Chavez now making clouds abort from the presidential palace
Remember how the other day Hugo Chávez was saying that he was having Cuban technicians bomb clouds for rain?
He proclaimed it on TV (video in Spanish)
Well, Hugo Chávez claims he is now able to make the clouds abort by firing rays from a cannon housed at his presidential palace.
Yup, he’s actually bragging that he’s beaming rays to the clouds.
No, I’m not making up this s**t:
“Ha llovido mucho en estos días porque yo tengo un cañón en (el palacio presidencial de) Miraflores. Nube que se atraviesa, nube que le lanzo un rayo”, bromeó Chávez, en un acto de su partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV), transmitido por la televisión pública.“Ahora llueve donde desde Miraflores decimos”, lanzó Chávez que días antes decretó la “guerra de las nubes”.
“A Valencia (Carabobo, norte) le estamos lanzando rayos para que nos venga el agua, en Bolívar (sureste) está lloviendo. En Guárico (centro) no ha llovido, vamos a tener que mandar un rayo” para allá, continuó.
Para lograrlo, Chávez utiliza un “equipo especial que tiene Fidel (Castro) allá (Cuba) para hacer llover de manera artificial”.
Es “como un aborto”, explicó el mandatario. Es “hacer abortar a las nubes”.
(my translation; if you use it please credit me and link to this post)
“It’s rained a lot these days because I have a cannon at (the presidential palace of) Miraflores. Any cloud that goes by, is a cloud I launch a ray to,” joked Chávez during a function of his United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), which was broadcast on public television.“Now it rains where we decide at Miraflores,” Chávez asserted, after declaring “war on the clouds” days earlier.
At least that’s an improvement over war on Colombia, but I digress.
“In Valancia [state of Carabobo, north] we are launching rays so we get water, in Bolívar [southeast] it’s raining. It hasn’t rained in Guárico [center], we’ll have to beam a ray,” he continued.To achieve this, Chávez is using some “special equipment that Fidel [Castro] has over there [Cuba] to make it rain artificially.”
It’s “like an abortion.” It’s “making the clouds abort.”
No wonder Hugo’s buddy Mel Zelaya’s sitting in a tin-foil lined room with a teddy bear. He’s getting rained on, too.

Unless I’m missing something in my translation as well isn’t Chavez’s statement being described as “…joking?”

Fausta, you really will miss Chavez if he decide to retire entirely from politics, won’t you? You may see the reasons why US is so concern about the children bicycles factory that Iran is helping to produce in Venezuela. The CIA is investigating the internal pieces and see if it is possible to hide an atomic bomb between the chain and the gears!!

William,
In the unlikely event Chavez “retires entirely from politics”, there will be some other clown somewhere willing to provide blogging material.

The human race never ceases to produce clowns like Chavez.

It’s not the possible lack of material Chavez provides as a target that is important but the freedom of the Venezuelan people. I’m sure Fausta really wouldn’t care to not have that particular pinata to bang around if Venezuela becomes a functioning democracy again. It’s not the bicycle factory that is the concern but rather it actually is a bicycle factory as the Iranians have been revealed to be less than honest about their construction goals.
