The brown one Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Bushco/CIA blows it again: To the dismay of opposition groups in Venezuela, and to the surprise of international observers gathering in Caracas, President Hugo Ch?vez is about to secure a stunning victory on August 15, in a referendum designed to lead to his overthrow. Ch?vez has become the leader of the emerging opposition in Latin America to the neo-liberal hegemony of the United States. Closely allied to Fidel Castro, he rivals the Cuban leader in his fierce denunciations of George Bush, a strategy that goes down well with the great majority of the population of Latin America, where only the elites welcome the economic and political recipes devised in Washington.? While Ch?vez has retained his popularity after nearly six years as president, support for overtly pro-US leaders in Latin America, such as Vicente Fox in Mexico and Alejandro Toledo in Peru, has dwindled to nothing. Even the fence-sitting President Lula in Brazil is struggling in the polls. The news that Ch?vez will win this month's referendum will be bleakly received in Washington. Ch?vez shows 'em The runaway oil price makes Ch?vez VERY popular with his peeps. It just goes to show that Bushco can't keep all those plates spinning at the same time. Help Halliburton, lose Venezuela. What's a muscle-bound hegemon to do? Good luck to the guy.He deserves it. Anyone who can show this admin and its nefarious institutions and methods the finger and win must be one of the "good guys". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 A continuing saga of US hegemony in Geo-Economic and Geo-Political affairs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHY ARGENTINA CRASHED: AND IS STILL CRASHING U.S. and IMF demands played a large role in sparking the Argentine crisis. But domestic politics also played a part, and until recently there was no shortage of support within Argentina for many misguided policies.

machinehead Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 The fantasy of every megalomaniacal market strategist: Lolling around in his smoking jacket, puffing his pipe, Holmes would sit and ponder for hours on a tricky case. In one superb story, the opium-drenched The Man With The Twisted Lip, Holmes solves yet another case with ease. An incredulous Mr Plod character muses: "I wish I knew how you reach your results," to which Holmes replies: "I reached this one by sitting upon five pillows and consuming an ounce of shag."

brian4 Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Yo-Bob and Lucy-one way to secure the assets of your business is rather than putting money into your company as a shareholders loan. Put the money in as an interest bearing debenture and then register the debenture as a lien against the business. Assuming you haven't signed any personal guarantee's other than the bank loans it gives you first call against the assets and locks everyone else out. Even assuming you have to pay off the bank loans you have locked out all the suppliers and have a viable biz to sell or liquidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranciscoTheMan Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 A casual poll of my coworkers reveals that 100% of them expect a rally monday. Why? Because the market had a bad week and therefore will go up...... Maybe not...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 It's gonna be a classic theatrical moment on Tuesday at 2:15, when a pale, trembling Uncle Al, with a gun barrel held to his temple, is forced to choose between a Rock and a Hard Place. As Simon & Garfunkel used to sing in Mrs. Robinson, Laugh about it, shout about it When you have to choose Any way you look at it You lose Where have you gone, Charlie Ponzi, oh ... a nation turns its lonely eyes to you ... woo woo woo ...

Essentially a double-incorporation or holding company will do the same thing, will it not? The objective being limiting liability at the operating level AND personal level. The Hartford fire of 1944 during show time for Ringling Bros & B & B is a prime example......around the time John died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it surprising that when you have GWB publicly calling for the overthrow of your regime, and sending the CIA into your country to instigate trouble, someone would have a negative attitude towards the US?

machinehead Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 HB. That is not a negative attitude toward the US--just toward the present admin,its policies and the various agencies beholden to the perps-in-power! The U.S. embargo of Cuba has been a constant for forty years. By refusing to observe it, all of Latin America shows that they don't think it's a good idea. The Castro regime is deplorable, but Bush's latest provocations limiting travel to the island seem aimed more at people and families, not at the regime. Most troubling to me is the U.S.'s assertion that it can limit where you travel on your U.S. passport, declaring some parts of the globe "off limits." That's totally unfree -- exactly the sort of dictate a brutal tyrant like Castro would resort to ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
