Subject: December Caribbean Memo-2007

Dear Friends:

It's been an exciting year. And we're covered a number of issues and events related to the Caribbean and Latin America during the past 12 months.

One of the most dramatic took place in Venezuela.

Hugo Chavez was critical of the Pope, the Roman Catholic Church in his country, before turning on the European Union and the United States, holding them responsible for a failed coup against him in 2002.

It's likely that kind of talk rallied the opposition to vote against his proposed referendum to give him unlimited political power. And we've recorded the result as reported by the Dec. 3, 2007 edition of El Nacional, a Caracas based newspaper. This HISTORIC POLITICAL HEADLINE in large black and RED letters read:

VENEZUELA DIJO [Said]
NO

See it on the Internet. After connecting to CaribbeanMemo-2007-blogspot.com, click profile and Political Corner. Once there click HISTORIC POLITICAL HEADLINE for a better view.

The newspaper reports Chavez lost with 49.3 percent of the vote. The opposition won with 50.7 percent.

Other matters were covered. They included: it's possible to link the Caribbean and Latin America to the Middle East, the CIA is attacked, immigration and the importance of small extremist groups.

We invite you to see the headline and review earlier memos at the same time.

Again, let us repeat. We live in a very dangerous world. We believe our memos and books can help anyone get a better political grasp of what the United States and the West are up against.

All five of our historical-political novels can be viewed on the WebSite:natcarnes.com. In Puerto Rico, the novel `San Juan' is on sale at the Ritz Carlton Hotel bookshop in San Juan.

To repeat, take a look at our BLOG SITE [CaribbeanMemo-2007.blogspot.com] for other memos you may have missed this year. And there is more here: nmcarnes.blogspot.com.

With each purchase, let us know and we'll send free of charge an e-book version. They can be read on any hand-held device with e-mail capability.

Remember, we are interested in your comments, pro and con. In other words, that's how we learn.

And please let us know if you want your name taken off the Caribbean Memo list.
