I will never forget what the USA did to millions of innocent people
by Oscar Heck
I have been gone for several days ... away from home and internet ... on the road. Many things had been going through my mind, one of which was to respond to all the people who have emailed me recently ... and that is a substantial number. Finally, after many hours, I have been able to respond to everyone ... except for two anti-Chavez people from whom my responses bounce back. In other words, I respond to them, but they will never receive my answer. I asked my wife the other day, why is it that some people (only anti-Chavez, coincidentally) write me letters, insulting me and throwing their raging, conscienceless spit at me ... yet I cannot respond to them because my emails bounce back? She replied that it is because they block my emails or they are simply using forged aliases.
Boy, am I naive or what! "Dum-dum!"
Here I am spending hours responding, as I believe I should, no matter how disgusting and violent some emails may be ... but I am essentially wasting my time. Some of the letter-writers actually expect me to not answer them! Why then do they write to me? I don't understand. What are they afraid of? My response to them? I rarely swear (although they often do) and I rarely use condescending words or phrases, even when addressing letter-writers who promise to have me, "the scum," assassinated.
Oh well, such is life.
Now ... I would like to bring up a subject which I believe is important. I do not appreciate people putting words in my mouth, thinking they are "so smart." (I can clearly picture them grinning like devilish imps, bragging to their psycho-friends about how they "outsmarted" Oscar Heck and sent him away scurrying like an injured rat!)
There's a letter-writer, Charles Dewey, on which I will only expend a few words, who recently wrote, "According to Mr. Heck, it is alright for a man to beat his wife, steal from his neighbor, or commit murder, as long as he keeps his activities contained to the poor side of town."
I never said nor implied any such thing!
I say to anyone out there who thinks they are so "smart" and wish to "outsmart me" or stomp me to the ground or set me on fire, do not put words in my mouth. It is dishonest and without-conscience. What I mean is simple ... if someone reads Dewey's article without reading mine, the reader may incorrectly assume that Dewey, the liar (not an insult, the truth!), is telling the truth. Dewey, as most rabid anti-Chavez people I have dealt with for close to 4 years, uses such tactics ... deception.
Yes, there are times when such people finally come to the point of self-destruction in terms of their credibility ... but the important thing here is the fact that through their use of deception, they are negatively affecting innocent people ... mostly, the innocent people who voted for Chavez ... the majority of the Venezuelan population ... the majority of whom are poor ... who are striving to create a more equitable Venezuela.
The use of deception can be compared to the USA's use of deception to invade Iraq. There were no "Weapons of Mass Destruction," just as I never said what Dewey claims I said.
On to another issue. I received many emails, almost exclusively from proponents of the violent anti-Chavez movement. Most of these emails were related to the article I wrote recently about how the opposition (opposition to Chavez) is using "increased violence in Venezuela" as a Chavez punching bag ...
Every such letter was, as usual, unsigned. The following are some excerpts. It again shows, as usual, the depth of violence which these people so fluidly project. Have fun.
Letter No.1
"No subject: Listen, the FACTS speak for themselves all over the world: CHAVEZ is no NO GOOD to anybody, any country,to Venezuela: He and his gang have destroyed the very essence of what Venezuela is. From your lack of reason i infer that you are getting paid good money to defend the beasts. I hope you do not regret your possition when your time comes."
For readers: I do not get paid by anyone to write what I write. I wish I did, I could spend much more time investigating and writing ... supporting true democracy in Venezuela, supporting the traditionally exploited Venezuelan majority ... those Venezuelans who have been traditionally exploited and abused by the majority of the people who hate Chavez ... the minority wealthy, mostly racist and mostly whiter-skinned, mid-to-upper classes.
Letter No.2
"Subject - retardation: You really must be insane,there are many problems with the USA but it is pure trash to blame everything that goes wrong Americans,grow up,clean your own doorstep,stop thinking you live in Paradise,I believe that people who throw mud at someone else all the time have more to hide than the ones they are throwing it at."
Hey, I, "the retard" (?), do throw mud at the USA ... and I will continue to do so. If this letter-writer had seen what I saw in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War in 1991, he/she might also throw mud, and perhaps boulders at his/her own "grand" USA, murderers par excellence!
