The next time you fill up at CITGO.....

or watch a Sean Penn film, or a Danny Glover movie....
Remember this:
Judge Monica Fernandez, a Venezuelan human rights advocate, was shot on January 4 in what police ruled a botched car robbery. The night before the attack, she was branded an enemy of the state, a coup-plotter, and a fascist on a state television show which condemns those who dare to oppose the government’s actions. Coincidence? Thor Halvorssen doesn’t think so.

And this:
The Forward reports on anti-Jewish harassment by Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, a quarter of whose Jewish population has fled the country since his election. 'Target the Jews' has got to be a whole chapter in the 'Dictatorship for Dummies' handbook.
