the VP's education or his ability to run the country. What does that have to do with anything?
Which channel?
I just think it's disingenuous (and probably against T&C) ....

I just went and turned on the TV news again .... Fox is, once again, referring to the Venezuelan VP as a 'former bus driver'. I turned to CNN ... they didnt' have the story up at this time but they had previously referred to him as 'a bus driver'. Both mentioned his education level. Both had mocking voices.

Sure. No question. But to claim that the USA pinpointed a person to 'infect' with cancer?? That's odd. If the USA wanted Chavez dead, he'd be dead a lot quicker and in a lot more sure way than a cancer that takes a long time and could be cured. ya' know??
During the 1950s the CIA developed cancer-causing drugs for use in political assassination - drugs that would produce what appeared to be 'natural' death. A 1952 agency memo reports on the cancer-inducing uses of beryllium: 'This is certainly the most toxic inorganic element and it produces a peculiar fibrotic tumor at the site of local application. The amount necessary to produce these tumors is a few micrograms.' The same memo talks of the possibility of developing techniques for getting beryllium into the victim's lungs by having it inhaled in small doses.

The corporate media will be the corporate media. It is the cool "pro American" thing to mock Venezuela for not becoming a Banana republic.

As I have clearly shown, the idea of weaponized cancer is not new at all. So why would it be so far fetched to think it possible?

This is nuttier than squirrel poop.
So do we know for certain this is all nonsense, or is it so just because you say it is?
Are such capabilities completely impossible?
Do you have expert medical or intelligence knowledge that we are not privy too?
As one poster has already mentioned the United States has gone to great lengths over the decades to try and assassinate Fidel Castro with all kinds of zany schemes. All failing thankfully.
I'm not saying such allegations are true, but I would not put it past them attempting to assassinate Chavez.

As I have clearly shown on this thread, weaponized cancer CAN be done ... but I dont' think it was.
1 - No proof. If proof comes forward, I'll rethink the position.
2 - 1/3 of all people on the planet will get cancer. Cancer is just cancer almost all the time.
3 - Venezuela wasn't a big problem. If this story had said N. Korea or Iran ... then I'd be more inclined to go along with it more easily. But Chavez?? It's not like he was a major problem. His hand picked sucessor is going to be just like him anyways, so there is no point to kill off Chavez.edit on 3/6/2013 by FlyersFan because: (no reason given)

So you consider the testimony and findings of the 1975 United States Senate Select Committee to not be "proof"?

you do not find it the least bit suspicious that every South American leader that supported Chavez also ended up with Cancer?
MS> Is it even possible to inject something into someone to MS> get cancer? If it is, was this available when Ruby died? - According to Philip H. Melanson ("High Tech Mysterious Deaths", *Critique*, Vol. 3,4, Issue No. 15/16, Fall/Winter '84/'85): "During the 1950s the CIA developed cancer-causing drugs for use in political assassination - drugs that would produce what appeared to be 'natural' death.

The amount necessary to produce these tumors is a few micrograms.' The same memo talks of the possibility of developing techniques for getting beryllium into the victim's lungs by having it inhaled in small doses." According to Edward T. Haslam ("Mary, Ferrie, and the Monkey Virus", *Conference Abstracts*, Wash. DC: Coalition on Political Assassinations, 1994, p. 18.): "... Jim Garrison discovered an underground medical laboratory which induced cancer into animals. The lab was run by ... David Ferrie and several New Orleans doctors. One of the doctors was Mary Sherman, a nationally prominent cancer researcher who was brutally murdered in 1964.

1/3 of all people on the planet will get cancer. I've had it twice. My husband once. Gee .. I guess that means someone has infected us on purpose, right? No. Cancer is cancer. It's everywhere. And with Fukishima spewing radiation around the world, there is even more of it now.
Chavez was just Chavez. He made anti-american speeches. So what? If this story had come out about Iran or N. Korea or Syria .. my ears would perk up. But Chavez? He wasn't doing anything to America. He was screwing his own people over .. but he wasn't a problem for America. I really don't think the Obama administration .. or any of the spook agencies under Obama .. would bother.
You have your opinion. I have mine. Mine will change if any hard evidence is found .... like a whistleblower from here or if Chavez body is tested by multiple independent places and it comes back as being radiated or something .... Otherwise, cancer is just cancer.
Oh look .. Valerie Harper has brain cancer ... Mary Tyler Moore musta' given it to her
