Chavez: Russian jets can repel attack on Venezuela
Like i said before stop watching Globoterror, 100,000 still dead? of corse they're still dead, and nobody can't do anything about it they're dead but i don't really know what are you talking about i've never heard anything about 100,000 dead unless you've been reading the obituaries section in the newspaper. 33% inflation? That one is true, but who control the private sector and the production? the government or the opposition? Hospitals falling down? you got to be kidding Giving away of our resources to other countries? you must be talking about the 4th republic. Do you even know what the 26 laws by decree are about? I don't think so. I don't have to read anything i go to Venezuela every year and i see for myself and i'm not a communist i'm a Venezuelan. (Friday Aug 15 | post #41)
Sorry, Hugo, but Latin America's populist decade might end soon
I just was being sarcastic but you're so blinded with hate and some kind of dissociation that you can't even see that. Well like i said before if you don't have anything smart to say i won't reply 'cause i can't explain every little thing to you and in the end it doesn't really matter. You whining, crying and bitching like a little girl about it,doesn't gonna change the fact that Chavez is the "ELECTED " President of Venezuela. If you don't like it, welcome to Topix.

Chavez dares US to put Venezuela on terrorist list

Chavez enacts new laws with iron fist
This one is my favorite: “One piece of legislation warned ominously that those responsible for food shortages, speculation and inflationary pressure with political motives” will be sanctioned with prison sentences of up to three years.” Meaning that ain’t gonna be no more food shortages caused by the opposition through the private sector. Hahaha.. The Enabling Law and Chávez’s decrees are in accordance with the national constitution, which was passed by popular vote in 1999, Chávez’s first year in office. Many of the concepts of the constitutional reforms proposed in 2007 are present in the decreed laws, because many of them were originally written with the expectation that the reform would be approved by voters, but the laws were later changed so as to be in line with the current constitution. So i say to you that your predictions are obsolete. (Tuesday Aug 12 | post #2)

Chavez: Russian jets can repel attack on Venezuela
More recently, last December, Venezuela acquired new radar systems that enable increased law enforcement patrols and monitoring along the 1400-mile border with Colombia. These new radar systems also fill the gap in coastal surveillance that resulted when the U.S. discontinued radar equipment rentals to Venezuela in 2004. In December 2007, Venezuela held a national vote on a proposed constitutional reform that would have made a large number of changes to the Venezuelan political structure. Among the proposed changes was the elimination of presidential term limits, a change that would have allowed Hugo Chávez to run for reelection in 2012 when his current term ends. While there are many countries in the world that do not have term limits for national leaders, including the United Kingdom, France, Australia, Germany, and others, the constitutional reform in Venezuela was widely reported in international media as a change that would “make Chavez president for life.” Media outlets called the reform a “power grab” on the part of Chávez, and presented the image of a country “heading toward dictatorship,” when, in reality, Chávez would only be able to continue as the president of Venezuela if he were reelected by the people in national elections. On December 3, 2007, the reform was voted down, and the proposed changes were not made to the Venezuelan constitution. International media reported that Chávez had accepted the results “grudgingly” and only after pressure from the high military command. Military commanders immediately released statements denying that Chávez had been pressured to accept the results, but this went unreported in most international media outlets. What i’m trying to say is that your comments are very acertive only if the media was telling the truth. The biggest problem with Venezuela is the Chavez’s opposition that is willing to destroy Venezuela in order to make Chavez look back,they don’t even have a lider, is the Venezuelan people fighting for power and money and not for a better Venezuela, remember that corruption in Venezuela is a life style, is somenthing that we call EL VIVO and EL GUEVON. El vivo is the one who beats the system and take advantage of it, and el guevon is the honest people. I use to be the vivo ‘till i came to this Country and realize that that’s not the right way (Monday Aug 11 | post #24)

