Reporting from Lago Agrio, Ecuador
Wednesday November 14

Before The Lord spoke unto Pat Robertson and told him to endorse Rudy Giuliani, family man, for President, the Reverend got a message that higher powers wanted him to arrange a hit on another President:

“Hugo Chavez thinks we’re trying to assassinate him. I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it.”


Robertson has a tough time separating Church and Hate. But when the vicious vicar declared it was time to take out the President of Venezuela, he was simply channeling the wishes of the Supreme Authority, Dick Cheney.

I’m asking you to see the story they don’t want you to see in the USA: from the original investigations filmed for BBC Television, “The Assassination of Hugo”- a special DVD documentary by myself and Rick Rowley. NOT for general release - ONLY available as a gift to donors to the not-for-profit Palast Investigative Fund.

Why must they kill Chavez?

With the help of guerrila cameraman Rick Rowley (”Fourth World War”), I flew to Caracas to get the answer - from Chavez himself. I also talked to the guy who took Chavez hostage in 2002. (I had to wear a wire for that one.)

The answer is right underneath Chavez’ feet. Oil. How much? According to the inside documents that fell into my hands from the Department of Energy - LOTS of oil, five times the reserves of Saudi Arabia.

The DVD includes Chavez himself, in our extended exclusive interviews. We go over the Bush plans - for his oil, and for his “elimination.” Sing along with the crooning champion of the poor - or, as George Bush titles him, “a demagogue awash with oil money.”

Watch the film - from Caracas malls to the oil tankers by helicopter - the story I guarantee you won’t get on the Petroleum Broadcasting System.

1. We will take him out if we get the chance...

...and there's plausible deniability.

[Joe Chi Minh]

3. Sure there is.

[Mnemosyne]

2. Palast has never seemed like a killer!

:hi:

4. I will continue to fill up with Citgo gas as

my personal contribution to Venezuela vs Shell Oil. I'm sure it's not even a drop in the bucket but I feel like I'm not supporting the Big Oil Bastards that invaded Iraq. Greedy thugs are drooling over Iran and Venezuela. You know the saying "what's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine, too."

5. Hoping Greg Palast will stick close to Venezuela for the duration.

He started telling us something crazy was going to happen to Chavez long before the armed kidnapping and coup in April, 2002.

Hoping he will be able to stay healthy, and will live a very long, accident-free time, bringing us the stories our own corporate media refuse to illuminate truthfully.

6. Whoa ... I'm over there to check this out!

This sounds VERY interesting!

[Cleita]

7. The neo-con side of our country's politicos will assassinate

any head of state who gets in their way, whether by blood or character assassination and usually both hand in hand. They have been doing both to Chavez. I hope he has some of Yasser Arafat's security detail working for him. They kept old Yasser alive for decades by being ever vigilant to the hit squads.
