Venezuela is the only country I know of whose Embassy employees in Washington are regularly commissioned to harass bloggers. Honestly, I don’t understand how this can be legal. We all get emails from them.

They are worse than that, though – their crazed leftist “press” minions on the Internet, who have some sort of relationship with them, post bloggers’ home addresses, work places, phone numbers and e-mails on their sites. They also have called bloggers’ employers and attempted to get them fired. And of course they try desperately to find out who some of us are. This is all perfectly documented. It’s what they do.

The blogger they hate and fear most is Alek Boyd at VCrisis. His brilliant research exposing their financial networks and assorted chicaneries through Freedom of Information Act documents is unequalled and an extraordinary service to the United States of America.

They’ve definitely gone after him in the past, publishing his home address and making threatening statements about his children. But Alek does not back down. Now, they are trying to contact him about his postings of U.S. FOIA public documents, asking him to do the exact opposite of what they themselves have done to him. Read it here.

It’s chutzpah that defies belief.
