Currently
the Venezuelan citizens have the right, the duty and the responsibility
to rethink all what has happened during the country’s
democratic life, particularly since the year 1998. This will
allow them to visualize up in which extent it is possible to
struggle democratically for a new National Electoral Council
(CNE) and a new electoral system. To reach this purpose, the
Venezuelans have to pass the thousands of events, lived during
these years, over the prism of a document denominated “The
Protocols of the Sages of Zion”. These “Protocols”
are not known by most of the Venezuelans but they have had a
significant global historical impact during the World Wars and
the conformation of totalitarian regimes.
Those
“Protocols”, as their name indicates, conform a
kind of a manual of procedures dedicated to direct “The
Process” of containing the masses of a nation with the
ulterior objective of achieving the world dominance. Those “Protocols”
as well as “The Process” would be controlled by
some “Sages” (Intellectuals or “Enlightened”),
not known by the citizens, that would meet in a specific location.
The concepts that are exposed in this document were, during
many years, considered as inaccessible to the public and zealously
preserved by secret organizations.
Before continuing with this subject, it is important to highlight
that this document is extremely sensitive due to its potential
and unknown implications. However, being a fact that currently
this information is accessible to the public (1) it is convenient
a clarification from the author of this article about the two
versions of the origins of these “Protocols” is
in order.
The appearance of those “Protocols of the Sages of Zion”
is extremely obscure and confused. On one hand, Zion is the
name of a fortress located on a hill of the southeast side of
Jerusalem. On the other hand, there are experts that point out
that this document was published around the year 1892, during
the Russian absolutist reign of the Czar Alexander III.
Some people say that the czarist police were those who published
“The Protocols” because they wanted to inculpate
a group of Jewish freemasons. Others say that the ones who published
this document were the latter, in the occasion of their First
Zionist Congress carried out in Basle, Switzerland.
Whichever has been the author and those who, later on, used
this document, considered these “Protocols” as inaccessible
to the public and they trusted them to secret organizations
that preserved them zealously to guarantee the success of “The
Process.”
Due to confusion and the complexity around the origin and the
causes of the publication of “The Protocols”, the
author of this article won't include this topic as a subject
of the present document. The international precaution is such
that, even nowadays, this book is forbidden in countries such
as Israel, Germany and France. The reader might be able to analyze
numerous additional publications about this subject (2).
However, it is a fact that this document exists and that it
has constituted a “Road Map” for those world organizations
that have wanted and still want to dominate the masses of any
country as well as those of the entire world. These concepts,
together with the events that are flowing toward Venezuelans,
coming from Jerusalem as well from the Middle East and from
other countries, lead some people to think that Venezuela might
become “The New Jerusalem” of the Apocalypse’s
biblical prophecy.
This article will focus on the current Venezuelan process as
well as the global process related to it. For such purpose the
“Sages” will be denominated the “Enlightened”
who are a small core representing a minority of worldwide intellectuals
and politicians that are part of “The Process”.
These have strongly intervened in the handling of the threads
related to the global meetings such those of the: World Social
Forum, Social Forum of the Americas, People’s Congress,
Intellectuals Forums, Anti-Imperialistic Camps, etc. In Venezuela,
the intent of control of the World Social Forum 2006 by the
Bolivarian government has been notorious. For this reason and
what has been perceived as a gradual loss of independence of
these worldwide events is the reason why parallel groups have
been created, as happened recently in Caracas, with the Alternative
Social Forum, that met at the same time of the World Social
Forum, but in a different place. This penetration strategy is
observed in all the organizations, from the “macro”
(World Social Forum, Organization of American States –OAS-,
UNESCO, etc.) to the “micro” (Citizens’ Assemblies,
Neighbors’ Associations,…). This strategy is also
observed from a country to another. This is the case of Venezuelan
owned CITGO Petroleum Corporation, based in Houston, which is
used as the "long arm" for political purposes of the
Venezuelan regime to penetrate the USA. The same strategy is
used by the Venezuelan government in other countries as Ecuador,
Peru, El Salvador, Mexico and Puerto Rico where it approaches
local opposition movements that can further its cause
This “Core” of “Enlightened” takes advantage
of the diffusion of the anti-imperialistic speech, which has
historically always been welcome by the assistants, reaching
the target of achieving the union around a specific objective
that will allow the systematic penetration of preconceived ideas
in the minds of the participants. This methodology has been
used since the creation of the early empires in the antiquity
and has allowed the creation of a rehearsal globe that have
allowed to decant errors and successes, until attaining their
final objective, in a frame of time not precisely defined.
