To Hugo Chavez Twitter is “Terrorism”

with 2 comments

Modern day technology intimidates old school dictator Hugo Chavez of  Venezuela. So what is a desperate crazy thug to do? Why tape a propaganda video warning of terrorism tools such as Twitter of course.  Iran is a fine example of protesting students using the internet to plan strategy and communicate with each other. Following their lead, Venezuelan students are mobilizing using Twitter and other tools at their disposal.

Chavez is not amused.

The Devil’s Excrement

For a man intent into taking Venezuelan into the Dark Ages, it was a remarkable admission that modernity can be a threat to Hugo Chavez and his fake revolution. As students used the Internet and its tools like Twitter as well as other modern tools like SMS messaging to mobilize and communicate strategy instantly, Hugo Chavez made his second attack on the Internet in a single week, calling the rumors and use of this technology “terrorism”:

A week ago Chavez had said that his supporters had to watch out for the Internet and tonight he came on TV wearing a suit, rather than his usual red garb and began reading messages (which were too long to be from Twitter), calling it terrorism (right at the end, minute 3:50 or so)

……

But in the end, besides feeling the threat from a weapon Chavez does not control or understand totally, maybe his key problem is that he could never make adequate use of it. For a man accustomed to uninterrupted speeches of six to eight hours, it must be simply impossible to even consider the possibility of communicating anything in 140 characters. Read the rest >>>

“Whatever policy,” said Chavez opposition. “If I’m in the polls as bad as you say, metan a recall and three or four months took me out.”

Chavez has also talked about the whispering campaign and has called “terrorism.”

“This is terrorism, using Twitter, the Internet, text messaging, has accused the President.

He dismissed the assertions that the resignation of Vice Carrizalez due to the appointment of a Cuban military advisers. The President has read even a message sent over the Internet.

“I ask the country to ignore the rumors ….  not get carried away by the insanity that comes out of labs, “stated the President.

Rise up and take the power back, it’s time that
The progressives get bitch slapped, you know that
Their time is coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Note: I switched out the line, “The fat cats had a heart attack, ” with “The progressives get bitch slapped” As in all progressives including the ones on the ‘right’.
