If the guy gets dead,,,how can his threats carry weight. Everyone accuses The US. of A. of everything and anything they can think of. If The U.S wanted him dead.. he would already be in that condition.
Actually Becker, the CIA did try and pull off a coup in Venezuela to oust Chavez, but Chavez stood up under the pressure.
A friend gave me some literature about the state of oil for the US.
Regarding fear factors: "And in Venezuela, the largest oil producer outside of the Middle East, leftist president Hugo Chavez has rattled markets with his anti-Western sentiments."
We import 13% of our supply from Venezuela and Chavez is threatening to reduce the amount and sell the rest to China. How about them apples?
My problem with how it stands now is that the president, congress, judicial branch are all supposed to be servants of the people. Servants of the people, not servants of big corporations that have ties into other nations.
America is no longer the home of the free and the brave, but the wealthy and the controlling. And anyone who disagrees with that elitist stance is told to "find another country." Well, the USA of old and envisioned by the framers no longer exists.
