Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez today mocked a U.S. media report that he had been rushed to a hospital with kidney failure linked to the socialist leader’s ongoing treatment for cancer.
“I’m fine, here having my first coffee of the day,” a sprightly sounding Chavez, 57, said in one of his regular, lengthy dawn telephone calls to state TV.

THE SAME YOU DID NOT HAVE CANCER. CHAVEZ WE KNOW YOUR KIND. STALIN AND HITLER IS STALIN AND HITLER IS STILL ALIVE TOO. ONE THING I,M VERY MUCH SURE OF , WHEN YOU NUMBER COMES UP IT WOULDN,T BE THE US MEDIA CALLING IT, IT WILL THE ALMIGHTY GOD REST ASSURED.
what chazev think he be a cat? even cats die.
My grand father was a very wise man, he always told me to never argue with fools, there is no way one can win, just leave them alone to wallow in their stupidity.. He also told me that most fools suffer from a certain kind of d delusion. If they tell you the moon is made of cheese tell them yes I see that.. If they tell you fire is water and water is fire tell them yes you are absolutely right.
Chavez is here mocking the US (or calls it a rumour or a lie)for saying he was rushed to a hospital for kidney failure. However, Chavez DID NOT DENY IT! So it must have been the truth and not a rumour.
On the otherhand, let’s continue to pray that Chavez remains in good health and leaves long especially at a time like this. Dominica was just torn apart from floods that washed the streets of Dominica clean, and the fact that Skerrit has turned against the US and sees Chavez as his little god, then we just cannot afford to lose Chavez
wolf wolf
Even comments on the Chavez story you rejecting?
Let me repeat…..and let me add more to what I first said…
Reject this….
if he eventually dies i wonder if he will rise from the dead and mock reports..
Why all this denial? When the talk came out about his cancer, members of his government denied…
Then we later got confirmation….now he is on theraphy…he admited to taking steroids…to keep appearing to be ok and fine…
now they rush him to hospital on tuesday, he gets treated…and comes on the tv on thursday via telephone saying he is ok..and they lying..
These dictators die with their boots on garcon….
ADMIN: We don’t have someone approving comments full time. If you don’t see you comment right away, why don’t you just wait instead of making a big fuss. SMH
Why are you worrying about the US and what they have to say. Just take care of your health unless you, Chavez afraid to die.
if he eventually dies, I wonder if he will rise from the dead and mock reports too…why is he in so much denial about his health?
the Caribbean change …you could have all these credentials and still be a fool …David duke is an intelligent man….and he think that blacks are sub human beings..
so do all those research scientist and makers of all the drugs that you use they all think that blacks are one fifth of a human being
i want to sit the CPA myself I’m jealous of this one credential…
Are you Tiny Whiny, according to the late ARROW?
right now i´m watching mr chavez on tv he is in good health and good spirits
Hope be recover soon…
At wikileaks!! You made my point for me deary!! Thanks for preseting the data to prove what I was saying.. Some of us read and do not understandwhat we read it seems! Yet we send others to read! Enough already!!!!!!

Are you foolish or playing stupid? I will post it again for you.
China exports by main countries
China’s top export market is the European Union. In the year 2007, 250 USD billion worth of exports are exported to EU. Subsequently, USA comes in 2nd with 233 USD billion worth of exports from China. This is followed by Hong Kong having 184 USD billion worth of exports from China. These three countries have formed the major portion of China’s export market; constituting to 54.3% share of China’s total exports. These statistics reflects the considerable weight of China in the exports industry of the above-mentioned countries. Changes in demand and supply conditions would have a significant impact on the economy of EU, USA and Hong Kong and vice versa.
Below is the chart of China top 10 export markets (countries / regions) for the year 2007:
This trend has not change

We need to give this worm a trip to China. Here is what my sister website is saying. Not because you are some uwp unwanted , you have to make people think you are a nitwit.

