A few days ago, chavez made these comments, shortly after he signed the trade treaty with Russia.

"We took 40 decisions last night ... we will inform you in the next hours and days," he told reporters, saying the new measures would begin Oct. 1.

"I have given the green light for a plan to accelerate the supply of dollars and other measures."

I believe he was referring to the $4 billion that the russian bank lent to VZ. Lets keep our fingers crossed ( again ), that this will be the month that all the various factors finally come together........well,....... it's just as good a time as any other, don't you think?
