Carlos Herrera: Hitting a raw nerve when the right questions are inconveniently asked

VHeadline commentarist Carlos Herrera writes: I see that Aleksander Boyd, Editor and of VCrisis and Founder of ProVeo did not waste any time in replying to my article pointing out the terrorist comments in his Editor’s Note of November 2.

His rambling reply using quotes from (London) Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir John Stevens as some form of justification of self-defense totally misses the mark ... and is absolutely irrelevant when, hopefully incitement to terrorism charges are brought against this Venezuelan exile.

He has no option but to justify his actions ... and it will serve very little using Article 350 of the Bolivarian Constitution as a “get out” for what he wrote on November 2.

  • The British authorities will just “laugh him into court” as they will have no truck with such spurious arguments.

Boyd's organization "ProVeO is an NGO legally registered in London, incorporation No. 4706973, and therefore bound to British laws.  VCrisis is the news (?) outlet of ProVeO" ... so despite his incoherent disclaimer his statements may be actionable under the British law.

Even though he lives in the UK, Boyd has a lot to learn.

For example, in his reply to Roy Carson ... when in fact he should reply to me as the author of the article ... he says: “I have seen people in Speaker’s Corner utter all sorts of pejorative remarks and insults against the current administration, the monarchy and every imaginable constituted power” -- as far as I know this is a constitutional protection applied only to Speaker's Corner because of its proximity to the old Tyburn gallows (Marble Arch) where the condemned were allowed to have their final words.

So stuff that in your pipe and smoke it, Mr. Boyd!

Boyd's fixation with Roy Carson is interesting and obvious since he cannot measure up to Carson’s professionality as a foreign correspondent of more than 40 years experience. Read Boyd’s CV posted in his site -- he has never had a career as such, and only runs his NGO and VCrisis with money provided by the fascist right-wing opposition in Venezuela, and even from the anti-Cuban and anti-Venezuelan maniacs in Miami. Who knows?

Boyd is right when he says that Britain is a place “where judges can not be bossed around”, as he will have the pleasure and experience of finding out as a new chapter in his life unfolds.

Dear Aleksander: I am pleased that you appreciate the transparency of British justice,, as you are now scared of the consequences of what you have written and are putting up a false front of bravado...

The problem is that if/when you get arrested or detained you'll try to immortalize yourself as a victim or sacrificial lamb, when you have consistently thrown so much dirt at others that you are now so very sensitive at getting your comeuppance.

  • Twittering on about the “Chavez regime” and how evil it is, will not stop the police from banging you up, Boyd.

Most London bobbies wouldn't even know where Venezuela is on the mapi mundi.  They carry out their duty and ... a friendly word of advice ... don’t try to bribe them as you might try on in Venezuela. Bribing a police officer is a penal offense in Great Britain.

Boyd’s sham defense as a whole is otherwise just shooting off his over-exercised mouth as a huge tangent. Boyd does not deny that he wrote the offending November 2 article ... and goes on a rampage against Roy Carson attempting to discredit him.  The police will not care about Roy Carson ... he has not written or published anything of the sort that Boyd is so good at doing ... mud-slinging, hate-Venezuela threats to a sovereign country and its government.

Nobody wants to silence VCrisis ... but incitement to terrorism is simply NOT acceptable.

Boyd: Write whatever you want in VCrisis ... criticize Chavez, his ministers, government policy ... that's your elementary and democratic right, afforded under Venezuela's 1999 Bolivarian Constitution as well.

  • But there are limits and YOU have overstepped the mark ... besides which, dummy, it is the British authorities who will take you to court not VHeadline.com.

VHeadline.com's massive reader reach around the world will ensure that many thousands of right thinking people will know the terrorist line you tread in London and that, in the not too distant future you will be brought to book for it.

sincerely, very sincerely,
Carlos Herrera

Our editorial statement reads:
VHeadline.com Venezuela is a wholly independent e-publication promoting democracy in its fullest expression and the inalienable right of all Venezuelans to self-determination and the pursuit of sovereign independence without interference. Our stance is decidedly pro-governance (defined as being contrary to anarchy) and pro-government to the extent that we support all and any government policies aimed at consolidating and improving the living conditions and future prosperity of ALL Venezuelans, regardless of race, color or creed. We also seek to shed an international spotlight on nefarious practices and corruption which, for decades, has strangled this South American nation's development and progress. In every respect VHeadline Venezuela's declared editorial bias is most definitely pro-Constitutional, pro-Democracy and pro-VENEZUELA.
