Chavez is not going to be around for long . He stays in power because the poor people that do not want to work hard follow him . He in turn uses the oil that the country has to pay off the army and the pesents . This will soon come to an end his socialist type of government will soon come crasing down like a house of cards . The easy oil that he has been selling is coming to an end the remainder is the tough kind to get out of the ground . he has pusshed the experts out of the country with the take over of the western oil company’s . the price of oil is going down and the cost of food is going up he imports most of the food because the farmers do not know how to make the soil produce enough for the country . he took over the supermarkets and now has shortages of basics and that includes checken . The gas he needs for the cars in the country is refined in the dutch refinery on the island 90 miles away .that refinery can not use the new type of oil he willtry to get out of the ground . once the free money is gone then the pesents will turn on him and his goons and the west will return to bring the country back to where it should be . most of the real business folks know how to run the place he does not any more the castro his mentor .

it is amazing how chavez supporters keep saying that he is not a dictator beacuase he was ” democraticly elected”. Ill tell those who dont know it, how it is. i am venezuelan, i live in venezuela, and that person has destroyed everything tha was great about our country. he simply has truned it into a war zone..literaly.. there are more people murdered in venezuela every weekend than in iraq. it has comletely divided the country, he has made the poor hate the hard working middle class and of course the rich..for him ti doesn’t matter how you got your things, if you have certain material things then you are evil. Another thing…he is so democratic that he has cornered everyone who disagree with him, he has also militarized the whole country by putting many ex military friends in key goverment places. There is absolutely no independace of powers in venezuela, everything is run by him, if one day he decides to take over a hotel or a corporation it is done, congress makes up a new law and boom!! they make it legal. So dont let yourselves be fooled by oliver stone and his now so convient lies, as he has done over and over and over in all of his movies (and i was a fan of his, in fact i own many of his movies, until i discoverd how deliverately distords the truth). The thing is, Chavez and many of his followers because i wont deny he has many followers, want the world to believe that his revolution is so great, tha everthing is perfect and happy that us venezuelans have free universal health care ( which works like crap, and we had it way before he came into power, as we have also have free college education for over 40 years now) that everybody is happy, tha nobody wants to leave the country. well tha is a lie, everybody is leaving at least the peaole who can, the greates minds are leaving the country beacause if you dont think like them you are doomed. the whole country is falling apart mean while he is giving presents to other countries and living the rockstar life because thats what he wants to be a rockstar or a moviestar nothing more, and the world stands looking simply because he “won” the elections, well maybe he did or he didnt all i know is tha they control everything even the electoral power so, there you have it. Chavez is a dictator for the 21st century, he rigs or wins elections (i wont denay he won for many years beacause he was inmensly popular) , therefore he is considerd a democrat, and that gives him license to do whatever he wants. as if i recall well fidel castro never lost an election in cuba, and saddam hussein won with like 99% wich is riculous, and were they democrats…. any way u just get tire of many people thinking they know when they dont, and all fo you americans should be greatful for having what you have with flaws byt far better than what we have here, and for al of you commies, your system doesnt work and it will never work because it only creats envy, and poverty, it equals everybody to the bottom not to the top, as churcill wisely said once… Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. – Winston Churchill

“If I were asked the difference between Socialism and Communism, I could only reply that the Socialist tries to lead us to disaster by foolish words and the Communist drives us there by violent deeds.”

“Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the State.”

freedom for all, and i pray to go everyday to rid us of this evil evil man (hugo chavez)

It would be nice if Chavez denounced FARC and refused to provide assistance to them. Stone is just trying to be Michael Moore, anyone who can read knows that South America is swinging to the left, because the lack of attention and probably inability of bush admin. to do anything production in South America.

Chavez is trying to become a dictator. if his policies were so great he would want to follow the constitution of his own country.

Stone is a moron, or a tool.

Oliver Stone movie: South of the border
Some say:”I will never watch a movie of him again”… I don’t know if I can be so defiant, but I’ll say to Mr. Oliver: shame, shame, shame… The ten years where Chavez has been president, 150thousand people have died as victims of street crime, just last year 843 died within the prisons run by the State, this number jumps out in light of the contrast over the same period: Colombia, 7 died, Brazil, 15 died; 85% of those killed are under 25 years old, our youth is been killed as a consequence of the indolent, selfish and clumsy management government. But for all this, the poor soul Stone does not know; moreover, we out rank Colombia as the country with most kidnapped, the subscriber was threatened lately and by the way, I voted for Chavez in 1998, never did I foresee he will still be president today, ten year after; this should show all of us, how naïve we could all be.
The main three problems in Venezuela are Inflation, Unemployment and Street Crime. Inflation: biggest in America, rank 5th in the world; before the Central Bank closed the office in charge of publication the Macro-Economic figures, the procedure by which those studies where made was confronted early by government officials creating controversy and ambiguous arena where the government and general public develops. Street crime: most victims are humble poor, and it does not discriminate among government officials or private sector, Unemployment: seven thousand Company’s have either gone or close, There is a collapse of public hospital: Mother to be had to hop from public hospital to another before landing on the side walk where she delivered a child, mean while Chaves financed Hospitals abroad: Inaugurated one in Montevideo, gave 20 or more ambulances to Bolivia… take a look on how many accompany Chavez on this trip to Venice… I am not a journalist, I am just immensely worried for the future of Venezuela and I feel how stupid Stone might be to make a movie for the sake of fictional, and therefore idiotic justice, Chavez might be bringing to the Venezuelans and to the world.
It is of public domain how this government wants to diminish free speech, because it portraits how enormously clumsy his administration ends up to be, it took away 29 Radios Statios signal and announce 30 more; it took away Microwave Tv antennas belonging to Globo Vision in order to shorten its capacity to broadcast, It also took away, 2 years ago, repeaters all over the nation and its signal to broadcast belonging to the oldies Tv Station: RCRTV, defiant to the president today whom praised him in those early days when Chavez emerged as one of the leaders from a coup d’Etat in 1994.

Oh! My god!!! Carolina, well it is a free world after all, US is killing people under the idea of keeping terrorist out of the world… Seriously they are doing that. Well they are just doing that. The new socialism is only trying to change as much as posible this poverty that was created by presidents pro the united states, we where manipulated. But gues what? NO MORE. The left is rising back once more.

The Chavistas eat speeches… they don’t care about all our problems… they only live in what the Government says… nothing else… and that was the problem with our past… no one care about anything… they only feel like they are part of something… like a sport team… open your eyes we are not a color… we are not red or white or green or orange or yellow… we are venezuelan… and I am telling you I don’t care who is the president… if he is doing it wrong… I have the right to criticize… and will be still Venezuelan… not a “escualido” or any other word… why our President hear those voices that claim for solutions instead of insulting and using the force to shout their voices… I want a President who instead of talking of war, talks about life… who hear both sides and really try to help his people… who really make justice against corruption… and don’t see to the other side……. now we have this movie… and the ignorance continue with what I thought was an intelligent man…
