'''Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías''' (b. July 28, 1954 – d. circa Dec. 11, 2012) <ref>https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-21476917 (obviously staged photo)</ref> was the [[leftist]] President of the Bolivarian Republic of [[Venezuela]] from 1999 to 2012. Chavez was not seen in public since he entered a Cuban hospital near death on December 11, 2012. Venezuela's [[socialist]] regime engaged in [[liberal denial]] about his death for nearly three months, even releasing a photo of an ostensibly fit and smiling Chavez. But on March 5, 2013, likely due to pressure from other nations that already knew Chavez had died, Venezuelan state media finally admitted Chavez was dead.<ref>[https://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/03/05/hugo-chavez-dead-at-58-good-riddance.html "Hugo Chavez dead at 58] "How little we know about the manner in which - or when - he died"</ref><ref>[http://apnews.myway.com/article/20130311/DA4UKU7G0.html Venezuela candidate: Govt exploits Chavez death]</ref>

A self-proclaimed [[socialist]] and [[collectivist]], his disastrous economic policies led to food shortages, quotas, and rationing in his oil-rich country, causing thousands to flee.<ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/venezuela/4938993/Venezuelas-Hugo-Chavez-tightens-state-control-of-food-amid-rocketing-inflation-and-food-shortages.html</ref>
After a campaign full of the promise of "esperanza y cambio" (hope and change),<ref>[https://www.prageru.com/sites/default/files/courses/transcripts/dsouza-hows_socialsim_doing_in_venezuela-transcript.pdf How's Socialism Doing In Venezuela?]</ref> Chávez assumed power as President in 1999 and pledged to aid Venezuela's poor majority.
Fraudulent elections were held in 2000 and in 2006, allowing Chavez to retain his [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]] power. As such it would be accurate to describe him as a [[dictator]].

*{{Venezuela blunder}}

Due to an illness, in early April 2012 Hugo Chavez asked [[God]] to spare his life.<ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/venezuela/9189962/Hugo-Chavez-weeps-and-calls-on-God-to-spare-his-life.html</ref>

==Election fraud==
Steven F. Hayward wrote: "While exit polls conducted by the very reliable American firm of Penn, Schoen, and Berland showed Chavez losing by a large margin (41 to 59), the official results put Chavez free and clear by a vote of 58 to 41 percent."<ref>[http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=5A8D0094-4590-4DFB-A7F0-C2E06A6820FB]</ref>

An eyewitness testified in a sworn affidavit:
{{quotebox|"President Chavez instructed me to make arrangements for him to meet with Jorge Rodriguez, then President of the National Electoral Council, and three executives from [[Smartmatic]]. Among the three Smartmatic representatives were [redacted]. President Chavez had multiple meetings with Rodriguez and the Smartmatic team at which I was present. In the first of four meetings, Jorge Rodriguez promoted the idea to create [[software]] that would manipulate [[election]]s. Chavez was very excited and made it clear that he would provide whatever Smartmatic needed. He wanted them immediately to create a voting system which would ensure that any time anything was going to be voted on the voting system would guarantee results that Chavez wanted. Chavez offered Smartmatic many inducements, including large sums of money, for Smartmatic to create or modify the voting system so that it would guarantee Chavez would win every election cycle. Smartmatic’s team agreed to create such a system and did so.

13. I arranged and attended three more meetings between President Chavez and the representatives from Smartmatic at which details of the new voting system were discussed and agreed upon. For each of these meetings, I communicated directly with [redacted] on details of where and when to meet, where the participants would be picked up and delivered to the meetings, and what was to be accomplished. At these meetings, the participants called their project the “Chavez revolution.” From that point on, Chavez never lost any election. In fact, he was able to ensure wins for himself, his party, Congress persons and mayors from townships.

14. Smartmatic’s electoral technology was called “Sistema de Gestión Electoral” (the “Electoral Management System”). Smartmatic was a pioneer in this area of computing systems. Their system provided for transmission of voting data over the internet to a computerized central tabulating center. The voting machines themselves had a digital display, fingerprint recognition feature to identify the voter, and printed out the voter’s ballot. The voter’s thumbprint was linked to a computerized record of that voter’s identity. Smartmatic created and operated the entire system.

15. Chavez was most insistent that Smartmatic design the system in a way that the system could change the vote of each voter without being detected. He wanted the software itself to function in such a manner that if the voter were to place their thumb print or fingerprint on a scanner, then the thumbprint would be tied to a record of the voter’s name and identity as having voted, but that voter would not tracked to the changed vote. He made it clear that the system would have to be setup to not leave any evidence of the changed vote for a specific voter and that there would be no evidence to show and nothing to contradict that the name or the fingerprint or thumb print was going with a changed vote. Smartmatic agreed to create such a system and produced the software and hardwarethat accomplished that result for President Chavez.

16. After the Smartmatic Electoral Management System was put in place, I closely observed several elections where the results were manipulated
using Smartmatic software. One such election was in December 2006 when Chavez was running against Rosales. Chavez won with a landslide over Manuel Rosales - a margin of nearly 6 million votes for Chavez versus 3.7 million for Rosales."<ref>https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.gand.283580/gov.uscourts.gand.283580.6.14.pdf</ref>}}
===Chavez Revolution===
A February 26, 2003 report by Robert Tracinski obliterates the left-wing mythology around Chavez:
<blockquote>
: '''Step one''': Chavez has initiated formal proceedings to revoke the licenses of independent, privately owned television and radio stations. Meanwhile, his political militias, the Bolivarian Circles, have staged violent attacks on independent media outlets. After all, elections don't mean much if all people watch is propaganda on state-run television.

: '''Step two''': Chavez has used a moratorium on currency conversion--needed to pay for imported goods--to punish his opponents. Vowing "no dollars for coup-mongers," he has used this power, for example, to prevent opposition newspapers from importing ink. After all, elections don't mean much if your opponents are too busy worrying where their next meal is coming from.

: '''Step three''': Venezuelan police acting on Chavez's orders have arrested Carlos Fernandez, the head of Venezuela's largest business federation and a leader of the recent anti-Chavez strike, charging him with rebellion and sabotage. Another strike leader, Carlos Ortega, head of Venezuela's largest labor union, has gone into hiding. In one move, Chavez has neutralized two potential rivals for the presidency. After all, elections don't mean much if all of the other candidates are in jail.

: '''Step four''': Last week, four protesters were kidnapped while returning from an anti-Chavez rally. They were blindfolded, tortured, and shot execution-style. Some of the victims were witnesses to a previous pro-Chavez political killing, and they had planned to testify against the shooter. Consider the message sent to the opposition when the mutilated bodies of their friends start showing up in the city streets. After all, elections don't mean much if your opponents are afraid to leave their houses and walk to the polls.

: '''Step five''': A few days ago, Chavez delivered a speech denouncing Spain, Colombia, and the US for interfering in Venezuela. This morning in Caracas, the diplomatic missions of Spain and Colombia were bombed. Credit was claimed by a splinter pro-Chavez group--but this was not a bunch of kids cooking up homemade bombs in their basement. The bombs were powerful plastic explosives, the kind of weapons that are difficult to obtain without government complicity.<ref>http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/world/americas/2514-dictatorship-by-the-numbers-in-venezuela.html {{dead link}}</ref>
</blockquote>

$4 billion was spent paying paramilitary groups to attack unarmed protestors and other dissidents during and after the elections.<ref>http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/world/americas/2968-venezuela-a-new-junket-for-a-dictator-s-best-friend-jimmy-carter.html</ref>

The [[European Union]] condemned the conditions placed on election monitors as unacceptable and declined to attend. The Carter Center was shut out for three days. Experts from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University have identified signs of fraud based on statistical analysis.<ref>http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/world/americas/3924-the-carter-stamp-of-approval-on-the-venueuzlan-election-less-than-worthless.html</ref>

==Human rights concerns==
Hugo Chávez was a great friend of the tyrannical [[Cuba]]n despot [[Fidel Castro]] and is said to have drawn his political style through influences such as [[Che Guevara]], [[Karl Marx]] and [[Simon Bolivar]]. The U.S. State Department ''Report on Global Anti-Semitism'' cited Chavez in August 2004 warning citizens against following the lead of Jewish citizens in the effort to overturn his referendum victory.<ref>[http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/40258.htm Report on Global Anti-Semitism] U. S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, [[Human Rights]], and Labor, January 5, 2005.</ref> Chavez also embraced a number of world leaders that have hostile relations with the United States, including Holocaust-denier [[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]], the then-President of [[Iran]], who Chavez has referred to as "my brother".<ref>[http://english.eluniversal.com/2006/07/31/en_pol_art_31A756133.shtml Chávez decorated in Iran; initials cooperation pacts]</ref> U.S. Speaker of the House of Representatives [[Nancy Pelosi]] said of Chavez, "Hugo Chavez fancies himself a modern-day [[Simon Bolivar]], but all he is is an everyday thug."<ref>[http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/pruden092206.php3 Back to the old days, if only for a minute], Wesley Pruden, ''Jewish World Review'', Sept. 22, 2006.</ref> He was also considered to be an ally of [[leftist]] [[Ecuador]]ian president [[Rafael Correa]], [[Bolivia]]n president [[Evo Morales]] and the president of [[Nicaragua]], [[Daniel Ortega]] ... all radical leftists.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6187364.stm Correa]</ref>

In May 2007, Chavez silenced the privately owned RCTV, the only remaining opposition television station critical of his regime and its repression, by revoking its licence and seizing its studios and infrastructure for the use of his newly formed state-run propaganda channel TVes.<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/venezuela/story/0,,2085952,00.html Chávez silences critical TV station], Rory Carroll, ''[[The Guardian]]'', May 23, 2007.</ref> Crowds of students demonstrated saying they feared for the future of human rights in Venezuela. National Guard troops were ordered to fire [[tear gas]] and [[rubber bullets]]. Two students were injured, a third was hit with a tear gas canister, and about 20 people needed emergency medical attention for inhaling tear gas.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070602122247/http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/05/28/ap3763178.html Troops Fire Upon Protesters in Venezuela], Fabiola Sanchez, [[Associated Press]], 05.28.07. Retrieved from [[Forbes.com]] 05/31/07.</ref> Chavez employed discrimination against [[migrant workers]] in the country.<ref>http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/world/americas/3924-the-carter-stamp-of-approval-on-the-venueuzlan-election-less-than-worthless.html</ref>

