most of the “American” live being risked for helping the Haitians are Black and Hispanic kids. The dishonorable American is only in Haiti to cash-in. All you have to do is listen to foreign news reports on the ground in Haiti, the dirty American interfering with aid.

Seriously, a nation as filthy and corrupt as the U.S.A. can hardly be expected to perform any kind of humanitarian aid. This nation is better suited for porn and torture.

RE: Rupert and Murdoch & Co.

Some think Off-Grid means living on your own personal island, butthatis not so. We are all connected, if not by the power grid, by social, economic, and political ties. The energy shortage in Venezuala and subsequent propaganda from the governments surrounding us affect us all, in subtle and often unnoticed ways. Thank you Off-Grid for such a story.

Off-Grid is now another mainstream news distributor in the pay of Rupert Murdoch &co? part of the NWO?
Venezuala refuses to use “petrodollers” to sell its oil.
So the US built power plants,what is Haiti in dept to the world bank/IMF for now?

Reports like this have NO place here!

LUKE you are wrong. I am from Venezuela, i dont know where you got those facts, but Chavez is a charlatan, he controls the media, and he never fulfills his promises. He is a corrupt dictator just like any other.

Many of those hydroelectric dams were built for Venezuela by US companies and I know personally of many US volunteers who went there and freely developed and designed the systems and DAMs for them, once completed were promptly kicked out. Those so called free and open media outlets get daily censorship and the country has a problem with so-called independent media types getting disappeared when they push the independent voice too much. They news id highly censored too, watch the reports they produce mix and cut in military scenes from other places to make it look like Marines are hurting people, looting and fighting against Haitians. And let us not forget his soaring popularity is mixed with an extreme fear from among the people so they proclaim support because they understand the consequences of not doing so. The middle and upper classes have been devastated, the high educated have mostly been removed form all areas of responsibility and yes literacy is up but it stops there high education is significantly controlled. Free healthcare? Well sort of, the government controls reporting and rations care so that instead of most getting good care, everyone is getting lousy care. Universally bad health care is still bad but I guess so long as everyone is getting it thats okay.

To the guy from Sydney, how long have you lived in Venezuela? Or have you even been there? You are the one who needs to get informed.

Chavez never said that the US caused the earthquake with some kind of teutonic bomb. This is an entirely fabricated story and you should publish a retraction and an apology.

Yes support for Chavez is falling – to less than 60%.
(How most politicians would dream of such a level of support!)
Chavez remains popular – despite the electricity shortage, despite the high crime rates, despite a largely opposition controlled media and a very conservative church hierarchy.
Chavez stands behind the people the way the people stood behind him when he was overthrown in a coup regime of Carmona.
Since 1998 illiteracy has vertually disappeared, All have universal healthcare and education. Poverty levels, especially those of the extreme poor have been dramatically cut. There are now more independent media outlets in Venezuela than in the United States – a country 10 times the population. They have a constitution that guarantees human rights.

Those who fortell his doom do so somewhat prematurely.

You just lost a regular reader. Spend time learning more than the TV rhetoric. It makes you look like a fool.
