Vcrisis was, in short, the personal endeavour of someone whose discontentment, towards the politicians of his country (Venezuela), reached such unbearable levels that he decided to take action, and provide a counterbalance to the official multi million dollar propagandistic effort, rolled out by the Hugo Chavez regime. This effort, however, could not have been successful without the collaboration of outstanding individuals, who have provided much needed support and opinions, in the form of articles throughout the years. Special recognition goes to the webmaster of the site, and utmost admiration to Daniel Duquenal and Miguel Octavio, whose blogging from the thick of things has become, at least from my own perspective, that very elusive and ever so difficult to find source of objective information.

In October 2002, when this site was started, Hugo Chavez was the darling of the Left. Today, he is the darling of a small fringe of fundamentalists, terrorists, and radicals. Since, links with narcoterrorists organizations, such as FARC, have been properly exposed and corroborated by INTERPOL. The systematic violations of civil, political and human rights under Hugo Chavez's tenure, have also been amply documented by reputed human rights NGOs, such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, as well as by hemispheric multilateral bodies. Here the latest indictment against Venezuela issued by Inter American Commission of Human Rights, published 24 February 2010. The militaristic nature of his regime is another defining characteristic. Therefore, what needed exposing has been thouroughly exposed.

The editorial line of this site was based upon the criteria of its editor and founder, Alek Boyd, and the financial maintenance of it was met entirely by him since day one.
