Protestors waving Venezuela's red, blue and yellow flag, held signs saying "Against Yankee intervention: Bush get out of here!" and "Venezuela is to be respected."

Chavez, a former paratrooper colonel, was briefly ousted in a civilian-military coup in April 2002, and survived a lengthy general strike in late 2002 and early 2003.

Chavez's political opponents say the paramilitary plot is fiction designed as an excuse to arrest opposition leaders and thwart a possible recall referendum.

As Chavez supporters marched, the opposition announced a plan to mobilize 260,000 volunteers to oversee the validation next week of about 600,000 signatures on petitions for a recall vote on the president.

An early Nazi propoganda poster for the first known Talent, Der Flieger ("The Flyer"). The poster says "The Flyer, One Kingdom, one Superman." "Übermenscentag" means literally "Day of the Supermen."

I read the story earlier about Chavez empowering the people to protect their country against mercs. That is really something!!!

The taxpayers should know how and why their money is being funnelled to these paramilitary sh*ts!!!! I don't even think Congress is fully informed of all the money funnelled to them since I seriously doubt the Pentagon or DoD would proffer such information voluntarily (in addition, of course, to the USAID).
