First, we would like to respond to the US Government's repeated attempts to mislead international opinion about the role of Venezuela in helping bring peace to its neighbours and particularly, President Hugo Chavez' Peace Formula for Colombia, including the release of hostages caught in the world's longest civil war in history; negotiated peace settlement between the Government of President Alvaro Uribe and Para-military groups opposed to the Government in Bogota the disarmament of all armed groups and return of lasting peace and political stability in Colombia.
Many a time, President Hugo Chavez has continued to assure the people of Colombia his country's goodwill, sincerity and willingness to see peace restored to its neighbours and Colombia joining the morally civilised world with dignity and pride.
Hiding behind the facade of the perceived war on terror, imperialism promotes a milieu of insecurity, fear and intimidation as weapons to control and dominate others. Suffice it to reiterate our concerned that, Venezuela has in recent times been attacked and threatened with violent political, diplomatic and military terrorism by the North American empire using precisely fascist rogues like Colombian President Uribe and local settlers' oligarchies for these purposes. Rude statements, false allegations, lies, deceptions and slander, supported by the corporate media are being tailored and fit to mislead the international community and to create the impression that Venezuela condone acts of terrorism in neighbouring Colombia and therefore should be listed as state sponsor of terrorism.
This imperialist madness, which has the support of only descendants of Adolf Hitler and Fascist murderers, has been heightened further with the CIA invention of a special laptop computer purportedly claimed to have been found during Colombia's invasion and aggression of Ecuador on 1st March, 2008. In this laptop, it is said it contains documents that suggest Venezuela is funding one of Colombia's Para-military groups, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). It was also claimed that the documents retrieved from the laptop suggest Venezuela may have handed the sum of three hundred million United States dollars to the FARC. We are also made to understand from the same documents that FARC has acquired fifty (50) kilogram of Uranium to commence nuclear weapons program in Colombia.
Since then neither the Colombia security, which are the main tools in the anti-Venezuela campaign nor representatives of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operating in that region, i.e. the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and US Agency for International Development (USAID) have responded to growing public demand for thorough explanation on how the said computer was discovered, how it happened, whether through air, land or sea invasion of Ecuador; and sources of the uranium the US-Colombian neo-cons believe has been acquired by FARC.
Those familiar with US international dirty politics and thirsts for individual world domination through degradation and dehumanisation of whole nations, whole peoples and whole regions understand President Bush new strategy of finding scapegoats to utilise in an attempt to justify the invasion and occupation of countries like Iraq, Afghanistan or Somalia. There re growing protests around the world against imperialist wars and continue to demands an immediate end to the holocaust terror unleashing on the population in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon and Somalia.
Our views with regards to the much wide publicised assumption in the corrupt media about the so-called Venezuela's support for the FARC, which we believe are the views of the wider international community have been made crystal clear from the word go. The assumed laptop computer is a manipulation by the Bush Administration and its Colombian "dogs of rogues."
It is a complete fabrication and bunch of malicious lies designed to slander and undermine the dignity and integrity of the Bolivarian Republic. Only mentally sick people and perverted minds would get associated with these ill-thought-out policies of imperialism and damned nasty lies against Venezuela.
The truth of the whole matter is that, the people of Colombia have known no peace for over fifty years now. Venezuela has no territorial ambition beyond its international borders and has no intention to make such claims today or in the future. Venezuela has never posed any threat to any of its neighbours nor attempted to impose on them.
What President Hugo Chavez has been doing, and which is expected of any responsible leadership is to help those in need. The people of Colombia are in need of peace and President Chavez is only responding to the urgent need of the people of Colombia for peace, and this the Bolivarian leader is championing on humanitarian basis. Nothing more than this!
For the US Government to bend on concealing, distorting and defaming Venezuela's humanitarian assistance to the people of Colombia is criminal to say the least. We see nothing wrong for the Government of Venezuela to embark on comprehensive program designed to protect and defend the interests, and uplift the status and living standards of its people.
We see nothing wrong if the Government of Venezuela extends its humanitarian gestures to war-ravaged Colombia. This is because peace is Colombia means stability for the whole of the Americas.
Time and again, President Hugo Chavez has made his opposition to terrorism unequivocal and known. He has repeatedly condemned terror and terrorism and those who condone the evil act. He condemns the terror unleashed on innocent lives, which today has resulted to deaths of millions of people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Palestine, Somalia and elsewhere.
