Let’s look at Hugo Chavez with a clear lens…Hugo first says he’s no marxist during his campaign…then after his victory…he is a marxist…steels all entrepenuers businesses…then he can’t maintain the infrustructure of those business..until it goes bust..Commerce and Progress is almost zero…people are now unemployed..food has doulbled, no water, utilities..rationed..On the other side Hugo Chavez left hand is the FARC..from same ideology as himself..Farc is Chavez “private” army..for his personal drug operations, while at the same time providing a threat to Colombia next door. Chavez also pays Evo Morales, President of Bolivia to NOT PRODUCE PETROLEUM, THEREFORE Bolivia only has 6 drilling rigs in operation..instead of 80 rigs before he became president of Bolivia. Chavez goals: to bring Venezuela as Bolivia down to their knees…so they can later (soon) begin the COMMUNISTIC OPS …which would be the only way people can feed their families. Self Enrich himself on Drug Cartel Production and Transport..supervised by via the Farc Ops…does Panama’s Noriega come to mind…hmmm!?? Truth has spoken!