Chavez said, "I am going to go after those who resist the revolution and eliminate them one by one."<ref>[http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2007/jul/07/guest_commentary_we_must_help_venezuela_because_fr/ Because Freedom Matters], By U.S. Rep. Connie Mack IV and Blanquita Cullm, ''Naples Daily News'', July 7, 2007.</ref>

===Trafficking in Persons===
Venezuela under Chavez was on the U.S. State Department's Tier 3 list for [[trafficking in persons]] since 2004, which means that the government was categorized as one that has failed to make significant efforts to bring itself into compliance with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking in persons. The State Department's June 2007 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report maintains that Venezuela is a source, transit, and destination country for women and children trafficked for [[sexual exploitation]] and [[forced labor]].<ref>U.S. Department of State, [http://www.state.gov/g/tip/rls/tiprpt/2007/ Trafficking in Persons Report], June 12, 2007, p. 207.</ref>

==Relations with the United States==
[[File:Chavez Obama.jpg|thumb|At the Fifth Summit of the Americas.]]
Foreign relations between the [[United States of America]] and [[Venezuela]] are presently unstable. Chavez often hypocritically criticized the United States for its "imperialism" on his radio segment ''Alo Presidente'', and alleged the United States supported a 2002 coup in Venezuela which toppled Chávez momentarily and later removed by Chávez supporters, also known as "Chávistas". Venezuela is heavily dependent upon trade revenue from oil sales to the United States. Chavez has founded [[Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas|ALBA]] an international organization of leftist countries on the [[Caribic]]s and Southern America. Chavez said that the ALCA is a "instrument of imperialism".

===Terrorism===
In May 2006, the State Department determined that, pursuant to Section 40A of the [[Arms Export Control Act]], Venezuela was not fully cooperating with U.S. [[antiterrorism]] efforts. This triggered a prohibition on the sale or license of defense articles and services to Venezuela. Other countries on the Section 40A list include [[Cuba]], [[Iran]], [[North Korea]], and [[Syria]], not to be confused with the "state sponsors of
terrorism" list under Section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of 1979, which currently includes Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. The State Department asserted that the Section 40A determination was based on Venezuela's near lack of antiterrorism cooperation over the last year, citing its support for Iraqi insurgents and Iran's development of nuclear capabilities, the country's status as a safe haven for Colombian and Basque terrorist groups, and its effort to derail hemispheric efforts to advance counter-terrorism policies in the OAS. In May 2007, the State Department again included Venezuela in its annual Section 40A determination that it was not cooperating fully with U.S. antiterrorism efforts.

In late April 2007, the State Department issued its annual Country Reports on Terrorism, which asserted that President Chávez "persisted in public criticism of U.S. counterterrorism efforts, deepened Venezuelan relationships with Iran and Cuba, and was unwilling to prevent Venezuelan territory from being used as a safe haven" by Colombian terrorist groups.

There have been long-held suspicions that Chávez has supported leftist Colombian guerrillas, although Chávez denies such support. The State Department's terrorism report maintains that units of Colombia's two leftist terrorist groups — the [[Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia]] (FARC) and the [[National Liberation Army]] (ELN) — often crossed into Venezuela "to rest and regroup with relative impunity."

In addition, according to the report, splinter groups of the FARC and a rightist terrorist group, the [[AUC|United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia]] (AUC) reportedly operate in various parts of the country and are involved in drug trafficking. The report maintained, however, that "it remained unclear to what extent the Venezuelan Government provided material support to Colombian terrorists."

In addition, according to the report, Venezuelan citizenship, identity, and travel documents remained easy to obtain, making the country a potentially attractive waystation for terrorists. In July 13, 2006, congressional testimony, the State Department's Principal Deputy Coordinator for Counterterrorism, Frank Urbancic, asserted that the United States was detaining increasing numbers of third-country aliens at its borders carrying falsified or fraudulently issued Venezuelan documents. U.S. officials also have expressed concerns about President Chávez's close relationship with Cuba's Fidel Castro, but Chávez defends his relationship with Cuba. Overall Venezuelan support to Cuba is estimated to be more than $2 billion a year.<ref>Frances Robles and Phil Gunson, ''Cuba Spotlights Chávez Friendship,'' [[Miami Herald]], January 26, 2007.</ref> Venezuela supplies some 90,000 barrels of oil per day to Cuba on a concessionary basis under PetroCaribe. In return, Venezuela has received support from thousands of Cuban health care workers and sports instructors in the country.

During an April 2005 trip to Cuba, Presidents Chávez and Castro announced commercial deals worth over $400 million, including a joint shipyard to build small navy ships and a joint housing construction company. In January 2007, a delegation of Cuban officials visited Caracas and signed a number of agreements to increase economic linkages, including an agreement for joint oil exploration in both countries.

PdVSA is also involved in refurbishing an unfinished oil refinery in Cienfuegos, Cuba. Beyond Latin America, the Bush Administration has expressed concerns with Venezuela's growing relations with Iran. In February 2006, Secretary of State Rice referred to Venezuela, along with Cuba, as "sidekicks" of Iran in reference to those countries’ votes in the International Atomic Energy Agency against reporting Iran to the U.N. Security Council over its uranium enrichment program.<ref>Pablo Bachelet, "Rice Bashes Venezuelan Leader, Politics," [[Miami Herald]], February 17, 2006; House International Relations Committee, Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2007 International Affairs Budget, Testimony of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, February 16, 2006.</ref> In testimony before the Senate Select Intelligence Committee in February 2006, Director of National Intelligence [[John Negroponte]] expressed concern that President Chávez "is seeking closer economic, military, and diplomatic ties with Iran and North Korea."<ref>Senate Select Intelligence Committee, Hearing on World Wide Threats, Testimony of Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte, February 2, 2006.</ref> ran and Venezuela signed an agreement for a $200 million fund to finance joint investment and social projects, and commercial agreements in the early stages include plans for a cement factory, oil exploration in the Orinoco River belt, and a joint operation to build oil and liquid natural gas tankers.<ref>Steven Dudley, "Chávez’s Wooing of Iran Called Troubling," [[Miami Herald]], March 2, 2006.</ref> During a visit by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Venezuela in mid-January 2007, the two countries announced they would use a $2 billion investment fund to finance projects in both countries and other countries as well.<ref>Simon Romero, ''Iranian President Visits Venezuela to Strengthen Ties,'' [[The New York Times]], January 14, 2007.</ref>

Some Members of Congress have expressed concerns about relations between Venezuela and Iran. In the 110th Congress, H.Res. 435 (Klein) would, among its provisions, express concern over national security implications of the relationship between the leaders of Iran and Venezuela.

According to the ''[[Washington Post]]'' Chavez was accused of supplying weapons to Colombian rebels, of financing Bolivian and Ecuadorian groups seeking to establish "Marxist" states, and of being, with Cuban leader Fidel Castro's guidance, a "[[subversion (political)|subversive]]" everywhere else in the region.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/25/AR2005082501420.html?nav=rss_world/centralamerica ''Dealing With the Good and Bad Hugo Chavez''], Marcela Sanchez, [[The Washington Post]] 25 August 2005.</ref>

==Expropriation==
[[Image:Hugo-chavez8.jpg|left|175px|thumb|Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez with Fidel Castro.]]

In typical socialist rhetoric, Chavez made wild claims to fund the government by nationalizing foreign assets. Typical reasons included accusing companies of environmental damage and exploiting its workers. In 2010 alone, Chavez seized 195 companies.<ref>[http://english.eluniversal.com/2010/10/20/en_eco_art_a-total-of-195-busin_20A4631291.shtml A total of 195 businesses has been seized in 2010, El Universal, October 20, 2010]</ref> Spanish-owned farm supply and U.S.-based Ohio bottle company were recently taken over. Other recognized multi-national companies such ExxonMobil, steel maker Sidor, cement company CEMEX fell to the same fate.<ref>[http://wellsy.wordpress.com/2010/10/26/chavez-takes-over-venezuelan-plants-of-oh-company/ Chavez takes over Venezuelan plants of OH company, Wellsy's World, October 26, 2010]</ref> Venezuela is supposed to compensate the companies but nobody expects Chavez to provide other than peanuts for assets he steals.

Through Venezuela's state-owned petroleum industry and membership in [[OPEC]], Chávez used powers granted to him by Parliament to increase oil prices, adding revenue for the Bolivarianist projects. Countries such as the United States have criticized Chávez for the increase in cost for crude oil. Chavez was at the forefront of wanting to set crude oil prices at $60 a barrel minimum, according to the ''Asia Times''<ref>[http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/HL07Dj01.html ''Bush, OPEC and Chavez of Arabia''], Pepe Escobar, Asia Times, 7 December 2006.</ref> The state-owned oil company PDVSA is estimated to have spent in excess of $120 million sponsoring the [[Formula 1]] team, Williams F1, so that they would give the Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado a seat.

