The New World Trade Order
The Billings Gazette: “Thousands of low-income Massachusetts residents will receive discounted home heating oil this winter under an agreement signed Tuesday with Venezuela…”
The Boston Globe: “Venezuela's per capita income is $4,768. Massachusetts, the object of Chavez's largesse, has the nation's second-highest per capita income, $41,801. According to the World Bank, 49 percent of all Venezuelans lived in poverty in 2000 -- meaning they got by on household income of less than $2 a day. That's $2 a day, the price of a gallon of gasoline here. About 24 percent lived in extreme poverty -- or on less than $1 a day. The poverty numbers are up substantially from a decade ago.”
The Daily Standard: “A day after the September 11 terrorist attacks, President Chavez declared that "The United States brought the attacks upon itself, for their arrogant imperialist foreign policy." Chavez also described the U.S. military response to bin Laden as "terrorism," claiming that he saw no difference between the invasion of Afghanistan and the September 11 terrorist attacks. While the United States considers Saddam Hussein a threat to world peace, Chavez has hailed Saddam as his "brother" and business "partner."
