Well Civi I would not put trying a deception of this magnitude past Chavezmo the Magnificent.
One thing is for sure he is either LYING about the treatment, the Cancer or his current prognosis. Chavez is a habitual liar, an actor and a self orchestrator of the spin.
When I seen he was crying and praying during a recorded speech while asking GOD to heal him a few weeks ago I thought, How pathetic!
Then a second thought occured...........WOW!.......... He could be setting us up for the biggest spin he has spun= Ever!
Nah, no way. Right?
IMO he is just really sick, just not physically but mentally to boot.
One day someone will get a picture of him with his pants completely engulfed in flames.
The foto caption will read "LIAR, LIAR."
(or El Diablo)
(or Chavezmo the Magnificent)
Who knows?
