ROBO EN PDVSA
PDVSA Ponzi Scheme's US Receiver Sues to Recover $550 Million for Venezuela
The US court-appointed receiver responsible for unwinding the asset management companies at the center of a Ponzi scheme involving Venezuelan state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA)'s pension funds in the US has filed 6 lawsuits in US Federal Court seeking $550 million dollars from a host of figures, including PDVSA investment manager Juan Montes for bribery; Venezuelan multi-millionaire Moris Beracha and a host of his companies; and Ponzi schemer Francisco Illarramendi and his partners.
MIAMI -- John J. Carney, the court-appointed receiver responsible for unwinding Francisco "Pancho" Illarramendi's Michael Kenwood and Highview Point hedge funds -- the asset management companies at the center of a $500 million ponzi scheme that was responsible for Venezuelan state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA)'s pension funds in the US -- has filed 6 different lawsuits in US Federal Court in Connecticut seeking to recover almost $550 million dollars in bribes, kickbacks and ill-gotten gains from a host of individuals and companies, some of whom had not been identified as being involved until the lawsuits revealed the widening conspiracy. And the documents obtained by the Latin American Herald Tribune hint at more lawsuits and revelations to come.
In the first case, Francisco Illarramendi -- who pled guilty to the ponzi scheme last year -- and his family are being sued for over $300 million by the Receiver.
"Illarramendi owed the Receivership Entities a fiduciary duty to act in their best interest and in the best interest of the Funds that entrusted their money to him," argues Carney. "Illarramendi was, however, completely derelict in performing his duties and responsibilities. This failure makes Illarramendi liable for the full amount of the damages resulting from the Fraudulent Scheme, which must be returned to the Receiver for ultimate distribution to those who have been defrauded." The suit lists $22.8 million that directly went to Illarramendi and his wife Maria Josephina Gonzalez-Miranda, with $395,000 for his sister Adela Illarramendi.
Partners in the various asset managers that Illarramendi owned -- Highview Point and subsequently Michael Kenwood -- are also named in other suits. The lawsuit against Highview Point partners Francisco Lopez (and his sister Carolina Lopez Pelaez and her husband Carlos Manuel Barrantes Araya), partner Christopher Luth, and Chief Compliance and Financial Officer Victor Chong seeks $29,737,649.
In August 2004, Luth, Lopez and Illarramendi formed Highview Point Partners (HVP Partners) as a Delaware limited liability company, each holding a one-third ownership share. According to the LLC agreement signed by Luth, Lopez and Illarramendi, the stated purpose of HVP Partners was to act as the investment manager of an Offshore Fund.
Another suit for $7,594,093 against Odo Habeck, his wife Nancy Habeck and their joint company OGH Advisors. Habeck, who had worked with Illarramendi at Credit Suisse, became the President and CEO of Michael Kenwood Capital Management, which became another manager and shell to the funds.
Another smaller and more unusual suit is against a childhood friend of Illarramendi, Javier Marin, and his company, Hispanic News Press, Inc., and its former co-owner Luis Lugo and Merica Consulting, Inc. The relationship seems to puzzle Carney, who is suing for $1,686,000, and involves Illarramendi repeatedly bailing Marin -- who used to be an owner of cutting-edge, inside Venezuela gossip website Descifrado -- out of financial difficulties, from paying his rent to buying out his partners.
"Marin had aconstant need for money to support himself and his businesses, and repeatedly counted on his friend Illarramendi to bail him out of financial difficulties," argued Carney. "Time and again, Marin turned to Illarramendi for money. Often Marin would simply send Illarramendi emails with wire transfer instructions when he needed money, like a child to a parent. Other times, Marin would visit Illarramendi personally, at the offices of HVP Partners or the MK Group in Stamford, Connecticut to discuss the money he needed."
Away from the friends, family, partners and employees in the various Ponzi scheme ventures, Carney has filed suit against a host of co-conspirators outside of the company.
