Chavez Reported to Be in Critical Condition

Last night we reported on growing speculation related to the condition of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez following his prolonged silence and seclusion in Cuba after surgery two weeks ago. Now Fox News through the El Nuevo Herald has reported Chavez to be in critical condition.
“according to the report in El Nuevo Herald, Chávez finds himself in ‘critical condition, not grave, but critical, in a complicated situation.’”
The socialist leader’s family has “urgently” left to go to him in Cuba within the last 72 hours, and speculation has grown that Chavez may be suffering from prostate cancer. Chavez‘s family had earlier tried to downplay concerns in regards to the President’s health:
“Before the report that Chávez was in critical condition, his brother sought to reassure Venezuela that he was recovering well.
‘In response to all the rumors, I can give faith that the president is recovering in a satisfactory manner,’ Adan Chávez, who is a state governor, told state television Wednesday. ‘The president is a strong man.’”
Chavez, or a someone very well possibly operating his twitter account, tweeted Friday for the first time in 20 days.
“I’m here with you during the hard battles every day! Until victory always! We are winning! And we shall win!” translated from Spanish.

Posted on June 25, 2011 at 7:09pmHistory has shown that the death or downfall of a dictator typically leads to one of two possible outcomes: a revolution by the people that will make things better, or a revolution by the people that will make things worse. It is unusual for the planned successor of a dictator to abdicate power willingly, or to successfully maintain the government. Fear for the people of Venezuela, and, if you are so inclined, pray for guidance for them in making the RIGHT choices for their future.

Would you also not wish ill will on like minded tyrants like Lenin and Stalin if they were alive today? Don’t answer… it’ll just make you look dumber than you already do. “I wish him no ill will…… ” I can almost picture you saying that kind of nonsense with a voice tinged with a tone of enlightenment.

Posted on June 27, 2011 at 9:31amOkay, George W. Bush is at it again. Surely he‘s responsible for Hugo Chavez’s critical medical condition. He seem’s to be blamed for everything that happens. Apparently Cuba‘s socialized medicine isn’t as great as some would have us to believe. First Castro and now his “comrade” Chavez both checked into a Cuban hospital but may not check out.
There may be a change in power in Venezuela like there was in Cuba a couple of years ago if Chavez is unable to perform his presidential duties. Maybe Venezuela will make a move in the right direction from communism to democracy. Without Chavez, anything is possible and Venezuela could find itself on the “friendly list” of American politics once again.