Letter No.3
"Ni siquiera los mediocres articulos que leo en su pagina web que de paso esta tan mal disenada. Ni eso puede usted hacer bien, o los que trabajan para usted. Soy una ciudadana comun profundamente decepcionada de un gobierno inutil, barato, indecente, mediocre, hostil, mentiroso y escaparate de atrocidades ... Solo es el reflejo de una cantidad de Venezolanos muy pobres que viven en cerros y que no tiene ni la menor idea de lo que estan haciendo ... Siga viviendo en su burbuja de jabon Sr Oscar, lo felicito."
Translation: "Not even the mediocre articles that I read on your web page, which by the way, is so badly designed ... even that, you cannot do well, or those who work for you. I an a common citizen profoundly disappointed in a government (he/she refers to the Chavez government) which is useless, cheap, indecent, mediocre, hostile, lying and a showcase for its atrocities ... It is only a reflection of a (large) quantity of very poor Venezuelans who live on the hills (he/she means slums) and who have no idea what they are doing ... Keep on living in your soap bubble Mr. Oscar, congratulations."
The above letter-writer started off the letter rather calmly, but by the end it became a typical anti-Chavez letter. Most anti-Chavez people use terms (usually adjectives, for lack of logical argument) designed to insult or debase others ... words like mediocre, useless, etc. ... and/or sarcasm, such as, "congratulations!"
Letter No.4
"Oscar 'tinfoil hat' Heck needs to quit trying to minimize the problem of crime (and others) in Venezuela. An interesting point is he claims that innocent people are rarely killed, yet says a large number of murders result when victims of mugging do not cooperate. Since when are 'victims of muggings' not innocent?"
(I don't know what s/he means by "tinfoil hat" ... but it sounds rather funny, even though it may be meant as some kind of "sly" insult ... lol ...)
Again, putting words in my mouth ... I never said, "large number of murders result when victims do no cooperate."
In fact, as far as I remember, the number of people murdered through muggings (by not cooperating with robbers) is quite low ... something in the range of less than 5% of all murders committed. Regarding who is "innocent" or not "innocent," generally-speaking, anyone with a brain well-bolted onto their body will know that if you refuse to collaborate with a mugger (or a group of muggers), you are "asking for trouble."
It's common sense.
If someone comes yelling to me, black eye and blood flowing from his broken nose and blurts out "I just got mugged! They surrounded me and demanded I hand over my knapsack and money ... but I refused to give it to them, the bastards! Hey, I wasn't gonna give in, you know, those guys are criminals! I told them to F-OFF ... and then they tried to take my bag ... but I kicked them hard, the bastards. One of them took out a gun and hit me across the face with it. I dropped like a fly and the other one kicked me in the eye ... and others beat the crap out of me too. They took my stuff!" ... I would reply something to the effect, "You asked for it 'dum-dum' -- as the alien in The Flintstones would say -- ! Why didn't you give them your bag and money and ask them to leave you with at least a bit of money to take a bus ... and ask them not to take your travel journal or other important things you want to keep but that they can't use or sell?"
It is pretty obvious to me that my invented "dum-dum" friend was not necessarily an "innocent" victim. In other words, he was in innocent victim of robbery, but he was certainly not a innocent victim of violence!
It comes down to common sense.
Now .. for all you Chavez-haters out there ... I will continue to investigate and write against the violent anti-Chavez sectors (people) who use deception, lies, malice and violence to express their frustrations or points of views.
I will never forget the crimes committed by the violent Venezuelan opposition (opposition to Chavez) against the millions of innocent Venezuelans (the majority poor!) in 2002 and 2003.
For all those out there, including the Chavez-haters (who are usually USA-lovers) , who support, espouse or promote the USA ... just to let you know ... I will continue to investigate and write against the USA, against its psychopathic leaders, against its criminal government, against its lying mainstream media, against its rotten human "values," against "Free Trade," against its inhuman social system and against its generally violent, arrogant and coercive nature.
I will never forget what the USA did to millions of innocent people during and after the Gulf War.
There's no excuse!