BLESSINGS UPON YOU MR CHAVEZ, MAY THE MIGHTY HANDS OF GOD ALMIGHTY BE UPON YOU.”THIS SICKNESS IN NOT UNTO DEATH, BUT FOR THE GLORY OF GOD, THAT THE SON OF GOD MAY BE GLORIFIED THROUGH IT”(JOHN 11: 4)
one word…karma
To RainDrop, I am a holder of a BBA, MBA, CPA. WHAT’S YOURS? I guess you are the Holder of only the clothes that you are now wearing. Right?
LOL i’ll believe that when i see it!
1979 has no country, my credentials are one thing you or anybody else cannot take away from me and you better believe that. Not when I worked and studied hard for them in the USA.
Gaddafi gone, Chavez in going, Ophelia washed Dominica away. Things are not looking good. You see people physical development might look good, but it can somethings be destruction in the guise of development. Where there no vision the people perish, and I dare say Dominica is one of the countries with no vision. There entire well being is dependent upon which despot will throw a penny in the begging cup!! WOW!! How visionary. Every crook from every corner of this earth can take this country on a ride to hell.. Just tie a dollar on a string and they will follow you to hell!
While the people of Layou are begging for mercy , and thinking what morons??? And the people cheer! Oh great development!!!
Stop being a donkey’s hole and educate yourself; stupid and ignorant.
you should use this opportunity to educate instead of exposing yourself. We break each other down when we behave in such onbecoming manner. We as Dominicans need to be respectful of each other’s opinion and comments which we disagree with. It appears we have a case of the blind leading the blind and no one is getting anywhere. In very few circumstances should we use fire to fight fire. Dominicans need to learn that on all sides of the political spectrum. Be the smarter one, while sending someone to educate themself, take the time to learn a new way of dealing with comments that you do not agree with. Your adjectives is not indicative of an educated person. Thumbs down!
@ Raindrop. I applaud you for this comment. It serves as an amazing reminder of the attitude that we should all maintain when rebutting the comments of other contributors. Thank you.
is this something a degree holder would say????…
Poor you politices is embedded in your head so much you seeing only bad words and things in your head mind and soul. Thank God for saving the people no one died. Shame on you, see the name you used “remember the Bible” you are forgetting God’s words. Do not wish people bad.
DNO! BY removing a significant apt of m post, you made it worthless, best you have chosen not to post it.. You took away the main point I was making..
Pure Nonsense again from ignorant Dominicans. Even if Chavez passes away tomorrow, we should not forget how Veneuela has contributed to our developments in Dominica, including among other things, sending down a corps of Engineers to work on the upgrading and moderninzing of the Melville Hall International Airport and injecting 10 million dollars into the Airport project, the Simon Bolivar Housing Project, Petro Caribe. It is time we Dominicans stop talking political trash and stop gloating over people’s illnesses.
Shut your bac,who the hell made you mr.righteous over anyone or everyone.?….
Every Dominican is entitled to his/her own opinion,and has a Right to express it,boldly,without fear of people like you jumping all over them……
Red is not the only color in the Dominican Flag……Respect for everyone’s Right of expression and opinion,is what you need to learn even if it differs from that of your own.I don’t necessarily have to agree with you,but I should respect your opinion…even if it is not factual….Damn Propagandist.
You see,comrade,(in your case), everyone is entitled to their opinion,but not there on facts.
Clearly,you are not as educated as you propose to be.Your claimed credentials,are just in the figment of your imagination….Dream on….
What you are very good at, is “propaganda”.
Show me a propagandist,I will show you a deceiver. One who is full of falsehood.
…. You,comrade, have no conscience, therefore, can never handle truth,nor is it in you to take a stand for what is right…..
I suggest to you ,that you keep singing,or rather,barking(you have a wonderful voice) for your supper. One day you may be thrown a bone with a small piece of meat on it…Bow wow….
All the best to you…….
Ooppss…”
should be “not their own facts”.Sorry…..
But wait a minute, one cannot use or write the word “backside”?…..Hmmm…. That’s quite pathetic indeed.You guys are being vey tedious…I’ve seen and read worse…
All the best…
Distasteful.. Hatred only.
Why do you want to be disrespectful? to your fellowmen?
TO …!, Are you jealous of my credentials? It appears you are. Sorry you were one of the unfortunates in Dominica. You need to go back to the RED CLINIC for help. IT was geared towards people like you.
Mellevile Hall was not an upgrade that was just purely cosmetic work. How much different is the airport now than before? How much has the work done there contributed or will contribute, significantly to our economy? Remember how long it took this cosmetic surgery to be completed and the significant sums spent for the same. Has the work which was done bring our airport anywhere close to international standards? And when I speak international I’m not even referring to something like whats in Barbados or Antigua, I mean even close to St. Kitts or St. Lucia. How long will it be before we will need another round of so-called upgrade? Can we honestly answer any of these questions? Until we can then I guess we don’t understand what development is and we will forever settle for mediocrity
Yes they die with thier boots on, Chavez believe he is untouchable, so even in his illness he not even takin time out to ask the good lord to help him he fighten for power over Gods childen like he own them, so what he expect, i hope Skerrit asking himself a question so God can have mercy on him,
I take it that you grew up in the Ghetto and in the projects, like those in America, and came from a backward family. Right?
There you go again!…You fool…It is not where you were born,or grew up. But it is rather,what one aspire to become…Goals you set for yourself and your achievement of those goals…One should never let his/her circumstances define him/her,but one should always try and define ones circumstances….
My own words,not borrowed from “Jimmy Cliff’s..every tub has to sit,and every man has to stand……”
Unlike you, who just aspire to “bark” for your supper,hoping for an occasional bone…Bow wow wow…..Propagandist!
Prudence,”comrade”…prudence.
This story originated from a spanish speaking newspaper based in the U.S. with a reputation for spreading western propaganda among the latin community against leaders seen as enemies of the west and are most vocal against western imperialism.
This particular report on Chavez’ health is unconfirmed, so far there has been no official statement or any other form of confirmation to support that story so the anti-Chavez advocates should not yet start chanting victory.
Remember that next year will see general elections in Venezuela and the opposition and their international supporters’ best chance of victory against Chavez is to paint a picture of him as an invalid so expect many more rumors about his deteriorating health.
i guess he does not have cancer then.
He does have cancer but there was no medical emergency on tuesday with regards to kidney failure nor resulting in his being rushed to a medical facility as was reported in the story. I have been following local venezuelan news, he himself has denied these as rumors according to him he is continuing treatment after chemotherapy and recuperating from the effects of the chemo but the reports of kidney failure on tuesday are false.
Before being branded as communist, socialist, leftist or any other ‘ist’ let me state that; my opinions are not based on any particular political bias, i try to follow as much as possible through the media, international politics and other current international affairs. My independent and personal opinions are based on my own analysis of reports and articles from multiple sources. From personal experience i have noted that there are normally inaccuracies in the first reports put before the public, on any particular situation. It is also unwise for one to make a judgement based on information coming from a single source (some news agencies are tainted).
I was neither denying nor confirming anything on the state of Chavez’ health i was simply pointing out that what is reported in the story presented here may not necessarily be accurate given it’s origin. This is the very same story put out last night by the Reuters news agency and which according to them, they received from the ‘spanish language news source based in the U.S.’ of which i made previous mention. So in essence this story comes from a single source and one which as i also previously mentioned has a tendency to spread western propaganda. So to reiterate, it would be unwise to make a judgement or chant victory over Chavez based on what is presented in that one particular story.
FYI: local venezuelan media has reported from Chavez himself that the story is untrue.
