As stated, only in Chávez’s Venezuela, where mediocrity, lack of judgment, and voluntary abjection are the most valued traits, can someone as deficient as Eva Golinger achieve positions of relative importance. Eva has taken it upon herself to promote from her pulpit certain measures that hinder the legitimate work of Venezuelan NGOs. The recent law prohibiting NGOs from accepting donations from foreign entities is a prime example. Immersed in her red monotony, Eva does not wish to recognize that the law she is now proposing would have deprived her “beloved, indispensable, tireless, and unique Commander President Hugo Chávez” of the $1.5 million received from BBVA (see pp. 5 and 7), back when the funds from Venezuela were not at the disposal of the communist leader back in 1999.
However, Eva needs to be educated. It must be explained to this unbalanced individual that the policies pursued by her so-called “beloved” leader are leading Cuba, the source of all Chavist wisdom, to lay off 25% of its public employees, after 52 years—yes, 52 years—of a “successful, progressive, and egalitarian” communist revolution. In other words, the communist dictatorship of Cuba, which has 11 million inhabitants, is going to dismiss 1.3 million people; that is, more than 10% of its population is going to be unemployed because the only employer, the Castro regime, is broke. And we have spent 52 years hearing that Cuba is a paradise of happiness, the epitome of social welfare. “Indispensable,” of course, is the leader, for Eva and many other degenerates who live lavishly disseminating Chávez’s socialist realism, since without him, they wouldn’t have emerged from the darkness of mediocrity and deficiency even in Venezuela. But I insist, she needs to be educated. While the Cuban dictators seek to open up to capitalism, Chávez drags Venezuela toward communism, an ideology that, despite being well past its prime, has no successful example anywhere in the world to refer to. Not a single one. Of course, Eva doesn’t know that. In the books she reads, there are only American empires, Yankee armies, and North American intelligence agencies. China and Russia are portrayed as examples of freedom and dignity, where civil and political liberties are fully observed and where human rights are respected without exception. In Eva’s garden, dictators aren’t in China, Cuba, or Zimbabwe. No way. They are in the White House, or Downing Street, or La Moncloa, where oppressors have been installed since 1949, or 1959, or 1980. The Chinese, Cuban, and Zimbabwean people live in absolute fullness. If Eva were Cuban, she might have already lost her citizenship or become a target of the regime, as has happened to Yoani Sanchez. But since she is American, and also a Chavista, she merely publishes books in Cuba, supported by the communist regime. In those books, which Yoani cannot publish, there’s no mention of the more than 100 million deaths caused by communism. Those books don’t even refer, even in passing, to the Russian gulag, the re-education camps for Cuban homosexuals, or the Chinese laogai. Eva lives in a pretty, albeit monochrome, world where there is only space for the “one.” One color, one leader, one thought. There is no desire or need to explore beyond the dictates of the anointed one. In the Golingerian dimension, crime does pay. Terrorists are appointed security chiefs in ministries. Wives of terrorists are appointed trusted secretaries of presidents and vice presidents. Stateless communists lead congresses. Foreign mercenaries are in charge of national security. Drug traffickers are promoted to generals, and coup plotters and murderers become ambassadors, ministers, presidents, and supreme leaders.
Then there is the real world, where NGOs operate, stripped of funding in Venezuela, partly thanks to Eva. Eva, who once claimed to be the director of an American NGO, had no qualms about accepting payments from a foreign entity, namely the Chavista regime, to carry out her “work” of disseminating propaganda in violation of her country’s laws. Eva, who once had the audacity to denounce Maria Corina Machado and Súmate for receiving $138,000 from public entities of the U.S. government, was approved for a “revolutionary credit” of $3.2 million. That said, not all are Evas in the real world. Those working, or who have worked, for NGOs dedicated to defending human, civil, and political rights give no small headaches to the dictators that Eva loves so much, exposing the abuses and barbarity characteristic of regimes that are far from progressive. And that’s why there is persecution in countries like Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, and Ecuador—deemed exemplary by Eva. The U.S., Eva’s country of origin, has not yet expelled directors of international human rights NGOs. That honor belongs to Venezuela. The U.S. has not arrested anyone for giving away computers. That honor belongs to Cuba. The U.S. has not amended its constitution to allow lynching and other discriminatory and brutal methods of punishment, in violation of due process. That honor belongs to Bolivia. The U.S. has not arrested any governor for publicly stating that the president of that country is a jerk. That honor belongs to Ecuador.
Eva, and her Bolivarian Adam, will suffer the same fate as the original parents. Like true communists, they coveted and appropriated what was forbidden and foreign, and they too will be expelled from the Land of Grace. Sooner or later.