“The Process” allows to build the common base to
unite groups of FUNDAMENTALIST MINORITIES having such disparate
origins as the Venezuelan Tupamaros, the Hindu neo-communists,
African animists, Islamics (Shiite, Sunnis, Wahabis,…),
Afro-Americans freemasons, Bolivian natives, Basque and Canary
Island separatists, Chinese and Russian Neo-communists, European
dreamer leftists, Latin American “good revolutionaries”
(3), etc…
In the current modern world, the existence and invigoration
of Internet networks as well as the modern Technologies of Information
and Communication (TIC), have allowed the quick and easy exchange
of information among these groups as well as between the members
of the “Core” who are, now, not limited to a physical
place of the globe.
This is why it is of such vital importance, in the case of Venezuela,
to be able to pass the events lived by the Venezuelan citizens,
as well as some other Latin American and world events, over
the “prism” of these “Protocols”. This
will allow the visualization to which extent the current “red”
Venezuelan National Assembly would indeed allow changes dedicated
to the appointment of a new and balanced National Electoral
Council (CNE) as well to let the citizenship to have an electoral
system that permits clean and transparent elections.
Given the extensiveness of “The Protocols”, only
a panoramic vision of the latter will be given and a brief analysis
will be made about the matter related to the Electoral System
(Protocol X) which is one of the items included in what we will
denominate the “Political Block.”
GENERAL VISION OF THE “PROTOCOLS”
There are twenty-four “Protocols” (1) organized
in a same number of chapters. These chapters contain different
subjects and might sometimes seem not to have direct relationship
to each other. To facilitate their understanding from the reader’s
side, a simplification will be done without attempting to substitute
the detailed meaning of what is exposed in the original document.
Analogies will be made with regard to “The Process”
in Venezuela and Latin America. For that purpose we will divide
the document into the following five categories:
POLITICAL BLOCK
This block is conformed by eight protocols: I, IV, V, VIII,
X, XI, XVII and XXIV. This topic is placed in first place because,
as President Chavez has said, “the politics direct everything”.
The “Protocols” point out that it shall be a “King”,
who only depends on God. This is equivalent to a theocracy or
theological autocracy as it is in the indigenous Latin American
system (Inca, Mayan, Aztec, Ye'kuana-Venezuela-,…). The
religious “crowning” that was made of Evo Morales,
recently elected President of Bolivia, is a good modern example
of the reactivation of such a political system in Latin America.
In Venezuela, “The Process” has been working strongly
to the extent that currently Hugo Chavez Frias is recognized
as the top authority by many of the indigenous tribes which
represent only 3% of the total Venezuelan population. This explains
the importance given by the Venezuelan government to the programs
(“missions”) directed toward that population (Guaicaipuro
Mission,…).
This system also has resemblance to the Islamic Iranian Shiite
system (4) which includes a “Supreme Leader” (not
elected from the people) that depends from Allah, as well as
an elected President and the other elements of a government
system. It is important to mention that theocracy is a society
in which the political authority emanates from God, and is exerted
by its ministers. This concept is not only related to the Muslims
but also to the Hebrews before they started to have Kings. This
concept is also observed in many indigenous tribes located in
different continents.
All what surrounds the “Supreme Leader”, similar
to the Iranian case (see the graphic), can be considered, according
to those “Protocols”, as a hidden power that cannot
be dethroned.
Iranian
Political system - Source: BBC World - Spanish
Currently stand out the current Venezuelan President's approach
to the Iranian theocratic system as a continuation of the application
of the ideas coming from the anti-Semitic Argentinean Norberto
Ceresole (1943-2003) that, still today, continues to have great
influence in the Venezuelan government's Islamic strategy as
well as those of other neo-communist Latin American governments.
