RE: Honestly shady #1. Foreword

wow, that's pretty bad if they even block CNN! that's like the only network here that seems to routinely support the Venezuelan government, along with the bunch of mindless parroting celebrities they like to bring on their shows.

beautiful music too, btw... look forward to hearing more stories "from the trenches". I will need to hear more of your lovely music as well, to help balance the stories of all the disgraceful transgressions the government has perpetrated over there. but of course, just hearing stories doesn't nearly hold a candle to having been forced to live through it...

Hi Alex, Thank you! Yeah, CNN has made sort of a "quest" out of the situation, particularly since the republican party took office. It got banned here sometime in the first quarter of last year when the fight between the newly elected national assembly (opposition majority) and the other branches of government power started. CNN was conducting real in depth investigations in the country that were starting to itch badly in the goverments foot. So they decided to ban the channel and took it out of the regular set of channels for cable companies and satelite TV, for the sake of the venezuelan's population psyche. But that's not really surprising, in 2005 Chávez threw the DEA out of the country... and he didn't find many obstacles to do so...

Thanks for listening man, we have a lot of material but we are working on some cool visuals and designs to load them up and share them, there are some new projects coming our way that we might get the chance to share soon also. Thanks a lot for your words, there's so much people really suffering and starting to feel hopeless but the global awareness on this situation will definitely play a very important role towards the end of it. Truth is, nobody can really be sure of what's the real truth, so it might be important to keep an eye downhere for a while. The stories will sound wild and I bet a lot of things will be shocking to learn (Like that Danny Glover ows 18 million dollars of venezuelan money that were given to him to direct some film that nobody has ever seen). It will be pretty wild when (if) this pandora's box opens up someday.

wow, very interesting info to know @aurealistic, thank you for that! I wish CNN would focus on some " real in depth investigations" here as well. Perhaps it would help them regain some "semblance" of a shred of credibility! But I suppose that wouldn't pay as well for them, or their biased agenda.

And yeah, I remember reading about that whole crazy Danny Glover story too a ways back. Thanks again for this reply, and definitely look forward to more updates from you! :)
