Hugo Chavez is Dead

[QUOTE="Aljosa23"]

[QUOTE="sonicare"] It may be true. Take a look at Castro. Dude has gray hair and wrinkles. He didnt have those 50 years ago when he was in favor with the US. I cant prove it, but I think they have some ray gun that can make a person age 50 years in 50 years.coolbeans90

Or maybe he just naturally got cancer. It tends to occur in humans.

How exactly would that work and how effective would it be? There are far easier ways to 'poison' people. Why choose a method that would take years and possibly not even GIVE him cancer? The idea seems absurd to me. HoolaHoopMan

Viva Fidel! Mi hermano!

That's way to iffy to make any kind of logical sense.

Socialism needs a new strong leader. RIP comrade Chavez he really helped the poor of his nation.

This will be interesting, as Venezuela had been training Hezbollah for attacks on the US. A

Speculate all you want, I'm sticking with absurd here. I think the easier answer here is "A 58 year old got cancer from natural causes". That idea, you know, makes sense. HoolaHoopMan

I bet your dislike of him basically amounts to "because Bush did."

Aljosa23

Not really. He was a velvet dictator and a human rights violator, not to mention a corrupt piece of sh*t.

You can try and call him a "socialist" but I have more respect for -Sun_tzu-'s political ideals(which is admittedly very little to begin with) than I ever will for Chavez.

And Fidel is still kickin'

lol

But seriously, i wont miss him.

OMG - I forgot he was still alive. I thought he died already.

Curious as to how this will affect gas prices...

Oil companies always look for headlines to raise their prices, especially out of oil-producing countries.

Explain the logic of this, pls. Specifically, why would a politician whose entire political base is built upon handouts to the poor...handouts which are funded by oil revenue...suddenly decide to destroy his main source of funding for everything he does? In fact, his track record was to do the exact opposite by nationalizing the industry thereby increasing his control over oil related revenue.

The US gov't knows this. Chavez knew this too. His statements had nothing to do with economics and were not even directed at the US. His statements and threats are/were designed for domestic political reasons so he could show his base that he would stand up to the US. No one in the industry took his threats seriously and no one cared anyway because everyone knows that it would have no meaningful impact.

Hence the idea that these statements lead to some US conspiracy is absurd.
