Intro - Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela :
Hugo Chavez is the leader of Venezuela, and he is "a man for the average poor people" there. Elites get no quarter with this guy, which makes him the hero of many around the world.
Chavez stands up to Bush and American imperialsim and to the criminal acts of their Committe for Foreign Relations. He is nationalising their oil - for all the people's benefit - and made land reforms to spread ownership to many rather than a few Elites.
He has been the target of CIA assassination attempts, and he has the expertise of highly -trained Chinese Nationals that have been in Venezuela to protect Chavez from the American assassination attempts.
There is a USA policy of sorts that says " when elections cannot be thrown to get the results America wants, then kill some people." So far it has failed in Venezuela.
------------------------------
The news today is that an election was held Dec 3rd/05, in which he won 100% due to opposition tactics to discredit the election.
The opposition knew the results were going to be heavily in favour of Chavez and his supporters, so they pulled tactic from the pages of NeoCon election fudgery:
- First, they pull out of the race they will lose, and then they say "it is not legitimate because it is a body in which the whole Venezuelan population is not represented".
Well, its not Chavez' fault... just a dumb ploy.
Other NeoCon USA backed attempts to disrupt the inevitable - an obvious election victory - included blowing up oil pilelines and raising fears about the voting machines that can identify voters.

And here is a "USA sided quote", to be fair - for NascarJ - This is what the opposition to Chavez is saying.

K - Funny, its what most of the world is saying about Bush, so that complicates it a bit, which is just another NeoCon tactic.“When you have this degree of concentration of power and you have a lot of money, it’s not surprising to find enormous levels of corruption,” said Michael Shif-ter, senior analyst at Inter-American Dialogue, a think-tank in Washington.
“This is a model built on personal and autocratic rule. The political dynamic will be centred within Chávez’s co-alition, but it’s going to be far from monolithic.”
