2. Outstanding material from Stephen Lendman. This article is a keeper.

From the article:

In June 2007, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Craig Kelly called Chavez a regional “enemy.” He proposed “six main areas of action for the US government to limit (his) influence (and) reassert US leadership in the region.”

He stressed “strengthen(ing) ties to those military leaders in the region who share our concern over Chavez.” He proposed “psychological operations” to exploit government vulnerabilities.
“We also need to make sure that the truth about Chavez – his hollow vision, his empty promises, his dangerous international relationships, starting with Iran – gets out, always exercising careful judgment about where and how we take on Chavez directly/publicly.”

Throughout his tenure, Washington wanted him ousted. It wants state-owned enterprises privatized. It wants Bolivarian initiatives abolished. It wants Venezuela made a client-state.
In April 2008, the Pentagon reactivated its Fourth Fleet. It did so after a 60 year hiatus. It was established during WW II. It was disbanded in 1950.

It’s part of US Naval Forces Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM). It’s headquartered at Naval Station Mayport in Jacksonville, FL. It operates throughout Central and Latin America.
Its purpose involves “conducting varying missions including a range of contingency operations, counter(ing) narco-terrorism, and theater security cooperation activities.”

Former USSOUTHCOM commander Admiral James Stevenson called the move a message to the entire region, not just Venezuela.

National War College commandant General Robert Steele said:

“The United States’ obsession with Venezuela, Cuba and other things indicates they are going to use more military force, going to use that instrument more often.”

Can't get any dirtier than that.

5. Such odd news, learning the same mutants working against the human race for George W Bush,

after his initial bogus election are continuing to work together even now for their own dirty scheming purposes.

Maybe they're all living together in Dick Cheney's undground bunker where he spent so much time during the _{George W Bush} regime.

Hoping all that's good for _Bush's own Prince of Darkness, Richard Perle. bless his heart.

6. Maybe Cheney left his bunker...

How could he sleep knowing there's so much oil out there?

7. Right! I had forgotten oil is Cheney's only food!

THAT'S why the beast is overfocused upon Venezuela.

Reminds me of Eduardo Galeano's Open Veins of Latin America. and the author's name on the list for assassination by Argentina's military dictatorship, along with so many other great people.
