Hugo Chavez Part- 1-6 United Nations Speech 2009 VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT

[ericxpenner]

This reminds me of a time (long before I was born) when leaders gave amazing speeches. Now they mostly recite the words of a few talented twenty-something speechwriters who have been trained to write speeches that contain easy-to-swallow passages and mind-numbing platitudes.

[marpoq]

aw no translation :( is this the one where he plays the air guitar?

[darv419]

so DON'T YOU DARE telling me I'm lying, because it's MY REALITY what I'm talking about, and yours too if it's true that you're from Venezuela... Your profile says you're from Brazil

[donskiber]

@darv419 How do you expect people not to doubt what you say when you say things like "completely destroyed Venezuela" or "almost everyone you know being kidnapped", it is obvious you're exagerating. Thanks to people like you we have clowns in the opposition who have no plan nor any alternate policies to counter Chavez's ideas. Are you capable of objectively finding arguments of your own (not canned media bytes) that are actually better of what Chavez has has proposed? This is the real problem.

[darv419]

@donskiber EXCUSE ME? I'm sorry, but I think it's not me exaggerating, but you taking my words extremely literally. When I say he has destroyed Venezuela completely, I don't mean it literally. I'll extend myself a little to explain my point, since you're asking for "arguments of my own".

1) I'm not an Economist or an expert, but I do know that a lot of big companies that were established in Venezuela have moved to Colombia or Costa Rica. Chávez could arbitrarily decide that he wants to

[darv419]

@donskiber expropriate these companies, and that would worry me if I was part of them, too. You don't have to be an expert to know that. And it's not the media that has told me that Chávez does this. It's his actions, like expropriating "Hipermercados Éxito", for instance.

2. I do admit that Chávez's PROPOSALS are not always wrong. The politicians of the so called 4th Republic in Venezuela, in fact, did not pay attention to the poor and I think that's completely wrong. It's not the proposals

[darv419]

@donskiber what I don't like. It's his actions, because they are completely different to what he says.

3. I understand that someone who doesn't live in Venezuela can't completely understand the situation, because even if you know all the facts you're not experiencing them in your day to day life. But we have to deal with not finding sugar, milk, etc. in the supermarkets; with electricity suddenly going off; being constantly nervous because of the insecurity.

I'm telling you that no one wears

[darv419]

@donskiber any gold or any other expensive jewelry in Venezuela, because it would be an act of stupidity. And I do know a lot of people who have been kidnapped. And you know what? I can tell the difference because I'm spending this summer in Florida.

From the smallest thing, everything's different. Houses don't have big walls and electric fences protecting them like they do in Venezuela. Streets are well asphalted here, too.

[darv419]

@donskiber

4. Believe it or not, I know at least 15 people who have been kidnapped and a lot more who have been robbed (including myself).

5. This morning my GRANDFATHER was driving to the church in Venezuela when two groups of criminals started shooting at each other, and one of the groups was hiding behind his car while shooting. No police officers showed up in the whole while.

6. I know and I agree that Chávez is an awesome speaker, and he says impressively accurate things. But you and

[darv419]

@donskiber everyone else that doesn't live in Venezuela must understand that his actions are way different than his words. Just Google "petare caracas" and you'll see where the people live.

The lady who cleans my aunt's house is around 80 years old, and she still has to work. But the point is she's lost SIX members of her family because of the insecurity. That's where she lives: Petare. And her grandsons were all killed there. Do you think that's a good life quality? I don't think so...

[darv419]

@donskiber

7. I don't really have to care about what you think, because you can believe whatever you want but you don't live in Venezuela and you don't vote in Venezuela. I only want the people to understand the things from an average middle class Venezuelan point of view. I'm not the devil, I'm not an oligarch. I'm a Venezuelan citizen too.

Life was different before. It was happier. And how good can it be to change the CONSTITUTION just to stay in the power for more time? That's selfish

[darv419]

@donskiber

8. He has passed every law he wanted to in 5 years because the opposition didn't vote in the past National Assembly (Congress) elections, because they thought that way the election would be declared illegitimate. But nothing happened. So he had every single Deputy (Representative) in our unicameral congress. And then ONE of them became part of the opposition.

I do agree on something: the opposition is not right either. They're all looking for power. They don't care about th people

[darv419]

I'll translate all I just said:

"dude let me tell you something... I have no need to come here and lie to a lot of people about my country. If Chavez was really doing something good for my country I assure you I'd support him, but it's sad to see how everything around my gets worse as they get richer from our money. So don't you dare telling me I'm lying. The streets are full of holes and almost everyone I know has been robbed and/or kidnapped

[KajsSwedishMeatBalls]

Hmm, spanish is pretty easy to understand if you know a little french.

[pardalslb]

Chavez brings a revolutionary message. Imperialism afects us all, American culture and coorporate policies just come to do worst to the diferences betwen western civilization and the rest of the world. Our countries explore the smaller and weaker nations resources by force of arms, anyone denying it its just too ignorant because the proofs are overwelming. Every time America moves , it leaves a trail of destruccion behind it, done by their riders of the Apocalypse : war and capitalism.

