Hugo Chavez

President of Venezuela

Dear fellows!

I prefer to refer to the nation with only good news, because I love them and wish them all the best. But as the leader of my country, I must address unpleasant news as well, since people who are informed – are those, who are prepared to act decisively.

On this day, I want to bring the truth to every resident and citizen of the country about what is happening in the world collapse. Due to the expansionist policies of some countries we are in a difficult situation. We were lying in wait for such hazards as corruption, violence and poverty on a global scale. And all these threats in some way connected with drugs.

The social side of the drug addiction is expressed in decreased fertility and increased mortality, population decline, degradation and depopulation, in the breakup of families, deterioration of living standards. And so my task for today is to encourage people to discuss the idea of building a single healthy society - mental and physical.

Indeed, in the age of new technological development and computer science advancement, we, the heads of States, civil society organizations and the older generation must spend maximum time with our children and teenagers, pay maximum attention to their development and education, attach them to the spiritual world, otherwise it will be hard for them to face the psychological pressure, and they can be demoralized or become antisocial personalities in the century of globalization.

Only verified common governmental policies of every single state can win the fight against international drug trafficking and organized crime. I always say that we should all be spiritualized by Don Quixote, a warrier who came into our world to fight against injustice.

I am sure that any smart person would express his willingness to protect the right of the society to a healthy, full, and most importantly, free from any dependency future. This is the process of daily creation.

Finally, I can only express my sincere hope that you will begin the process of creation today!

    As a brave person, respected and great leader, why don't you go first to the leaders of other countries by suggesting some methods of dealing with drugs?! Someone has to start this!

    The major problem lies in the border control. The drug production will not last and be used for long within one country, this business will disappear sooner or later. So wouldn't it be more easier to just strengthen the border lines?

    You probably tasted any of the drugs when you were young. I will not believe that you didn't... I am sure that everyone who opposes it, know what it really is. No, they are not addicts, but almost everyone have the same adolescence - street, student groups, marijuana... Therefore, anyone who is struggling with drugs can state that: "I tried, but I'm not addicted. Please do the same".

    You - are the real president of your country, your speech fascinates and inspires confidence in the future. However, we still lag behind in many things from the large neighboring countries. Can you tell us, whether we will live wealthy, or only our children and grandchildren will?

    You cannot do anything with it. Either America will absorb everyone or China will do so over the time. And there will be their rules. The struggle for independence - is only temporarily!

    In a statement here you say that we all need to spend more time with our children in order to prevent drug abuse among them, but how can I do this, if I have to work two jobs day and night to feed them? I believe that in addition to direct anti-drug propaganda it is necessary to improve the lives of all people. Only in this case drug addiction problem will be solved.

    The process of creation, sure! What can one person or even a group of people do in the fight against drug addiction, if the government encourages the supply of drugs and alcohol? Be honest at least with yourself, hypocrites!

    Dear Mr. Chavez! I admire you and your politics! We, the citizens of Venezuela, love you and wish to continue the same productive domestic and foreign policy! Also, we wish you good health and longevity!

    Drug addicts and alcoholics existed everywhere, no matter of the regime, religion and harsh penalty. And this is human nature. I think we should protect healthy people and let the ill people disappear. Only then we will live in a "clean" society.

    Are you going to improve your relationships with the United States?

    It is better to fight rather than do nothing at all. But it is difficult to fight against the mass media, that propagates the violence and all the dirt, it's hard to oppose a worthy opponent ... Although, the strict censorship can be helpful.

    I hate drugs, but I consider those people who use them, ill. I am sincerely sorry for them! Of course, we should fight against drugs. But not all of the methods are affective, and this must always be remembered!

    I found out that Soros has given millions of dollars for lobbying the legalization of marijuana in California.



    This raises two questions:



    1) What is the interest of Soros? Purely a business?



    2) This follows from the first question. Isn't this the whole futility of the contemporary struggle with the expansion of drug markets, why would such strong personalities actually lobby for the support?

    Why do you actually have to fight drugs? People made their own choices. I don't think that forcefully dragging them to something good and bright will do any good, that's why they should either get out of it themselves or they should die.

    I know the case when the guy quited drugs himself when his drug addicted girlfriend gave birth to a dead child. Although he blamed the doctors, I think, deep inside, he knew that it was his and his girlfriend's mistake along with their life style at that period of time.

    You always talk about the expansion, about the desire to destroy your state sovereignty and other things. Then in what way you imagine the anti-drug cooperation, if you will not allow any foreigners in your countries?

    You say that you love to appeal to the people with good news, however, there are no a lot of good things in the world today. Especially in the fight against drug addiction. Have at least someone gained the victory on drugs? No! Only a few cases blocking the channels of trafficking, detention, drug dealers ... But the global problem is still growing, and it is depressing.

    How can you believe all these appeals? You all think he is really concerned about the future of young people? Have you ever seen a politician who thinks about people?

    I frequently hear the news about your country. I wish you to defeat drug addiction. You have a great leadership capacity!

    I am impressed by your concern about young people, I work with youth and I think that it is great that you pay special attention to young people.

    Hugo is a man, he says everything straight to the point. This is the right way of dealing with drug addiction. Respect!

    Politiсians just love to speak with metaphors, how would you understand the following - "we should all be spiritualized by Don Quixote, a warrier who came into our world to fight against injustice"? I respect Chavez, but how can you compare Don Quixote with fighters, especially with those who fight against drug addiction. All these are beautiful words, but what is actually done by the countries in this sphere? People are still dying from drugs, crime, and from the hands of "spaced", they cannot cope with the desire to use drugs, because there is a great deal of it.
