UPDATED Gaddafi On Way To Venezuela? (No)

February 21, 2011 - The BBC is seems to have put to rest the rumors about the Libyan dictator fleeing to Venezuela. BBC News Africa reports late today that Moammar Gaddafi appeared "on state television" to deny the rumors of his departure. According to BBC, Gaddafi spoke on TV "from outside a ruined building," and said, "I am in Tripoli and not in Venezuela." CNN has posted a video of Gaddafi's television statement. Rumors flew today that Gaddafi was on his way to Venezuela. Deutsche Presse Agentur reported that, for example, according to Newsmax.com. There was much confusion about this. Other news sources, such as Rianovosti, said that rumors of Gaddafi fleeing to Venezuela "were dismissed by Venezuelan diplomats and Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister Khalid Kayem." Perhaps Venezuela feels that they already have one too many crazy dictators. But... The Express (UK) reported that "Gaddafi was believed to be on the run last night after fresh bloodshed and violence across Libya." The article goes on to say that he "is believed to have travelled first to his desert hometown before seeking a flight out of the country, possibly to Venezuela. News of his apparent departure came from British Foreign Secretary William Hague who said he had seen information to suggest Gaddafi was on his way" to Venezuela. One thing seems certain: Libya is headed for civil war and Gaddafi's too-long reign is over.

Obama Has Bush "Stench": Hugo Chavez:

Gee, what will progressive nutjob Cindy Sheehan say about this? Or actor-appeaser Danny Glover? Sheehan and Glover, boot lickers of Venezuela's tyrannical leader Hugo Chavez, will have to choose between Barack Obama and their buddy the dictator. Obama has let it be known that he is not happy with the way Chavez disrespects democracy in Venezuela. Well, neither to Sheehan, Glover or a parcel of other Liberals. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Saturday Barack Obama had the "stench" of his predecessor as U.S. president and was at risk of being killed if he tries to change the American "empire." To best illustrate how sick the socialist mind truly is, you need to hear it straight from their own mouths. Chavez demonstrates the collective mental illness with this: "I hope I am wrong, but I believe Obama brings the same stench, to not say another word," Chavez said at a political rally on a historic Venezuelan battlefield. "If Obama as president of the United States does not obey the orders of the empire, they will kill him, like they killed Kennedy, like they killed Martin Luther King, or Lincoln, who freed the blacks and paid with his life." Full Report from Reuters... That's how Hugo Chavez thinks. It's how Cindy Sheehan thinks. It's how some of your neighbors "think."

Chavez, Loser

Hitler won in a similar bid for power. Hugo Chavez, thank God, lost his attempt to become President for Life of Venezuela. Chavez loses "president-for-life" vote CARACAS (Reuters) - President Hugo Chavez crashed to an unprecedented vote defeat on Monday as Venezuelans narrowly rejected his bid to run for re-election indefinitely and accelerate his socialist revolution in the OPEC nation.

Venezuelan Man Hunt in the U.S.?

Maybe. I spotted this weird poster taped to a light pole in Chicago's downtown, near Dearborn and Adams on Friday, Sept. 28. If you've seen this guy, you're urged to contact the Venezuelan consulate near you. Jose Gregorio was last seen in Ohio "with two Russian females." Hmmm.

There's something weird and intriguing about this poster.

Most "missing person" posters that are put up by friends or family offer a reward, or urge you to call the police or FBI.

Few "missing person" posters - at least the ones you see in Chicago - involve a guy who is apparently a Venezuelan national who was last seen at an amusement park with two Russian women.

Few "missing person" posters urge us to contact the Venezuelan consulate.

Questions arise: Is this a poster from the Venezuelan consulate? Who, exactly, is trying to find this guy? Note that the poster does not actually say that he is missing. The party that made this poster simply asks us if we've seen this guy. Why? And if he is missing person, do the FBI and local authorities in Ohio know about it? Let's hope this guy - and those two Russian females - are okay. Let's also hope that this not some weird Venezuelan manhunt in the U.S.
