Hello,

I share with you my thoughts to Hugo Chavez in this day.
It is this 5th of march the first anniversary of its death.
His speeches I saw seem to me sincere. When he said something like "Chavez is the people", in his heart.

His last speech about his last operation (subtitled in English) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzQCQm77GK4
Particularly at 12'30 to illustrate what I wrote just before
or subtitled in french : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xw1tbx_le-dernier-discours-d-hugo-chavez_news

May I dare draw an analogy between what he says and what Julius Caesar could have been?
 
I thought Chavez' last speech was quite moving. The more I learn about him, the more I respect him and the more I miss him.
Clearly, he made sure that the people of Venezuela and his government were prepared. The fact that he himself talked so openly about his disease and the upcoming operation, about the pain he had and the medications he took shows great strength of character, OSIT. He was still thinking of Venezuela and its people, putting his illness and death into perspective, while keeping the faith.

Thank you for sharing, Heaalih.

BTW, there were some documentaries about Chavez on SOTT.

Indeed, from what I've seen Chavez was a real leader with a huge amount of courage and charisma. It seems like he did his best to stand up to the evil empire and their media outlets in Venezuela, and even survived his own coup to come back stronger! His example and his results yet again go to show that the majority of people are not so evil or stupid, but that everyone needs leaders. It's just a sad thing that such a leader on the side of the people is born maybe one in a billion, whereas the pathological leaders spring up like grass worldwide.

That's pretty much my view too. We need more leaders like Chavez and Putin. Even a large part of the authoritarian followers can be made to function well with leaders of integrity, courage, and intelligence.
 
I just wonder what the world would be like if Gadaffi & Chavez were alive. It sure would be interesting. :cool:

Indeed.

I woke up with Nestor Kirchner on my mind, ex president of Argentina and who died of a heart attack in 2010. Although he underwent several heart operations I wonder whether he was murdered. He had also had cancer, like more South-American leaders. He wanted to run for president in 2011.
During his visit Oliver Stone commended him for having the courage to stand up to the IMF.

Once in office, Kirchner consolidated his power by taking actions that were popular with the general public. He forced top military officials to retire, annulled legislation prohibiting the extradition of military officers accused of human rights abuses (dating to the 1976–83 military dictatorship), and attacked unpopular institutions such as the Supreme Court and the privately run utility companies. In September 2003 he helped negotiate a debt-restructuring deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after the country defaulted on a $2.9 billion loan.

Kirchner’s economic policies—including his decision to devalue the Argentine peso—brought economic growth, and in legislative elections in October 2005 his faction of the Peronist party gained strength in both houses of the legislature. In one closely watched Senate race in Buenos Aires province, Kirchner’s wife, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, easily defeated the wife of former president Duhalde (with whom Kirchner was having a leadership struggle), confirming Kirchner’s emergence as the undisputed leader of the Peronists. In December 2005 Kirchner ordered the treasury to repay Argentina’s nearly $10 billion debt to the IMF, a small but significant symbolic gesture showing that he was moving Argentina away from reliance on the IMF and attempting to forge alliances with other populist leaders in Latin America.

Kirchner was a critic of IMF structural adjustment programs. His criticisms were supported in part by former World Bank economist Joseph Stiglitz, who opposes the IMF's measures as recessionary and urged Argentina to take an independent path. According to some commentators, Kirchner was seen as part of a spectrum of new South American leaders, including Hugo Chávez in Venezuela, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Brazil and Tabaré Vázquez in Uruguay, who see the Washington consensus as an unsuccessful model for economic development in the region.

Kirchner's increasing alignment with Hugo Chávez became evident when during a visit to Venezuela on July 2006 he attended a military parade alongside Bolivian president Evo Morales. On that occasion Mr. Chávez called for a defensive military pact between the armies of the region with a common doctrine and organization. Kirchner stated in a speech to the Venezuela national assembly that Venezuela represented a true democracy fighting for the dignity of its people.[52]

Castro almost died from a mysterious stomach and intestinal ailment he contracted after attending a parallel People's Summit held concurrent to the July 2006 Cordoba MERCOSUR (Common Market of the South) Summit with Chavez and Nestor Kirchner. A U.S. Embassy Buenos Aires cable dated July 26, 2006, demonstrated Washington's displeasure with Castro's and Chavez's presence in Cordoba with Kirchner: What was remarkable about the summit was the degree to which Argentina and Brazil, the two key protagonists in MERCOSUR since its founding, played secondary roles at this summit, while Chavez and Castro dominated. Of the three People's Summit participants, Kirchner and Chavez are now dead. Kirchner died from a sudden heart attack and Chavez's aggressive cancer began in his pelvic region.

Funny, I just finished watching this on RT & I wasn't even going to make a post as I was so moved, I didn't know how to express my thoughts on it. I'll just say that it's definitely worth watching, difficult at times, but Chavez's human qualities so strongly coming through helps when you factor in what Venezuela was like before him, & the effects of the red-white-and-blue war-machine has had on people all over; not just since 9/11 but since 2008. I can't really comment on Oliver Stone, other than to say he let the documentary "breathe" by not getting heavily involved with it, he asked questions to those who knew him & let them answer, accompanied by the appropriate footage - things the western empire won't allow most to see on primetime shows "unaided" - but I caught it late (saw about 40 minutes) so I'll need a second viewing.

Just prepare yourselves for the abhorrent CNN/Fox("fix") footage of panelists, "journalists" & co not just distorting the facts, ("no-one will miss him") but openly showing their utter contempt for humanity via their blatant psychological deficits. ("I'm glad he's dead, I hope he was choking")





ADDED: if anyone is interested, Oliver Stone's documentary accompanying this one is on YouTube. I haven't searched the forum or SOTT, but I think it's still worthwhile to have it here as another reference point. Type in "South of the Border" along with "Hugo Chavez biography" or/and "Oliver Stone documentary" for the video.
