Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez hinted that the U.S. may be behind a “very strange” bout of cancer affecting several leaders aligned with him in South America.
Chavez, speaking a day after Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, said the Central Intelligence Agency was behind chemical experiments in Guatemala in the 1940s and that it’s possible that in years to come a plot will be uncovered that shows the U.S. spread cancer as a political weapon against its critics.

“It’s very difficult to explain, even with the law of probabilities, what has been happening to some of us in Latin America,” Chavez said in a nationally televised speech to the military. “Would it be so strange that they’ve invented technology to spread cancer and we won’t know about it for 50 years?”
Chavez, who was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in June and had a baseball-sized tumor removed in Cuba, has called for a regional summit of leaders who have battled cancer including Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, her predecessor Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva and Paraguay’s Fernando Lugo.
“I’m just sharing my thoughts, but it’s very, very, very strange,” Chavez said. “Evo take care of yourself, Correa, be careful, we just don’t know,” he said, referring to Evo Morales and Rafael Correa, the leaders of Bolivia and Ecuador.
Thomas Mittnacht, press director at the U.S. embassy in Caracas, declined to comment when reached by telephone.
Re-election Bid
Chavez, a former tank commander who has led South America’s largest oil producer since 1999 and will seek a third consecutive six-year term in October elections, says that the U.S. was involved in a coup against him in 2002 that briefly ousted the socialist leader before he was reinstated by the military and supporters.
The 57-year-old leader also accuses the U.S. of plotting an invasion of Venezuela to capture its oil reserves.
Chavez, who continues to send the U.S. more than 800,000 barrels of oil a day, said that former Cuban leader Fidel Castro has warned him about assassination attempts after surviving what he has claimed are hundreds of plots by the U.S. since he took power in 1959.
“Fidel always tells me, ‘Chavez be careful, they’ve developed technology, be careful with what you eat, they could stick you with a small needle,’” the Venezuelan leader said today. “In any case, I’m not accusing anyone, I’m just using my freedoms to reflect and issue comments on very strange events that are hard to explain.”

Was a bit skeptical at first but he may have a point.

Anyone doubting what El Presidente Chavez is saying should search and read the book by Judith Vary Baker: ‘Lee & Me’. In it one can find many details of her own involvement in experiments she conducted under the cover of CIA Agent David Ferrie back in the early 1960′s. The technologies the shadow Govts of the world have at their dispense are nothing short of mind blowing to say the least. And not just mechanical or coarse matter related tech either; some of it involves psychic warfare such as remote viewing and that’s for starters.

Bush said it many times ( Either you are with us or against us ) So no need to say or write more than those few words for you people in the USA to make you understand and know your leaders way of thinking or shall I say forcing other nations to accept their Hazardous games all over the world.

Shadowhawk, you are right on. Also they should read Dr. Marys Monkey and keep in mind that
Lee Harvey Oswald was her driver. Creating a weaponized cancer was the aim as I understand it.
Any leader that governs for the well being of their people is an enemy of the Western powers.

Suddam Hussein could stand in front of 1000s of men armed with guns without fear. Obama has to have the bolts removed from the guns of his own military in parade marches. The Republic of the US is currently dead. And it will only be saved by the blood of tyrants and patriots.

There are many books about it including the CIA and all the other Intelligence Agencies in the drug trade.

Hitler was chauffeured around Paris in 1940 in an open car to see the sights, no one took a shot at him, not even a Frenchman !

cancer has been used as a weapon before.it has been said that Senator Robert Taft R-Ohio()opposed WW2,Cold War,and Korean war,Nuremburg Trials,and Senator Thorkelson was taken don by a fast moving cancer spread from there chairs.Jack Ruby(Rubenstein) had very aggressive cancer all over his body,in prison.He said that he was injected.They did not want him to spill the beans on the Israelis killing JFK. Chavez is portrayed as a villain because he refuses to allow US Oil Company’s run by International Jewish Finance rule his country. The US is a nasty joke,ruled,by Jews,for the Jews.This country was lost since the FED in 1913,and is nothing but a stooge for there interests,and using our Armed Forces,and Intelligence for there purposes.May Chavez,and all the rest get well.

Many worldwide have developed US weapons induced cancers..

I have no doubt that his cancer was a hit on his body. It is done all the time. Biological warfare has been going on for over a century. The AIDS virus was suppose to be a form of weaponised cancer spread by mosquitoes, but backfired.
Look into the research done by Royal Rife and others and you will see his work regarding cancer research and cures. Also, there is a woman scientist who discovered that cancer is caused by a germ, not an errant set of cells as is taught by the infiltrated medical schools. Research works by Eustace Mullins on his paper regarding the medical industry. Keep an open mind since the truth is usually shocking. The chemtrails you see in the skies have been discovered to contain aluminum particles, barium, and a host of viruses. What is the reason for all this, depopulation via mass murder on a planetary scale.

While the jmsm will have a field day with this, there is no denying the multiple attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro.
Then you read the article and see 4 other leaders similarly affected and the questioning of the origin of Chavez’s cancer might be due to American ‘technology.’
If they have the capability, there’d be no hesitation about using it.

Dr Nancy Turner Banks MD has written a book on it ‘AIDS Opium & Empire’.

Thyroid cancer is relatively rare, your thyroid is butterfly shaped and located in one’s neck.
The experts don’t know the causes, but are leaning toward changes in DNA due to age and perhaps to do with radiation.
Chavez’s cancer was baseball sized, here are a list of his probable symptoms:
You may get a lump or swelling in your neck. This is the most common symptom.
You may have pain in your neck and sometimes in your ears.
You may have trouble swallowing.
You may have trouble breathing or have constant wheezing.
Your voice may be hoarse.
You may have a frequent cough that is not related to a cold.
Some people may not have any symptoms.
I wonder if it’s possible that it’s related to cell phones? Research does support cancerous brain tumors from excessive cell phone exposure.

I don´t know what to believe anymore, the whole world is so corrupt. Where comes God in between all of this? I have to ask myself, what God we are beliving in is this, to allow such doings?
Thanks God, I am an old Lady and I don`t have to see much longer what misery is coming onto the people of this world. I feel so sory for all the young people. The world could be so nice for everybody.

Yahoo are reporting he died. That sucks if true.
