Chavez: Did US give Latin American leaders cancer?

CARACAS - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez speculated on Wednesday that the United States might have developed a way to give Latin American leaders cancer, after Argentina's Cristina Fernandez joined the list of presidents diagnosed with the disease.

Interesting... I think it is possible and plausible.
What do ATS think ?

I dont see why they would use cancer to target high profile people, I think they would use a heart attack or something much quicker if they really wanted to get rid of someone.

I have no doubt that they probably want to give the public cancer thats why rates are so high probably part of the depopulation plan plus pharmaceutical companies making lots of money.

But leaders and such I think there would be quicker more efficient methods to bump someone of!

But he stressed that he was not making any accusations, just thinking aloud.

He should do his "thinking out loud" via an anonymous forum...

Possible.

Plausible.

At what point do we stop yelling the sky is falling when we cant control something?

Typical - never let a good crisis go to waste...

If the Venezuelan and socialist policies of Chavez are so superior, then why have they not found a cure for cancer yet? Why does Chavez need to go to Cuba for treatment instead of using his own health care system? Convenient to blame his own failings and superiority claims, again, on the US.

If the US didnt create cancer then Chavez could cure it.
If the US didnt give Chavez cancer, then he would be able to cure it.

blah blah blah US evil, blah blah blah Chavez savior....

To me paranoia is the answer, but people are free to draw their own conclusions.

He talks about it like normal people have no idea what can give people cancer. Look up "class 1 carcinogens."

Ionizing radiation is a particularly effective way, and one that cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. In fact, it's really very difficult to detect. It also takes a while for many cancers to kick in, so by then, it is difficult to impossible to correlate the event (tampered-with party sausage, nuclear power plant "tiny leak", whatever,) with the outcome. See: Japanese and North American populations' general obliviousness to being hosed with it this year. "If I can't see it, and I didn't keel over immediately, it ain't here. Sushi, anyone?"

Arent the related / contributing death tolls to Fukashima at like 14k deaths so far in the US?

As far as Chavez goes giving one person cancer without affecting others, as we see, is difficult to do. Secondly, since he won his elections, we didnt place him, which means we never "planned" for him to take office, which means we would have started after he was in office if the US is indeed behind something like this.

Why the Us though? what about the opposition? What about other countries? When he nationalized a lot of the industries, he pissed a lot of governments off around the world.

Chavez is a paranoid dictator.

Sees a US conspiracy in everything.

He could fit right in on ATS.

Example:

"My butt itches really bad. I've been sitting on a chair assembled in the US and made in Israel. CIA/Mossad connection? I think so."

Nuff said................

It could well be paranoia, but like I said, it's possible.

Didn't they try to assassinate his buddy Fidel Castro in the 60's....

In August 1960, the earliest attempt had the CIA's Office of Medical Services dose some of Castro's cigars with a virulent toxin; they were then slipped into his private stash during a trip to the United Nations. No luck. About the same time the New York Police Department learned the CIA aborted similar plans with cigars loaded with, yes, explosives.

The CIA's Technical Services Division planned to lace Castro's cigars with a super-hallucinogen (perhaps BZ), to embarrass him publicly by causing a wild acid trip during a public appearance.

The CIA also planned to embarrass Fidel by sneaking thallium salts into Castro's shoes; thallium salts are a "potent depilatory that would cause his beard, eyebrows, and pubic hair to fall out... like a follicle deprived Samson."

Upon learning that Castro enjoyed scuba diving, the Technical Services Division purchased a diving suit and contaminated the regulator with tuberculosis bacilli. Vankin and Whalen tell us that "Nothing if not scrupulous, they also treated the suit itself with fungus spores that would cause the rare skin disease, madura foot." An American lawyer negotiating for the release of Bay of Pigs prisoners was supposed to give Castro the suit, but unfortunately a shuttle diplomat decided to give Fidel an uncontaminated suit instead and spare the U.S. from a potential diplomatic brouhaha.

Why would it be so far fetched ? Doesn't the US love to murder "dictators" ?

Research Jack Layton. He was going to be the next primeminister of Canada. Died.
Dont forget Arafat.
North Korean president too.

Oh yes, the death of Jack Layton has been discussed many times already-- I believe a few of us get it.
for noting it.
