Liberty Reborn

No, Hugo Chavez has not given up his desire to be dictator for life of Venezuela. He’s just had to put those plans on hold for a little while as he convinces the people of Venezuela that he really can make his brand of fascist Marxism work despite its repeated failure everywhere else it has been tried … and of course gets rid of all the rest.

President Hugo Chávez has used his decree powers to carry out a major overhaul of this country’s intelligence agencies, provoking a fierce backlash here from human rights groups and legal scholars who say the measures will force citizens to inform on one another to avoid prison terms.
Under the new intelligence law, which took effect last week, Venezuela’s two main intelligence services, the DISIP secret police and the DIM military intelligence agency, will be replaced with new agencies, the General Intelligence Office and General Counterintelligence Office, under the control of Chávez.

The new law requires people in the country to comply with requests to assist the agencies, secret police or community activist groups loyal to Chávez. Refusal can result in prison terms of two to four years for most people and four to six years for government employees.

Looks like someone has been reading up on how Hitler and the socialists maintained control in Germany. Get the people to rat out their neighbors who don’t see eye to eye with his “wisdom” – then lock them up or make them disappear.

Soon no one will be left to oppose his will. Then socialism will work. No really - this time for sure!
