No existe nada gratis en esta vida, todos tienen intereses, el poder real se ejerce y todos dicen alguna mentira.
Acepte eso y vivirá más acorde a la realidad.
🇺🇸 Parece que la tarea 📚 que se llevó el nuevo canciller de la dictadura 🇻🇪 desde Washington a su casa es organizar, pero ya, las elecciones en los consulados venezolanos en Estados Unidos. Para ello lo pusieron. Oliver Blanco se enteró en Washington por qué Marco Rubio despidió a Félix Plasencia, el anterior canciller de la dictadura saliente.
@thelmafernandez Estoy convencido este tipo de personajes saben bien porque dicen eso, justamente por saberlo, es que su labor es crear laberintos interminables en la mente de la gente.
Marear la percepción de lo que ya se lleva avanzado, presentando opciones espejismo, diluir ideas, etc.
Esa hazaña tiene que ser recordada permanentemente.
Pareciera que fue algo menor la corrupción tan descomunal que hicieron con el sistema electoral. Lo de Brasil es la otra cara de la moneda que pudo ser el 28J en Venezuela. La persecución hubiese sido más atroz para todos.
La hazaña de MCM es una lección para el mundo, no hay otro caso en la historia electoral contemporánea en el q se haya demostrado un fraude con un nivel de detalle como el del 28J, ella convirtió una denuncia política en una evidencia documental objeto de escrutinio independiente
@thexpeditionary El problema de fondo es este. El considera que es mejor quedarse callado ante lo que se percibe como errado, si manifiesta lo que piensa dividirá a la gente, es desleal y ayuda al chavismo.
Nada que el chavismo no hizo con el rodilla en tierra. Son hippies amaestrados.
@vdcallejas@Visionsito@claumacero Y quien o que te ha dicho que reservarte tus opiniones es lo adecuado? La libertad implica expresarlas y asumir que pueden ser cuestionadas.
Puedes aceptarlas y entenderlas o hacer caso omiso.
La libertad es algo recíproco
Va a llegar al poder, aún haciendo mensajes muy cursis para el pragmatismo y madurez que requiere la situación.
Las cosas importantes por lo general son incómodas de hacer, tratar de inducir un sentimiento que no es el acorde para la situación, es infantilizar a la sociedad.
No comprendo porque no dedican mejor el tiempo en hacer contenido cultural y político importante para la gente.
Explicar los fundamentos de libertad, porqué no funciona el socialismo, etc. Hay tantas maneras de ayudar a la gente sin estar aún en el poder.
Mañana, a las 12 del mediodía, la guacamaya @claumacero, nos habla desde su versión más humana.
Claudia, quien también es cantante, comparte con nosotros en esta entrevista cómo vivió la campaña desde la embajada de Argentina en Caracas, el exilio y su regreso al país.
También somos esto.
Pasión, música y vocación.
Disponible mañana a las 12m por nuestro canal de YouTube: Vente Venezuela.
@VenteVenezuela@claumacero "¿Cómo puedo hacer que esto se trate de mí?"
No es el momento y se ve indolente, burlesco y desconectado de la realidad, dedicar tiempo a grabarse echando cuento de su anhelo musical.
El país viene de casi 30 años en eso, quisiera creer que es mera estupidez y van a corregir.
@WalterVMG Comediante mas sobrevalorado no hay. Todos sus stands y presentaciones son para burlarse del blanco, perpetuando esa división desde siempre. Por cierto es islamista converso desde joven. Nada es casualidad.
En USA están intentando silenciosamente y paso a pasito la criminalización del porte de armas.
Siempre van por la necesidad de desarmar al civil y no pueda defenderse del estado. Pasa en cualquier país al que llega socialismo.
I'm a storyteller.
I will tell you a story.
Not a thinly veiled allegory or analogy. Not a fable. Not a parody or a satire, or some smug little parable featuring characters "Ronald Grump" and "Alan Tusk".
No, this is a true story, and it means what it means, with no hidden symbolism whatsoever. It contains only facts, and general principles to derive from them.
It is a story about Rome.
We all know what Rome was. It was a republic, then an Empire, then nothing.
But every time we ask why, historians wish to tell us it is complicated, and that we desperately need historians, such as themselves, to sort it all out.
The decline and fall of the Roman Empire was not complicated.
The decline and fall of the Roman Empire can be explained in two words.
Cheap labor.
The Romans, as you know, had two classes, the patricians and the plebeians.
The patricians ruled Rome. But the plebeians were Rome. And the patricians forgot this.
Around this point in the story, you may be thinking you understand me already. You may think you have anticipated where I am going with this. You may think that this is going to be some general polemic about the importance of remembering the little people.
