Joshua Goodman
On 15th October 2014, president Nicolas Maduro invite AP, among other media outlets. The evening was organized to show to the whole nation the evidence that demonstrate how the member of parliament Robert Serra was assassinated fifteen days before. One of the sad things that I have to see was the question that Mr Goodman did after he received the opening turn for the Q&A in the room “Sol del Peru”, Miraflores Palace en Caracas, Venezuela. It is important to say that in the national drama the Venezuelan people has being put through in those fifteen days , this presentation was a turning point and the first question giving to a foreign media outlet of the high relevance, but Mr Goodman chose to ask something else, he asked about the petrol prices. That was his opening, the question was not impulsive nor accidental, because he read it.
Robert Serra was one of the most outstanding member of the Venezuelan parliament. Serra was representation of the Venezuelan youth, and held the record of being the youngest ever public servant in being appointed by popular vote and be sitting in the National Assembly. Robert Serra developed a speech that was very caustic to the opposing factions and regain a well define role model among the new generation of politicians in Venezuela. Direct, authentic, incendiary and fast, he spoke really fast and clearly, everybody got speed up after his speeches. Sadly, Robert Serra was kill in a way that shocked the population and many felt ill about the circumstances of his death.
His assassination was a subject of multiple analysis until that evening, 15th October, when the president Nicolas Maduro invite several journalist and media outlet to search together into it. The invitation was to discuss one of the most sensible and painful event Venezuelans has to endure and involved dangerous war games that are complex and need careful attention, but Mr Goodman choose to ask about the petrol price. In this evening Mr Goodman behaved with such level of insensitivity in regards to the high tension the country were put through by imported violence and his line of questioning were so out of context that worries many where his mind is dwelling.
Given the fact that Mr Goodman only report “the worst” in every of his inputs about Venezuela, as the sample of tweets shows here, and taking note that when he is in front of the president of Venezuela and the subject is insecurity and political crimes, he choose to distract away the focus of attention, I wonder if he fit for the job or is he professionally out of focus about what means being a journalist and reporting from Venezuela, or is this just another way to offer protection to the criminals, to made a distraction, play down the gravity of the events, and made them looks trivial, irrelevant.

Venezuelan Opposition set fire to a kinder garden
Venezuelan opposition set fire to a kinder garden as a mean of “peacefully” protesting against the government. A total of nearly 100 children (from babies of 6 moths up to toddlers of 3 years old) were in the facilities, when opposition activist set the whole place in flames. The location is in Chacao, a municipality controlled by an opposition party, where public servants work for the housing national program in Venezuela, called “Gran Mission Vivienda Venezuela”, one of the most successful governmental programs led by Hugo Chavez. The opposition has always denied the achievements of this program, and mocking and insulting the people that got a modern brand new house leaving behind of the slums and refuges.
Fire fighters recued the kids that where attacked by the violent Venezuelan political opposition.
Three kids were severely affected by the gases and I understand they are out of danger after the emergency assisted them.

Ecocide shows lack of ethical grounds for the Venezuelan opposition
by William Mora
When Venezuelan opposition called to create a state of commotion that could allow then to oust the legitimate president Nicolas Maduro, elected by democratic ballot, they always knew that will be casualties and other fatalities, from which they do not repent, on the contrary, they stimulate to go even further. So far has being 45 days of focal terror on few upper and middle class neighbourhoods in some Venezuelan cities with a toll of 39 assassinations directly link to road barricade named “guarimbas” which are under the reach of snipers that prevent anybody to clear the road under their watch. We have to add more than 500 injured people directly linked to the guarimbas and a bigger number of indirect casualties and injured due to circumstances that could never end in such if the political terror tactics imposed upon the population had never started. The scale of material damages caused to private and public property is just beyond acceptable.
As if this was not yet enough the opposition has committed other kind of crime against other living beings, that only sensitive people can understand and denounce it.
To build the blockades and barricades on the streets, the Venezuelan opposition has chop and knock down ornamental trees on the main roads of the cities. Around 5000 trees has being knock down for this only purpose in the last days of focal violence, out of them 200 were considered patrimonial listed trees to be protected and preserved. The opposition actions do not stop there, they has carry out forest fires on emblematic parks only with the purpose of affecting electrical facilities and cut off the electricity to main cities. That happened on Caracas this ending week. Around 300 forestall fire has being count so far, many in national parks and areas of protected fauna and flora with very sensitive ecosystems. The national park Henri Pitier, Waraira Repano, Chorro del Indio are among some of them attacked.
The level of irrationality of the Venezuelan opposition has considered as a valid tactic to set fire on living dogs and through then on the barricades to act as a deterrence for who ever deer to clean the barricades. The latest move is to use dog as a bomb-carriers, and set the explosive on when the dog is near the police officers. On the following audio you can hear their communications instructing each other to take those criminal actions, this recording was made public the day of today, the speakers are in Spanish and there no English subtitles yet.

All this violence has being justify upon the stand that the opposition has much better ethical grounds than the bolivarian revolution to rule Venezuela. The evidences shows the contrary.
