Thursday, February 25, 2010 Taking at look at the memoirs of Independence hero, Daniel Florence O'Leary
The British Library is a wonderful institution, a quiet and modern haven just beside London's St. Pancras international station where you can take a three-hour trip on Eurostar to Paris and next to the twin station of King's Cross. It was here in the British Library that Karl Marx researched material for the momentous and radical Das Kapital.

I have to wonder how people can actually read (and believe) VenEconomy.com ... I spent about 25 years working as a corporate fraud investigator and technology research investigator/recruiter in several countries. where my job was to decipher situations which others either were not able to decipher or did not want to decipher for reasons of conflict of interest.

Tuesday, November 24, 2009 Deals with the two-faced Colombian dictatorship are meaningless...

Monday, November 16, 2009 A quarter of USA debt is owed to almost 40 years of Social Security surpluses (1 comments)
I've been thinking about buying, about trade deficits (the quick deficit), international trade, dollars, oil, and Christmas. The trade statistical recaps of our imports and exports for the month of September 2009 were just made public last week.
Friday, May 8, 2009 Nawh, your honor, they ain't stupid! R. Allen's just real slick! (1 comments)

Friday, April 3, 2009 Venezuela-Britain: Payments to politicians on two very different continents!
Meanwhile the Venezuelan debacle appears to pale into insignificance compared to the brouhaha which has currently engulfed the government of Britain's PM Gordon Brown in the wake of last weekend's media revelations that Home Secretary (Interior Minister) Jacqui Smith's husband had put two porno films on her parliamentary expenses
Thursday, March 26, 2009 Venezuela plays and will continue to play a role in restructuring the world economic order...
Venezuela can balance the warmongers and pacify the bankers ... but it requires the cooperation of Russia and the agreement of China since the Chinese's worthless US$ bonds can be revalued in a new energy currency since we all know that the West cannot exist without oil/gasoline."
Sunday, November 9, 2008 Yes! We're talking about the launching into orbit of a 8,000 watt communications satellite...
I somehow don't believe for a second that Chinese television will have gone into such wall-to-wall raptures as mandated from government-controlled Venezuelana de Television (VTV) and forced down the tubes of all the other Venezuelan public airwave broadcasters.
Friday, October 10, 2008 The same forces of corruption which destroyed USA can NOT be allowed to destroy Venezuela!
If both socialism and capitalism are now failures, it will be the fitfull flare of the torches in the various temples of superstition which will illuminate the new Dark Ages ... and the only remaining well-organized bloc of voters here in the USA are quite prepared to lead the way into that abyss. This is why the TRUE work of Hugo Chavez Frias is so important.
Friday, October 3, 2008 Big Banks, organized crime, the Mafia -- is there really any difference, or "Bloody Hell" is all this just Bull****!

Tuesday, September 2, 2008 What's good for Zulia; Good for Alaska! A new demarche for Bolivarian diplomacy!
Rather than becoming angry with the attempts of US Ambassador Duddy in his efforts to encourage centrifugal tendencies in Zulia State and elsewhere in the Fifth Republic's territories, Caracas should instruct its Washington DC embassy to get in touch with, and offer, aid to the Alaska Independence Party and its serving governor, Sarah Palin.
Tuesday, July 8, 2008 What on earth does Venezuela have to learn from English legends? (1 comments)
Very much to Washington's chagrin, and the fact that their biased irrationality always equates 21st Century socialism with Stalinist-style communism, it is gaining ground throughout the southern continent as they (Latinos) see the north's peculiar brand of fascism begin to implode with lunatic leaders ensconced in the self-delusion that they will not be swamped by the waves and eventually drowned in their own arrogance.
Sunday, June 29, 2008 Headliner: "At the gateway to a coup d'etat, Chavez hostage to insecurity!" (3 comments)
To try to navigate among the various levels of political chicanery and media manipulation that have beleagured the Governor's current status (in the Venezuelan equivalent of Siberia), is probably the subject of some political-psychological treatise in the upper echelons of academia
