Many Bush agencies are involved--as if a directive went out to slander Venezuela at every opportunity, and if there is nothing to slander them with, to make shit up.
This--their airports are insecure--DHS.
They're not cooperating on the (corrupt, failed, murderous U.S./Bush) "war on drugs." Cocaine (from the Bush Cartel client state, Colombia) transits Venezuela and they're not doing enough to stop it. --DEA, State Dept.
The (absurd) "suitcase full of money" prosecution by the (Busbot) U.S. Attorney in Miami--trying to portray the Chavez government as corrupt. Justice as a 'Monty Python' skit. Unfrackingbelievable. --DoJ, CIA.
The "mystery laptop" --long story, the upshot of which is ridiculous, baseless, cooked up allegations that Chavez--and also Rafael Correa, president of Ecuador (like Venezuela, a member of OPEC, lots of oil, leftist government) are "terrorist lovers." --U.S. military, U.S. embassy in Colombia, CIA (and Rumsfeld's* private 'Office of Special Plans'?).
Bushite support, funding, 'training' of rightwing opposition groups in Venezuela with our tax dollars, to execute a coup, a crippling oil professionals' strike, a recall election, and other destabilization efforts and on-going plots to topple the government and to keep up a constant stream of lies and vitriol --USAID-NED and other budgets (also funding white separatists in Bolivia).
The Associated Pukes, Rotters, the Wall Street Urinal & brethren, all of them, apparently reprinting State Dept. faxes as "news" the gist of which is that Chavez is a "dictator." I've tracked every item on this (the RCTV incident, no free speech in Venezuela, etc., etc.)--all of it untrue. They never report the truth--for instance, Lulu da Silva, president of Brazil, recently said, of Chavez: "You can criticize Chavez on a lot of things, but
not on democracy." (!) Chavez and his government are, in fact, the exact opposite of how they are portrayed here--they are the
most democratic government in the history of South America. That is what these fascist/Corpo 'news' monopolies
don't want you to know--that a truly free people can kick Exxon Mobil the fuck out of their country--peacefully, democratically, fairly--and be the better for it, as to their sovereignty and their prosperity. Our 'news' monopolies might as well be an arm of the Bush State Dept.--they are so craven and collusive.
And what is all this
for--this non-stop propaganda?
Rumsfeld* gives a hint, in his Dec 07 op-ed in the Washington Puss: "The Smart Way to Defeat Tyrants Like Chavez." It is mostly about, a) propaganda (wants to beef up propaganda on 'the internets'), and b) Colombia/U.S. "free trade" deal as economic warfare. But he also urges "swift action" by the U.S. in support of "friends and allies" in South America. The Bush junta doesn't have any "friends and allies" in South America, except the narco-thugs running Colombia, the corrupt "free tradists" in Peru, and fascist cells
within oil-rich leftist countries (Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia) planning secessionist coups. This Bushite three-country scheme (which Ecuador's president has spoken of) is to split off the oil-rich provinces into fascist mini-states in control of the oil. The scheme is well-developed and on-going in Bolivia (Bushite support for the
white separatists who are trying to split off the gas/oil rich provinces from Evo Morales' government), and there is evidence of it in the other two countries. The oil-rich Venezuelan state of Zulia on the Caribbean is particularly vulnerable, with the U.S. 4th Fleet, recently reconstituted by the Bushites, roaming off this Venezuelan coastal area; it is adjacent to Colombia, and it has a fascist cabal that is likely in cahoots with the Colombian military (and rightwing paramilitary death squads).
Stoking up bloody civil war seems to be the plan. The Bushfucks can't regain global corporate predator control of South American resources--especially their oil--any other way. The South Americans have worked hard on their democratic institutions--unlike some other people we know (us!)--and are electing leaders who truly represent them, all over the continent, most recently in Paraguay--PARAGUAY!--which just elected the first leftist president (and the first democratically elected president) in its history. That election, among other things, basically threw a monkeywrench into the Bushite secessionist scheme in neighboring Bolivia (removing Paraguay as a possible staging area for U.S. troops--i.e., "swift action" in support of "friends and allies"--the white separatists--just across the border in Bolivia's eastern provinces).
Checkmated on Iran (in my opinion), the Bushites are desperate for more oil, and they absolutely hate the democracy movement in the South America, and want to smash it up any way they can. They've been laying the ground work for a long time--most conspicuously in the psyops campaign against Chavez. They have tried to personalize it (as they did with Saddam) as a fight against a "dictator"--something that South American leaders and people know is not true. They've extended that epithet-- "dictator"--to the presidents of Ecuador and Bolivia--also not true. And they've tried to drag in "terrorism" as another justification.