Carney has filed a suit against a former PDVSA investment manager, Juan S. Montes, that "seeks the return of bribes and other fraudulent transfers totaling $35,744,651." Montes -- who is often referred to by the codename "Black" in the exhibits -- was key to getting PDVSA investments, deals and money flowing into Illarramendi's scheme.
"It was a measure of Illarramendi’s desperation to maintain and conceal his fraud, and his fanciful belief that a financial windfall was right around the corner, that he was willing to pay exorbitant amounts in bribes and kickbacks to ensure that he was able to attract investments from and participate in transactions with PDVSA’s pension funds," Carney alleges in the complaint. "Illarramendi also made the bribe payments in order to hinder, delay or defraud his creditors as the transactions PDVSA participated in helped to keep the Ponzi scheme undetected."
According to the suit, until August 2010, Montes was the corporate manager of finance, investments, and property insurance at Venezuelan state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela, SA (PDVSA) and its pension funds, as well as a member of PDVSA’s investment committee and was responsible for directing the investments of PDVSA's pension funds.
The suit alleges that Illarramendi bribed Montes to execute PDVSA trades with him, paying him atleast $35,744,651 for the 5 trades analyzed in the lawsuit (see below). In that suit, Carney is also suing Movilway, alleging that Movilway founder Moris Beracha, who had close ties to former Venezuelan Finance Ministers and PDVSA officials, helped broker the trades and received substantial funds as a result, including getting the bribery funds to Montes. Movilway is company owned by Beracha that provides prepaid mobile telephone services to an array of countries in Latin and South America, as well as phone-based banking services.
"Beracha had deep connections within the Venezuelan finance community as well to PDVSA officials, including Montes," the suit alleges. "By working with and through Beracha, Illarramendi secured various transactions with the Pension Funds."
Venezuelan financier Moris Beracha is a figure looming large in the widening conspiracy and the receiver is seeking $172 million from him and his companies in a second lawsuit against Beracha, and his companies 4A Star Corp, Bradleyville Ltd, Brave Spirit Ltd, Dobson Management Corp, Eastcoast Consultant Corp, Fractal Fund Management Ltd, Fractal Factoring Fund, Fractal Holding Ltd, Fractal P Holding Ltd, Fractal Factoring II, Hermitage Consultants Inc, La Signoria Asests Corp, NetValue Strategy SA, Northwestern International, Rowberrow Trading Corp and Sunny Services Corp.
According to his resume, Beracha serves as the head of Fractal Fund Management Group, an investment firm; and Celistics Holdings, a leading distributor of cellular devices in Latin America. Beracha also heads Movilway, a telephone-banking subsidiary of Celistics. "Celistics Holdings continues to expand and recently experienced $1.2 billion in growth over a two-year period, " his resume lists. Fractal is listed in the list of investors claiming against Illarramendi entities Michael Kenwood and Highview Point for a total $76 million. "Established in 2005, Moris Beracha's Fractal Fund Management Group thrives through a staff of former Merrill Lynch and UBS employees," his resume states. "Moris Beracha continuously fosters the growth of the company, and in 2009, the venture received the title of Fixed Income Emerging Manager of the Year by Opal Financial Group."
Carney identifies a different side to Beracha and explains why his Fractal group might have been so profitable.
"For nearly five years, Moris Beracha and his affiliated entities participated in numerous, suspect transactions with Francisco Illarramendi and the Receivership Entities. Beracha and these affiliates received exorbitant fees, excessive and outlandish rates of interest, kickbacks and other improper payments," says Carney. "Beracha and his entities received this money as Beracha knowingly served as Illarramendi’s source of liquidity to perpetuate Illarramendi’s Ponzi scheme and pay debts and redemptions as they came due. Beracha’s funding came in various forms, including the loaning of money for short periods of time at annual interest rates often exceeding 80%, and the introduction to Illarramendi of investors and important Venezuelan government officials, bankers and financiers who could engage in transactions with Illarramendi. Beracha provided the money or access to money that kept Illarramendi and his scheme afloat."
Further, Carney states that Beracha helped Illarramendi bribe officials.
