I spent a lot of time with Major Castillo earlier this month at the Altamira Plaza in Caracas. He's a man of integrity who is deeply concerned about the fate of his country under the Chavez regime and has put his life on the line to expose the abuses of it. He needs to be heard far & wide. (See my first posting on FR from down there here.)

More on why what happens in Venezuela should matter to us here in the USA, well beyond just stable oil supplies, here at these recent FR posts of articles direct from more top Chavez military officers who recently left him...

In Venezuela, Lenin Ramirez Sanchez, electrical engineer from the Central University of Venezuela,
and brother of "Carlos the Jackal", is director of the oil ministry.

Where are our investigative reporters from our main stream press? Where is the Senate Intelligence Group? Where is the CIA? Where is our Intel community?

Yeah - the US got singed a little in April? But as the Big Dog said - "You are either with us or against us".

Democracy or not - time for Special Ops....

Will this ever be on the network news???

[TexKat]

Oh yea, we can handled all of this simultaneously, Iraq, Al Queda, North Korea, goonz from Venzuela, Hamas, Hezbellah and everybody else and their momz.

Good post! Like many others here, I'd like to know what it's going to take for the American media to start taking this seriously. I suspect that our government takes it seriously (or at least, I certainly hope so), but there's a thundering silence about Venezuela in the press and on TV. What are they waiting for? What more do they need?

[Sabertooth]

Watch for the Venezuelan - Al Qaeda connection to show up at the Panama Canal, too.

Time for a 187 on Hugo Chavez, to use a little lingo from gangsta rap.

[anniegetyourgun]

I'm beginning to wonder if our ambassador to Venezuela (Shapiro) isn't part of the problem. I'm also still in the dark about who (in the administration) has been assigned to this matter.

[Libertina]

but has instead been to China, Libya, Iraq, and Havana, Cuba
Lovely set of friends...

"...he [Chavez] stated that...The United States brought the attacks upon itself..."

Isn't that fairly close to what lil billy said in his Georgetown speech?

Greetings shanec, Freepers, et al:

Nice post shanec! The sooner Chavez falls, it seems the better Venezuela, and the rest of the free world will be.

Can the $1mil be traced back to chavez? If it can be proven, Chavez's head should be on a stake planted on the WTC site.

[Henchman]

If proven true, Chavez is a terrorist. It is time for the CIA to begin to kill our enemies before they kill us. In this case, make him speak English first, then dispatch him.
