Call to "Assassinate Chavez" by Congressman Mack Confirms
Plot<br><br>

</a>The exhortation to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez
uttered by Florida congressman Connie Mack in Washington's Capitol to
participants in a fascist summit a few days ago confirms the existence of
a plot with this purpose, hatched by the Venezuelan extreme right under
the tutelage of US intelligence services and with the complicity of the
Cuban-American mafia.<br><br>
This is indicated to observers of CIA activities and of the rest of the
tentacles of the US machinery of espionage, who recall how, on other
occasions, members of the Cuban-American mafia took the initiative or
were involved in assassination attempts on leaders.<br><br>
In his murderous address, made right at Washington's Capitol while
chairing, along with Otto Reich, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Roger Noriega,
at the meeting called "Danger in the Andes", Mack specifically
suggested making an attempt on the life of the Venezuelan head of state,
according to revelations made by Bolivian President Evo Morales during
the inauguration of the 9th International Conference of Defense Ministers
of The Americas, held in Bolivia.<br><br>
"I would say that this congressman (Mack) is now a confessed
assassin or a confessed conspirator against fraternal Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez; if something happens to the life of Hugo Chavez,
the only person responsible for it will be this US congressman,"
declared the head of state.<br><br>
GREEN LIGHT FOR ASSASSINATION<br><br>
The words of Connie Mack, identified with the most recalcitrant
ringleaders of this mafia give any kind of assassination project against
the life of the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution the green light,
states a specialist that insisted on remaining anonymous.<br><br>
The neo-Nazi forum took place under the auspices of the US Congress and
had as its star the Cuban-American congresswoman, already appointed by
her party as the big boss for foreign policy issues in the House of
Representatives, with Connie Mack as her right arm for Latin
America.<br><br>
From the assassination of John F. Kennedy to the assassination attempt
against Evo Morales in Santa Cruz in 2009, and the failed attempt of
assassinating President Rafael Correa in 2010, the Cuban-American mafia,
associated with the CIA, is part of the conspiracy's script.<br><br>
Mack's harangue takes place parallel to several incitements and
references to the assassination of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who has
indeed been the victim of a large number of assassination attempts, all
of them devised from Miami with the complicity of the CIA, those
responsible for which -Luis Posada Carriles, Orlando Bosch, Guillermo
Novo Sampoll, Pedro Remon, Gaspar Jimenez, Armando Valladares and many
more- actively support today conspirators from the progressive Latin
American countries attacked and defamed at the fascist summit in the
empire's capital.<br><br>
On Saturday, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez denounced the existence of
a plan against him, in which groups of the Venezuelan extreme right have
already collected 100 million dollars to be paid to whoever manages to
assassinate him.<br><br>
According to a report by the Telesur international television network,
Chavez pointed to the president of the Globovision television station,
Guillermo Zuloaga, a fugitive from Venezuelan justice and sheltered in
Miami by the State Department, as the head of the conspiracy. Coup
perpetrator Zuloaga was one of the most visible "speakers" of
the neofascist forum in Washington.<br><br>
"The owner of that television channel (Globovision), who is a
fugitive from justice, had the nerve to go to the US Congress to rant and
rave at his country, his government and at this president," said the
South American head of state. Then he called for Vice-president Elias
Jaua and the Attorney General of the Republic, Luisa Ortega Diaz, to make
inquiries "there's something to be done, he's a criminal, he turns
up at the Congress and he's conspiring."<br><br>
According to the AVN news agency, Zuloaga sent a letter published on
Tuesday on one of the most expensive pages of the right-wing newspaper El
Nacional "to face him" from Miami and threaten President Hugo
Chavez to take him to an international tribunal.<br><br>
German journalist and researcher Ingo Niebel, an expert on the issue,
places the recent statements in the political, military and historic
context. "In Ecuador, they tried to assassinate President Rafael
Correa when the coup d' etat failed. The want to use the same method in
the rest of the countries that are members of the Bolivarian Alliance for
The Americas (ALBA), where political reality prevents them from carrying
out a violent Honduras-like 'change of regime,' as they call it," he
adds.<br><br>
He also recalls that several Venezuelan politicians, by way of the media,
have been paving the way, for a few years now, to justify an
assassination attempt against the commander of the Bolivarian Revolution.
On July 25, 2004, in the middle of debates on the referendum for revoke,
the former president Carlos Andres Perez, in an interview published by El
Nacional, a Caracas newspaper, didn't hesitate to confess: "I'm
working on removing Chavez from power. Violence will make it possible to
do so. Chavez should die like a dog."<br><br>
Another opponent, Orlando Urdaneta, on October 25, 2004, on Miami's
channel 22, gave the direct order to his people to move on to action:
"The only way out for Venezuela is to eliminate Chavez: one person
with a rifle with telescopic sight and that's all."<br><br>
ROGER NORIEGA, SPOKESPERSON OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT<br><br>
Another revealing element known after the closing of the event: former
Undersecretary of State Roger Noriega took the liberty to announce, as if
on behalf of the State Department, that Bolivia's request for the
extradition of former president Gonzalo Sanchez de Quesada and his
accomplices, responsible for the assassination of 67 people during a
massacre that took place in 2003 will continue to be refused.<br><br>
According to a report by journalist Juan Carlos Zambrana Marchetti, who
lives in Washington and could sneak into one of the "workshops"
of the "seminar," entitled "Second Special Group:
Terrorism, the radical Islam, and Drug Trafficking," another
Bolivian journalist, Winston Fernandez, asked "if former president
Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada would be deported as an act of rapprochement
with President Morales, considering that the two governments were about
to reestablish diplomatic relations."<br><br>
(Note: The article by Zambrana, an extremely revealing one, was published
on the last edition of the Bolivian magazine Cambio).<br><br>
The answer was given by Noriega, asserting that there was "no
interest whatsoever in reestablishing relations with a government that
supports terrorism; and that, on the other hand, Engineer (Gonzalo)
Sanchez de Lozada is a friend, a decent man, who wouldn't have any
possibility of a fair trial in a country where ( President) Morales
controls all powers."<br><br>
As never before, since George W. Bush left the White House, the
Republicans are winning, taking advantage of the economic, social and
political crisis of the greatest military power in the world, discontent
and popular frustration, accentuated by the effects of the continuous
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.<br><br>
Benefiting from a majority in the Lower House, the party that brings
together the supporters of the most retrograde Right enjoys its hidden
connections with wide sectors of the so-called intelligence community to
thoroughly pressure the current Democrat administration.<br><br>