Going back to other concepts included in “The Protocols”,
the issues related to the National Assembly and the Universal
Electoral Process are mentioned, mainly in the Protocol X which
will be covered separately in another chapter. However, at this
point it is interesting to highlight that the system of universal
electoral process is described as a means to reach the power.
Once the masses have exerted their universal vote and the political
system rights, the society enters to a “mousetrap”
that closes behind it. When this happens, those “Protocols”
guarantee that “The Process” will keep the masses
dominated by the “Core” of “Enlightened”.
For that reason, the accusations about the current Venezuelan
electoral system are so important, especially, the implantation
of the recent recommendations of the international observers
and those of the SUMATE Venezuelan NGO (5).
The “Protocols” describe how to use the deceit of
the masses that do not belong to “The Process”,
how to manipulate them, generating disagreements and discussions
among the political parties, creating a new oligarchy, establishing
a new political system, giving a new definition of “freedom,
equality and fraternity”, achieving a new constitution
and new laws based on an autocracy dominated by a group of government
bureaucrats submitted to the system. Emphasis has to be made
about the necessity of “secret lodges”, similar
in operation to organizations known as “Bolivarian Circles”,
located in different cities locally and worldwide.
The subjugation of all the national powers, subject to a universal
“instance” is analogous to what happens today in
Venezuela. Indeed, in this country it is simple to observe the
submission of the five different typical Powers of a democratic
system (Executive, Legislative, Judicial, Citizen – General
Prosecutor, General Controllership and People’s Defender-
and Electoral) under a Central Power whose project seeks to
be “universal.”
IDEOLOGICAL BLOCK
The ideological topic is conformed by four protocols: IV, IX,
XII and XVI.
This block is about the required changes to the education, indoctrination,
interpretation of laws, control of the communications media,
necessity of corrupting the opposition representatives and the
creation of a single universal religion.
Examples in the Venezuelan case: Law of Social Responsibility
of the media (“Gag Law”) and the recent judicial
process activated by the General Prosecutor, through the National
Telecommunications Counsel, whose final objective is perceived
to be the start of a wider legal process to continue the limitation
of freedom of speech. Also, there is all what is related to
changes in the education laws as well as the sending of Venezuelan
youths to Cuba for their indoctrination,… The government
programs (missions) related with the ideological block are:
Ribas Mission, Robinson I and II Missions, Sucre Mission, Culture
Mission,… Also are essential for this block, the ideas
coming from Simon Bolivar, Simon Rodriguez and Zamora (“the
Three Roots Tree” dating from the Venezuelan independence)
as well as the ideological influence from Antonio Gramsci, Norberto
Ceresole, Heinz Dieterich, Marta Harnercker, among others. Also
has to be mentioned about the “People’s Self-determination”
meaning and the redefinition of the concept of “People”
as currently and publicly has been declared by the Guatemalan
indigenous native, Rigoberta Menchu, Peace Nobel Prize. An active
presence and growth of secret organizations of the Masonic type
is also perceived.
The
religion is a fundamental topic because this is the “non
rational” side of the human being like all what is related
to the faith. This is why the Venezuelan regime anticipates
the approval a new Law of Cults as a shield. Meanwhile, in the
field they are promoting a religious division, not only among
the traditional majority of the Apostolic and Roman Catholic
parishioners, but also among other faiths of great importance
in the country. It has been public and notorious the presence
in the country of Babalaos and satanic sects. Additionally,
the Venezuelan régime has publicly supported fundamentalists
of different religious tendencies, as the catholic “Theology
of Liberation”, the creation of new religions or new Non
Government Organizations dedicated to citizens’ spiritual
and self-esteem improvement and the promotion of development
of new tendencies in Venezuela like the Iranian Shiite religion.
Other actions have also been observed like the expulsion of
the “New Tribes” evangelical organization and the
withdrawal of the foreign Mormon missionaries. The Venezuelan
government does not hesitate to include, among members of “The
Process”, people self-proclaimed as “Ministers of
God” like the case of Misael Martinez, also well-known
as the “Hermano Coco” (Brother Cocó). Other
actions that stand out are those of the invigoration and the
development of indigenous religions such as that of the ethnos
Makiritare (Ye'kuana), located in what they believe to be the
“Navel of the World”, or the mount Marawaka, in
the upper-middle Orinoco River, High Orinoco Municipality, Amazon
State.