"Beracha assisted Illarramendi with the payment of millions of dollars in bribes to at least one Venezuelan government official," argues Carney. The Venezuelan government official has not been named yet.
Carney points out that not only did Beracha loan money to Illarramendi, help him make connections and pay the bribes, he was also responsible for bringing other victims into the Ponzi.
"Beracha also solicited money from other investors to pour into Illarramendi’s various 'investment' vehicles in return for fees and kickbacks, thereby profiting from and helping Illarramendi victimize innocent investors," argues Carney. "It is these investors who suffered the consequences of Illarramendi’s acts and Beracha’s flow of capital to help sustain Illarramendi."
The Ponzi
Illarramendi's whole Ponzi scheme unravelled in January 2011, when the SEC charged him with engaging in a multi-year Ponzi scheme involving hundreds of millions of dollars. On March 7, 2011, Illarramendi pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud, one count of securities fraud, one count of investment advisor fraud, and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, to obstruct an official proceeding and to defraud the SEC, for which he is still awaiting sentencing.
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office, FBI and our Connecticut Securities, Commodities and Investor Fraud Task Force are committed to the aggressive investigation and prosecution of individuals who attempt to obstruct the SEC and its critically important mission of protecting investors and the integrity of American capital markets,” said U.S. Attorney Fein, who brought the charges.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Francisco Illarramendi of New Canaan, Connecticut acted as an investment adviser to hedge funds he co-owned. In approximately 2005, one hedge fund he advised lost millions of dollars and rather than disclose to his investors the truth about the losses incurred, Illarramendi decided to hide the losses by engaging in a long-running scheme to defraud and mislead his investors, creditors and the SEC to prevent the truth about the losses from being discovered.
"Based upon my review of documents and the testimony and admissions of Illarramendi, it is apparent that Illarramendi began the Fraudulent Scheme at least as early as October 2005 when he caused losses from the purchase and sale of a Credit Lyonnais bond with a nominal value of $50 million," forensic accountant Matthew Greenblatt explained to the court.
"In approximately mid-October 2005, I was in Venezuela to enter into supposedly a transaction to purchase a credit linked note from a Venezuelan financial institution through the arbitrage that I have described in my testimony in answering to Mr.
Loewenson's questions," said Illarramendi during his guilty plea hearing. "And as a result of that, because of a number of issues, the bank that was purchasing the note from us backed out of the transaction, and because of market events that resulted in us, or me, having to sell the security at a much lower price than I had intended initially, and a loss being effectively incurred."
"Despite the fact that the Calyon Bond transaction resulted in a loss, HVP Partners transferred cash to each investor, other than HVP Offshore, in amounts greater than each investor’s initial investment," said Greenblatt. "For example, Lopez, and his sister Carolina Lopez, received approximately $2.55 million for their $2.5 million investment. Because Illarramendi distributed positive returns to the other investors, HVP Offshore only received approximately $14.1 million in cash and bonds for its original investment of approximately $18.8 million. Although only $14.1 million in value was received by HVP Offshore, its books and records were falsified to reflect the receipt of approximately $19.3 million of value from the investment. The difference between the $19.3 million falsely recorded and the $14.1 million in value actually received constituted a cash shortfall of approximately $5.2 million absorbed by HVP Offshore, which Illarramendi described to the Court as the beginning of the “hole” that his Fraudulent Scheme concealed."
Illarramendi then sought to make up the losses by engaging in options trading, but only made the situation worse. "By the end of August 2006, the hole stood at over $33 million, more than one third of the $95 million net asset value of the HVP Funds," says Greenblatt.
Under cross-examination in court when he entered his guilty plea last year, Illarramendi agreed that the loss could be over $300 million now.
"Q. You've referred to this as the hole in your plea allocution?
A. Yes, I believe so.
Q. And the hole could, in your estimation, be in excess of $300 million?
A. I believe so, yes."
But this month, the receiver filed a list of claimants (see below) totalling $2.2 billion, with a list of possible assets of only $729 million -- which includes the $550 million they are trying to recover in these 6 suits. The actual amount the receiver lists as "Potential Litigation Claims" is $658 million, meaning there may be atleast another $110 million in suits potentially unfiled so far.
