Interpol Spain criminal arrested in Venezuela

Interpol Spain criminal arrested in Venezuela
Friday, 04 April 2014 12:01

One of the top ten most wanted by Interpol in Spain has been arrested according to National Bolivarian Police (PNB) state coordinator, Yolmar Garcia.

Venezuelan Gabriel Reyes, 24, was detained in Avenue Carabobo, San Cristobal, Venezuela, when police were attempting to move crowds along and limit disturbances.

Reyes has been charged with drug smuggling, criminal association, closing roads and civil disorder.

Miguel Rodriguez, Internal Affairs Minister, said the arrest of Reyes “reveals the relationship between drug smuggling, and other organised crime with the violent protests”.

1. The protests are made up of some interesting people - the wealthy and criminals sought by Interpol.

It'd be nice if some proof could be provided to the public showing his cooperation with protesters (if there is any)

Just FYI, my home country is Venezuela, and nobody can tell me otherwise, much less someone like you who barely even knows me. You're showing a real degree of disrespect that shouldn't even warrant me responding back to. I am only doing my studies in the US due to the fact that my home country has basically become too dangerous to live in, especially for a student. And I do pay close attention to what's happening in my home country through news sources and actual people on the scene, something that you have perfectly demonstrated you don't have. I sure as hell don't have to follow any recommendations from you, especially considering your situation. You've never in your life stepped foot on Venezuelan soil, and the only interaction you have with Venezuelans are only some extremists you met in Miami. I on the other hand spent most of my life and grew up in Caracas, and I still revisit the country from time to time (though considering how things are right now, I'll probably not be revisiting it for a while), and I have friends and even my immediate family still living there, who experience the day-to-day living back home and can tell me from first-hand experience all the shit that is happening down there. Not only that, I also use spanish-language news sources, especially ones based in Venezuela, to be more up to date than any other reader in this forum, aside of course from friends and family who I can personally talk to regarding the events that occur. So considering all this, I kindly suggest you stop disrespecting me and shut your mouth whenever it comes to you telling what I should do regarding my own damn home country.

And also, at least I and others in this forum have had the decency of providing video and photo evidence of the unjustified repression being carried out by the venezuelan government as well as all the other things happening in the country which show just how badly things are going, and all you seem to be capable of doing is repeat the same old BS that Maduro and co. have been using as an excuse for the country's problems for years now. The government has control pretty much of all the airwaves, the national production, security, and so on for more than 15 years now (at an ever increasing level, I might add) and things only keep getting worse. People are now being forced to do lines that last hours and get tagged to limit the amount of food they can purchase simply because a lot of products have become scarce. This kind of shit wasn't happening some years ago, especially before Chávez showed up, why the hell is it happening now? And all you and the other Maduristas in this forum seem capable of doing is spew the same bullcrap over and over again that the government has been using for years now to excuse their incompetency without ever providing any solid evidence to back your claims. If this were a proper debate on a moderated floor, you and the rest of the useful idiots would've lost the discussion a long time ago, but since this is the internet, it would take some really foul potty mouthing (like that troll delrem has already done twice) to get banned from speaking here.

education, or are being paid to be a stooge, you need to be very ashamed of yourself for promoting lie after lie after lie about the protestors, and displaying them as if they were ordinary people, and the elected government an unelected one. I don't know what your true motives are, but good, they are most assuredly not. And don't bother trying to "explain." I doubt you will ever tell the truth as to why you're making stuff up.

8. Wow... Calling me a liar when there's plenty of proof that backs my claims up?
Sat Apr 5, 2014, 07:03 PM
Apr 2014

You've got some nerve. And what do YOU have to back up your claims? Articles from propaganda sites? Please tell me right now which specific things I've talked about that you think are lies. I'd very much like to see why you think they are BS. If you can't manage to do that, or at least provide some photo or video evidence that refutes the proof that I have provided in my other posts in other threads, then simply shut your mouth, because then it would be confirmed that you yourself are nothing more than another propagandist. If you want, I'd actually be willing to personally introduce myself to you via social media so we can actually talk things face-to-face on a video chat just so that we can remove all the safety nets from internet anonymity. You're a real piece of work, ya know that? Dragging down a discussion to ad hominem attacks when you barely even know your opponent. It's sad, really. You and the rest of the Madurista lot in this forum are really poor at debate. I'd love to see you guys argue against another group on a moderated floor some day with a full audience to see you.

