Official sources informed that the company will be militarized to avoid more incidents. President Hugo Chavez ratified in the position the minister of Basic Industries, Rodolfo Sanz, and to the president of Minerven.

Not sure what ratified means in this translation but I would have to assume it referes to Hugo supporting Sanz.

Looks like our good friend RC is still batting 0 for his predections. Lets see now:

Sanz being replaced OPPS hasn't happened!

Gorilla face Ortega being sent to Russia OPPS hasn't happened!

Ortega's husband VP Ramon Carrizales going to Russia or France OPPS hasn't happened!

Chinese buyout at $4-$5 an ounce OPPS hasn't happened!

The Russians (Aggapov) getting LC OPPS hasn't happened!

I could go on and on but I think we get the picture.

Maybe we should ask RC who he like in the NFL playoffs so we can make some money in Vegas betting against him.
