Chavez says capitalism may have ended life on Mars

Tue, Mar 22 2011

By Eyanir Chinea

CARACAS (Reuters) - Capitalism may be to blame for the lack of life on the planet Mars, Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday.

"I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet," Chavez said in speech to mark World Water Day.

Chavez, who also holds capitalism responsible for many of the world's problems, warned that water supplies on Earth were drying up.

Note to Hugo,
You’re not paranoid, we are all out to get you.

Sheila Jackson Lee is going to be so disappointed. At least the capitalists can now be blamed for removing her “flag the astronauts planted” on Mars.

On the top floor of our office building in Arlington, VA is an oil services company...when I get in the elevator, many of their employees speak spanish to each other — they are from Venezuela, and fled the country after Chavez nationalized the oil industry. They now work as engineers at the US based company.

Venezuela produces a fraction of the oil it once did, now that the industry was nationalized. Most of the Venezuelan talent went to the US, Mexico or Canada. Jobs in the Venezuelan oil company were given to Cronies of Chavez — didn’t matter if the people receiving the favors knew anything about the oil industry...

True nutjob.

Well, that's a weight off President Bush's shoulders - he wasn’t blamed for lack of life on Mars - wow, imagine that;)

He is trying to take the place of Gaddafi as the world's premier nutjob now that the latter may be forced to retire(or die) soon.

Conversely, look what Communism has done for North Korea, Cuba, and Detroit.

“Worlds in Collision” (Immanuel Velikovsky, 1950) contains an interesting theory about how Mars became the seemingly dead planet that it is today.

What is it with left-wing nut jobs and aliens anyway? (Calypso Louie, Hugo Chavez, Tom Cruise, etc.)

Hey, Hugo....

History has shown the policies and practice of Communism/Socialism has caused famine, disease, poverty, and environmental ruin. Prove that wasn't the demise of your fictitious civilization on Mars.
