After ten years of running a scrupulously lawful, beneficial government, "Hugo" is about to become AUTHORITARIAN and a DICTATOR! Didn't they tell us he was...er...will soon be?
The Bushites are running rampant in South America, organizing, funding, and likely arming fascist secession groups in the oil-rich state of Zulia, in Venezuela, and in oil-rich provinces of Ecuador and Bolivia--all three countries with leftist/majorityist governments that the fascists cannot defeat in fair and honest elections--so secession is the latest Bushite strategy for getting control of the oil. Fascist goons in Venezuela, in cahoots with the Bush/U.S. Embassy, perpetrated a violent military coup, in Venezuela, in 2002, in which they kidnapped President Chavez and threatened his life, and suspended the Constitution, the National Assembly, the courts and ALL CIVIL RIGHTS. (The Chavez government was saved by the Venezuelan people, who came out into the streets in the tens of thousands to protest the coup.*) One of the signers of those coup d'etat documents is now leading the secessionists in Zulia. In Bolivia, the Bushites are organizing, funding and likely arming WHITE SEPARATISTS--vicious 'apartheid' racists--who are trying to split-off the gas/oil rich eastern provinces into a fascist mini-state, to deny benefit of Bolivia's resources to the poor majority. And there is a similar Bushite-instigated plot in oil-rich Ecuador.
The Bushites are trying every dirty rotten scheme in their playbook to DESTROY DEMOCRACY IN SOUTH AMERICA, and regain global corporate predator control of the oil--from funding the assassins and mass murderers in Colombia ($5.5 BILLION in military aid--and that's just the visible budget), to (Rumsfeld**) "Office of Special Plans" black ops (multi-millions of our tax dollars in Bushite-CIA ops out of Miami and other fascist centers), to USAID-NED funding of local rightwing political groups and U.S.-based election theft firms like Penn & Schoen organizing the fascists in these oil-rich South American democracies (including, no doubt, faux "human rights" groups - we need to look into Provea, described above as a "Venezuelan" human rights group - where are they getting their money?). They are furthermore using U.S. military bases for illegal flyovers of Venezuelan and other countries' territories--for spying and harassment. They've reconstituted the 4th Fleet (nuclear fleet) to wander around off the coast of Venezuela. They very likely recently used the U.S. base in Manta, Ecuador, U.S. high tech surveillance, U.S. "smart bombs"--and possibly U.S. aircraft and personnel--in a Colombia bombing/raid on Ecuadoran territory (to kill the chief FARC hostage negotiator, who was trying to release hostages to the presidents of Venezuela, Ecuador, France and others, in a bid to end the 40+ year Colombian civil war.) And there have been several assassination plots against Chavez and other leftist leaders hatched in Bush/U.S.-funded Colombia, where they've slaughtered thousands of union leaders, political leftists, small peasant farmers, human rights workers and journalists.
The Chavez government and other leftist governments in South America would be FOOLS not to have their own spying capability. They would be derelict in their duty to preserve their countries, their peoples and their democracies from Bushite/fascist overthrow and other nefarious schemes (like secession). The president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, has also instituted a purge of CIA operatives in Ecuador's military and intelligence agencies (after the Manta incident), and has pledged to throw the U.S. military base at Manta out of Ecuador. The new leftist president of Paraguay has also pledged to throw the U.S. air base out of Paraguay. All of these countries are rejecting the corrupt, failed, murderous U.S. "war on drugs," U.S. militarization of their societies, U.S.-dominated "free trade," arrogant U.S.-based multinationals, and U.S./Bush fascism. The president of Brazil recently proposed a South American defense organization, not including the U.S., because the U.S. has very clearly become the ENEMY. There is no other. WE are the enemy!
Enough of this bloody U.S. interference! Enough!
And you can be sure that the governments of Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil and all the other leftist governments are going to END U.S. interference in South America with all of their civil and human rights in tact. That's who they are. They are democrats. They are progressives. Their purpose is social justice and Latin American sovereignty. It is the FASCISTS--whom the Bushites are massively funding--who throw the opposition out of airplanes or carve up their bodies, alive, with chainsaws and throw their body parts into mass graves, and slaughter thousands of innocent people for merely expressing their political views. It is fascists who ARE doing this, right now, in Colombia, funded by US, and who will do it all across South America, once again, if the democratic governments of the region are not vigilant and fail to protect themselves. It is FASCISTS who overthrew the Venezuelan Constitution and suspended all civil rights. Not Chavez. The Bush-funded FASCISTS (who are now trying to secede from Venezuela and take the oil with them).
Let's try to keep straight WHO is a threat to civil and human rights. It is NOT the democratically elected leftists in South America.
