President Hugo Chavez’s address to the People of Venezuela

Hugo Ch?vez Fr?as President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela 30 June 2011 “I put my hope on time. Its huge womb holds more hopes than past events, and future events shall be superior to the past ones.? Sim?n Bol?var. Time and its pace; time and its mandates; time and its designs, as noted in Ecclesiastes, makes me read this communiqu? over to the Venezuelan nation and international public opinion, for they are waiting to learn about my health progress as several weeks ago it started showing deterioration. After our superb tour of Brazil and Ecuador, between the fifth and seventh days of last June, we arrived in the always supportive Cuba to complete the tour with the wrap-up and signing of new cooperation agreements. I must admit that, as for my health, I just planned to make me check my left knee, almost recovered from an injury beginning May. Throughout my life, I have been making one of those mistakes that could perfectly fit in a category that some philosopher called fundamental errors -neglecting my health and being reluctant to get checkups and medical treatments. What a fundamental error indeed! Particularly in a revolutionary with some humble responsibilities such as the ones entrusted to me by the revolution more than 30 years ago. Notwithstanding, in Havana, on Wednesday evening, June 8, here we were again with Fidel, with such a giant who has gone beyond all times and places. Surely, it was not difficult for Fidel to note some discomfort, in addition to my left knee that I had been trying to conceal for several weeks. He queried me almost like a doctor; I made my confession almost like a patient. On that same night, the whole medical breakthrough achieved by the Cuban revolution for the sake of its people and for most of the world was made available to us and a set of diagnostic tests started. Hence, a foreign mass in the pelvic area was found, leading to an emergency surgery in the face of the impending risk of widespread infection. That was on Saturday, June 11, very early in the morning, some hours before the address read over to the country and the world, giving rise to many expressions of solidarity, which do not stop moving me every single moment. After that surgery which initially succeeded in draining the abscess, an intensive antibiotic treatment started with a positive assessment, I mean, positive progression, which brought along notable improvement. Nevertheless, despite the overall favorable progress, throughout the process of drainages and cures, some suspected additional cell masses thus far undetected would arise. Therefore, another set of special cytochemical, cytological, microbiological and anatomical pathology studies was conducted and confirmed the existence of an abscessed tumor with cancerous cells. This made a second surgery necessary which allowed to fully removing said tumor. It was a major surgery without complications. After that, I have continued evolving satisfactorily, whereas I receive supplementary treatments to fight the various cells found and thus keep on the way of my full recovery. In the meantime, I have kept and keep informed and in command of the actions of the Bolivarian government, in touch with the Vice-President, comrade El?as Jaua, and all my government staff. I am immensely grateful for the numerous and enthusiastic expressions of solidarity received from the Venezuelan people and other fellow peoples, as well as from Heads of State and Government of numerous countries around the world, convinced that all that love, all that solidarity, are the most lofty energy which drive and will drive my willingness to vanquish in this new battle that life has put in front of me. And I am especially grateful to the Cuban people, the Cuban nation, Fidel, Ra?l, all that medical legion who has been in the front of this battle in a really sublime way. However, I have been keenly aware of some degree of anguish and uncertainty that has been overwhelming throughout these days, these nights, the soul and body of the Venezuelan nation. I think that beyond the manipulating attempts of some well-known sectors, such feelings were and they are unavoidable and form part of the very human nature, which nature is also surrounded by its circumstances and many times shaken off as in this case. From the very beginning, I took on every responsibility concerning strict care of the veracity of the information to be delivered, based on a twofold set of reasons ?firstly, the medical-scientific reason and secondly, and with utmost, special care from the bottom of my soul and conscience, the human reason, the loving reason, to be more precise. The loving reason. We have talked somewhat about the first one. It has been a slow and careful process of approaches and diagnoses, advances and discoveries throughout several stages, where a rigorous scientific procedure has been applied, which procedure admits neither haste nor pressure whatsoever. The supreme rule which governs this mighty reason is full scientific verification beyond any indications and suspicions that might emerge. As regards the loving reason, I feel obliged now to speak to you from deep inside myself. At this moment, I can remember February 4 of that thunderous year 1992. That day, I got no choice but to address myself to Venezuela from my decline, from a road that I felt like leading me to a bottomless abyss. From sort of a dark cavern of my soul, the ?for now? emerged; afterwards, I plunged. Also, those ill-fated hours of April 11, 2002 come to my memory right now. Then, I also sent to my beloved Venezuelan people that message written from the naval base of Turiamo, where I was held prisoner, a toppled president made prisoner. It was like a painful chant from the bottom of another abyss which I