As I recall--something that passed before my eyes about a week ago--Chavez moved swiftly to protect Venezuelan and other South American investors, when this Stanford shit hit the fan. Oh, yes, I think it was at BoRev.net. They were mocking the rich, fascist Venezuelans, who were saying that Chavez drove them to put their money in off-shore accounts in Stanford's care because of socialism or something. That's like, ya know, Bushwhacks blaming Obama for the Bushwhack-instigated Financial 9/11 they pulled off in September. You just want to tear your hair out with the insanity of such statements. They are beyond George Orwell and well into Lewis Carroll (nutso Red Queen demands that all the white roses be painted RED!).
Anyway, somewhere in there, maybe at a link, I picked up that Chavez--having cash reserves to do so, because of his government's excellent management of Venezuela's economy--was covering their deposits. Which some of them certainly did not deserve. They were no doubt looking not to pay their taxes or other crimes. Some might have been innocent, however--and there were a lot of savers/investors, as I recall, in five or six countries. It was basically the idea of the FDIC--guaranteeing their deposits. And, come to think of it, it was probably only the loudmouth ones, the rightwingers who blamed Chavez for their own foolish investments--they're the only ones who get press.
So-o-o-o, what could the Bushwhack CIA have been up to in Venezuela, late last year--that they were running through Stanford? A lot of possibilities, beginning with the Stanford scam itself--basically another pyramid scheme (offering impossibly high returns on investments to rake in the doe, then skipping out), like the one that got exposed around the same time in Colombia, as a matter of fact, and like the one here, which was a pyramid scheme writ very, very, very, VERY large. Could have been an effort to make sure that Venezuela got hit hard, too--a destabilization hit, preparatory to something else. Same time period: The Bushwhacks were funding and organizing fascist rioters and murderers in Bolivia, trying to destabilize and topple Evo Morales' government. Rafael Correa said it was a three-country plot (Bolivia, Venezuela, Ecuador). (Also, remember, early in 2008, Correa had to purge some CIA operatives from his military--after that U.S./Colombia-instigated almost war between Colombia and Ecuador.) So, Stanford may have been in the middle of this three-country plot, funneling the money around.
Then there was the later incident of the Venezuelan fascist opposition meeting a Bushwhack diplomat in Puerto Rico, seeking $3 million to defeat the term limits referendum. I wonder if that was Stanford-run money. Somewhere in here, Venezuela's intelligence agency got onto Stanford and raided his offices. That raid was more than likely about the CIA running money through Stanford to coup plotters. They had to meet in Puerto Rico, to arrange it, because...
...Morales threw the U.S. ambassador out of Bolivia, in September, and Chavez did the same in Venezuela, for that murderous meddling in Bolivia--and, on Chavez's part, we now know, for running CIA ops through Stanford's bank. That solves one mystery. They met in Puerto Rico because there was no U.S. ambassador in Caracas to broker the deal and release the money.
With Obama on a path to win the election here, the Bushwhack CIA (and the DEA, in Bolivia) would have had some very serious cleaning up to do. This would likely have involved their drug trafficking, their weapons trafficking, assassination plots and coup plots, as well as all the funding. I'm thinking of that USAID-trained rightwing student, likely a CIA operative, who was running big scams in Zulia--involving student bus passes but probably also drugs (I think he had a million dollars in his bank account)--who got shot in a drive-by shooting. Did their tidying up include murder? Is some of the high murder rate in Venezuela due to the CIA eliminating operatives who knew too much, or had become too independent or too expensive, or too blabby, and also witnesses and potential whistleblowers--as they got ready for a new regime in the White House? (It would be interesting to know if that student's money was in Stanford's bank.)
I think what this is adding up to is the Bolivarians (Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador) and their allies (Brazil, Argentina, Chile) busted the Bushwhack CIA, and defeated that 3-country plot, back then, in September. And with the CIA's banker busted, whatever ops the Bushwhacks (in a private capacity) or the Obama administration are running would now have to be very covert.
This may explain something else that puzzled me at the time: Colombia voted with the others, as a member of UNASUR, to make UNASUR's action with regard to the Bushwhack coup attempt in Bolivia unanimous. Colombia is a U.S./Bush Cartel client state. But with Chavez and the others onto the CIA's laundered drug money (via the Stanford raid), Bush buddy Uribe could be pressured to vote yea, against U.S./Bushwhack interests. Uribe is former Medellin Cartel, and likely very dirty on drug money. Right now, I can't remember if there were Colombian investors in Stanford. I also don't have a good timeline for these events. I'm just guessing at the sequence. (Did the Stanford bust come first, then throwing the U.S. ambassadors out of Bolivia and Venezuela, etc.?).
In any case, a whole new dimension to the events of the last year in South America opens up with this Stanford/CIA business. Also, we may now have a further clue as to how the Bolivian coup was defeated; how unanimity was achieved, not just with colombia, but also with centrist players like Batchelet who led the UNASUR response. (She doesn't any more CIA bullshit in her country, to be sure!); and how many things occurred, that were victories for the new leftist leaders. They got onto Stanford and how the money was being laundered and distributed, and to whom. It may explain fascist parties in the three countries standing down, on coup activities, with three important Constitutional votes occurring in the three targeted countries (how and why those votes went as smoothly as they did).
So maybe the situation now is that the left has the goods on the right--on all kinds of illegal and traitorous activities. And, finally, it may explain that absurd CIA "suitcase full of money" caper out of Miami, with the Bushbot U.S. attorney trying to sully Chavez as dirty. They were preparing for potential exposure of all this, and were devising a counter-narrative.
Sorry to indulge in such a long speculation, but the Stanford connection is looking like the "eye of the storm," around which all else swirls.
