#5 "....this guy is a very nasty piece of work."
And this is why his propaganda effort and activities in this country (US) must be stopped:
Chavez is working two fronts (similar to the followers of the Religion of Pieces).
He has set up shop here in the US through his infamous Bolivarian Circles. The latter with the help of the American left have mounted a disinformation campaigh that the Saudis would be proud of.

Across Latin America the winds of change are blowing - and nowhere is this phenomenon more evident than in Venezuela. After decades of harsh economic
policies and poverty on the rise, people across the hemisphere are electing leaders to take them in a new direction. Social movements are clamoring for social justice and people's rights - including the right to share in the natural wealth of the nation. In Venezuela these movements came to the forefront and elected Hugo Chávez President in 1998. But much turmoil has unfolded since then. "
He has even recruited the YMCA to further his propaganda:

Venezuelan authorities have said they will redistribute more than 110,000 hectares of privately-held property to landless farmers. The land seizure is part of an agrarian reform effort led by President Hugo Chavez. Since his 1998 election, President Chavez has enacted controversial reform laws, including a 2001 land law aimed at narrowing the gap between Venezuela's rich and poor. The law allows the government to redistribute unused land to the poor. Critics say the law violates property rights, and could lead to illegal land grabs. One of four estates to be redistributed includes a 13,000 hectare cattle ranch owned by a British company. The company has said it legally owns the property, and that the land is fully productive.
