Venezuela govt LIES: Diodado Cabello's picture showing war weapons held by anti-chavista is a fake!

[ChangoLoa]

Talk about manipulating the truth and creating fear with lies...

Last night during his show "hitting with the sledgehammer" on the main state TV channel (VTV), D. Cabello (the president of Ven. National Assembly) aired this very spectacular image of a supposed arsenal of war weapons held by a retired general called Vivas, a notorious anti-chavista right-winger*.



As you can see, it was actually the picture of an airsoft guns rental shop in the US...

So here you have THE most important man of the regime after the president caught using fake pictures and trying to manipulate the public opinion on national TV.

Someone said manipulation and lies?

*Vivas is currently barricaded in his house with an assault rifle in his hands as he refuses to be arrested. He is accused of moral complicity in a murder case. The arrest order was given after a PSUV biker died in a anti-bike trap which was probably put by rioters during a recent night protest. Neighbors are surrounding his house in order to prevent the cops from intervening.

2. I've seen manipulated photos from both sides.

Including one from a demonstration in Chile, and one from a porn movie. No rational person is going to support anyone based on what they see on the internet.

3. well, the head of the national assembly egregiously and purposefully lying vs. any dork

on the internet with a computer including those chavistas who could post pictures from WWII or whatever just so people can then accuse the opposition of lying.

4. One thing is random people posting up wrong info/images on social media,...

... another is one of the highest figures of a political party blatantly getting caught in the act of misinformation and lies. You tell me which side is being more irresponsible or should be taken more seriously.

5. yep, and you just know there are those who will purposefully post false images

just so it can be claimed that the opposition is posting false images.

6. There's a difference between random tweets and a national broadcast.

7. And they lied when they asked for peace while the GN

following Maduro's orders , do things like this:

8. Any thought from the pro-regime folks? This is a pretty outrageous manipulation of the truth. nt

[Bacchus4.0]

9. they are ok with the lies n/t

[Flatulo]

10. I'm sure they are. I just want to see how this can get spun. nt

[Bacchus4.0]

11. you won't see them condemning Diosdado thats for sure n/t

[joshcryer]

12. They didn't condemn Maduro for his homophobic slurs.

In fact they doubted the translation and acted as if it was misinformation. Maduro literally used the worst slur against gay people you can possibly use, and he didn't get a drop of criticism.

13. was that the same show as the paint ball guy killed by the National Guard

its hard to keep the chavistas' lies straight.

[Flatulo]

14. It's been a few days... Where are the regime defenders in this? They repeatedly ask for

proof that the pro-government media is unreliable. This looks like a pretty compelling smoking gun, to me.

15. the cruel and disgraceful comments by DIosdado about the "paintball paramilitary" man

who was killed is pretty much as low as you can go.

Tamara Pearson from venanalysis wrote about Cabello's comments but never bothered to mention that the photos were from paintball and not of a paramilitary unit. Chavistas cannot and won't tell the truth.

Cabello also claimed that Alejandro Marquez, who died on Sunday, was killed by the rightwing. Cabello argued on public television that Marquez was killed because he didn’t fulfil a mission he was paid to do. According to Cabello, Marquez received paramilitary training, and he showed photos of Marquez using snipers while he was training in the US. He also showed Tweets where Marquez discussed killing president Nicolas Maduro.

Private opposition media La Patilla reported that that Marquez died “beaten up by the GNB (Bolivarian National Guard) in an [opposition] protest”.

However Cabello argued that rightwing sectors are using Uribe, “to bring hired killers here to kill people in the barricades and violent protests and later say that it was the government”.

16. I agree, the deafening silence is at the very least shameful, and at worst, cruelly cynical.

It looks more and more obvious.
