It's UHOH time in Venezuela
Edited on Mon Aug-16-04 12:32 AM by buycitgo
they're extending the voting until the last voter has a chance

now, check THIS:

"``There is a fear factor that something may go wrong after the referendum,'' Gal Luft, executive director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, a Washington-based research company specializing in energy security, said in an interview. ``If Chavez is removed that could create violence. This guy will not leave quietly. There could be sabotage. There could be agitations.'' "

from this late breaker
http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000086&sid=aOdggFyq1YpI&refer=news_index

who is the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, you might ask?

I/m checking now. want to bet it's similar to the NED, has ties to our government?

nahhhh

EDIT: I just finished the article!!!! you MUST read it to believe it! it just gets WORSE

seriously; it's almost totally told from a parasite's POV

amazing

truly mindboggling

more like the CIA-loving, corporate oil stooges won't go quietly.

Bring back Carmona! Gawd, he was hilarious. I loved how CNN/etc merely referred to him as a "businessman."

and this thinktank is neocon, of course. PNACers like Woolsey and Cohen are involved.

3. from their site:
What makes IAGS unique?
- While IAGS is addressing an issue that has thus far been the domain of environmentalist organizations, our focus is not the environment. IAGS is exclusively focused on global security, and energy is a vital element of the security picture.
- Instead of focusing on pie-in-the-sky technologies, IAGS endorses technologies that have already been certified by the Department of Energy and can be commercialized rapidly.
- Rather than promoting stopgap solutions, IAGS focuses on ways to harness domestic resources and next generation technologies to completely displace imported oil.
- IAGS is not beholden to any industry or political group.

think they're in favor of ANWR drilling, or in your dining room, for that matter

need to know ANY more about them?

how much do you HATE the media?

2. Think of the source, bloomberg.com
Edited on Mon Aug-16-04 12:31 AM by Melodybe
yup, its the very same republican billionaire that also happens to be mayor of NYC.

This article is basically telling the other repubs that when they steal the election there will be a bloody civil war.

They are doing everything they can to oust Chavez, but the people will not give up so easily.

My prayers are with all Venezuelans tonight, I pray for no bloodshed on either side.
