U.S. interference in Venezuela

Don't think by the previous post that the U.S. is not going to continue its attempts to destruct Venezuela's democracy. That's a very important piece of property, not only for the oil, but for its president's organizing skills amongst other Latin American countries.

Oscar Heck writes:

I received ...a new(er) list of Venezuelan “organizations” which have been receiving financing from the US government.

Some of the information (much of which was only “liberated” by using the US Freedom of Information Act) has been censored by the US government and/or by some of its institutions.

According to the link above, a company called Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI) has been involved in what I might call the “quiet” distribution of US government funds to anti-Chavez sectors in Venezuela ... under the facade of pro-democracy work, of course.

DAI apparently operates a contract called “Venezuela Confidence Building Initiative (CBI),” which manages 67 USAID grants (worth millions of dollars) to Venezuelan “organizations” which, at first appear to be “democracy building organizations” ... whatever that means.

Taking a closer look, it becomes almost obvious that the recipients of these millions of “democratic dollars” are probably the same gang of anti-Chavez Venezuelans who have been trying to “get rid” of Chavez in the last three years.

If I had to stake a bet, I'd stake it on that likelihood. Also, if you read the entire Eva Gonzales report from the previous post, you would have read that NED's president attempted in his recent visit to get pro-Chávez groups to accept some NED money in a desperate attempt to look impartial, and only interested in democracy. They declined the offer.

What kind of world are we living in when self-proclaimed democracies (the USA and England, for example) promote and finance criminals and terrorists abroad?

It is lowly and sad ... and it should be embarrassing to the millions of innocent taxpayers whose taxes are going to finance anti-democratic and violence-promoting forces abroad.

The other piece of interesting information which I received is that Cuba has been exporting its literacy programs to other countries. Most VHeadline.com readers will know that the Venezuelan education Missions (Mision Rivas, Mision Robinson, etc.) are based on Cuban teaching techniques ... and most VHeadline.com readers will also know that the Venezuelan anti-Chavez movement used this as a “proof” that Chavez was heading toward communism...

Now ... here is the funniest part ... New Zealand and Mexico are also using the Cuban teaching techniques ...

So ... will New Zealand become a communist country too? How about Mexico?

Just a little heads up there for all you liberals who have been planning your escape to New Zealand.
