Just got another missive from the requonquistas at aztlan.net. I’m always most nterested in the communiqués in Espanglish—I think they think they’re excluding la Gringa. El ha ha.

Lunes 15 de mayo de 2006LONDRES [LONDON UK] (EFE).- El presidente venezolano Hugo Chávez proclamó ayer el inicio de una “nueva era” en América Latina, donde se está formando un “bloque de fuerza mayor” de países con gobiernos de izquierdas, a la vez que reiteró sus advertencias a Estados Unidos contra una invasión a Venezuela o Irán.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chaves announced [proclaimed] yesterday the beginning of a “new era” in Latin America, where is formed a “block of major force [power/strength/cogency]” of countries with leftist governments to reiterate their warning to the United States against an invasion of Venezuela or Iran.
“Nunca antes se había conformado en América Latina un bloque de países que estamos agrupándonos y definiendo un rumbo común”, dijo Chávez en la primera jornada de su visita de dos días al Reino Unido.
[trans. getting looser, now]
Nothing heretofore has brought together latin America to be so defined under a common route [method/way/goal]
“Cada día seremos más”, dijo el gobernante venezolano, al evocar al “compañero” Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva y a Néstor Kirchner, presidentes de Brasil y Argentina.“Dis is a beeeg day,” said Hugo hugging his new bestest buddies, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Néstor Kirchner, presidentes of Brasil and Argentina.
En un discurso de casi tres horas y media ante cientos de simpatizantes en Londres, el jefe de Estado sudamericano señaló que, junto a Lula y Kirchner, se está “consolidando un eje patriótico” en Latinoamérica y “ese movimiento liberador nadie podrá pararlo”.In a speech that lasted 3 and a half freakin’ hours in front of hundreds of sympathizers [supporters] in London, the Big Queso of SouthAmerica pointed out, together with Lula and Kirchner, “this is a consolidation [bringing together] of an *axis* of patriotism” in LatinAmerica and “this movement is released [started/freed??] such that no one will be able to stop it.”
También elogió tanto a su nuevo aliado en la región, el mandatario de Bolivia, Evo Morales, cuyo país se ha convertido en el “corazón geopolítico” de América Latina, como a su gran referente político, el presidente de Cuba, Fidel Castro.
Also I praise big time our new ally in the region, the Enchalada largo of Bolivia, Evo Morales, whose country has participated in “the geopolitical heart” of LatinAmerica, juuust like his
fetishinamorataheeero, Feeedel Castroil.
[pretty sure about this bit—help *is* solicited and welcomed]Asimismo denunció la “sobredosis de neoliberalismo” que le han inyectado a la región instituciones capitalistas como el Banco Mundial (BM) y el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI).
Also, he reported that [denounced] the “overdose [kid you not] of neoliberalism” [idiom?] which has injected into the region capitalist institutions like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
"Socialismo o barbarie.
Socialism or barbarianism [savagery/cruelty].
[or ‘Socialism or beards’—same thing, I guess...]He aquí el dilema. El socialismo es el camino”, refirió el dirigente al abogar por “construir un nuevo proyecto socialista” para “detener la marcha perversa del capitalismo salvaje y poder salvar al mundo”.
And here is the problem. Socialism is the road, the way [route/course of action] to advocate for “building a new socialist project” to [for the purpose of] “slow the perverse march of savage [uncultivated/cruel/brutal/nikulturni] capitalism and save the world.
{alrighty thennn}
En otra parte de su alocución, Chávez volvió a advertir a su colega estadounidense, George W. Bush, contra la posible invasión de Venezuela o Irán, al subrayar que no tendrá el petróleo de esos dos países.In another part of his speech, Chaves again warned BushCo against invading Venezuela or Iran and emphasized “NO BLOOD FOR OOOOOIL!”
{sheesh}
Afirmó que “Irán no es Irak” y que un eventual ataque ordenado por Washington para frenar las ambiciones nucleares de Teherán constituiría “una amenaza para todos nosotros”.He repeated that “Iran is not Iraq” and that an possible attack of Washington to [for the purpose of] restrain the nuclear ambitions of Tehran constitutes “a threat to all of us.”
{he sure is over-identifying with the Mahdi in an Almond Dinner Jacket...}
“Si Estados Unidos lanzara una invasión contra Irán, se las va a ver peor que en Irak”, país en el que “no hay gobierno” y de donde el “imperio no sabe cómo salir”, dijo el gobernante latinoamericano, quien calificó el conflicto iraquí como “el Vietnam del siglo XXI”.“If the US launches an invasion against Iran, it will be worse than Iraq,” an ungovernable place where “imperialism won’t know how to get out”, say the governors [rulers] of Latin America, who judge the Iraq conflict to be “the Vietnam of the 21st Century.”
{Howard Dean is on line 2 and Teddy Kennedy is on line 3, Sr Chavez}
En su visita en el Camden Centre (norte de Londres), adornado para la ocasión con banderas venezolanas, Chávez estuvo acompañado en el estrado por su principal anfitrión, el alcalde de Londres, Ken Livingstone, entre otras personalidades.In his visit to Camden Centre [London] adorned with Venezuelan flags for the occasion, Chaves was joined by the mayor of London, Ken Livingstone and others.
Sin embargo, el presidente venezolano no será recibido durante su estancia en Londres por el primer ministro, Tony Blair.
Según el 10 de Downing Street, residencia oficial del primer ministro, Chávez no se reunirá con Blair porque su visita es de carácter “privado” y el gobierno de Caracas “no ha solicitado ninguna reunión”.
Chavez ain’t a’gonna be received by Tony Blair on this visit. According to 10 downing, Blair will not meet with Chavez because his visit is characterized as ‘private’ and Chavez did not ask to meet.
{yeah—that must be it}
Ok—so there may not be a Commie under my bed, but there sure is a pile of ‘em in London today. And the hive is abuzz.
Now I know why the Aztlantians sent this in code Spanglish. BTW, dida hear much about the US slapping a full arms ban on Venezuela [preventing all US military sales and trying to prevent re-sales from other countries of US arms] because of their ‘close associations with terrorism-sponsoring states of Cuba and Iran’ and outright championing the damn terrorists in Iraq. Official Venezuelan arms have been found in the hands of Colombian terroristas. The ban does not cover US purchase of Venezuelan OOOOOIL. *cough*
“We don’t want to suspend oil exports to anywhere and we’ve never done that . . . but I can’t answer if Venezuela would suspend oil to the US if there was a war with Iran,” President Chávez said in London. Iran is the second largest oil producer in Opec, and Venezuela produces similar volumes to the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, in joint third place.
Yep—OPEC bu..buddies.
The British ‘press’ calls him the “Vivacious Venezuelan” and describes his reception as ‘remarkably warm.
Red Ken, the mayor of London is a long time, dyed in the wool, socialist. His support of this little despot is neither surprising nor unexpected.
