Chavez: Opponents plotting assassination
Well, it looks like Bush meeting with Chavez's opponent now has prompted his concerns that there might again be some plots to "out" him! Keep buying more Citgo gas! Help him fight the Bush fascists off!

Chavez: Opponents plotting assassination

CHRISTOPHER TOOTHAKER

Associated Press

CARACAS, Venezuela - President Hugo Chavez warned Thursday that his opponents are allegedly plotting his assassination and urged supporters to implement "revolutionary" changes in Venezuela if they succeed.

During a speech at Miraflores Presidential Palace, Chavez told a group of Venezuelans participating in government-organized employment programs that "there are still plans to kill me."

Chavez was short on details, and he did not say who was behind the purported assassination plot on Thursday. In the past, he has accused the United States government of being behind plots to kill him.

"I put myself in God's hands and, besides, we are working hard so that they don't kill me," said Chavez, whose presidential guard boosted security measures in March in response to an alleged assassination plot.

3. In the same speech Chavez announced the huge programs
being started to improve the infrastructure of Venezuela. But our press does not mention that but just tries to portray Chavez as a paranoid crazy leader who does nothing but rant about conspiracies.
