Warnings about destabilization in Venezuela should be taken seriously

http://peoplesworld.org/warnings-about-destabilization-in-venezuela-should-be-taken-seriously/



<snip>

The media in the United States have been on a nonstop campaign of slander against Chavez, Maduro and the leftist government of Venezuela, so it was no surprise that these developments caused various media to suggest that Maduro is paranoid or lying.

But all of the things that Maduro mentioned have at least some history behind them.

There are theories that certain microorganisms can stimulate the growth of cancer, and there are cases of it being induced via the introduction of radioactive substances into a person's body.

As to the involvement of U.S. embassy and military personnel in fomenting coups d'état in countries whose governments the U.S. government does not like, there are a great many examples. A running joke in Latin America is this: Question, "Why has there never been a coup d'état in the United States?" Answer: "Because there is no U.S. embassy in Washington D.C."

There are myriads of examples of the USA destabilizing Latin American regimes that they don't like and especially LEFTIST ones. If I were Venezuelan, I'd be worried about it too.

Everybody talks about "conspiracy theories" as crap until evidence comes out that they actually WERE conspiracies. It's happened too many times.

the Venezuelan regime - they'll manage to do it for themselves quite handily without any help.

want to get their hands on - particularly for new technologies. Africa will be the next region to "need democracy".