I knew you were gonna say that. The USA with the must advance technology in the World and a lot of money is helping Colombia in the fight against the drugs and the FARC right? so how come colombia cocaine production rised 23% in the first semestre of the year and is the biggest producer of cocaine in the world and the USA is the biggest comsumer and some how is Venezuela’s fault. In November 2001, Venezuela was elected chair of the Commission for Drug Abuse Control of the Organization of American States (CICAD), after having served as Vice Chair the year before and hosting the annual meeting of that organization in the Venezuelan capital city of Caracas. Also that year, Venezuela participated in hemispheric efforts to develop its Multilateral Evaluation Mechanism (MEM) to improve counter-narcotics cooperation. In November of 2005, Venezuela hosted the OAS’ First Inter-American Observatory on Drugs, in which more than forty countries participated. During this three-day conference, experts shared their methodological and technical expertise in combating drug trafficking In September of 2006, the Venezuelan government captured Colombia’s second-most wanted narco-trafficker, Farid Feris Domínguez, and immediately handed him over to Colombian officials, Since then, Venezuela has caught and turned over many suspected criminals to Colombian authorities, including the well-known guerrilla leader Gentil Alvis PatinoAdditionally , Venezuela and Colombia have developed a joint eradication program targeting coca, marijuana, and poppy crops in the Perija Mountains along their common border. Known as Operation Sierra, the plan is supported by the UN and the OAS. It has led to the eradication of 110 hectares of poppies, 80 hectares of coca plants, and 15 hectares of marijuana. 18 laboratories of coca-based paste and rural camps containing supplies for the processing of coca leaves have been destroyed.

I'm 45 years old andl i have been in Venezuela during and before Chavez and he's one of the two Venezuelan President that really cares for Venezuela. Do you think that the US Navy's fourth fleet poses a threat to Venezuela and the porpoise of the reactivation of the same? (Friday Aug 8 | post #14)

A three times democratly elected Banana Republic Dictator that tanks to him the standard of education in Venezuela is among the highest in the region. Of Venezuelans aged 15 and older, 93.4% can read and write, one of the highest literacy rates in the region. The literacy rate in 2003 was estimated to be 93.8% for males and 93.1% for females. The Venezuelan government remains committed to the idea that every citizen is entitled to a free education despite some criticism of the system. Venezuela has more than 90 institutions of higher education, with more than 6 million students. Higher education remains free under the 1999 constitution and was receiving 35% of the education budget, even though it accounted for only 11% of the student population. More than 70% of university students come from the wealthiest quintile of the population. To address this problem, the government established the Bolivarian University system in 2003, which designed to democratize access to higher education. Brazil, Colombia and Argentina spend a lot more money in weaponry than Venezuela and the Country spending more money in weaponry and wars is the USA which economy in not doing so good latetly. The enhanced military will really be designed to keep Venezuela's own people in line? bro. you must be talking about the Virtual Venezuela created by the right wing through the International Media.

Well seems to be that the International Media does care about him, they're the one keeping this post alive were people that don't care about him like you always have something to say, even when they don't have a clue of what's really happening in Venezuela. You only know what they want you to know and there's nothing i can do about it. (Friday Aug 8 | post #10)
Chavez pushes through 26 laws in Venezuela
The Enabling Law and Chávez’s decrees were in accordance with the national constitution, which was passed by popular vote in 1999, Chávez’s first year in office. Many of the concepts of the constitutional reforms proposed in 2007 are present in the decreed laws, because many of them were originally written with the expectation that the reform would be approved by voters, but the laws were later changed so as to be in line with the current constitution, Venezuela’s Presidential Counsel, Gladys Gutierrez Alvarado, confirmed Monday that all of the organic laws decreed by President Chávez in the past 18 months were first turned over to the Supreme Court for approval, as required by the constitution. The only organic law proposed by Chávez that was not approved as organic by the Supreme Court was the Labor Stability Law in August 2007, which sought to outlaw unjustified firings.