==Anti-Semitism==
[[File:Chavez ahmad.jpg|thumb|Hugo Chavez and Holocaust denier [[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]]]]
Chavez was known to be fiercely [[Anti-Semitism|anti-Semitic]],<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20080914010858/http://www.commentarymagazine.com/viewarticle.cfm/hugo-ch-vez-s-jewish-problem-11455
</ref> which was the likely reason for his friendship and political alliance with Iranian dictator and [[Holocaust denial|Holocaust denier]] [[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]].<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/04/AR2008020402428.html</ref> As a result of the anti-Semitic policies of the Chavez regime and the wave of violent attacks on Venezuelan Jews that it caused, the [[Jewish]] population of Venezuela decreased by more than 50 percent within a decade of Chavez coming to power.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20160407204756/http://www.worldjewishdaily.com/venezuela.php</ref>

==Drug problem in Venezuela==
The ''[[Associated Press]]'' reported in July 2007 that since Chavez's ascension to power, illegal narcotics passing through Venezuela from [[Colombia]] has risen by as much as 30 tons a year and now accounts for roughly a third of the world's supply of [[cocaine]]. Mildred Camero who was in charge of Venezuela's anti-drug efforts stated, "[[Caracas]] is replacing [[Bogota]] as a center of everything related to drug operations." Camero was fired in 2005 after reporting high-level corruption.<ref>[https://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/07/01/ap3875048.html Venezuela Becomes Cocaine Conduit], By Ian James and Frank Bajak, ''[[Associated Press]]'', 1 July 2007. Retrieved from [[Forbes.com]] 8 July 2007.</ref>

In 2008 Chavez revealed that he himself regularly chews coca leafs, the leafs from which cocaine is made. This is a common custom in that area of South America.<ref>[http://uk.reuters.com/article/2008/01/26/uk-venezuela-chavez-coca-idUKN2638848320080126 Venezuela's Chavez swaps coffee for coca in speech], [[Reuters]]</ref>

==Religious views==
Though Chavez claimed to be a devout Catholic, he has had public disputes with the Church before. Chavez demanded that [[Pope Benedict]] apologize for saying the Roman Catholic Church purified Indians in Latin America. Chavez called the treatment of Indians after [[Christopher Columbus]] landed in 1492 a "holocaust".<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSN1819661120070519 Chavez demands Pope apologize for Indian comments], [[Reuters]], May 19, 2007</ref> In addition, he denounced Catholic leaders, claiming they "cared more about the rich than the poor". After his condition continued to deteriorate due to cancer, Chavez became more overtly religious, calling on God to help him.<ref>http://www.christianpost.com/news/the-significance-of-hugo-chavezs-death-and-faith-91410/</ref>

==2011–2012 Health Crisis and subsequent cover-up and Constitutional Crisis==
On June 30, 2011, the 56-year-old President admitted, in a televised speech, to having cancer.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-13991906]</ref> He sought treatment, to no avail, in Brazil.<ref>http://latindispatch.com/2011/07/14/hugo-chavez-to-receive-cancer-treatment-in-brazil/</ref>

Despite being aware of his condition, Chavez chose to run again for President. On October 7, 2012, a terminally ill Chávez won election as president for a fourth time, defeating Henrique Capriles.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/2012/10/08/venezuela-election-idUSL1E8L70WK20121008</ref>

Chavez was not seen since December 11, 2012, the last time he appeared in public, when he was admitted to a hospital in Cuba. He may have died on this date or shortly afterward. However, the Cuban and Venezuelan Communists attempted to keep his death secret, and pretended he was alive for another two and a half months, going as far as using his [[Twitter]] account to post fake messages from a supposedly recovering Chavez.

Chavez should have taken the oath of office on January 10, 2013, the necessary step to assume the presidency for his new period. However, Venezuela's Supreme Court ignored the provisions of the Venezuelan Constitution (reformed by Chavez himself in 1999) and allowed Chavez to become president without taking the oath of office, thus doing away with any remaining semblance of constitutional government.

On February 18, it was announced by the Chavez regime that Chavez had returned to Venezuela to finish his recovery.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/02/18/president-chavez-returns-to-venezuela-from-cuba-after-months-medical-treatment/</ref> The then-Venezuelan vice-president [[Nicolás Maduro]] claimed that Chavez had been flown in secrecy from [[Havana]] to [[Caracas]] in the early hours of the morning to avoid possible attacks from his enemies. The two top floors of Caracas' military hospital were sealed from the public, with Chavez supposedly recovering on the eighth floor and the seventh floor closed to guarantee his security. On March 5, the Venezuelan ''de facto'' government finally ended the charade and announced that Chavez had died, claiming also that his cancer and death had been the result of an assassination plot by "the historical enemies of the Fatherland" (referring to the United States and the Venezuelan democratic opposition). On March 7, Maduro announced that Chavez's body should be embalmed and put on permanent display inside a glass tomb, thus imitating the treatment given to the corpses of other Communist dictators like [[Vladimir Lenin|Lenin]], [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]], [[Klement Gottwald]], [[Georgi Dimitrov]], [[Mao Zedong]], [[Ho Chi Minh]], [[Kim Il-Sung]] and [[Kim Jong-Il]].<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/03/07/chavez-body-embalmed-to-be-permanently-on-display/ Chavez's body embalmed, to be permanently on display], [[Fox News]] (March 7, 2013)</ref> But this was canceled because Chavez's body would otherwise have to be brought for a time to Russia to do the embalming.

==Personal Wealth==
Around the time that Hugo Chavez passed away, reports surfaced that he had amassed a personal wealth of over a billion dollars.<ref>[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2289427/Was-Hugo-Chavez-worth-1bn-died-Claims-amassed-huge-fortune-countrys-oil-wealth.html#ixzz3kOYeG7al Was Chavez worth over $1bn when he died? Intelligence analyst claims he amassed huge fortune from country's oil wealth], [[Daily Mail]]</ref> Some reports put his personal wealth at $2 billion.<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/venezuela/9993238/Venezuela-the-wealth-of-Chavez-family-exposed.html Venezuela: the wealth of Chavez family exposed], [[Daily Telegraph]]</ref>

New reports have come out detailing his daughter's wealth. María Gabriela is reported to be a billionaire, worth over $4 billion,<ref>[https://dailycaller.com/2015/08/10/iron-fisted-socialism-benefited-hugo-chavezs-daughter-to-the-tune-of-billions-reports-say/ Iron-Fisted Socialism Benefited Hugo Chavez’s Daughter To The Tune Of BILLIONS, Reports Say] [[Daily Caller]]</ref> which would make her the richest person in [[Venezuela]].<ref>[http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/news/2015/08/10/hugo-chavez-daughter-is-richest-individual-in-venezuela-report-claims/ Hugo Chávez daughter is the richest individual in Venezuela, report claims], [[Fox News]]</ref>

Socialist dictators are known for ransacking the people they claim to support. [[Muammar al-Gaddafi]] was one of the richest people in the world when he died. Neither Gaddafi nor Chavez did anything in their lives that would have earned them this kind of wealth.

==Quotes from Hugo Chavez==
* On closure of RCTV, claiming the network's broadcasts amounted to a "permanent attack on public morals" with cartoons that were "poisoned with hatred, violence and even sex."

* "Private banks have to give priority to financing the industrial sectors of Venezuela at low cost...If banks don't agree with this, it's better that they go, that they turn over the banks to me."

This page appears fine to me. Citations are needed throughout the article, but as far as everything else goes, I approve. [[User:ColinR|ColinR]] 05:18, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

==Date Of Chavez's Death==

No offence, but this is absurd. Why are we calling ourselves an Encyclopedia if we're letting our biases and prejudices be used in lieu of verifiable evidence? If we had verifiable evidence it would be proudly plastered (this is based on observation of the nature and personality of this wikia) but it's not. All i get in response to my revisions fixing the date of his death to March 5th and addressing the suspicions (as there is some question) which is set as being around Dec 11th is "its obvious he died months ago!" with no citations beyond an article questioning on his actual death date. This appears to be based on nothing more than prejudice against liberals and calling them liars. If i'm incorrect in my assessment and wish to provide more reasoning beyond y'all's position feel free to do so. If y'all truly call yourselves a trust worthy encyclopedia for the sake of integrity in the project provide sound evidence for the basis of your conclusion beyond suspicions as gut feelings are not substitutions for verifiable facts. I refuse to get sucked into an edit war but this is ridiculous. I do not expect to be listened to I just want to put this out there. [[user:dsherman]]

::: Maybe the question should be, "how can someone who continues to hold democratic elections at the frequency prescribed in the nations constitution (Like Mr. Chavez for example) be called a dictator?" The answer to that question is, he cannot. Because he isn't. Like it or not, Hugo Chavez is the democraticly elected leader of a democratic country and any suggestion that he is a dictator is little more than an insult to democracy. How can this website call Chavez a Dictator, but not someone like General [[Pinochet]] of Chile??? This 'encyclopedia' gets progressively more ridiculous by the day. Unless someone either 'locks this page for editing' or gives me some very good evidence to suggest that I am wrong about Mr. Chavez and his democratic government I will delete the word 'Dictator' from this entry.
:::::: Oh look, how suprising. It's already been locked. That's it. I've had enough of Conservapedia. You have to look less hard to find the truth in UNcyclopedia than Conservapedia. At least they admit they are a comedy parody of the truth. And at least they dont get all angry because I choose to spell suprising with an 's' instead of a 'z'.

::We 'wouldn't' say that Hitler was Germany's "president," considering that he abolished the office after Paul von Hindenburg's death. Nor was he democratically elected. He was 'appointed' to the chancellorship by Hindenburg, and then assumed presidential powers after Hindenburg's death that he was never intended to have. Hence, as Chavez is a democratically elected head of state, you need greater evidence that he is a "dictator." [[User:Agnapostate|Agnapostate]] 01:02, 23 December 2008 (EST)

== Irony ==

Guys, you lost me at "Repressive Dictator". Can you really not see the irony in this skewed, worthless article namecalling democratically elected foreign (to you) leaders?. Someone please kill this article as it is embarassed by it's own existence.

Can anyone actually explain the point of this article; a blinkered, one sided repressive waste of time projecting its own ignorance onto others. Really there is no point to it. {{unsigned|Mrivpond}}

== What a disgrace. ==

How can anyone seriously type that he is a repressive dictator? He was democratically election every single time, his new bid to remove term limits is being done by REFERENDUM.. are you guys on something, how is he a dictator in '''ANY WAY'''?

And don't get me started on this RCTV stuff, he closed it down because it actively called for a violent revolution against him, and then when that actually occured and an ACTUAL DICTATORSHIP was put in place, it just ran anti-Chavez ads the entire time, then when the dictatorship was crumbling as the people fought back to put Chavez back in, instead of running actual news saying this, it showed dramas like the Bold and the Beautiful. And so when it came around the renewing the liscence for it, he refused. '''ANY COUNTRY WOULD DO THIS''', If there was a television channel in the United States actively calling for a violent revolution against the US government and falsifying news, what do you think the US government would do? The exact same. PLUS, RCTV can still be viewed on cable television.

