There is evidence that modern hard-line socialists in Latin America endeavor to portray moderate postures in order to legally secure the necessary power in order to be poised to launch a legitimate, peaceful revolution from within the presidency of his/her country, as substantiated by a relatively well-known Univision broadcast in 1998. During this controversial interview, wearing a business suit, Mr. Hugo Chavez amiably reassured the audience that he would never endeavor to remain in power after his first five-year term, implying respect for his country’s democratic institutions, stressing that his decision to become a presidential candidate was based upon the sole objective of “proposing a constitutional reform” in order to address specific outstanding issues of the time; concluding that he would then be “more than happy” to leave office after the first term or “even earlier”. Likewise, calmly answering the reporter’s question, he reaffirmed that he saw no need for nationalization of the mass media, since the sole existing state channel of the time was more than sufficient. Maintaining the bearings of a “moderate candidate from the Left,” after confirming that there was no intention of nationalizing anything whatsoever, the deceptive Hugo Chavez successfully conveyed the illusion of a rational, dependable and judicious presidential candidate who had overcome the former proclivities of the young officer who had once failed to trigger a military coup d’état.

In October 2010, the Brazilian people is being asked by the Labor Party (PT) to elect their “recently enhanced”, more attractive presidential candidate, Ms. Dilma Rouseff who frequently goes out of her way to imply respect for Brazil’s democratic institutions and respect for the opposition parties. Interestingly, there is no question that Ms Rousseff is often praised and blatantly supported by the Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, who often goes out of his way to demonstrate his enormous admiration for a woman he considers a “South American Patriot” (thus implying a patriotism for the future South American Socialist Nation sponsored by the Sao Paulo Forum). In this connection, it should be stressed that the Venezuelan Ruler greatly admires Dilma’s “valiant” participation in the kidnapping of an American ambassador to Brazil during the time when the country was being governed by a Military Regime. While the PT candidate attempts to conceal or minimize her former status of “subversive” or “domestic terrorist”, given her direct unquestionable engagement in kidnappings, assassinations, and bank robberies, the former criminal also makes concerted effort to disguise her growing friendship with the Totalitarian regime in Caracas, even if confronted about such liaison by the Brazilian media in national television

Hence, it is appalling to witness my country from afar providing a convicted murderer & kidnapper who sponsors or defends pending legislation that includes disguised versions of censorship and maintains excellent relations with the most brutal socialist dictators of Latin America, with the opportunity to become the leader of the nation. Unfortunately, I must question the ability of the naïve members of the Brazilian working class to pay attention or understand the magnitude of her crimes vis-à-vis the true face of the political party Ms Rousseff represents, notwithstanding its boundless corruption, shameless deception and obvious socialist goals. Under the circumstances, I must regrettably wrap up my assessment with the most disagreeable conclusion that unless something extraordinary emerges to unmask these horrifying hypocritical monsters, our wonderful, peaceful and happy country will join the growing list of doomed nations where oppression, censorship and fear abounds…
