Venezuela Expels US Military Attache, Alleges Sabotage Of Electric Grid

Tyler Durden's picture




As the world awaits the outcome of Chavez's latest 'severe infection', the Venezuelan headlines appear to have become more and more surreal...

  • *VENEZUELA'S MADURO SAYS CHAVEZ ENEMIES CAUSED HIS ILLNESS
  • *VENEZUELA EXPELS U.S. MILITARY ATTACHE, MADURO SAYS
  • *VENEZUELA HAS INFORMATION ON SABOTAGE TO ELECTRIC GRID: MADURO

As Bloomberg notes, Maduro says U.S. official was meeting with Venezuelan military officials and was seeking to destabilize country. Or perhaps it is all about distraction?

Wait so you're saying that American foreign policy (little known to the American People themselves) is to go into natural-resource-rich countries and TAKE their resources at ANY cost necessary?

 

American and British oil companies always hated a resouce-rich country's president who wanted the oil for their own countrymen.

Someone served up some strontium or plutonium or some other radioactive agent to Chavez, and it seems likely to have been the CIA.

Is it me, or does OhBuma have a resemblance to that guy from the BORG collective on Star Trek, or Star Wars, or Lost in Space, or -- well you know one of those sci fi series.

That blue tie is the kiss of death.

 

...Shall be born a strong master of Mohammed,
He will enter Europe wearing a blue turban.
He will be the terror of mankind.
Never more horror.

Chavez likely on his way to eternal slumber.

The infighting is probably intense right about now to decide who replaces him and how.

And if they have no money to fix the electrical grid and people are pissed off - how convenient to blame it on a U.S. Diplomat.

What...did he do it with his briefcase?

Yes - sounds like a shakedown to me - only problem is the leader of the free world is MISTER SHAKEDOWN.   Amateurs should sit down.

He's faltering.  I think his health may be failing as well.  Maybe FBI or NSA is doing more to watch out for us than we know?

Before I drown in a sea of red arrows, a disclaimer. I do know that "cancer" is a blanket word for many different diseases with several causes. Anything where there is uncontrolled cellular division is called "cancer". With that said...

http://english.pravda.ru/world/americas/05-01-2012/120158-south_america-0/

"Over 18 months period four progressive leaders of Latin America and their fellow citizens were shocked by the diagnosis delivered by their physicians - cancer. Fernando Lugo, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, Hugo Chavez, and recently Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner were given this diagnosis. The Presidents of Paraguay, Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina suspiciously simultaneously turned out on the verge of survival."

By the way... the current Brazilian president, Ms. Rousseff, also had cancer when she was the most likely person in Lula's party to get the nomination to compete for the presidency as successor. Nothing to see here, move along...

Edit: let's also not forget Mr. Castro's cancer.

I'll just leave this here..............

 

Advertising executive Ed Haslam discussed how his investigation of the 1964 murder of a cancer researcher led him to a story which connects a massive contamination of the polio vaccine to our current cancer epidemic and even the JFK assassination. "When you look at the story, each piece fits in with each other piece, very cleanly and very logically," Haslam observed, "it's only when you stand back and look at it, that it looks as strange as it does."

of course the cia / usa terrorist organizations were trying to sabotage the electrical grid and i would not be the least bit surprised to discover that the cia infected chavez - lord knows how many times they tried to kill off castro. and then there was the usa murder of allende, the ousting of arbenz in the 1950s, the contra activities in nicaragua, the murder of a panamanian president, the invasion of panama to silence another panamanian leader....my god, the murders and coups by the bush crime syndicate's cia are innumerable and legion...oh and we can't forget their murder of jim jones and his 900+ followers in their colony in guyana....

ever looked at what was going on in mena arkansas when clinton was governor?  you might find a connection or two there that may make you re-evaluate your assessment of what constitutes the "bush crime family".
