CITGO: Rebranding To Disguise Its Venezuelan Ownership

POLITICAL SPEECH PROTECTED BY THE FIRST
AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE USA: A look at an advertisment by a company wholly owned by the Venezuelan
state, whose profits are spent by Hugo Chavez, now attempting to portray itself as an American company. After the ads by Joe Kennedy and his Venezuelan Friends, why is CITGO playing up its American roots, while not disclosing that it was purchased and is run by an branch of Hugo Chavez' Venezuelan state?

yormanscs - nadie se esta metiendo con Venezuela; el comentario es acerca de la estrategia de CITGO de esconder el hecho que es una compania EXTRANJERA, VENEZOLANA operando en los EEUU, y tratando de tapar el hecho de que sus ingresos acaban con HUgo Chavez.

"Hello Progress" y las imagened All American indican que la empresa sabe que ser asociada con el Patan Huo es toxico.

( even if Oil Is Fungible). After the use Chavez, the Venezuelan ambassador Alvarez, Joe Kennedy et al have made of CITGO, this attempt to conceal its foreign ownership and pass itself off as all-American is telling. CITGO is a branch of Venezuela's PDVSA operating in the US- it's no longer an American company

CITGO was purchased by the Venezuelan government-owned

oil company years before Chavez came to power, but under his regime it's become a cash cow for his cronies. If the profits from ExxonMobil went to the king of Saudi Arabia, or BP was run at the whim of Quadaffi, consumers should be aware of that

With the earnings or CITGO, Chavez is buying weapons to help Marxist terrorist guerrillas in Colombia and is buying Russian sophisticated aircraft to threatens the UNITED STATES. The Iranians are suspected to be setting up military bases in Venezuela. Don't buy CITGO!

Chavez está gastando millones en armamento militar para amenazar a Colombia. Toda compra de gasolina CITGO produce una ganancia que Chavez está utilizando para comprar armamento Ruso. Los colombianos y amigos de Colombia deben hacer campaña internacional para suspender el consumo en las gasolineras CITGO porque Chavez es enemigo de Colombia y apoya a los narco-terroristas de las FARC. El articulo 10 de la constitucion de Chavez, revela que Chavez quiere guerra con Colombia.

I'm not going to buy one drop of CITGO until Hugo Chavez is out of office. If he remains for life like Fidel Castro, I'll never buy CITO again.

Much of Citgo heating oil has helped the poor in America from freezing to death. Citgo provides free oil for them. name another private company that does that? you can't. don't complain or listen to propaganda from the American government and big business that support the billionaire stockholders rather than poor old people freezing in their apartments or homes. I worked for a billionaire CEO in a mortgage company. The jerk laid me off.

I for one am sick and tired of this crap. I am surprised the government even allows it. Could you imagine if Al-Qaeda starting making commercials on US TV to make people think they weren't so bad?

Or what if Cuba or the USSR had tried to make a commercial like this during the 50's? Everyone involved from the people who made the commercial to the people who aired it on their stations would be charged with treason!

haha!

I was in Cuba when 9-11 happened and I saw with disgust how these people laughed and rejoiced seeing the American people suffer. They thought at that time that it was the end of the United States and they were elated. Their dream is to see all democracies in bankruptcy and torn down like their own countries so they can realize their imperialistic dreams of a worldwide totalitarian dictatorship. Pay attention America, this is not a game!!

Don't feed the comunist regime of Hugo Chavez.
