⚙️ Máquina de factos para explicarte lo que hay detrás de la reunión en Panamá y poorqué el progreso del país exige decisiones de altísimo costo político porque las transnacionales exigen políticas de estado para invertir y evitar un apagón definitivo.

[P. L. Garmendia G. 🌻 @plgarmendia]

Venezuela has lived through so many abuses over the past two decades that words like “atrocious” or “grotesque” increasingly feel exhausted before they are even spoken.

But every so often a case cuts through the country’s accumulated moral fatigue.

An elderly woman spent months searching for a son the state had already buried. Institutions continued telling her he was alive. Paperwork kept moving. Officials kept answering.

At some point outrage stops being enough. What remains is something closer to moral exhaustion.

Historias borradas de abril 2002

Otra vez es abril.
La historia oficial, impuesta por el chavismo y su aparato de propaganda, se ha encargado de ir borrando detalles de los episodios del año 2002:

– Borraron al comandante Raúl Isaías Baduel, responsable del regreso de Chávez. Estuvo preso en una de las peores cárceles del país hasta que murió, mientras también se han ensañado contra su hijo en largas detenciones.

– Borraron a Lucas Rincón Romero, el vocero del Alto Mando Militar que aseguró en televisión que Chávez había renunciado. Fue premiado y silenciado en una embajada.

– Borraron a Leamsy Salazar, el militar que sostuvo la bandera en el techo de Miraflores cuando se recuperó el palacio. Hoy está refugiado en EEUU y colaboró como informante.

– Borraron a Manuel Antonio Rosendo, general que se negó a obedecer la orden de Chávez (Tiburón 1) de activar el Plan Ávila el 11 de abril: represión militar contra el pueblo, igual que El Caracazo. En 2010 trabajaba para el propio chavismo en la embajada en Portugal. Hoy no se sabe.

– Borraron la declaración del embajador de Cuba, Germán Sánchez Otero, esa donde agradecía al alcalde de Baruta, Henrique Capriles, por su mediación en la embajada con la gente que protestaba a las afueras. Aunque en tres juicios no pudieron demostrarlo, se le acusaba en medios del Estado de lo contrario: haber aupado ese asedio.

– Borraron los rastros de los francotiradores. No hay nombres ni detalles ni estudios balísticos que diesen pistas de nada. Teniendo los recursos para investigar, el chavismo le ha garantizado impunidad a los que dispararon. Es más, ni siquiera se puede asegurar ya si hubo o no francotiradores.

– Borraron las declaraciones de Francisco Arias Cárdenas en la televisión, donde dijo que Chávez era un asesino “con las manos manchadas de sangre”. Luego fue gobernador de Zulia por el PSUV y le sirvió por años al chavismo en la embajada de México.

– Borraron a las víctimas opositoras. Hoy sin justicia.

– Borraron que dejaron escapar a Pedro Carmona Estanga del país ¿cómo se les escapa un sexagenario que estaba bajo custodia militar y había “salido a trotar”?

– Borraron el intercambio de disparos entre la Policía Metropolitana y los pistoleros de Puente Llaguno. Sólo muestran a los policías y los acusan de todo lo posible y más. Eximen de responsabilidad a los civiles del chavismo que usaron armas de fuego. Los elevan al nivel de héroes. Los policías siguen injustamente presos.

– Borraron la posibilidad de que veas apuntes como estes en cualquier canal de televisión nacional.

@zarahsultana This is not a sovereign government, they lost the elections last year. They have starved our families, tortured and killed thousands for 26 years, and where were you? More than 8 millions have left the Country due to economic struggles and political prosecutions. Shut up!

@Zauvaughn They used to support all the atrocities the Venezuelan regime did because they were getting cheap oil, buying political alliances, and votes at the OEA. But now the oil goes to China, Iran, and Russia. Neither side ever cared about the people.

[Edurne Elguezabal @edurnutxa]

@LoftusSteve Explain to me why should the state tax money that the state is giving already from the state money collected via taxes? Taxing benefits (including state pensions) is a symbolic and a useless exercise, adding admin work, i.e. costing more.

1. Starts with convenience, ends with requirement

Beginning: Digital ID is pitched as a way to make travel faster (no passport lines) or banking easier (no remembering logins).

Creep: Suddenly it’s needed for tax filings, then healthcare, then picking up a parcel.

