"Tough moments for the unity of Chilean right wing"

"The Intendant had quit from the beginning"

Nicholas Monckeberg, Member of the right wing

RN said:

there is not fraud, but the Intendent of Concepción,

Jacqueline van Rysselberghe must to assume political responsibility.

- What do you think about this situation?

"The Intendant ought to have resigned from the beginning, no because she is the author of fraud, because we know money is not has lost, but merely because it is not good for the Government neither to democracy... “an error like this should not be kept with total impunity and without anybody responding"

- What impact would it have, the permanence in office?

"If after the expressions, such as the Intendant said, and nothing is happening, and nobody will step down, we would be giving a very bad sign to the rest of the officers, because we would be saying,"That's not bad enough that we can lie and change the background to get more resources. "

About the other right-wing party UDI that integrates the government, which the Intendent is a member ... Monckeberg said:

"When a party assumes a government, is responsible formanaging the State, and govern and to serve the whole country.”

And concerning the opposition to the government that started this political mess:

"They never would have asked for the resignation to the Intendant. They accustomed us to that authority should be sentenced to prison so ultimately leave office. "

Nicolas Monckeberg remarked:

"Political responsibility is different from the criminal law.Nobody doubts the honesty of the Intendant, and is known that no resources are missed. However, it would be wrong for any government, that when there are affirmations of this kind, no one assume, the respective responsibility for. "

Piñera, Chile's government...Centre-left?

Chile today, with CarlosToledolabarca.02/14/2010

"Carlos Larraín understands well, the indispensable need to maintain autonomous intermediate social bodies?" (Gonzalo Rojas Wednesday February 9, 2011 Girardi and Larraín, "symmetrical?)

In days past, I mentioned the fine irony that encloses the entire text in the political column of the week 09/15.

Both political parties in our Chilean right (UDI and RN) in its declarations of principles consider indispensable citizen participation in decisions and the course of opinions, from and intermediate social bodies.

But the fact is that this is not even the least bit according to the reality that both parties practice. All decisions that concern these "intermediate social bodies, are far from being made for the themselves or less they are made into account its views, the" senator "Larraín is an example for himself …

Senator Larraín was a Municipal Council member in the Metropolitan Region, and right now he is going to fill a vacant in the Senate, representing a region far away from the capital city, and "designated to finger", this occurs: because he is the Chairman of the National Renovation Party .

Is that in the 16th circumscription does not exist some person capable of taking the vacant?

Point is not to enter at discussing the exercise, or the present political direction of the party leaders of our Chilean right, is merely to call attention ....

"Our" administration has made progress in certain issues, in particular is noticed technically and professional hands of State administration, but it is also true that politically, and in the general terms of it, is necessary to agree that it is a administration of "continuing. " of politics the country has known, with the left... and whether Piñera has come to La Moneda, with the support of Right, let's say we have the right “to ease” the classification,and to name to the actual government like"Centre-left. "

The basis for this assertion is that there is a large distance between the pragmatic activities of the President and his collaborators and the leadership of the political parties, about form and mode to gain the favor of the electors, according to the upcoming elections.

And having ignored the urgent needs of the intermediate social bodies, and as well they forget election promises, which spoke of a deep "change" in the direction of State policies.

A pathetic example is what is happening with the Head of the Regional Government, Jacqueline van Rysselberghe, in Concepción. .
Alternation, respect for the law, to banish dirty policy(¿?) ...

: Why Egypt Yes, and Not Cuba?

Why Egypt Yes, and Not Cuba?: "I respond immediately: because in Egypt there are many liberties, this country is not a totalitarian state, in Cuba, still there remains a ..."

Why Egypt Yes, and Not Cuba?

I respond immediately: because in Egypt there are many liberties, this country is not a totalitarian state, in Cuba, still there remains a totalitarian regime.In Cuba no one can do anything unless the government allow it.

Egypt, by contrast, citizens can call to protests, en masse meeting and asked to leave, to the government.The Cubans do not have rights of citizen, the people in Cuba can do not even start a protest, because, there exist controls on persons, from barrio committees to security bodies of the Cuban government, which then in the first signs of people meeting to protest, the Cuban dictatorship jails the people.

Then, how explain the falling of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of "real socialism"?

