Apparently a done deal :Hugo Chavez offers Jamaica $40 bbl oil

Even more scandalous for Big Oil, Chavez is using Venezuela's windfall not to fatten his own country's oligarchy but to benefit the Venezuelan poor and help neighboring countries.

Yesterday, while Robertson was issuing his half-baked Chavez clarification, the Venezuelan president was in Montego Bay, Jamaica, where he announced a new oil agreement with that country's prime minister, P.J. Patterson.

Under the agreement, Venezuela will supply 22,000 barrels of oil a day to Jamaica for a mere $40 a barrel. That's far lower than the current world price of about $65 a barrel. With the price of gasoline in that destitute nation already more than $3.50 a gallon, the Chavez plan means more than half a million dollars a day in savings for Jamaica on oil imports.

Chavez also announced his government will provide $60 million in foreign aid to Jamaica and finance the upgrading of that country's oil refineries.

No worry Jamaica

Hugo Christlike?

What is really surprising a day after one of
our Christian leaders(whether you like it or not)
was being very unChristian and then Hugo Chavez
expresses charity, perhaps through his own
convictions or a Sovereign God showing mercy to
the poor people of the Caribbean.

God does move in mysterious ways

 

Cmg pretty open ended...but my salient point is
that a sovereign God is still at work in this
world to help the needy. imho

Can God use a Nebacanezzar...can God use a Hugo
Chavez for one act of mercy..all I am saying it
is a possibility.

and yes there is a third possibility..political
capitol on his part...only God knows Hugo Chavez
hearts and his help for the poor and downtrodden.

 

Hitler/Stalin? that is a big stretch even for Hugo
Chavez. cmg why are you bringing that trash into it?

I have clearly showed an
open ended question and the mystery of one day
a Christian acts unChristian and the
next day a so called dictator(your words) acts
in charity and only pointed out the possibilities
and how God does work in mysterious ways and not
always the way we would plan it per ideology.

I agree Chavez has chosen the poor over the rich
in Venezuela and that is causing a gnashing of teeth to moneyed interest abroad.

And like I said it may be sincere conviction on
his part of it may be political expediency on his
part..and you and I agree on this only God knows
Hugo Chavezs heart.

btw if your having trouble picking me up ..you
may need to re calibrate your reflectix helmet
you are using reflectix aren't you?
