Pat profits from assassination speech

Everyone has been blogging and talking about the leader of the Christian Coalition's comments about how he thinks that Hugo Chavez should be assassinated. Apparently he was misunderstood and says that although he did call for special forces to 'take him out' that expression could mean many things including kidnapping the President of Venezuela.

According to a recent article at Conspiracy Planet a fund that Pat Robertson is a large investor in made substantial purchases of September long bond and dollar contract indexes immediately prior to Pat's assassination statement to the 700 club. This created a flight to quality bid meaning that investment funds were pulled out of Venezuela back into US markets thus making those substantial purchases prior to Pat's blooper a very good short term earner.

Just what has Mr Chavez done that is so darn evil that Christian leaders want to 'take him out'? Thankfully, terrorist mastermind Chavez has made public his latest nefarious scheme. Unbelieveably he wants to sell discount fuel to poor communities in the United States. He could do this via Citgo which is a chain of 14,000 service stations in the US that are owned by the Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA. Chavez claims that he could provide the fuel at half its current price by cutting out the middle men/profiteers who are 'speculating and exploiting consumers'. Of course if this was to occur then the obscene profits that are setting new corporate records while you pay the highest price for fuel ever might be reduced by a fraction of a percentage point. That has to be the best excuse I have heard for the invasion of a sovereign nation since WMD.
