I have been in Caracas, Venezuela for a year now. I walk the streets of the city even though it’s not recommended due to the ridiculously high amount of violence and crime.  Venezuela is one of the largest Anti-America countries in the world. President Hugo Rafael Chavez rules with an iron fist and one of his favorite tools is PROPAGANDA.  Check out this painting on Avenida Bolivar, one of the busiest Avenues in downtown Caracas,  of US President Barack Obama. The painting portrays him as a robot with the message that he is a puppet of Imperialism. These paintings are everywhere here. Chavez gets up!
