No, thank you. You seem to have a genuine concern about Venezuela's situation and definitely you are aware of it's "role" in the leftist global propaganda (sorry, I couldn't think of a better term for it). I admit it's very easy to get caught up in the apparent utopia.
Maybe you'll find Servando Gonzalez's work a little fringe, but it has been the best way that I've found to understand the place I live in without loosing my mind. You see, it seems Venezuela's role in the future of global politics is sort of fundamental (as a social/legal precedent), and all this mess we've gone through has been something very carefully directed (you can picture me with the tinfoil hat here if you want, I won't take it as an offense).
That coup back in april of 2002 is one of the more strange things that have ever happened in the history of coups, it sparked a rise in the oil prices at the time and gave Chávez ALL he needed to enforce the idea of his revolution, but there's a third party working behind the courtain and reading Servando Gonzalez's work I've found my most acceptable theory of it. I'm not selling it, since I can't be really sure of anything, but I can bet you will enjoy reading it.
I can't thank you enough for bringing the subject to discussion and sharing info about it. I'l be writing a personal story of the things you see as a musician in a private military ascencion party, it's not very political, but it's a true story ;-) I'll let you know when I post it, thanks so much for inspiring. Good reading. Keep in touch
