Questions

Question 1: My son is in Iraq, a Marine. Chavez offered “our president” oil from Venezuela for 50/barrell – would have stopped our government from going into Iraq (my son says we’re there for oil). What can we do to make our government react?

A: it’s important what we do, because our agenda affects everything. All the citizens of the world should vote – because it’s just for you, it’s for the world.
Also, in a country with all these movements, how do we put it into a political context and change the agenda? Do this stuff from outside the box. The world likes this country, but the world would like to have a country that’s more dedicated to the democratic process AND the world.

Ok, now he’s talking about 9/11 and how everyone backed them, but that America lost sight of the real causes.

So his suggestion? Look at the world for answers. Also, don’t forget that things change. Neo-Cons create problems.

Final Answer: I don’t know. keep trying, keep moving on, we have to go beyond what people tell you is the normal situation, there’s so many possibilities.”

Clapping. For what?

Question 2: Citgo being the gas company of the Venezuelan government, I thank them for working for Citgo and helping poor children (what?) Wanted to know if it’s possible to create a piece of paper that compares the costs between Citgo and other oil companies, since boycotts are happening – but not with the help of your government.

Answer: Well, let me at least provide the data! From outside sources, yes yes.
