The Communist leader of Venuzuela died yesterday…and as could be expected…SA groups pay tribute to Chavez
He was amongst other things, Julias Malema’s mentor and hero.
Malema mourns death of anti-imperialist Chavez
The ANC said: “To us as South Africa and the ANC, he was a good and principled friend.”
Cosatu said: “Humanity and the planet earth... have suffered a terrible loss of a freedom fighter and soldier of justice and development,”
The SA Communist Party described Chavez as a soldier of the poor and a champion of mass-driven socialism.
“Chavez dedicated his life to an anti-imperialists agenda, was the foremost frontline combatant against imperialist subjugation of the world and a champion of people's power,” it said.
Makes me sick Mike
ReplyDeleteAnd yet not a word from the international community. Just goes to show, they agree.
ReplyDeleteChavez dedicated his life to an anti-Zionist New World Order agenda,
ReplyDeletewhy do good things happen to bad people?
ReplyDeletemay this scum join his buddies stalin and mao and burn in hell for eternity...
The news over here is that he left his family over $2 billion...shame poor socialist!

ReplyDeleteSnuffs it. Sniffing is what glue addicts do. Not that he was any better.
ReplyDeletehehehe...no dh, he's definitely sniffing it, and most probably swallowing it too :)
DeleteThanks for the correction. I suppose you can argue that Chavez once said about Bush in front of the UN, "The devil came here yesterday, and it smells of sulfur still today."
DeleteHe is definately sniffing the sulphur now ;-)
Hugo Chavez was a good man. Although he aligned himself with the left, he never ruled Venezuela as a communist. His policies were more national socialist than anything else, and as such, I regard him as a leader who worked for the good of his country and his nation. He called GW Bush a devil, and I wholeheartedly agree with him. He nationalized the oil wealth and deprived the zionists of the oil they regarded as their private property, and he harnessed that wealth for the good of the entire nation, which was poverty stricken when he came to power.
ReplyDeleteHe had nothing in common with the thieving ANC dogs, who would love to do the same, but only for the benefit of the black elite.
He cosied up to anyone who pissed ZioAmerica off, and I would have done the same. The zionist cabal hated this man, which simply proves how great he was. Quite predictably, the ziomedia now claim he stashed hundreds of millions away and was nothing but a thieving nigga. Of course they would. Did anyone expect anything else?
RIP Hugo.
This is the impression I also had from him. Regards Louis.
Delete'Facing facts'-
DeleteI agree,Nice comments
Boerseun.Z.A.R
I wholeheardedly agree with you. May there be many more of his type in future, anywhere in the world
DeleteRegular reader of Mike's blog and agree with the above comments , he pissed of the money powers and I liked that , maybe he was rotten somewhere but he didn't bow down to the money power. We need more people like that. Bush was evil no two ways about that being a "conservative" doesn't absolve him. May all the Hoggenheimers die of rinderpes real soon
DeleteI got the same impression about the man. Much like Libya they appeared to be a thorn in the butt of someone. Those how refuse to budge get killed and then they get made to look and sound like loons by the media after their death.
DeleteNo doubt he was killed. Recall Kadaffi? Who went to see him to get him to surrender before his death --- Jacob Zuma. Another member much like Thabo and Mandela, members of the Order of Bath and Knights of Malta.
Why did he seek treatment for his illness in Cuba, the health care system in Venezuela must be like the health care system SA.a bloody mess. The medical aid schemes in SA dont want to pay for anything anymore one has to fork out the bloody money first before any kind of treatment starts.