Because there was a Soviet leader, whom I have always postulated as the most important statesman (but wrong) of the twentieth century. Michail Gorbachev pledged to respect the freedom and human rights, believing that this was possible under real socialism.

But socialism is such as dams or dikes, if they grab a small hole around. the water enters and gradually becomes a flood that sweeps away the dam.

The same thing happened with the Berlin Wall: a small space of freedom, allowed by Gorbachev, finished with all of all communist states.

Because - and this was the mistake by Gorbachev - "MAY NOT EXIST SOCIALISM AND FREEDOM AT THE SAME TIME. Socialism is the negation of personal free will. "

When the Soviet leaders were true socialists, Marxist-Leninists, they did not let even a hint of freedom in the USSR, or the satellite countries.

In Hungary they sent their tanks and smashed in the fifties, the regime of Imre Nagy, who tried open the windows of freedom. They did the same with Czechoslovakia in the 60's, when Dubcek tried to install a"socialism with a human face" (in that sense, was an early Gorbachev).



And Fidel Castro and "the island's communist oligarchy" will never allow to open a space of freedom. So in Cuba, it will not happen as in Egypt, "by right now. "

I say by right now, because Fidel and his closer comrades will not live for ever.

What happens in Egypt is typically a corresponding movement to what I call "herd effect", caused by the media, and the availability of personal communications, massive and instantaneous (cells phone,twitter, facebook). When the Egyptians saw that Tunisian, fell apart with relative facility a not democratic ruler (but not totalitarian) with the simple expedient of taking the streets, they wanted to do the same, because they are countries facing serious economic problems.

The "herd effect" is taking place across the Arab world and several governments will fall. Governments change, but do not systems.There are already many, after all, they agree that Mubarak is not so bad.

Problems of the Egyptians are not going to resolved by a change of administration. Probably achieve more political freedom and reforms.

What about Cuba?

There does not go to happen, nothing like that, because Cuba is ruled by a totalitarian regime, a dictatorship, where the more you get allowed is that the blogger Yoanni Sánchez send her dissenting views to other countries, but without those views, can become known in Cuba.

For sure, over of years the Castro brothers have to go, and then may be, there are elections, and Yoanni is elected as the first democratic president post-communist . But this is mere futurology, science in which I declare myself a dilettante.

If President Hosni Mubarak falls, the entire West will regret it. Jidad!

When we received the news from Egypt, the media makes us believe that those who want to remove Mubarak are democrats. And it is not true!.

Mohammed ElBaradei Nobel Prize is no guarantee if he became the next president of Egypt with the support of the left wing and the “Muslim Brotherhood”. Both groups are enemies of the West and Israel. And that's the main reason for the riots. The only valid security for us in the West, is that in Egypt, they made reform and political transition, backed by the Egypt Army, and to ensure the maintenance of a secular democracy, and a permanent and full peace with Israel, as has been until today.

Democracy as we in the West and Israel understand and practice, is totally opposed to democracy that they are talking about today in Egypt and other Arab countries, that are being convulsed by leftist and religious fundamentalist agitators.

We all think in the West, the Arab world as backward societies and anchored in the Middle Ages, that our world has experienced. We imagine that because we have developed and reached levels of cultural and social exchange, in which the focus is on individual freedom, they go after it.

We are so shallow, that we have not fallen in mind that the Arabs religious fundamentalism provides an opportunity to reconcile the Western development and military power we have generated, our need for oil, with their aspirations to impose their religion on the whole world, neither more nor less than to recover the lost ground, which means converting all infidels to Islam.

These revolts have no other objective than to unite the Arabs to wipe Israel and subdue the West!

President Mubarak has been, is and will be a U.S. ally, is a man who has helped preserve world peace, has ruled strong, with errors, but the result is in sight, Israel and the West have been able to hold up today the "Intifada" or uprising in the Islamic world.

The "Jihad or Holy War" against the Judeo-Christian West has never been abandoned by them, and the "Left Democrats" do not exist.

The military, in Egypt and other Arab countries still America's friends, the West and Israel, they are looking at the actions of our leaders ... if Mubarak's regime falls violently ... sooner or later we'll all regret it.

Egypt deployed about 800 troops in the Sinai Peninsula:

Israel allowed the mobilization of 800 Egyptian soldiers to reinforce security of the zone, at a time when protests seeking to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak extend across the country, Israeli officials said.

