For those of us who are watching V in ABC, reality has become blurred with fantasy and science fiction. There seems to be a visitor army in Venezuela. It has taken the country over in a period of almost twelve years. Little by little, this invasive army has advanced in the conquest of Venezuela's multiple sectors of society. Social and political discussion has shifted over the years to the agenda set forth by the government led by the supreme commander and president.
Instead of discussing and planning for development and advancement of the social, scientific, economic and educational agenda, we have spent the most of the last decades arguing on issues that have long passed in the 21 century. Probably, the agenda set by the regime is more in tune with the classroom setting of Venezuela's institutions of higher learning.
Our visitors and the visitors from the TV series want the same thing, control the earth resources; including us; we have become a resource to be exploited and manipulated by the visitors. It seems a paradox, that a revolution based on Marxist ideology, has in fact slaved Venezuelans into poverty and alienation. Little by little, we all have become poorer and alienated from the sources of power. The revolution and participative democracy have concentrated social, political and economic power into very few hands. The supreme leader has become Anna, a manipulative being who abuses popularity to increase personal power. Meanwhile, the visitors offer free clinics and miracle cures developed with alien science and technology to entice the people with false hopes of a better future.
And so the saga continues...