[AntiVot]

hello can someone from venezuela tell what he really thinks about hugo chavez ....because i can trust the media from my country ! please subscribe ! a small opinion about what is good and what is bad about hugo .

[darv419]

@AntiVot Definitely! President Chavez has destroyed Venezuela completely. I advice you to watch Chavez's interview with BBC Hard Talk. You can see him get really mad about the questions he's asked. Venezuela's economy is a mess; Venezuela's streets are a mess. In 2009 around 4,000 people died in Iraq violently, and over 16,000 died in Venezuela. Government officers have stated publicly that if you get kidnapped or assaulted and you have an expensive car or expensive clothes it's your fault

[darv419]

@AntiVot I'm Venezuelan and this is the truth about Hugo Chavez. Venezuela is a huge disaster right now, and all he's doing is increasing corruption and violent death rates. This man's insane and he's messing the whole country up. We haven't advanced in 10 years now. I hope God will be good to us sometime, because as long as Chavez is the President of Venezuela we'll stay right where we are, or get even worse...

[gurggy]

Chavez talks about how Satan was here yesterday, now he beats his Sabers, frothing at the mouth to go to war with Columbia, for what? Who's THE REAL SATAN HERE?

[zowa59]

THE REAL SATAN HERE? like always...USA - ENGLAND - ISRAEL - COLOMBIA- UN - OTAN (NATO)...they are!

[johanlr]

you are stupid, im colombian and im not satan, so have a litlle respect. if hugo chavez is so smart are are all venezuelans fucked up, or cuba.stop and think!!

[johanlr]

well my friend its colombia no columbia. ok.you know... a little detail...

[Clestrange4]

I pity you. What you say, it's crazy

[FBizzocchi]

Sabes como le dicen a chavez, BATERIA , es negro, cuadrado y lo cargan por la boca.................jajajaaja­jajaja sucio illuminatis que lindo que saber que ya te espera el infierno.

[luisbeck007]

Chavez no tiene record mundial de Venta de armas ni record mundial de drogadictos, ni record mundial de deuda, ni record mundial de misiles nucleares, si los tiene USA e Inglaterra por ejemplo. Y felizmente Chavez sabe algo de Historia por eso no tiene Reyes en su constitucion quienes mataron decenas de millones en todo el Mundo. Ahora lecciones de democracias corruptas y prostitutas luego de 50 anos de "Guerra Fria" y dictadores promovidos por USA o Europa no... eso no queremos.

[vjrei]

Verga pero tu si escribes pendejadas mama huevo de mierda. ¿En que país vives pajuo?

[zowa59]

EN VENEZUELA...que si dejaran de echar varilla saldriamos adelante!

[Clestrange4]

Piaso eh taiiddorr ke bienes avlar paja de tu propioh paiz. Dfiend u paiz ant todo!!!

Y escribo mal para que no me traduzcan los gringos.

[zowa59]

@Clestrange4 no sé por qué me llamas así...yo soy de venezuela, estoy con venezuela y voy por venezuela. Respeto y aprecio a mi presidente, ya que, aunque les duela a muchos, está en el poder por la voluntad de su pueblo. Y así será hasta que el pueblo de venezuela decida lo contrario! Lo siento si eso te molesta!

[raulcitraro]

(cont)...involucrados en desfalcar a PDVSA . Estos senores se encargaron de poner a Venezuela en quiebra.

[zowa59]

BUENISIMO TU COMENTARIO!!!!

[luisbeck007]

Chavez no Mato a un millon de Personas en Irak por petroleo con mentiras; ni apunta a todos los paises con mas de 3000 armas nucleares, ni invierte 700 billones de dollares en gasto militar por año como lo hace USA, ni envia cartas con virus Anthrax a su propia poblacion y luego hecha la culpa a otro, ni planifica guerras nucleares para asesinar a quienes tienen petroleo. Ni tiene Rey en su constitucion. Ni tiene 13 trillones de dolares de deuda como los tiene USA; Ni tiene Fox o CNN tarados.

[luisbeck007]

AL abuelo de Bush lo metieron tres veces a la carcel por hacer negocios sucios con los Nazis y en plena guerra vender gasolina especial para los aviones alemanes de combate... que te parete? Los Nazis mataron 10 millones y el negocio de armas en la segunda guerra mato 50 millones mas. Esos cretinos son los que quieren escribir la historia y dar lecciones de democracia, no solo no tienen petroleo sino que estan endeudados por al menos 200 años, y es por eso que quieren invadir para robar...

[luisbeck007]

El 29 de marzo de 1956, mientras veraneaba en la residencia familiar de Estoril (Portugal), Juan Carlos disparó accidentalmente a su hermano Alfonso con un revólver (según algunas versiones, regalo de Franco) causándole la muerte instantánea. La prensa española inicialmente difundió la versión de que Alfonso se había disparado a sí mismo limpiando el arma o la "anécdota" de que Don Juan de Borbón hizo jurar a Don Juan Carlos sobre la bandera de España que había sido un accidente.

