Former Ambassador of Panama to the OAS: "Hugo Chavez is dead"

(visit the link for the full news article)

Just released on CNN South America.

UPDATE: www.wnd.com...


UPDATE #2 Unconfirmed reports.

I'm not thee best Google searcher, but I can tell you this wouldn't be "leaked". They'd want to make a formal announcement and he hasn't been seen all week.

I don't usually feel good when another person dies....

I'll make an exception just this once. I think I'll buy myself some take out on the way home as a little treat for the occasion.

(Yeah...I really disliked him and what he did to Venezuela THAT much) Lets hope his replacement isn't worse.

If true, RIP. He stood up to many people and many things, and if cancer took him, it took that to do it.

The power struggle will have been going on a long time, but he has a duly elected vice president who has probably run the country for several months now.

I htought that photo had been proven a hoax though, and if not, it's quite old by now. He may have been dead for a long time, and they've propped up a false story just to keep the crowds from the streets.

C'mon Wrabbit...it's always worse.

Having said that, I'm with you in the hopes tho...

Peace

Yeah, he was sure one for the record books. It's not sad to see him go but I wonder who Obama is going to take political tips from now.

Wow, thats what i thought when i first read the title of the thread.


Now whats next for that area?

www.punditpress.com...

Guillermo Cochez, a Panamanian politician, says the president of Venezuela is deceased. Talking with CNN Chile, the former ambassador said that on December 30 President Chavez had been declared brain dead in Cuba, returning to Venezuela eventually in that state. Therefore Chavez could not have been visited by the various leaders who reportedly met him... The information obtained by the former diplomat says are "sources within the Venezuelan government" and that is information that has been circulating for weeks... Guillermo also said Chavez died four days ago and asked her daughters to disconnect the ventilator which was connected to survive.

but they are citing cnn chilie

Hopefully the next leader has a set of brains and the area gets better. It was only a matter of time of Hugo though...

Cheers!

This is going to send ripples through the international community.

There are a lot of oil rights at stake, and a lot of countries that will be looking to create new influences where they otherwise could not do so before when Chavez was in power.

I'm sure that this is already in the works for many months now, but it's going to really kick in to high gear.

Let's see how the chips fall and how many more central banks pop up.

I for one will not be weeping over the demise of HC.
Hmmm... I wonder what kind of Ambassador Kim Kardashian would make...?

edit on 27-2-2013 by Helious because: (no reason given)

Castro is still alive.

www.theatlanticwire.com... this source seems to be saying dont take it as gospel quite yet.....so i dont think any one is sure whats going on if i was him or his handlers id get him in front of a camera asap if hes still alive

But Guillermo Cochez is also arguably a conspiracy theorist. Earlier on Wednesday, Cochez — and only Chochez — reported that Chávez had been brain dead since December 30. Cochez said that Chávez was being kept on life support and later, citing sources within the Venezuelan government, added that his daughters had finally decided to pull the plug. Assuming the best for President Chávez's health, it sort of sounds like Cochez is just trolling the Venezuelans. "I challenge the Venezuelan government to prove me wrong, and to present President Chávez so that it's known whether what I say is the truth or a lie," Cochez told CNN Chile. (Forgive the choppy Spanish translation; it's been a while since college.) So do we believe the guy who's daring the Venezuelan government to prove him wrong?

www.globalpost.com... this post talks about the potental problems that MAY be brewing

while i wont speak for all Americans i think alot of people in this country dont like him for the following reasons

some consider him socialist/communist(im honestly not sure which one)

hes openly talked about doing things to counter our countries interests and has been very vocal in condeming our country

he nationalized his countrys resources which if my memory serves me some may have been our investments and that i guess rubbed some people the wrong way.

think alot of it stems from the bush days when i think we considered him an accessory to the axis of evil or what not