To cover up the money gaps, Illarramendi engaged with others to create fraudulent documents, including a fictitious asset verification letter falsely representing that one of the hedge funds, the Short Term Liquidity Fund had at least $275 million in credits as a result of outstanding loans, when Illarramendi and others knew it had nothing.
A Venezuelan "fixer", Juan Carlos Horna Napolitano, was brought in for $3 million to find help paper over the gap and in late 2010, he persuaded Venezuelan accountant Juan Carlos Guillen Zerpa to prepare an asset verification letter that would falsely prove that the funds had made outstanding loans to Venezuelan companies. Guillen, a resident and citizen of Venezuela, was the managing partner of the local Venezuela affiliate of BDO, the world’s fifth-largest accounting network. Horna "and others" then worked to create a fraudulent list of loans and to incorporate this list into the asset verification letter to be signed by Guillen.
In January 2011, Guillen executed the false asset verification letter and sent it by e-mail to Illarramendi.
Guillen and Horna then learned that the false asset verification letter had been given to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to try and justify the missing money, and that the SEC saw through it, and initiated a civil action against Illarramendi and others (SEC v. Illarramendi, et al., 3:11-CV-00078).
Sticking to their story as the SEC closed in, Guillen, Illarramendi, Horna and others then had to create more fraudulent documentation to try to support the false information contained in the letter. Guillen even participated in a telephone call with representatives of the SEC in January 2011 in which he intentionally misrepresented that the assertions in the asset verification letter about the existence of the hedge funds’ assets were true.
Guillen expected to receive approximately $1 million for his willingness to sign the false asset verification letter. Horna maintained control of a Florida bank account in the name of Jeislo Real Estate Investments, LLC. Illarramendi had Beracha send two transfers of funds in the total amount of $1.25 million into this bank account. As partial payment for Guillen’s services in this conspiracy, Horna transferred $250,000 to a third party for the benefit of Guillen.
In a letter to the Court in accountant Guillen's trial, David E. Bergers, Regional Director of the SEC’s Boston Regional Office stated, “...the Defendant’s conduct delayed the Commission staff’s detection of a very serious financial fraud. It also resulted in the Commission staff expending additional government resources to uncover the fraud via other methods. We consider this kind of misconduct, especially by industry professionals such as the Defendant, to be particularly damaging to investors, to our capital markets and to the Commission’s investigative mission.”
The charade didn't last long, especially after Illarramendi admitted the fraud, turned State's evidence and began working with the SEC, including recording his co-conspirators for the FBI. Guillen and Horna were arrested by FBI special agents on March 3, 2011, in Florida. On March 7, 2011, Illarramendi pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud, one count of securities fraud, one count of investment advisor fraud, and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, to obstruct an official proceeding and to defraud the SEC. On May 4, 2011, Guillen pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Horna pleaded guilty to the same charge on May 19, 2011.
Venezuelan accountant Juan Carlos Guillen Zerpa was sentenced to 14 months imprisonment followed by two years supervised release for his role in the conspiracy to obstruct the Commission’s investigation by US District Judge Stefan R. Underhill in Bridgeport, Connecticut on December 14, 2011. He was also ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and to forfeit the $315,000 he received.
Florida resident Juan Carlos Horna Napolitano was also sentenced by Judge Underhill to 14 months imprisonment, followed by two years supervised release, for his role in conspiring to obstruct a Commission investigation relating to Illarramendi. Horna was also ordered to forfeit the $935,000 he received.
Illarramendi -- who could face 70 years -- awaits sentencing.

A Venezuelan "fixer", Juan Carlos Horna Napolitano, was brought in for $3 million to find help paper over the gap and in late 2010, he persuaded Venezuelan accountant Juan Carlos Guillen Zerpa to prepare an asset verification letter that would falsely prove that the funds had made outstanding loans to Venezuelan companies. Guillen, a resident and citizen of Venezuela, was the managing partner of the local Venezuela affiliate of BDO, the world’s fifth-largest accounting network. Horna "and others" then worked to create a fraudulent list of loans and to incorporate this list into the asset verification letter to be signed by Guillen.
