Hugo Chavez; Is this guy for real? The BBC reports (see here) that he has threatened to nationalise idle farms and help the "firms workers set up coops. He said the move was needed to fight poverty and end Venezuela's dependence on "the perverse model of capitalism". He also threatened similar action against manufacturing and industrial firms.
But according to the BBC, Mr. Chavez is also at odds with the Church,
Earlier on Sunday, Venezuela's most senior Roman Catholic Cardinal, Rosalio Castillo, accused the president of acquiring dictatorial powers.
But in his broadcast, Mr Chavez again insisted that Venezuelans have a clear choice.
"Either capitalism, which is the road to hell, or socialism, for those who want to build the kingdom of God here on Earth," he said.
In another article, (see here) the BBC reports:
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has said he is about to expel a US missionary group, New Tribes Mission.
The leftist leader said the missionaries were "imperialists" and he felt "ashamed" at their presence in indigenous areas of Venezuela.
Something tells me, "This man is crazy!" I mean Jim Jones, kool aid drinking crazy.
