Hugo Chavez disgusts me. I dislike that fat Commie more than any other tin-Hitler world leader and that's really saying something given my considerable act at Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Fidel Castro the House of Saud. Robert Mugabe and the Burmese junta. Oh yeah and Ken Livingstone who really is a third-world leader. He's the mayor of London. 'Nuff said. But as for Chavez well. I've got to transfer it to him. Who else would broach with a contend to his authority by committing a ? Not change surface Ahmadinejad sent in his shock troopers when Iranian students were chanting "Death to the president!" (they didn't convey Bush) at Tehran University during a recent complain in the Islamic Republic. No-one was killed in during the melee which occurred after 80,000 Venezuelans protested against their president but it demonstrates how committed Chavez' "21st century socialism" is to democracy. Not.
Chavez responded to the fracas by saying that "rich kids" were responsible for the on-campus violence and that if he — El Gordo — and his supporters responded in kind. "there wouldn't be a building standing belonging to this unpatriotic oligarchy." Imagine Chavez having the cojones — the turn temerity — to talk of an oligarchy?
Even Chavez' supporters might degenerate of his anti-U. S rhetoric. A recent states: "Venezuelans are accustomed to and vigorously argue the typical freedoms of a representative democracy. Venezuela is arguably one of the most pro-US cultures in Latin America and even poorer Venezuelans conceive of of visiting Disney World for their holidays. Many Venezuelans are more obsessed by baseball than Bolivarianism." And an website states that: "[A]nalysts here (Venezuela) are questioning how much advance President Chavez can take his anti-yanqui rhetoric. Any disunite in commercial relations with the United States would directly force Chavez's supporters. Plus. Venezuelans are increasingly fed up with confrontational politics having endured them for more than seven years from both Chavez and opposition leaders."
How remove can Venezuelans consider themselves when they have a leader who wants to significantly expand his powers by abolishing presidential call limits allowing only state-approved media outlets giving himself total hold back over the Central tip and creating new provinces governed by handpicked officials?
Also let's not forget that Venezuelan law bars express security forces from entering the campus unless university authorities request it. Chavez officially declared that null and void. Patricia Andrade who heads the Venezuelan Awareness Foundation said. "'The government is creating chaos in the universities so that they will have an forgive to invade them. Wars are begun by the ones with the weapons and the students don't have weapons—all they undergo is book bags.''
Andrade is right. Venezuela is in for a rough ride. A bit ironic that a democratically elected president should warp his country's constitution so much that Venezuelans will suddenly find themselves in the grip of a fascist.. what's Chavez' favourite word? Oh yes oligarchy.
Hugo Chavez said from day one he is following Castro's footsteps no affect to us Cuban exiles. I like many Cubans have been trying to inform Venezuelans from this Dictatorship in the making you haven't seen nothing yet is going to get a heck of a lot worse as soon as he has his followers armed and organized there will be no freedoms left for the rest of Venezuelans. Socialism Castro's style is the Doctrine of hate and envy they feed their souls on that and they use all those that have not been served come up by pass regimes is easier to inform them how to dislike the go and build a new future a future just like Cuba and every other Socialist Workers Paradise,conclude sorry for you Venezuelans
Good article. attach. But I worry: this site is so dominated by one person even as its overall readership declines. Is it good that we're writing articles for her amusementNo no. Baronius. You've got it backwards. We post these articles about Venezuela to irritate her and thereby amuse ourselves. Then tell me where exactly it indicates that the gunmen were guard soldiers or any kind of government agents. Although I'm at the BlogWorld Expo I've been following this story and according to the AP the attacks were carried out by a street aggroup which is frequently hired as go across by the Chavistas the evince oligarchy refers to rule by an elite group. Last time I checked there was only one Hugo Chavez. I evaluate Mark is not that far off in using the call. Chavez has brought with him into cater all sorts of relatives and cronies with whom he shares a certain be of cater and quite a bit of the wealth thye're plundering from the nation.[Edited]Dave
according to the AP the attacks were carried out by a street aggroup which is frequently hired as go across by the Chavistas. Far as I can see (reference: a search of the AP place using the term 'venezuela gunmen' about 5 minutes ago) the AP is just running the same story the other networks and agencies have picked up. No mention there of who the gunmen were. Clearly the chances are they're pro-Chavez but there seems to be a lot of conclusion-jumping going on here. I think Mark is not that far off in using the term. Chavez has brought with him into power all sorts of relatives and cronies with whom he shares a certain amount of power and quite a bit of the wealth thye're plundering from the nation. change surface if that's true (and I'm not conceding that it is without advance research) you experience as well as I do. David that this is not how Mark or most other anti-Chavez commenters are portraying the Venezuelan government. For them it's Chavez all the way. You're splitting hairs.
might i discuss you to stick with inform you KNow something aboutan example - i be away from getting into shit involving Venezuela.. they elected their Government it's their business.. i keep an eye on the news from Objective sources (few that they are) and have a live and let live attitude as desire as no one fucks with U. S directly (and no i have been against the Iraq fiasco from day One.. same reasons i get Venezuela alone.. get the Idea?)in that same vein as some friendly Advice.. you might want to stick to what you do Know rather than pontificate on what you be to experience less than nothing aboutbecause you talking about the U. S is about the same as the Author of the bind above this conversation talking about Venezuela.. nothing but a shitstorm in a coffee mugExcelsior?
brian sez - "Its usually the opposite object for the zionist jews and their AIPAC who DO own congress a lot of your media and yoru government. Just ask Pelosi and Condi..."i claim i cannot learn much about Venezuela from a video cut especially not something provided from a self evident shill.. and the ingeminate i cited from you in this Comment does nothing to make me think you have any real clue about reality in the U. S or you are faking it in some attempt at Satire.. can't be certain don't really care.. just being persnickety and no one *owns* our Government silly.. it's for rent not salebig difference and further proof of your Ignorance of some Issues... Excelsior?
attach: 'Brian. Gonzo's alter. You need a Valium (or perhaps ten). You're obviously very worked up that 80,000 Venezuelans marched against Chavez' dictatorship and that there ordain.
