Rumors have circulated for the past few weeks that Chavez had succumbed to the cancer which had ravaged him. Now media such as MSNBC shows "thousands" of mourners crying in the streets at the loss of the tyrant who ruled for 14 years while manipulating the media and ravaging businesses. Those same people are likely the ones who were being supporte by the government. The tills however were starting to dry up and Chaves's popularity was soon to be on the downside spiral. he is credited with creating a utopia with free healthcre, yet he fled to Cuba for therapy. Too bad he did not have access to Obamacare, he would not have suffered for so long and would probably have died quicker.
Now we will see the Hollywood elite like Danny Glover and Sean "I never met a liberal I did not like" Penn who will tell us what a wonderful human being Chavez was ad how we have lost a great man. Ironically, there are many who would say the same of Mussolini and Hitler. To his grave Chavez and his followers have insisted that America is the one who "gave him the cancer". So on top of his arrogance, he was also paranoid. He mantained a close alliance with Iran and mutliple "ghost flights" have been documented likely carrying weapons to Venezuala from the little Iranian despot.
Now, Venezuaela stands on the precipice to make a decision on their future. These are interesting times in which we live.
