(I don't know if this article was ever posted here, anyone know? PLEASE NOTE THE DATE, This is from last week, but it contains a lot of interesting information and allegations, I don't know if they are true or not. I doubt ALL of this is true, but any additional info about what is in this article is very much welcome.)

INTELLIGENCE REPORT:
US "private military contractors" already in-country to "deal with" Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez Frias...


Intelligence agencies are revealing that US private military contractors, active in Colombia "under various contract umbrellas, including counter-narcotics and counter-insurgency" are building up to yet another attempted coup d'etat against Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez. Carefully described as "private military contractors" (a.k.a. hired mercenary killers), the PMCs are known already to have conducted several incursions across the Colombia-Venezuela border to link up with rebel units of the Venezuelan military operating along the border badlands between the two countries.

Senior officials at the US Pentagon have authorized the intruder operation as part of a plan to make it appear that Chavez is militarily assisting the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).

* The US mercenaries have also established close links with right-wing Colombian paramilitaries (AUC) and their associated drug cartels to smuggle weapons into Venezuela.

...Intel sources also say that an Opus Dei (Roman Catholic) espionage and political assassination team operating in the United States is in the background of a case where a former Marine aide, Leandro Aragoncilla ... a US Vice Presidential staffer and FBI agent ... has been accused of espionage at the White House. Aragoncilla was arrested recently on charges of illegally obtaining classified documents from US Vice President Dick Cheney's office and FBI computer which were passed to Philippine opposition figures linked to Opus Dei in the Philippines in preparation for a coup d'etat against that country's President, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Opus Dei elements are known also to have played a major role in supporting the April 2002 coup d'etat against Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez Frias which continues a wider espionage and political black bag operation with support and logistics approved by highest levels within the Pentagon and the FBI....

3. Like I said, I would take most of the opinion "with a grain of salt," but
in between, their are a lot of facts that we know are true, and a lot of other things that someone more familiar with Venezuela might be able to say is probably true, or total rubbish.

2. Private Contractors? Is that what Robertson calls his outreach ministry
Edited on Mon Oct-24-05 12:25 AM by NAO
these days?

As Robertson's fellow Radical Cleric Jerry Falwell said, "Blow them all to Hell, In the Name of The LORD".

4. This part rings true...
A classified intelligence report leaked to this e-publication shows that the espionage ring has operating out of US Vice President Dick Cheney's office with the implicit approval from within the Bush administration.
_______________

Cheney's office seems to good at leaking...we had the article here somewhere about catching the spy. Cheney's computer seems to be pretty available. Do they have any security?
