In early 2006, I was invited to join the World Social Forum in Caracas.
There, I had some wonderful experiences and it was the first time I met the heroic Hugo Chavez. President Chavez was a notorious orator who could intelligently expound on many subjects, for hours, but he was never, ever boring.
Chavez had a weekly show called Alo Presidente which lasted for hours some weeks. At the end of the Social Forum, Chavez invited me to be on his show. The problem was that it was very close in timing to my departing flight. So, to solve this problem, my sister Dede and I were transported from the show to the airport in the presidential helicopter (first and last time I’ve ever been on a helicopter, but it was very big and super-cool).
Anyway, I recount this experience because Mademoiselle Danielle Mitterand ,the widow of the long-deceased former president of France, with whom, Butcher Biden apparently chatted in 2021, was also on the helicopoter and she was a very gracious lady. It’s my “one-degree” of separation story for the morning.
From NBC “News” (about my appearance on Alo Presidente:
Cindy Sheehan, who gained international fame when she camped outside President Bush’s ranch in an anti-war protest, plans to pitch her tent again, Venezuela’s president said Sunday as he urged activists worldwide to help bring down “the U.S. empire.”
Hugo Chavez, an arm around Sheehan’s shoulders, told a group of activists that she had told him “she is going to put up her tent again in front of Mr. Danger’s ranch” in April.
In some of his strongest recent comments aimed at Washington, Chavez condemned the Bush administration and said his audience should work toward ending U.S. dominance.
“Enough already with the imperialist aggression!” Chavez said, listing countries from Panama to Iraq where the U.S. military has intervened. “Down with the U.S. empire! It must be said, in the entire world: Down with the empire!”
Chavez said Sheehan had invited him to join her April protest at Bush’s Crawford, Texas, ranch. Sheehan, whose 24-year-old soldier son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004, held a vigil outside Bush’s ranch during the president’s vacation in August, attracting some 12,000 peace activists and reinvigorating the national anti-war movement.
“Maybe I’ll put up my tent also,” Chavez said, to applause from an audience invited to his weekly broadcast on the final day of the World Social Forum, an annual gathering of anti-war and anti-globalization activists.
Chavez said his government would help protest the war in Iraq by supporting a drive to gather petitions and delivering them to the U.S. Embassy in Caracas. Chavez, who before the war in Iraq had friendly relations with Saddam Hussein, has been a frequent and strident critic of the war.
Sheehan thanked Chavez for “supporting life and peace.” She said earlier that she was impressed by his sincerity when they met privately on Saturday.
“He said, ’Why don’t I run for president?”’ she said. “I just laughed.”
Sheehan also noted that singer and activist Harry Belafonte recently called Bush “the greatest terrorist in the world,” and said, “I agree with him. George Bush is responsible for killing tens of thousands of innocent people.”
Anyhoo, all of the above was just a stroll down memory lane. I wrote a book about my experiences with Chavez and my admiration for the work he did in Venezuela called Revolution, A Love Story if you’d like more details about that.
But, recently, at a campaign event in Las Vegas, Butcher Biden repeatedly stated that he had a chat with Mitterand when they were sitting around with other world leaders talking about the “insurrection” on Jan 6th 2021.
President Joe Biden appeared to confuse French President Emmanuel Macron with Francois Mitterrand, the former president of France who died in 1996, during a campaign speech on Sunday.
The mix-up occurred during a campaign event in Las Vegas, where Mr Biden told an anecdote about a meeting with G7 leaders back in June 2021.
The 81-year-old president recounted how he told the meeting in Cornwall that “America is back”, which prompted a response from “Mitterrand from Germany”, before correcting it to “from France”.
“Mitterrand from Germany — I mean, from France — looked at me and said, ‘You know, what ... why … how long you back for?” Mr Biden said.
He added that the conversation then turned to the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, with then-chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, comparing it to the hypothetical storming of Parliament in Britain.
It makes me wonder what the moronalists on MSNBC will say about this “cute old man” who makes innocent mistakes while his palsied fingers are inches away from the button that will cause nuclear annihilation and this recent international gaffe? I know they lost their collective sh!t when Trump referred to Nanny Pelosi as “Nikki Haley.” Of course, this means that Trump’s mind was gone and he was hopelessly lost to dementia. Since I had my second child in 1981 when I was a young-lass of 23, I have mixed up my children’s names and, now, it seems I forget more names than I remember, but, Joe Biden obviously is in steep mental impairment and decline.
It’s my honest opinion that all US presidents are puppets for much darker forces, but Butcher Biden is an abject embarrassment.
But, no worries, the White House has “memory-holed” this ridiculousness, so, it never happened:
This corrupt, demented, lying sack of horse poop got 81 million votes!

Awesome that got to meet with Hugo Chavez! The fact that remains salient to me about the 2020 "election" is that 25 million more Americans were said to have voted than any previous quadrennial. Maybe the Covid Psy-Op made people vote like crazy, like never before? All I know is you have to beat a lot of bushes to get that many voters, or: in 2020, there was a voter under every woodpile...
No doubt Biden has lowered the presidential bar to its lowest in history. I mean, what's left to respect? Total embarrassment.
