The expected coup came yesterday. Hugo Chavez was arrested.
Of course they claim he resigned. 
A military 'oilocracy' will be reestablished.

The puppy obedient media will distort what really happened
so as to avoid having to kick Venezuala out of the OAS, FTA
negotiations etc. They require democracy for membership.
Venezuala's short experiment in real democracy is over.

Next door in Colombia the ELN declared the oil companies
to have become legitimate military targets--that is 
the companies themselves, not just the pipelines.

Those interested in comparing first-hand witness reports of
what happened yesterday in Caracas with the story as
spun for our consumption can go here:
