Whether the MSM reports it or not, Latin America has been heating up with Cuba and Venezuela seeking to destabilize and undermine democracy throughout the entire continent. At a time when the Community of Democracies is meeting in Santiago, Chile, its virtual antagonist composed of the most criminal minds in the western hemisphere converged on Havana to seek an alternative to free trade and democracy. I have never in my life seen such a perverted brothel of lowlifes, making perhaps the most up-front declaration of intentions I have ever heard.

HAVANA (Reuters) – The leaders of Cuba and Venezuela relished their roles as Washington’s bad boys in Latin American on Friday and vowed to build a socialist alternative to U.S. policies in the hemisphere.

President Fidel Castro and the younger and equally loquacious Hugo Chavez mocked Bush administration charges that their burgeoning partnership threatens to undermine democracy in Latin America.

“I’m realizing that your friendship is hurting my image,” Castro joked to Chavez during a meeting with hundreds of free trade opponents from across the Americas.

The Bush administration’s former point man for Latin America, Otto Reich, recently called Havana and Caracas the region’s “axis of subversion” and accused Chavez of squandering Venezuelan oil wealth to prop up Castro’s 46-year-long rule.

“With the combination of Castro’s evil genius, experience in political warfare and economic desperation, and Chavez’s unlimited money and recklessness, the peace of this region in peril,” Reich wrote in an article.

Castro, 78, read out Reich’s words to a delighted audience in Havana’s Karl Marx theater.

Among the attendees were Bolivian coca farmer Evo Morales, whose peasant movement helped oust a U.S. ally from the presidency in 2003, and former Salvadoran guerrilla Shafik Handal, leader of the Farabundo Marti Liberation Front.

“If we are speaking of an axis, that axis is spreading in all directions and turning into masses of people that are rising up,” said Chavez, who has aligned his oil-exporting nation with Cuba since his election in 1999.

Appealing to poverty-stricken Latin Americans disillusioned with the promises of free-market capitalism, Chavez last year countered the troubled U.S.-backed Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) with his Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA, also Spanish for dawn).

It wasn’t just Hugo and Castro partying it up and smoking their respective countries into ash. They had the likes of Bolivia crisis instigator Evo Morales and guerilla murderer Shafik Handal serving them drinks! How is it that the MSM can give hours of its reporting each day to the skunk on Donald Trump’s head while elsewhere in our own backyard the forces of communism are working to send the entire western hemisphere into chaos?
