OAS/OEA opaque obloquy...

---

Well it's not opaque really, it is clear as crystal: the OAS is corrupt, emasculated, inept and as about as much use as a chocolate teapot; in fact not even that because at least you could eat the teapot. "La OEA silencia a la oposición venezolana" [La Nacion, Spanish] , "Permanent Council of the OAS silences Venezuelan opposition" [El Pais, English]. "We do it for transparency" said the sinister fuckwit Venezuelan representative Roy Chaderton {facepalm}; you may remember him calling other delegates mentally ill. Argentine ambassador Nilda Garre said "There is need for us to discuss this"; her being Kristina's bitch you'd expect nothing else. Brazilian ambassador Breno Dias da Costa missed his own irony by "We don't need to allow the OAS to become a circus", oops too late Breno, you just did.



Another point, albeit moot: is it 'fair' that Antigua and Barbuda (pop. 82,000) has the same vote equivalence as Mexico? Or that Saint Nevis and St. Kitts (pop. 52,000) has the same vote as the USA or Colombia or Canada?

Obscurantist obloquy...

“Si un hombre fuese necesario para sostener el Estado, ese Estado no debería existir; y al fin no existiría.” Simón Bolívar ("If a man was necessary to sustain the State, that State should not exist, and in the end would not exist). With these words Panamanian ambassador Guillermo Cochez ended his speeech [pdf] to the Organization of American States (about which he said was "a dead tree on the plain: that does not collapse, but it has no life.": edited 5pm!); he had stunned the diplomatic world with...the truth. Deemed (scroll down for story) a 'polemic against the government of Venezuela and the OAS itself over the delicate subject of Hugo Chávez's health' it was a perfectly legitimate attack on the Bolivarian Republic's lack of provision of information on Krusty's health status, quite rightly pointing out that this sows doubt and feeds rumors which "can not and should not be the practice of democracies or democratic people.". Venezuelan arse-hole Roy Chaderton then called Cochez and his words 'ghastly morbidity', 'perverse beyond bad', that Cochez was mentally ill, full of human misery and that he was "neither a politician, nor a diplomat, nor a gentleman, you are a lout." Cochez responded - again truthfully - that those with no adequate argument always resort to insults (a common lefty trait I must say). For this, Cochez gets sacked [ESP] [ENG], and Chaderton is congratulated for telling the truth with dignity and intelligence! Bizarre, unbelievable. Again, a big hat-tip to Daniel.



Update 5pm: and the official oddity of the signature is now shown to be clearly fake.