10. No, I mean actual news sources based on Venezuela

And amateur video footage recorded by civilians with their cameras which show the reality of things as they are, no sneaky editing, no music track added, no manipulation. Here are some of the news sources you can use:

http://www.notitarde.com/

http://www.lapatilla.com/site/

http://www.ultimasnoticias.com.ve/

http://www.noticierodigital.com/

http://nuevaprensa.com.ve/

Some other non-Venezuelan sites which are hardly US apologists or paid by rich right-wingers:

And some of the video footage I told you about



"Identifican al oficialista Kevin Ávila en compañia de grupos armados en la UCV"



Article of Kevin Avila recognizing and attempting to justify the presence of these armed colectivos during this incident:
http://www.venezuelaaldia.com/2014/04/kevin-avila-justifica-colectivo-armado-dentro-de-la-ucv-fotos/







I also follow a ton of Venezuela Twitter users who constantly post about any incidents happening as they happen, and like I said, I have friends and family actually living there to tell me in detail all the shit they go through. Some have already sent me some photos they themselves have taken.

Are you done now? Or do I continue mopping the floor with you?

view of the protests, you were all thrilled and happy about, but whatever opposed the view of the rich and reported the real story, pissed you off. So at least I know you're all with the rich, and that that's your favorite side.

I'm off to the movies. If you want to prove to me that no, you're not *really* in favor of the mega-rich and the CIA, but merely are one confused dude, please go ahead and prove it to me.

Right now, that's exactly what I believe. That you're with the rich, the CIA, and in favor of anything that will keep the poor down and servile, with no power, and the few rich in control of everything, with the blessing of the CIA and the multinational corporations.

Ciao.

12. The only "claim" that you promote is that you're all fired up for a coup
Sat Apr 5, 2014, 11:35 PM
Apr 2014

to end the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela, and reinstate the fascist right.

Do you talk about universal healthcare in Venezuela? Nope (were you the lovely number who explained that Venezuela's population of Cuban Doctors, Dentists, and general health workers, were "Cuban slaves"? Or was that one of your ditto-head right-wing friends here?)
Do you talk about why Chavez saw a need for native Venezuelan distribution of basic foodstuffs, at profit margins that benefited the farmers and producers and cut out the middle-man, for the benefit of all (except for the blood-sucking capitalists)? Or, instead, were you part of the pack inventing stories about "rationing" and "dictatorship" when recently the Venezuelan gov't decided to further regulate *that* particular market (the gov't program!), to ensure fairness - and to ensure the very existence of the market by making it more difficult for the very rich to buy up *that* entire market, then re-sell at exhorbitant rates to people who now had nowhere to go? Well, *of course* we know how you've misrepresented that. And do you talk about any other such issue, as an issue and with an intent to analysing the true situation in an attempt to draw up improved plans? As it would be if you truly cared? Nay. You don't. You're TOTALLY against any such "socialist" talk, and you replace substantive discussion with a ready made right-wing slime job, pouring hate and photos of blood, with an intent to further promote yet another crazy-right military overthrow.

Other than that what do you have? Links to extreme right-wing sites loaded with the most extremely volatile photographs and etc. that can be found, aimed to incite violence and eliminate rational thought, and to reify that state of violence as foundation for a coup.

That's it. That's the whole of the message I get from you. That is, except for the personal message, that I seem to've pissed you off enough so you post shitty little slurs at "delrem" in random threads in which I'm not engaged.

Your power of expression is exceptional. Eviable.

Our own tax dollars are being poured into the crap they brandishing in their attempt to mislead others into supporting the overthrow of a democratically elected President.

It's downright evil when the money people earned through hard work is taken and used to disrespect their right to know the truth. They are ugly people.
