Interesting item to share in this forum.

Was just starting to look through this Wikileaks which came up in a search I was involved in, and this stunning bit of info. leaped out. Using this situation as a possible practice, rather than an exception in Venezuela, you may want to start re-thinking previous information tendered in our own corporate media regarding "homicides" in Venezuela!

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

deaths, such as traffic accidents. However, each of the cases mentioned in
the report refers to a homicide. ....

1. The VE government stopped publishing homicide rates about 10 years ago.

The weekly "x bodies received in the Bello Monte morgue" articles in sources like El Universal (and reports by NGO's) have been the only indication of the murder rate since then.