Do you recall or have you heard of Dominica ever being able to stand on its own two feet? Let’s not pretend that this is so easy to happen now especially as this world still faces its economic crisis. Even America has to depend on China. Stop thinking Skerritt. Think Dominica instead and pray for the country’s sustenance!
China’s economic progress my dear DEPENDS on American consumerism. Without the American market for China to sell the CRAP to China would still not know what toilet paper is.. You people must get informed about what it really going on in the world.
Remember the Bible, China does more trade with Europe than the US….you will not understand that because you don’t read. You come to DNO to talk foolishness.

I think you will find that America is very much dependant on china. Before telling people to read, you should really read yourself. By the time America pays off the trillions it owes to China, the Chinese economy would have already undergone a full transformation. China is not so dependant on America as you think. Not anymore anyway.
Skerrit is doing his best for the love of his country and doing what Leblanc and PJ could not do many years ago. Leblance and PJ retarded our development for years. Open your eyes people and see the truth.
Nonsense!! Chief Minister and then Premier Leblanc did what he could within the circumstances.Foreign affairs was handled by the UK. There wasn’t much Premier John could do either besides taking us to political independence. His reign as PM was short-lived but he made it possible for PM Skerrit to enjoy the fruits of his labour (pon intended).
Remember, also that Skerrit, as a member of the Young Freedom Movement, opposed independence for Dominica. Without independence we could not have relations with Cuba, Venezuela, China. We could not have bilateral relations with the USA and Canada. Everything was done with the blessing and watchful eye of the British who were still represented by a Governor.
Trust in God not Man
Pray for leaders of nations…Lord be with us all. Illness is no respecter of persons and so we pray that your will be done for President Chavez.
there is a god above and he is wide awake!!!!
That’s why Chavez got sick? It that also why children starve, are abused and die?
lol nice
all power belong to the almighty father men just so foolish.one thing money,power,friends,influence cannot buy health.people no matter how powerfull you think you are God is the ultimate power and without him we can do nothing on our own.
Oh NO Daddy Chavez in serious condition. What will we do when he passes? Who will take care of us? Boy all the big brothers to our PM are having problems. Dominica may have to stand on it’s own feet soon.
Well if HAARP has any say, it will not be able to stand.
Time to tell your PM to forget about Venezuela, Cuba, Lybia and Mainland China.
Should the PM of Dominica turn to you? What have you done for your country? What can you do for your country? Nothing! Blame Leblanc and PJ for retarding Dominica’s development and progress for many years. Skerrit is doing his best after many years of retardation caused by Leblanc and PJ and then you have Athie Martin talking crap about how a great man Leblanc was. Bullshit. So shut your mouth and go away for you are booboo day.
@ DE CARIBBEAN CHANGE:
As an “educated” man, why do you insist on putting someone down to make another look good? To deny the contributions made by Chief Minister & Premier Leblanc in the areas of culture, electrification of rural areas, road construction (chimen wivay o’vant), potable water in many villages and school construction, is really stabbing in the back the forebearers who passed the torch.
It is obvious that you are part of the “just come” who hijacked the Labour Party. Your ignorance will not allow you to differentiate between a colony, an associated state and an independent state. Or is it just your intent to deceive? You are not doing the DLP a favour by negatively attacking its stalwarts. Do you know the difference and the role of Chief Minister, Premier and Prime Minister?
with any administration that comes we have people helping us. it about time d/ca be left in the wind to handle our own s**t. so that the lazy people who living on hand out and just plain lazy will know what time it is
Who took care of us before Chavez? Before Chavez was, there were the hardworking Dominicans doing our best to develop our island. We are becoming too dependent on others and not tapping into our own natural human resources.
they tapping into it for us!!! those lazy that addicted to the red clinic. they doe just want the banana, they want you to peel it for them and feed them too…Dominicans saqway sot yo tout!!!!
Every tub have to sit on its own bottom and every man have to stand on his own two feet. We are all standing on our own two feet. No broken legs.
