Un texte de Juan Gonzales, dans le New York Daily News<\/a> (\u00e9galement disponible sur le site Venezuelanalysis.com<\/a>) nous explique le fonctionnement de la machinerie d\u00e9mocratique de la Grande r\u00e9publique. Plus personne ne doute qu’elle est \u00e9galitaire dans le style bananier.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tIl s’agit du d\u00e9put\u00e9 du Texas Joe Barton, pr\u00e9sident de la commission de l’\u00c9nergie et du Commerce de la Chambre, et le d\u00e9put\u00e9 le plus proche des p\u00e9troliers apr\u00e8s Tom DeLay, \u00e9limin\u00e9 depuis (d\u00e9missionnaire apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 doublement inculp\u00e9 de corruption). Cela permet \u00e0 Gonzales de d\u00e9finir ainsi Barton: \u00ab He’s the closest thing on Capitol Hill to a mouthpiece for Big Oil.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLe 15 f\u00e9vrier Barton a fait convoquer en audition soup\u00e7onneuse, sinon accusatrice, la firme Citgo. Ce n’est pas un g\u00e9ant du p\u00e9trole soup\u00e7onn\u00e9 de pratiques honteuses, mais la petite soci\u00e9t\u00e9 v\u00e9n\u00e9zu\u00e9lienne charg\u00e9 par Chavez de fournir \u00e0 des pauvres am\u00e9ricains du carburant \u00e0 bas prix. (Cela a d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 fait dans le Massachusetts et \u00e0 New York, \u00e0 des prix r\u00e9duits de 40% par rapport au cours du march\u00e9.) Donc, double tare : un truc de Chavez, qui menace l’Am\u00e9rique toujours tr\u00e8s vuln\u00e9rable, et un truc favorisant les pauvres, ce qui menace l’\u00e9galit\u00e9 des prix et d\u00e9favorise scandaleusement les plus riches.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tD’o\u00f9 l’intervention hyper-lib\u00e9rale de Joe Barton. \u00ab Barton’s letter lists a bunch of questions he wants Citgo to answer, including how and why were the particular beneficiaries of this program selected and whether the program runs afoul of any U.S. laws, including but not limited to, antitrust laws.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Rep. Ed Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, is flabbergasted by Barton’s investigation. The Republicans are on another planet when it comes to energy policy, Markey said. Instead of doing something about skyrocketing oil prices, Markey said, the Republicans are probing a charitable donation of heating oil to relieve the suffering of a few thousand American families.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 28 f\u00e9vrier 2006 \u00e0 13H47<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Un texte de Juan Gonzales, dans le New York Daily News (\u00e9galement disponible sur le site Venezuelanalysis.com) nous explique le fonctionnement de la machinerie d\u00e9mocratique de la Grande r\u00e9publique.