felt like swelling me in its throat and sank me, and it sank me. Again, at this new time of troubles and above all, since the very Fidel Castro, the same one of Moncada Quarter, the same one of the Granma, the same one of Sierra Maestra, the everlasting giant, came to give me the tough news of the cancerous finding, I started begging my Lord Jesus; my parents? God, as Sim?n Bol?var would say; the Virgin?s gown, as my mother Elena would say; the savannah spirits, as Florentino Coronado would say, for them to give me the possibility of speaking to you, not from an abyss or a dark cavern or a night without stars. I wanted to speak to you with the sun of the dawn that I feel rising. I think we have achieved it, thank God. And finally, my beloved fellow countrymen and countrywomen; my beloved daughters and sons; my dear comrades; young people, boys and girls of my people; my dear patriotic women; my people, all and only one in my heart, I tell you that wanting to speak to you today as I prepare once again to return has nothing to do with myself but with you, patriotic people, good people, with you. I did not want and do not want you at all to join me on any path leading to any abyss whatsoever. I urge you to continue together, climbing up to new summits, ?for there are cherries over there, on the hill and a beautiful song to be sung,? as the people?s singer, our dear Al? Primera, keeps on telling us from his eternity. Let us go, then, with our Father Bol?var, in the vanguard, to continue climbing up to the summit, Chimborazo! Thank God; thank you my people; thank you my life. Until victory always! We will win! Havana, this beloved and heroic Havana, on June 30, 2011. I tell you from the great homeland, from my heart, from my whole soul, from my supreme hope which is the hope of the people, now and forever. We will live and win. Thank you very much. Until my return.

    I want to help Mr joint. Chavez in Venezuela to promote the economic and security fields.
    Human being in the right way to process the organ has always been the same since the beginning of life until old, then only one of the best ways and certainly will result in very high speed to know up to this universe, of life. So-called man-made technological advancements that is far from true to life, well for roughing and the origin of the group, and the result is it can also look great, and I also recognized, but only for worldly wealth alone, certainly very different from the real life. In humans who already know yourself well, then it will know, has the capability of TECHNOLOGY CULTURE, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, hurricanes, typhoons, tsunamis, lightning and more, if the uninitiated, it is usually called a disaster, this is the aspect advantage, that man was the right way is always to have an early warning that much better than other creatures. Volcanic eruption is one way to open up life on other planets, to the necessary requirement for life will be like on earth, this is a good way and certainly the same as the first life on earth. LAPINDO, all moving objects must use a breath, then LAPINDO, as well as, may be reduced by 90%, gas and hot mud that comes out, it will gradually stop completely in a long time, 6 month or longer, to be commercialized as soon as possible. When so many people who say it is a natural technological disasters, of course absolutely wrong. Learning and practicing the right of the normal human organs it will generate will know ourselves as human beings who have infinite capacity and speed is also very good. Keep in mind that all things are moving, rotating, such as the Earth and other planets as well as its content using a breath that does not know death. Here people can also use the breath to find out to the universe and know that life is always alive. Live every second core, or center of life is always there, every second in every human being and human beings there can FEEL, LOOK and SEE the object anytime, anywhere. There are men out there are people who already have the capability of less than one second to unite with the universe, the speed of light above, here the man is often called the figures, the author is not interested in opening something about the character, but rather on the proper functioning well at speed, the organ of the body in order to know about the universe is fine and course authors are also ordinary people who want to have the common wealth and worth of the help. In essence the human animal has always lived SINGLE beast from the beginning, there was no evidence that when the baby and the baby get to know each other a group or not, trust the best man always from myself, not from books and stories, in this way have been honestly mistaken, many who fail to know yourself and always increasing, children and grandchildren come to fail uuntuk know yourself as a human. What is in the normal human body is complete, then the man has a chance to know a wider and once out, learn to write what you know and gradually, rather than blind trust will be written by others, this is the source of the failure to believe in blind, knowing only a tool assistive technology that’s great, believe the word magic, miracles, it is also wrong, the truth is that an authentic life, all there myself, not him nowhere, are not clear and more difficult to know the truth. See man with the practice of money, the precision is so high that the school needs, but to know yourself ignored. With regard to sex, how this is done by animals, then humans are just out to get a descent living and enjoyment of sex, of course, wrong. Sperm is an important tool to increase the ability, when necessary to help and make a SINGLE work, turn in the body. Do not imitate the life of an animal, would have become extinct in accordance with an example. The best example is certainly of plants.