It also is in ''no way'' the only anti-Chavez media source in the country, most media in the country are hostile to Chavez. [[User:Pallawish]]

'''Scorpion'''[[User_Talk:Scorpion|Vote for Pedro]] 14:22, 29 November 2007 (EST)

== Dictator ==

I want to agree with the views expressed above. I am by no means a fan of Chavez; he is a manipulative, power-hungry, buffoonish demagogue who may yet drive his country into the ground and is stripping away his citizens' freedom. But he is absolutely ''not'' a dictator. A dictator has total or near-total control of the government; Chavez, whatever he may wish, is still heavily hamstrung by the apparatus of Venezuela's democracy. He has had to refer many of his measures to the voters, and was recently handed a defeat which he could do nothing about. You can call him a dictator-wannabe or repressive, but it ill-serves the credibility of Conservapedia to say he is something he is not. [[User:Tor|Tor]] 16:53, 2 March 2008 (EST)
:Thank You Tor to are completely correct on this one. You know I am beginning to have my doubts about whether this website is being edited in good faith. Chavez is not perfect, and has done a lot of things to harm his country's economy and its people but a dictater? Well that's nonsense and for our encyclopedia to say so because we dislike his economic and social positions, well that's nonsense on stilts.--[[User:DamianJohn|DamianJohn]] 08:59, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

Anyone here heard the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra? No? I thought not. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 22:54, 12 August 2008 (EDT)

=="Silencing" the Media==
''"In May 2007, Chavez silenced the only remaining opposition television station critical of his repression by revoking its licence."''
This claim has more problems than the "non-American spelling," which has caused Conservapedia to be critical of Wikipedia in the past. It is outright disingenuous to claim that Chavez "silenced" RCTV because they were "critical of his repression." RCTV's license was simply not renewed; it was not "revoked." And the reason that it was not renewed is because five years prior, RCTV had openly endorsed the overthrow of the democratically elected President Chavez. If a news outlet in the U.S. had openly called for the overthrow of Bush, and Bush was temporarily removed from power, it's likely that the persons responsible would be imprisoned and charged with treason, not have their license not renewed five years after the fact. --[[User:Agnapostate|Agnapostate]] 21:28, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

'''2002 coup'''

I am alarmed at the only passing mention of the 2002 coup perpetrated by the extreme right. I no one minds I am going to add a section in on it.

== Reliable Sources? ==

I notice most of these sources come from the State Department. Some of these seem to be without proof or trustworthy information (mainly right wing media).

Is there any information from other sources pending to allegations of terrorism or human trafficking from sources other than the State Department? If there is I can't find any. So is all that information extremely relevant of reliable?
::Please don't erase information you don't like. Instead, if you know some reliable sources with conservative information, please provide them. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 17:13, 16 October 2009 (EDT)

:The word of one man is hardly a reliable source that you have cited. There was no election fraud. I simply erased it as it had no basis in fact. The election was verified by the Venezuelan government (without controversy claimed) and many international observers (including those from Canada.) I was simply removing information that was by any standard unacceptable and uncredited.
--[[User:Cidd11|Cidd11]] 17:23, 16 October 2009 (EDT)
Once again I am removing the article on Election Fraud. I cannot stress the need for a reliable source on this subject. The opinion of one man does not constitute a reliable source. I also do not feel obligated to provide proof that he won the election as that would be a moot point towards this article. --[[User:Cidd11|Cidd11]] 12:02, 20 October 2009 (EDT)
::C'mon, Chavez is a power freak. He is a master manipulator who has Cidd11 defending a tyrant-wannabe results. Someone check if Wikipedia whitewashes the election. Someone see if Carter gave his stamp of approval.--[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 12:12, 20 October 2009 (EDT)
:::Here's a source from a left-wing rag (Washington Post) which hints at election fraud [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A4208-2004Aug16.html], as well as the numbers cited in the source you removed.

[[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 12:22, 20 October 2009 (EDT)

If your attempting to prove this "election fraud" with media rants and unsourced news articles you go a long way from promoting facts. As I have said you are not providong any reliable sources to his election fraud other than these rants. I can give you the election results from the Venezuelan government (to which may I say ''again'' no one in Venezuela disputes the results. Perhaps members of the right-wing media but other wise it is a legitimate election) though i doubt you will give them any stock. I can provide you with sources saying he was elected freely. But they are not conservative or liberal. Honestly please try not to inject a useless bias into this discussion just because you wish to brand him a dictator. All I am pointing out is that you are not using any facts to back up this claim other than biased anti-Chavez news articles! I don't care whose liberal and whose not! I simply cannot support a lie!--[[User:Cidd11|Cidd11]] 13:16, 20 October 2009 (EDT)
:Now you're calling the above sources "media rants", as if you are determining what is news and what is not. You're also pushing to some degree the election results in Venezuela ''as provided by the Chavez-controlled Venezuelan government'' as though it was fact. You're completely-ignoring Carter's role in this, and he's on record as supporting every socialistic/dictatorship government in which an election was disputed. If you say that election fraud in Venezuela didn't happen, ''then you prove it'' by using the totally unbiased sources which you claim exist. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 13:32, 20 October 2009 (EDT)

==Carter==
I agree that some of the wording could be changed in the article. You suggest that is was a fair election because Carter says it was. That is nonsense. Carter is a racist Jew basher and an apologist for terrorists. His word is worth as much as a handful of dirt. --[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 01:14, 10 December 2009 (EST)
:No I suggest we add a source that was used worldwide regarding the election which was ultimately accepted as fair by everybody who wasn't an opposition spokesperson or who's mates didn't want to get their hands on a few billion dollars of oil each year. You're trying to censor even the inclusion of that information and maintain a false impression of the election rather than allowing the reader to make up their own mind. Have to go out now but I'll change some of the wording and in a seperate edit add this information in a neutral way and you can then decide. [[User:Rutger|Rutger]] 01:26, 10 December 2009 (EST)
Nonsense. Nobody thought this election was fair, and trying to deprive our readership of the knowledge that it was a rigged election is censorship. Your goal isn't to make the article more informative, but LESS informative, and your edit is designed to influence Conservapedia readers in favor of Chavez and socialism. There's nothing biased about saying an election was probably rigged if it was probably rigged.[[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 01:32, 10 December 2009 (EST)
::Nonsense yourself. One or two ratbags claiming something doesn't make it true and as per Andy this website operates on a concensus of facts, not the opinions of a few. Almost everyone (eventually, many claimed like you did there was fraud initially but gave up once they failed to find evidence of it) thought the election was fair except the opposition, those involved in the previous coup attempt and hardcore capitalists. Even Fox gave up on claiming they were fraudulent. You see the problem with the theory that it was rigged is how did he rig his first election? The next two? How did he rig the massive amount of popular support which overthrew the coup attempt? How did he physically "rig it"? '''And lastly, and very importantly, why did he rig the elections but not the referendum which would have given him greater power?''' I know it's strange that poor people wouldn't vote to support large companies and disgustingly greedy wealth distribution but it really did happen.

My latest edit didn't see DamianJohn's edit comment. At this point it seems more detail is fine.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 19:11, 5 March 2013 (EST)

== Biblical Truths ==
Long time reader, first time poster. Testing the waters on this page with something I think should be included on all of the pages of deceased enemies of conservative Christianity: that those who deny the Biblical truths of Jesus Christ are destined to spend eternity in hell for their rejection of Salvation. This would be in keeping with the un-PC truth that Conservapedia is famous for as well as a warning for the libs that read and mock our work here. I included it under the "religious" section as I found that to be the best fit for this article. If the admins agree that this is a logical idea, which I hope they do, it could be worded or arranged any way deemed appropriate. Perhaps in the side panel along side place of birth, place of death, etc.? --[[User:Kmatthews|Kmatthews]] 20:03, 25 July 2013 (EDT)

== Chavez and Christianity ==

Looking for some sources right now, but I have heard he was a devout Christian and there is no mention of that in the article.Gonna add what I can find on him and religion. Putting this here to see other people's thoughts.-[[User:Scatach|Scatach]] ([[User talk:Scatach|talk]]) 22:26, 18 August 2015 (EDT)

There is nothing wrong with Hugo Chavez asking god to save his life. I am removing that from the article as that attack on him for that reason is distasteful and appalling.

Being pro choice IS LEFT WING. Most Americans who support abortion being legalized would agree to pray to whatever god they have for women to keep their babies if someone asked them to do so and that is a fact. Over 66 percent of Americans are either pro life, personally pro life but want abortion to be legal, neutral on abortion, apolitical on abortion, or are mixed on abortion. Any poll that says otherwise is FAKE. Americans who are pro choice are only that way because they don't want the government to get involved in the decisions, not because they endorse abortion. The majority of Americans hate abortion ,they just don't want the government playing god. If you don't believe this, your mind is warped.

Over 80 percent of Americans are against late term abortion and that is a fact

Over 75 Americans would prefer marriage to be privatized for both straight and gay couples then for marriage to be the way it is NOW for both straight and gay couples and that is a fact. Americans may support gay people's rights to marry but over 80 percent of Americans who support gay marriage, either personally don't support gays doing gay things, personally are neutral on gays doing gay things, or are personally apolitical on gays doing gay things.

Being for gun control IS LEFT WING. No true conservative would ever support gun control. Gun control is evil, wrong and disgusting and anyone who supports gun control is not a true American.

Being pro choice IS LEFT WING. Most Americans who support abortion being legalized would agree to pray to whatever god they have for women to keep their babies if someone asked them to do so and that is a fact. Over 66 percent of Americans are either pro life, personally pro life but want abortion to be legal, neutral on abortion, apolitical on abortion, or are mixed on abortion. Any poll that says otherwise is FAKE. Americans who are pro choice are only that way because they don't want the government to get involved in the decisions, not because they endorse abortion. The majority of Americans hate abortion ,they just don't want the government playing god. If you don't believe this, your mind is warped.

