Death of a Despot, Mourned by American Marxists

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton  -  The NoisyRoom

Ding dong… The Venezuelan dictator is dead at the age of 58 from pelvic cancer. He literally rotted from within, just as his soul did. Good riddance, to Marxist rubbish.

But Hugo Chavez’s comrades in the US and across the planet mourn his passing. Grief stricken Leftists such as Sean Penn…who tweeted: I have lost a dear friend, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Danny Glover, Michael Moore, Jimmy Carter, Oliver Stone, Naomi Campbell, Kevin Spacey, Courtney Love, Barack Obama, SEIU (who held a memorial) and a cadre of Hollywood reds are devastated by the loss of their Marxist brethren, who in the end, begged that his subjects not let him die. Iran, Bolivia, China and El Salvador all held tributes to their evil compadre. George Galloway of Britain called him a ‘Spartacus.’ You are who you associate with and mourn for. A fitting end to a crushing, cowardly rule. I don’t hold much hope that his death will free Venezuela though. His second in command will probably succeed him and he is just as insane and just as ruthless as his mentor. May G-d have mercy on Venezuela.

All throughout the media I hear how Chavez was a champion of the underdog, the poor of Venezuela. Really? The only one Chavez championed was himself. He was rumored to be worth approximately 2 billion when he died. People are starving and dying in the streets of Venezuela, while this evil loon ransacked every dime he could from their coffers. Oil kept Chavez fat and sassy until death came knocking.

In fact, Venezuela sounds eerily like America these days. We are following in her Marxist footsteps in so many ways. Our unemployment rate (according to the sycophant Obama media) fell to 7.7% today. What an incredible manipulation (which will be revised in days no doubt) — a record 89,304,000 Americans are now not in the labor force, having given up during Obama’s Keynesian reign of terror — 296,000 fewer are employed since January. The real unemployment rate is closer to 25%, but the elite in power will never tell the truth. They’ll just keep spewing propaganda figuring we’ll believe anything they say. Just like the Venezuelans.

For instance… Before Chavez left this planet for a warmer climate, on paper, it showed that incomes were increasing in Venezuela. In reality, inflation decreased household income by 8.8%. But goods rose by 27% in costs. Gee, sounds a lot like what America is experiencing doesn’t it? Brought to you by American Marxists. Their currency has been downgraded several times as well – 5 times in fact. The last time devaluing it by a whopping 32%. He tripled their national deficit and their debt increased by 90% in his previous term. They are on the verge of bankruptcy and we are right behind them. He certainly enacted his redistributionist, welfare state-expanding, centrally planned economic agenda well, didn’t he?

Some facts on Chavez:

• He created worker-owned “cooperatives” to act as a substitute for corporations, which he relentlessly propped up with government funding.
• He started grocery stores that would deliberately sell food below market value so as to run capitalist alternatives out of business.
• Eventually, he set price controls on food.
• He seized land belonging to rich Venezuelans and redistributed it to poor ones.
• He nationalized telephone companies, electricity companies, cement production, food plants (even those owned by foreign entities), coffee plants, rice fields and banks.
• He pulled Venezuela out of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, accusing both entities of exploitation.
• He even seized control of the media.
• His slogan was: “Motherland, socialism or death.”

From Sultan Knish:

Chavez had swollen the ranks of Venezuela’s public employees to 2.5 million in a country where the 15-64 population numbered only 18 million. With 1 public employee to every 7 working adults, the entire mess was subsidized by oil exports and debt. When the price of oil fell, only debt was left.

Those public employees became Chavez’s campaign staff with no choice but to vote for him or see their positions wiped out to keep the economy from crashing. And they won him one last election.

The dead tyrant leaves behind the lowest GDP growth rate and highest inflation rate in Latin America. He leaves behind an economy where more than half the population depends on government benefits or government jobs. He leaves behind a giant pile of debt for the people and 2 billion dollars in misappropriated oil money for his heirs.

It seems to me that Obama has indeed turned America into Venezuela. But, it would seem, that Chavez was not Leftist enough for many of those supporting Obama in the US. Which portends very bad things that Obama and his foot soldiers have in store for the American people, as if we didn’t already know that.

And if that is not sobering enough, let’s move on to the ghoulish. I tweeted on this yesterday when I heard that Chavez’s body would be put on permanent display — just like Joseph Stalin. So, the people of Venezuela will be subjected to this ghastly reminder of repression forever. Sickening. The Castro-loving Commie just won’t stay dead. The only thing Chavez succeeded at was bringing the equality of crushing poverty to his people and yet he will lie in state for people to view — or else. Evil despots don’t die, they morph into martyrs and political tools for oppression.

People seem to have forgotten, that this so-called ‘peaceful Marxist’ came to power after two violent military coups. Over 300 people died so he could seize control. Bumps in the road, I’m sure. He then changed the constitution, eliminating the senate and extending his term. A revolt ensued. He then fired 18,000 workers and gave complete control to the unions which he himself controlled. Wait a minute… Deja vu – the feeling that you have been screwed by this Marxist before — only his name is Obama.

So, while a Venezuelan despot has gone to his richly deserved spot in Hades, our American Marxist government and elites mourn him. They have certainly emulated him and will keep doing so as they bring the lid down on America and attempt to finish her destruction. Can you smell a revolt brewing?

Supporters of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez mourn his death and gather for his funeral.

Two corrupt Dems head US Delegation to the Chavez funeral.  First up, Congressman Gregory Meeks who in 2011 was listed as one of the most corrupt members of Congress, making him the perfect choice. And the second man is none other than Congressman William Delahunt.  Massachusetts wanted bargain oil prices to help it through the winter. Venezuelan tyrant Hugo Chávez wanted influence in Washington. Leave it to the Congressman from the Commonwealth and a Kennedy to close the deal.  So now the United States sent two corrupt Democrat Congressmen, who had dubious relationships with Chavez, as the American delegation to Chavez’s funeral.

