Venezuela's Chavez Returns Home From Cuba



Chavez In Surprise Return From Cuba -- Reuters

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made a surprise return from Cuba on Monday more than two months after surgery for cancer that has jeopardized his 14-year rule of the South American OPEC member.

The 58-year-old socialist leader's homecoming in the middle of the night implies some improvement in his condition - at least enough to handle a flight of several hours - and will fuel supporters' hopes he could return to active rule.

But there was no new information on Chavez's medical condition and he might be simply hoping to smooth a transition. No images of his arrival were released and aides have said his state remains "complex."

My Comment: If he is able to make a public announcement in the next few months I will be surprised. He will have to go through a long convalescence period .... and who is to say that the cancer will not come back.

I sincerely doubt Hugo Chavez returned from Cuba. The announcement was limited to saying "he's back", there was no photo OP for the media, nor was this pre announced.

They tried to make people believe he was recovering by showing a set of photos of Chavez with his daughters. The release was apparently caused by student demonstrations near the Cuban embassy. And the released photos were then analyses and said to be fake.

So what we have is an Ursurper regime trying to continue the charade that Chavez is functioning. This is going to backfire, the longer they keep piling their fakery, the more paranoid people in Venezuela will become. And this includes his followers.
