http://caracaschronicles.blogspot.com/2006/05/documenting-documentable.html
May 4, 2006. Here's just a taste of the Venezuela Chapter of the Interamerican Commission on Human Right's 2005 Annual Report:. A Risk of segregating a sector of Venezuelan society because of its political dissent. 332 In this context, and with a view to encouraging analysis, the Commission takes this opportunity to refer to some decisions of the United Nations Human Rights Committee[326] and the European Court of Human Rights that exemplify the case-law in international law, and which are relevant for d...

Caracas Chronicles: The Talented Mr. Chavez
http://caracaschronicles.blogspot.com/2006/02/talented-mr-chavez.html
February 1, 2006. The Talented Mr. Chavez. A Castro-loving, Bolivar-worshipping, onetime baseball-player wannabe, Venezuela 's Hugo Chávez is perhaps the world's most openly anti-American head of state. With Latin America in the midst of a leftward swing, how dangerous is he? Originally published in the May 2006 issue of The Atlantic. By five o'clock, the crowd of several thousand had consumed seven hours of speechifying by Chávez supporters and grown hoarse from nearly as much "¡Viva Venezuela! Where Bo...

Caracas Chronicles: The Savage Discourse
http://caracaschronicles.blogspot.com/2005/01/savage-discourse.html
January 7, 2005. These selected passages are translated from El Laberinto de los Tres Minotauros. By JM Briceño Guerrero, available at the better Caracas bookstores.]. The Labyrinth of the Three Minotaurs. Three great, underlying discourses govern Latin American thinking. This can be seen in the history of ideas, the observation of political events, and the examination of artistic creativity. The savage discourse is lodged in the most intimate corners of emotion, and relativizes the other two, manifestin...

http://caracaschronicles.blogspot.com/2006/09/stop-him-before-he-speechifies-again.html
September 14, 2006. Stop Him Before He Speechifies Again. Well, I've been surfing YouTube for clips of Manuel Rosales campaigning. Basically, the guy seems to have two modes: soporific and hyperventilatory. Here's an example of soporific:. Now, playing this clip, even those of you who don't understand Spanish will have no trouble grasping why his candidacy, erm, faces an uphill struggle.that tone! Those of you who do understand Spanish really owe it to yourselves to bajarse de esa nube. December 20 - Dec...

Caracas Chronicles: III. The "democratic revolution" is a contradiction in terms
http://caracaschronicles.blogspot.com/2006/04/iii-democratic-revolution-is.html
April 13, 2006. III The "democratic revolution" is a contradiction in terms. Democracy implies a clear delineation of the conceptual boundaries between "party," "government," "state," and "nation.". Democracy conceives of the state. As the institutional incarnation of the nation,. Something larger and more permanent than the government. Is led but not owned by the government.

Caracas Chronicles: That Useless Election for the Red Caudillo
http://caracaschronicles.blogspot.com/2005/12/that-useless-election-for-red-caudillo.html
December 8, 2005. That Useless Election for the Red Caudillo. By Guido Rampoldi in La Repubblica. This article caught my eye for several reasons. For one thing, it's rare to see foreign journalists grasp how hollow Chavez's claim to be leading a revolution really is, and Rampoldi is unsparing on that point. For another, it's always significant when a left-wing paper turns on Chavez, and this piece appeared in La Repubblica, which is sort of like the Italian version of The Guardian. Add to that the fact t...
