Do you know where YOUR ironies are? If you dont, well, here you go. I got another one for you, right here.http://www.aporrea.org/contraloria/n227570.html The latest from the sneak-thieves and bastards of a certain oil-rich South American land, exposed: *On Twitter, you can detect many things and it proves that lies have short legs.* * As well, you can see evidence of how the revolutionary government creates jobs, and does good regardless of who you are, since afterwards, many of those who benefited committed crimes like those of the 14th and 15th of April, after the elections. In the case of Mr. Manuel Alvarez, his application for a job was seen to, and as you can see on his Twitter profile, he was accepted by PDVSA to work in the Amuay refinery. Now, hes not only calling for the death of National Electoral Council rector Tibisay Lucena and calling [National Assembly president] Diosdado Cabello a son of a bitch, but actively participated in the pot-banging protests to discredit the will of the democratic majority, expressed in the recent elections, and even published videos of them on the Internet. The great majority of opposition members who work in public administration, do their job and dont set out to violate the Constitution and the laws, but how many others are there like Mr. Alvarez, actively offending and calling for the deaths of high-level functionaries of government? Is it a violation of labor rights to fire a person who publicly calls for the deaths of high-level public servants? * *Wasnt the Amuay refinery recently subjected to a sabotage?* Translation mine. And yes, the Amuay refinery WAS the target of a recent sabotage attackhttp://venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/7214, which was very conveniently seized on by Majunche Capriles and his goons,http://venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/7211 as is the Venezuelan national electric company, Corpoelec.http://venezuelanalysis.com/news/8818 At the latter, the situation is so disturbing that the company president, Argenis Chávez (yes, hes the younger brother of the late Chavecito; hes also an electrical engineer by training, so this was not a case of simple nepotism, as he was actually qualified to do the job) has chosen to step down in order for investigations to proceed freely and fairly.http://www.aporrea.org/energia/n227589.html But then again, Argenis Chávez is a democrat, like his older brother, who actually listened and, oh evil dictator, *helped out* when a job applicant contacted him via Twitter. And he isnt a shameless prick like Manuel Alvarez and all those other saboteurs of Venezuelan democracy. You know, the ones who are always crying fraud and resorting to violence in reaction to a government devoid of fraud, and which does not resort to violence against them. And the same who claim to be democratic while overtly acting as anything but. - [image: bebo]http://www.bebo.com/c/share?Url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sabinabecker.com%2F2013%2F04%2Fthe-ironies-of-the-venezuelan-opposition-part-20.htmlTitle=The+ironies+of+the+Venezuelan+opposition%2C+part+20 - [image: blogger]http://www.blogger.com/blog_this.pyra?tu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sabinabecker.com%2F2013%2F04%2Fthe-ironies-of-the-venezuelan-opposition-part-20.htmln=The+ironies+of+the+Venezuelan+opposition%2C+part+20pli=1 - [image: delicious]http://delicious.com/post?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sabinabecker.com%2F2013%2F04%2Fthe-ironies-of-the-venezuelan-opposition-part-20.htmltitle=The+ironies+of+the+Venezuelan+opposition%2C+part+20 - [image: digg]http://digg.com/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sabinabecker.com%2F2013%2F04%2Fthe-ironies-of-the-venezuelan-opposition-part-20.htmltitle=The+ironies+of+the+Venezuelan+opposition%2C+part+20bodytext=%0D%0A%0D%0AIt%27s+11%3A00.+Do+you+know+where+YOUR+ironies+are%3F+If+you+don%27t%2C+well%2C+here+you+go.+I+got+another+one+for+you%2C+right+here.+The+latest+from+the+sneak-thieves+and+bastards+of+a+certain+oil-rich+South+American+land%2C+exposed%3A%0D%0A%0D%0AOn+Twitter%2C+you+can+detect+many+things+and+it+proves+that+lies+have+short+legs.%0D%0A%0D%0AAs+well%2C+yo - [image:

[LAAMN] Fwd: [rac-lasupporters] Fwd: The Communist Manifesto - WW Classes Resume this Friday!
Comrade, I'm sorry I don't know. You will have to direct the question to the IAC (which I have cc:ed and hopefully they will get back to you.) I congratulated them on this effort as in these times the outlining and popularizing of Marxian economics (beginning w the Manifesto as there is no better introduction to such thinking) is sorely sorely needed.

