For the sceptics amongst you who don't believe that a 'spitting image' of Hugo Chavez appeared miraculously on an underground wall - I give you proof positive with this picture of the former Venezuelan President with a green parrot or parakeet on his shoulder.

Now the green parrot or parakeet doesn't appear miraculously on the underground wall along with Hugo Chavez, but that is a minor point of detail which may be explained by the fact that the bird was a not a hero of the socialist revolution in Venezuela - even though it appears to be wearing a rather fetching, matching red beret.   

So, what I'd like readers to consider is the remarkable similarity between the two images - they are, as they say, like two peas in a pod - and a sure sign from God Almighty himself that Venezuela is safe in President Maduro's hands.

Long live the revolution!
