Chavez Wants to be Dictator for Life

In Venezuela, Hugo Chavez is very methodically consolidating power to set himself up as dictator for life.

On Fox News this morning one of my favorite reporters, Steve Harrigan, reports from Caracas, Venezuela, that in Maracaibo, the Mayor has gone into hiding and has not been seen for the past two weeks. He is charges with corruption and Chavez has bowed to through him in jail before he has a trial, so he is hiding out. He sneaks into his office once in a while and signs decrees. He leaves behind a wife and 10 kids. He has many supporters are depicted in this photograph.

In Caracas, the Mayor is not allowed to go into his own office. For the past three months an angry mob supported by Chavez' government has kept him out.

What does all these means?

It means that Chavez is eliminating the opposition just like Fidel Castro did throughout the fifty years his regime has been in power.

Venezuelans are loosing the battle against communism, much like the Cubans have and as a survivor of this brutal ideology my heart aches for their country. May God be with them, because the worse is yet to come......

Chavez Opposition March in Caracas to say NO to the Referendum!

As reported by Venezuela News and Views, "the NO group of the coming referendum is marching". The blogger Daniel reports that the opposition is having no trouble filling the streets. The photograph is one of two received by Daniel from attending citizens.

The newspaper El Universal reported that Venezuela's Minister of the Interior and Justice (MIJ), granted the permit, for the march convoked by the opposition the day before the demonstration. They will march, from Petare all the way to the vicinity of La Iglesia de Santa Rosa on Avenida Libertador. God be with them!!!!
