Against Ignorance

Two Florida Republicans -- Connie Mack and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen -- confirm this dastardly Threat against Motherhood, Apple Pie, Goldman Sachs, and everything else we Americans hold dear.

Venezuelan-Iranian joint ventures, such as car and bicycle factories and milk processing plants are fronts for secret underground uranium enrichment sites where nuclear bombs are being made right now for use against the United States. A commercial flight between Caracas and Teheran [is actually] a “terror flight” used to transport “radioactive materials” and “terrorists”.

So the lesson once again is that we Americans need to be afraid, very VERY afraid, even more afraid than we already are.

Now that Ahmadinejad and Chavez have teamed up, our cities could turn into Mushroom Clouds at any moment. In addition, Venezuelan used-car salesmen tied with Mexican drug cartels have come up with a plan to sell Lemons to the Israeli embassy. The vehicles are infected with a StickyNut virus: When the cars stall, Poor Helpless Defenseless Little Israeli diplomats will find themselves Stuck in the middle of Nowhere.

Venezuela rejects the Cult of Austerity

Chavez added “The only war Venezuela and Iran are waging together is the war against hunger, against poverty, against exclusion” -- but that statement is either Old News or Not Newsworthy, so there's no need to report it.

Apparently, Chavez is rejecting the belief in Austerity Measures. This is a sin called Heresy. Austerity Measures are prescribed by the IMF, the International Community of banksters and war-profiteers, the Free World, and the half of the universe we call "The West" -- in other words, by God. Chavez is setting himself up against God -- against Mammon that is! So let's add the sin of Blasphemy to the charges against Chavez. The last time we saw sins like this was in the Middle Ages, when recalcitrants like Chavez were burnt at the stake for the good of their own souls.

The rest of the article is in the same Old News Not Newsworthy vein:

Over the past few years, as the campaign against Venezuela has intensified, common jargon in mass media referring to Venezuela and President Chavez includes terms such as “dictator”, “authoritarian”, “tyrant”, “terrorist”, “threat” and portrays the Latin American country as a “failed state” where human rights are constantly “violated” and freedom of expression is non-existent. Anyone who has ever visited Venezuela during the Chavez administration knows that not only is there no dictatorship, but democracy is open, vibrant and participatory, free speech flourishes and Venezuelans enjoy more human rights guarantees than their northern neighbors in the United States. Media need be reminded that President Chavez has been elected by more than 60% of the vote in transparent electoral processes with 80% voter participation certified by international observers.

As President Chavez pointed out recently, the Venezuelan government is investing more in social programs and anti-poverty measures each year while countries such as the United States are cutting back social services. In Venezuela, poverty has been reduced by over 50% during the last ten years, thanks to the social policies of the Chavez administration, while in the United States, 1 in 5 children are currently living in extreme poverty. Unemployment in Venezuela was 6.5% in December 2011, while in the US, the rate sat at 8.5%. Exclusion, lack of opportunity, voter abstention and other social ills are on the rise in the United States.

Chavez was also quick to point out that Obama just cut federal assistance for home heating oil costs for low income families, leaving thousands to suffer through a bitter cold winter, choosing between food or warmth. Meanwhile, the Venezuelan government just renewed and expanded its home heating oil assistance program to communities in the US through Citgo, its US-based oil company. For the past 7 years, the Venezuelan company Citgo has been the only oil corporation in the US willing to provide reduced-cost home heating oil to those in need. It’s ironic that the Venezuelan government is helping people in the US while the US government and US companies refuse to do so.

Pay no attention. It's all just words. Who would you rather believe? Hillary Clinton, or some Lying Madman Dictator Tyrant Terrorist who gets elected by forcing people to have heating oil?