The only question is why they decided to leave out Sean Penn.  But not to worry, the Reverend Jesse Jackson Jr. was there along with two dozen disreputable world leaders not only to bid farewell to the late Hugo Chavez at a lengthy, emotional funeral, but to speak. Rev. Jackson, the man who helped arrange the Obama marriage, portrayed the Venezuelan president as a hero of the poor, while pushing for the nation’s rapprochement with the United States. Jesse Jackson also compared Marxist Hugo Chavez to First 15 US Presidents.

"How do we measure a great leader? By how he treats the least of these," Jackson said in his eulogy, standing before Chavez’s flag-draped coffin at the military academy in Caracas. "Hugo fed the hungry. He lifted the poor. He raised their hopes. He helped them realize their dreams."  Really?  Maybe he should have done a little homework before going there, but as we have all learned… once you have drunk the Kool-Aid, facts don’t matter.  AskMarion~

Michael Savage offers Gingrich $1M to drop out!

Why?? 'His continued candidacy spells nothing but ruin for conservatives'

Newt Gingrich

Talk-radio host Michael Savage says America can't survive another four years of Barack Obama, and he's putting his money where his mouth is, offering Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich $1 million to drop out of the race within 72 hours.

Savage says that while rival Mitt Romney is not entirely satisfying to conservatives, the former Massachusetts governor can beat Obama. Gingrich, on the other hand, according to Savage, is "unelectable."

"If Newt Gingrich really loves this country as much as he says he does, if he really wants what is best for America, he will set his ego aside, call me and accept my offer," Savage wrote on his website today.

"His continued candidacy spells nothing but ruin for conservatives, Republicans and all true American patriots," he continued. "One million dollars in exchange for preserving the nation, Newt. I say take the money … and don't run."

Savage noted that the Republican presidential field has come down to two candidates who have a real chance of getting the nomination, Gingrich and Romney.

"While it's true that Romney is not as strong a conservative as many would like him to be, the most pressing issue before America today is defeating Barack Obama," he said. "And that is something Newt Gingrich cannot do."

Savage outlined the reasons he believes Gingrich can't win the general election:

• When he was speaker of the House, he failed to deliver on his so-called Contract with America;
• He made ads with Nancy Pelosi promoting the false theory of global warming;
• He's in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens;
• He's taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two of the most corrupt financial institutions in history;
• He's cheated on two wives, which will destroy his chances among female voters;
• He called the Republican plan to reform Medicare "right-wing social engineering";
• In a presidential debate against Obama, regardless of how well he does, on television he will come off badly compared to Obama and look like nothing more than what he is: A fat, old white man.

Last week on his nationally syndicated show, Savage warned that if Obama wins re-election, America will become like Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's dictatorship.

Savage's show airs live Monday through Friday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern. It can be heard online through stations such as WTNT in the nation's capital.

As WND reported, Savage's show is ranked No. 2 in listenership among all talk-radio shows streamed on the Internet, according to Talk Stream Live.

BECK SAYS CHAVEZ NOT HAPPY ABOUT PLANNED STOP IN VENEZUELA

On radio Thursday, Glenn Beck told his audience that while on his way to South Africa, there was a curious incident that occurred during a planned stopover in Egypt.* But what we didn’t know yesterday is why. Now we do: it’s partly because of Hugo Chavez.

Beck told the Chavez-related story on his show Friday, and said that Chavez raised questions about Beck’s planned stop in Venezuela, and those questions were relayed to Beck during his stop in Egypt.

“I am informed by [my chief of staff] Joe that Hugo Chavez wanted a detailed itinerary of what I was planning on doing in Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela, and Hugo didn’t like it, and he would not allow my plane to land in Venezuela,” he explained.

Beck is planning on visiting South America as part of a special leg of a global human rights campaign.

Despite the push back from Chavez, however, Beck may have gotten the last laugh. According to him, he has “found a way” to still get his message across in the dictator’s country: via technology.*

“Hugo believes that he is going to stop people like me from speaking out and speaking their mind,” Beck said.

Listen to beck tell the story below (HERE):

*We‘ve updated the story after getting some more details from Beck’s camp about the stop and the incident…

Venezuelan Communist Dictator's Takeover Virtually Complete… and Why It Matters to You

The biggest problem with the Communist takeover happening in Venezuela is that they have petro-dollars (oil money) to offset the massive inefficiencies of Hugo Chavez' Communist Regime, thus making it APPEAR to be a successful Communist nation. Having built up its economy during decades of Capitalism, they have now seized total power, and have oil dollars upon which to fall back. Hugo Chavez now has the power granted him by the Venezuelan Socialist-dominated legislature to rule by decree.

Think of Chavez' new power as Executive Orders on steroids.
He can do anything, and make it legal by the stroke of a pen. That was the path we were on in February of 2009, until the American people did what the Venezuelans failed to do: we fought back, and in January, we'll have the lower house of Congress back in our hands. But it's interesting to note that even with these new dictatorial powers, Hugo Chavez is behind Obama & George Soros in taking control of his nation's financial sector. The Obama Regime beat the Chavez Regime to the punch on that one.

Just imagine where we'd be if the Democrats had somehow won filibuster-proof majorities in both houses, because the 9.12 Project/Tea Party movement never happened? Obama would have beaten Chavez to in this area, as well. But now we can see our way clear to the Restoration of America (after continuing our fight for several more years, obviously!) at a bright point in our future.
And Venezuela? I fear greatly for their future. Hugo Chavez' opposition has finally united in the face of this growing threat, but it may be too little, too late. Here's the story from Reuters:

UPDATE 6-Venezuela assembly gives Chavez decree powers

Fri Dec 17, 2010 6:24pm EST  -  By Frank Jack Daniel

* Socialist president given powers for 18 months
* Chavez had asked for one year
* Move is part of a raft of legislation
* Parliament also passed tough new banking rules (Adds details, background)

CARACAS, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Venezuela's parliament gave President Hugo Chavez decree powers for 18 months on Friday, outraging opposition parties that accused him of turning South America's biggest oil producer into a dictatorship.