We're told instead that we must continue to give up vital and necessary social services and jobs to keep Capitalism and the banks afloat. But to many, using our tax dollars to subsidize bank profits while they continue to foreclose homes and refuse to invest in jobs and peoples needs; spending trillions on wars and drones against other workers to enrich the rich and military industrial complex; funding more for police brutality and less on what's necessary to make our neighborhoods and schools healthy, makes no sense. If you're trying to make the world a better place for humanity, it doesn't make sense, however, Marx and Lenin were among those who exposed the fact that it actually does make sense to the workings of a capitalist system, its ruling class and their puppet law makers. The science of Marx and Lenin is part of the cumulative knowledge of societies all over the world. They built upon that knowledge to advocate for a scientific approach toward society and economics called Socialism, which allows us to go beyond the confines of Capitalism for a more humane, truly democratic and intelligent system that provides for all in society. In the Communist Manifesto Marx breaks down society into its fundamental parts, showing the forces within society that determine its shape, level of exploitation and ideas. It exposes the fact that there is a class struggle going on today and teaches us not only about the need for revolution, but how our class can win basic necessities to survive along the way towards that revolution. Before we can change society, we have to know what it really looks like and the forces that really make it run. The Communist Manifesto is a means to that ends. Please join us and together let's work on applying our knowledge to today's struggles. Hope to see you there! You are subscribed as johnaima...@gmail.com.

[LAAMN] Venezuela:Arrested US citizen tied to rightists' conspiracy
Hands Off Venezuela @*HOVcampaign* https://twitter.com/HOVcampaign We have some opposition supporters on our FB page (https://www. facebook.com/hands.off.venezuela https://t.co/XoyGxYG8lG) in case you want to see the level of their arguments Britain National Hands Off Venezuela conference - May 4http://www.handsoffvenezuela.org/hov_conference_2013.htm Created on 25 April 2013 The Hands Off Venezuela National Conference will be held in London on Saturday 4 May. Come to discuss the legacy of Hugo Chávez, the April 14 presidential election results and the challenges facing the Bolivarian revolution. http://www.handsoffvenezuela.org/hov_conference_2013.htm http://www.avn.info.ve/contenido/arrested-us-citizen-tied-rightists039-conspiracy Credito: VTV Arrested US citizen tied to rightists' conspiracy http://static2.avn.info.ve/sites/default/files/imagecache/original-watermark/fotografia/201304/_mg_60961366909128.jpg Caracas, 25 Abr. AVN.- Interior Relations, Justice and Peace minister, Miguel Rodriguez Torres, informed Thursday about the arrest of a US citizen named Timothy Hallett Tracy, who is allegedly tied to conspiracy of local right-wing sectors against democracy in Venezuela. Actions carried out by Timothy Hallett Tracy, aka 'gringo,' are tied to far right groups which seek to destabilize Venezuela through attacks in the streets after the April 14 presidential elections. Minister Rodriguez Torres said that the objective of the plan was to create chaos in the country to undermine the government, creating a violent scenario. It is important to inform the population about situations that have been occurring. We will show the reasons and ties they have to carry out a series of actions we have been living since the April 14 elections at night, Rodriguez Torres said at a press conference. Since October, November and December 2012, he said, the National Bolivarian Service of Intelligence (SEBIN) started investigations on a plan named Connection April. All evidences we have gathered showed that the election day would come in complete normality; but once results were released by the National Electoral Council (CNE), right-wing candidate Henrique Capriles Radonski would refuse to accept it, the Minister detailed. During investigations, Rodriguez Torres added, a US citizen was found deeply related to rightist young people who make up the so-called Operation Sovereignty. When this relationship was found, surveillance and monitoring started and we noticed that this person manage to infiltrate into revolutionary groups to get their protection, though he related with the far right, explained the Interior Relations, Justice and Peace minister. This US citizen is presumed to be member of an intelligence agency. Also, he has been funded by foreign non governmental organizations. *Connection April* Miguel Rodriguez Torres explained that the plan Connection April aimed at stirring actions after results of the presidential election were released and leading to a civil war. It was its objective, leading us to a civil war. We have documents in proof of it, which they exchange through chips. Messengers took them from La Castellana square (eastern Caracas) to gringo's house. According to him, investigations revealed that the idea was to achieve a civil war in Venezuela to lead to the immediate intervention of a foreign power. Those were and continue being their ends. We have over 500 videos seized in a raid. We wonder, Does housewives who voted for the opposing option want a civil war? Does taxi drivers want that? I am sure that nobody in this country, regardless of their stance, wants that, except these extremist groups headed by extremist leaders of rightist parties who want civil war, said the Miguel Rodriguez Torres. *Evidence* At a press conference, minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres presented a video in which Antonio Rivero, retired general of the Armed Force, giving orders to people who disturbed public order at Altamira community, greater Caracas. All evidence seized in a raid carried out last Wednesday night will be submitted to the corresponding organs. The National Government has managed to act on time to continue guaranteeing peace and calm to the Venezuelan population thanks to intelligence actions nationwide, Rodriguez Torres stressed. The President of the Republic, Nicolas Maduro, has emphasized that this country will always be on the road of peace and coexistence. It has to be an effort of all Venezuelans, regardless of our ideological and political stance. We have to reject and isolate these fascist factors that are trying that Venezuelans kill among ourselves and hate ourselves. We cannot allow that, insisted the Minister. http://static3.avn.info.ve/sites/default/files/imagecache/original-watermark/fotografia/201304/_mg_61091366909131.jpg http://www.avn.info.ve/titulares/autor/ AVN 25/04/2013 15:08 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[LAAMN] Rattlestick Playwrights Theater 1st LA Production - Slipping - Last 2 Weeks!
