The Shadow Knows

He’s back home in Venezuela ... and he hasn’t stopped babbling yet. I certainly hope Jimmy Carter, Danny Glover, Harry Belafonte and Cindy Sheehan are real proud of their little buddy. It’s funny, but I haven’t heard a word out of any of them in the last few days. Have they finally realized their South American friend is a certified loon? I doubt it - because then they would have to admit that they are just as insane themselves for befriending this crackpot.

Chavez Says President Bush Should Resign
_{CARACAS, Venezuela - September 23, 2006, 1:45 AM EDT}

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez launched yet another verbal assault against President Bush upon returning from a highly charged U.S. visit Friday, calling on the American leader to resign. “He should renounce the presidency if he has any dignity. The president of the United States has failed completely,” Chavez said at the inauguration of a natural gas project in northwestern Venezuela.

It was Chavez’s first appearance since returning from the United States, where he called Bush “the devil” at the United Nations’ General Assembly and later criticized him in a speech to supporters at a church in Harlem. “The imperialist government of the United States says we have failed but they are the ones that have failed in everything you see,” he said Friday.

He accused the Bush administration of fueling terrorism, claimed that both the CIA and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration were “infiltrated” by drug traffickers, and urged people to divest their dollars because new bills were being “fabricated.” In an interview broadcast Friday Chavez kept up his attack.

“I think it was a rather humorous speech,” Chavez told TV and radio host Tavis Smiley in a PBS broadcast. “People were smiling.” But then added, “(Bush) considers himself a god. And that is a terrible manipulation, since this is obeying interests that are against God. And since he considers himself like God, when you call him the devil, it is just to strike a balance.”

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.
