Venezuela: Environment and Economy
Huge wealth inequality is a major feature of Venezuelan society. This continues to undermine sustainable development and contributes to political instability. It already looks unlikely that Venezuela will meet all of its Millennium Development goals (1990 - 2015) on poverty reduction despite the reforming zeal and promises of the current administration. This explains the popularity of reforms designed to bring about a less unequal society in opposition to powerful vested interests in maintaining the status quo. The current administration has labelled the reform and poverty reduction agenda as the "Bolivarian Revolution" and is using oil industry profits to finance social programmes aimed at...
Hugo Chavez Attempts to Hijack Venezuela -...
The President of Venezuela has decided that elections are simply not needed, he will be glad to stay in power for as long as he wants the job, for now that would be indefinitely. Perhaps, he would like to keep it in the family and start a monarchy or just make himself a king and stay in power. Of course, many people who work with him, will not speak up, as they kind of like their job and their life. The people on the other hand, well some feel betrayed and have taken to wild protests, which really borderline riots; they want no part of the Hugo Chavez's plan to rule the nation. It has been reported in the World News for quite some time that President Hugo Chavez would forgo elections and extend his...
US Aircraft Carriers Needed 187 Miles Off the...
Some strategic analysts believe it is time to put a couple of battlegroups off the coast of Venezuela, and in reviewing this, it appears that 187 miles is the best distance to put our aircraft carriers, as it will give our aircraft the range to hit any target within the borders of that little and powerless nation. But please realize that Venezuela is gearing up for war; War against whom? That's a good question, as Venezuela has few enemies, and yet, it has labeled the USA an enemy. It has also been funding FARC a known terrorist organization, so that it can undermine the governments of its neighborhood, those neighbors who are siding with capitalism and not socialism or communism. Hugo Chavez of...
Is it possible to take too much oil from the ground? Enough to cause small to medium tectonic shifts; sure it is and it happens all the time. For instance in Iran, as they take all the oil from below and replace it with sea water of a different density and in some places do not replace it at all. Most of the Earthquakes in Iran are caused by the taking of their underground oil and whether they will admit it or not they are killing their own people in doing so. Worse Iran is using the money from the oil it takes out of the ground to by weapons and fund international terrorist organizations to kill even more people. Does this make nations like Venezuela and Iran problematic nations for the future...
Russia continues to sell weapons and weapons technologies to adversaries of the United States. They sold Mig Fighter planes to Saddam Hussein and were advising him even up until the US invaded Baghdad. Today, the Russians are selling weapons to Iran too, lots of them, and many other advanced technologies too. But that's not all, no sir, apparently they are upping the ante in South America. According to the BBC; "Russia has agreed to lend Venezuela over $2bn (£1.2bn) to buy weapons, President Hugo Chavez has said. The credit will be used to purchase nearly 100 tanks and a series of anti-aircraft rocket systems from Russia." Earlier in the year the BBC reported a Russian arms sale of $4 Billion...
Things to See in Venezuela

Despite what you read in the media, there is little unrest and you should be fine as long as you use common sense.

It is considered a bit of an oddity because it is both rich from oil revenues, yet has the distinct class separation one...
Venezuela's President and his new friend running Bolivia are busy nationalizing industry and businesses, and they are taking all the facilities and foreign investment that has been poured into their country over the years. Bolivia has also defaulted on loans, and nationalized mining operations, foreign owned corporations and caused a mess of emerging markets investments and their trust in assisting such nations. When a nation-state nationalized his industry and private businesses, some people believe that they are duly giving back to the people what is rightfully theirs. This is a rather unfortunate stance because when a nation makes a deal and foreign investment comes into the country with the...
