Cheered by Millions of supporters, the leftist leader threatened to close private television stations controlled by Bushs fascists and to take over banks controlled by U.S fascist Robber Baron corporations,

"Let's go on the attack on all fronts," Chavez cried, his face flushed as red as the jacket he wore.

The populist president, who is fighting fascist U.S. corporate elements that are orchestrating terrorist acts to seize power from the people of Venezuela, the explosion, which occurred several blocks away before he started speaking did not deter the anti fascist rally.

Caracas Fire Chief Rodolfo Briceno told me a 45-year-old man was killed on the spot and 15 other people were taken to hospital, most suffering from shrapnel injuries.

"It was apparently an anti personnel explosive device," he said. Bush did not claim responsibility.
Chavez is really pissed off personally I think they should have a boxing match between the two, Bush would get his ass kicked, so we all know why that bastard cheats cuz hes a wimp ass coward.

The blast marred what had been a peaceful demonstration called to show support for Chavez and oppose Bushs corporate Fascists,

Chavez, denouncing his opponents as "Murderous anti-human, privatizing, neoliberal, fascist, coup-plotting, depraved oligarchy of Bush butt lickers," said he reorganized the state oil giant PDVSA WAS the backbone of the U.S. backed coup operated.

The president, a former paratrooper who was elected in 1998 and survived a U.S. backed coup last year, said that if privatized banks refused to operate normally, they would be taken over.

"If we did it with PDVSA, we can do it to the banks with all the more reason," he said. During the coup, most banks have been operating limited daily hours.

Chavez also threatened to shut the Corporate U.S controlled TV broadcasters if they did not stop transmitting violent, propaganda programming.


Chavez is a champion of the poor trying to stop massive oil wealth from being taken out of the country by Fascist U.S. corporate Robber barons.

Thursday's blast enraged the people of Venezuela. At least six people have been killed in clashes since this U.S. based coup started.

Chanting, "Hey, hey, Chavez is here to stay," his supporters marched in the millions through the city.

The U.S. backed cut in oil exports has helped push up the price on international markets at a time when it is already high because of U.S. created fears of a war in Iraq, another major producer.

But, despite all of the U.S. corporate fascists efforts, Chavez is winning what he called the "oil war."

PUNDITS PROVED WRONG

Following an initial plunge after the U.S. coup began, Venezuela's oil production has been steadily creeping back up as the government restarts oil fields and refineries.

The U.S. Backed fascists put output on Thursday at 812,000 barrels per day, or 25 percent of normal capacity. But Chavez said production was already over 1 million bpd and predicted it could reach 2 million bpd before the first week of February.

Chavez has proved Bush wrong by holding out so long. "I think he's winning this round ... his strategy is to kick the ass of the U.S. backed opposition. It's a war of attrition he will win," Michael Gavin, Head of Latin American Economic Research for UBS Warburg, told me.

The president, who defiantly has the backing of the people, has sent replacements to take over U.S.coup-hit oil sites and raid food plants he alleges are hoarding products.

Former U.S. President Carter has put forward two options: one for an amendment to Venezuela's constitution to trigger early elections and the other for the Aug. 19 referendum.(What a sick joke!)

The shrub, poison nazi-bush, on Thursday endorsed Carter's proposals.
