After years of treating readers to bizarre conspiracy theories, torture fantasies and general right-wing commentary, Alek Boyd hangs up the gloves and retires his freaky VCrisis website. Returning to live in Venezuela after a decade abroad, Boyd realized that he’d been listening to a bunch of whack jobs all along and, um… “there’s no crisis here” after all. Boyd notes:
Many opposition folks, for all their bitching, lead a life that certainly is above regular European middle class standards, surely way above mine.
Oh, and his wealthy relatives are enjoying the fruits of the Social Missions, even while railing against the government. Viva la BoRev.
Still, Boyd has teased us with this sort of thing before. Last summer, he “retired” from blogging, citing personal issues. A year ago, he did the same, blaming his loss of hope in the Venezuelan people. So he’ll probably be back, but we can enjoy the respite in the meantime.