Other means of "The Process" are the migratory flows,
currently happening worldwide, as we could appreciate during
the events that recently took place in France. Currently, the
Venezuelan government, through physical, emotional and other
kind of threats, indirectly forces the opposition members of
the current society to emigrate or to work expatriates in other
countries, as is the case of thousands of "oil workers
in the resistance", while importing foreign manpower, preferably
of a culture very different to the local one, by means of the
signature of contracts for services. There is no need to say
that many of them are already included in the Venezuelan electoral
registry.
The objective is to cause the previous paradigms to implode
at the same time that a new one is created. Once the population
gets used to the new paradigm, the human mind will see everything
as “extremely normal”. Indeed, at that moment, the
benchmarks would have changed totally and deviations will no
longer be observed. International statistics are manipulated
in such a way as to not let the international community to see
what is going on in the country.
Another important issue is about what the government has declared
openly in several occasions: “This is a cultural revolution”.
The promotion of the creation of alternative communication media,
dedicated to support this cultural change, to reach the construction
of the targeted new paradigm, is evident.
AUTHORITY BLOCK
The
processes related to the Authority block is integrated by two
protocols: VII and XVIII
Related to the authority block, those “Protocols”
include events to create discords and divisions, like the weaponry
process, police control, maintaining secrecy, jails and political
prisoners.
Examples in the Venezuelan case: Law of National Police, regional
police destruction and control, persecutions and exile of individuals
opposed to the régime, judicial process directed to the
electoral NGO SUMATE, imprisonment and current judicial processes
to such political opponents as the General Usón (Armed
Forces) or Carlos Ortega (most important independent Labor Union
Confederation –CTV-), emergence of paid opponents and
those dominated by “The Process”, promotion of divisions
among the opponents,…
As it is observed from the governmental missions “Identity”
and “Miranda” (armed forces reserve), and by the
use of the on-line databases of the government institutions,
the goal is to have a technological base of information (Databases
Maisanta and SENIAT -taxes; equivalent to US IRS-, device to
capture fingerprints, etc.) that allows to control each individual
separately who also can be controlled by military regulations
(new law of the Armed Forces). The target is to control the
dissidence.
SOCIAL
BLOCK
This block has three protocols: III, XIII and XIX.
This
subject covers how to manage protests and mutinies, a new interpretation
of the People’s rights, about popular schools, secret
agents, a necessary civil army, the need to get the People submitted
by means of food shortage, control of the “People’s
Houses” and even amusements,…
Examples
of the Venezuelan case: Mercal Mission (nationwide food distribution
and storage, include “Minimercalitos” or small shops),
CASA (food acquisition and distribution), Popular eating houses,
Habitat Mission (homes), Barrio Adentro Mission (popular health),
Guaicaipuro Mission (indigenous people), Committees for popular
social action, educational programs (Bolivarian Schools, Robinson
Mission, Sucre Mission,…), creation of the military reserve,
international and local juvenile festivals, musical events,
Negra Hipolita Mission (extreme poverty) ,… a group recently
created denominated “Chavista Thought”. One of the
characteristics of each of these programs is the extensive use
of political commissaries because this “Process”
shall not have a separation between the political and other
issues. The penetration of members of “The Process”
can also be attained through the acquisition of new homes, registering
in private educational institutes, getting jobs, etc.
The
government needs to dominate the workers, through a continuous
struggle to create unions that are unconditionally submitted
to the régime and to destroy the current labor unions
that are still currently controlled by the opposition.
