Same as Hitlers Germany goes Venezuala. History does repeat itself.

The station that was shut down was one of the oldest TV stations in Latin America…by the way every independent station supported the coup. The bottom line is that by silencing critics to your performance you obviously have something to hide as Mr. Chavez has. Is actually very interesting that the station went down and a new pro-Chavez station came through without any open call for a new franchise, like it would anywhere in the world.

The democratic nations of S. America need to stand up and take control of the Chavez regime.

it will be a slow steady decline in the living standards for all in Venezuela. the motto of hugo should read as 'if we all cant be rich, we all should be poor'. The only thing Hugo has going for him is the oil, without that his ideas would fall flat a lot faster, now its just a slow slow decline. No economic sense at all. He embraces useless countries with no economic sense, such as Iran and Cuba...yeesh. Ya voted for him now ya got to live with him.