Over 80 percent of Americans are against late term abortion and that is a fact

Over 75 Americans would prefer marriage to be privatized for both straight and gay couples then for marriage to be the way it is NOW for both straight and gay couples and that is a fact. Americans may support gay people's rights to marry but over 80 percent of Americans who support gay marriage, either personally don't support gays doing gay things, personally are neutral on gays doing gay things, or are personally apolitical on gays doing gay things.
If there were at least 2 or 3 more biological sexes of people on Earth instead of just 2 biological sexes, then in that hypothetical situation, over 70 percent of Americans alive today would be against gay marriage and that is a fact.

Listen up Far left Democrat. You have no place on this site, go edit Wikipedia with your other far left commie friends. We don't accept far left people like you on this site. You are delusional about politics and our country.

Democratic Socialism, Socialism , Communism, and non neoliberal Social Democracy are terrible, evil and disgusting. The USSR which was a socialist country was oppressive. Mao Zedong was an evil dictator fascist murderer. Those happiest country polls and quality of life polls are biased. Third Way-Neo Liberal-Fiscally centrist-conservatives Social Democracy, Democratic Capitalism, Neoliberalism, Capitalism, Libertarianism are the only good fiscal policies and over 90 percent of Americans and Canadians would agree with me and you can't prove otherwise unless you use bias polls like Gallup poll. Democratic Socialism, Socialism , Communism, and non neoliberal Social Democracy are evil, disgusting, systems that need to be destroyed.

About me:

I am a conservative Republican
https://jngrks11272.blogspot.com/

My views:

I am personally and begrudgingly against gay marriage (and I begrudgingly don't believe that gay marriage should be legal).

However, I am open minded to and strongly emphasize with the idea that civil unions should be legal for gay couples. The reason is because the US is not a Theocracy but a Democratic Republic. Give to Caesar what is Caesar ,we live in a Democratic Republic and thus because of that, I am open minded to and strongly empathize with the idea that civil unions for gays should be legal. The issue of gay marriage is settled now anyway so it is a dead issue.

I would support gay marriage ONLY if marriage is privatized for both heterosexual couples and gay couples (marriage should be privatized because the government should stay out of the marriage business)

No matter what we should always pray for God to make gay people live the lives that he knows is best for them which is obviously being straight and we should always live Christ centered lives so gay people can see Christ in us and decide to become Christian which will lead to them being straight)

I am against gay conversion therapy being banned, and I think that it should be legal. Whatever we think about gay conversion therapy, the government really has no right to censor it regardless of whether its real science or pseudo science.

This view of mine is especially due to my Libertarian leanings. However, gays should not be forced or even encouraged to get gay conversion therapy. They should only get that therapy if they truly want it and ask for it. Some people (not me) wonder why Gay conversion therapy is banned while Gender Dysphoria therapy is legal. Even if gay therapy doesn't work (and yes it probably never works), it may have therapeutic effects on gays or even provide a living study in how to spot pseudo science (and if its banned, there goes that living study). Many gays support gay conversion therapy being legal and even a few think (albeit probably wrongly) that it works.

If there were 5 or more biological sexes of people on Earth instead of just 2 biological sexes, in that hypothetical world I would openly say that being gay is wrong and that people should not be gay under any circumstances since there would be at least 4 opposite biological sexes of people to choose from for them to be in a romantic relationship with.

As it is now, on whether I think people should be gay or if I think people being gay is wrong, I plead the fifth. I will say that I am not a gay rights activist and I am not an ally of the gay movement. I truly believe that gay people are much happier and healthier as straight people than they are as gay people. I believe that gay people can only get true freedom once they become straight, hence why I have my views.

I am against Lesbian Erasure. Whether we agree with their actions or not, they should not be encouraged to or forced to be fluid or to transition to another gender. If we are going to give homosexuals visibility in the LGBTQ movement, I believe its only fair to give Lesbians equal visibility within the LGBTQ movement too.

I am against Heterophobia, there is nothing wrong or oppressive about being heterosexual

I take a Conservative Liberal stance on the Transgender issue. I believe that transgender people are the gender God sees them as. Some of the many transgender views I hold are listed below and will reflect that.

It is NOT transphobic for non transgender people to not want to date transgender people.

I believe transgender women should not be allowed to get cervical cancer screenings since they don't have those organs and I believe that transgender men should be allowed to get cervical and breast cancer screenings.

I am against Polygamy and open marriages and want them to stay illegal forever. Monogamy is 100000x times better

I am personally Pro Life except for rape and incest. I personally am neutral to lean pro choice (up until the third trimester) for women who are pregnant via rape or incest. I am personally apolitical on abortion to save the life of the mother. My personal pro life decision is for personal reasons only, my mom almost lost me when she was pregnant with me. However, my personal and legal opinion on this issue differ.

As for the legalization of abortion, I am PLIAN (Pro Life in all but a name) on the legal aspects of it

Legality wise, I am against abortion being legal after 18 weeks except for rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. However if a baby who is conceived via rape or incest survives an abortion, I'd want that baby to get full medical care like any baby would and if they were denied medical care, I'd want the doctor and or nurse to be fired and charged with medical negligence.

I would prefer if the US and other countries keep abortion legal through 18 weeks and not add any restrictions on it while at the same time the US and other countries find some new, outside the box, never seen before but legal methods to make abortions almost as non existent as they would be if we reversed Roe v Wade AND prevented nearly all illegal abortions at the same time (in a way where the mother has full control over the decision and where her decision doesn't have any negative effect on her).

One of the ways I want abortion to be legal while heavily reducing the amount of abortions would be using the Compassionate Conservative approach of having private companies, charities and religious organizations give lucrative incentives for pregnant women who consider having abortions to have careful consideration and consultation with their families, physicians and clergy on their decision while then giving them more incentives if they then agree to hear stories of abortion survivors, before deferring to the women and their doctors in a way that where we know they covered their bases.

This isn't because we think women can't make the best decision. If men could also become pregnant and have babies, I'd use the above proposal for them too.

Another way I'd want the government to keep abortion legal while heavily reducing the amount of abortions would be to use Compassionate Conservative approach of getting private health companies, charities and religious organizations to heavily influence pregnant woman who show signs of wanting an abortion to consider planned c-sections as an alternative to having an abortion. Furthermore under this policy, I'd want the government to open more adoption centers throughout the country especially near abortion clinics along with having the government make it so its easy for women to give up their newborn babies for adoption and for those newborn babies to find a new home fast. Plus with this policy , I'd want women to have incentives for giving up their newborn babies for adoption. This would provide alternatives to abortion.

As mentioned above, if men could also become pregnant and have babies, I'd use the above proposal for them too.

I support parental consent laws requiring minors under 17 to get permission for an abortion from their parents (except in cases of rape, incest , to save the life of the minor or some extremely rare cases)

I support parental notification for a minor getting an abortion.

I want partial birth abortion and live birth abortion to be illegal even for babies conceived via rape and incest.

I support the Hyde Amendment

Ronald Reagan once said "the only people who are pro choice are people who are alive"

I never donate to any pro choice company and I never have and I never will encourage women to have abortions, if they ask me if they should keep the baby I always tell them to keep the baby. I never campaign for or vote for any pro choice political candidate unless in most situations.

If I was a politician I'd push hard to get my Pro Life in All But a Name policies above implemented (or at least open the door for them getting implemented one day). I'd probably get a NARAL score in the 70s or 80s if I was a House member.

I encourage everyone to aggressively pray for women to keep their children, even if they conceived that child through rape or incest (if that is best for God and the woman).

I'd also want children aged 11–12 to get proper sex education before they graduate elementary school and then continue sex education into their teens so that children and teens know how not to get pregnant, if they use common sense, and have more access anticonceptives which should be made available to them with some common sense restrictions. I'd want children and teens to be taught sex education methods approve of by Christian groups and family groups only.

In addition, along with sex education, I'd also teach kids and teens abstinence. I am pro abstinence.

I am against Prostitution being legal or decriminalized but the buyer should go to prison not the sex worker.

I support feminism to an extent. But there are a lot of feminist things (especially forth and fifth wave things) that I am against (like that Lego complaint years ago by feminists, or the view by feminists that all men are rapists, or feminists saying that that video game designer from Puerto Rico was misogynist or should be fired for his gamer gate comments, or feminist complaints that Jurassic World was a sexist movie, or downplaying Valerie Solanas's extremism, or complaints about how women are portrayed in most video games, or feminist complaints about urinals, those type of feminist views like that and some other views I loathe and strongly disagree with).

I believe there is nothing wrong with men showing chivalry to women and I know that chivalry is not sexist

I do not agree with things in the Wikipedia article about Gender Bias on Wikipedia. There is no one stopping women from becoming Wikipedia editors and writing articles about women or other subjects. It is just as easy for women to jump in and become regular Wikipedia editors as it is for men to do so. If any editor editor, male or female can't do that, it means they shouldn't edit Wikipedia, not because of their gender but because they are too weak.

David Auerbach was correct to share tips about Wikipedia controversies with another reporter and by mentioning the relationship status of Anita S. .

I am against Pornography and I want Pornography to be illegal . Pornography is evil, disgusting and is wrong

I am against legalizing public sex. People should never be allowed to have sex in public ever.

I am against population control. Population Control is an assault on reproductive rights and its a human rights violation (right to procreate, right to life) . Human life is sacred. Overpopulation (the other excuse for it) is a myth. Climate change is real but population control doesn't stop it and is extremely counterproductive.

Islam is not a bad religion, it's not Judeo Christianity but it shares a link to Judeo Christianity (Abraham). If Muslims stay true to Islam, maybe they will go to heaven the same way that the Native Americans who lived moral lives and died before Christopher Columbus came to the Americas went to heaven.

