For a deputy from Chavez, "the American attack against the Venezuelan electrical system" was based on the film "Duro de Matar IV"

A popular phrase says that reality goes beyond fiction. According to the constituent deputy of Chavez, Maria Alejandra Diazthis happened in Venezuela after the blackout that left the country almost six days without light. During an interview on the show "La Hojilla" of the Venezuelan public television channel (VTV), the official said, in accordance with the Nicolás Maduro regime's speech, that the United States had launched a cyber attack against the country electrical system. But the peculiarity of his story is that, according to his version, this attack was based "on the film Hard of Killing IV".

"In the movie Duro de Matar IV, those who love Hollywood have made a similar development to what they had done in Venezuela through the 2.0 networks. Thanks to a truck in motion, they hacked the entire electrical system, all the telephony, they took control of traffic lights, traffic, through a virus. They took control of a military plane …, "said Diaz.

"All this was hacked to prove a theory that there was no domestic security in the United States and also to ask for money." The case was real. Because the gringos attacked, they put it into practice, in Iran with the centrifuge of the nuclear program ", he added.

This explanation caused a wave of mockery and memes on social networks. One of the most reproduced images was the face of the driver at the end of the story. We can see her at that moment looking at the ceiling almost without understanding what she was hearing.

The story of Diaz, however, is consistent with the rationale provided by Chavez officials over the last few hours, forcing the United States to account again.

Maduro called people to get ready with a radio, batteries, candles and a flashlight

This Thursday, the Telesur chain, akin to chavism, published the three alleged phases of the attack denounced by the Venezuelan dictator. The first is an attack on CORPOELEC's computerized system at the El Guri hydropower plant. For that, according to the regime, "A group of hackers was used to reverse the system."

The second phase mentioned by Maduro went through the "electromagnetic path" through the use of high frequency mobile devices to interrupt communications. The last step, to the same extent, was "the hot and direct explosion of substations and power plants," according to Chavez.

The faculty of engineering of the UCV concluded in a report – dated Tuesday – that the power cut that left in the dark to the majority of the country for 5 days It was due to a fire that affected 3 transmission lines and was out of sync with the Guri hydropower plant.

In addition, he determined that the turbines of the "Central II" of this hydropower complex, the largest in Venezuela, had suffered damage that would impose electricity rationing in several areas.