In January 2011, Guillen executed the false asset verification letter and sent it by e-mail to Illarramendi.
Guillen and Horna then learned that the false asset verification letter had been given to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to try and justify the missing money, and that the SEC saw through it, and initiated a civil action against Illarramendi and others (SEC v. Illarramendi, et al., 3:11-CV-00078).
Sticking to their story as the SEC closed in, Guillen, Illarramendi, Horna and others then had to create more fraudulent documentation to try to support the false information contained in the letter. Guillen even participated in a telephone call with representatives of the SEC in January 2011 in which he intentionally misrepresented that the assertions in the asset verification letter about the existence of the hedge funds’ assets were true.
Guillen expected to receive approximately $1 million for his willingness to sign the false asset verification letter. Horna maintained control of a Florida bank account in the name of Jeislo Real Estate Investments, LLC. Illarramendi had Beracha send two transfers of funds in the total amount of $1.25 million into this bank account. As partial payment for Guillen’s services in this conspiracy, Horna transferred $250,000 to a third party for the benefit of Guillen.
In a letter to the Court in accountant Guillen's trial, David E. Bergers, Regional Director of the SEC’s Boston Regional Office stated, “...the Defendant’s conduct delayed the Commission staff’s detection of a very serious financial fraud. It also resulted in the Commission staff expending additional government resources to uncover the fraud via other methods. We consider this kind of misconduct, especially by industry professionals such as the Defendant, to be particularly damaging to investors, to our capital markets and to the Commission’s investigative mission.”
The charade didn't last long, especially after Illarramendi admitted the fraud, turned State's evidence and began working with the SEC, including recording his co-conspirators for the FBI. Guillen and Horna were arrested by FBI special agents on March 3, 2011, in Florida. On March 7, 2011, Illarramendi pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud, one count of securities fraud, one count of investment advisor fraud, and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, to obstruct an official proceeding and to defraud the SEC. On May 4, 2011, Guillen pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Horna pleaded guilty to the same charge on May 19, 2011.
Venezuelan accountant Juan Carlos Guillen Zerpa was sentenced to 14 months imprisonment followed by two years supervised release for his role in the conspiracy to obstruct the Commission’s investigation by US District Judge Stefan R. Underhill in Bridgeport, Connecticut on December 14, 2011. He was also ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and to forfeit the $315,000 he received.
Florida resident Juan Carlos Horna Napolitano was also sentenced by Judge Underhill to 14 months imprisonment, followed by two years supervised release, for his role in conspiring to obstruct a Commission investigation relating to Illarramendi. Horna was also ordered to forfeit the $935,000 he received.
Illarramendi -- who could face 70 years -- awaits sentencing.

BORRACHERA DE DOLARES Y BS. ALERTA!
una borrachera de dolares y bolívares, una voz de alerta roja!
lo que esta pasando en Venezuela es una locura de imprimir billetes a diestra y siniestra, para poder hacer una gigantesca campana presidencial en favor del presidente chavez, me parece que esto es un combustible muy peligroso para la inflación, que tiene que decir el dr giordani sobre estas emisiones de billetes? se hace mas difícil explicarle a la gente porque no se puede controlar la inflación, que es el daño mas grande que se la hace al venezolano, pues le encarece todo, y su salario no sube en forma proporcional, como me dice un amigo los precios suben por el ascensor y los sueldos por las escaleras, creando así problemas en los hogares falta de pagos, incumplimiento de obligaciones contraídas, pues el dinero ya no alcanza para nada, un mercado vale un monton de bs, entonces hacia donde vamos? que sucedería si el precio del petróleo bajara a 70 $/b, o peor aun, al monto usado por el congreso para el presupuesto que se supone es un mumero bien calculado, de 40$/b, entonces, tendriamos que llamar a Maria, pues no hundiríamos en una carencia de alimentos, de medicinas, de todo, caos. pues estamos importando de todo. nuestra supervivencia depende de las importaciones.
