Livia Acosta Noguera, Venezuela’s consul general in Miami, Florida, was accused by U.S. President Barack Obama of being a cyber terrorist! She left Florida this week.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says he will now close down their consulate in Florida. Chavez said his intelligence officials discovered that Obama was going to make the accusation back in December: “We already knew this was going to happen.”
“We are faced with a health crisis linked to a scam. The whole profession is aware of it.”-Laurent Lantieri, plastic surgeon
The case of Poly Implant Prosthesis (PIP) is spreading to other countries, and several cancer cases could now be linked, and insurance companies are now suing.
More than 300,000 women, in 65 countries including France, Italy, Spain, U.K., Venezuela, Brazil, Germany and Ukraine could be affected by the PIP silicon breasts. At least 1000 women in France had their implants rupture.
PIP filed for bankruptcy after they were sued in British court, and lost. Then it was revealed they were using industrial silicon, instead of medical grade silicon, in their breast implants. But now important company documents, along with the company’s founder, Jean-Claude Mas, have gone missing and Interpol is looking for them.
In 2010, at least one case of a woman who died from cancer, was being investigated as murder because of her PIP implants. On December 30, 2011, the French government revealed that at least 20 cases of cancer can be directly linked to PIP: “…there were three cases of lymphoma, 15 cases of breast adenocarcinoma, the most common form of breast cancer, one case of adenocarcinoma of the lung, and one case of acute myeloid leukemia.”-French Health Products Safety Agency
The government of Italy has ordered doctors and hospitals to report women who have PIP made implants. Brazil and the United Kingdom are telling women with PIP implants to get checked up right away. Brazil has banned the use of PIP products. France’s National Health Insurance Fund is now suing. Venezuela’s government says it will pay for removing PIP implants. In 2000, the U.S. FDA banned PIP products from the being used in the United States.
In a perverted twist, Jean-Claude Mas’s son and daughter have filed papers to create a new silicon implant company, and they list their father as an official consultant. I wonder if Interpol knows. The new company is scheduled to open in June 2012.
“Experienced criminal investigators of the Main Military Investigation Committee flew in from Moscow to provide practical assistance to the investigation team on the site. Fifty witnesses have been questioned. Investigators are studying the documentation seized at the dockyard.”-Vladimir Markin, Investigation Committee
The Russian government said the fire aboard the Yekaterinburg Delta class submarine is no cause for concern regarding nuclear radiation. The reactors had been shut down, and the nuclear missiles removed before the sub went into dry dock in the Murmansk Region.
However, there is now an investigation, for possible sabotage because of the way the fire ignited the outer rubberized hull. Workers claimed a scaffolding caught fire, and that set the hull on fire. The fire was so damaging that officials are deciding if it’s worth it to repair the sub.
In Venezuela, President Hugo Chavez said the United States is acting behind the scenes to destabilize Vladimir Putin: “The United States is trying to undermine his leadership, split Russia and destabilize its government and realize its imperialist project to create world hegemony.”
Chavez said this is how U.S. leaders operate because they do not support true democracy: “What is happening in Russia, they will try here, because these people know they cannot win the elections, either politically or mathematically.”
“Right now there is a very serious threat to global peace: a new cycle of colonial wars, which started in Libya, with the sinister goal of refreshing the capitalist global system, within a structural crisis today, but without any limit to its consumer and destructive voracity.”-Nicolas Maduro Moros, Foreign Minister of Venezuela
Moros says the war in Libya was pushed by the mainstream media: “The logic of war having its spearhead in transnational mass media: let us bear in mind that the ‘Libyan Case’ was brought before the Security Council on the basis of intense propaganda by the western mass media, who lied about the alleged bombing of innocent civilians by the Libyan Air Force, not to mention the grotesque media setting of the Green Square of Tripoli.”
Moros points out that the so called no fly zone was anything but: “It’s worth wondering: what has the no-fly zone established by Security Council resolution become? How could NATO perform more than 20,000 missions against Libyan people if there was a no-fly zone? After the Libyan Air Force was completely annihilated, the continued ‘humanitarian’ bombing shows that the west, through NATO, intends to impose their interests in North Africa, turning Libya into a colonial protectorate.”
Moros points out that NATO violated the arms embargo they were supposed to be enforcing: “How can we say that an arms embargo was imposed on Libya, when it was NATO itself that introduced thousands of heavy weapons to support a violent upheaval against that country’s legitimate government? The embargo was, of course, meant to prevent the Libyan government from defending its sovereignty. This shows, once again, the cruel logic of international relations, where the law only applies to the weak.”
Moros warns that the United Nations is a puppet of Europe and the United States, and that will be the UN’s undoing: “If its secretary-general, along with the president of the International Criminal Court, take part in an act of war, as in the case of Libya, nothing can be expected from the current structure of this organization and there is no longer time for reforms: the UN does not accept any reform whatsoever, the illness within it is deadly.”
“We came to Syria to express our support and solidarity with the Syrian people, and to express our resentment of the media war against Syria.”– Temir Porras, Deputy Foreign Minister of Venezuela

“Venezuela is the 13th largest holder of gold in the world. From a financial aspect, I think it is a very shrewd and intelligent move to protect his country’s gold assets. There is, however, a political overtone in that he wants to pull out the other financial assets that Venezuela has in the U.K., in the U.S., and push it into what he calls ‘more likable allies’, Russia, China and Brazil.”-Adrian Salbuchi
President Hugo Chavez wants all of Venezuela’s gold now held in European and U.S. banks to be returned.
It would be the largest physical movement of gold in recent history. Some reports say it would involve U.S.$11 billion in gold.
The demand for Venezuela’s gold to be returned, comes after Chavez announced that the government would nationalize all gold mines in Venezuela.
The intent of nationalizing their gold industry is a precursor to creating money backed by gold: “We are going to nationalize gold and turn it into foreign exchange reserves…”-Hugo Chavez
