Conspiracy Against Venezuela

By Nestor Nuñez

It is quite common to hear analysts and the mass media say that 
Venezuela's denunciations of Washington's interference in the nation's 
internal affairs are pure propaganda, magnifying the risks. It would be 
interesting, for those that have that opinion, to look at the report 
dated November 20th from the US embassy in Caracas to CIA headquarters.

The document was not reported by any of the big news agencies, and much 
less by the western press.  But the alternative web site 'aporrea.org' 
reported the complete document to the world in an attempt to break the 
silence.  The memorandum begins with a report about the US fear, up to 
the last moment, of a 'YES' victory for constitutional reforms proposed 
by President Hugo Chavez. It urges persisting with putting out false 
surveys of a majority of the population in favour of a 'NO' vote. This 
was to create a favourable climate for organizing protests against the 
popular victory, which was expected at the time. And all this without 
forgetting the call for "civil disobedience" and alerting the organized 
military forces and groups in so-called "green" or "blue" countries, to 
act against the Bolivarian Revolution once the internal chaos began. It 
was nothing less than the Tenaza Plan orchestrated by Washington, and, 
according to the authors of the document already mentioned, its 
objective was not only to boycott the referendum at the polls, but to 
promote a series of subversive actions to definitively oust Hugo Chavez.

The US embassy in Caracas with a long list of internal collaborators, 
advised that it has already spent 8 million dollars on propaganda and 
payments to anti Chavez groups including a bank account number that, it 
says, has been detected  by government intelligence sources and cannot 
continue to be used for sending destabilization funds. And lastly, the 
official memorandum explains that all must done to gain an 
institutional or physical space in Venezuela, one way or another, 
lasting at least 72 hours in order to mobilize other internal and 
external forces to destroy the popular government. In few words, the 
document is a clear, precise and detailed confession of the 
aggressiveness and interference against the Venezuelan revolutionary 
process by Washington.

However, it is evident that for the big "news hunters" of the western 
press, this is of no great interest.

We have the "boys" of the White House talking about the freedom of the 
press, transparency and honesty, while they spread all the falseness 
they are capable of in order to confuse the people in the world.