Permission was granted following a request from Cairo. Troops have been deployed around the resort Sharm el-Sheikh, South Sinai Peninsula, spokespersons confirmed that Israel had given its approval to the Egyptian request.

Between Israel and Egypt there is a vast desert, and a large part of this territory is demilitarized, according to the 1979 peace treaty between both countries.

Israel Radio said: "Israel turns its eyes to the other side", meanwhile Egypt put forces in the Sinai "in this way is expected to ensure the situation and not get out of control" in that place.



The last time Israel allowed to Cairo to move forces into Sinai, was when Israel pulled its troops from Gaza in 2005, and Egypt placed border guards to prevent weapons smuggling by Palestinian militants.

Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1979. Peace agreement that the forces opposed to Mubarak reject among other things. Under the agreement, Israel withdrew its troops from Sinai desert that had been captured in the Middle East war of1967. Israel completed its withdrawal in 1982. The Treaty of Peace between Israel and Egypt, and the demilitarization of the area has contributed to secure much of the western border of Israel, and it has prevented the loss of Israeli lives.

Chile:Voices from the Gulag*

(Note:*Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, winner of the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature, introduced the term to the Western world with the 1973 publication of his The Gulag Archipelago).
You can not believe it, today in Chile there are "Gulags"

Yes, those camps for political prisoners. For prisoners who do not apply the laws, fields such as the USSR and which Solzhenitsyn described for us, so dramatically. These political prisoners locked up in Chile can end their lives in prison, but with an addition: do not even having the rights of regular prisoners.

One such prisoner is an officer of Russian descent, Brigadier (r)Miguel Krassnoff. Gisela Silva Encina historian, wrote a book about him, which has had and has good sale: The book is entitled "Miguel Krassnoff," Prisoner, having served Chile "(In Spanish: “"Miguel Krassnoff, Prisionero por Servir a Chile") . It was edited by Alfonso Marquez de la Plata, a brave and exemplary Chilean citizen which has been a champion of the historical truth and he continues publishing books that establish, restore and defend the truth of Chile.

On Thursday, January 27 recent past, in Moscow, at the headquarters of the Foundation of Slavic Literature and Culture ", located in the passage Chernigovskiy, 9/13-2 (Tetriakovskaya metro station), there was a presentation of the book edited in the Russian Language. I was invited but I was unable to attend.

The Russians have a very different impression of the Military Government and the former President Augusto Pinochet, that ruled Chile between 1973 and 1990. Even is very different than the West in general and the majority of Chile itself, characterized by poor memory, and the tendency to accept the systematic brainwashing.

It can not be any other way, the Russian people lived 70 years under communism, so they know what it is, and understand how much you should be grateful to a Military Government and a soldier like Brigadier(r) Miguel Krassnoff for what they did.

Krassnoff is a political prisoner, and perhaps more unjustly than others, because he has been convicted for acts that did not participate. We're not talking about amnesty or "Statutes of Limitations. " We're talking about, that the judges of the Chilean left, are dictating Justice and one them , most notably, Alejandro Solis, is holding a grudge against Miguel Krassnoff, brazenly.

The father and the grandfather of this honorable Chilean soldier, they ethnically White Russians(Cossacks), were executed by the Communists in Moscow's Red Square, and his mother was granted asylum in Chile through our ambassador in Austria, in 1945.

The fact is that Brigadier(r) Miguel Krassnoff is convicted in numerous trials for crimes that were not properly known neither in relation to him. And they do charge to him, saying that he was part of the " DINA Chief Officers (National Intelligence Directorate). in circumstances where he was a Lieutenant in 1973 and between him and "DINA Chief Officers. " there were hundreds other officers, with a higher graduation than him.

Is that, he committed the sin that leftist judges will not ever forgive:

The young officer Lieutenant Miguel Krassnoff, at that time heroically confronted Miguel Enriquez, leader of the MIR, Chilean terrorist group, and he killed him in combat when he was trying to capture a terrorist cell, for this he was awarded by the Army in 1974.

Gulag prisoners in Chile, have very few voices to defend them. These voices are "samiszdats (underground newspapers that circulated in the USSR) in Chile today. There is a digital"samiszdat" "THE ELEVEN IN A GREAT MONTH .Chile Report section (El Once de un Gran Mes. seccion Chile Informa), which appears daily, which publishes the constant abuse suffered for all “uniformed political prisoners” that exist in Chile actually.

