Hugo Chavez is Assange's only hope.

[John Kerry VonErich]

I hate to admit it. But it is looking more like it.

[leftstreet]

1. YES YES YES Chavez and Assange in the same post

:bounce: :popcorn:

[Maat]

2. HeeHeeHee.

:rofl:

[John Kerry VonErich]

4. Let me guess, you unrec'ed it

:rofl:

[leftstreet]

7. No way! Proudly Rec'd

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

10. LOL!

:)

[Catherina]

12. Lol. Made me laugh despite tonight's events. Rec'd x 2, OP and post. n/t

[John Kerry VonErich]

31. Glad it helped make you feel better.

sorry if this reponse was late.

[Alamuti Lotus]

19. Yes, perfectly bait the reactionary bulls with their two favourite red flags!

:rofl:

[John Kerry VonErich]

34. I used the 2 "red flags" for analysis and predictive purposes only only

thats all :)

[Renew Deal]

33. lol

:rofl:

3. I'm sure Hugo has nothing to hide

[John Kerry VonErich]

5. I'm thinking Hugo will give him refuge.

[davidinalameda]

30. I think he will too

Hugo enjoys tweaking our collective noses and this is a great way to do that

[madinmaryland]

6. Do you have anything to back up your claim?? Or is this just pure speculation...

:wtf:

[John Kerry VonErich]

8. Just spec.

No offense

[Greyhound]

9. K&R for an interesting notion. n/t

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

11. Help me Obi Wan Assange, you're our only hope! I'm hoping those two birds go down with one stone.

[hlthe2b]

13. More impetus for yet another CIA-driven Coup d'état....

Not sure even Hugo would be up for that... Yet Venezuela seems to be one of the few countries prepared to stand up to the US, so who knows. :shrug:

[John Kerry VonErich]

14. Venezuela is the best bet

no US millitary running around or watching out for. (That's why I think Cuba is out of the question) Any attempt to capture Assange, if he gets political asylum, Hugo might take it as an act of war.

[JVS]

15. What about North Korea?

[John Kerry VonErich]

17. I think he's got dirt on them too.

[LooseWilly]

16. Colombia, next door, if he could get an in with the narcotraficantes... might be an escape route...

An added plus for the plan (Colombian government probably gets too much DEA drug eradication money to be trusted... but the narcotraficantes would probably welcome him as a hero... for fucking with the US government so boldly.)

[John Kerry VonErich]

18. I kindly disagree

a Chavez/Assange alliance would serve a greater purpose than having Assange go to Columbia.

[LooseWilly]

23. I agree... I was adding the possible escape route as a perk... a value added for your proposal.

Assange staying long term in Colombia would be a victory for the powers of censorship and informational control. Using Colombia as an escape route in the event of another CIA backed coup in Venezuela... and broadcasting that plan to complicate the necessary planning for a CIA operation... adds an extra layer of protection for Assange in Venezuela (and for Chavez, come to think of it...)

[John Kerry VonErich]

26. Chille might also be a better escape route too

Especially with the new leaders in power

[earth mom]

20. Great idea, but I doubt Chavez will trust or help Assange. nt

[John Kerry VonErich]

21. He actually praised him

google Chavez on Assange

[Azathoth]

22. Hugo has mood swings

The instant Assange releases a Venezuelan document, Chavez will suddenly decide that he's really the devil and part of a vast capitalist conspiracy to overthrow the government.

[John Kerry VonErich]

27. I take DaveInAlameda's possition

I highly doubt Hugo has anything to hide. Hell, he would probably give secured docs on his opposition to Assange.

[xor]

28. I'm certain all governments have something to hide

[John Kerry VonErich]

29. I never liked Chavez's methods like the TV stations controversy

But so far he has been a stand up and up front leader. Yes, I do mean the words: so far, since you might have a good point.

32. All that's missing is a suggestion that one or the other take up circumcision as a hobby afterwards.