pues la producción nacional, pese a la cantidad de empresas que se fundan no aumenta, al contrario baja, y las empresas que se confiscan o roban, producen menos que antes, hasta el punto que estamos contratando con los iranies una planta de cemento cuando tenemos tres que eran HOLCIM, CEMEX, Y LAFARGE, que producian en abundancia pero ahora van en bajada su producción, tenemos que importar cemento por eso, recuerden que lo que mas mano de obra crea es la construccion, por eso es imperante la reconstrucción de nuestras carreteras, mejorarlas, hacer un paso alterno a la fajardo, a ccs para los que vengan de occidente no tengan que atravesar la ciudad por la fajardo, sino por una circunvalacion, y continuar a oriente, o vice versa, que cada dia sera mas dificil dado el auge de construcciones en las areas que han debido ser reservadas para su construccion; además del famoso efecto holandés, que la unica forma de mitigarlo es con obras civiles, viviendas, pues si ese dinero del petroleo va a gasto corriente arruina a las empresas nacionales que no pueden competir con las extranjeras.
no hay una política seria de finanzas en el país. yo le preguntaría al presidente si luego de agotar todas las reservas para su campana y ganara el gobierno las elecciones que haría para arreglar ese gingantesco déficit, seguir imprimiendo billetes? pero no habrá nada que comprar, pues este es el efecto que tendría que el gobierno quien maneja las mayores cantidades de dinero, se quede sin plata, o con poca plata que no pueda cumplir sus compromisos, ni hacer las importaciones que hace para suplir las fallas creadas por las confiscaciones de empresas venezolanas, que ya no son capaces, y a lo mejor ni quieren regresar a producir bajo tanta incertidumbre, pues si hay una palabra clave en las finanzas y las inversiones de un pais es CONFIANZA, una terrible situación.
no es extraño la volatilidad de los precios del petróleo, por lo que hay que estar preparados para cualquier evento de esta naturaleza. la situación política del medio oriente es muy inestable, por ejemplo que pasaría sin en Arabia Saudita surgiera la primavera árabe? a lo tiene al lado en Bahrain, y que ellos mismos corrieron a arreglar la situación que se estaba gestando alli, pues saben que les puede afectar, y el gobierno saudi quedaria en manos de gente como los iranies? caos. y esto hace que el precio del petróleo pueda estar hoy alto y mañana bajo, pues depende de los acontecimientos políticos en estos países, por ahora todo indica que precios del petroleo subirán pues hay tensión con irán, pero si esto cesa y se arregla el problema con irán pues perdió su gran aliado siria, que haría irán? capitularia?, y al hacerlo se caen de narices los precios del petróleo o se van al cielo, creando crisis aguda en occidente, y nosotros que estamos acostumbrándonos a vivir del día a día, nos hundiremos un una depresión fuerte, la plata se volvería escasa, todo el mundo vendiendo y nadie comprando, que significaría esto: caos. ademas recuerden que existe una crisis economica mundial, en unos lados mas fuerte que en otros, pero hay una tendencia de todos los gobiernos a endeudarse, y luego viene la caida, como en grecia, portugal, espana, etc, que entonces quien paga los platos rotos son los ciudadanos que sufren mas impuestos, menos trabajos disponibles, menos inversiones, etc.
por estas situaciones es que tenemos que ser precavidos a la hora de manejar las finanzas publicas, deben ser transparentes, que no lo son, debemos volver a la unidad del tesoro, que ayudaría mucho a que se aclaren las distintas situaciones que vivimos, pues hay una chequera que camina sin control de nadie, no se sabe quienen firman, donde estan esos reales,
para su informacion la intencion de esta nota no es para alarmar a nadie, es para poner los pies en la tierra, y mas bien va dirigida a la gente que maneja finanzas publicas, para que recapaciten si eso es posible en sus mentes sumisas. En el fondo nos interesa aguantar para que no tenga excusas de suspender las elecciones si ya esta seguro que perdera, veremos como reacciona la oposicion, de suceder esto.