1) Poverty in Venezuela fell from 52% in 1999 to 28.5% in 2009.
Delete2) Unemployment rate dropped from 14.5% in 1999 to 6% in 2009.
3) GDP per capita rose from $4,733 in 1999 to $5,672 in 2012.
4) GDP per capita PPP rose from $8,159 in 2000 to $12,748 in 2012.
5) Exports (Oil 80%) increased from record low of $3.6 billion in 1999 to $24.6 billion in 2012.
6) When he came to power there was no state health care. Today every Venezuelan has automatic medical coverage, free.
Yeah, he was one badass mofo. LOL
Chavez used Venezuela's oil wealth responsibly. Everyone benefitted. Populism replaced neoliberal harshness.
DeleteBolivarianism prioritizes vital needs. Living standards improved remarkably. Disadvantaged Venezuelans benefitted most.
Child mortality fell from 20 per 1,000 to 13. Unemployment dropped from 14.5% to 6.4%.
Income inequality is Latin America's lowest. Poverty was cut in half. Extreme poverty fell over 70%. Economic growth in 2011 was 4.8%. In 2012, it was 5.6%. Forecasts estimate 6% in 2013.
Hundreds of thousands of new homes were built. Commerce grew 9.2%. Communications advanced 7.2%. Manufacturing increased 2.1%. Oil sector production increased.
Growth created jobs. Millions got free healthcare and education. They did so for the first time. Pension eligibility tripled.

Bullshit, more than half the population of Caracas are living in barrio bajos. When oil peaked Chavez channeled a small portion of the proceeds into piss poorly managed social programs and thousands of percent more into keeping himself in power. He kicked the middle classes out and fucked up the parts of the economy that were working. Venezuelans face severe shortages of food and medicine on a daily basis, double digit inflation, massively high crime and non-existent infrastructure. He was just another communist plunderer in a stupid red jacket and red beret. He died of cancer, grovelling for his life at the end. Castro also has cancer - great! May these communist cunts burn in hell together stuck to each other's arseholes.
DeleteStop whinging about America and Israel. You won't be such a bleeding heart when a jihadist rapes your wife and murders your children.
Big bad wolf said-
ReplyDeleteAmerica should forget Chavez and rather worry about North Korea threatening a nuclear war .
Yes,wat van china en russia?
Delete@Big Bad Wolf
DeleteWhat most South Africans do not realize is that the first A-bomb acquired by North Korea was one of yours. On route to be dismantled 3 South African A-bombs were stolen by your so called mates "The Chosen Ones". One of the A-bombs was sold on to North Korea. 0ff the six built, Britain took three they were dismantled, components sold and the money raised was used to pay for the British Labour Party’s General Elections.

