Alek Boyd has another bombshell on the details of Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez’s family fortune and all its offshore accounts. Using the offices of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, Chavez has a sprawling network of bank accounts spread through Panama, Europe, Brazil and other places, amounting to billions of dollars in ill-gotten wealth.
What, you may ask, does this have to do with revolution? The answer is, a lot. It was vast corruption on a Plutus-like scale, in billions, that brought down the Marcos and Soeharto regimes in Philippines and Indonesia, both of which triggered massive moves to the streets to overthrow these dictators.
The Philippines in particular was a great contributor to world democratic revolution, with its 1986 People’s Power revolution (Note: The 20th anniversary of it is this week), which inspired the magnificent Velvet Revolution of 1989 and the downfall of the monstrous Soviet Union in 1990. It also inspired the downfall of Soeharto in 1998. The whole root of it was Marcos’ ill-gotten wealth!
Remember the S-H-O-E-S!!!!
Ill-gotten wealth in the billions is also the root of the current revolution in Thailand – it’s likely to be politically lethal in the end for Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who’s up to no good with his Ample Rich Holdings (he really named it that!) in Singapore and crony deals with his satellite company. People are marching in the streets in Bangkok over this.
That’s why Chavez’s ill-gotten wealth held in offshore accounts is likely to be an explosive issue as word of this gets out. Go see it right here and get the full scoop on this emerging scandal from this brutal, oppressive, and thieving dictator.