The Venezuelan leader stands high above others as the leader who is so honest, bold, courageous and practical to say to the FARC disarm for the sake of peace and good of the people of Colombia, and the entire Central, Latin and Southern American region. He made this statement with the warning that member-states of the Organisation of the American States (OAS) would no longer tolerate the continuation of the conflict in Colombia and that all sides must be ready and prepared for negotiated peaces settlement.
We wish to warn the Bush-Uribe alliance to give peace a chance and hands off Venezuela. Any attempt to destabilise Venezuela, we want to assure the US Government and its criminal allies that would be equally meted with the most formidable and coordinated resistance world wide.
Venezuela will not become another Iraq ... and Caracas not another Baghdad.
- No to Alvaro Uribe's Nazist conspiracy!
- No to Alvaro Uribe's manufactured lies and deceptions!
- No to Alvaro Uribe's subversive policies!
- No to Alvaro Uribe's narco state!
- No to Alvaro Uribe's murderous acts!
- No to Alvaro Uribe's fascist terrorism!
- No to Alvaro Uribe's international militarism!
This has already begun to manifest itself with the holding on May 4, 2008 in the Bolivian eastern province of Santa Cruz what supposed to be a national referendum, but in actual fact it was nothing but an illegal, unconstitutional, unjust and vicious attempt to destabilise the peace, unity and democratic culture of Bolivia, under President Evo Morales. It was a well planned conspiracy by the US Government and its allies that bent on fanning the embers of instability and genocide.
We support the unity of Bolivia as a free, independent, sovereign nation and the indigenous Government of President Evo Morales. We reiterate our solidarity with the Bolivian people to free themselves of the remaining clutches shackles and virus of 500 years of "settlers' colonialism, racist apartheid, fascism, oppression, exploitation, degradation and dehumanisation".
We encourage also the Bolivian people to resist all attempts by the enemies of mankind to carve a "Kosovo" out of their national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The centrepiece of the Bush-CIA agenda is to have control over regional governments in Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Guatemala and more in the Americas. The next move as has been drawn on the board for clinical execution is to target the natural rich regions of Venezuela and Ecuador. The US Government is planning to import Photostat copies of the illegal, unjust, unconstitutional Bolivian Santa Cruz event into Venezuela's west and southwest regions along the borders with Colombia and to the province of Guayas in Ecuador.
Charity first starts at home, according to the wise adage. We believe for the Bush Administration to push for autonomy drive in the Americas and elsewhere, and for its success, it must first be allowed to be take place in places like Texas and Alaska that may not want to share their oil wealth with the rest of the United States of America. We should not shy to tell the neo-cons in Washington and their doomed allies that to pursue the path of common sense and understand that what is not good for the people of America and their Western European counterparts is not good also for any race, country or nation on earth.
The issue of US designed autonomy movement to germinate elsewhere and not in mainland America is rubbish and waste. The Bolivian indigenous people are poised to confront their enemies who are bent on robbing their future.
The real objectives of U.S. imperialism in inventing the autonomy movement in the Americas are profoundly self-serving. One important objective is to destroy the Bolivarian socialist revolution and strive to dismantle the unity of sovereignties, replacing them with strings of small, highly unstable mini-states which it can dominate economically, politically and militarily. US imperialism has also a special interest in entrenching itself in the Central, Latin and Southern American regions.
Imperialism, especially its "military-industrial complex," is also using its so called war on terror to ignite a new and incredibly wasteful round of the arms race in the new global era of war and occupation.
The most important goal of US imperialism is however to use Venezuela as a turning point to consolidate its global role as the only superpower and to send a menacing signal to all states and all peoples that its dictates will be ruthlessly enforced through terrorism, blatant lies, deceptions and blackmail, and even by military means, if necessary. To this end, U.S. imperialism is prepared to gut all international law protecting the territorial integrity of states and the sovereignty of nations. Part of this imperialist strategy is the complete sidelining of the role of the United Nations and its Security Council, in favour of a return to the "law of the jungle" in which US domination prevails.
- This is perhaps the most significant and terrifying objective of US imperialism at the present time.
Now, the American military machine wants to rule the world. Colombia's Alvaro supports for US destabilisation efforts in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia is support for the kind of thinking that is directing the American military machine, which is taking many, many lives.
Venezuela must live! Bolivia must live! Ecuador must live!
The revolution triumphs!