The move consolidated the firebrand socialist leader's hold on power after nearly 12 years in office, and raised the prospect of a fresh wave of nationalizations as the former paratrooper seeks to entrench his self-styled "revolution."

Chavez had asked for the fast-track powers for one year, saying he needed them to deal with a national emergency caused by floods that drove nearly 140,000 people from their homes
But the Assembly, which is dominated by loyalists from his Socialist Party, decided to extend them for a year and a half.

That means the president can rule by decree until mid-2012, and can keep opposition parties out of the legislative process until his re-election campaign is well under way for Venezuela's next presidential vote in December of that year.

The president of parliament, Cilia Flores, said lawmakers must heed the appeals of families afflicted by the floods.

"It is raised to 18 months at the proposal of those immediately affected, the same people who are there relying on Comandante Chavez," she told the Assembly.

"So that they can have their streets, their highways, public services, electricity, everything to live in dignity, we are going to hear these proposals and concerns."

The vote was part of a legislative onslaught to push through bills before a new National Assembly is seated on Jan. 5. Earlier on Friday, parliament passed a law making it easier for the government to nationalize banks and trim their profits.

FOCUS ON 2012
The "Enabling Law," which means the president can issue decrees across a wide range of areas including housing, land, finances and security, has been denounced as autocratic by his political rivals as well as by the U.S. State Department.

A freshly united opposition coalition won about half the popular vote at a parliamentary election in September to take 40 percent of the seats in the next Assembly -- where they had hoped to put a check on the president's powers.

Chavez's latest move raised concern about whether he would accept defeat if the 2012 election does not go his way. Polls show his traditionally high ratings have slipped, with the nation split down the middle in September elections.

The president, who has used decree powers three times in the past, has said one of his first moves will be to increase the sales tax to raise funds for reconstruction after the floods.
In the past he has used the fast-track powers to pass about 100 laws, including measures to nationalize part of the oil sector and increase the number of Supreme Court judges.

The new banking law passed earlier on Friday creates stringent operating rules that include forcing banks to give 5 percent of their profits every six months to community groups.

It also allows Chavez to order the takeover of institutions that he deems problematic, a move previously made by the banking watchdog. Chavez has increased the state's role in the sector this year, but a total takeover of banking is unlikely.

Chavez, who has inherited Fidel Castro's mantle as Latin America's leading U.S. critic, still has a strong power base in city slums and impoverished rural areas.  (Castro has recently admitted that his experiment in Cuba that destroyed generations was a mistake.)

Although his foes' view him as an autocrat ushering in Cuban-style communism, supporters say he is redressing years of imbalance and has encouraged democracy by giving power and funds to grass-roots groups that decide on some public works.

The Obama/Soros/Progressive Globalist plan was to do exactly the same thing simultaneously here in the United States.  It didn’t (hasn’t) happened because of the Tea Party Movement, people like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Mark Stein, Laura Ingraham, Judge Andrew Napolitano, Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee and a long list of other Libertarian, Conservative, Patriotic and Constitution loving bell-ringers on radio, TV, the Internet, on the ground and with the written word who have little by little educated and illuminated the public with news and information they would never have gotten from the mainstream media (MSM) or even in school.

The left knows this so are now attacking freedom of the press, speech and information through the FCC, even though Congress and the courts have voted/ruled against net-neutrality and told the FCC that the have no jurisdiction to control the Internet.

While most of us will be celebrating or still Christmas shopping, the FCC will be meeting on December 21st in an attempt to try to regulate and essentially takeover the Internet and control Conservative and Independent voices on the radio and other media…

Fellow American Patriot,

Barack Obama has a "Christmas surprise" for the American people. It's based upon the FCC's self-imposed December 21 deadline to implement new Internet rules.

Via the FCC, Mr. Obama wants to take control of the Internet---YOUR Internet---your ability to contact your friends, your relatives, and your elected representatives in government.
This "stealth" use of new rules and regulations will sneak up on us just before Christmas. Quite frankly, not too many people know about this; or really take the notion seriously, because, after all, we have the 1st Amendment to the U. S. Constitution to protect us. Right? Wrong!

The FCC is ready to add the Internet to its "portfolio" of regulated industries. The Obama Administration wants to take control of the Internet. BEFORE CHRISTMAS! (even though the regulations won't "officially" go into effect until after the holidays. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski announced that he has circulated "draft rules" that he says will "preserve the freedom and openness of the Internet." No statement---I call it a bald face lie---reflects the vast gulf between the rhetoric and the reality of Obama Administration policy.
Obama's FCC is ready to steal our Internet freedom by simply declaring it has the "right" to regulate it. Here's the underlying problem for Barack Obama. Internet journalists tend to report the news without coloring it with the brush of "political correctness." They challenge the lies that the Obama Administration puts out that the so-called "mainstream media" simply accept and repeat as the truth.

Please, CLICK HERE to send a FAX to every single Member of Congress TODAY, and tell them that they need to exercise their Constitutional authority and oversight over the FCC, by insisting that the FCC postpone the implementation of these new regulations until proper Congressional Committee hearings are held to determine whether the Executive Branch has the Constitutional authority to take over the Internet. Three federal judges in three different cases have already ruled that the Internet deserves the same protection under the First Amendment as printed material receives. AND, please be sure to send a sizeable DONATION to the United States Justice Foundation (USJF) as we keep this Internet freedom issue before the eyes of every Member of Congress. We must not let the federal government continue to whittle away at our Constitutional freedoms!

We must be prepared to do battle with the intrusive FCC federal regulations that will clamp down on our 1st Amendment rights via the Internet. To protect our free speech rights on the Internet, we must fax every single Member of Congress and let them know they must NOT agree to the upcoming December 21st regulations! Will you do that for yourself and for the rest of us... today---please? This is so important; let me repeat my request so you understand the extreme urgency. Because, historically, when government seizes liberty, it's gone forever.

According to the Washington Times: "With a straight face, Mr. Genachowski suggested that government red tape will increase the 'freedom' of online services that have flourished because bureaucratic busybodies have been blocked from tinkering with the Web. Ordinarily, it would be appropriate at this point to supply an example from the proposed regulations illustrating the problem. Mr. Genachowski's draft document has over 550 footnotes and is stamped 'non-public, for internal use only' to ensure nobody outside the agency sees it until the rules are approved in a scheduled December 21 vote. So much for 'openness.'

Mr. Obama will use the FCC plans to implement control of cyberspace by issuing regulations. He blatantly insists that he has the right to regulate the Internet through the FCC---which regulates the other electronic mediums: radio and television. What Mr. Obama really means is that as long as the American people have unfettered access to the Internet, he cannot continue to spread his propaganda and bald face lies without being challenged, and he will be a one-term visitor at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Make no mistake; Barack Hussein Obama is very determined to undermine free speech by seizing cyber-control Internet free speech; under the disguise of making sure our safety and security are of prime importance. The recent WikiLeaks fiasco has helped him to rationalize this tremendous increase of government control to the American public.

Freedom and openness should continue to be the governing principles of the Internet. That's why Mr. Genachowski's December 21 proposals should be STOPPED by Members of Congress. In fact, both the U. S. Senate and the House of Representatives should make it even clearer that the FCC should STOP trying to expand its REGULATORY EMPIRE and should STOP trying to control our freedom of speech over the internet!

In the administration's zeal to "protect the people," the social progressive zealots in the Obama federal bureaucracy are not averse to writing the rules and regulations like this. It makes a clear statement. It takes away our freedoms on the Internet; but it is all under the claim of "protection."
That's why the proposed FCC Internet rules and regulations---THAT ARE ABOUT TO BE IMPLEMENTED without Congressional legislation being enacted---must be stopped by that Body whose legislative authority has been abridged.

That is why YOU must get involved this very moment!

Please. Do NOT sit idly by and calmly surrender your freedoms on the Internet. Please fax every single Member of Congress. (And don't forget to give a generous donation to USJF.)
Don't let the Obama Administration give you a government "Merry Christmas" via Internet controls. Send Barack Obama your personal "BAH, HUMBUG!"

Say "Merry Christmas" with a message that STOPS the federal government from crossing that Constitutional line by seizing the Internet. Barrack Hussein Obama blames the Tea Party Revolution, and the results of the 2010 election, on the American conservatives' unfettered access to the Internet. That appears to be the real reason that the Obama Administration authorized the FCC power grab to regulate the Internet. Obama talking heads might refer to regulation as a form of "Net Neutrality," or a cyber-version of the "Fairness Doctrine." But, plain and simple, it is plain, old fashioned, censorship of the views of a majority by a frightened minority who want to silence that majority. Are you part of the no-longer "silent" majority which believes that the 1st Amendment protects our right to speak our mind, in the public forum of the Internet, or at a Town Hall meeting? Free speech is free. Don't let anyone regulate your right to speak. Get involved. Now. Today.

Please, CLICK HERE to send a FAX to every single Member of Congress TODAY and tell them that they need to exercise their Constitutional authority and oversight over the FCC by insisting that the FCC postpone the implementation of these new regulations until proper Congressional Committee hearings are held to determine whether the Executive Branch has the Constitutional authority to take over the Internet. Three federal judges in three different cases have already ruled that the Internet deserves the same protection under the First Amendment as printed material receives. AND, please be sure to send a sizeable DONATION to the United States Justice Foundation (USJF) as we keep this Internet freedom issue before the eyes of every Member of Congress. We must not let the federal government continue to whittle away at our Constitutional freedoms!

When it comes to the Internet, bipartisan majorities in Congress have insisted on maintaining a strict hands-off policy whenever the left has proposed legislation to impose censorship through regulation. A federal appeals court confirmed this in April, by striking down the FCC's last attempt to do it. In order for the FCC to take this control, it needs Congress to give it explicit statutory authority to do so. Since they have chosen not to, Mr. Obama intends to just do it himself. The Obama Administration is overstepping its Constitutional boundaries? These proposed regulations prove that!

December 21 is only days away.

That's why we must Fax every Member of Congress, RIGHT NOW, to stop this government intrusion into our private, on-line, communications. We have not witnessed this kind of government intrusion since FDR tried to regulate newspapers in 1933.

Freedom of the Press is guaranteed by the First Amendment. Federal judges have ruled specifically that the Internet has the exact same freedoms. But the Obama Administration is trying to control the Internet... and YOU!

 

On December 1, with an impending implementation on December 21st, Mr. Genachowski announced to the media that he had circulated his draft rules memo. He said it will "... preserve the freedom and openness of the Internet," adding that the federal government will increase the freedom of online services because, he noted, heavy use in some areas of the Internet slow the "web experience" for everyone sharing the same information superhighway lines.

Even though that may be partially true, the United States government should not dictate to us what we can and cannot do on the Internet. Period.

Will you assist us to make sure that our Internet remains OURS, not Barack Obama's?
Please, give us your support, right now, by faxing every Member of Congress.

Although the federal judiciary has extended First Amendment protection to the Internet, Barack Obama believes that he has the executive authority, WITHOUT legislation enacted by Congress, to arbitrarily regulate who uses cyberspace and what access they may enjoy, based entirely on the content of the material that they wish to publish there. If this isn't a violation of our basic rights as Americans, I do not know what is!

I must hear from you NOW!

Thank you for your desire to keep the Internet FREE,

Gary G. Kreep, Esq.
Executive Director
United States Justice Foundation

P. S. - At USJF, our goal is to keep a watchful eye on the unlawful expansion of government. That's why we must keep the Internet totally free from FCC rules and regulations. Please respond ASAP, as these regulations will voted into effect on December 21, 2010. Send the FCC our version of "Merry Christmas!"

Venezuela acquires 1,800 antiaircraft missiles from Russia

By Juan Forero

Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, December 11, 2010; 6:19 PM

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA -

Russia delivered at least 1,800 shoulder-fired antiaircraft missiles to Venezuela in 2009, U.N. arms control data show, despite vigorous U.S. efforts to stop President Hugo Chavez's stridently anti-American government from acquiring the weapons.

The United States feared that the missiles could be funneled to Marxist guerrillas fighting Colombia's pro-American government or Mexican drug cartels, concerns expressed in U.S. diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks and first reported in the Spanish newspaper El Pais.

It had been unclear how many of the Russian SA-24 missiles were delivered to Venezuela, though the transfer itself was not secret. Chavez showed off a few dozen at a military parade in April 2009, saying they could "deter whatever aerial aggression against our country." A high-level Russian delegation told American officials in Washington in July of that year that 100 of the missiles had been delivered in the first quarter of 2009.

Then earlier this year, Russia reported to the U.N. Register of Conventional Arms, which records the transnational sale of weaponry, that the deal totaled 1,800 missiles.

The U.N. registry did not reveal the model of the delivered weaponry. But the American commander for military forces in Latin America, Air Force Gen. Douglas Fraser, publicly expressed concern this year that Venezuela was purchasing as many as 2,400 of the missiles, also called the IGLA-S.

Matt Schroeder, a missile expert at the Federation of American Scientists in Washington, said the missiles are among the most sophisticated in the world and can down aircraft from 19,000 feet.

"It's the largest recorded transfer in the U.N. arms registry database in five years, at least. There's no state in Latin America of greater concern regarding leakage that has purchased so many missiles," he said, referring to reports of Venezuelan arms flowing to Colombian guerrillas.

The database also shows that from 2006 through 2008, Russia delivered to Venezuela 472 missiles and launching mechanisms, 44 attack helicopters and 24 combat aircraft, purchases funded by Venezuelan oil sales.

A self-styled Socialist who claims that successive U.S. governments want to topple him, Chavez told his countrymen during the 2009 military parade that "we don't want war with anyone, but we are obligated to prepare." Months later, in December 2009, he said in a nationally televised address that "thousands of missiles are arriving" but did not say what kind.

Secret American cables said that the United States was concerned about the Chavez government's acquisition of Russian arms, which also included attack helicopters, Sukhoi fighter planes and 100,000 Kalashnikov assault rifles.

A State Department cable on Aug. 10, 2009, to embassies in Europe and South America said Russian sales to Venezuela total "over $5 billion last year and growing." There was also concern about Spain's plans to sell aircraft and coastal patrol boats to Venezuela.

The cables show how both the Bush and Obama administrations tried to stop the arms sales by highlighting the possibility that the weapons could end up with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, a rebel group that Colombian officials say has received material support from Chavez's government.

"In early March, Secretary Clinton raised the sale with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov," the August 2009 cable says, referring to Hillary Rodham Clinton and Russia's foreign minister.

A cable from Washington to Moscow dated Feb. 14, 2009, said FARC computer files seized by Colombia's army indicated that Venezuela tried to facilitate arms market deals for the rebels. It expressed fear that missiles acquired by the FARC, which is mired in the drug trade, could wind up with Mexican cartels that "are actively seeking to acquire powerful and highly sophisticated weapons."

Chavez has long denied that his government assists the FARC. A spokeswoman for the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington said diplomats there could not respond to the allegations by U.S. officials. The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry in Caracas did not respond to phone calls.

The August 2009 cable notes that Russian ammunition sold to Venezuela was found in FARC hands and that U.S. officials raised the issue with Russian diplomats visiting Washington.

The American efforts to derail Russian and Spanish arms sales to Venezuela appeared to strain U.S. relations with both countries.

In a meeting in Moscow in 2005, Anatoliy Antonov, who oversaw disarmament issues for the Russian foreign ministry, told a U.S. Embassy official that Washington was trying to restrict Russian access to the arms market.

The United States also urged Spain to halt the sales of patrol boats, ocean-going corvettes, C-295 transport planes and patrol aircraft to Venezuela, a deal the Spanish government said was worth $1.7 billion and would help revive the country's shipbuilding industry.

The Spanish cemented the sale of the vessels to Venezuela, but the United States blocked the sale of the aircraft because they used sophisticated American electronics.

Irked that Washington had halted the aircraft sale, the foreign minister at the time, Miguel Angel Moratinos, lamented that the United States "did not recognize Spain's positive steps but only focused on negative episodes in the relationship," according to a cable written by the ambassador in January 2006.

"We are the eighth-largest power in the world but the USG treats us like a fifth-rate power," Moratinos told the ambassador, referring to the U.S. government.

Wikileaks… the Revolution has Begun!!

Wikileaks is a huge story, but the story is not just what you see and definitely not what is being reported.

Everyone is arguing about the wrong thing… Everyone sees and is focusing on the wrong thing, in large part because of how it is being reported and because of that reporting, people are not making the proper of full connections.

If you missed the show on Wikileaks, you owe it to yourself to watch it here:  Wikileaks videos 1 – 3

TIME MAGAZINE to name Julian Assange ‘MAN OF THE YEAR’

Julian Assange calls for anarchy, complete removal of US ‘chain of command’ including Obama
Wire Update ^ | December 6, 2010 | Joe Brooks

http://wireupdate.com/wires/12995/julian-assange-calls-for-anarchy-complete-removal-of-us-chain-of-command-including-president-obama/

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2637952/posts

In an interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange demanded the complete removal of every United States leader, from the lowest government official all the way to the highest office, for their involvement in spying on UN officials — including the resignation of President Barack Obama. In other words, anarchy.

"The whole chain of command who was aware of this order, and approved it, must resign if the US is to be seen to be credible nation that obeys the rule of law," Assange told the newspaper through an internet phone call. "The order is so serious it may well have been put to the president for approval. Obama should say what he knew about this illegal order and when he knew it. If he refuses to answer or provide no evidence that approved those actions, he should resign."

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary anarchy is described as an absence of government, a state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority, and a utopian society of individuals who enjoy complete freedom without government.

The ‘big picture’ behind Wikileaks is huge, but it is only a small part of the Perfect Storm.  Please pay attention, do your own homework, share what you find and think out of the box!!

Dec 9, 2010  -  The Revolution has Begun!!

The Revolution Has Begun PART 1   -  CLICK FOR VIDEO

If you were going to takeover a nation, what would you have to do? What would you have to control?

Control the Financial Sector  -  Done

Control Healthcare  - Done

Control Industry  - Done

Control the Military – They are wearing them down bit by bit and cutting their funds bit by bit

Grow Dependence – Done (Cloward and Piven)

Control the Media  - Will be Done this Month

Control the Food (and Water) Supplies  -  Done (Food Safety Bill was snuck into the budget bill yesterday)

This is exactly what the Progressive have now done… They have already accomplished all of the above except take over the media, which will happen soon!!

The new spending budget finally passed and in it are huge allotments for new regulations… to be used by Cass Sunstein our Regulatory Czar, but our military has gotten the smallest raise ever in 50-years.  They also attached the dangerous Food Safety Bill, giving the government control of growing, sharing, storing and selling food, seeds as well as supplements.

Beck has spoken to professors and experts from all over.

Does anyone find the timing of the FCC hearing this month on controlling the Internet odd??  Just as we have the Wikileaks disaster?

The Progressive left has been working on the top down, bottom up, inside out movement for a long time and once Obama was elected it was sped up!!  Self-avowed Communist former Czar Van Jones is at the forefront of this movement.  He says the next frontier is taking the power of the racists… Racists to them are average American, patriots, tea party members, constitutionalists, conservative media etc. 

Keep remembering the goal:  get the bottom to rise up, turn the middle inside out and cause the top to collapse.

Revolutionaries are running the White House as well as the power groups around the world.  And they know that you must control the media… that is what the FCC Internet and  power grab is all about.

The Revolution Has Begun PART 2 -  CLICK FOR VIDEO

5-days after a representative of George Soros’ met with Glenn Beck’s representative… to tell Beck and Fox to join the movement or get out of the way, the onslaught began.  They told Beck that the ship had already sailed… that he and Fox could not stop it. They also announced another boycott of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh plus Jon Stossel…

We are being purposely pitted against each other!!

This is the year, 2010, that you (our ancestors) will read in the history books of the future when the U.S. handed the torch to China… like in 1919 when Great Britain handed the torch to America. 

Video:  Chinese Professor – Fall of the America

We must preserve our history!!  If you haven’t been, please start recording and then burning Beck’s shows to DVD and share them plus your own research with as many people as you can.

There is still hope.  The hope is God, the Constitution, knowing our history, preparedness and standing against what is coming in peace and with self-reliance. 

Remember when Michelle Obama said right after the election that we all needed to change how we thought… how we saw things.

The future of America, freedom and our children and grandchildren depends on our actions.  And each of us is needed!!

Anyone who speaks out against Wikileaks is being attacked, spear-headed by Operation Payback.  MasterCard, Sarah Palin, Visa, and any social sites who do not support them.

Mark Lloyd our diversity Czar says that Chavez in Venezuela would never have been able to takeover if he had not been able to takeover the media.  Mark Lloyd has always openly admired Chavez~

The chaos has begun…  On Thursday, Prince Charles and Camilla’s car was attacked in Britain.

(Was it an accident that their bullet proof car with them in it was going through this riot area?)

Who is backing Wikileaks: Socialist Alliance, The One Nation Event Coalition,  The War Resistors League, Wade Radke (founder of Acorn), AFSCME (the government workers union… with Socialist ties. Their head is a former national secretary of the SDS… with Weather Underground ties)  the American Communist Party, Soicalist Party USA etc etc. (December 5th in Connecticut the Communist party gave an award to head of the Connecticut chapter of the AFL-CIO. John Olsen.. and he said he was proud to get it and stand with them… enemy of enemy is my friend type of thinking)

Cold Blood says, “We will boycott anyone and anything that does not support Wikileaks!”  Chaos is the goal… to destroy our way of life… the American Republic.

Wikileaks and their backers are trying to create enough chaos to give the Fed a reason to lock down America internally and take even more of freedoms.  None of this is an accident!

We are now being presented with false choices on all fronts.  If you go back to almost every bill or action this administration has forced on us, there has always been an incident or crisis to affect and justify what they want or to divert our attention… or both!

All of a sudden Eric Holder is on the forefront of the campaign to shut Wikileaks down (but not after the first set was released)  and control the Internet… right at the perfect time when; just in time for the FCC Hearings (December 17th).  Coincidental???  Probably not!?! (Regulating the Internet will not make it better!  It will give the government the right to scan, scrub, slant and limit the information that you can access and post and how you post and read it.  The powers that be are already doing much of that but once it becomes legal the intrusion and control of information will quadruple…)

There is a long list of people urging punishing that Assange and Wikileaks should be taken down… (Some will even be fooled into thinking that having the government regulate the Internet is a good thing or necessary, also part of the plan.)  Some are Progressives and are part of the plan… some have just not put it all together yet…  Please look at everything in a new way… out of the box.  We are in a battle against a Global Revolution.

Keep remembering the goal:  get the bottom to rise up, turn the middle inside out and cause the top to collapse.

We must all be thinking out of the box…  We must all prepare ourselves.   We must be willing to stand-up but peaceably.  We must refuse to buy in and avoid violence (unless it is a matter of life and death)

Obama, Soros, and the Progressive Movement are playing 3-dimensional chess with us.  They feed on fear and violence! 

The only way to win is to not react as they expect us to.  Stay peaceful.  Do not stop protesting peacefully.  Teach and inspire your children and grandchildren with God, the Constitution and American History.

America is going to change… but if we do it correctly, it could end up being better!!

Arianna Huffington is supporting cyber-pirates shouting chaos like Julian Assange, but attacks Glenn Beck who honestly gathers the truth and shares it.  Time to ask yourself why??  Time to share your thoughts and knowledge with all you know and then ask them about their thoughts on why…?

Nobody knows what the effects of the upcoming FCC hearings may bring. It could be the end to blogs like these, to free speech on the Internet, to free speech on the radio, to programs like Glenn Beck.  It may be the end to most information that gives you any alternative to the mainstream media that is controlled and run by the Progressive left.  Arm yourself if knowledge quickly… just in case!!

But remember the quote of the Earl of Sandwich talking about , “If only they would produce 200,000 of these fellows instead of only 40,000 or 50,000.  It would make the victory, so much easier!”   Really??  He underestimated George Washington!  (George Washington's Sacred Fire)

The moral: Do not underestimate the American Spirit!!  And it only takes a percentage of Americans to wake-up and stand-up to win in the long run!!

Beck had so much to cover today that he ran out of time and continued online after the show (below):

Good Video, but a little out of sync…

The people in power… the Progressives are not geniuses, but they have a plan and they view us as idiots.  We are not idiots and we outnumber them and are just as smart as they, if not smarter, but we need a plan!!

An idiot with a plan can beat a genius anytime… We all need to get a plan!  Their plan:  The fundamental transformation of America… something Barack Hussein Obama ran on!  (They will separate us as much as possible including using the race card)  It is also not an accident the president has never reached to seniors to help with anything… they are liability, expendable to their movement, because revolutionary change is “of and from the ignorant young” who have no idea of history and what is coming.

Who are these people?  The Union Leadership… the Ideological Elites… the Heads of the Progressive Movement and the Media they Control

In addition to the onslaught from the left, if you wan to be part of the solution, you must recognize the real problems:

The Government

Spending

Lack of Merit, Honor and Honesty

Lack of Common Sense Being Used by Us

The government and the Progressives understand that:

Robert McChesney said in 2008, “No one thinks any longer that media reform is an issue to solve ‘after’ the revolution.’  Everyone understands that with the media reform, there will be no revolution!”  That is what net-neutrality or whatever you call it… the FCC taking over Internet, talk radio and who knows what else is all about on December 17th.  They are circumventing the Congress and the Courts… that should scare the Hell out of you!

Boycott Citgo Oil and Gasoline – Owned by Venezuelan Government… O’s Friend Chavez

Did you know that Citgo is owned by the Venezuelan government…?? That’s Hugo Chávez… Marxist dictator who openly hates America and is known for his civil rights violations.

Citgo Petroleum Corporation or Citgo, a subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela S.A., the Venezuelan state-owned petroleum company, is a United States-incorporated firm refiner and marketer of gasoline, lubricants, petrochemicals and other petroleum products. PDVSA is controlled by the Venezuelan government. The Citgo gasoline brand was inaugurated in 1965 by the Cities Service Company, a United States based energy company that first rose to prominence in the early 1900s. Cities Service Company was acquired by Occidental Petroleum Corporation in 1982. That same year, Cities Service Company transferred all of the assets of its Refining, Marketing and Transportation division (which comprised its refining and retail petroleum business) into the newly formed Citgo Petroleum Corporation subsidiary, to ease the divestiture of the division. In 1983, Citgo and the Citgo brand was sold by Occidental to Southland Corporation, owners of the 7-Eleven chain of convenience stores; 50% was sold to Petróleos de Venezuela in 1986, and the remainder in 1990. As of 2004, it is headquartered in Houston, Texas, with over 4,000 employees and annual revenue in excess of $32 billion. Citgo has supplied 14,000 retailers, but in July 2006 announced plans to cease serving 14% of their independent retailers in the United States. Before relocating its headquarters to Houston, Citgo was headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. (Cities Service Company continued on under various Occidental names as a part of OXY's domestic exploration and production business, but all Cities Service trademarks are now owned by Citgo.)

A number of 7-Eleven stores in the U.S. are licensed to sell motor fuel and lubricants under the Citgo brand.

Has Citgo become a political tool for Hugo Chávez?

By David J. Lynch, USA TODAY

HOUSTON — From the glass-walled building and manicured lawn to the security guard who greets visitors in a cheerful Texas drawl, everything at Citgo Petroleum seems perfectly ordinary.

Motorists pump gas at a Citgo gas station in October. Chavez could destroy the U.S. economy in 90 days, an energy banker said.

By Tim Boyle, Getty Images

But in fact there's nothing ordinary about Citgo. One of the USA's largest refiners, Citgo is a subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA). As such, it ultimately belongs to Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, an avowedly anti-American leader who counts Fidel Castro among his closest friends and mocks President Bush as a "genocidal murderer."

The question of Chávez's influence over Citgo was highlighted by the company's recent provision of 25 million gallons of subsidized home-heating oil to poor people in the northeast USA. More than 100,000 households in four states should eventually benefit from the low-cost heating aid.