We're entering the last two weeks of Rattlestick's Slipping at LA's Lillian Theatre!! ... the play Charles McNulty/LA Times describes as a contribution to gay literature and Bitter Lemons declares 100% Sweet! Slipping is the coming of age story of gay high school senior Eli. Brown Paper Tix Discount Codes: SLIPTA - $15 for theatre artists, SLIPSR - $15 for seniors, SLIPST - $10 for students. https://www.facebook.com/events/140003636175880/?fref=ts The critics love Slipping ... A young man's traumatic journey from adolescence to adulthood comes to vivid, heartbreaking, yet ultimately hopeful life in Daniel Talbott's 2009 drama Slipping, whose Los Angeles premiere reunites its pair of New York stars under the incisive direction of its multitalented writer. Steven Stanley StageSceneLA Talbott has...not only given his actors rich material to inhabit but he has made a contribution to gay literature. Charles McNulty LA Times compelling and occasionally shocking (there is also male nudity in this production). Ultimately, the play's strength lies in its honest depiction of abuse and loneliness. Jesse David Corti Stage and Cinema Be prepared to have your heartstrings tugged and tear ducts flowing, especially during the Eli/Jake scenes near the end. A number of hysterical bawdy jokes will make you laugh amongst the tears (look out for the Michael Jackson rib near the end). Gil Kaan Culture Spot LA Slipping is an important new play, one that needs to be shared on whatever level it is offered. Because Talbott's writing and staging is so clearly filmic, it wouldn't be surprising if this run in our reclaimed desert might find it has an even more apparent future than the emergence of its original star. Travis Michael Holder ArtsInLA All too often, coming of age stories come across as stale and trite, but Slipping exists in a deeper world than many of its contemporaries. While it's not outright devastating, there's something heartbreaking about growing up, and about Eli's story in particular. Slipping flourishes in the space between the infinitesimal cracks it creates in the audiences' hearts. Katie Buenneke Neon Tommy To the extent Slipping is a coming-out story, it's the story of Jake, not Eli. Everyone knows Eli is gay; it is Jake who goes on the journey of self-discovery. And it is a fun journeynot full of angst and confusion, but excitement and joy. Sharon Perlmutter Talkin' Broadway This is a remarkable production of a striking play, produced by Addie Johnson-Talbott and Gaalan Michaelson with style and grace for Rattlestick-West Productions, exhibiting much insight into teenaged and young-twenties angst. A coming-out play, it skips most of the clichés inherent in the genre and allows real characters to come into their own. Highly recommended for all audiences. Dale Reynolds Stagehappenings Talbott's direction and staging elements are highly styled, very calculated, and imbued with metaphor. The production resounds with young hormonal rage mixed with moments of sheer sweetness and affection for the work being treated to the lusciousness of a complex first-love story, is worth the price of admission. Mia Bonadonna LAist The L.A. premiere of this excellent piece, produced by the New York-based Rattlestick Playwrights Company that introduced the play Off-Broadway, is graced with a handsomely mounted and consummately acted rendition. Les Spindle Backstage Under Talbott's direction, Numrich captures and authentically conveys adolescent confusion. Also well captured is the self-loathing that spawns abusive behavior, as seen in the actions of the supporting characters.
