of his family abroad to tax havens.

Meanwhile Venezuela is one of the most Criminal Countries in the World with one of the highest rates of murder. Venezuela doubles Colombia in murders per 100,000 people and is four time more lethal than Mexico, even if there are mafia wars in Mexico.

So Venezuela is now a Thanatocracy, Necrocracy and Mausolocracy, that is the Government by reference to the past and to dead people : The Mummy of Chavez and the bones and skull of Bolivar rule and are being worshiped in a Mausoleum.

Henrique Capriles will apply the teachings of Henry David Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela : Civil Resistance to Despotism, Passive Resistance, Disobeying the Tyrant.

VIDEO, with a better translation to English, explanation and improved sound : Venezuela's Capriles refuses to accept Maduro victory : " Mr. Maduro, if you were illegitimate before, now you are even more loaded with illegitimacy," he said.

.

Capriles was the hope of a ruined country with one of the highest crime rates, hyper inflation, constant devaluations, scarcity of necessary food products, price controls, lack of respect for any constitution, lack of separation of powers, lack of freedom of speech and hundreds of dirty tricks against the opposition.

Add to this a shameful foreign policy of aggression against neighbors, threats of invading the "sister" republic of Colombia, political support and funding for the FARC Terrorist Guerrillas of Colombia, and other clownish misadventures. A fascist government of ridiculous operetta.

Venezuela's Capriles refuses to accept Maduro victory

Venezuela's opposition leader Henrique Capriles is refusing to accept the narrow win of the ruling party candidate Nicolas Maduro.

In a speech to the nation he said he demanded an immediate recount and alleged voting irregularities.

"I don't deal with lies and corruption. My deal is with God and with the Venezulan people. Mr. Maduro, if you were illegitimate before, now you are even more loaded with illegitimacy," he said.

"They have obtained a result that was announced in the National Electoral Council, on the basis of all these "incidents" Capriles added saying his team had identified more than 3,000 voting irregularities.

Capriles, 40, had argued that voters were tired of divisive Chavez-era politics, and vowed to tackle daily worries such as violent crime, high inflation and poor utilities.

Venezuela's Capriles refuses to accept Maduro victory



*************************

The Fascist Terrorist Thieves that rule Venezuela will continue in power by very dubious means. - But I have absolutely no doubt that a Big Erosion of this Madness has begun. - The "Victory" speech of Nicolas Maduro can not be more brutal, fascist and aggressive

.

The Venezuelan Thanatocracy ( rule by the death, using the Mummy of Chavez and the bones of Bolivar ) will continue for some time big or small, but let's be clear, this idiotic project of Chavismo has been strongly weakened by the election of Sunday, April 14, 2013.

I don't have the powers of a seer or a witch, but I clearly see that now the path of chavismo is a calvary of thorns and stones until the crucifixion. And chavistas will fall many times in this "via dolorosa".

They will be weakened to support the Terrorist FARC guerrillas in Colombia, these brutal murderers also kidnap Venezuelan Ranchers and Farmers, and practice extortion inside Venezuelan Territory. Chavez always supported the FARC in speeches, gave sanctuary to these terrorists in Venezuelan Territory and funded them.

Thousands of Children that lost their legs and testicles in Colombia with FARC land mines can thank Chavez and Maduro. Many Children, Women and the Old lost their lives in the mine fields of FARC.

Gone are the times when Hugo Chavez mobilized troops, tanks and airplanes to the Venezuelan Border with Colombia and threatened and invasion of the "sister" nation.

Gone are the times to threaten the United States with shooting missiles against American airplanes or ships.

I want to be prudent and I do not want to fan violence or rebellion, because I see that these Venezuelan Thugs in Government are "rolling down the Hill", and from now on, they will be a ridiculous circus of clowns.

Maduro has no intelligence, Venezuela no longer has a "Comandate Presidente", but a "Chofer Presidente", that is a "Chauffeur President" because Nicolas Maduro was a bus driver and unionist that never studied anything.

His "Victory" speech was filled with aggression and fascism. He is unable to make a U-Turn on a dime a turnaround of 180 degrees in the conduction of Venezuela by means of fascism.

Expect a lot of Necrocracy ( ruling by dead corpses ) and Mausolocracy ( the ridiculous Mauseleums of death heroes ).

Expect the Venezuelan Economy going down the drain with more stupid price controls, as Venezuelans smuggle their products to Colombia where they get better prices in hard currencies : the U. S. Dollar and the Colombian Peso that is so hard that Colombian exporters weep and complain every day of "Revaluation" and that they get very few dollars for their exports because of the excessive price of the Colombian peso.

Colombia has a capitalist market economy, with diversified exports, while Venezuela is "Socialist of the 21 century" only exports oil, industry has been ruined by Chavez, Venezuela has continuous devaluations, inflation, price controls, loss of Competivity, lack of diversity, rampant statism, flagrant clientelism, nepotism and thievery. That is only good for Tax Havens, Tax Heavens, Fiscal Paradises in the Caribbean and Switzerland.
