Nuclear Chavez?

Venezuela to develop nuclear "energy" with Russian help.

Can anyone say "Cuban Missile Crisis"?

Instead of standing firm against it, in our own fucking back yard, no doubt ZerØ has signed on to provide the plutonium.

'Cause Chavez is a "democratically elected" leader of that "free nation", don't you know...a fellow "democrat" as it were...and America supports "democracies".

Don't you love how they massacre meaning?

Venezuela President Hugo Chavez said the South American country plans to develop a nuclear energy program with Russia and doesn’t want to build an atomic bomb.

Chavez said that the country’s oil and gas reserves won’t last forever and the government will seek alternative energy sources. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin agreed to help Venezuela’s nuclear energy program during a meeting in Moscow last week, Chavez said.

“We’re not going to make an atomic bomb, so don’t bother us like with Iran,” he said on state television. “We’re going to develop nuclear energy with peaceful purposes.”

Strangely enough, another oil rich country run by a dictator suddenly needs nuclear power.

Of course, I totally believe him.

2009 NewSpeak: "Tyrannizing" is "Democratizing"

What....has Mark Lloyd* moved to Venezuela?

Chavez Minister Vows More Radio Closings

Chavez calls this "democracy"....just like Obama's FCC "Diversity Officer" Mark Lloyd!

(George Orwell's 1984 "Newspeak" had nothin' on these guys!)

Infrastructure Minister Diosdado Cabello closed 34 radio stations in July, saying the government was "democratizing" media ownership.

Reuters reports the "critics" view as though it were just another side of the argument:

Critics say the move limits freedom of expression and has taken critical voices off the airwaves.

Yeah...forcing voices you don't like off the air is either "democratic" or "limiting freedom of expression".

Com si, com sa....whichever...

How would they report the Holocaust?

Chancellor Adolf Hitler is planning to eliminate all Jews from the Fatherland, saying he will "free" Germany of unsavory, anti-German elements.

Critics say the bloody slaughter of millions of Jews is hellish genocide, against all the laws of God and man.

(We at Reuters don't have an opinion on this matter. We don't take sides in political squabbles.)

And just for the record, what can be more "democratic" than ratings?

*Mark Lloyd, Øbama's new FCC "Diversity Officer" who has publicly professed profound admiration for Chavez's treatment of the media, and is chomping at the bit to do the same thing in America. His idea of "democratizing" the radio stations is exactly the same: Get rid of private ownership, and give total power over all media to the government.

I guess he figures Øbama will stay in office forever. If he believed a Conservative—or even a Republican— would ever be elected again, would he really want the Imperial State running all Media?

Is he just stupid, or does he know something we don't?

Just sayin'.

Venezuela, our Future?

I think it might be useful to use Venezuela as a window into the future of America. A convenient looking glass through which we can see what is coming our way.

Øbama is the reflection of Chavez on our side of the mirror.

And here's Hugie's latest pronouncement for the "good of the people".

Does the "Fairnes Doctrine" or "Broadcast Localism" immediately leap to mind?

I thought it might.

It's the LAW

More on Honduras from Red State.

As I pointed out in a previous post. The Honduran Supreme Court ordered Zelaya out of office because he was proceeding with an illegal election in order to extend his own rule beyond that allowed by the Constitution.

And that provision of the Constitution, by law, cannot be amended!

Unlike unfortunate Venezuela's, whose Chavez did exactly the same thing, and got himself instituted dictator for life.

Now...who's more "democratic"? Assuming of course, you reject the idea that free people can "democratically" elect a dictator that does away with the democracy that elected him.

Chavez defends Zelaya

Chavez has plenty to say about his buddy's ouster in Honduras.

The socialist Chavez has in the past threatened to use his armed forces in the region but never followed through. He said that if a new government is sworn in after the coup it would be defeated.

"We will bring them down, we will bring them down, I tell you," he said, while hundreds of red-shirted supporters gathered outside Venezuela's presidential palace in solidarity with Zelaya.

Chavez poses as a defender of liberty and democracy, while threatening interference into a foreign country for his own aims, to support his own pals, and further his socialist totalitarian policies.

Isn't this the asshole that explodes if another leader even says something about his precious self? Yet he'll talk of invasion because he dislikes the situation in another country.

All the same. Super-sized egos for whom the rules do not apply.

Remind you of anyone? (Hint: his initials are Barack Øbama.)
