Constitutional Reform

I fear the Venezuelan opposition will lose on Sunday.

Despite all that has happened, worse may be yet to come.

Conversation with Kate

I still don't know what she finds so disturbing.

Maybe it's because we are English speaking, she thinks those types of things are not supposed to happen here.

I used to think that too.
In this vacuum, why haven't informal media --fora, blogs, etc-- made a more active attempt to spread this sort of information?
Honestly I don't know why, Barbados has.
Trinis just seem to be unable to coalesce.
Too many societal divisions. And NO LEADERS.
Are there precedents set of reprisal?
Yes, it is has happened and will continue to happen.

Trinidad Venezuela

My observations on reading "Something weird is going on"

PNM / Chavista - Red
COP/ Guarimba - White.

Julia is obviously assuming people can read.
30% of Trinis can't. My guess is Venezuela is similar.

But I suppose I should read the proposed reform since I can.

For some reason the social classes cannot unite.

This is why there was no Belmont posse at the St Ann's Candidate debate.
Which only Daniel attended.

Not sure if the rumours of PNM sending around a car to say no debate are true. - Wouldn't put it past them, but has not been verified to me at any rate. PNMites who I asked were at party in St James.

All things must come to
El lugar de su quietud

We do not want one of these made about Trinidad




PS: As far as I saw Repriscu El Jesus Herrara Rojas has not been found.
He has become one of our desaparecidos.

La lucha no ha terminado

COP should air something like this

PROHIBIDO OLVIDAR

I am torn about where to post this but I have decided that it belongs here.

Fake News says that we are "not assault the public with irrelevant ads"

But the Venezuelan Prohibido Olvidar - Do not forget, ads courtesy youtube are very relevant to our current situation.




Half way through the sign says
"I want to live without fear - Quiero vivir sin miedo
and to sleep before my son comes back home -y no duermo hasta que mi hijo no llega a la casa"

The end says only in remembering the errors of the past can we better our future.
