QuoteVenezuelan President Hugo Chavez has said he is about to expel a US missionary group, New Tribes Mission.
The leftist leader said the group were "imperialists" and that he felt "ashamed" at their presence in indigenous areas of Venezuela.
He accused the Florida-based group of making unauthorised flights and setting up luxurious camps amid poverty.
New Tribes, which preaches to non-Christian indigenous peoples, said it had no immediate comment.
It is one of Latin America's biggest missionary organisations and has 3,200 workers and operates in 17 countries, with operations in West Africa and South-East Asia too.
'Irreversible'
"The New Tribes are leaving Venezuela," Mr Chavez said at a ceremony to present land titles and farming equipment to members of Venezuela's indigenous population.
"This is an irreversible decision that I have made. We don't want the New Tribes here. Enough colonialism!"
He added that he had yet to sign the expulsion order and was giving New Tribes time to "gather their stuff".
I love this guy.

QuoteChavez warns of spooky US Halloween 'terrorism'
Oct 31 7:51 PM US/Eastern
(AFP) - President Hugo Chavez cautioned Venezuelan parents to protect their children from Halloween with a spooky warning that the US tradition is rooted in "terrorism."
"What they have implanted here, which is really a 'gringo' custom, is terrorism," Chavez said, quoted in the local press. "They disguise children as witches and wizards, that is contrary to our culture."
Chavez often lashes out at the US government, which he has described as "terrorist" and accused of plotting his assassination. But this time his warnings were directed at the American celebration that combines costumes and candy.
He issued "an appeal for reflection by parents" not to encourage their children to dress up for the holiday.
His comments came after authorities in Caracas recently seized pumpkins, cardboard skeleton costumes and other traditional Halloween items inscribed with anti-Chavez messages.
US families were celebrating Halloween, during which disguised children go door to door saying "trick or treat," on Monday.
:-D
Oh no, not witches and wizards. :-D

Hey watch it!. Wizards, when at level 13, can achieve not only heal and cura, but can also use antidote and haste magic on you. So, watchout!(for GF and Purple Hayz of course).
