7. That will be a sad day for the people of Venezuela. My friends there laugh at these Western articles

bashing 'Socialism'. Thank god for Wikileaks, which revealed, to the embarrassment of the West, the huge effort they make to get negative articles published in their Corporate media here.

]The produce section looked well stocked with plenty of fruits and vegetables. But consumers shopping at Guaicaipuro complained that prices, even for basic products, had skyrocketed.


As if that isn't happening all over the world. Coffee, eg, here has almost doubled in price this year.

If we weren't after the control of Venezuela's oil, we would be reading articles about all the good things going on there. Or if they had no oil, we would not be reading about them at all.

It was instructive to read the confirmation in the wikileaks cables of what we have long suspected, the propaganda against Venezuela in the Western media is not accidental, and it costs money. So, why would they spend millions to undermine a country that is none of our business?

Hugo should just hand over his country's resources to the control of Western Oil Cartels or they will simply do what the did in Iraq. Mission IS accomplished in Iraq. Over 80% of their oil is now controlled by Global Oil Corps.

And if would just be a good little puppet, we would be reading great things about Venezuela.
