Chavez Implicated in Mexican Pipeline Bombings

Those terrorists who have been blowing up Gas pipelines in Mexico are being funded by none other than President-for-Life Hugo Chavez. And they are sending in automatic weapons, too...

Hey, but at least we are protecting our borders, right?

Special thanks to Democrat "Icon" Jimmy Carter for making this possible.

Heavy Islamist Infusion Reported in Bolivia

Let's just face the facts: Chavez and Morales have become members of the Axis of Evil, and sooner or later we're going to have to take them out--if their people don't do it first.

JFK Terror Plot Tied to Venezuela and Iran; Brazil calls Chavez "Cheap Hitler"

Tammy Bruce points to a clear connection between those who wanted to commit mass murder at JFK and Venezuela and Iran.

Meanwhile the Venezuelan people continue to show their displeasure for the thug Chavez. And that displeasure is spreading.

The Venezuelan Riots in Pictures

Things are very ugly still throughout Venezuela. One important clarification though: Chavez says he didn't "shut down" the TV station; he merely "removed their license." Oh well, then...

Could this be the beginning of a coup? One can only hope... it would be quite a spectacle to see the smiling fat man who was so smug on that UN podium fleeing to Cuba for his life.

UPDATED--CHAVEZ SHOOTING STUDENTS*** Chavez moves to close ANOTHER opposition TV station

UPDATE (BUMPED): That "man of the people"--Hugo Chavez--is now shooting students who disagree with him. If the world needed a clearer picture of what this cretin is made of, it has it now with the linked video.

*********** Original Post ************
A mere three days after it shut down the highly popular RCTV, the Hugo Chavez "Brownshirts" are now targeting another TV station for "ideological cleansing". Meanwhile Chavez is reportedly sending more police, troops, and Chavez Brigades to rough up those participating in large scale demonstrations.

Does this sound like a Democracy to you? (It did to Jimmy Carter.)

UPDATE: If you haven't noticed, the Associated Press is an intellectually and morally bankrupt institution. It is beyond belief how they are spinning this clear-cut power play by the Marxist thug Chavez. If you want to know why local newspapers--including the once-great Dallas Morning News--are failing miserably, it is because they are all clear-cutting their own bureaus (e.g. the Morning News no longer has a robust--and conservative-leaning Washington bureau; now it relies almost solely on AP Wire Stories, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. So folks who once could count on their hometown papers to show some semblence of Common Sense are now being subjected to non-stop leftist propaganda that does not agree with their sensibilities). This abomination by the AP is but another example of why newspapers will one day be an afterthought for a majority of Americans.

Repression in Venezuela

Glenn Reynolds links to a story about the last day that Venezuela station RCTV was allowed to broadcast. As you have probably heard the Marxist thug Hugo Chavez has pulled the plug on a private televesion network he deemed to be "too critical". As you can see on the video, the employees of the station going off the air did not go quietly.

The people of Venezuela aren't happy about it either. This weekend riot police were clamping down on protests against the repressive Chavez government. Turkish News reports:
Using water cannon, police dispersed thousands of stone-throwing protesters outside Venezuela's telecom authority, which ordered the station off the air.
There is video of the rioting here.

Hezbollah Base in South America

Great. And a big shout out to Jimmy Carter for that assist with Hugo Chavez--who gave the assist to Ahmadinejad--who now has put Hezbollah in the Americas.

Well done, Jimmah... what's your next magic trick?

Chavez Pulls the Plug on Independent TV in Venezuela; and Coming Soon to YOUR Town

Surprise! Chavez is silencing any hint of dissent... and the Democrats want to do the same thing to us. If Kucinich has his way, they will.

Bush's Important Latin America Trip

I think Ralph Peters has it exactly right: the President's trip to Latin America cannot be over-emphasized in its importance. It has been region which has not received the attention it should since 9/11, especially in light of Hugo Chavez' presistent anti-American cheerleading and agressive action.

Peters is also on the money as to what the drive-by media's take will be (go figure...). But regardless of what you hear in the coming days, this is a critical trip for the President and for the security of the Americas.
