The Struggle For Power: Maduro vs. Capriles

The Struggle For Power: Maduro vs. Capriles

I recently had time to write about the world. Frankly, I did not care much that Chavez died. I say, " Good Riddance" to bad presidents. If you ask me, I think the ghost of Bolivar gave Chavez cancer. I knew the he was going to get cursed when I heard that he stole Bolivar's sword. Back when he was alive, Bolivar fought hard to cast off the chains of tyranny. Had Chavez known his own country's history well, he would have understood that Bolivar would not have wanted a leader like Chavez. As a matter of fact, he was betrayed by a man like Chavez.

Some years latter, the poor warhero's predictions came true. The Republic of Colombia broke down. Now, many years later, Chavez had the audacity to disturb Bolivar's sleep. Historically speaking, all who have disturbed tombs of important figures have been cursed. Such cases were noted often among the Archeologist who disturbed the remains of pharaoh mummies. Like such, when Chavez disturbed the remains of Bolivar he was cursed.

During those days, his witch doctors led Chavez to believe that Bolivar was on his side. His insanity went as far as to believe that he was Bolivar incarnate. Then again, when you analyze the phrase "on his side" there are two ways to read into such a fact. Having a dead guy on your side does not always mean that they are "on your side", From what I know of the occult, I early on knew that Chavez was cursed by the poltergeist of Bolivar. The cancer simply proved by suppositions.

What followed was to be expected. From what I studied, Chemotherapy is not pretty. It is a painful healing process. Being a Tyrant, Chavez was not used to following orders. From time to time, the outside doctors claimed that Chavez was not treating his cancer as seriously as he should. When it was too advanced, that was when he took his illness seriously. The rest of the story is history. Even in his deathbed, Chavez would not let go of the Power.

When he died his second in command, Maduro, promised his followers that he would mummify Chavez. I think that he was forced to break his promise because Chavez was already mummify. Before Chavez died, rumors about his death were commonplace. Plus, the way Maduro speaks of the dead, makes Chavez sound like a saint. It is my belief that in year or so, they will unearth Chavez's body. Chavez will be "miraculously" uncorrupted, like a regular saint. This will provide fuel of the myth that Chavez's was a good person.

Perhaps he was a good person, to his followers. I am sorry to say this to Capriles and the world, but Chavez still has a ridiculous amount of followers. Right now, the metamorphosis of Venezuela into Cuba is at its peak. Like Cuba ,before the downfall, there is food scarcity and blackouts. Heck, during one of Maduro's speeches the lights went out. If I remember correctly, he was saying something about what would happen if someone brought a gun into that place.

Interesting enough, these roaring blackouts and famines are fueling Capriles' campaign. Frankly, I doubt that he might defeat Maduro. As long as Maduro, has the support of the military, he will not get out of power anytime soon. Another point in his favor is his control over oil. Together with the arm forces and oil money, he is set for life. This does not mean that Capriles will never become president. Rather, I smell a civil war brewing between the supporters of Maduro and Capriles. All that we can do is hope and pray that the best possible outcome occurs. Frankly, I do not see a bright future for the Venezuelans.
