HiddenMysteries: Let me tell you about this gang of conscienceless, self-serving hypocrites! The ePISS-KKKa-Pale-ones

Oscar Heck writes: I will never forget my father-in-law. I begin this article with an excerpt from and interview between between Eva Golinger and Noam Chomsky published on Venezuelanalysis.com:

"Latin America has changed a lot, it's not what it was in the 1960s. For the first time since the Spanish invasion the countries are beginning to face some of the internal problems in Latin America. One of the problems is just disintegration. The countries have very little relationship to one another. They typically were related to the outside imperial power not to each other. You can even see it in the transportation systems. But there is also internal disintegration, tremendous inequality, the worst in the world; small elites and huge massive impoverished people, and the elites were Europe-oriented or US-oriented later - that's where their second homes were, that's where their capital went to, that's where their children went to school. They didn't have anything to do with the population. The elites in Latin America had very little responsibility for the countries. And these two forms of disintegration and slowly being overcome. So there is more integration among the societies, and there are several countries taking steps to deal with the horrible problem of elite domination, which has a racial component to it also of course, there is a pretty close correlation between wealth and whiteness all over the continent. It's one of the reasons for the antagonism to Chavez, it's because he doesn't look white."

The Venezuelanalysis article mentioned above is quite long but very worthwhile reading ... but why do I start this article with the above quote?

For close to five years now, I have been writing about inequality, about the poor and the wealthy mid-to-upper classes, about what generally distinguishes one "class" from another in Venezuela (and in most of Latin America). I have been writing about how, for generations (basically, since the Spaniards arrived in Venezuela), the whiter-skinned mid-to upper classes and the elite minority have been exploiting and abusing the majority darker-skinned people.

For this, I have received flack from all over the globe, but especially from people in North America, who, for some reason act defensively ... and very aggressively ... over statements I make regarding this reality.

White is associated, often, with wealth in Venezuela as in the rest of Latin America and in many other parts of the world, particularly, in those regions which the white Europeans invaded centuries ago.

That is why I began this article with Noam Chomsky's quote ... because, for those people out there who have been insulting me over the years, calling me a racist and all sorts of other disparaging names, not only do I see reality as I do, but so does MIT professor and Phd. holder Noam Chomsky.

Maybe that means something to some people ... now ... back to the essence of this article ... it centers around the Venezuelan Episcopal Conference (CEV) ... which is the head-office of the Venezuelan Catholic church and how it is complicit in perpetuating the "superiority" of the whiter-skinned elite and mid-to-upper classes in Venezuela.

The CEV, run by a gang of pro-opposition, pro-elite and anti-Chavez bishops and other clergy (who report to the Vatican), are once again acting as if they are the heads of some sort of important people's representative organization which must be listened to by the Venezuelan government.

According to a recent VHeadline.com article, the CEV, through the voice of bishop Diego Padron, has made its point: "According to the bishops, the Socialist State in mind is Marxist-Leninist, Statist and contrary to the thought of Simon Bolivar and contrary to the personal nature of the human being and the Christian vision of man because it establishes absolute dominion of the State over the person ... The bishops recall restrictions of liberty in what they call similar regimes, such as the USSR and Cuba, arguing that the system discriminates against those who do not participate in the dominant Socialist ideology and warns that the political rights of many Venezuelans will also be restricted ... Monsignor Padron says the bishops' conclusion is based on Gospel principles and criteria, the Church's social doctrine and numerous documents produced by the Venezuelan Episcopal Conference."

Why should the Venezuelan government listen to these people?

They are amongst some of the most corrupt people in Venezuela (see below), catering only to the best wishes of Venezuelan elite and their mid-to-upper class gofers and imitators and other co-collaborators in the crimes of exploitation, segregation, racism and classism against fellow Venezuelans ... against those who make up the majority of Venezuelans: the poor, the ones who live in the shantytowns ... the ones who mostly have voted in favor of Chavez (with majority wins) on at least 4 occasions since 1998.

I remember the Venezuelan Catholic church ... I worked as a missionary in Venezuela. I remember being forced by priests (under pressure of being kicked out of the church) to attend suppers twice a week at some of the most exclusive restaurants and private clubs in Caracas, mostly in the wealthy Las Mercedes area of eastern Caracas. These hours-long suppers with bankers, government ministers, bishops, generals and other Venezuelan elite were basically extravagant feasts which pleasured in the "best" cuts of meat, seafood, deserts, imported cheeses and wines ... and, of course, imported scotch whiskey and Cuban cigars.

