Venezuela to probe Chavez cancer poisoning accusation
Source: Reuters
Venezuela will set up a formal inquiry into claims that deceased President Hugo Chavez's cancer was the result of poisoning by his enemies abroad, the government said.
Foes of the government view the accusation as a typical Chavez-style conspiracy theory intended to feed fears of "imperialist" threats to Venezuela's socialist system and distract people from daily problems.
Acting President Nicolas Maduro vowed to open an investigation into the claims, first raised by Chavez after he was diagnosed with the disease in 2011.
"We will seek the truth," Maduro told regional TV network Telesur. "We have the intuition that our commander Chavez was poisoned by dark forces that wanted him out of the way."

2. The paranoia is sickening
I hope the government doesn't lose its mind now and fall into civil war if Hugo's officials try to take power.

5. Just like Maduro's BFF Ahmadinejad investigated the Holocaust.
This is crazy talk, as anyone familiar with cancer or medical science in general will tell you.
It's to-be-expected-talk as anyone familiar with tyranny and communism in general will tell you.

10. Without taking a position on this particular situation
are you suggesting that people who are familiar with medicine/science believe that you cannot transmit cancer?
Because scientists know very well how to give cancer to laboratory animals. How do you think it gets studied?
The BFEE invented AIDS to destroy Africa.
I heard it in a Rage Against the Machine song.

6. Reminds me of that "Arafat was poisoned" so-called "investigation."
Long on accusations, facts are nonexistent.
It's almost as if miserable failures need to blame others for their miserable failings.

Radiation Poisoning Killed Ex-Russian Spy
By ALAN COWELL
Published: November 24, 2006
LONDON, Nov. 24 — The British authorities said today that Alexander V. Litvinenko, a former Russian K.G.B. officer and foe of the Kremlin, died of radiation poisoning here in what a senior official called “an unprecedented event.â€
Police said radioactive traces were found at three London locations, underscoring the highly unusual nature of the whole episode, which began when Mr. Litvinenko first complained of feeling unwell three weeks ago.

8. That wasn't cancer.
Citing Litvinenko for the proposition that you can poison someone with cancer to assassinate them is like saying that the Kennedy assassination is proof that Chavez may have been shot by a phaser weapon as shown in Star Trek.

9. Chavez died from cancer and not from radiation poisoning though.
I wont say its 100% impossible it wasnt caused though because because there is a chance it could have been but to put it into perspective there is also a chance I might just win the powerball jackpot tonight, not very likely I will but there "is" a chance.

This investigation sounds like a job for poor addled grasswipe Judy Smith, as soon as she wraps up her probe on how
coach killed the round red sodomite.

OK, so I went down there one night back in 2010 and gave the S.O.B. cancer.....I'm still owed beer and travel money for that job and if someone doesn't come up with it soon, I'm telling the world.

Why give a man cancer and wait ten years for it to kill him?
Why not just use a drone?
Why should anyone with the resources of the USA have to wait 10 freaking years for an enemy to die?

Is this DUmmie wise to the fact that Dead Ted was assassinated by giving him a drug that causes alcoholism and assorted problems?
