Covering Up the CIA'S Colombian Drug Ring
But first, a FALSE-FLAG FART MISTING:
"Chavez critics attacked with tear gas
CARACAS - Assailants attacked members of Venezuela's opposition with tear gas yesterday after President Hugo Chávez told police to use gas at antigovernment public disturbances ahead of a referendum on allowing the leftist leader's reelection.
Venezuelans will vote Feb. 15 on a proposed change to the constitution allowing Chávez and other politicians to stay in office as long as they keep winning elections. A similar proposal was defeated in a referendum in 2007 after large and sometimes violent protests led by students.
Between Sunday night and yesterday morning, unknown assailants threw tear gas canisters at the Vatican's embassy in Caracas and at the house of an antigovernment media mogul and set fire to a student leader's sport utility vehicle. Caracas's opposition mayor said gunmen forced their way into City Hall on Saturday, and gas canisters were lobbed at a student news conference broadcast live on television yesterday.
I'm NOT LIKING the STENCH already!
The series of gas attacks and the burning of student leader Ricardo Sanchez's car followed a speech by Chávez on Saturday calling for police to break up public disturbances with tear gas.
The government said the string of attacks was organized by the opposition and television station Globovision to cast the government in a bad light.
Why is it I believe the leftist-socialist government over my own? Our part in the 2002 coup and the demonization of the guy (because he sits on oil) have something to do with it?
Nevertheless, the press picks up the cudgel once again:
"Venezuela Indians say rebels moving in; FARC members' visibility growing" by Chris Kraul, Los Angeles Times | January 23, 2009
Yeah, well, I guess a defeated movement has to run somewhere, right? Convenient that Chavez would be taking them in (according to the war-promoting, enemy-creating MSM).
I mean, these groups NEVER DISAPPEAR because when all is said and done (look at the links above) the "enemy" invariably traces back to WESTERN INTEL AGENCIES in one form or fashion.
TOCUCO, Venezuela - Members of Colombia's largest rebel group live openly on or near several Indian reservations in western Venezuela with at least the tacit approval of President Hugo Chávez, indigenous leaders say.
Although the border area has long absorbed Colombian refugees fleeing decades of war, members of the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, have become visible as never before in the last two to three years, buying supplies, looking for medical assistance and forging relationships with indigenous women, said Venezuelan Congressman Arcadio Montiel, a Wayuu Indian.
Even as Colombia has been kicking the shit out of 'em, huh?
Leaders of several Indian communities clustered around this town in a wild rain-forest area that forms the border with Colombia told the Los Angeles Times recently that the FARC's presence is doing harm to their culture and youth.
"They have replaced the caciques, or chiefs, as authority figures, and so who do the youths now want to emulate? The rebels," said Javier Armato, a Yupa Indian and former Zulia state deputy and onetime Chávez supporter.
During his 10 years in office, socialist Chávez, a fierce critic of the United States, has often expressed admiration and affinity for the FARC. In 2007, Chávez said his country shared a border not with Colombia, but with territory controlled by the FARC.
Chávez has toned down his pro-FARC rhetoric since March when Colombian officials said data from a laptop recovered in a raid on a rebel camp in Ecuador indicated that the Venezuelan leader may have had contact with FARC leaders, even offering them material support. Chávez denied any such contact.
I am TIRED of FORGED EVIDENCE and BULLSHIT, folks, I really am!!!
"Chávez sees the rebels as a line of defense in the event of US interference or a civil war," said Montiel, another former Chavista who broke with the president over the presence of the FARC in his home state, Zulia, to join splinter party Podemos. He was interviewed recently in Caracas, the Venezuelan capital.
Montiel and several community leaders say the FARC operates camps in the Perija mountains to the west where, they say, the rebels rest and recuperate and recruit and train Venezuelan Indian youths. In an interview last year, Chávez political adviser Alberto Muller Rojas acknowledged the presence of Colombian rebels, saying that Venezuela has been a safe haven for more than 1 million Colombians fleeing war over the last several decades.
But NO THANKS for absorbing refugees from a U.S-sponsored WAR!!
I also note that the MSM never dare mention the CHEMICAL WARFARE of CROP FUMIGATION in the DRUG WAR -- only in exclusively FARC areas, of course!!!!
Muller Rojas said the rebels are more Colombia's responsibility than Venezuela's, as long as they don't harm local residents.
--more--"
Wow, that was sure a propaganda piece, huh? And that's all you know about Venezuela the last few weeks, according to the beast of Boston and New England's newspaper.
