Caracas, Venezuela, Aug 15 (Venezuelanalysis.com).- Venezuela's National Electoral Council (CNE) announced today at 2:45pm the existence of a prerecorded fake press conference using the voice of CNE President announcing definitive results of the recall referendum currently under way.

CNE board member Jorge Rodriguez and CNE President Francisco Carrasquero made the announcement, which was initially not covered by the local commercial media, forcing the CNE to make use of a media link-up order. Local commercial TV stations are openly opposed to the Chavez government and campaigned against him.

In the recording, Carrasquero’s voice can be heard saying that "the CNE tally committee has determined that the Yes referendum option obtained 11.431.086 votes, and therefore President Hugo Chavez has been revoked." The fake recording was allegedly intended to be released tonight at 8:00PM.

Carrasquero ordered an exhaustive investigation on the matter, and mentioned that one of the voices in the recording resembles that of a well know media announcer. "This is a grave electoral crime, which is trying to influence the will of voters who has not voted yet," Carrasquero said.

Probably didn't take into account an extension of the voting deadline.

The cynicism of the powerful who spout pro-democracy pablum, while subverting it at the same time, is mind boggling!!!

And it's not just this story, it's all the irons in the fire. All of the unresolved and under-reported crap this administration has been pulling since they were illegally installed.

It's like juggling live hand-grenades. You're unnerved as hell, but you have to keep ah eye on all of 'em, because you don't dare drop a one of 'em!
