Aleksander Boyd, who publishes the blog Vcrisis from London, has proven to us to be a relaible source of news on the Castroite Chavez regime of Venezuela. Most recently, he scooped the world press in reporting on a nonsensical raid on a Jewish school in Caracas.
Another blog, Vheadline.com, which seems to take a pro-Chavez perspective, has taken to attacking Aleks mercilessly. It is now calling him "socially racist" and a "terrorist" in addition to a "traitor."
Aleks is a brave and honest patriot, resisting a thuggish left wing regime, as far as we can tell. We wish him well. It can be a high honor to be denounced in these terms, depending on who is slionging the insults.

This represents the typical tyranny common to the socialist utopia. I hope Mr. Boyd takes care with his safety. These tin-pot communist wannabees sound like they are unhinged.
To be honest, I think this is the first shot in a coming war against bloggers in Venezuela, which is coming on the heels of the media-gag law that chavez's rubber-stamp parliament has just passed.
I notice that bloggers are starting to practice self-censorship in little ways - I think they've all been threatened now, Boyd most publicly. The communists will stop at nothing to keep us from getting the news. Beware.
