Hugo Chávez may have bitten the big one back in March, but in the loving heart of Oliver Stone, he’ll live forever and ever. But since the South American despot is no longer around to speak for himself, Stone is doing it for him.

Was in Venezuela last week for interviews with new leadership—not for bio pic, as reported by anti-Chávez press. http://t.co/NShqKYsyco

Surprised how devoted the Venezuelan leaders are to the principles of Socialist change—they learned well from Chávez! http://t.co/NShqKYsyco

Gee, isn’t that swell? Too bad about all the meany-pants Americans giving Venezuelan leadership a hard time, though:
Venezuela faces tremendous challenges from vociferous right-wing opponents & undercover CIAs sent there to sabotage. http://t.co/NShqKYsyco

The U.S. was surprised when V.P. Maduro beat Capriles in a special election in April after Chávez’s death. http://t.co/NShqKYsyco

A secret war goes on. A war sought and fought by one side, the United States, against a smaller country, Venezuela. http://t.co/NShqKYsyco

The bullies have help, too — from the American media, according to Stone:
When have you ever seen a positive story on Venezuela in the subservient American media? http://t.co/NShqKYsyco #UntoldHistory

To be fair, maybe the American media’s been too busy singing the praises of Obama to be able to dedicate much time to Chávez. Guess it’s up to Oliver to carry the torch.
My heart goes out to Nicolás Maduro and his leadership during this dangerous period since the Chávez Revolution. #UntoldHistory
