Showing Original Post only (View all)Venezuela govt LIES: Diodado Cabello's picture showing war weapons held by anti-chavista is a fake! [View all]
Talk about manipulating the truth and creating fear with lies...
Last night during his show "hitting with the sledgehammer" on the main state TV channel (VTV), D. Cabello (the president of Ven. National Assembly) aired this very spectacular image of a supposed arsenal of war weapons held by a retired general called Vivas, a notorious anti-chavista right-winger*.
As you can see, it was actually the picture of an airsoft guns rental shop in the US...
So here you have THE most important man of the regime after the president caught using fake pictures and trying to manipulate the public opinion on national TV.
Someone said manipulation and lies?
*Vivas is currently barricaded in his house with an assault rifle in his hands as he refuses to be arrested. He is accused of moral complicity in a murder case. The arrest order was given after a PSUV biker died in a anti-bike trap which was probably put by rioters during a recent night protest. Neighbors are surrounding his house in order to prevent the cops from intervening.
A special mention to the artist who posted this crap:
