To me, he’s just a self-absorbed dictator

Writing from Brazil, Luís, blogger of Swimming Against the Red Tide points out that there are two ways that Latin Americans look at Hugo Chavez – as a “Bolivarian” or a Clown. I think that there is more there. Just this morning the BBC did more of the usual repating of his paranoiac ravings without question, but that’s to be expected in the narrowminded atmoshere of the European media. No – that man is quite a bit more.

His lunacy, and the popularity thereof has led France to peddle seaborne missile systems to him, Zappo’s Spain to sell him chemical weapons, and of late he’s been gearing up to build a nuclear weapons program in coorperation with the NORKS. His only enemies are the majority of his own people and the one’s he’s trying to make. Linking Vcrisis, Assumpção elaborates:

« Boyd also showed the atomic link between Venezuela and North Korea.

To fight this, Venezuela government is accusing anyone that exposes its lies as traitors back-funded by American government.
Boyd mocks about theses false accusations creating "The AngloVenezuelan Connection" - a fictitious group of Chávez opposers, fund backed by tenths of thousand of "imperialist" money.»
Not only is Hugo the budding pop-stain making alliances with failed social concepts that have been laid waste on the trashheap of history, he’s been trying to make bogeyman out of the US, it has been ignoring Chavez’ adolescent attention-seeking behaviour. In spite of sharing some ideological similarities, those affiliations are ones of convenience of services in kind. They are attempts to form a network of dependancy that place him in the fulcrum of societies that would otherwise ignore him to improve their well being. So what it lacks in depth of bonds it has in blood.
