</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; text-align: justify;">During the past
few months, the Venezuelan
government led by President Nicolas Maduro has denounced multiple
incidents of
sabotage against the country’s electrical infrastructure along with an
ongoing
campaign to undermine the nation’s economy. A majority of international
media,
together with private media in Venezuela, have ridiculed the Venezuelan
President’s accusations, and have instead attempted to pin
responsibility on
the government for the instability and harm caused to the country by
these
actions. Nevertheless, an internal document authored by three
organizations
from Colombia and the United States, evidences a sinister plan against
the
Venezuelan state to provoke violence – even death – with the intention
of
justifying an international intervention in anticipation of municipal
elections
scheduled for next December 8.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">The document, titled
“Strategic Venezuelan
Plan”, was prepared by the Democratic Internationalism Foundation (</span><span
lang="ES-TRAD"><a href="http://fidauv.org/"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">http://fidauv.org</span></a></span><span
style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">), headed by ex Colombian
president Alvaro
Uribe, together with the First Colombia Think Tank (</span><span
lang="ES-TRAD"><a href="http://www.pensamientocolombia.org/"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">http://www.pensamientocolombia.org</span></a></span><span
style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">) and the US Consulting
firm, FTI Consulting (</span><span lang="ES-TRAD"><a
href="http://www.fticonsulting.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial;">http://www.fticonsulting.com</span></a></span><span
style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">). Dated June 13, 2013, the
plan was developed
during a meeting between representatives from these three
organizations,
leaders of the Venezuelan opposicion, including Maria Corina Machado,
Julio
Borges and Ramon Guillermo Avelado, expert in psychological operations
J.J.
Rendon and the Director of the US Agency for International Development
(USAID)
for Latin America, Mark Feierstein. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">The strategic plan to
destabilize Venezuela has
the primary goal of debilitating the government before the December 8
municipal
elections, as revealed in the document: “The objectives put forth in
the
present plan are essentially geared towards the municipal elections set
for
December 8, while at the same time including the accelerated
deterioration of
the government, facilitating an opposition victory for this event...”
Though
the text states further, “...but if it could be done beforehand, that
would be
even better”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">The document also
details the strategy to
sabotage the electrical system in Venezuela, with the objective of
blaming the
government for a weak infrastructure and therefore projecting an image
of
crisis in Venezuela on an international level. As part of the plan, the
authors
propose, “To maintain and increase the sabotages that affect public
services,
particularly the electrical system, that will enable responsibility to
be
placed on the government for supposed inefficiencies and negligence”.
For the
past few months, blackouts and other electrical shortages have affected
different regions throughout Venezuela, causing general discontent and
reflecting negatively on the government. Just weeks ago, Venezuelan
authorities
detained various individuals involved in sabotaging the electrical
system and
at the end of September, President Maduro expelled three US diplomats
from the
US Embassy in Caracas for their alleged role in destabilization plans
against
the state. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">In the section labeled
“Actions”, the authors
of the document detail their next steps to undermine the Venezuelan
government.
In addition to “Perfecting the confrontational discourse of Henrique
Capriles”,
the opposition candidate who lost to Maduro in April’s presidential
elections,
they also talk of “Generating emotion with short messages that reach
the
largest quantity of people and emphasize social problems, provoking
social
discontent. Increase problems with supply of basic consumer products”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">Throughout the year,
Venezuela has experienced
problems with the supply of basic products, such as toilet paper,
sugar, milk,
oil, butter, flour and other food staples. Venezuelan authorities have
confiscated tons of these products illegally held inside warehouses
belonging
to opposition businesses. They have also captured large quantities of
these
items on the border with Colombia, where they are sold as contraband. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">According to the
document, “The Strategic
Venezuelan Plan, agreed upon by representatives from the opposition to
the
government of Nicolas Maduro, is oriented towards these objectives with
the
strong and constant support of various world figures who aim to return
Venezuela to the true democracy and independence, which has been
kidnapped for
more than 14 years”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">During the 14 years of
President Hugo Chavez’s
democratic governance, threats against his administration were abundant
and
destabilization plans never ceased. After the failure of the 2002 coup
d’etat
against Chavez, which was defeated by his millions of supporters and
was organized
by the US government, there were numerous attempts to oust him through
economic
sabotages, electoral interventions, assassination plots, psychological
warfare,
multimillion-dollar funding to opposition groups from US agencies and a
plan to
isolate Venezuela on an international level, that never had success. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">One of the most
visible faces of attempts to subvert
Chavez’s government was ex Colombian president Alvaro Uribe. The former
Colombian head of state ended his presidency in 2010 calling for
international
intervention in Venezuela in order to destroy Chavez and his Bolivarian
Revolution. Uribe has dedicated himself since then to difame Chavez and
his
legacy, as well as strengthen his ties to anti-Chavez groups inside and
outside
Venezuela. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">The death of Preisdent
Chavez in March 2013
didn’t stop Uribe from continuing his actions against Venezuela. With
the
election of Nicolas Maduro to the presidency and the continuation of
the
socialist process initiated by Chavez, Uribe has mantained his
agressive agenda
against Venezuela. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">Now this internal
document, a product of a
meeting between the extreme right-wing in Colombia and Venezuela,
together with
representatives from the US government, proves the active
destabilization plans
against Maduro. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">As part of this
dangerous plot against
Venezuela, the authors propose to “Create situations of crisis in the
streets
that will facilitate US intervention, as well as NATO forces, with the
support
of the Colombian government. Whenever possible, the violence should
result in
deaths or injuries”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">Venezuelans,
representatives of the opposition,
are working together with foreign interests to generate deaths of
innocent
citizens in their own country, with the objective of justifying a
military
invasion in their nation. This represents a grave threat – and a vile
crime –
against the sovereignty of Venezuela. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">Furthermore, in
addition to promoting an
international campaign to marginalize, discredit and tarnish the Maduro
government, the document recommends “a military insurrection” against
the
Venezuelan state. They propose, “contacting active military groups and
those in
retirement to amplify the campaign to discredit the government inside
the Armed
Forces...It’s vital to prepare military forces so that during a
scenario of
crisis and social conflict, they lead an insurrection against the
government,
or at least support a foreign intervention or civil uprising”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="ES-TRAD">This document
evidences and confirms the
veracity – and the severity – of the accusations made by President
Nicolas
Maduro. Venezuela is under attack, as it has been throughout the past
14 years
since the beginning of the Bolivarian Revolution and the recovery of
Venezuela’s
sovereignty, independence and dignity. Let us not forget that Venezuela
has the
largest oil reserves on the planet. The powerful interests that seek
control of
those resources will not stop until they attain their objective.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
