Reply #54: Chavez was restored to power by his own people

[sabrina 1]

after he was nearly ousted by a US backed coup. This war on Venezuela by DC is because Chavez has proven that resource rich countries like Venezuela can succeed on their own, without the World Bank and all the other Global criminal operations. That is not acceptable to the Globalists. Read John Perkins' 'Diary of an Economic Hitman' to get an idea of why Chavez and any other uppity citizen of an oil rich country who harbors the outrageous idea that their oil belongs to them.

He has been re-elected in every election since then and remains extremely popular.

He is a slap in the face to the power mongers who for far too long, kept countries like Venezuela in a state of poverty and oppression.

I'm sure there will be fluctuations in Venezuela's economy, just like any other country. I also think they have smarter people running their government than we had here who are fully aware they cannot run on oil alone. But for a start, keeping their own resources under THEIR control, has helped reduce poverty by over 22%. That is called success. During the same period, poverty rates grew in the US.