The idea is to make the workers completely dependent of the
State. To this classification also matches the action of a progressive
destruction of dissident organizations that ensure popular participation
and the creation of an “apartheid” that excludes
all of those that are opposed to the regime. A “major
apartheid” has been structured according to those who,
in the past electoral processes, signed against the President,
because of the lack of secrecy of the vote and by the means
of databases like the very well known “Tascon List”
(Tascon was a government deputy) and then, the publication of
an improved technological tool as is the “Maisanta List”
that can be bought even in non formal shops like those located
downtown Caracas. This list has been used for multiple purposes,
including impeding access to PDVSA libraries to students who
signed against the President. Also worth mentioning due to its
magnitude the “apartheid” against the former oil
workers (Gente del Petroleo) that, still today, is a 25 thousand
people group that continues to be excluded from the Venezuelan
society, at the beginning, only by the government organizations
but, after a while, and due to the latter, also by the opposition
sector. Despite the fact that international organizations like
the International Labor Organization –ILO-(6) have reached
some agreements, it has not been possible to solve this case
because the current regime has disrespected those accords, not
recognizing international instances. Even if it was the government
that declared publicly and openly that the worker’s firing
was part of “The Process”. Indeed, “The Process”
could only been successful since the moment the government executed
its “Plan Colina” – Hill Plan- (7) to achieve
the essential control of the oil industry.
ECONOMY BLOCK
This block about economy is conformed by seven protocols:
II, VI, XV, XX, XXI, XXII and XXIII 
These “Protocols” make reference to the “gold
pattern” as the main instrument for world domination at
that time. They also deal with the making of an economic war,
how to manipulate the basic needs articles, development of domestic
industry, collectivism, alcoholism, prices control, state debt,
loans of the State, taxes, sanctions, suppression of the appeal
right,…
In the case of Venezuela, as was mentioned in the previous block,
it was essential the control of the “Black Gold”,
or petroleum, because that, together with the help of the OPEC,
allowed to use it as a worldwide geopolitical weapon. Other
examples are: lists of basic articles controlled by the state,
Vuelvan Caras Mission (employment creation), Zamora Mission
(land distribution and control), Piar Mission (mines), cooperatives,
social production companies, joint management, loans from the
public and private banks at subsidized interest rates, exchange
rate used as a political instrument, costs increase due to new
social laws, improvement of the tax collection network (SENIAT),
control of the judicial power, use of the drug traffic and of
the “laissez faire” to the global terrorism as a
local and worldwide political weapon,…Regarding cooperatives
it is interesting to visualize the community component of an
endogenous development as the Fabricio Ojeda in Catia (north
eastern Caracas) that combine concepts of the famous former
Soviet Union “koljoses” and “sovjoses”
with those of Israelian socialist production units like the
current Kibbutz Amir (8), which has openly supported Fidel Castro.
The creation of a new oligarchy, controlled by the State, is
a crucial factor which has been achieved through granting countless
of State contracts without due competition or consideration
of other sources to “The Process” members. This
can be done thanks to huge oil revenues consequence of the worldwide
crude oil price increase. Another important factor is the signature
of agreements with other countries that are in line with “the
process”, using the petroleum as a geopolitical instrument.
In Venezuela we can highlight the agreements “South-South”
with Iran, Cuba, China, India, Russia,… as well as a strong
opposition to the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) which
weakened due to the recent events of the Mar del Plata, Argentina.
In this same direction point the recent Venezuelan approach
to the Organization of African States and the announcement of
the preparation of this country’s adhesion to the Arab
League.
The description of this “Economy Block” concludes
the description of the “Protocols”. The next step
will be to deepen about the Electoral System which is the most
critical process that Venezuela has currently. However, this
process, depends on decisions of the “red” National
Assembly. Due to this, we will explore the electoral system
through the prism of the mentioned “Protocols.”
NATIONAL
ASSEMBLY, CNE and ELECTORAL SYSTEM
Due
to the extent of the “Protocol X”, only outstanding
topics will be analyzed, visible to the public opinion thanks
to the communications media (despite the “Gag Law”).
This protocol points out the importance of maintaining the democratic
appearances in politics, while ensuring an autocratic process.
For the democratic disguise it is fundamental to ensure the
existence of political parties, opposition organizations, opposition
representatives formed by “The Process” and the
discussion of liberal ideas. In addition to having an autocracy,
it is required to have a legislative force controlled by the
members of “The Process”.
If we extract and adapt only the most outstanding aspects of
the National Assembly, the Electoral Counsel (CNE) and the electoral
system, it results as follows:
The electoral strategy is designed in such a way that, at the
start, it makes sure to have the population's support in everything
related to the accusations for all the things that went wrong
in the previous governments. The crucial moment will be the
use of the universal vote system to REACH to the power since
that guarantees that the majority will always be superior to
the few that represented the old rulers. For that purpose, during
such initial period, gatherings and assemblies will be guaranteed
and the People will be invited. The universal vote system will
guarantee the “despotism of the majority” that will
face successfully and will defeat the vote of “intelligent
classes”. The masses with no more ideology than the one
of “The Process” will be important. Obedience and
attention will be paid until the People become a blind force
unable to move without the orientations of “The Process”
new bosses who will be rewarded.
