Leonel To Address Nation About Defecit
Well, I don't know much about DR politics. I do know this. That Guillermo Moreno guy's wife was a judge at JCE, she was pensioned with 175k DOP a month and she's only 54 years old. Also, while acting as a judge at the JCE she held another position within the government (I forgot which), and was paid for both (which is against DR constitution). I never heard Moreno saying anything about it. So much for his credibility, IMO...
looks like he is
now the FB pages are saying that all local media are saying that CNN is saying that all local media are being silent about the protests
are they?

I really don't want to offend you, but for a journalist, your posts are rather incoherent. So far, what you write doesn't really make sense to me. Care to put this in a comprehensible form?
no actually, I am not posting for you. I am posting for an underground team of journalists who are covering this story from around the gulf.
lots of little gulfs.. north and southern hemishperes
sorry you missed the first act
no reruns
real life
must move on
one reason we might be having a local media or even global media black out Gustavo Cisneros
sorry did not mean to be so abrupt with you since you are the only other human here at the table.
ok. Let me see if I can encapsulate it better for you.
I do not know how much you know about the history of the island but you must know that Haiti was a French colony, right? and that every foreign imperial power in the world has been after this island since Columbus.. the Brits, the Spanish, the French, the Italians, the Danish, the Dutch, the Germans, the Yanks.. EVERYONE wants this place. Look they really want Haiti too but they agree that the FRENCH are the only ones who can handle HAiti.
So after the earthquaker. they find that between Haiti and Cuba there is the HUGE oil deposit.. which makes Venezuela look poor and EVEERYONE is courting Leonel and the PLD. The Yanks want him, The EU wants him.. He even thinks that Chavez wants him because Fenetrano is in with him. They give him what he has to do.. They.. being.. well.. THEY .. the Coaltion of Foreign Investors.
Does that hielp?
Ok so everything is cool. But something backfires. The timing is bad. New York is in complete black out. and Suddenly there is an organized uprising against the anointed sovereign,. who thought the fix was in with everyone at the table.
Does that make better sense now?
A page from Danilo's personal journal has been leaked to the public............
Frank,
This has got to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I have not been able to stop laughing as yet. Where the heck did you get this from? If I was able to give 1000 likes to your post I would.
Why are they courting Leonel? Because the Dominicans have the technical know how to extract the oil. They have the workers to get the roads and infrstructure in place in Haiti to get the platforms built and the rigs up and in... They are the only ones who can get work done with the Haitians. Most Europeans are Terrified of Haitians. Dominicans are the crew bosses.
More to Mariot.. ok. Leonel derives his support from his NY base. Most Dominicans.. and foreigners.. think.. or thought, at least, that he is a very smart guy. To date, the most sophisticated political organizing work that has appeared on this island has been the work OF Leonel.
This is against him.
And it did not come from NYC. Turn on the local news channels for NYC which I get here in SD and NYC is still dealing with floods and power outages and the worst storm that it has EEVER Seen.

That particular reference was in reference to a tangle that I had with the Presidential Guard who was preventing the Politur from coming to my apartment in Las Terrenas to investigate a robbery. I am known to Poluitur there. Just as I am known to the Presidential Guard, as a credentialed member of the international press. I presented my credentials to them personally at the Palace years ago.
The drug problem in the Dominican Republic
According to Diario Libre, drug trafficking gangs from Colombia and Venezuela are stepping up their efforts to evade the authorities with the aim of converting the Dominican Republic into their main center for stockpiling drugs, and are trying to bring in large consignments of cocaine by sea, as the air routes have been compromised since the Super Tuscan airplanes have been operating and now the unmanned Predator as well.
Anti-drug authorities have confiscated 6,807.72 kilos of cocaine so far this year, which was being shipped by these large drug networks, intent on using the DR to send cocaine to Europe and the United States by taking planes full of pure cocaine from Colombia to the Venezuelan jungle and then by sea to the east and south coasts of the Dominican Republic.
They tend to pass by the Curacao coast, as it is the most direct route. They also try to use the Multimodal Caucedo Port, and then they have then been able to get the drugs to shore with the help of 73 police and military officers who were subsequently identified and who have been dismissed for high treason against the country.
The National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) has also confiscated US$977,453 and RD$4,456,240 in cash.
On June 6 2012, in an operation led by the DNCD and the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) a 500kg cocaine shipment was found in the possession of six Dominicans going from Miches to Puerto Rico, who were arrested and sent to Puerto Rico to be charged there.
On the same day in Bavaro the DNCD stopped Jose Luis Veloz Pimentel, who was in a truck with 37 kilos of cocaine.
In July 2012, in another operation involving the DEA and the DNCD, 767 kilos of cocaine were confiscated near the Soco River, and in the same month another 31 kilos were found in Caucedo port ready to leave the country for Puerto Rico.
On August 10 2012, the DNCD and DEA found 115 kilos of cocaine and half a million pesos in three suitcases on a boat off the coast of Boca de Yuma, Higuey.
During all this time the DNCD has fired 73 agents including senior as well as junior members. One of the most recent cases involved a Police colonel, Edwin Calderon Castillo and Lieutenant Colonel Jose Antonio Polanco Rodriguez, both accused of protecting drug traffickers.

from today's DR1 news..
New FB group fotos today of protests against the government in Miami and Paris
This of course, will be so much EASIER to do when the true LEFT wins the election in 2016 and the DR can withdraw from DR CAFTA and join ALBA. Then PetroCaribe from Venezuela can come in and drill off Cuba. And the super Tuscans can be put to their true purpose which was not for protection against the drug trafficers but rather in aid of them. *just a hunch.. just a hunch..
I'm sorry, but I seriously doubt this. Oil extraction, specially in open sea is something only a handful of specialized companies can handle. There is absolutely no know-how in DR on how to extract oil, for obvious reasons...
Venezuela, and even arab countries, have to count on private investment to get oil from difficult places...and they have been oil producing countries for almost 100 years...
