Mr. Subliminal Anagram

Back about twenty years ago on the American TV show Saturday Night Live, there was a recurring segment by Kevin Nealon called Mr Subliminal, in which he quickly and under his breath tells you what he's really thinking.  So this is a little homage to that character.  But I've tried to take it one step further.  They say that anagrams can reveal something intrinsic about the subject.  So all of the subliminal messages in the text are also anagrams.  Some work really well, some are rather weak...but hell, this was my first go at anagramming !  Enjoy !

Lots of folks know that Venezuelans are among the friendliest and most helpful anywhere.  They might also be aware of the amazing diversity and beauty of Venezuela's countryside (A Seductive Zen Rules Yon), from the mighty Andes (Highest Yet, Damn !) and the burning hot plains (Hi Lost Pan) to the piranha-filled delta (Flatland Hide A Peril) and the azure coastlines (The Ocean Lazes; I Rust).

However, I'd like to discuss Venezuela's governement.  It seems this government does not have quite the same reputation as Venezuela's other great resources.  And that's a bit unfortunate.  It's true that this Bolivarian Republic (A Probable Civil Ruin) has had some controversy.  But the president seems to have won over more than half of the population, known as Los Chavistas (So Act Slavish), with his measures.  Presidente Hugo Rafael Chavez (Havoc+Fear+Zeal = Ugh !) has done all in his power to help this country out.  For instance, he created a new time zone so that the people have an extra 30 minutes (Hi Nutty Timers !) per day.  Also, he's changed the official exchange rate between the national Bolivares (A Insolvable Ration) and other currencies.  And if there were any dollars to be found, they'd be mighty cheap.  He's changed the name of the country, making it more Bolivarian (Bravo, Oilier Man).  And let's not forget about the flag (he added a star (A Tsar Added)) and the coat of arms (now the horse runs to the left (So, The Left Turn ?).  And most importantly, he loves this country so much that he'd like to help it his whole life...by becoming president for life (re-enlisted ripoff), which would put him in a class of such dynamic world leaders as Fidel Castro, Papa Doc Duvalier, Josef Stalin, and Kim Jong Il., but at least we can say that Chavez is NOT a dictator (Tzar And Vote Is Chaotic) !
