Venezuelas Continuous Coup
by ALFREDO LOPEZ
When Caracas Mayor Antonio Ledezma was arrested last week, charged with organizing and leading a coup, the U.S. State Departments spokeswoman Jen Psaki said: The allegations made by the Venezuelan government that the United States is involved in coup plotting and destabilization are baseless and false. The United States does not support political transitions by non-constitutional means.
That remarkable quote denying what has been a well-known and fully documented pillar of U.S. foreign policy for the last 30 years tells us more truth than the lie Psaki was trying to spread. Why, at this point, would Washington make such a definitive and laughably false statement?
Legacy and Challenge: Maduro salutes Chavez at rally
The evidence is overwhelming that the rich and powerful of Venezuela have followed a continuous, constantly morphing plan to de-stabilize the country and take over the government by any means necessary and that the United States government knows about that plan, supports it and, as much as it can, is assisting in it.
Theres been an ongoing effort to destabilize the government, said author Miguel Tinker Salas, a top authority on the Venezuelas situation, to represent the government as a crisis in crisis mode, and to depict the country as if its on the brink of a precipice.
