According To Venezuela Obama Is Responsible For Haiti Earthquake

» 13 comments

I’m not even sure The Onion could make this stuff up. State-owned radio and television stations in Venezuela (Hugo Chavez state-owned) are apparently reporting that the cause of last week’s devastating earthquake in Haiti was caused by “secret” U.S. “weapon of earthquakes.” This via Reason.com:

Both a Venezuelan state-owned radio and television properties zeroed in on a secret U.S. “weapon of earthquakes” as the cause of the earthquake that struck Haiti last week causing a death toll could exceed 200,000 according to some sources. On the website of Radio Nacional de Venezuela (RNV) are published statements of the university professor, Vladimir Acosta, a regular contributor to the media controlled by the government of Hugo Chávez, accusing the U.S. of wanting to make Haiti a protectorate under the guise of the natural disaster. But to further the conspiracy theory, argued that “we have the worrisome suspicion that this earthquake may be associated with the project called HAARP, a system that can generate violent and unexpected changes in climate.” …

According to the channel Vive, a report from the Russian Northern Fleet “would indicate that the earthquake that devastated Haiti was the ‘clear results’ of a test of the U.S. Navy through one of its ‘weapons of earthquakes’” . As published on this Venezuelan public media site, it is “more than likely” that the U.S. Navy had “full knowledge” of harm that “this earthquake test could potentially have on Haiti and had pre-positioned their Southern Command Officer, Gen. PK Keen, on the island to oversee relief efforts if needed.” [*translated with the help of Google Translation.]

You know, just a regular day for the Devil. Makes America’s cable news habits look downright upright in comparison.

    I thought Barry & Sean Penn & Danny Glover had our differences all ironed out. Guess Barry needs to “open a dialogue” with Hugo again, huh? It’s been working so well and all…..

  • The Real Royal King

    Rush, Doocy, the Gretch and Glen(n) think just like Chavez, huh?

  • timzank

    Huh?

  • timzank

    Lets’ recap royal, Teh One runs and wins on a platform of having an open dialogue with dictators. Penn & Glover all but fellate Hugo on numerous televised trips to Venezuela. Hugo then laughs in Teh One’s face, and promptly says we are responsible for Haiti’s earthquake, and Rush, Doocy, Gretch, and Glen are relevant how? Were your cognitive problems diagnosed as a youngster, or just since you became a progressive?

    Looks like those Venzuelans need to be taught a lesson. Let’s fire up our “create-a-revolution-in-your-country- that-won’t-earn-you-anything-but-a-socialist-dictator” ray.

    Timzank, the point is these four (4) goofballs blame everything on President Obama, just like Chavez is doing.

  • Zakk

    Barack Obama hates haitain people. There, someone had to say it.

    For the sake of accuracy and consistency, Royal… when Chavez was calling Bush “The Devil,” and so on… did you group people like Keith Olbermann, Howard Dean, Reid, Pelosi, Obama, etc. with him?

    Seems that if you link Chavez to Beck, Rush, and so on… you would do the same when Chavez was saying essentially the same things the left was saying about Bush… right? That would be consistent, wouldn’t it?

  • The Real Royal King

    I’m afraid I don’t get your strained analogy or your clumsy attempt to mix politicians and media celebrities. I have no idea how to respond.

    I’ll say it again, then… real simple like:

    You said: “the point is these four (4) goofballs blame everything on President Obama, just like Chavez is doing”, pointing out what you see as a “similarity” between “Rush, Doocy, Gretchen and Glenn” and Hugo Chavez.

    However, a few years back, Chavez was making nasty, foolish, and insulting comments about then President Bush. These comments were very similar to the comments made by those on the left… Olbermann, Maddow, Reid, Pelosi, and so on.

    So the question is (again, real simple like): Is this hypocrisy from Royal, or did you point out such a similarity then too? Was/Is it okay to be “Chavez-esque” when you’re attacking a Republican… but wrong when you’re criticizing a Democrat?

    You simply cannot make stuff like this up. The troubling part is there are hundreds of thousands who believe Chavez—including Danny Clover! Sean Penn believes he actually is the reincarnation of Harvey Milk. (PDB)

    Hugo – IS – the “HERO” in Central and South America! We (the US) are the “suckers” for spending our money/efforts in places like Haiti and other places -where- PROFITS are ‘limited’! Our 7th Special Forces spent much TIME, walking up and down the hills/mountains of Central and South America before they “found” Ché..!..

  • writer

    This is confusing. Danny Glover told us that climate change was responsible. Now his buddy Hugo says it’s Obama’s fault. Those two are going to have to get their stories straight. Next time you’re having tea together, fellas, try to iron it out.
