Libya considering Chavez plan for resolving unrest

Hugo Chavez, the self important clown of Venezuela, says that he has proposed a plan to the Arab League which detailed "resolving the unrest" in Libya.

Just what we need in this world, another dictator reaching out to help another dictator.

Reuters reported today that Chavez's plan was to work with an international commission on working with Moammar Gaddafi on restoring Libya.  Like Iran, Libya has had a productive working relationship with Chavez. But the details of Chavez's so-called "turnaround plan" offered no precise details as to what would be proposed. It seems apparent that Chavez is wanting to work with Gaddafi perhaps due to oil. Anyone with a triple digit IQ knows that Chavez has no real commitment to restoring peace in any country, he is just about as brutal as Gaddafi.

Critics are already calling Chavez's plan as nothing more than offering Gaddafi "an easy way out of power". Meanwhile Chavez has been criticizing Washington as "exaggerating reports of repression" of his pal Gaddafi, simply as a way for the U.S. to possibly invade that country.

Noting Chavez's participation with Iran on uranium enrichment, it seems logical to conclude that Chavez probably wants some kind of consideration from Libya. Again, could it be oil? Working in the future to develop nuclear programs? Offering subsidies for terrorist groups?

At this point, Chavez's plan is simply under consideration, but at this point Gaddafi is in dire need of any support he can muster. Even if it is from another horrible individual. Sort of like evil meets evil.

Hugo Chavez is an "axis of mischief"

In the hundreds of thousands of classified State Department documents that WikiLeaks released earlier this week, one of those memos dating as far back as 2006, indicates that the United States views Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez as an "Axis of Mischief", instead of what former President Bush named on his "Axis of Evil" list.

This particular released memo (or cable) discusses Venezuela's close relationship with Iran, hatred against Israel, Cuba assisting Chavez in anti-US intelligence services and to eventually establish nuclear plans which Russia agreed to support earlier this year in supplying a nuclear reactor plant.

Yet in the last few years while President Bush called Chavez nothing more than a 'clown' and President Obama not giving much concern either, the United States has sat in denial mode about Venezuela's plans and the relationships it has developed with some of our not-to-friendly enemies.

I suppose if you're only paying little attention to this country's agenda, one could see the U.S. calling it as "simple mischief".

Really?

The leaked document went on to further say that Chavez actually relies heavily on Cuban intelligence, than his own country's intelligence force. You may recall how much hatred Cuba had against the United States in the 1960's during incidents like the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis. I'd suspect that hatred is still around today.

But perhaps the most intriguing of all is Venezuela's continued relationship with Iran. What is an almost sickening "me and you" moments are the pictures of Chavez and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hugging each other and getting comfortable with their friendship. Well, this friendship is apparently sending shock-waves among Venezuela's Jewish community, seeing Iran's resentment against Israel and now from Venezuela.

Chavez of course claims that his words against Israel are not anti-Semitic, after he broke relations in 2009.

Quite disturbing I have to say. But the U.S. is still barely expressing even a minor concern.

Does anyone remember Adolph Hitler's plan with Jewish communities in Nazi Germany?

Is Obama keeping U.S. safe from a “new” nuclear war and terror?

What is obviously continuing to be an escalating global threat, it was confirmed yesterday that North Korea has enriched uranium for its nuclear facilities. The news apparently sent shockwaves through Washington, yet some U.S. Officials were not entirely surprised by the situation… Well, the ones that were not surprised, at least understand that we’ve only been warned about North Korea’s anticipated progress on advancing its nuclear ambitions for fifteen years, or more. Yet nothing was ever done, except sign a piece of paper with the United Nations.

Back in June 2009 while in France, President Obama was asked at a press conference about North Korea and its relationship with Iran concerning their nuclear ambitions. The President seemed rather evasive on addressing the issue and could not clearly answer the United States’ policy with North Korea specifically, although he ended his statement by saying:

I don’t think that there should be an assumption, that we will simply continue down a path in which North Korea is constantly destabilizing the region, and we just react the same ways by after they do these things after a while, we reward them.”

Well, why don’t we stop assuming Mr. President? After all, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il has shown a clear defiance all this time, and violated its resolution with the United Nations. That should be enough of an indicator that they are one step further in expanding their program.

But North Korea, continuing its nuclear plans is just the tip of the iceberg. The United States has feared North Korea intention to sell missiles and nuclear technology to Iran. Even more terrifying, is the notion of North Korea ,possibly one day selling any of its nuclear programs to al-Qaeda, something that the terrorist network would absolutely love to get its hands on.

Iran has actually continued its operations out of the Middle East, in moving forward in establishing their nuclear plans. Now, the country is apparently mining for uranium in Venezuela. Russia agreed earlier this year, to help Venezuela build a nuclear reactor plant, and continued its relationship in assisting Iran. Over the course of the last several years, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have meet with each other in their respective countries to discuss their plans, with Venezuela actually allowing Iran to take over a mining site within its own country to obtain uranium.

Incidentally, on Chavez’s numerous trips to Iran in the last two years, he also began subsidizing the Militant Islamic group Hezbollah in Lebanon, while continuing to work in conjunction with Iran on its nuclear programs. 

Why in the world would a Latin American President be giving money to an organization bent on destroying the United States and Israel?

The commonality of these three countries is based on the fact that they have been working to create a nuclear program that could threaten the safety of the world. Taking into consideration Chavez’s relationship with Hezbollah, which in itself has ties with al-Qaeda and Iran’s relationship with North Korea, which in turn could sell its missiles or weapons to al-Qaeda, paints a very disturbing picture as to what the United States is doing to seriously address this matter.

President Obama has done little when has come to moving forward on solutions to force North Korea and Iran to dismantle their nuclear plans, and is reluctant to admit putting sanctions against Venezuela and its connections to Iran and Middle East terrorist organizations.

The President also seems to be very reluctant to admit that al-Qaeda has moved its breeding grounds to North Africa in the Sahara desert, since the terrorist network has felt increasing heat to move away from Pakistan and Yemen. In September, al-Qaeda kidnapped five French nationals in Niger, and are currently holding them hostage. As of yesterday, al-Qaeda is reportedly demanding that France pull its troops out of Afghanistan if they want to see the hostages released. This, at the height of the NATO summit last week, which its topic of discussion was pulling out of Afghanistan by 2014.

Here’s a side recommendation to the French Government: If they are successful in getting its citizens out of the hands of al-Qaeda, then they should step up and use their own nuclear weapons as a primary defense in the war on terror, along with the United States. One problem resolved. Wouldn’t want to see all of that nuclear testing in the French Polynesian ocean near the Tahitian Moruroa Atoll go to waste.

But these are continuous escalating global threats. I would question President Obama as to how serious he is on taking affirmative action against these countries nuclear plans and the continuation of the threat from al-Qaeda in order to protect the United States, with the assistance of our allies. He can either get the United States to move on these problems; or simply just do what he said in his speech back in June of 2009, and just let them do their thing and reward them later.

This is probably the biggest world threat since the end of the Cold War, and this is not the extension of it, but rather something much worse.
