“The US
is behind the attempted coup in Venezuela – that is the accusation
President Nicolas Maduro has leveled amid widespread protests back
home. And it’s none other than Vice-president Joe Biden who’s
behind the entire operation, Maduro alleges.”
“This
is the first time a direct accusation of this gravity was made in
front of thousands of cheering spectators and the world at large,
despite an earlier Friday statement, when Maduro struck out at
several US federal agencies for allegedly plotting against
Venezuela.”
“He
also questioned US President Barack Obama publically, whether he was
'aware of these plans to promote violence and a coup in Venezuela'
and 'appealed to his consciousness.'”
“The
President addressed the nation on Sunday in order to strengthen its
resolve in times of what he called 'a bloody coup', as demonstrators
flooded the streets demanding his resignation amid an economic crisis
that is hitting the food sector first, just as the voices of
thousands of others could be heard cheering him on, as they smiled
and waved flags. But according to Maduro, this is no ordinary
crisis. 'I appeal to the people and the patriots among the officials
who are on high alert, as a bloody coup is underway in Venezuela. The
people must be prepared to rescue their democracy, the Constitution
and their revolution' at times like these, the head of state warned.”
“Only a
few days prior to the occasion, the leader had appealed to his fellow
countrymen to burn their US visas to send a message to the
'imperialist Yankees', but the accusations of a coup had before only
dealt with members of the political opposition at home and their
being influenced by other unfriendlies in the region.”
Already
revealed since June 2014 that “The top political leadership in
Venezuela, presented on 28/5/2014, evidence for the involvement of
the former MP of the Opposition, María Machado, in planning a coup
d'état in Venezuela and the assassination of president Nicolas
Maduro. [...] the member of the political leadership, Jorge
Rodríguez, presented the corresponding judicial inquiry in detail,
held by the judicial authorities of the country. This is related to
several email messages sent by the former MP which connect her with
the violence acts in the country since the beginning of the year. It
involves also US officials, like Kevin Whitaker, current US
ambassador in Colombia.”

When I came to understand the US engineered 'color revolutions' subversion strategy, a strategy of deliberate tension, violence, and brutality, I now see it also being used by the US in Venezuela.
ReplyDeleteI believe in free markets and the open society, but not the 'free markets' and 'open society' of neoliberalism.
If the neocons and neoliberals have restarted the Cold War then I am on the other side. I now know that I was misled, lied to, by the engineers of Cold War round one.