ReplyDeleteMike your talents are noted on here but you should be writing books for the world to read
Seriously turn that pandoras box into a book
You would have over 1,000,000 copies sold to those overseas and not be in hiding
Consider it seriously! people need to wake up
Fuck Rooster!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anon 1:36...Seriously Mike! I love getting my daily dose of truth...and the world needs to know it too!
ReplyDeleteFrom The Spectator, today's date:
ReplyDelete"Hugo Chavez, who died this week, was not the worst dictator in history. At times he carried off a good impersonation of a slow-learning democrat. But his instincts always remained the same: authoritarian. From first to last, his grabs at power both at home and abroad were propelled by military coup, constitution-gerrymandering and classic demagoguery.
"Despite the risible claims of his apologists across the West, Chavez had all the necessary hallmarks of dictatorship. His infamously haranguing and rambling speeches were run on all channels in Venezuela. His reaction to criticism was anger. When the Catholic church in Venezuela spoke out against his authoritarianism, Chavez turned his ire on the church. The just and fair society he pretended to be creating had one of the worst crime and murder rates in the world.
"Chavez referred to his politics as '21st-century socialism'. In the twilight years of Castro, he hoped to inherit that man's totemic (and pointless) anti-American mantle. It was not to be, and not just because Chavez has predeceased his friend, but because socialism continues to show itself just as incapable of bringing human happiness in the 21st century as it did in the 20th."
Venezuela murder rate soars
ReplyDelete28 Dec 2012
Venezuela, the most violent country in South America, recorded a new high of 21,692 murders this year along with a surge in kidnappings, prison riots and random shootings.
The number of victims was up by 12 per cent from last year when there were 19,336 deaths, the Venezuelan Violence Observatory said in its annual report.
High profile killings included that of a three year-old child, Edgar Torres, who was fired on 10 times while he was asleep in bed, after a gunman had come in to kill a teenage relative.
In August more than 20 people were killed in a battle between two heavily armed groups inside the Yare I prison. More than 300 prisoners died in Venezuelan jails in the first half of the year.
The Mexican ambassador Carlos Pujalte and his wife were seized from their car in a wealthy area of Caracas and held for several hours before being released alive in a slum in January.
Unlike other Latin American countries Venezuela is not involved in a drug war or on-going battle with guerrillas.
But according to the Observatory, a think tank set up by public and private universities, it now has a murder rate of 73 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, compared to 67 in 2011.
The rate is well above neighbouring Colombia, and Mexico which has been engaged in a bloody drug war, and is closing in on Honduras, the country with the highest murder rate.
There are more murders in Venezuela than in the United States and the 27 countries of the European Union combined. In Caracas the murder rate is more than 200 per 100,000 inhabitants.
The Observatory said: "Killings have become a way of executing property crimes, a mechanism to resolve personal conflicts and a way to apply private justice."
President Hugo Chavez, who is recovering from cancer surgery in Cuba, rarely talks about violent crime.
In 2010 when the newspaper El Nacional published a picture of a dozen murder victims at a morgue, a court ordered the newspaper to stop publishing images of violence.
Venezuela's murder rate has soared since Chavez took office in 1999, growing from 4,450 murders in 1998 Criminologists expected the rate to fall with decreasing poverty, but income inequality has fallen dramatically and murders are going up.
In a report earlier this year The Brookings Institution said: "No one would guess Venezuela's crime crisis from looking at these (poverty) figures.
Above all, it offers a cautionary tale about the limits of easy explanations, prescriptions and predictions when it comes to crime."
Estimates put the number of legal and illegal firearms in circulation at between nine and 15 million, in a country of 29 million people.
In June this year the government banned private gun ownership, meaning only the army police and security groups could buy them. It also offered an amnesty allowing people to give up illegal firearms.

Make way for the Chavez Mausoleum
ReplyDeleteCommandante President to be embalmed
Hugo Chavez’s embalmed body is to go on permanent display in a crystal casket.
Acting President Nicolas Maduro confirmed Chavez would lie in state for at least seven more days, before his body is embalmed and transferred to a military museum which will become a permanent memorial.
In a statement, Madura said: “We have decided to prepare the body of our Comandante President to embalm it so that it remains open for all time for the people. Just like Ho Chi Minh. Just like Lenin. Just like Mao Zedong.”
Chavez’s funeral is set to take place later today, with at least 33 heads of government attending, among them Cuban President Raul Castro and Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"Caracas"-
ReplyDeletehis death will do nothing in the short to medium to ease the flow of free oil to the western zog,prices infact have risen.
Hugo Chavez was not a Commie. He was a National Socialist!
ReplyDeleteNeither was he in the pocket of any zog and thus vehemently criticised and despised by the Internationalist Cabal who have a stranglehold on every Western nation.
Just who do you think controls the purse strings of the media outlets slandering Chavez after his death? zog. No surprise there. The very same culprits who lost out to the nationalisation of the oil industry, which harnessed the wealth for the good of Venezuela.
The sudden smear campaigns waged against Chavez to tarnish his character, and the flurry of slurs to denigrate this man’s achievements to uplift his countrymen out from suppression is proof positive of his greatness.
http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/12/14/the-achievements-of-hugo-chavez/
At the time Chavez came to power Venezuela was poverty stricken, undeniably on account of the Internationalist Cabal’s rape of the countries’ coffers, first saddling them with debts they could not hope to pay, then forcing them to acquiesce to political pressure from another zog, the United States, on a variety of issues.
