Related: About this forumVenezuela publishes decree with Chavez signature
http://news.yahoo.com/venezuela-publishes-decree-chavez-signature-142512976.html......CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) Venezuela's government has published a decree signed by President Hugo Chavez, while his vice president said Wednesday that the ailing leader also sent a message of gratitude to the military for its loyalty.
It was the first time the president's signature has appeared in the Official Gazette since his latest cancer surgery in Cuba more than five weeks ago. The decree issued Tuesday and published in the government newspaper on Wednesday names former vice president Elias Jaua as Venezuela's new foreign minister. The signature is printed along with the presidential stamp.
Current Vice President Nicolas Maduro, who has been in charge of the country during Chavez's recovery, announced Jaua's appointment at a National Assembly session on Tuesday.
Chavez has not made any public comments since his operation last month, his fourth in 18 months. He has been fighting an unspecified type of pelvic cancer, and his silence has fed speculation about his medical condition.

The signature is most likely by autopen. Their effort to show proof of life is quite lame.

NOBODY is gonna believe he's alive, or at least conscious, if there is not a single shred of video or photography or recording that shows he's in conditions for governing.
