May 2013

Foment a bit of violence, shortages, disarray...get people to say that Chavez died earlier than the published date, and Maduro ordered a cover-up...have people (and all his "people" are Hugo's, actually--not "his&quot tell him silly stuff like "Chavez was poisoned" and "Uribe is trying to kill you" so that he takes to the airwaves and repeats it, frantically, like a crazy person...

When daily life gets bad enough, and Maduro sounds crazy enough, the military pounces, removes him, and installs the next guy in line--Cabello. "SEE?" says the military...."We didn't want to seize power, we're letting the succession process go forward ...we just wanted to get that crazy guy out of the way, in honor of Hugo's legacy..." Then, Diosdado gets up and blames all the misery on Maduro. "Things were swell under Hugo, and Maduro ruined it. It'll take a while, and much sacrifice, but we'll get back to those days again." Anytime anyone says "Shit, I got a bigger dole check under Hugo" the answer will be "Blame Maduro."

It's like Turkey, only with a bit less due process.

Now I'm an "elitist?" Please. MADem May 2013 #5

I said "your elitist remark". The emphasis is on *remark* Catherina May 2013 #6

These aren't "interpretations." The inflation rate, the crime rate, the lack of a money supply, the MADem May 2013 #30

Those problems are all "fabrications" by the right-wing media. Marksman_91 May 2013 #33
