    I hope they don't allow America put a puppet to rule them, they should follow their hearts. Condolence to the people of Venezuela and his family; he was only human as well.

      Why must he died in office like a typical African leaders when he are knew quite well that his health are not good enough. He supposed to has step down very long before now.
      May God grants them the fortitude to beer the very great lost.

    America killed him, infected him with cancer just like they did to the rest of em. All in the name of world domination, they keep fighting wars b'cos they make fortune out of it. They suck africa dry of its natural resources and keep on downgrading/ tarnishing our image. They destroyed our history and wrote a new one for us, one filled with lies, mental slavery, and low self-esteem. They encourage union of races when its time to recruit soldiers for war but yet they encourage racism back at home. Remember scramble for africa? Yeah where the so called "world power" shared african regions among themselves. They still are in control of these region. The royal company "shell" has its officials in every top sector of the nigerian constitution, they spy into the countries affair and run it at the same time. George bush's family and osama bin laden's family were business partner, they had an oil company together. There was nothing like al-qaeda, the soldiers where chasing ghost. America blew up the twin not terrorist, the did it to invade the accused regions for there opium and oil, also to steal away peoples freedom all in preparation of a coming event. Enough said, emanticipate yourselves from mental slavery
