Venezuela's Chavez spreading socialism with oil

Venezuela's Chavez spreading socialism with oil...

"My child and My children, you must listen well, as I say this also unto you: Latin America shall be a hotbed of fighting, and the United States shall be the prime candidate to enter and have their sons slaughtered upon the lands there. I beg you, as your Mother, to listen to Me. You must not go into Latin America! That is what the plan from Russia is: for you to enter into Latin America." - Our Lady of the Roses, March 18, 1989

Newsmax reported on November 17, 2005:

While Cuban leader Fidel Castro tried to export his revolution throughout Latin America in the 1960s with AK-47s, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is fighting to expand his "21st-century socialist" with oil barrels.

Flush with huge profits from high petroleum prices, Chavez has offered cheap crude and refineries to neighbors, bought up some of their bonds and offered cash aid for development programs in a bid to unify the region around his ideology.

"I think that we Caribbean and Latin Americans need to think about, when the North American empire crashes, what comes next for us," a confident Chavez told delegates from the Caribbean during the October launch of PetroCaribe, an arrangement to send Venezuelan oil to those nations.

Chavez may be underestimating the future of the "empire," and not everyone seems to be signing on to his revolution. Colombian President Alvaro Uribe and Mexican President Vicente Fox - who recalled his ambassador from Venezuela this week in response to Chavez recalling his own ambassador to Mexico after the two exchanged words about economic policy during this month's Summit of the Americas - seem to be emerging as the United States' strongest allies.

How much sway Chavez gains and maintains with the countries that receive his largesse will also depend on his own staying power at home, the future price of oil and U.S policies.

But that has not stopped the Venezuelan president from offering his help around the region while pushing to revive the dream of his hero Simon Bolivar, the 19th-century soldier who led a region from Peru to Venezuela to independence from Spain but then failed in his efforts to keep it unified as one nation.

"We are prepared to go little by little towards integration, a union so that we are stronger, and to march forward, as Bolivar says, towards the prosperity of our people," Chavez told the leaders of the Caribbean.

His efforts to export his ideology recall Castro's campaigns, Chavez' political mentor, to export his revolution with armed groups to Latin America in the 1960s and 70s. But while unconfirmed Ecuadoran intelligence reports have alleged that 20 Latin Americans received guerrilla training in Venezuela earlier this year, Chavez is more openly using his oil wealth to win influence over the region.

PetroCaribe, a pact between Venezuela and 14 Caribbean nations, will provide cheap financing for oil purchases, to be repaid over 25 years. Venezuela also pledged $50 million for social programs in the Caribbean similar to the literacy and health programs that Chavez has launched in his own country.

In addition, Chavez is pushing forward PetroAmerica, a Latin America-wide arrangement that could include swapping human resources like doctors for natural resources like oil and natural gas. As part of the deal, the Venezuelan leader says he'll invest $2 billion to expand refining capacity in Jamaica, Cuba and Uruguay, and has spoken of joint ventures to build refineries in Brazil and Ecuador.

PetroSur - which involves Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Venezuela - and PetroAndina - with Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Venezuela - are both in motion to round off the PetroAmerica family, but they are not yet as clearly defined as PetroCaribe.

Chavez also is seeking agreements between nations, most of them involving oil or oil money - deals to buy bonds and petroleum loans, for example - and even attempts to forge accords with like-minded municipal leaders. In Nicaragua, for example, the man who has vowed to establish "21st-century socialism" in Venezuela has proposed oil sales at below-market prices to an association of mayors controlled by the leftist Sandinistas.

"What Chavez is doing is no different than what John Kennedy tried to do in the 1960s and what the U.S. Agency for International Development does all the time: He's trying to buy influence," said Larry Birns, director of the Council on Hemispheric Affairs, a Washington think tank often critical of U.S. policy on Latin America.

Chavez's plans for regional unity around his side of the political spectrum is running headlong into the Bush administration's conservative policies. U.S. officials have branded the Venezuelan president a destabilizing influence in the region, but he remains popular with many of its residents.

"What has happened is that the Bush administration is on a major offensive to discredit Chavez," Birns added. "But it's the Bush administration policy, not Chavez, that really is isolated."

Chavez has fought back and regularly chastises the United States as "imperialist," but some critics see his designs as similarly ambitious. "What he accuses the United States of doing is what he wants to do. I think he's an empire builder," said Stephen Johnson, an analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation.

Chavez's search for regional influence already has had some impact, with U.S. officials privately complaining that his warm relations with the 14 Caribbean countries swayed some of their votes in the 34-member Organization of American States.

The Caribbean members, for example, joined Chavez in opposing the U.S.-backed conservative candidate for the post of OAS secretary-general, former Salvadoran President Francisco Flores. Flores eventually withdrew and Chile's Jose Miguel Insulza, a moderate socialist, was elected.

