We Venezuelans are living in a distorted
reality field. We are all immersed in it and we are not realizing it. And we
don't realize it because we are inside it. It seems like a play on words but it
is not. But someone has to realize it to say from outside the field that we are
distorting reality and committing stupid things as a result. Let's see.
In an article in Spain's El País in November
2011, entitled "Campo de distorsión de la realidad" (see El País, in https://elpais.com/diario/2011/11/05/espana/1320447621_850215.html) The political analyst Jesus Cerberio explained the phenomenon from the
personal to the social, showing the case of Steve Jobs, according to whom this
character was capable of modifying reality: "In
his presence reality is something malleable. He can convince almost anyone of
anything. The effect fades when he's not around, but it's dangerous to get
caught up in its field of distortion”. In the political Spain of 2011,
Cerberio said, "In the absence of
leaders endowed with this singular and sometimes dangerous capacity, it is the
parties that turn over their expensive machinery...to distort reality to their
own measure and create a binary world, where the other symbolizes all sorts of
disasters and one has all the solutions".
And that is exactly what is happening in the
political Venezuela of now, when everyone is preparing to decisively reject the
selection of the members of a supposed "civil society" as members of
the new Electoral Nominations Committee of the CNE. First of all, how can one reject
the birth of something that should not have been born in the first place? And
it should not have been born because that Preliminary Commission was
illegitimate because it was made up of PSUV deputies who no longer had that
status as deputies of the National Assembly due to the abandonment of their
posts. In other words, such a Preliminary Commission was non-existent from the
legal point of view. We are being put in the position of discussing something
that only exists in the sick mind of those who have created this whole illegal
scheme for the appointment of a new tube-bound CNE in the National Assembly.
Not even the fact that the 10
"selected" characters, if there were any rule of law in Venezuela and
any synderesis of performance in the opposition leadership, would be challenged
throughout the middle street for not belonging to civil society due to
undeniable links with the political parties and supposed civil society that
nominated them. And what are we Venezuelans doing? By distorting that reality
we are preparing to reject those appointments when they are nothing more than
the byproduct of something that should not have been formed in the first place
as a Preliminary Commission, putting us to discuss a non-existent reality as if
it were actually real. And that is what these political offenders want! That
way they legitimize the whole illegitimate chain from the very beginning.
And why are we buying that in the first
place? Because both the regime and its official opposition are playing with the
minds of Venezuelans as if we were rats in a large laboratory to take us like
sheep to the great electoral slaughterhouse they are preparing for us. The next
thing will be that Venezuelans publicly discuss in a sickly way whether this or
that "Rector of the CNE" was valid or not, when we know for a fact
that those "Rectors" should not exist in the first place because they
are the result of a long chain of events and illegal and illegitimate
appointments, negotiated for the perpetuation of the regime and those who
accompany them in the opposition. We are then operating in a field of distorted
reality and we have to get out of it.
According to psychologists, a person can
distort reality if they are depressed enough (see in Spanish, La depresión
puede afectarnos al punto de distorsionar la realidad, in https://www.psyciencia.com/la-depresion-puede-afectarnos-al-punto-de-distorsionar-la-realidad/). And sure enough, we Venezuelans are. We are the easy grass of all
those who manipulate reality at their whim. And as the Spanish analyst said: "it is the parties who turn over their
expensive machinery... to distort reality to their own liking...”. That
reality where we go to an election at "troche y moche" regardless of
the distorted framework of the country that does not justify where you look at
an electoral process. But they impose it even though that is not the reality of
Venezuelans.
And beyond that, no one talks about the fact
that even if a new National Assembly exists as a result of irritated elections
called by an illegal CNE, it is still above that "elected" Public
Power within this great distorted reality, a National Constituent Assembly that
would be above ALL Public Powers, according to the same Constitution of 1999,
in its Article 349: "...The
constituted powers may not in any way impede the decisions of the National
Constituent Assembly...”. . The regime could even lose that parliamentary
election and Maduro could be left to govern as a "democratic"
President, because he would have under his control the illegitimate Constituent
Assembly that no official opposition is talking about dismantling. Why don't
those who want to go to that parliamentary election talk about that in this
environment of distorted reality?
And
you'll ask me, how do you correct that distortion? The recipe is not mine. I'll
just refer you to an article I recommend entitled “Steve Jobs, la psicología
política y el campo de distorsión perceptiva de votantes y políticos” (see in https://mprgroupusa.com/2016/08/29/steve-jobs-la-psicologia-politica-y-el-campo-de-distorsion-perceptiva-de-votantes-y-politicos/): "How
do you correct the field of perceptual distortion? With collective adjustment.
With the others. With the noise that our field produces in the area of
encounter and friction with the field of others. There is a hard and patient
task for political consultants. Because part of their work has to do with that:
dismantling the field of perceptual distortion of their clients. - Help me to
look," says Eduardo Galeano, as a boy told his father when he found
himself facing the overwhelming immensity of the sea for the first time in his
life. The only antidote to the field of perceptual distortion is this: help me
to look...".
I hope I have helped you to see "the
overwhelming immensity of the sea" of the evil of those who still believe
that we Venezuelans are still the same assholes as before. Understand this at
once: we will not vote in any election until Maduro leaves...
