Venezuela's President Chavez Offers Cheap Oil to the Poor...of the United States
We play the rest of our conversation with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. He spoke with Democracy Now! in his first interview in the United States. We ask him what evidence he has for his charges that the Bush administration has attempted to assassinate him and he reveals for the first time, details of a plan to offer of cheap oil to the poor...of the United States.
Today, the rest of our interview with Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez.
President Chavez was in New York last week for a summit of world leaders at the United Nations. In his speech, Chavez blasted US foreign policy and accused the Bush administration of trying to hijack the UN summit. He described the United States as a terrorist nation because it is harboring the televangelist Pat Robertson who recently called for his assassination. Chavez has long charged that the US was behind the aborted coup against him in 2002.
In the interview, he reveals for the first time, details of a plan to offer of cheap oil to the poor...of the United States.
Democracy Now! met with President Chavez on Friday in his first sit-down interview in the United States. I interviewed him with Democracy Now! co-host Juan Gonzalez and Maraget Prescod of Pacifica Radio station KPFK at the Venezuelan ambassador to the UN's residence here in New York City.

In case you hadn't heard... cheap oil contributes to global warming, environmental degradation, and a generally less healthy life. Does anybody in the US really need more cheap oil? If Chavez truly wanted to be a friend to the poor of the world he would RAISE the price of oil so that consumption habits would change and the remaining oil could be utilized more efficiently (if it must be utilized at all).
. . . . environmental organizations frequently find themselves trapped into a predominately white, middle and upper middle class constituency
I'm sure that the low income Latino community in Chicago that has already entered into an agreement with Citgo will appreciate the notion that they are environmental scofflaws
