FULL STORY
Just hoping sucessfully and make it permanent ,like dead!!
Poisoned? Really?
Right. We all know that anybody who is critical of the US and gets cancer MUST have been poisoned.
Look folks, if the US really wanted Chavez killed and overthrown, he'd be dead and overthrown by now.
It wouldn't be the first time that the US has interfered in the internal affairs of a South American country, and it won't be the last. An empire knows no bounds.
Maduro obviously has very limited scientific knowledge of how a person gets cancer! It's not a virus or bacteria & not contaigious! Even if some1 was injected w/cancer cells, a healthy body simply gets rid of them! There will Never be any "scientific proof" that Chavez "contracted" cancer from an "enemy"!!
Swine flu, not the dancer. I warned you in 2009 directly Mexico etc, before the outbreak and told you not campaign last year. The IRGC have the address, I am unarmed.
