Hillary Clinton and Hugo Chavez: the face of Obama's engagement
A fundamental tenet of President Obama's change to believe in is diplomatic engagement with countries that are less than friendly toward los estados unidos. The friendly outreach hasn't produced much but embarrassing rebuffs from Iran, which continues down its dangerous path toward nuclear armament. Without receiving anything in return, Obama used a Recess Appointment last week to return an American ambassador to Syria, which assassinated Lebanon's president, arms Militant groups t...

Hugo Chavez's bipolar currency logic
Economy Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez announced late on January 8 the implementation of a new Exchange Rate that includes two official prices for The Dollar. The first Exchange Rate will be VEB 2.60 per dollar (previously at VEB 2.15), and the so-called "oil dollar" at VEB 4.30. The ruler also reported that the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV), jointly with the Executive Office would step in the foreign exchange market to prevent speculative foreign exchange operations.

Is Chavez Going Down the Tubes: Last Chance for Venezuela's Revolution?
BuzzFlash and Truthout offer an ongoing special focus on South and Central America and provide a variety of progressive viewpoints on the economic, sociological and political changes in the area.  This is one of them.

Tired of the same super-rich oligarchy dominating The Economy, which creates th...

Last Chance for Venezuelas Revolution?
The pulse of the revolution grows faint. Extreme measures are needed, since the extremely poor living conditions of most Venezuelans demand it. They are tired of the government taking half actions. Tired of the same super-rich oligarchy dominating The Economy, which creates the horrendous inequality that overshadows Venezuelan society. If the revolution is not quickly pushed to the left, it will be strangled by the right. For all the positive things Chavez has accomplished as President, he is in...

Hugo Chavez Takes Over the Federal Reserve
Time was when countries believed in strong currencies — strength measured not in the Rhetoric of bearded wise men but of bank vaults flush with gold coin. Venezuelan tyrant Hugo Chavez recently announced that he would be devaluing his currency on New Year’s day.  As the Wall Street Journal reported: News of the devaluation came just after the Central Bank said the Venezuelan economy contracted 1.9% in 2010, the second consecutive year of declining output in the oil-rich nation after a...

US considering seeking new envoy to Venezuela
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama Administration says it may nominate a new ambassador to Venezuela after its previous choice was rejected by the government of President Hugo Chavez. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the U.S. believes it is important to have an ambassador in Caracas in order to manage relations, which have been strained by Chavez’s condemnations of the U.S. and by U.S. criticisms that Democracy is deteriorating in Venezuela. Crowley said Monday the administratio...

Still Like Liberalism? How About Venezuela?
Hugo Chavez, the tin-horned little tyrant running Venezuela, is implementing every liberal policy he can. From seizing land from the rich to price controls, if you can name it old uncle Hugo is trying it. I know liberals always cringe whenever their fellow travelers are mentioned and they try to spin as hard as their little minds can muster in order to make it seem as though people like Comrade Chavez are not really their kindred spirits but the facts don't lie.

US and Venezuela cut diplomatic ties
Us and Venezuela cut ties. This originally stems from the refusal to seat the US Diplomat due to some obviously tender words which Chavez didn't like. We can't have Chavez dictating what a US ambassador can and can't say. The US followed suit and expelled their ambassador as is common procedure. I don't see the US changing their opinion on this matter so look for this to drag on for years. Life will go on for the US in Venezuela. Even though we don't have an official ambassador figurehead, a lo...

Chavez defends economic measures in Venezuela

With that decision, the country moved to a single official rate of 4.6 bol...