What does this look like to you? To me, it looks just like what they did to Iraq, pre-war. Only it is much more difficult to pull off, because there is not one word of truth in their accusations, and South America knows it. The presidents of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay back Chavez and the Bolivarians (Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia). They have kindred goals--social justice, self-determinatio. Together, they are forming a South American "Common Market" UNASUR, without the U.S. Brazil and Argentina just announced they are going off the U.S. dollar! They have told the Bush-backed white separatists in Bolivia that they will not trade with them (they are Bolivia's chief gas customers--the resource that the white separatists are trying to steal, by means of secession).
Is the Bush junta going to try to stem this overwhelming, peaceful, democratic, leftist revolution, by "swift action" in support of fascists in Zulia who declare their "independence"--and back them up with the 4th Fleet and with rightwing death squads/Blackwater crossing the border from Colombia? Will they try to net Ecuador (south border of Colombia) at the same time? And how will they get forces into Bolivia, with Ecuador's president kicking the U.S. military out of its base in Ecuador, and Paraguay gone leftist? (They may have to use Bolivia merely as a distraction--it's landlocked, and surrounded by leftist governments.)
There is considerable evidence that this IS the war plan. They could do it now, before they leave office (if they leave office), or certainly with McCain/Palin Diebolded into office, next year. Or, if the Corpos decide (for their own nefarious reasons) to let Obama win, they could hand an Obama administration a fait accompli civil war/oil war in South America, or try to corner him into supporting it (as the Miami mafia/CIA tried to do to JFK with the "Bay of Pigs), or--given the private resources that have been accumulated at our expense (billions missing in Iraq; private armies created), Rumsfeld could probably pull off a private war, with Obama standing helplessly by, as Exxon Mobil and brethren steal a large chunk of Venezuela, where the oil is, and create mayhem in U.S. foreign policy in South America.
I tend to think they will try--they've got it all set up (including sleeping pills for the public in the U.S.--it's just that "dictator" Chavez, etc.)--and they will fail. And they will fuck up north/south relations for decades to come, maybe forever. South America holds the ace card of national and regional strength--democracy. They may be nearly defenseless, militarily. But they are increasingly unified, politically and economically, and their people have that passion that moved Thomas Jefferson and Tom Paine and James Madison and Gandhi and Nelson Mandela--and Simon Bolivar. The passion for social justice and self-determination. The passion needed to throw off tyranny.
WE--or rather our Corpos and our fascist government--are the tyrants. Not Chavez and the people of South America. WE are the bullies, thieves and murderers. Not them. They are the democrats with a small d that we should be, and maybe, some day, can be again. And, much as we once did, in throwing off the British Empire, they are throwing our Corpos off. No amount of "redcoats" can stop a people who have conceived a passion for democracy. 'We' may inflict blood and pain. We cannot win.
And that is the story that the Puke media is not telling us. They have transparent elections in South America, and presidents with 60% to 90% (!) approval ratings, because of it. We have lost all transparency in our elections, and have a president with a 20% approval rating, and a Democratic Congress with a
single digit approval rating. Do the math. Our assholes
cannot acquire South America's oil by force, because South America--unlike Iraq--is
democratic, and virtually all of South America (except for two Bush/U.S. client states) is in rebellion against our assholes--an historic tide that is moving swiftly into Central America as well.**
WE are being cut out by the forward-looking governments of this hemisphere, while the Bushwhacks turn us into the biggest "banana republic" on earth. They may well strike at South America for this. But South America has never been stronger or more united in preparation for it. And, in addition to everything else, Brazil recently proposed a common defense. If you were Bush, Cheney or Rumsfeld, what would
you do? I think they will try to take Zulia, this year.

"The Smart Way to Beat Tyrants Like Chávez," by Donald Rumsfeld, 12/1/07http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/30/AR2007113001800.html**(Honduras--HONDURAS!--recently gave the finger to the Bushites, and joined the Bolivarian trade group, ALBA! Nicaragua elected Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega as president. The leftist is leading in the polls in El Salvador, and in Panama. Guatemala just elected its first progressive government, ever. And Mexico came within a hairsbreadth--0.05%--of electing a leftist in the last election and will likely elect the leftist in the next one, because of the rightwing/Corpo government trying to privatize Mexico's constitutionally protected oil resource).
