History and The real Simon Bolivar versus all socialist’s and Hugo Chavez’s version
In mimicry of the history of many of South America’s indigenous people whose leaders claimed ideological and for the most part spiritual powers based on their own revisionist lies about actual historical figures within their particular civilizations, Hugo Chavez has claimed to have ideological and spiritual roots in Simon Bolivar, a hero for most South Americans. He calls his ideology “Bolivarian“.
Simon Bolivar was a leader who fought against the last vestiges of Spanish colonialism in Venezuela, Columbia and Bolivia.
But Bolivar has been twisted into a socialistista and literal communist by Chavez in order to portray, like the ancient Mayan and Aztec leaders, a lineage of power from a hero of the people in order to borrow off his popularity. Chavez controls the press for the most part and threatens or suppresses those who speak truth. It has worked to some extent to keep him in power. He borrows from those he can to give gifts to the people as an economic “savior” and thus he wins favor ..until they need some more money. ..Much like the freemasons have done in the United States with Franklin, Washington and the rest: the Republican and Democratic parties are simply the same party that divides the people along what is, for the most part, nonsensical lines with intricate arguments over literally no substance while constantly referring to the values of what they wish to portray as “heroes of the people” in a constant lie of free will projected backwards in history as revisionism. They then say they have an ideological kinship with such “heroes”, publicly honor them when they may and carry on as if they have some familial connection via the supposed spiritual lineage the political seems to convey upon them.
Venezuela is a good crucible to watch; the leap from Spanish to English is actually a zoom lens as it makes those not fluent in Spanish ( like myself ) slow down to read the truth rather than just consume words on the run for their emotional content as a snack. If nothing else you can cut and paste paragraphs or whole web pages into Babel fish. Firefox has some great tools that are plug-ins for learning new languages.
Chavez is a classic case of revisionism that is also running rampant in American politics. All dictators basically use the same bag of tricks..
Parallels between Chavez and Bush ( and McCain and Obama no matter who wins) :
Both just gave “the people” lots of money via bailout/influxes of cash
Both use historical figures and twist those figures to pretend those figures would approve and be a whole hearted cabinet member of their administration.
Both are fixated on prolonging war or “stopping” war, not winning war; war is good for distraction.; “stopping war” has that emotional edge for a moment until you realize what you lost.. and THAT you actually lost..
Both just made nuclear deals with an ally ( Chavez with Russia, Bush with India )
Both are emotional manipulators: Chavez gave away heating oil to the northern states in the US at below market costs to win favor: to buy favor; Bush is now giving away ‘credit’ to big business in the guise of saving Mom and Pop mortgages as a populist move for the Republican party. Just think how long and varied the arguments can be over who gets the credit (Republicans or Democrats ) in appropriately named verbosities set up for the purpose : The Show, the Buzz; Talk Soup, What?!, etc..
Both are not Nationalists; they are Regionialists. each does not see the sovereignty of their own nations as anything sacrosanct: an influx of their neighbors citizens for whatever political advantage may be had on the moment is no big deal and no-borders is better for expansionism than borders. Any resulting costs, crime or chaos works for the regime; it puts the people into debt, keeps them busy with other things than getting rid of their present government, works to perpetuate the population control agenda by outright killing some of them in the ensuing confrontations and sets up situation after situation wherein each leader/party can be cast as a wise mediator and thus populist hero ..just like the supposed days of yore.
Both publicly declare to be Christians; yet are deceived that what they believe in is self-chosen AND a gift of “the gods”
For a good Spanish language blog on the real Simon Bolivar and his distinction from Chavez, check out : Rescatando a Simón Bolívar.
“…políticos inescrupulosos ..” on the one hand and “con una miopía extraordinaria..” on the other. Brother, you said a mouthful there ..within the lie of free will. Spanish is good that way in places.
For an English language study on the absolute distinctions between the Republicans and Democrats and historical persons of true character who will actually be in heaven when you get there, check out any textbook on American history written before ..say, 1960 and ignore the money-controlled press.
BTW: Chavez is now “predicting” the US will embrace socialism. Per the standard lies about the supposed benefits of socialism, plainly shown to be lies by millions of rotting corpses, Chavez reasons the US will be socialist “because capitalism favors a wealthy minority and leaves the majority in poverty.”
Socialism just kills the poor.
No poor. No poverty. Right?

God Says He makes history repeat itself.
Ecc 3:15 That which is was long ago, and that which is to be hath already been; and God bringeth back again that which is past.
But the past God brings back is the real past. It is not the revisionist past; it is not the lies of politically motivated historians or dictators who need ideological saints for the people to worship. Every time He brings back the real history, all the deceived people are certain no one in history has ever experienced what they are going through because they know –their best honesty is — that they were doing history already and a history that “worked for the fathers”. So when God “brings back” history, they thought it was them and He had brought them back in perfect alignment with the Good fathers of the past. The real history that God bringeth back again is always a shocker for such people. That’s part of what is brought back: the sudden enlightenment in God’s wrath that you were wrong and its too late.
Those in Jesus Christ call such things justice because it is God’s doing. Historians tend to call it catastrophe.
Ecc 3:16,17 And moreover I saw under the sun, that in the place of judgment, wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, wickedness was there. I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
Psalm 50:16-23 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth, Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee? When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers; Thou lettest thy mouth loose to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit; Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother, thou revilest thine own mother’s son: These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. Now consider this, ye that forget +God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be no deliverer. Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth his way will I shew the salvation of God.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Am I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it. 2 Kings 18:25
Anti-Christ tried the lie that God had sent him to conqueor Jerusalem through the Assyrians. But God says to the worshipers of demons who hate Jesus Christ and Israel: "But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy raging against me." 2 Kings 19:27
