 Some of you might have noticed your stock in BP, Exxon-Mobil, Chevron-Teaxaco, Conoco-Philips go down today. I know I didn't - but I did have to field any faxes from the French "Total" and Norwegian "Statoil". No bother - I just take the paper out of the machine. It's not a 100% nationalisation in the traditional marxist model, because Hugo isn't a traditional marxist. The oil companies who are presently operation in the river area will have to become mixed companies with the majority shareholder being PDVSA the Venezuelan oil entity. |

Q- for the author.....
Was there a stock market crash last week?
It is one of the thrills of the Trichotillomaniac - gambling buzz. You lose a bit. You rip at your hair. You worry about your pension fund. you nudge it a bit more. you win a bit more. And every Friday there are record trading levels around thirty five minutes past three of the clock reported on Wall Street. Accordingly it doesn't matter if the market slumps - the trichotillomaniacs always recover - there is always someone else to rip off - there is always more credit on the money tree.
Don't you have a money tree?
He was Mary Harney's Best friend.
He started the SSIA frenzy- timing it to coincide with elections.

Has anyone any idea what Mister Mc Creevy is doing now?
The Irish mass was encouraged to invest funds into equity and private pensions
in order to cash in on the global exploitation of the poor , by the finance minister
of a party who did not mind that some kids do not have shoes.
The speculation(property) and exploitation (globalisation) that we tut.tut at
on the tabloid telly is a result of this kind of investment opportunity.
Masses of Irish people invested in globalised equity cos they were afraid that they
would end up like the very poor- fear drives that market.
I am glad that they lost a grand on their speculation- better than a home or a limb,
given the MRSA an all.
Four oil projects are now nationalised and Chavez has left the IMF and World
Bank.
The details are in the London Independent (mainstream) and will be on here
later .

as of the last hour the group "reporters without borders" have added their names to the list of international condemnation of the latest decree by hugo chavez. Last night as Venezuela saw created a new pro-regime telly station one other was closed.
Here you may see a list of programs which were previously broadcast by the station which had for more than fifty years presented options to hola presidente! & who knows maybe run the whole series of Fawlty Towers . I doubt Ardal oHanlon has got dubbed into Venezuelan yet nor would go down well either as who wants to be taoiseach (caudillo) or his much better role in father Ted & craggy island .
Apologists ought be really quick to spin on this & if possible include it in their June or May editions of webcasts and papers.

I'd blog about this if I could. But I've a responsibility to protect the casual commentator who doesn't get the stakes. All Telly is Toxic. It's toxic to make (ask an asian), to dispose of (ask an african) and to watch. (ask your family) Changing one toxic set of telly makers for another is not in anyway a good thing. It will be MTV and Paris Hilton next and Ardal will never get a look-in down Orinoco way when you know we reform Colombia and bring happiness and ice cream to the masses (along with their oil and coca).
For it was written.
