*Chavez To Take Total Control: Where Is USA?*

[Contumacious]

But I fail to see why Dr Milton Friedman was brought into the fray.

He directly trained the men who carried out the atrocities. Can't you read?

"The Chicago boys were a group of 30 Chileans who had studied economics at the University of Chicago between 1955 and 1963. During the course of their postgraduate studies they had become disciples of Milton Friedman, and had returned to Chile completely indoctrinated in free market theory. By the end of 1974, they had risen to positions of power in the Pinochet regime, controlling most of its offices for economic planning."

I can , can you?

Please show me the link connecting Milton with Pinochet.



And that's significant because ....?

Was Hitler ELECTED to power?!?!?

.

this was hard to dig up, I had to cut and paste the words "Milton and Pinoche" from your post and use that as my google search term:

Google

Excuse me Vernon. Try not to be dense.

Milton was an ECONOMIST so he advised Pinochet about free market policies.

He had NOTHING to do with the Chilean military's arbitrary arrests, torture, and execution of Chilean citizens as part of Pinochet's “war on communism,” '

.

Friedman's influence in Chile is grossly distorted.

Klein cites the influence of Milton Friedman’s economic views on Augusto Pinochet’s military dictatorship in Chile in the 1970s as evidence that free markets rely on tyranny and torture. She writes that Friedman acted as “adviser to the Chilean dictator.” This is wrong. Friedman never worked as an adviser and never accepted a penny from the Chilean regime. He even turned down two honorary degrees from Chilean universities that received government funding because he thought it could be interpreted as a support for the regime.

However, he was in Chile for six days in March 1975 to give public lectures, invited by a private foundation. When he was there he also met once with Pinochet for around 45 minutes, and wrote him one letter afterwards, arguing for a plan to end hyperinflation and liberalize the economy. That was the same kind of advice Friedman gave to communist dictatorships like the Soviet Union, China, and Yugoslavia, yet nobody would claim he was a communist. ...

Can you provide a link or any evidence implicating the economists he trained partaking in the murder of civilians?

Here is what Friedman wrote in 1975

I approve of none of these authoritarian regimes—neither the Communist regimes of Russia and Yugoslavia nor the military juntas of Chile and Brazil. . . . I do not regard visiting any of themas an endorsement. . . . I do not regard giving advice on economic policy as immoral if the conditions seem to me to be such that economic improvement would contribute both to the well-being of the ordinary people and to the chance of movement toward a politically free society...

Sorry bout that,





We've tried interfering in the affairs of Latin American nations before, remember Iran-Contra? Let the banana republics be. Our biggest threat right now by far is North Korea. Plus drug trafficking is a primary tool used by Latin American socialist/fascist types. You really want to hurt Chavez, secure the border and decriminalize drugs.[/QUOTE]




1. We are losing all our interests in that nation.
2. Also we can be looking at having another screwed up Cuba.
3. Which will hurt other nations in South America.
4. All and all I don't think we can give up on them.

SOrry bout that,

The real problem here is the takeover the US government by the Republican leadership.

They've started two wars.

They've ruined the economy.

The average number of millionaires in Republican districts is 1.7%, yet all of our tax plan, all of our focus is on helping them "get more".

Hugo Chavez owns an American company, "Citgo". Because of the conservative Supreme Court, he is now able to pour as much money as he wants into US elections. Who is he more likely to support, the party that sent millions of jobs to China or the party that is for the American "Middle Class"?

We all know the Republicans can be "bought". Chavez has lots of money.

1. At some point a certain section of thier society will revolt.
2. And when that starts to take place, the *Iron Fist* will indeeed come out.
3. There is really no other play Chavez will have in his hand of cards.

^^This HuffPo. silliness aside.^^

This issue IS of importance to the nation, and to me personally. As I've said before, Latino Hitler wannabe Chavez is clearly our biggest security threat in this hemisphere. He's even now tryna become a proxy for Iranian missles.

That pig continues to threaten my ancestral homeland of Colombia by aiding FARC rebels, etc.

He needs to go, Venezuela needs to be liberated.

1. Yeah he needs to be toppled, and fast, he's bad news for all S.America.
2. Something needs to be done, and unless we are willing to do it, it more than likely won't get done.
3. He is taking over ever asset in the nation.
4. Breaking all sorts of international law.
5. Where is the UN?
6. The UN approves because its a muslims shit house.

I'm curious. Are you talking about Chavez or the Republicans.

Chavez owns Citgo with revenues of 41 Billion last year.

Citgo is an American company. That means Chavez can potentially and legally sink 41 billion into American elections.

Chesswars, you need to start reading. And by that I don't mean posts on this site, except mine of course. You're incredibly naive. You could start by studying U.S. foreign policy in Latin America starting in the mid 19th century for example.
