President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has died, and many are waiting the three week celebratory funeral procession, one I believe to not be deserved. What many do not understand, especially out here in Hollywood California, is that Chavez had brought financial ruin to huge amounts of that population as he attempted to redistribute wealth, and as time went on the poor were poorer, the wealthy, many had left, unless they were on Chavez's insider track, others lost everything. The middle class nearly permanently destroyed. That's the truth, the truth needs to be told.
Why you ask? Because, if Chavez goes down as a hero to the people, then others will emulate and do more damage in the future. We need to make it clear what happened and make sure history gets it right. This will help the most people in future periods and it will be the most fair for all concerned. Okay so let's talk shall we?
FOX News had an interesting feature titled; "Venezuelans in US Hopeful of Change After Chavez Death" and they stated; "Cheering Venezuelans in the U.S. waved their country's flag and anxiously voiced hope that change would come to their homeland after the death Tuesday of long-ruling populist President Hugo Chavez."
There have been a few here in the USA who've said such things as; "The USA can only pray to have a man of his courage and vision. I will miss him."
Interestingly enough, we do have someone just like him, The Teleprompter in Chief and Class Warfare Evangelical Obama. Ever heard of hope and change? Of course, if I utter these words I am shut down by political correctness told I am ignorant, and that comment is off the wall or even racist.
No the statement came from history and the nationalizing of foreign assets, censorship of the media, devaluation of their currency, formation of ALBA, comments against Bush at the UN, calling Americans the "blue eye'd devils", his dealings with Iran and secret shipments, involvement with FARC, turning other nations against us in South America, and so many more things.
That's what Hugo Chavez did, he was not a champion of the poor as Sean Penn or the LA Times might have you believe. The poor in Venezuela are not better off today, their economy is in shambles, unemployment out of control, increased crime, meanwhile all this is being played out across South America, so Chavez was no hero to the people, in fact he'd caused endless pain.
You see, America needs to wake up just as the people of Venezuela need to wake up, my statements are not ignorant at all, I just happen to not be so snowed with the proclaimed Simon Bolivar reincarnated and smart enough to recall Hitler was a socialist, charming speaker, and came in under the labor party and preached hate towards the wealthy and minorities (Jews, Gays, Gypsies, Etc.) and if you look closely there are far too many repeats here in the US in the present period as well.
Consider that President Obama is doing with our 1% today (that is a minority group by definition as it 1%, what else could it be) and Obama is going after anyone who is of the other political persuasion. It's a scary thought that someone would attempt to divide and conquer so deeply in order to promote a political agenda, one which if left unchecked will cause the same economic and social ruin that Hugo Chavez brought to Venezuela, god rest his rhetoric. Please consider all this and think on it.