But some worry that Venezuela's ownership of more than 6% of U.S. refinery capacity gives Chávez, a former paratrooper given to wearing red berets and military fatigues, the power to cripple as well as comfort.

As Hurricanes Katrina and Rita demonstrated, any disruption to the nation's refining industry instantly increases gas prices. What if Chávez, who periodically threatens to curtail oil shipments to the USA, closed Citgo's refineries? (Read Full Article)

Chavez Furiously Backtracking As Venezuela Petro-Economy Deteriorates

(Translation: Chavez Begs for Foreign $$ After Running Economy Into Ground)

In anticipation of Thursday's Carabobo oil field auction, outspoken Marxist president Hugo Chavez quietly pleaded for foreign investment.

""Investment and experience from foreign oil firms is necessary in Venezuela. We need it," Chavez said, according to Dow Jones.

The statement is a serious turnaround for a government that has nationalized dozens of foreign oil companies in recent years. But they 'need' foreign investment because mismanagement is turning the country into just another failed petro-state.

This is also the second instance of Chavez backtracking today.

Chavez reversed a six-year ban on the sale of U.S. dollars by Venezuela's central bank, in an effort to control the vast amount of money that was leaving the country through unregulated exchange, according to Bloomberg.

He had previously threatened to "burn the hands" of speculators who speculated against the bolivar.

Hopefully the president understands that if the U.S .government sends (more) aid to his Marxist friend, it could mean curtains for him!!

And Americans need to stop purchasing Citgo products and invest in U.S. stocks and US friendly (country) stocks.

If you read up on The New World Order, something that people have talked about and feared for years there are always some common threads, no matter which version you read. Here are two, and the when you look at the present day happenings it is getting harder and harder to excuse it as the ravings of nut jobs:

I. The Melt Down Of Financial Institutions:

A) The dismantling of American Savings & Loan Banks in the 1990s caused by the Fed’s high-interest loans to the US government & forced low interest loans of the S&Ls.

B) The dismantling of independent banks such as the recent takeover of Bear Stearns byJP Morgan and the Jewish-owned Federal Reserve Bank. (Bear Stearns was forced by the Fed to loan money to unqualified borrowers or be sued causing its collapse.)

C) The dismantling of national banks by the Jewish International Finance Cartel run by the Rothschilds of London & France.

II. The Melt-Down Of National Borders:

A) The invasion of illegals into the US.
B) The invasion of Muslims throughout Christian Europe.
C) The invasion of alien cultures into the Christian West.

On Friday it was announced that: Obama Cuts Border Patrol Agents – as of Oct 1st by Nearly 400 – Video (1300 miles of U.S. Border are not effectively under control. There are drug wars in Mexico and the threat of more terrorist attacks is high… so ask yourself why? Perhaps to create an emergency to allow… You fill in the blanks. (But it appears that due to pressure and outrage over the weekend, the reduction has been scrapped, as least for now… most articles referring to the border patrol reduction have also been pulled… but it proves that “the people” can make a difference!)

If you haven’t heard about most of this news (above) or just barely a mention… you might consider changing your news source.

P.S.

GOP's next target: John Murtha's airport

Conservatives feel as if they’re on a roll these days, with White House adviser Van Jones chased out of town and ACORN funding deleted in an appropriations bill.

So their next stop? Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha’s airport.

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) has asked for a vote to remove federal funding from the John Murtha Airport in Johnstown, Pa., which has received upward of $150 million in subsidies even though it has only three flights a day — all to Washington.

The House killed a similar amendment in May, but that was before the real surge in public dismay over federal spending and before the town hall chaos of the August recess. So the Senate vote could be different — and it may be harder to say no to such an amendment while the Senate is just starting to digest the $800 billion health care bill.

“This is a test to see how serious we are about stopping wasteful spending,” DeMint said in a statement. “If we can’t stop this ridiculous abuse of taxpayer funds for a deserted airport, we can’t stop anything.”

On Friday, Senator DeMint’s amendment was squelched again…

Some Solutions:

The U.S. is expected to spend about $36.7 billion on its foreign aid budget next year, but large chunks of that money will be going to countries whose leaders openly vilify the U.S. -- and to others that are already rolling in dough.

Much of the foreign aid budget is spent on military, disaster and humanitarian assistance. But some of the spending for 2010 will be heading to countries where dictators rule:

• $98 million to persuade Kim Jong-il of North Korea to give up nuclear weapons
• $20 million for political prisoners and political rights in Castro's Cuba
• $6 million to promote civil society in Hugo Chavez's Venezuela
• $500,000 for border security in Muammar al-Qaddafi's Libya
• $26 million to help train police in Evo Morales' Bolivia
• $56 million to support the rule of law and human rights in Vladimir Putin's Russia, arguably one of the world's richest nations

The question is, do any of the programs work? Many Critics say some recipients of U.S. aid are capable of covering the costs themselves.

In Colombia, where the U.S. spent $38 million to improve human rights in 2008, State Department auditors concluded five of six program areas failed.

The U.S. provided $18 million to improve governance in Honduras, but auditors found nearly all of the 28,000 trained by the U.S. will be replaced after elections in November.

Elsewhere, the Office of Middle East Programs oversees almost $4 billion in U.S. aid to countries like Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority. Auditors found it nearly impossible to evaluate program success because the office operates without a management plan and didn't have any reliable data to actually measure anything.

Obama Links Civil Rights To Health Care: "We Cannot Wait Any Longer" - Is Anyone Surprised?

President Barack Obama used a dinner-time address to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Saturday night to make an impassioned plea for health care reform, placing it in the tradition of the civil rights struggle. Obama, who last year addressed the group as one of its members, was hailed as "our great president" by caucus chair Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.). The crowd was jubilant as Obama came to the stage with first lady Michelle Obama, who Rep. Kendrick Meek introduced, saying she had "brought a new flavor to this country."