But the mainstream press, and media that is supposedly politically correct, they do not take the information from our "samiszdats".

So all the information given to know that in Chile there are persecuted and imprisoned, to which they are denied fundamental human rights. In particular one that relates, to apply existing laws to them. The result is: not only they are marginalized from the "Rule of Law", but even, that that everyone knows the unjust situation of them it is almost 99 percent no chance.

In the section "Chile Report" of our “samiszdat “The Eleven in a Great Month”, three cases have already appeared in these days: one, the Army officer in the rank of Major (r) Carlos Herrera Jiménez, sentenced to double life imprisonment for the murder of Tucapel Jimenez and Juan Alegria.

In this case according to the judges, do not apply "Amnesty Law" (1978) neither “Statutes of Limitation”, but you can say that if he had been a terrorist from FPMR or MIR, and he would have killed two people today he would be free, ¿Why?

Because the former President Patricio Aylwin used his powers to give pardons, to all terrorists, no matter how bloody and many ... that would have been the crimes.

Please read carefully the following ...

After having served 23 years in prison, the Major(r) Carlos Herrera has the right to leave jail on Sunday. The worst criminals have it. For this purpose is necessary, the Technical Board of the Prison Service's approval, and must be ratified by the signature of the Director of the service.

On two occasions the Technical Board has approved it, because his excellent conduct, improvement work and also he have an honorable and exemplary family, Major Carlos Herrera has no criminal record in his private life.

And do you want to know the name of the person, who denied the right to leave jail on Sunday to Carlos Herrera? Nothing less than the Director of the Prison Service appointed by the current President Sebastián Piñera, named Juan Masferrer.

For sure, Major(r) Carlos Herrera is a political prisoner (he have not, for political reasons, the legal rights of ordinary prisoners), and the Rightist people in Chile "took away" the Military Government, because they do not want to be “contaminated”.

Of course...What will say communists... if Carlos Herrera, Gets his legal right to leave jail on Sundays?.

Another case, and this is really dramatic: Major (r) Carlos Minoletti, resident in the U.S.A. with his family until 2007, he knew about a case of "human rights", case that he was mentioned, while being completely innocent.

He was summoned to testify. He believed that in Chile there was “Rule of Law. And he returned to Chile completely sure of his innocence, but a leftist judge, arbitrarily put him in a process in 2008.

The Mayor (r)Minoletti has a heart condition and six bypasses. He has health insurance in the U.S., and this insurance does not apply in Chile. In the present fiive of the bypasses are blocked. He has shown his situation, to the Prosecutor of the left, and to the President of the Supreme Court to obtain authorization to travel to the U.S.A, for major surgery that he needs and that is covered by his insurance. They do not care. He also wrote a letter to President Piñera and his wife, and they read his letter:

And they answered saying that “his situation was not a matter for them”....

It is a situation of humanity, which should not be ignored

Of course, the military family vote for Pinera, and the vote was deposited already, and now all abuses over political prisoners in uniforms, are not concern to the President, because for voters is too late to repent. Voters are cooked and eaten!

A third case is Captain (r) of Police Alex Cantin, indicted for events in Tocopilla 34 years ago ruled under a Law of Amnesty and the “Statutes of Limitation” , twice in court!, processes 230-89 of the Military Court of Antofagasta and 3231-90 of the Criminal Court of Tocopilla.

In both trials was completely acquitted. In one, the complainants belonging to the left complained about the verdict, in the Supreme Court, and the Court confirmed the acquittal of Captain(r)Cantín. (And that was because even in 1990, had not left majority in the Supreme Court, so laws were applied).

Well, now the red attorneys have succeeded on Captain Cantín charges, they are cases already closed, in which there are double trial verdict. Now, leftist justice is done, he is being prosecuted, and he is on bail.

In the years that have passed the Captain (r) Cantín has studied law, and he is ready to be called to the bar, but the Supreme Court denied the title, because he is on trial in the courts of the left.

These things happen in a Chilean gulag.

And only you can know its only through the "samiszdats"such as the section "Chile Report, " and also in this blog, which is justified,even if with the only use for this.