In the mid 1970s, these suppers cost as much as $400 ... my father-in-law didn't even make that much in one full year, working as a laborer for the elite, six days a week. It tore my heart out ... an it still does ... and I will never forget.
They eventually kicked me out (lucky them!) because I refused to participate in such inhuman, hypocritical, conscienceless, self-serving and corrupt practices.

I will never forget ... and I will never give these people one ounce of respect or good word ... and this includes the CEV and its members. I will never forget what happened to my father-in-law, only one casualty in millions at the hands of these people. (Any CEV member with even an iota of guts would quit the CEV and do their own thing to help others in the true image of Christ.)

Some readers have written to me with gentle reprimand because I am often vitriolic in my writings (harsh, biting, caustic, sharp, bitter) ... sometimes bordering on what appears to be hate towards certain people and/or certain groups of people (such as the CEV). It is not about hate ... it goes beyond that. To hate, one must feel something for these people ... and I do not (I feel for their victims).

If something "horrible" or "unfortunate" ever happened to them, I would be completely indifferent ... just as indifferent as these people have been toward their fellow Venezuelans ... toward those who have continuously suffered and struggled to barely survive, while they, these false "preachers of God" keep enjoying exclusive one-year-salary-for-a-poor-person suppers with the same Venezuelan big-shots who continue to try to exploit the innocent hardworking people ... innocent people such as my father-in-law ... who brought in the money to raise four children and several other needy people along the way, working six days a week like a slave ... and died in his mid-fifties due to lack of access to basic health care and medication.

I will never forget. Preachers of God!

Let me tell you about this gang of hypocrites.

Take a look at these two photos from the CEV website ...

the one on the top, the family photo ... and the one lower down, which appears to be the CEV headquarters.

Now take a look at the following photos:

This is what the majority of Venezuelans look like ... this is Venezuelan reality ... this is how and where the majority live.

A typical rural town shantytown, where the majority live.

A typical rural Venezuelan Andean town.

A Venezuelan shantytown ... where my father-in-law lived and died
... where the vast majority of Venezuelans live and die.

The photo of the family on the CEV website is an insult to Venezuela.

What you see there is a photo of what the minority of Venezuelans look like ... no more than 10% or so of the Venezuelan population ... white as sheets ... like the majority of the Venezuelan elite and much of the mid-to-upper classes. The vast majority of Venezuelans are substantially darker in skin color ... and, in general, substantially poorer than the whiter-skinned wealthy mid-to-upper class and elite.

The CEV, the bishops and that mafia, represent the Venezuelan minority, not the majority ... so whatever they have to say is utterly unimportant when compared to the words, wishes, thoughts and actions of the majority ... who, coincidentally, mostly voted for Chavez. In other words, if the CEV ran as a political party (which they sometimes appear to think they are), they would probably only receive a national vote of about 10%. They would never come to power in Venezuela.

Now take a look at what Chavez looks like.

Does Chavez look like the family photo on
the CEV website? Certainly not!

Now we know the real reason why the CEV hates his guts and wants him out. What can one conclude about the CEV? I've lived and worked on and off in Venezuelan shantytowns for over 30 years ... and, when I am in Venezuela, that is where I live and work.

The big-shots at the CEV do not live there ... and they almost never visit a shantytown, let alone work in them. Hypocrites!

I don't want to make myself look like a better human being than the CEV people ... I just want to reiterate the point that the CEV has no business whatsoever in meddling with the political direction or decisions which the Venezuelan People take. And ... I am talking about the "Venezuelan People," the vast majority, the poor and darker-skinned, those who have been traditionally exploited and abused by the elite and by the mid-to-upper classes while the CEV sits by and does nothing for their plight ... probably for fear of losing out on their exclusive lunches, suppers and excessive exploits at private clubs and resorts with the "rich and famous" believers.

The CEV people, like most of the Venezuelan opposition, are hypocrites and full participants in their continued attempts to misrepresent Venezuelan reality to the outside world.

(It is important to note that since Chavez was elected, the CEV has been actively and openly siding with and supporting the Venezuelan opposition which is being financed by the US government's National Endowment for Democracy in their efforts to oust Chavez from power through violence and sedition.)

Sorry, readers ... I cannot not be vitriolic ... these CEV people are gutless and conscienceless ... they continue to proliferate lies and misconceptions and continue to support the use of violence against Chavez while pretending to do it all in the name of God or Christ.

I will not sit by and not speak up against them.

I will never forget my father-in-law.
