Venezuela's Chavez Rages at U.S. Over 'Terrorists'
Venezuela's Chavez Rages at U.S. Over 'Terrorists'
Wed Sep 24, 7:01 PM ET Add World - Reuters to My Yahoo!


By Pascal Fletcher

CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez accused the United States on Wednesday of harboring "terrorists" plotting to kill him and told the U.S. and Spanish governments to stop meddling in his country's affairs.


The left-wing populist president has clashed with Washington over many issues, including the U.S. occupation of Iraq (news - web sites), but this was his most virulent attack so far against the country that is the leading buyer of Venezuela's oil.

1. He needs to get proof and take it to the World Court.
Not that it would be easy, but damn, if it's true, I hope he can prove it.

6. A story from a few days ago said Chavez has video or audio to prove...
...his claim of CIA interference, causing him to cancel his trip to the US.

Maybe it was this one (all in Spanish except last link):

F-4 Commandos site.
The terrorists that America 'shelters'.
http://www.comandosf4.org

Several links about the training and collaboration between F-4 and a Venezuelan group.
http://www.comandosf4.org/newspaper/2002-10-11_56.htm
http://www.comandosf4.org/newspaper/2002-10-22_4a.htm

Here's a reprinted Wall Street Journal article about the alliance and shared training between the F-4 Commandos and the 'Venezuelan Patriotic Junta'.
http://www.comandosf4.org/newspaper/2003-01-29.htm

Here's a quote from the WSJ article:

But Capt. García, 37, the leader of the Venezuelan Patriotic Junta seems to be hedging his bets. A strapping 6-footer whose close-cut hair ¡s streaked with gray, Capt. García was one of the first military officers to openly defy Mr. Chavez. During last April's abortive military coup against Mr. Chavez, Capt. García was grazed by a bullet on the side of the head as he stormed the presidential palace by a back door.

Now Capt. García says he is providing military training for some 50 members of the F-4 Commandos, 30 of them Cuban-Americans, the rest Venezuelans, ¡n a shooting range close to the Everglades. "We are preparing for war," he says. Nevertheless, his movement opposes military coups. "Our struggle is to show the world how Chavez is the enemy of democracy."

9. Found another interesting thing there
Edited on Fri Sep-26-03 08:15 PM by htuttle
Here's a link to a letter that the F-4 Commandos sent pResident Bush:

http://www.comandosf4.org/archivos/carta_bush_02.htm

I guess since Bush should have the return address of that letter, he can go catch the terrorists. Right?

If that doesn't help them, F-4 has their address and telephone number on this page:
http://www.comandosf4.org/contact_us.htm

I suppose that the Department of Justice will crack down on them any day, right? (not)

3. I'll bet
the CIA is already planning for the overthrow of the to-be-elected government of Iraq if that government isn't friendly enough to the right people.

4. It Isn't the CIA, It's Clark's friends the MPRI, the CIA is PISSED at Bush
Clark's friends at the MPRI have got almost all the dirty wet work in Latin America under government contracts negotiated in part under Clark's tenure as Head of the Southern Command.

The CIA and Pentagon insiders HATE Bush, Rumsfeld and Rove -- but the military corporations who do PRIVATE military work for the shadow government LOVE Bush and Clark.


MPRI --- friends in high places and contoversial military projects handled discretely!!!


Google MPRI. Google MPRI and Clark.

Google MPRI and Latin America and "covert"
