Message to INFODIO readers: investigative journalism, which is what this site does, takes lots of time. Visiting media looking for a quick run down on Venezuela's gargantuan corruption, have the decency to at least cite the source when plagiarising this site's content without attribution (exhibit Reuters here and here, exhibit Bloomberg here, exhibit OCCRP here). To all readers, do the right thing, the honest thing: support independent investigative journalism, help us expose rampant corruption. Note added 28/06/2021: impostors are using this site's former editor's full name, and a fake email address (alek.boyd.arregui@gmail.com) to send copyright infringement claims / take down requests to web hosting companies (exhibit Hostgator). The attempt is yet another effort paid by corrupt thugs to erase information about their criminal activities. Infodio.com has no issues with other websites / journalists using / posting information published here, so long as the source is properly cited.

Gadaffi brings in dictator Chavez to 'pacify' Libya

In the latest example of just how utterly fucked up our world is, Libyan tyrant Gadaffi has accepted a 'peace proposal' from his Venezuelan chum Hugo Chavez. Peace, the Venezuelan military dictator will bring. Peace. No, seriously. The man who attempted a military coup against a democratically elected government, causing the deaths of many, is to bring peace to Libya. The man who ordered tanks to placate a peaceful demonstration, will bring peace to Libya. The caudillo who systematically violates the rights of his political opponents, and has built a cult based on hatred, will bring peace to Libya. Fidel Castro's number 1 groupie, and biggest financial supporter, yep, that's the one who'll ensure that peace returns to Libya. ETA, and FARC, most important benefactor and patron, same man, he'll surely diffuse tensions in Libya. He'll surely listen to all parties objectively, ever so equanimous, as he is. Oh, and the Arabs have also been invited to the gig. Next thing we'll be informed, Chavez will form a quartet with America's longest dictator, a pedophile guerrillero, and an African thug to 'pacify' Libya. Freedom loving Libyans aren't convinced. Menos mal!
