HAVANA (CUBAN NEWS AGENCY-ACN)

Socialism is the only way to thwart barbarism and bring the humankind to a turning point in its fateful history, said Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in London, Sunday, May 14. Chavez spoke during an encounter with British personalities and groups who support the Venezuelan government. The meeting was held in the Camden Center in North London, reported Prensa Latina news agency.

“Let’s take on socialism; let’s debate it and build it. I believe that its mistakes were in the economic analysis, there should be social praxis, and 21st century socialism should be based on solid human values,” he stressed. “We are facing the threat of global challenges stemming from the genocidal, immoral, sick, and corrupt elite currently governing the United States, which appear to have no limits,” he added.

The Venezuelan president warned about Washington’s threats against Iran and he said that if that aggression materializes, oil prices could reach 100 dollars a barrel. “The outcome of such aggression is unknown, but the Empire is going to find itself inPa worse position than the one they have currently in Iraq, where they do not know what to do with the civil war that has erupted there and can’t find a way out,” he noted.

Chavez called US President George W. Bush a murderer, guilty of genocide, who supposedly fights terrorism, while his country is a sanctuary of terrorists.

Venezuela Weighs Selling U.S. Jets to Iran

CARACAS, Venezuela (BREITBART-AP)

Venezuela is considering selling its fleet of U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets to another country, perhaps Iran, in response to a U.S. ban on arms sales to President Hugo Chavez’s government, a military official said Tuesday.

Gen. Alberto Muller, a senior adviser to Chavez, told The Associated Press he had recommended to the defense minister that Venezuela consider selling the 21 jets to another country.

Muller said he thought it was worthwhile to consider “the feasibility of a negotiation with Iran for the sale of those planes.” Even before the U.S. announced the ban on arms sales Monday, Washington had stopped selling Venezuela sensitive upgrades for the F- 16s.

Chavez has previously warned he could share the U.S. jets with Cuba if Washington does not supply parts for the planes. He also has said he may look into buying fighter jets from Russia or China instead.

Venezuela’s Chavez to visit Libya

TRIPOLI, Libya (CNN-Reuters)

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, whose socialist course has won him few friends in Washington, will visit Tripoli on Tuesday for talks with the Libyan leader who once bore the brunt of U.S. disapproval.

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has in recent years toned down his fiery anti-American rhetoric and opened Libya’s industry to Western investment. The U.S. announced Monday that it plans to restore normal diplomatic relations with Libya. Libya, like Venezuela, is a major oil producer.

Chavez, a self-styled socialist revolutionary, has led a campaign to tighten state control over the energy sector. Libyan officials said Chavez would arrive in Tripoli after a visit to Algeria, a close ally and fellow OPEC member. Chavez will meet with Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika on Tuesday morning before heading to Libya, they said.

Analysts said the Libyan talks were likely to focus on energy industry knowledge sharing but that, with oil producers pumping as much as they can and oil prices near records, collaboration on output quotas was unlikely to top the agenda.

My Lover, The Great Dictator
The ex-mistress of Venezuela’s dictator, Hugo Chavez, has a word of caution about her former lover—beware!

LONDON (TIMES-UK)

Speaking fondly of the would-be Fidel Castro clone and darling of the Hollywood liberal community as a tender lover, Herma Marksman, Chavez’s mistress for 10 years, also told the Times of London that Chavez is dangerous and not to be trusted.

“I keep the best memories of him close to me,” Marksman told the Times. “He’s the kind of man that showers you with flowers and chocolates, serenades you with romantic songs and never forgets your birthday. People say he is a violent man, but he never raised a hand or his voice to me.”

Marksman has a different opinion of Chavez as Venezuela’s president, however. “Now you can’t trust him,” she said during what the Times called her first interview with any foreign media. “He is imposing a fascist dictatorship. A totalitarian regime is coming because he doesn’t believe in democratic institutions. Hugo controls all the powers.”

Described by the Times as anything but “an angry ex-bimbo” determined to denigrate a man who dumped her, the 50ish professor of history has written two books about Chavez’s politics. During the interview with the Times, she called Chavez “sweet” and “kind” as a lover. But as a president, she added, “he’s the caudillo (strongman) you have to say yes to. At the rate he’s going, his end can only be violent.”

For almost a decade in the 1980s and 1990s, Marksman recalls encouraging her lover, then an army officer who used her home to plot a coup against Venezuela’s civilian government. The couple shared a dream, she said, of “a prosperous Venezuela where justice would reign.” That dream, for her at least, is shattered. “Now you can’t trust him,” she told the newspaper.

Emerging as a champion of the Venezuelan underclass, he was surrounded by adoring women. The Times reported that he split with both his wife and his mistress; later a second marriage also ended in separation. He once disclosed his far leftist political beliefs when he told Castro “Capitalism leads us straight to hell, Fidel, I think you were always right: it’s socialism or death”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
