owned by Rev Sun Yoon Moon. they have two great military analysts on staff. they also publish this guy named martin arostegui who may be getting info from USG cause he only writes about vzla as it relates to US national security. I don't think they are good on Venezuela but they are not fooled by Chavez fake revolution.

Uh, you're the one who just said "venezuela is an animal rights and enviromental basket case if only eric really knew or cared."

Oh, but I forgot. Venezuela was a paragon of vegan and vegetarian animal rights activism until the big bad carnivorous Hugo Chavez came along.

I learn something new every day from you folks.