COMO ES ESO DE NUEVOS ACUERDOS CON IRAN
me parece que no se justifica una nueva planta de cemento cuando las nacionalizadas estan a media maquina y descuidadas, vamos a recuperar estas tres plantas primero, lo otro es la construccion de tractores de iran, si la de los carros donde esta? como que medio abandonada, o no produce, esperando repuestos, ahora somos esclavos de los repuestos de iran, bien lejos, habra que usar una empresa tipo dhl pero irani, para traer los repuestos, los chinos nos tienen invadidos por todos lados, estoy seguro que no los conocen, ellos no reaccionan como los gringos, espera que no les cumplan para que vean como reaccionan los chinos. los brasilenos son parecidos, con la refineria de pernambuco pdvsa trato de cambiar el trato y petrobras dijo, nada de eso, eso no es el acuerdo y tuvimos que saltar con la plata de los chinos, se parecen a mis cuentas pido a uno para pagarle al otro. tambien se firmo un acuerdo para connstruir una refineria gigantesca en china, pero parece olvidada o que pasara>? estos acuerdos parecen salir de una mente delirante, pues no tienen ninguna justificacion puro show, que lastima,ademas la venida del hombre fuerte de iran es una provocacion muy grande que nos puede traer problemas feos, el gobierno se siente fuerte con los equipos rusos de guerra pero eso no es nada para un portaviones gringo, eso lo acaban en dos dias, hasta desde curazao. la otra gran preocupacion es el deterioro de la educacion, hace falta una educacion de calidad, pues hoy dia pasan materia sino tienen profesores, que horror, mas adelante en sus grados lo pagan duro, a menos tampoco tenganp= profesor, hay que empezar por regenerar los institutos pedagogicos y mejorar la calidad de la educacion, sin abandono de la educacion, en un pais donde la mitad de los estudiantes abandonan los estudios y no tienen un ince para estudiar oficios practicos para ganarse la vida, por eso aumenta la inseguridad, ademas de soltar a 3500 presos, para mejorar la seguridad del venezolano, pareciera que las soluciones son contrarias a los deseos de las correcciones que se quieren hacer, sera a proposito o sera ignorancia>???? nestor g ramirez

dejarse vejar diariamente conduce a la sumision
Caracas 10 de diciembre del 2011
DEJARSE VEJAR: ES, BURLAR, MOLESTAR, PERSEGUIR
Cuando era Niño tuve varias peleas por que me vejaban, uno no se dejaba vejar por nadie, y muchas veces ni por sus propios padres. Que es lo contrario de dejarse vejar? es ser orgulloso, valiente, tener coraje para defenderse, tener cojones, tener ovarios, pues las mujeres hay unas que Dios mio ojala no te toque una pues me batea contra el suelo, etc, pero noto que los venezolanos de hoy, en su gran mayoria se dejan vejar, es mas dejan vejar a sus semejantes, ante la mirada e inaccion de los que lo rodean, cuando yo era un chamo si no me podia desquitar de la vejacion, mis companeros me ayudaban a desquitarme, eso no sucede hoy dia, hoy te roban y en tus narices hay gente a tu alrededor que ve lo que te estan haciendo y nadie hace nada, porque? Porque hay miedo, no hay coraje, no son valientes, son unos cobardes, y eso es muy malo para la sociedad, pues se las sirve en bandeja de plata a los malandros. Bueno esto tampoco es nuevo pues hace unos tiempo , bastante tiempo, unas chamas que fueron a la Francia, el famoso edificio que estaba lleno de joyerias, y hacian uso de lo que en mercadeo se llama, magnetismo, a comprarse unos zarcillos de oro, se los quitaron en la acera, y mucha gente vio lo que paso y ninguno movio un dedo.
