Ross Kemp Venezuela
London 17.09.2012 - Last week I saw a program called Extreme World, by Sky's Ross Kemp.
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 INFODIO's former editor's full name, and a fake email address (alek.boyd.arregui at 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.

London 06.09.12 - Venezuelans complain a lot about the creeping authoritarianism of Hugo Chavez, his power-grip, the way he steals elections, mismanages the country's resources and ignores social issues. Undoubtedly, Chavez has squandered the largest windfall of oil income Venezuela has received. Chavez belongs in a particular league, and it's the sole American representative* to the club of petro-dictators.

London 12.08.2012 - In the last few weeks, some items in the news have shocked me. It may be that I am still to overcome the naiveté and ignorance that's part of the cultural baggage that one carries after having been born and having grown up in a developing country. When one arrives in these, so called, "civilized and advanced" societies, one tends to think that over here the law is upheld and observed by all and sundry. But actually, nothing could be further from the truth.
