SILENCING THE OPPOSITION VENEZUELA STYLE!

 

MURDERED JOURNALIST WILFREDO OJEDA

VENEZUELAN COMMUNIST DICTATOR HUGO CHAVEZ

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan police found the murdered body of a newspaper columnist and opposition political activist dumped on wasteland, prosecutors said on Wednesday.

Wilfredo Ojeda, 56, wrote a column for the El Clarin newspaper in the town of La Victoria and was a long-time activist for the Democratic Action political party that opposes President Hugo Chavez.

Venezuelan communist dictator Hugo Chavez has been criticized for creating a highly polarized media climate in Venezuela and for pressuring opposition media to be more balanced.  But while harassment by the police is common, serious violence against journalists and politicians is rarer than in neighboring Colombia or in Mexico.

As in those countries, violence against journalists has in the past been linked to drug traffickers. Venezuela's top suspected cocaine kingpin, Walid Makled, is awaiting trial, charged with the murder of a reporter.  Communist leader Chavez is most likely using Makled as a stooge to divert the suspicion away from himself.

It is most likely that the communist secret police killed Wilfredo Ojeda on orders from Hugo Chavez to intimidate and silence the opposition press.  After all, that's how they do it in communist countries.  Study Cuba, Zimbabwe, Soviet Union, China, North Korea, etc and you will see the same pattern over and over again.

Wilfredo Ojeda had a hood placed over his head, was beaten and showed signs of torture, prosecutors said. He was killed by single a bullet to the head ala communist tradition.
