Well, it is the Kennedy family running this, after all.

Venezuelan troops get provocative book***CARACAS - A book published and distributed by the Venezuelan army argues that ''revolutionary Islam'' and U.S. religious extremism are moral equivalents and quotes approvingly from the Venezuelan terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal.

The 250-page Peripheral Warfare and Revolutionary Islam was written by Spanish politician and academic Jorge Verstrynge and is being distributed on the personal orders of Army Chief Gen. Raúl Baduel, a long-time supporter of leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez.

Baduel's office said he's not available for an interview until January. Armed Forces Inspector General Gen. Melvin López Hidalgo said he was unaware of the book but argued that its publication by the army should not be taken as ''tacit support for the opinions it contains.'' It's simply an example of ''freedom of expression,'' he added.

....................One foreign military officer in Venezuela, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of his job, said the Venezuelan army does appear to be endorsing the book's contents. ''It's even got the army's coat of arms on it,'' the official said. ``What more of an endorsement could you have?'' ..........***

Interesting math involved - 12 million gallons of home heating oil for $9 million- THEN-

A 200 gallon delivery will cost $276.....

75 cents per gallon cost

$1.38 to the consumer

So who is getting the just over 80% mark-up? IF this was really to "help the poor folks", then why such a high mark-up?


Just an interesting observation.

CITGO, which is owned by PDV America Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela SA, the national oil company of Venezuela.

Why do we buy gas from CITGO?

Buy American.

Did the reporter actually put the word Kennedy anywhere in the article? I did not see it, and submit my observation as yet another example of how "MSM" deletes information that would be "not in the best interests" of their readers. We know that Citizens Energy is Robert Kennedy's pet project, but how many casual readers know it.

In common language: CENSORSHIP

a local nonprofit energy corporation

Gee, I wonder who runs that. Nifty way for Chavez to get some money to Ted, and the rest of those Kennedy miscreants.