Islam has good and bad like any other religion. Not all criticism of Islam is Islamaphobic and some criticism of Islam is genuine and constructive. Some sects of Islam do treat women and LGBTQ people unfairly which is wrong. People should avoid criticizing things in Islam that they don't understand because if they don't avoid doing that, they'll look ignorant like how Donald Trump looked ignorant in 2016 for his criticism of Ghazala Khan. People should only criticize Islam in a genuine, constructive way that is free of Islamaphobia. I am against France banning Muslims women from wearing Burkinis in public.

Due to the US government and some far left people smearing and treating all Donald Trump supporters (instead of just the fringe ones) as domestic terrorists and violent extremists, I empathize even more with Muslims due to the similarly harsh smearing and treatment that they have similarly gotten by the US government and extremists on the other side of the isle since 9/11 (especially after 9/11 and during the age of ISIS). I have seen some far left people imply or dog whistle that all Trump supporters are domestic terrorists or violent extremists (instead of labeling and going after just the fringe part of the MAGA movement as domestic terrorists) When I was a liberal, I always defended Muslims when they were attacked by neocons since I emphasized with them. Now based on what I wrote above, I will emphasize even more with Muslims.

I want literal and full open borders only because it would be such a disastrous policy it would force our country way to the right of Joe Biden on that issue within weeks of it being implemented and our country would be thus be exactly like it was pre 1990s on illegals/refugees FOR DECADES (ie accelerationism). On migration/refugees my ideal policy is somewhere between a pragmatic conservative version of the Self Deportation policy with a somewhat more liberal Guest worker program AND a 'just short of a Path to Citizenship' policy that also fuses with Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party UK's Points Based Immigration System .I also support Amnesty (with HEAVY creative restrictions) for a few thousand illegal immigrants who were born here or who lived here for decades. I'm against Sanctuary cities. I also agree with the Bush Center's migration policies for the rest of my views on this.

Undocumented migrants and refugees in the US don't commit more or less crimes than legal US citizens

Migrants to the US should learn English

I support Civic Nationalism

I support Brexit

I am a Eurosceptic

On the record, I am apolitical to BLM but off the record I do not support BLM. I prefer former BLM who aren't woke anymore and their ideas to BLM's ideas since the formers ideas are less extreme.

I don't believe that white privilege is real. I have never and I will never apologize for being white. There is nothing wrong with being white.

I don't believe that the CRT should be taught in schools but I personally wouldn't try to stop it from being taught in schools. I am fine with parents and others trying to prevent the CRT from being taught in schools. The only place that the CRT should be taught is in colleges and law schools. Outside of colleges and law schools, the only other place that I'd be open to it being taught would be in PUBLIC high schools in very select elective courses (with trigger warnings to students about the CRT)

I would encourage all American parents who don't want the CRT to be taught in schools to try to get elected to school boards around the US to prevent the CRT from being taught in schools. I would suggest to parents an option if they can't get the CRT banned in schools is to find a book that is critical of the CRT and try to get that anti CRT book taught along side the CRT to give an alternative viewpoint to students in those schools. I do not believe that the CRT should be taught in k-8 schools (its debatable whether it should even be in school libraries).

I personally don't agree with the CRT and I am glad that schools and companies are rejecting it. The CRT is not only far left but it is also very counterproductive to the cause. I see what liberals are trying to do with it but they are wrong for pushing or even embracing the CRT. I am basing my criticism of the CRT from criticism that I heard of the CRT from the left and the right.

Parents who 'harass', argue or go after teachers at school board meetings are NOT domestic terrorists or terrorists

I am a fan of Assata Shakur only because I feel our country would be better now if she had ran for office in the 1970s and got some of her views put into law then. This is one of my outside the box views. I am from the county that she was accused of killing a cop in (Middlesex County), so maybe it is just that I sympathize with her due to her ordeal and because ignorant residents of my county (Middlesex County) reacted harshly to her back then when she was accused of murder.

I believe that Transracial (Identity) is a real concept

Every race-ethnicity, nation, people, and human on Earth are equal to each other and have their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and possesses the sovereign right to live wherever they want.

The only silver lining under Fidel Castro's brutal dictatorship was that his country was a model for equal rights. It's ironic that such a crazy country had such equal rights but I am to the right of Marco Rubio on every other thing about Cuba. I still boycott the Florida Marlins to this day for hiring a pro Castro manager (Ozzie Guillen)

I am against anti white hate speech and anti white jokes. We need to fight against the anti white hatred that white people are getting on social media and by public figures like Sarah Jeong. We cannot allow anti white hate speech and anti white jokes to be normalized.

Whites should love all races equally

I do not believe that the police should be defunded or abolished.

If people want to stop perceived police brutality, police departments across the country should hire BLM members and anti police brutality activists as police officers since they would be the least likely people to use brutality on suspects. Another idea for people who want to stop perceived police brutality is to require police officers to learn Krav Maga control and restraint techniques to deal with violent suspects instead of methods they currently use.

If the police are abolished we'll have vigilantism which would be impractical and objectifiable. I wouldn't mind seeing the Guardian Angels brought back and expanded throughout the US and used in place of cops in some specific instances.

I am against Ban the Box

I am against the Death Penalty being legal however in rare cases I don't want the death sentences commuted to life sentences but to be carried out instead. Those rare cases are the same rare cases that Mark Hatfield would deny the petition for the death sentence to be commuted to life sentences if he was alive today and Governor of those states.

I don't believe that the National Anthem should be played at sporting events

I am against Identity politics but in a almost PC, agree to disagree sort of way.

I am pro Israel (I am Jewish), and I see leftist hatred toward Israel, Israelites, Zionism and similar targets as a silver lining (even though I abhor them for their hatred toward us), in that it proves they are hypocrites and exposes their hatred to people who don't know they are bigots.

I wouldn't mind seeing Israel restored to the size and scope that it was under King Solomon's reign in the bible as long as this restored Israel implemented Anarcho Monarchism (like in JRR Tolkien's The Shire). For example under this system, a monarch of Israel would be counterposed against state bureaucracy and be a representative for the people against the state (which could benefit Palestinians, and all other non Israelis who live in this restored Israel). This restored Israel would be similar to the First Nations tribes led by Hereditary Chiefs of Pre Contact North America. The biblical notion of dominion related to the eco semiotic idea of pansemiotic cosmology, vital to out modern environmental imagination.

I believe that Benjamin Netanayahu need to soften his stance at least somewhat toward the Palestinians.

I am somewhere between Hillary Clinton and Mike Pence on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

I am against Cocaine, Heroin, LSD and Crack being legalized or decriminalized. I only want weed to be decriminalized for rec use and legalized for medical use. If weed is to be legalized ,I want weed to be legal in less amounts than it is now and with more regulation. Drug trafficking should always be illegal with drug traffickers going to prison for that

People should NOT use Marijuana, Cocaine, Heroin, LSD or crack for rec use ever. Just say no.

I wouldn't mind seeing Prohibition (except for wine and sprints) make a comeback.

I am pretty much against the SJW-cancel culture but i am not as harsh on them as Dave Rubin and some IDW people. SJWs aren't wrong all of the time and at least a third of the time they are at least somewhat right

Some of the many SJW complaints I disagree with include the 1964 Rudolph Red Nosed Reindeer movie complaint (there is nothing offensive about that movie), the Pepe Le Pew date rape/Pepe Frenchphobe complaint (Pepe doesn't cause date rapes just like violent video games don't cause shootings, Pepe is not offensive to French people), the White Christmas complaints (there is nothing wrong or racist about the term White Christmas), complaints about Horton Hears a Who and Cat in a Hat comes Back (those are not bigoted or stereotypical books) , complaints about the Edmonton Eskimos being offensive (overblown or just plain wrong, they should have stayed as the Edmonton Eskimos), complaints about Airplane movie being offensive or complaints about Goonies scene, the Doo rag complaint on Survivor, SJW complaints like those complaints I hate and disagree with.

I believe that limiting voting for people is not good .I believe that we need to increase voting turn out for our base (which includes trying to get new voters to vote R, Blexit ,as controversial as it is is step in the right direction) instead of limiting votes. If i had 100 percent evidence that Georgia and Texas new voting laws would not cause less BIPOC to vote and that it did what conservatives say that is does, I would be open minded or even more to those laws. But I haven't seen such evidence.

Ideally we should vote like on Wikipedia during Arbcom elections, everyone votes as many times as they want.

I support states requiring photo ids to vote (non strict like in Montana, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Rhode Island, and South Dakota) along with obsessively and thoroughly reading and checking the voter rolls

I am against removing or replacing the Electoral college.

DC should not become a state

Former felons should not vote under most circumstances

On the 2020 Presidential election, whether I believe it was stolen by Democrats. I am apolitical on whether the election was stolen. However, as I try to ignore that story, whenever I accidently read or hear something about it, my mind and gut tells me that the election was stolen by the Democrats. I don't want that to be true, and I don't want to say that the election was stolen by the Democrats but I can't force my mind and gut to tell me that there was no election fraud. So I am forced to have those thoughts and feelings against my will. I do know for a fact that Joe Biden and Democrats/liberals used countless dirty, dishonest and misleading (yet legal to barely legal) tricks during his 2020 election campaign to ensure that he (Biden) won the 2020 Presidential election. Many people who voted for Joe Biden were tricked by him and the Democrats/liberals to vote for him based on empty promises, lies and dirty (yet legal to barely legal) tricks.

I am a Christian and thus I pray for the January 6th protestors to find or to grow in Christ and to channel whatever negative things there are about them into things that match the values of Ronald Reagan and the 1980s Republicans and to use those newly channeled things to help the Republican party grow. I echo what John Kasich said about how the Jan 6 protesters and similar Trump supporters might be redeemable.

I think at times people are too harsh about the January 6th protestors and if the human right abuses they have been subjected to in prison are true, I feel we need to stop those abuses. People who are against the January 6th protestors should consider taking the higher road and not stoop to their level

What the January 6th protestors did on January 6th 2021 was no better or worse than what ANTIFA, Democrat liberals and their allies did to various cities across the US during the summer of 2020.