It is not. I have a very specific meaning, and I always choose my words very, very carefully.
Two words.
Cheap. Labor.
The Romans patricians, like the old and the rich of any society, owned land, and sold goods. To do this, they bought labor.
The Roman plebeians, most especially the young, sold labor. So that they could buy goods and land.
So, it should go without saying, but often doesn't, that it was in the interest of plebeians that goods and land be cheap, and labor be expensive, and in the interest of patricians that land and goods should be expensive, and labor should be cheap.
Now, markets have natural cycles. The price of every thing fluctuates up and down, looking for an equilibrium which is only ever temporary.
Sometimes goods and land are cheap, and labor is expensive. Then the plebeians become fat and prosperous, and they marry pretty girls and have lots of healthy children.
Sometimes goods and land are expensive, and labor is cheap, and patricians amass vast fortunes and build fine estates and eat honeyed dormice.
To every thing, there is a season.
But the patricians controlled Rome. Not fully or directly, not in theory, but they had money. And money buys power. Just as power buys money.
And the temptation, in the long run, became irresistible. To buy political power, and put the finger of that political power on the scales of the market.
To make sure the cheap labor stays cheap forever.
In Rome, cheap labor meant slaves. Elsewhere, it has meant other things.
In Rome, slaves kept labor cheap not only because slaves don't get paid, and can't quit, but also because every plebeian who sells labor must compete with the slave on price.
Little by little, this took away from the plebeians, not only because real wages were depressed, but more importantly because there were no seasons of labor scarcity. No cycles in the market where wages went high.
No fat seasons for the plebes, just an ever-increasing drought.
And, while the patricians controlled Rome, the plebeians were Rome. It was their blood, shed in the legions, that conquered the world. Their sweat that built the shining city of seven hills.
And their patriotism that defined what Rome was.
The patricians ruled Rome. But the plebeians were Rome, and when they ceased to bear allegiance to Rome, Rome ceased to exist, because the only thing that Rome ever was, the only thing that any city or nation ever is, is its people.
A man who has no work, a man who must compete with slaves, a man who is beaten down to want the hungriest beggar will take, is a man who cannot have a home and a family.
Not only because he cannot afford such things. But because no woman will have him. No woman will bear his children.
The ultimate expression, after all, of female lust and admiration, is "I want to have his babies".
Fewer people seem to realize that the reverse is true.
I was told once, by a man who should have known better, that Rome fell because the Romans forgot what it meant to be Roman.
Nonsense.
Rome fell because Romans knew exactly what it meant to be Roman. Which meant they knew that to be Roman meant to be replaced by slaves.
The patricians bore no allegiance to Rome, because it was cheaper to replace the Roman workers with slaves, and the Roman legions with mercenaries.
The plebeians bore no allegiance to Rome, because Rome bore no allegiance to them.
And so Rome simply ceased to be.
The outward forms hung around awhile, until the mercenaries, bearing no true allegiance to Rome, realized they didn't have to wait to be paid. They could just... take.
The patricians destroyed Rome because they thought like politicians instead of kings.
A politician buys a crown by offering the most to those whose support is most in doubt.
A king knows that crowns and thrones are only symbols, and power comes from armies of loyal men, whose loyalty must be bought with loyalty in turn. Not table scraps.
The Roman plebeians didn't want, and couldn't survive on, free bread and circuses. They needed work and land and incomes to have families and happy lives.
But no Caesar emerged in time.
Tick tock, Mr. Vance.
Tick tock.
@cadetevzla El componente militar técnico, con educación, principios y valores estoy seguro que los hay, es hasta improbable pensar que toda la totalidad ha sido corrompida. Los incentivos del sistema son sueldos de hambre y promoción de la corrupción para coercionar luego.
Tomará tiempo.
Ya empezaron los chantajes emocionales e invocación de fantasmas. "No hablemos de justicia e impunidad porque no podemos promover la venganza, eso llevaría a guerra civil."
Definitivamente los estúpidos son peligrosos.
@thelmafernandez La forma de tratar la justicia en una transición de sistema es lo que pone los cimientos de las nuevas generaciones, hacerlo mal no es opción.
La impunidad y justicia no admite comentarios ambiguos.
Es de lo que mas estoy atento en todo este proceso post 3E. Hay mucho ruido.
Si se hacen las cosas medianamente bien, Venezuela tiene oportunidad de oro de recomponerse.
Cuando el dinero fluye y el trabajo aparece, la prosperidad tarde o temprano empezará a verse en la realidad. El chavismo acostumbró a la gente a la oscuridad y desesperanza.
Valentía.
