Venezuela FM: FARC Weapons Claim A "Dirty Campaign"

[subsuelo]

Caracas, June 28, 2009 (venezuelanalysis.com) – Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicholas Maduro on Monday denounced insinuations by Colombian Vice President Francisco Santos that Venezuela is providing weapons to Colombian guerillas as a as a “dirty campaign” to justify the presence of US military bases in the neighboring country.

Santos told Colombian radio station, Caracol Radio on Monday, that AT4 shoulder-fired rockets manufactured by Saab Bofors Dynamics in Sweden and purchased by Venezuela in the 1980’s were seized from a Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrilla camp.

“This is not the first time that this has happened,” Santos claimed. “In several operations in which we have recovered weapons from the FARC, we have found powerful munitions and powerful equipment, including anti-tank weapons, from a European country that sold them to Venezuela and that turned up in the hands of the FARC.”

...

The foreign minister compared the claims to the international media campaign in the lead up to the Iraq war alleging that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction; “an argument that served the United States to justify the invasion of that country and take control of its oil.”

...

At a press conference on Monday Venezuelan Interior and Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami categorized the claims as “a new attack against our government based on lies.”

“It doesn’t surprise us that once again a new archive has appeared in Reyes super-computer, this new media show forms part of an aggression against our people, against our government and its institutions,” El Aissami told reporters.

“We absolutely deny that our government or our institutions are providing assistance to criminal and terrorist organizations,” he sustained.

1. Maduro got that right. This is very likely part of a leadup to Oil War II-South America.

Examination of this latest psyops lie about Venezuela:

“'This is not the first time that this has happened,' Santos claimed."

Uh-huh. And where is the evidence that any weapons of later than 1980s vintage went from Europe to Venezuela to the FARC? The only evidence they have is thirty years old. This claim is even worse than the Bushwhacks' bullshit about Iraq. I've watched this psyops campaign against Chavez for two years now. These wild charges appear and disappear like clockwork--and are never substantiated, and are not intended that way. They are psyops. They are intended to create an impression that is the opposite of the truth, and to hammer these impressions into peoples' brains--especially people here in the U.S.--to soften them up, and I can only surmise, given the increasing intensity of this psyops campaign, and the immense money and energy that is being poured into it, and many other indicators, that they are softening us up for Oil War II.

One other thing: whatever fascists thugs like those running Colombia (or our own Bushwhacks) accuse others of doing, they are doing. Psyops are educational, in that respect--if you know how to read them. What this item tells us is that the corrupt, fascist Colombian government and military is trafficking in weapons, big time. With $6 BILLION in US military aid, they have lots of them to trade off to their drug cartel and death squad friends--in Colombia and other countries.