    In the field of food and drink into the body, is not justified exaggeration, the right way humans at the age of 5 years is no need to eat and drink again, because what is in the normal human body is complete, see the plant as an example of a good life, it’s the same can be done by humans. If people only knew just eat and drink throughout his life was imitating animals, this is the wrong way. Here medical science fails to know, as with any tool will never succeed. Humans with an organ that is always the same, of course only one of the best ways to cultivate the body’s own ability to have a correct and useful, how to work without tools, without touch, without prayer, without ritual, without drugs, without mysticism, without side effects, when properly trained, it will result in the ability of self is very good. Sure to get to the good ability, human organs are also no age limit, between 15 years to 60 years is the age of the ability of organs that can be united with the universe, less than one second. Life is always about time and people can also see the plants, the leaves of which are in the middle are always in contact with the other leaves, but leaves the ultimate in touch-free with the universe, as well as humans. Please also note that all moving objects including the earth and all the planets and their contents, using tools and equipment to move it will never know death is life, it is a breath instrument, this is proof that life will always live with the correct tools. Pity our children and grandchildren will be the victim, if it fails to know himself throughout his life would certainly become extinct like the animals. It must be recognized in a number of very large man, just a blind trust, and one chose the way of life, only able to use the book as a way of life, is very narrow, and also where the direction where it is not clear. Use the rule of life that has always lived, in order to avoid extinction and what is in the normal human body is complete. The author is not a man who wanted to become a teacher, preferring to learn and practice better about life, irregular arrangement of this paper, because I think only of the practice and study, and written their own, without engineering, human beings with the same organs, the way This became the right of every human being to be self-study, where the core, the center of life there is always a normal human being in your body every second. Keep in mind that the death was a human error in choosing a way of life, see the car is running and then die in the middle of the road, this occurs because of procedural errors, failure to know the best throughout his life and his descendants. Of course there is a true, life for the universe that knows no death is always there and this is the essence of good living, there is always a successful human being to know and live it to the core. Human life, one goal is to make the body itself, through round after round of life who have always lived life at its core, not to the figures, see the farmers are able to grow over time, this means almost the same for humans. This is one of learning and training that we can, of course, there is currently no ability to be convincing enough I could, basically just a new idea. If you already know the life cycle, it will always be the same for all rounds of the universe and is often called the life of the universe. Human beings are always SINGLE.
    This capability is useful in the State, the safety, security, tranquility, not attacked another country, civil war, uncontrolled demonstration, and of course the economy improves. Also applies to companies and individuals. In helping people who have a speed of 5 seconds is always about time, effective 24 hours – 7 days there will be a sign of improving, for heads of state such as kingdom, the president and prime minister, if not necessarily able to be helped to the program can work well. Areas of health, of human beings who have a high speed, must have good health in medicine, check up, it justified its accuracy is very good medical equipment. Humans who have a pretty good capability can certainly help cure diseases, reduce disease by 90%, with a clear standard, the first 7 days there will be an early sign of improving, not all diseases can be cured, if they can not help it when you first came can not be answered directly assisted. Humans with a life that is always the same, and always the same organ, then THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO BE ON THE RIGHT, to achieve the highest ability to unite with the universe in less than a second, well above the speed of light. Honestly, I highly interested in the process the ability of organs to the maximum, the direction of the figure but do not know when it should arrive. ALWAYS ON authentic, just like humans who know the money must be authentic, if there is a direction muter muter and certainly never got it the wrong way. Humans at the age of 3-5 years in the right way is able to know yourself well, and at the age of 5-7 years has been able to know until the entire planet, to feel and see the environment as well. The author is not a teacher, there is still much to be learned, the right of every human being to get to know yourself and what is learned ability to write down little by little, the universe is still widespread, persevere. There must be a smart human being smarter, see the leaves, the highest is always in touch with nature, in the middle would be rubbing against each other leaves, applies also to human beings.14 February 2012. Fight with the best possible way.