"What he's doing is castrating the OAS," said retired U.S. Ambasssador Myles Frechette, a Latin American specialist now in private consulting. "That's his objective. And it's going to happen. You can count on it."

But Frechette and other analysts say it may not be so easy for Chavez to maintain his new alliances, especially if a drop in prices hurt his foreign assistance efforts and perhaps even his chances of holding power at home.

What's more, Frechette says that Chavez, with his aggressive anti-Americanism and still undetailed brand of socialism, may not be as appealing to his neighbors as the Venezuelan president believes - and some U.S. government officials fear.

"The countries are using Chavez to criticize the United States. It's a way of expressing their annoyance and disappointment with the United States," Frechette said.

Our Lady of the Roses awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

RUSSIA IS THE SECRET AGENT...
"The cost of life means nothing to them, as you can recognize in all of the countries around your world that have been invaded by Russia, or Russia is the secret agent giving over the firearms and the destructive missiles to destroy the United States and Canada." - Our Lady, September 14, 1985

GREAT THREAT
"My child and My children, there is one thing I wish to bring to you this evening: that is the word of Russia. You do not understand the great threat she is to the world. I say 'she' because We have nothing else that exemplative of explaining the necessity to convert Russia. Now My Mother in the past has told you through countless earth-years of visits upon earth how to do this. I repeat from My Mother Her words to the world some time ago-and I believe, My child, you have been a voice-box before and a means for Heaven to transport this message to the world-that is, that the Holy Father in Rome, in unison with all of the bishops of the world, must consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of My Mother." - Jesus, March 18, 1989

ELIMINATION OF NATIONS
"Sin is insanity, and this insanity shall set in motion the elimination of many nations upon your earth. My Mother has cried in the past for you to pray and do penance, or Russia would send her errors throughout the world." - Jesus, May 13, 1978

ENSLAVEMENT
"My Mother came to you at Fatima warning that unless man stopped his path to perdition, Russia would spread her errors throughout your world causing misery, sufferings, and death and enslavement. My children, you did not listen and act upon Her counsel then, just as many now do not listen and act upon Her counsel. It is a part of human nature to exercise too free a will to reject. And this, I say, falls also onto My pastors who are scattering My sheep in My House." - Jesus, May 27, 1978

ONE THING IN MIND
"Now, My child, I ask for the good of all humanity, that they approach Pope [John] Paul by letter, by ear, by mail- any way possible, by human means and supernatural means of prayer, to turn back from the present course of appeasement with Russia. For Russia has one thing in mind: that is to take over the United States, Canada, and all nations of the world.
"My child, you can well understand that they have been doing well lately. That is because, though We cry for prayers, atonement, and sacrifice, and the First Saturdays-which I've asked of you since Fatima-they have not been acceded to." - Our Lady, June 18, 1987

RUSSIA NOT CONVERTED
"This will tell you, My child and My children, that the major Chastisement shall be a Third World War, which is in the planning now. Russia has not been converted. And why? Because the Message I gave many years ago to the little children, and to those who had the heart to seek for the truth, I told them that unless they prayed the Rosary and wore their brown Scapulars, death shall be a place among the living: death such as no man could perceive in his human mind, to see the destruction of missiles and other contemptible, technological implements, made strictly from the knowledge of satan.
"In the Church, My child, cry with Me. My tears fall upon you and your children, and all of the children of the world, because of the fact that many shall die in the great flames of the Ball of Redemption; and also, the technological weapons of the enemy, Russia. All of these munitions are being sent throughout the world. They are building up armaments beyond what man could conceive. This you must know because only you, My children, who hear My words and act upon them, shall be saved." - Our Lady, July 1, 1985

COMMUNISM: LIARS, MURDERS, DECEIVERS
"O My children, how I wanted to caress you and tell you good news, for I am not the bearer of bad news always. I am your Mother and must tell you the truth. I repeat again. My child Veronica, you repeat now in your weakened state, again: the Pope, John Paul II, and all the bishops of the world must allot one day on which they will pray for the conversion of Russia. Not one day for the world, but one day for Russia; or else, I tell you now, Russia will go about and annihilate, destroy many countries. Nations shall disappear from the face of the earth in the twinkling of an eye. That is how desperate the situation is now throughout your world, My children.
"The word of Russia is not good, for what communism means is liars, and murderers, deceivers straight from the bowels of hell." - Our Lady, October 2, 1987

"My children, My little humble children, I appeal to you as your Mother, go forward on foot, knock on the doors; bring the light to your brothers and sisters. For those who have been given great grace, much is expected of them." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 26, 1976
