Post-Election Sabotage: Washington Seeks to Destabilize Venezuela

By Stephen Lendman

...

Maduro pulled no punches. He pointed fingers the right way, saying:

“The United States embassy has financed all the acts of violence in this country.” Earlier he expelled two US military attaches involved. He accused another embassy employee of plotting to sabotage Venezuela’s electrical grid.

“I will use a hard hand against fascism and intolerance,” he added. “I declare it. If they want to overthrow me, come and get me. Here I am with the people and the armed forces.”

He asked Venezuelans:

“Decide who you are with, with the country and peace and the people, or are you going to go back to be with fascism?”

On April 16, Washington Post editors headlined “Nicolas Maduro shoves aside democracy in Venezuela.”They falsely accused him of “preparing to maintain….power through brute force….”


He “claimed that a coup was being prepared. (I)f anyone is preparing a coup, it is Mr. Maduro and his Cuban advisors.”

He “appears to be preparing repressive measures that should be intolerable to members of the Organization of American States, who are bound by treaty to resist violations of democratic order.”

Obama “should begin coordinating with Mexico, Chile and other important Latin American democracies to prevent Mr. Maduro from killing his way into power.”

1. Nah, US government just wants "democracy" and "freedom" and another Pinochet for Venezuela.

Look how well it worked in Chile for example.
