Chavistas in the Empire: Secrets, Tactics and Scandals of the Bolivarian Revolution in the United States

5Mind. The Meme Platform

Chavistas in the Empire is written in Spanish, but we believe that it is a very important book for Americans to read, especially chapter three, as it references electoral voting systems and the fraud we are experiencing in United States elections.

Chavistas in the Empire was published on March 7, 2014

English Translation of Book Summary

Since coming to power in 1999, President Hugo Chรกvez has persistently employed threatening rhetoric against the United States, which was interpreted by some as a brave defiance and by others as a hollow mute.

On several occasions, taking advantage of all the scenarios available to him, Chรกvez attacked the capitalist system, calling it savage, and calling the American way of life a threat to civilization.

However, such words ended up reflecting the deep contradictions of his Bolivarian revolution.

A lot of evidence remained in public view to show the ideological inconsistencies of the Chavistas in the face of the so-called โ€œNorth American imperialismโ€, which was summarized in the popular phrase โ€œthey criticize the empire, but how they love the empireโ€.

Since the early 2000s, it was my personal responsibility to investigate and compile much of this evidence, which basically revealed scandalous double-standard behavior.

From the first flights in private planes to Disney World of Chavista generals who began to develop joint projects with Cuba in 2000, to the aspirations of the sons of the Bolivarian revolution and the so-called Boligarcas or Boliburgueses to promote businesses, acquire properties and establish pacts secrets on US soil and with the federal government in Washington. the contradictions of the upper chavismo defied the imagination. This is a detailed and surprising chronicle of the secret, scandalous and unpublished ties of the Chavistas in the North American Empire.

โ€œCasto Ocando has written Chavistas en el Imperio in which, among other essential issues, he addresses extraordinarily well the issue of corruption in Venezuela and the connection of some high-ranking military personnel to this nauseating crime. After reading the work, the result of a long journalistic investigation, the conclusion cannot be hidden: that unfortunate country is about to be transformed into a mafia-state. More than a government, there commands a gang dedicated to crime. That is very serious. Hopefully the dissemination of this book will help correct the fatal course that Venezuela has taken โ€.

Book Summary in Original Spanish

Chavistas en el Imperio: Secretos, Tรกcticas y Escรกndalos de la Revoluciรณn Bolivariana en Estados Unidos

Desde su llegada al poder en 1999, el presidente Hugo Chรกvez empleรณ de manera persistente una retรณrica amenazante contra Estados Unidos, que fue interpretada por algunos como un valiente desafรญo, y por otros como una sordina hueca.

En diversas ocasiones, aprovechando todos los escenarios a su alcance, Chรกvez atacรณ el sistema capitalista tildรกndolo de salvaje, y calificando el estilo de vida norteamericano como una amenaza a la civilizaciรณn.

Sin embargo, tales palabras terminaron reflejando las profundas contradicciones de su revoluciรณn bolivariana.

A la vista pรบblica quedaron muchas evidencias para mostrar las inconsistencias ideolรณgicas de los chavistas frente al llamado โ€œimperialismo norteamericanoโ€, que se resumรญa en la popular frase de โ€œcritican al imperio, pero cรณmo les encanta el imperioโ€.

Desde el principio de la dรฉcada del 2000 me tocรณ personalmente investigar y recopilar muchas de estas evidencias, que revelaban bรกsicamente una escandalosa conducta de doble rasero.

Desde los primeros vuelos en aviones privados a Disney World de generales chavistas que comenzaban a desarrollar proyectos conjuntos con Cuba en el 2000, hasta las aspiraciones del hijos de la revoluciรณn bolivariana y de los llamados Boligarcas o Boliburgueses para promover negocios, adquirir propiedades y establecer pactos secretos en territorio norteamericano y con el gobierno federal en Washington. las contradicciones del alto chavismo desafiaron la imaginaciรณn. Esta es una crรณnica detallada y sorprendente de los lazos secretos, escandalosos e inรฉditos de los chavistas en el Imperio norteamericano.

“Casto Ocando ha escrito un libro en el que, entre otros asuntos esenciales, aborda extraordinariamente bien el tema de la corrupciรณn en Venezuela y la vinculaciรณn de algunos militares de alta graduaciรณn a este nauseabundo delito. Tras leer la obra, fruto de una larga investigaciรณn periodรญstica, la conclusiรณn es inocultable: ese desdichado paรญs estรก a punto de transformarse en un mafia-estado. Mรกs que un gobierno, ahรญ manda una banda dedicada al delito. Eso es muy grave. Ojalรก que la difusiรณn de este libro contribuya a corregir el curso fatal que ha tomado Venezuela”. Carlos Alberto Montaner.
