More on President Hugo Chavez, Venezuela

In the early 1970s, I joined the National Institute of Justice, US Department of Justice to solve the rising crime rate. Shortly, I was asked to represent the US Department of Justice at a White House meeting on President Nixon’s domestic initiatives. At this meeting, perhaps ten initiatives were discussed. I remember four. One was the development of fusion energy to overcome the oil depletion problem. The second would develop the underground beneath our cities, towns, forests, roads, etc. For instance, sewage, water, energy (coal, oil, natural gas, etc.), electricity, and a distribution system of food and products would function at different underground levels. Trucks would thus be removed from all highways. The third would change the US workers to a four-day work week. And, the fourth would increase protein in the American diet. These presidential initiatives impressed me.

Soon, Nixon was forced by black Americans to reduce the space project. Their argument was that people cannot eat space satellites and spacecrafts. Today, we know that going into space had positive effects on all fields of thought. These effects lifted the thoughts of Americans to higher levels, just as Jesus Christ said such a project would. However, reducing the space project caused many layoffs. Many mathematicians, scientists, engineers, and technicians became unemployed. Families were broken and many murders and suicides occurred. With the reduction of this project, the intellectual level of the USA was reduced.

After Nixon resigned, inflation increased. President Ford failed to stop this increase with his WIN button (Whip Inflation Now). And, under President Carter, inflation rose to the double-digit level. Obviously, the incidents of the 1970s have gone into history as a major economic failure. Today, the US economy is still in deep trouble.

When President Chavez talks down to our president and tries to buy black American friends with free oil, I detect a hidden motive. I hope black Americans recall the bad argument they made in the 1970s on the space program. Useful projects, but not ’handout or stay busy’ projects, are the kind of projects that Jesus Christ would initiate if He were here today. So, if President Chavez wants to build a communistic nation in North America, as well as in South America, then I recommend that black Americans follow Christ, not Chavez. And, please recognize that the materialism in a communistic nation is very different than the materialism in a free nation.
