Hugo Chavez, World Leaders and Cancer DeathsIndications that the Cure Exists (For a Chosen Few)Janet C. Phelan With cancer deaths figuring at 23% of the mortality rate in the United States (cancer is the leading cause of death in developed countries and the second leading cause of death in developing countries), one might think that the Big C might be striking down leaders of countries with the same regularity as it afflicts everyone else. The rather unusual and nearly universal tendency for the power elite to sidestep cancer death has raised questions as to whether or not the powers-that-be might be bogarting the cure. Since Hugo Chavez was leading his country, boldly, in a manner that distinguished his leadership from the lockstep, pro-American arse licking that typifies most of the worlds statesmen at this juncture in time, one might ask if the power elite specifically bogarted the cure from Hugo Chavez. In a recent article in Press TV, Dr. Kevin Barrett has suggested that the CIA may have given Chavez the death-dealing cancer (Source). Cancer may be transmitted through injection by an unethical medical professional. A number of sources have alleged that a fast-acting cancer was developed in CIA labs decades ago and was responsible for deaths ranging from Jack Ruby to investigative journalist Mae Brussell. If one looks at other notable politicos who have succumbed to cancer of late, the picture becomes a bit eerie. The 2010 breast cancer death of Elizabeth Edwards, estranged wife of former Presidential candidate John Edwards, raises concerns as to whether John Edwards dramatic fall from grace and subsequent prosecution dovetailed with the cure being withheld from his wife. Edwards was eventually charged with soliciting and covering up spending more than $925,000 to hide his mistress and their baby during the peak of his 2008 campaign for the White House. The grand jurys indictment contained six felony counts, including conspiracy, four counts of receiving illegal campaign contributions and one count of false statements on his public campaign finance reports. As Edwards had become a targeted political figure, it is safe to assume that his Icarus-like tumble might have resulted in perks (such as the coveted cancer cure) being withheld from family members. Upon learning that Edwards had fathered a baby with a campaign staffer, Elizabeth Edwards fury became tabloid fare. It was announced in the national press when she cut him out of her will (Source). One might wonder if her well-publicized rage was solely due to his infidelity or if she understood the price she was paying for his being kicked off the political gravy train. I mean, come on now. Remember Bill and Jennifer Flowers? JFK and Marilyn? Dwight Eisenhower and Kay Summersby? LBJ and Madeleine Brown? Powerful men tend to have powerful libidos and for many women, there is no aphrodisiac quite like a man with clout. When someone high enough on the political food chain is trashed by the press for what the DC Press Club knows nearly every powerful man does in his boudoir, then it is safe to assume that a very powerful someone (or someones) wants him out. Another upstart politico who recently succumbed to cancer was Canadian National Democratic Party (NDP) leader, Jack Layton. On May 2, 2011, he led his party to the most successful result in the NDPs history, winning 103 seatsenough to form Canadas Official Opposition. It was a short-lived victory for Layton, who succumbed to cancer on August 22, less than four months later. Layton was committed to ousting the conservative Harper government and the NDPs leftist policies are in stark contrast to the policies being promoted under the Stephen Harper reign. Prime Minister Harper is largely considered to be a faithful lap dog for US interests. Dr. Kevin Barrett also pointed to the cult classic, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, to buttress his argument that the CIA may have given Chavez cancer. Barrett writes: Barrett goes on to write: As the US has tended in recent years to obscure its blacker activities under plausible deniability, it doesnt take much imagination to figure that cancer would be a better cloak for murder than a bullet to the head. The evidence amassing that cures for cancer do indeed exist is becoming overwhelming.

Instead, we see a few upstart and inconvenient political figures who are succumbing to this disease. Whether or not the CIA gave Hugo Chavez cancer, one thing we can be sure of. They sure as shinola didnt give him the cure.
