    This man has destroyed Venezuela´s present and future, the hundreds of nationalized enterprises are falling apart in corruption and negligence. There´s a businessman from Venezuela who migrated to Mexico recently, he came with all his family and brought some of his employees along with him to start all over again in Mexico. He misses his country, his culture and his people. He tells us that the whole country´s economy has been destroyed by Chavez, that the billions of dollars Venezuela receives for its oil exports are being wasted in unproductive projects and frivolous policies.

    And now they will not get rid of Chavez via elections, he has the power and won´t let go. Just look at who his friends are,,,the Castros.

    You are absolutely correct Jose.

    It looks as if CFK is sleep-walking Argentina into becoming a new Venezuela.

    WAKE UP ARGENTINA!

    ARGENTINE FISHERMEN ARE 'DINING ON DOLPHINS' CAUGHT ILLEGALLY IN THE FALKLANDS ISLANDS WATERS

    Animals being 'hauled on board trawlers after becoming trapped in nets in Falklands Islands waters' -Wildlife experts believe fisherman are slicing fillets before throwing bodies back into the sea

    PUBLISHED: 4 May 2012 |

    Callous Argentine fishermen are eating steaks carved from dolphins which have been illegally caught in the South Atlantic Channel, conservationists claim.
    Experts believe the animals are being hauled on board trawlers after becoming trapped in nets off the Falklands Islands waters.
    Fillets of flesh are then sliced off to be eaten before the bodies of the highly intelligent mammals are callously tossed back into the water.

    Threat: Common dolphins seen off the Falklands coats. Wildlife experts have accused Argentine fisherman of eating the animals
    Since the beginning of January, Falklands Wildlife Trust's Marine Strandings Network has examined and recorded 50 dead dolphins and porpoises. Just under half, 23, showed distinct signs of having died in fishing gear.

    A common dolphin, examined on the beach at in early April, one of five discovered in the same week, showed scars typical of a large trawler net from which it presumably tried to escape. A spokesman for South Atlantic Wildlife Trust said: 'A large fillet of flesh had been removed from the back - presumably for eating. 'This is a known practice on Argentine boats and Argentine pair trawlers were working close to the Islands waters at the time. 'The dolphin's tail had been cut off in the course of cutting the animal free from a winch strop which was used to lift it over the side of the boat

    May all of the Rich Venezuelans who fled Chavez return to their country and get back on track with screwing their own people.
    Once the Castro's are gone the Cubans from Miami can go back in and do the same, returning it to it's once sub-Haitian status.