Elimination of institutions is a must. This is achieved the
introduction of liberalism which is in an inexhaustible source
of discords, misunderstandings, discussions, disagreements,…
This guarantees the tunnel dug under the previous system.
The ideal is to have a “President-Slave”, because
the conflicts are not important, being these part of “The
Process”, to unbalance completely the country. The “collaborators”
will be chosen among those who have the worse past, to be able
to control and discard them, when “The Process”
does not need them anymore. The President will be entitled to
declare war according to the new Constitution.
The President will interpret the laws according to the wishes
of the “Enlightened” and will be able to propose
changes of laws and also the Constitution under the pretext
of the Supreme Wellness of the State. This would allow the suppression
of all the Constitution when the occasion arrives and the moment
of grouping all the governments under the autocracy of the “Core”
of the “Enlightened.”
Quoting textually the “Protocol X”, Item 19, we
find the following “19. But you yourselves perfectly know
that to produce the possibility of the expression of such wishes
by all the nations it is indispensable to trouble in all countries
the people’s relations with their governments so as to
utterly exhaust humanity with dissension, hatred, struggle,
envy and even by the use of torture, by starvation, by the inoculation
of diseases, by want, so that the “Goyim” [Christian]
see no other issue than to take refuge in our complete sovereignty
in money and in all else”
CONCLUSION
Thanks to the Venezuelan media (public, private and particular,
as Internet), and in spite of their current limitations, the
citizens can observe that “The Process” considers
all the steps included in the “Protocols” described
in this article. “The Process” in Venezuela can
also describe itself as two concentric circles having the following
flows: (a) “Universe to Inside” and (b) “Frontier
to Inside”. In both cases international and national events
will be accelerated. The latter will come from the “Endogenous
Developments” that are intended to dominate the neuralgic
centers, considered as “colonial”, such as the cities,
especially the capital, Caracas. The objective is similar to
what was achieved in Cuba, being the defeat of the capital,
Havana, by the rural Cuba. What happened recently with the fracture
of the Viaduct No.01 that caused the discontinuation of the
use of the freeway that connect Caracas and its main port of
La Guaira, as well as the emergency state in the whole national
infrastructure, will favor this objective.
Being “The Process” a fast cultural change, it is
observed that the only way to fight against it is with what
we know in Venezuela as “a nail removes another nail”.
In order to do that, the civil society should quickly redefine
their desires in the following areas Spiritual, Ethical, Social,
Political and Economic, as well as achieve, on a fast-track
basis, the development of its social capital. The existence
of a “Primary Country Consent” will be indispensable,
broadly debated by the bases and perceived by the masses as
the viable democratic alternative. Also to be contemplated is
the implementation of concepts about the moral responsibility
of the capitalist enterprise (9). All the above-mentioned will
require taking advantage of the existing national and international
experiences, in the different mentioned areas.
Related
to the Electoral System, based on what was previously exposed,
the civil society and its NATURAL leaders will be able to understand
that while the National Assembly represents a minority of the
electorate and “The Process” continue to be used
to dominate the rest of the population, this Assembly will not
have the will to change neither the electoral system nor the
National Electoral Council (CNE) because they currently assure
them their permanency in the power. The fact is that a while
ago, the “revolution” reached a “non turning
point” because there are too many interests in stake,
nationally and internationally. For that reason, it will not
be possible that, in such an advanced stage, “The Process”
will allow the People to leave this totalitarian regime, using
the conventional democratic methods. It will be needed, from
one side, that the new opposition leaders shall have a worldwide
geopolitical vision and that they use methods according to that.
By the other hand, the civil society also will require of non
traditional fighting methods that will imply the necessity of
an immense creativity and willingness coming from each citizen’s
side. Finally, an indispensable unity will be required for the
collective execution of actions, directed toward the achievement
of common and specific objectives.
