God bless Hugo Chavez. If you believe propaganda from the corporate controlled media, you are missing a few facts that need to be taken into account. 1) 2002 democratically elected President Chavez is briefly whisked away in a helicopter from the presidential palace as a US led coup begins. The media in Venezuela was at the time owned and controlled by the 1%, e.g., ruling elites. However, the citizens were getting calls from their relatives in places such as Spain that let them know what was really going on. The citizens of Venezuela stormed the presidential palace where inside the new president had just abolished the congress and the Supreme Court. President Chavez returned in the helicopter that has whisked him away to retake his office. Meanwhile the coup participants, including the coup president, escaped to a random location ... Miami.
2) At his second inauguration President Chavez read directly from the Bible and pointed out that Christ was an anti-imperialist just as he was. Well, the Roman Empire certainly thought he was.
I am writing about my evolution from liberal to radical. This blog contains observations along the way. This is me during my arrest at the White House on September 2, 2011 to stop Keystone XL.