Porque pasara esto? sera que como no es familia mia no me importa, o porque bueno, tuvo mala suerte y la jodieron, cosa que me lleva a pensar en la sociedad, si la sociedad en que vivimos piensa asi estamos muy mal pues vivimos en sociedad, lo que quiere decir que nos debemos poner reglas entre nosotros que son nuestras leyes y las leyes prohiben estos actos, por lo que no estamos cumpliendo las leyes y alli yace el gran problema, la justicia, si esta no se cumple, como tenemos muchas demostraciones, inclusives apadrinadas nada menos que por el presidente de la republica, lease juez Afiuni, menos las vamos a cumplir nosotros, tenemos una degradacion de la moral y de la etica que tomara cien anos, como la soledad del Gabo, de restituir desde el dia que comencemos o sea puede tomar mucho mas, la sociedad tiene sus vericuetos para retrazar sus progresos, necesitamos gobiernos que nos den ejemplos de pulcritud, de seriedad, de comproiso, de cumplimiento de la palabra empanada, que por cierto se perdio porlo menos hace cuarenta anos en Venezuela,
El gobierno nos veja todo el tiempo, ahi tienes a los jubilados petroleros que la subcomision de contraloria los vejo a todos, cuando declaro que no hay lugar a ningun castigo al ministro Ramirez ni al flamante, multimillonario, eudomario carruyo, por el saqueo que le hicieron al fondo de pensiones, cuando con leer los estatutos del fondo que no son sino un poquito de paginas, te das cuenta que si son culpables, sera que no saben leer sino hablar? Y hablar mal? que creen uds que hicieron los afectados, o sea los vejados, pues simplemente se dejaron
vejar, parecen una pila de guevones, y perdonen la palabra, pues como nuestros jueces hasta dicen que decir “hijo de puta” no es malo, guevon debe ser mucho mas acceptable, no creen?
Que nos ha pasado en estos anos? Yo particularmente pienso que lo que ha pasado es que el pueblo ha seguido el ejemplo de los mandatarios y si los mandatarios son unos malandros, ser malandro debe ser bueno, y si roban los robolucionarios, porque nosotros vamos a ser mas pendejos, no nos dejemos vejar, vamos a robar tambien, por lo que concluy o que sin un gobierno decente que se porte como se porto mi abuelo conmigo y mi madre santa, que me enseno a que hay reglas en la vida inviolables o vamos a la barbarie, no nos mejorara en nada la vida y sera un pais de vivos, de roboluciconarios, de quitate tu para ponerme yo aunque mis credenciales no sirven, como el caso del chofer de metrobus que suena ahora para presidente, que clase de educacion ha tenido para obstentar tal merecimiento, pues nada menos que el de sus companeros que son igual que el uno fue cantinero, otro malandro, otro guerrillero, o sea amigos ser malandro no es malo, ser guerrillero es bueno, ser ignorante es bueno, pues la contraloria, dijo cuando absolvio a Ramirez y carruyo, que quedaban abusuertos! Que maravilla de letrados tenemos no deben ni haber terminado el bachillerato, aunque recuerdo cuando trabajaba que recibia curriculum vitae de ingenieros que tenian una ortografia malisima, o sea el problema es de vieja data y hay que emplezar a corregirlo empezando por los institutos pedagogicos del pais, que graduen Buenos maestros, estrictos, y nos ensenen Buena ortografia y escritura, yo iba cuando nino donde Tula Y Miesarobe a hacer palitos y ceros, exis, etc, para mejorar mi letra, pues la letra hasta se ha perdido su calidad, leo cartas de mi bisabuela y me da envidia la letra tan perfecta que tenia, sabia escribir pero bien bonito, rescatemos todo esto y no nos arrepentiremos. Quien dijo miedo? Palante mi gente, vamos a tartar de ser mejores ciudadanos para que tengamos un pais para vivirlo y disfrutarlo, tenemos uno de los paises mas bellos del planeta, un clima que es la envidia de todos que por su culpa andan con sus caras de arrechos cuando andan sufriendo el inclemente frio, nosotros no, vivimos la eterna primavera y aun no hemos aprendido a vivirla bien. Por Dios, vamos a mejorar nuestras vidas.
