ChavezWatch: New Growth for Venezuela

He brings in International Business

While President Hugo Chavez has been molding Venezuela into his personal socialist vision, other transformations -- less visible but equally profound -- have taken hold in the country.

Venezuela has become a major hub for international crime syndicates. What attracts them is not the local market; what they really love are the excellent conditions Venezuela offers to anyone in charge of managing a global criminal network.
.....
While this situation has so far been rather invisible to the rest of the world, it is patently clear to those in charge of fighting transnational crime. Anti-trafficking officials in Europe, the United States, Asia and other Latin American countries are paying unprecedented attention to Venezuela. These officials are not particularly interested in Venezuelan politics or in Chavez's policies. All they care about is that the tentacles of these global criminal networks are spreading from Venezuela into their countries with enormous power and at great speed.

The numbers speak volumes: About 75 tons of cocaine left Venezuela in 2003; it is estimated that 276 tons will leave the country this year. Before, the main destination was the United States; now, Europe is increasingly the target. Italy and Spain are two new important and lucrative end-user markets, and earning in euros is undeniably better than getting paid in dollars these days.

But imagine the business opportunities for the poor Chavez followers... whores, pimps and drug runners!

Note: Need to contrast him to Castro. It was basically the Cuban crime element that led to Castro kicking out Batista. And Cuba isnt exactly as well located logistically Especially with US Sanctions. That's the GOOD side of the sanctions.

Good Quotes!
"You just dont see 'ass' on the side of the road everyday"

"Ye-ah but Ga-as dont rhyme too well with Ass."

I used to like Chavez, I could understand his hatred of the US seeing how we really fucked South America over during the Cold War and he was doing some good things. But now he wants to turn Venezuela into Cuba, and last time I checked Cuba is a poor third-world nation. How about the Norwegians teach him what to do with oil?