Nancy Pelosi's fears that Donald Trump would use nukes in 2021 was stupid, irrational ,ignorant and wrong. She is unhinged for saying that Trump would use nukes.

I was against the Nuclear Freeze in the 1980s and early 1990s only because I knew that the US having Nuclear weapons was to prevent the Soviet Union from using their Nuclear weapons. To this day I am still against a Nuclear Freeze due to countries like Russia, Iran and North Korea having Nuclear weapons. I want a world free of Nuclear Weapons but I will not support a Nuclear Freeze until countries like Russia, Iran and North Korea also agree to give up their Nuclear Weapons too. No one wants a Nuclear war.

I am anti war due to Lockean love of Liberty and being anti government (ie war is big gov). Basically I am anti war for the same reasons Mark Twain was anti war

I support the embargo against Cuba and the Cuban 2021 protesters

I am very pro Military and very pro Veteran despite being anti war

Christians who are killed in the Middle East by ISIS should be labeled as Christians and not worshippers

I am against the Open Skies Treaty

I do not agree with Sully's view that Donald Trump showed 'utter and vulgar disrespect and contempt' for US troops past and present. Trump treated the US military mostly decent to good as President. The Atlantic's report that Donald Trump had called WWI heroes 'suckers' and 'losers' is FAKE NEWS and NOT TRUE AT ALL. Sully has to admit that Barack Obama was either the same, not much better or worse as President for our military than Donald Trump and that Jesse Ventura's comments about our military is as bad or worse than anything that Donald Trump ever said about them as President.

I am against globalism

My fellow conservatives should be at least a little weary of the Southern Poverty Law Center. The Southern Poverty Law Center is a leftist organization and has at least a slight liberal bias.

I was and still am against these wars: Libya War (the one under Barack Obama), Iraq War (I was for it until late March 2003 then I became permanently against it), Vietnam War (though I am against some far left parts of the anti war movement and against the hate that the veterans got from anti war people)

I fully support Donald Trump withdrawing the US from Syria in 2019 and I applaud him for it

.I supported the Afghanistan War but we should have pulled out of Afghanistan in 2009 or in 2012.

Joe Biden botched the Afghanistan pullout in 2021 and he should be criticized for that

I fully support the way that Donald Trump handled North Korea

I do support the Iraq War troop surge by George W Bush in 2007. It was a smart strategy and helped turn the war around for us.

I believe and side with the Swift Boat Veterans in their attacks on John Kerry and John McCain

Chris Kyle was a war hero and his movie was not offensive at all

I am pro gun (A- grade from the old NRA, S- grade from the current NRA), but I like bows and yumis and crossbows instead. I support open carry and people bringing their guns to work. Gun control laws are counterproductive, they don't work, and you can't compare the US to gun restricting countries due the relative uniqueness of the US and also due to its long gun culture. If guns are banned ,the bad people will still get illegal guns anyway. We've been giving gun control activists our gun rights little by little for too long.

Liberals are hypocrites on gun control. They go on and on about abortion rights yet they don't care about the rights of lawful citizens to protect themselves with their guns. Liberals claim woman are sensible enough to make a decision to abort to keep a child, yet they don't believe that gun owners are sensible enough to keep their guns or to buy guns. Liberals claim they are 'for the poor', 'for the oppressed' yet apparently liberals aren't for defenseless citizens (due to them being anti gun) or for unborn babies (due to abortion laws).

I believe that the government/state should stay out of enforcing moral changes in at least some to more than most situations. Moral evolution can happen many times apart of the government/state and relations between people can emerge with freedom from the government/state. Most relationships in life should not be characterized as conflict as the left and right might have it. It's good to have mutual and humane respect for others as individuals. It's also good to do positive and unselfish things without having to grapple with the political ramifications of doing those positive things.

Mark Twain said it best "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect"

I believe that the Democrat-Republican 1960s 'party switch' never happened. Republicans and Conservatives have always been the non racist, inclusive political party (its what the Republican party was founded on in the 1850s), hence why I am proud to be a Republican Conservative

I support the Labour Party UK (New Labour-Third Way, Blue Labour, Friends of Israel and the Keynesian Capitalist sect of Social Democrats) ,I also am Neoliberal (ie Hyper Capitalist) which meshes with my above fiscal views, Anarch Libertarian, and I also support Peronism (like Labour above, its a fiscally centrist policy that in some ways is better for us than liberal Capitalism). I also support Christian Communism but only in small Christian groups of hundred or less people (see the Book of Acts). I also believe that Anarcho Monarchism should be employed in very specific places.

I was and still am a member of the Tea Party. I also incorporate elements of Stoicism into my ideologies

I am against Joe Biden's IRS bank snooping plan and bank account plan

I am against the welfare state

I don't want Alcohol and Liquor to be sold at theme parks, or at outdoor restaurants.

I support blue laws and believe they should be implemented all 50 states.

I believe in climate change, but I don't believe that Colonial, racist or patriarchal systems created or fueled it. Climate Change is not a manner of human rights. I am against Greta Thunberg's radical views on Climate Change. We should also convince climate change deniers who won't change to do things to help stop climate change without telling them that we want them to do those things to stop climate change (ie we should make up an excuse for those climate change deniers to do things to stop climate change so they'll want to do those things, they won't do those things if they know those things are being done to stop climate change). I am against climate change deniers being hated on for their beliefs.

I also have some sixth political position views about climate change that don't fit into any sort of political ideology on Climate Change checkbox (due to those views being unique and outside the box).

I am against plastic bag bans, paper straw bans. I am against the Nord Steam pipeline being built.

I support the Keystone Pipeline being built

I support increased logging on federal lands

I am against ANTIFA.

I am sympathetic to some groups within the Boogaloo movement (ie the non evil groups)

Comparing the 'Trump extremists' (ie the fringe members of the MAGA movement) with Al Qaeda, ISIS and similar extremist terrorist groups seems naïve and ignorant at best and defaming at worst to me. Furthermore it seems that there is no solid proof that deep down they are really Donald Trump supporters or Republicans and some of them are really Democrats or Independents or don't even know what they believe in. If I had to choose at gun point between labeling those 'Trump extremists' as domestic terrorists/terrorists or labeling them as a over zealous hate group I'd choose the latter label for Trump extremists since it is less inaccurate than the former. Instead of comparing the 'Trump exremists' to Al Qaeda, ISIS and similar groups they should be compared instead to Bernie Bros, Code Pink and possibly the BDS.

I believe children who misbehave should be lightly spanked and punished (time outs).

I support school choice for students (since I wanted it when I moved to my new town 1997 but couldn't get a voucher).

I am against the 'Everybody gets a trophy culture' It make it hard for kids who become adults to deal with adversity

I believe kids should be respectful to their parents, teachers and adults. People should ways be polite and not lie unless in very rare cases

I believe students who disrespect their teachers should be suspended.

Stealing is wrong and people should go to prison for stealing.

Well it certainly wouldn't hurt for people to always follow these two commandments as much as possible: "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

I believe we should heavily encourage and maybe even give lucrative incentives to more Christians to adopt children

I believe that adopting children should be easier for people

I am personally apolitical to lean pragmatically Christian democratic on gay adoption. I am personally conservative on whether same sex couples should have parental presumption. Legality wise, I am neutral to lean Conservative Liberal on whether I believe that same sex couples should have parental presumption in terms of adoption.

Legality wise, I only support gay adoption if implemented as I write below:

I don't believe that there should be adoption/foster care anti discrimination laws in terms of gay adoption but I'd also strongly want states to encourage adoption center employees to undergo LGBTQ anti bias training every few years along with requiring foster parents to undergo training for adopting LGBTQ youth to get around not having such laws.

I am not crazy about second parent adoption for same sex couples and I'd prefer instead a model like Australia had in 2008 where a non biological parent apply to a family court as 'other people significant to the care, welfare and development' of the biological or adoptive child of their partner. This stuff can cover parental and responsibility. It is simple and can also grant extensive rights to the co-parent. This would also provide a status quo if the birth parent or legal parent were to die, preventing other family members from taking immediate custody of the child. I would only really support second parent adoption for same sex couples if it is privatized.

I am against seat belt laws for front seat and back seat passengers 15 and above. I prefer drivers who aren't wearing seat belts who get in accidents get penalized by their insurers not the police

I am for primary seat belt laws for all passengers in the front and back seats under 15

I believe the national driving age in the US should be lowered to 15

I LOATHE social media as this post shows some of my thoughts on that subject.

Instagram is a senseless site where mostly stuck up, immature and annoyingly rude Millennials post their appalling selfies and show off photos on a daily basis so their followers can approve and give them that satisfaction they crave since they can never get that any other way. It feels like they are brainwashed by Instagram to do these things (especially 'Influencers' who are so bad I can't even put them into words) . Instagram causes mental issues in people and I can't wait until it gets shut down forever.

I hate the whole concept of trending. People who engage in sharing hashtags are basement dwellers with no lives and nothing better to do. For example, George Orwell's book should not have been bought in 2017 because of the #alternativefacts hashtag. People who bought Orwell's book because of that hashtag are mindless, brainwashed trolls who are a disgrace to our society and should self isolate for the rest of their lives.

Children and teens should not do Youtube challenges like spying on their boyfriends or being handcuffed to someone for 24 hours or similar type of STUPID and SENSELESS challenges. In fact, I don't believe ANYONE should do challenges on Youtube ever.

I believe that all kids should read the Tuttle Twins books since those books teach great lessons for kids. I believe that the Tuttle Twin books should be taught in schools and in school libraries throughout the US and Canada

I support Judeo Christian school prayer in public schools if its organized by Christian or Jewish students (ideally ones who have a high position within the school to get this to happen) or by Christian or Jewish teachers or faculty. Regardless, the Judeo Christian students or Judeo Christian teachers/faculty would have to use non verbal communication like the one used in the Shining or a similar stealth method to tell other students each day to pray a Judeo Christian prayer (which would prevent the ACLU and Freedom from Religion Foundation that there was an agreement to implement such a policy)

Moreover, students who wouldn't want to say the prayer because they are of a different religion would be allowed to say a Baha'i prayer themselves (Baha'i is about all religions), or if they're atheist or agnostic they can recite to themselves some secular/humanist work.

