It is shame that BBC is creating such propaganda instead journalism. VENEZUELA are not only 20% of white very rich people, but 80% not-rich people. So where is your democracy now BBC ?

a) ... have almost 3 times bigger economy, than was beffore 1998

b) ... is only one country in whole AMERICA continent, where poverty was decreased instead increased (like in USA). In fact, poverty was decreased about 70% !!!

c) ... now all base food is groowed localy, no more 60% import !!!

typical media propaganda, what else can you expect from the bbc.

[mfresh1965]

Where are the massive protests and civil discontent you see in Europe and the US. They can go on anywhere now. The gloves are off for the rest of the world. So BBC comes along to spread rosy colored candy covered shit telling half stories and pointing the finger. You cannot believe the white man!!!

@ANibiru i don't think you know what are you saying..

[jacf210792]

@ANibiru Are you Fucking kidding me? Really? Seriously? How the fuck can you say this when we've got the highest inflation in AMERICA the continent, only 8% of our GDP is based on what we grow, and even HAITI when they had the natural disaster sent back containers of food coming from Venezuela because they were SHIT.

@EthanCommins888 > This logic is not logical. I disagree.."If he was a dictator then the military would have thrown his ass out" , Evidently you have not experienced Dictatorships . I happen to be an expert here.. Having lived in Velasco Alvarado's Peru and later Jerry Rawlings' Ghana.. you can't separate Dictators from the Military.. Ideally you would be right, the Military should protect its country, including from dictators, but the sad truth is that dictators generally depend on the military

@RuniTravel My mother along with other people was incharge of looking after the votes in Valencia. If he was a dictator then the Military would have thrown his ass out. We get pissed if they raise Gas prices on us lol.

@EthanCommins888 > I was never great at politics,, but if I got it right Chavez was elected... A Dictator is never elected ... Anyway, why not contact me outside this platform... I'm seldomly here, but check my profiile and if you like contact me at my FaceBook Page (see facebook.com/home.php#!/Peter.­Stumpfle)

@RuniTravel My Grandmother is Ana Enriqueta Teran. I know we have great potential and we should try to work together about that because preatty much the whole world is against us and the news media wants to convince the world that Chavez is a dictator and the world is hell here (I know it isnt fantastic but its not hell) Bottom line is that they want our resources. Fuck them lol.

@EthanCommins888 > well, I like the analogy of sitting with ones dick in ones hand ... Believe it or not, I'm Peruvian at heart... My GREAT Grand-Father (Don Enrique de Güimaraes) wrote the first Grammatical dictionany of the Americas, he created the first Anti-Malarial Tablet ... I'm not trying to show-off ... I'm just trying to say that there is more potential in South-America than we could ever imagine... And ifwe are no careful we will go the way of the Dodo ...

[EthanCommins888]

@RuniTravel I agree that it might not work at least soon but, at least they are talking about SOMETHING instead of sittin around with their dicks in their hands. I fully support CELAC but I don't think it will work right now.

[RuniTravel]

@EthanCommins888 > of course I saw the CELAC Meeting.. I even uploaded a vid that follows this one ... I might sometimes seem slow, but I'm not dumb... CELAC is a failure because it is too ambitious ... When a jeweller builds a chain he does not make all the links at once ... you make one link at a time... take it from me, I learnt jewelry making and living in Berlin I'm well versed into European politics (both the failures and Successes...). A CELAC has to begin at home and slowly work outwards
