And Saddam was a heir to King Whatshisname?

"Experts with the “Leon de la Cordillera” Genealogical Society ...are working ...to confirm that President Chavez is, indeed, a blood descendant of the Emperor Montezuma."




And you can be certain that they will conclude that he is.

[EBH]

In summary, while Chavez’s quest to prove his blood lineage to Montezuma is laughably absurd, it is also somehow fitting that Venezuela’s erratic and mentally unstable president should seek to prove that he is Montezuma’s heir.

This is incredible...first we have Iran, China, and Venezuela chatting togother, then Ahmadman claims to be a prophet for the last Imam, now Chavez is claiming to be a descendant of Montezuma. What next?

Oh wait don't tell me...Ahmadman will claim the Aztecs were really muslims and Chavez is the last imam. Wonder what China is going to claim?

Didn't the Olmecs wipe them off the face of the earth?

"while Chavez’s quest to prove his blood lineage to Montezuma is laughably absurd..."




I don't know if I would say that. I suspect that he's doing this in order to establish authenticity to the peasants.


I'll be interested to see if his neighbors will tolerate the rise of a neo-Moctezuma in their midsts. My suspicion is that this move by him brings him another step closer to the grave.

Apparently the new communists don't have a problem with royalty.

Louie Farrakhan spoke with the spacemen, why can't this guy be king ?

"If Chavez and Montezuma were blood relatives, the Venezuelan president might demand that the United States return to its rightful owner – meaning Chavez – all of the territory the U.S. “stole” from Mexico, including California and Texas."




Come get it, Hugo. If Montezuma couldn't hold it, you certainly won't.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Seems there's a slight misunderstanding in linguistics goinig on here. "Montezuma" in the ancient tongue means "he who is of noble blood." While "Moctezuma" means, "that part of a northbound donkey which is facing south."

And what a heritage it is...

chavez is giving off the indications associated with a wholesale implosion.

I think he claims descent from Saladin.

However, serious historians view Maisanta as a murderer, cattle rustler and all around bandit.

Second, the family tree has several generations of natural children, meaning that the fathers never acknowledged their paternity legally, and may not, in fact, be the real fathers of the children they are identified as having sired.

Well now, our family has traced our genealogy back much further - spent decades doing our lines and have discovered that it isn't only physical characteristics that we inherit, but personal traits...so it just might be true that he is descended from such a polluted gene pool > ;o)

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

I guess its time to look for a descendent of Cortez to take care of this "decendent" of Montezuma.

The Aztecs were into human sacrifice. On one of their high feast days 10,000 human beings were killed. I don't know if I would really want to link my family to this kind of behavior, although it is fairly typical behavior for socialist despots like Chavez.

[Thunder90]

And we see that Russia/Fmr USSR, China, Iran, and Venezuela are buddying up to form a new world anti-American bloc....

[pcottraux]

According to the genealogical experts we consulted, there are some problems with Chavez’s claim that he is a blood descendant of Montezuma.

Wow. THAT'S hard to believe.
