I thought the only approved method of assassination for
South American, non-conforming, anti-American leaders who dare defy the U.S. of A’s
big oil/government/corporatocracy/government was the basic Plane Crash Op.
Times…they really are a changin’. It used to be a simple formula- 1. Gentle persuasion. If that didn’t work, 2. Send in the clowns
and infiltrate security. If that didn’t
work, 3. Start a war.
Just ask Saddam Hussein, he knows the drill. (George Bush ain't talkin'. He never really could.)
Oh. Crap.
Well, now we can only guess as to the origins of Hugo’s
pelvic tumors.
You can’t say the guy
didn’t have spunk.
So without further adieu,
I give you my latest, Hugo-inspired, mostly cut and pasted, reading list/link/video list in honor of HC’s untimely (but
expected) death.
A 2002 documentary about the April 2002 Venezuelan
coup attempt which briefly deposed Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. A
television crew from Ireland's national broadcaster, RTÉ happened to be
recording a documentary about Chávez during the events of April 11, 2002.
Shifting focus, they followed the events as they occurred. During their
filming, the crew recorded images of the events that they say contradict
explanations given by Chávez's opposition, the private media, the US State
Department, and then White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. The documentary
says that the coup was the result of a conspiracy between various old guard and
anti-Chávez factions within Venezuela and the United States.

Hugo Movie
(2011)
Hugo is an orphan boy living in the walls of a train station in
1930s Paris. He learned to fix
clocks and other gadgets from his father and uncle which he puts to use keeping
the train station clocks running. The only thing that he has left that connects
him to his dead father is an automaton (mechanical man) that doesn't work
without a special key which Hugo needs to find to unlock the secret he believes
it contains.
Ok, wrong Hugo, but surprisingly entertaining.
