POPSShould Brazil Fear Venezuela? A pretty funny (IMHO) video clip that ran on Globo television a while back. It is causing quite a stir here--perhaps it will get people to think. A subtitled version can be seen at http://www.overstream.net/view.php?oid=n3nmajrym7a6

POPSBrazil, Venezuela of the Future? Interesting article by Cristovam Buarque-- Brazilian senator and former presidential candidate. Don't agree with all of it, but he makes some very good points.

POPSBrazil's Nuclear Sub This is a fascinating development. I would disagree with the statement that Brazil has no enemies in South America. Venezuela's Hugo Chavez is a very real threat, and I believe the Brazilian military knows that. An oil-rich Brazil could be a hindrance to Chavez' planned domination of the region.

POPSThe Chavez Dance Continues If he succeeds at this, the next step will be to remove the mere formality of elections. Who needs em, if everybody knows the result already?

POPSHugo's Gag Order Isn't this the same Hugo Chavez that went to the US and publicly criticized George Bush--even calling him the devil? Are there no limits to his hypocrisy? I guess if I ever want to go to Venezuela, I should hope he or his goons NEVER read my blog.

POPSFreedom of Speech, Chavez Style Can you imagine if Bush tried to shut down every major media outlet that opposed him? Of course, that would mean shutting down basically every major media outlet.

POPSDaniel Ortega and Iran What surprised me was that Ortega actually made it back into power. What does NOT surprise me is the alliances he is making. That should have been a given.

POPSVenezuelans Voting with their Feet "Chavez doesn't accept political dissidence. Why do they need an enabling law if they have an absolute majority in the National Assembly?" Why indeed? Must be so they can "deepen democracy".

POPSChavez' Next Power Grab In a couple years, when the consequences are being felt around the world, people will wonder how we let Hugo Chavez come to power. It is because we are turning a blind eye to and rationalizing things like this.

POPSThe Enabling Bill Chavez says his role model is Simon Bolivar. I rather think it is someone else. http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/10E7CD2C-07FE-4718-97AA-7A85D442E7A8/ http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/0DCD6E16-9C52-4E06-8CF8-1472D2F38FD5/

POPSChavez' Example It even has a similar name...Chavez calls it the Enabling Law, Hitler called it the Enabling Bill. It's purpose was the identical--total control of the government.

POPSChavez Hypocrisy What about his own meddling in the affairs of just about every other latin american country, and even in US affairs?

POPSJimmy Carter's Motives I used to think of Jimmy Carter as a sincere yet misguided individual. After reading this article, I have to strike the "sincere" part. If half of this is true, what Jimmy Carter is up to amounts to treason.

POPSA Fair Price Make no mistake about it. A "fair price" is NOT all they want. Just like Poland was not all Hitler wanted.

POPSNewt Gingrich's Plan Newt is the MAN! Newt for president! Seriously, the only thing I would change is that I would add Venezuela to the last one.

POPSGo 7-11 If I lived in the US, I would definitely be buying 7-11 from now on. Way to show some...uh...cajones!

POPSIndefinite Terms for Chavez? You know it was only a matter of time before he brought this little matter up: "If the people democratically decide, we will end democracy." What a crock!

POPSHezbollah and Venezuela Can this be true? I checked out the website linked on the page, and it looks legit...but it still sounds fishy. Very scary if it is true.
