Some roots of Chavez corruption

From Paez to the present, corruption is a terrible evil against which could not effectively fight the best intentions, which have occurred, as well as examples of characters whose unquestionable honesty did not caught at school or who had a duty to put -legislative and judicially-sufficient barriers and / or the most draconian of the hyper for such indignity does not reach the heights grandstanding now living under the rapacity Chavez (institutional submission, coercion media, accumulation of banks, companies, palaces, farms , pocketed). The ultimate form of shame correctly detected by modern psychology "does not exist between these true horsemen of the apocalypse who are reborn virulently nailing his increasingly sharp spurs on the innocence of the community.
The long aftermath of military life thieves who ruled Venezuela for over 125 years did create school, newly-crowned after the brief interlude between 1945 and 1948 - with a decade of looting of Perez Jimenez ended in 1958. And after 40 years of democracy that brought us to 1998, where the sad evil tried to control at first and then fall, but never to compete with the 80% who actually invested in the extraordinary historical development never before experienced by the country and which has its most concrete evidence in the contemporary modernization of the country, today we are again involved in a festering scab of corruption starring a military clique that has no equivalent Chavez with none of the worst moments of the past. Chavez monumental failure that is approaching its end can not justify the fate of almost a trillion dollars that have passed through his hands.
These resources today for about 12 years, have succeeded in increasing corruption in a way that is unprecedented in our history, as they claimed a five-year ago the Commission for the Protection of Public Assets of the Democratic Coordinator "for each 100 bolívares stolen in the administrations of Carlos Andrés Pérez and Rafael Caldera, the amount of money in five years chavistas 4700% increased. By then galloped outrageous and scandalous cases like that of the FIEM (estimated at 4 trillion bolivars) and the oil agreement with Cuba (3 billion Bolivars), in addition to the Las Cristinas mining claims (1.9 billion), CHV-Edelca (2.1 billion), CVG-Venalum Single Social Fund, and others involved Caruachi tower billion gone in the ways of the prey Chavez, then shorts. This is what is exploding today.
But then they had already processed 152 cases in which Chavez had direct and personal responsibility at 32, but slept the sleep Machiavellian in the Office and the Comptroller, which seemed to follow the advice of the Venezuelan president, always so fine and popular-to-use on both sides of the paper leaves behind. Apart from that everything was hidden, in that by now there was an excess of "expenses" outrageous, no controls of any kind. The last straw came with the extravagant use of the dollars of PDVSA headquarters to break all previous records of corruption, promoting its leniency and the disappearance of justice, burying every trace of morality.
In an article by Domingo Alberto Rangel entitled "Entrepreneurs of Chavez" (El Mundo, March 18, 2004), states the following:
"A recent book, So Pay the Devil, Luis Pineda Castellanos, reveals almost childlike innocence and a barracks full of vulgar language, all of which evidence of their accuracy, the moral undertones of Chavez. It's a real book was not written by a Mujiquita for Pernalete of epaulet, as often happens here with that sort books. The casual style, the naivete of the story and the simplicity of the concepts in unison proclaim their membership of the author. Account book the chicanery that is typically done in the mental in moving the coup and the incredible lures and inconsistencies with Chavez for his friends and colleagues whom I knew since I saw him, so I did not see it and I hope not ever see. In the book of Pineda Castellanos talks about the old friendship which unites with Rafael Sarria Diosdado Cabello and another character of military origin, Mr. Hernandez Behrens, now Chairman of Cadivi. A perfect trilogy. Original or primitive accumulation in one of them commercial smell in the second and releasing financial resources in the past. The Fifth Republic does not know 'read' but you write, as the saying goes. The promoters of Chavez not know the laws of capital accumulation as Marx codified but apply without knowing it. "