[luisbeck007]

Rey ladron a ver como callas los 145 mil euros de deuda con los que viene cada espanol al mundo y que los tiene que pagar en todos los productos y la vivienda; so incompetente de mierda anda a callar a tus abuelos genocidas; so pelotudo ladron de petroleo mentiroso criminal igual que Bush la basura humana que quebro a los USA; pudranse en el infierno pelotudos criminales...

[luisbeck007]

Cada español viene al mundo con 145 mil Euros de deuda; que los tiene que pagar en el pan, la leche, el chocolate, la vivienda, etc. En promedio los Europeos al igual que la mayoria de seres humanos desarrollan 5% de su potencial mental debido a primitivas tecnicas para el aprendizaje, porque todo ese dinero que podria ser bien invertido en nuevas tecnologias para el aprendizaje y energia limpia se va para pagar gasto militar . Rey Ladron y generador de miseria en el Mundo...

[luisbeck007]

[raulcitraro]

Chavez es un delincuente. Preguntale donde estan los 950 MIL MILLONES de dolares que se han despilfarrado en 10 anos. Yo te puedo responder,en las campanas presidenciales de Kirschner,Evo,Ortega y Rafael Correa. Yo todavia no entiendo como hay gente como tu que apoya a ese mediocre mentiroso. La pobreza en Venezuela ha aumentado y "Barrio Adentro" es un antro de corrupcion. ABRA LOS OJOS!!

[luisbeck007]

[raulcitraro]

Si,pero tiene record mundial de mentiras y despilfarro para un pais de sur america. Dime donde estan los 950 MIL MILLONES que este delincuente ha despilfarrado?

[iHennigs]

so was zu übersetzen ist echt schwer, er benutz zu komplizierte Wörter und Sätze

[lemart88]

please can someone translate this in english or german^^. or post here a link to a german or english version???

i would love to understand every word!!!!

[raulcitraro]

Hugo Chavez is a shyster. He has squandered 950 BILLION DOLLARS and poverty in Venezuela is at its highest level and Health Care is a joke. Go to Banco Central de Venezuela web site, analyze the check and balance report, it's all in there.

[LanzaSara]

Hugo sos un mentiroso! O sea si sos tan buena gente deja que tus acciones lo digan no nos vengas a decir vos!!

[andresueco]

Obama, tell the truth Niggah!!! Hugo Chavez is Right!!!

[hawkmonitor]

An extraordinary example of demagogy. Well done Chavez!

[hawkmonitor]

An extraordinary example of demago

[DoroteoAranjuez]

The NY Times will say that Chavez "rambled," because he doesn't follow the style of American public speaking, scripted, with market tested sound bites and catchy words, fitting to a society with profit making in its marrow and attention deficit disorder fogging its mind. Chavez speaks the truth from his heart, and that shows. That's why he doesn't connect with the U.S. elites but does just fine with regular working people everywhere. Viva Chavez!

[gringodeltoro1]

@DoroteoAranjuez Well said !

[darv419]

@DoroteoAranjuez OMG you're SO WRONG

[flahpracidelli]

@darv419

You fucking liar, i doubt you are from venezuela, I AM from venezuela and you are absolutly wrong in every statement

[darv419]

@flahpracidelli mira pana dejame decirte algo... yo no tengo ninguna necesidad de venir para aca a mentirle a un poco de gente acerca de mi pais. Si Chavez de verdad estuviera haciendo algo bueno por mi pais te aseguro que yo lo apoyaria, pero es triste ver como todo lo que tengo a mi alrededor se hunde mientras ellos se enriquecen a costa de nosotros. Asi que no vengas a decirme que estoy mintiendo. Las calles estan llenas de huecos y han secuestrado y/o atracado a casi todos mis conocidos

[darv419]

@flahpracidelli asi que NO TE ATREVAS a venir a decir aqui que yo estoy mintiendo, porque es MI REALIDAD de la que estoy hablando, y tambien la tuya si es que de verdad eres de Venezuela, porque tu perfil dice Brasil

[Tuntuneco]

Wow, is that a president? What a looser. All he talks about are stupid stories about himself, almost even if he went to the bathroom the night before. Envy and hate is all he has inside.

[Tuntuneco]

Wow, more of the same.  He is just a clown, a story teller. Starts talking about that stupid movie and he has been doing, almost tells people if he went to the bathroom before going to be te previous night. What a looser!

[tchoco]

Fantastic speech.

[wribit]

Same thing happened to Gaddafi - censorship, or incompetent translators? Incompetence might be a bit harsh a word though; being bilingual - I couldn't imagine having to translate on the spot like that. My brain would FRY

[chicago6984]

could sum1 plz send me the link 2 the video wit the english translation

gotta luv how every major news channel cut his speech off soon as he start talking about sumthing serious 4 breaking news which was only a few hippies standing around holding posters lol

[gamlerik1]

Why did the english voiceover begin and then stop mid-sentance?
