Creating
a distorted image of the humanitarian crisis is the starting point.
Painting a picture of a country on the verge of collapse is the
alibi.

The coup plot against Venezuela has already been written
and presented. On March 2, 2017, during the first round of OAS talks,
Shannon K. O'Neil (Latin America director of the Council on Foreign
Relations, CFR) presented the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee
with a portfolio of actions and measures to be taken by the United
States if it wanted to remove Chavismo from political power in
Venezuela.
Part
1 - Origin and Key Players of CFR
The Council on Foreign Relations, or CFR, is a think
tank founded in 1921 with money from the Rockefeller Foundation. It
is aimed at creating a group of experts to shape U.S. foreign policy
and its leadership positions, including the president and the State
Department, which does not act for its own reasons but rather
according to the interests of these lobbyists.
Since it was created, the council, which is made up of
4,500 members, has placed a number of senior officials in positions
to implement CFR strategy. These include Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger, Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell, responsible for the
war in Vietnam, Yugoslavia and Iraq respectively, and in the case of
Powell, a major player in the April 2002 coup.
Moreover, an honorary member and ex-vice president of
the think tank was David Rockefeller, the former owner of Standard
Oil Company who has great interests and influence in Venezuela. His
penetration in the country's national political life reached such a
point that he was one of the sponsors of the Punto Fijo pact that
gave rise to the Fourth Republic.
Corporations born from the dissolution of Standard Oil
also finance the CFR, namely Chevron and Exxon Mobil. The former was
involved in financing the sanctions against Venezuela and the latter
wants to create conflict between Guyana and Venezuela in order to
take advantage of the large oil reserves in Essequibo.
Among CFR's financiers is Citibank, which last year
blocked the accounts of the Central Bank of Venezuela and the Bank of
Venezuela, affecting the country’s ability to import essential
goods. The financial corporation JP Morgan is responsible for using
financial aggression as an excuse to declare Venezuela in default of
payments in November 2016, using manipulative maneuvers to affect
Venezuela’s financial credibility.
Both banks aimed to hurt Venezuela’s ability to
attract investment and loans that would stabilize its economy. The
most aggressive players of the financial and economic coup against
Venezuela are part of CFR. These same players are now responsible for
designing the agenda of the political coup — in the same way that
Colin Powell, a CFR member, devised and armed the 2002 coup against
Chavez when he was George W. Bush’s secretary of state. Now, just
like then, the MUD (today called Democratic Coordinator) only
responds to a political line designed by these large, factual powers
— the real power that governs the United States.