Endgame: Without it, you’re effectively cut off from daily life.

2. Health data creep

Beginning: Used just to prove vaccination status or prescription history.

Creep: Expanded to include diet, exercise, or “wellness” tracking.

Endgame: Insurance rates or access to services tied to lifestyle scores, punishing people for “bad” habits.

3. Financial gatekeeping

Beginning: Digital ID is tied to your bank for “fraud prevention.”

Creep: Purchases are logged and monitored. Certain “risky” or “undesirable” purchases get flagged.

Endgame: Transactions blocked entirely — for example, you can’t buy alcohol, fuel, or even travel tickets without “approval.”

4. Behavior-based access

Beginning: ID is used to prevent repeat fraud or petty crime.

Creep: Authorities start tagging IDs with fines, tickets, or “infractions.”

Endgame: A record of “bad behavior” could stop you from boarding a plane, renting a flat, or getting a job.

5. Political or social enforcement

Beginning: ID is promoted as a way to fight misinformation or verify accounts online.

Creep: Posts, donations, or memberships are logged and tied to your ID.

Endgame: Dissenting opinions, protests, or controversial speech could lead to bans from social media, banking, or even travel.

6. From optional to mandatory

Beginning: Politicians reassure the public: “It’s voluntary.”

Creep: Businesses start requiring it because it’s convenient for them.

Endgame: The government no longer needs to mandate it — you simply can’t function without one, so refusal isn’t a real option.

Since people are asking, I went to the Unite the Kingdom rally to film interviews with people on the ground as well as Tommy and other speakers backstage. I have been to pro-Palestine, pro-Israel, climate protests etc so have a good sense of the rally in context of other events. Our film will be out soon.

My thoughts:

- The police estimate for attendance (110k) seems like a massive undercount and organiser claim of "millions" is an exaggeration. I would guess 400-600k.

- I saw no violence in the main area of the rally. Scuffles seem to have broken out on a side street away from the main protest (opposite Horse Guard) where due to large numbers of people attending many people who wanted to see the rally could not. I did not see the actual altercation but did see riot police slowly and very professionally moving back the protestors and then collecting a few dozen bottles that had clearly been thrown at them.

- Were the people in attendance "far right"? We should define "far right" which to me would be a racist party with neo-Nazi sympathies like the BNP. I obviously didn't speak to every single person there but I, a well known immigrant with Jewish ancestry, found it a challenge to walk through the crowd with dozens of people draped in England flags stopping to shake my hand and thank me for being there. I had absolutely no trouble being there and did not feel unsafe at any point. Both on stage and in the audience were many, many people of different races and colours. The day ended with a black choir signing Jerusalem.

- Among the speakers, there certainly were a few people who represent fringe parties of the European right. For someone like me who always thought a fake hatred of the French was a key part of British identity it was finny being at a patriotic British event where a speech was delivered in French by a politician (Eric Zemmour) in French. There were also speeches from the AfD, Vox and others. My sense overall was that some of the people on stage were probably far closer to being fringe rightists than those attending.

- Like every other protest I've attended, asking people what specifically they wanted to achieve did not typically produce substantive answers beyond "The politicians need to listen to the people", "We've had enough" etc. If I had to sum up the drivers of people attending, based on my conversations I would say that people's concerns centre around illegal immigration, censorship of speech and failures of integration.

Our film will be out today or tomorrow so you'll be able to watch and judge for yourself.

Either you jail Bob Vylan and Kneecap, or you let Lucy Connelly out of jail and apologise.

Otherwise it’s two-tier policing, two-tier free speech.

@CounsellingSam His education was also protected from disruption due to an immediate change of circumstances in his school and show no remorse for the children which GCSE have been disrupted or completely lost due to imposing taxes in the middle of the school year. They are pulling the ladder.

[Edurne Elguezabal @edurnutxa]

@Jessie_XL @SkyNews Next winter they will have the children sleeping in the school because it will be so expensive to keep our house warm, nothing to do with their Net Zero policies of course.

[Edurne Elguezabal @edurnutxa]

@oIdetonian @TheWesternIntel @Keir_Starmer You do realise that he got his education protected from disruption by the LA, and now he is pulling the ladder away from children like him?

If a man wants to get changed in the ladies’ changing room in front of women, it’s because he’s a pervert. It’s amazing that not everyone can see that.