I want video games to be as hard now as they were in the 1980s and 1990s (ie cheap level design, not telling the player where to go, unfair gameplay etc, ie Nintendo Hard).

I don't want people to celebrate Halloween ever and I want to get Halloween banned in the US forever. Halloween is offensive to Christians, Muslims and Protestants and it teaches socialism (hand outs). 20 to 30 something percent of American kids ignore Halloween each year. Over 90 percent of people on Earth ignore Halloween each year. I do like other planet holidays though

I am against people having a sense of entitlement

I support Individualism

I am against Zoophilia and it should stay illegal forever. Science has proven that Zoophilia causes disease and death.

I believe animals should be in circuses but only a few circuses in their lives then retire them to wildlife conservations. I fully support the existence of Wildlife Conservations

There is nothing wrong with riding on Elephants or Camels as long as the person is light and the Elephant or Camel is in top shape and not on them for very long.

I am third political position (which is neither agree, disagree, apolitical or neutral but third political position) to lean neutral on Joe Scarborough's 2005 Thiomersal view.

I am anti hunting and only an act of god can change me on that

I am against goose egg addling and I feel that should be illegal

I believe in Reincarnation

'''Debbie Wasserman Schultz''' (born September 27, 1966), a [[far-left]] [[Democrat]], is the [[United States Representative]] for [[Florida]]'s 23rd district. She was first elected to the House in 2004 to represent the 20th district. Before that, she was a member of the [[Florida Senate]] and the [[Florida House of Representatives]].

Wasserman Schultz was appointed [[Democratic National Committee]] Chair by President [[Barack Obama]] in May 2011 and she resigned just before the 2016 Democratic National Convention when [[Wikileaks]] revealed she was assisting [[Hillary Clinton]] and actively subverting the candidacy of [[Bernie Sanders]] for the Democratic presidential nomination, in violation of DNC rules. Wikileaks founder [[Julian Assange]] has offered a $20,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the alleged leaker's [[murder]]. She is a [[liberal]] who supports [[gay rights]] and [[abortion]] and is anti-[[Second Amendment]].

==Early life and education==
Schultz was born to Larry and Ann Wasserman in [[Queens]], [[New York]] and grew up in [[Long Island]]. She attended the [[University of Florida]], earning her bachelor's degree in 1988 and her master's degree in 1990. Both degrees were in political science.<ref>[http://wassermanschultz.house.gov/about/biography.shtml Biography]</ref>

==Political career==
===Florida State House of Representatives===

===Florida State Senate===

===United States House of Representatives===
====DNC Chair====
President Obama nominated her for Chair in April 2011 and the Democratic National Committee confirmed her appoinment on May 4, 2011. Immediately, Schultz began attacking [[Republican]]s. She lied about [[Paul Ryan]]'s [[Medicare]] plan, stating it would deny care to seniors with preexisting medical conditions.<ref>[http://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb-staff/2011/06/01/open-thread-dnc-chair-lies-about-ryan-medicare-plan#ixzz1OdjLjbsu DNC Chair lies about Ryan Medicare plan]</ref> She called Republicans "anti-women" <ref>Lopez, Kathryn Jean (May 27, 2011). [https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/268271/march-anti-women-women-sigh-more-name-calling-kathryn-jean-lopez "The Corner: The march of the anti-women women (sigh, more name-calling.)"] National Review website. Retrieved on April 15, 2015.</ref> and said that they wanted to bring back [[Jim Crow]] laws.<ref>Benson, Guy (June 7, 2011). [https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2011/06/07/dnc_chair_gop_aims_to_literally_drag_the_country_back_to_jim_crow_era "Tipsheet: DNC chair: GOP aims to 'literally drag' the country back to Jim Crow era"]. Townhall.com. Retrieved on April 15, 2015.</ref> In another statement, Schultz claimed that Republicans think that [[illegal immigration]] should be a crime.<ref>[http://newsbusters.org/blogs/fred-lucas/2011/05/31/dnc-chair-republicans-believe-illegal-immigration-should-be-crime Illegal immigration should be a crime]</ref> Also, she claimed that if it were up to Republicans, we would all be driving foreign-built cars. It was noted that she owns a 2010 Japanese-made Infiniti FX35.<ref>O'Brien, Michael (May 26, 2011). [https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/163567-dnc-chairwoman-doesnt-drive-american "DNC chairwoman doesn't drive American".] The Hill. Retrieved on April 15, 2015.</ref>

Hackers obtained emails between Schultz and other DNC staff members who reported to her and posted them on [[Wikileaks]]. These emails showed that instead of Schulz keeping the DNC staff neutral during the 2016 Presidential race, they worked to favor [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]]. This led to the supporters of [[Bernie Sanders]] to demand Schultz' resignation, and Senator Sanders endorsed Shultz' opponent in the Democratic congressional primary. Faced with the possibility of demonstrations from Sanders delegates, Schultz resigned just before the Convention opened and did not make her scheduled speech. Donna Brazil was selected by the DNC to fill the remainder of Schultz' term as Chair.

==Political views==
Schultz supports gay marriage and abortion. She also supported the [[Occupy Wall Street]]-movement.<ref>[http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/10/11/debbie_wasserman_schultz_fully_embraces_occupy_movement.html]</ref> Schultz supports [[Illegal immigration]].<ref>https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/dnc-chair-republicans-believe-illegal-immigration-should-be-crime</ref>

==Public criticism==
[[File:Sethrich-e1494948876256.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Seth Rich (1989-2016) was a Sanders' supporter who worked as an IT staffer at the DNC headquarters in Washington DC and leaked information to WikiLeaks.<ref>https://youtu.be/Kp7FkLBRpKg </ref>]]
The release by [[Wikileaks]] of a collection of emails indicated that Schultz and other members of the DNC staff showed major bias against the presidential campaign of Senator [[Bernie Sanders]] in favor of [[Hillary Clinton]]'s campaign.<ref name="NYT-Martin20160725">{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/25/us/politics/debbie-wasserman-schultz-dnc-wikileaks-emails.html|title=Debbie Wasserman Schultz to Resign D.N.C. Post|last=Martin|first=Jonathan|date=2016-07-25|last2=Rappeport|first2=Alan|newspaper=The New York Times|issn=0362-4331|access-date=}}</ref> These accusations were backed up by the fact that Schultz was the campaign manager for the 2008 Clinton Campaign. WikiLeaks revealed the DNC stooping to cutting poll booth numbers from Bernie leaning states and counties when compared to the poll booth numbers from the 2012 election in states such as [[Arizona]]. The DNC wanted to tag the Jewish Vermont Senator in the Bible Belt as an "atheist", in an attempt to give her another advantage in the early Southern primaries. Meanwhile, the Republican primary debates aired during "primetime" for undecided voters who may not have been familiar with all of the available candidates.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Debbie_Wasserman_Schultz&diff=prev&oldid=771339802]</ref>

On February 2, 2017 ''Politico'' reported 5 House IT staffers, including 3 brothers later identified as Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan, were relieved of access to House computers and had been under criminal investigation since late 2016.<ref>https://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/house-staffers-investigation-equipment-234586</ref> The brothers managed office information technology for Democratic members of the House Intelligence Committee handling matters on war and [[terrorism]].<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2017/02/04/exclusive-house-intelligence-it-staffers-fired-in-computer-security-probe/#ixzz4b5enE6c9</ref> Imran Awan worked for ex-DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz,<ref>https://observer.com/2017/02/imran-awan-democrat-debbie-wasserman-schultz-criminal-investigation/</ref> had access to her iPad and password,<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2017/03/09/suspect-in-house-it-security-probe-also-had-access-to-dnc-emails/n</ref> took $100,000 in cash from an [[Iraq]]i company,<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2017/02/20/exclusive-house-dem-it-guys-in-security-probe-secretly-took-100k-in-iraqi-money/</ref> and was a suspect in the leaking of DNC emails to Wikileaks. Despite verbose allegations of "Russian hacking," the DNC never allowed the FBI to examine its servers to determine if indeed the DNC had been hacked, or did the [[leak]]s come from an inside source.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2017/03/09/suspect-in-house-it-security-probe-also-had-access-to-dnc-emails/</ref> The suspects may have been involved in a leak of information that lead to the ambush and death of Navy SEAL William Ryan Owen.<ref>http://www.americanow.com/story/society/2017/02/06/muslim-spy-ring-linked-navy-seals-death</ref> Furthermore, because the suspects were [[Muslim]],<ref>http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-03-01/house-democrats-delayed-dismissal-it-staff-hackers-because-they-were-muslim-american</ref> their activities were covered up and they were not fired til after the death of Owen. Even then, they were initially relieved of duties without their names being released, two weeks later fired,<ref>https://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/house-staff-criminal-investigation-234714</ref> and three weeks after that in a series of press leaks identified as prime suspects in what the media called the "Russian hacking" scandal.

On May 18, 2017 Wasserman Schultz threatened the Capital police chief for impounding evidence in the [[Awan investigation]]. The Awan brothers were former IT specialists working for Wasserman Schultz with access to DNC data, and for House Democrats on the Intelligence Committee.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2017/05/24/wasserman-schultz-threatened-police-chief-for-gathering-evidence-on-her-it-staffers-alleged-crimes/ </ref>

On May 24, 2017 federal prosecutor Beranton J. Whisenant Jr. was found murdered in Florida with a bullet in his head.<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/news/beranton-whisenant-jr-federal-prosecutor-found-dead-on-florida-beach/ </ref><ref>http://www.wptv.com/news/state/federal-prosecutor-beranton-j-whisenant-jr-found-dead-on-hollywood-florida-beach </ref><ref>http://yournewswire.com/voter-fraud-investigator-murdered/ </ref><ref>https://steemit.com/chainbb-general/@stevescoins/additional-information-possibly-connected-to-the-whisenant-murder </ref> Curiously, the local police are handling the investigation.

==Personal life==
