I mean, blaming the US for his cancer? Give me a fucking break.

1. He's dead.

Maybe we should let him RIP.

2. That screwy, wacky Chavez

doing crazy shit like taking resources away from the rich and the corporations and giving them back to the people.

Or perhaps you don't...the paranoia ver who gave him the cancer is not completely out of place.

Granted, I doubt we did, but thinking that is not entirely wacky if you understood the history of how the US has treated national leaders that defied empire.

Perhaps you should do some reading into what happened in Guatemala in the 1950s, the fall of Alende, all the attempts on Castro, the Central American Wars, operation Condor, and so on and so forth. Then the "wackiness" might actually, gasp I know, make some sense.

As to your OP, I love me some propaganda in the early afternoon.

Oh and for the record, he was no saint...

4. agreed no saint... but he sure helped a lot of folks, despite his imperfection

I am old enough to remember the Church Committee, and all the stuff that was proposed to "get Castro"...

5. It will be a few years

To see the full effect...

As usual we are talking of a complex person.

Yup, he did a lot of good but...especially 2006 on there were some ugly things done...

It will take some time, and to some he will forever be a devil, and for others a saint...nuance...it helps.

6. Chavez had probably been reading up on HAARP. I bet THEY used it to give him cancer because he was

about to blow the whistle on all the things the US Government has done with HAARP already like the earthquake/tsunami in 2004 and the Haiti earthquake just to name two.

Chavez was a threat, so they gave him cancer with HAARP.

Everyone knows that... come on!

Undoubtably!
I saw it on the internets!

Now, if we can somehow connect the BFEE...
