Opposition Youth Movement (JAVU) warns that servants and other service personnel are informers for the regime
The Opposition Youth Movement JAVU, during the "peaceful protest" it performed in the East of the city of Caracas, distributed leaflets warning of the existence of a network of regime informants made up of "drivers, maids, mechanics, custodians or others in the employ of Cuban communism."
The pamphlet recommends you check these personnel when they enter or leave your house, that you stop whatever conversations you're having when they're around, keep your children away from them and as much as possible, keep them out of your homes.
The pamphlet circulating through social networks, has a warning you "be careful with this message" ( because it is clearly labeled with the logo of the right-wing organization, which is funded by "international organizations that are supporting us," said Marialvic Olivares, one of the activists of the movement, in an interview published by the Venezuelan News Agency (AVN)).
They warn that the their movements are being followed "by a network of informers for the regime that now seeks to hijack the election results, which, they argue, Capriles cleanly won".

USA Behind Coup Attempt in Venezuela, Says Morales
USA Behind Coup Attempt in Venezuela, Says Morales
La Paz, Apr 16 (Prensa Latina) The Government of Bolivia considered today that the US questioning of electoral results in Venezuela is a way to trigger instability in that country in order to justify a coup and intervention.
In a press conference today, President Evo Morales rejected the attitude of a White House spokesperson, who demanded yesterday a vote recount because of the tight margin between the two main candidates Nicolas Maduro and Henrique Capriles.
"I am certain that behind those remarks, the United States is preparing a coup d'Etat in Venezuela," Morales denounced, who described the US spokesperson's attitude as interference in the internal affairs of Latin America, and questioned the White House's moral authority to question electoral results worldwide.
"I would like to express that this is a flagrant US interference in Venezuela's democracy, as neither that spokesperson nor the US government has moral authority to question electoral results in any Latin American country or around the world," he said.

US won't accept Venezuela election result, says full recount still needed
Crossposted from LBN. Hat tip to AzurnoirUS won't accept Venezuela election result, says full recount still needed
Source: strib
The Obama administration is refusing to accept the official results of Venezuela's weekend presidential election, which gave victory to the protege of the country's late leftist leader Hugo Chavez.
The State Department said Tuesday that a full recount of the vote and an investigation into alleged irregularities were needed, given the close tally that almost evenly divided the country. On Monday, the U.S. had called for a full recount before results were certified but the election commission went ahead with certification without one.
The State Department said it was "difficult to understand" why the commission certified ruling party candidate Nicolas Maduro as the winner in the absence of a recount, which challenger Henrique Capriles is demanding.

Yo! Confused people in the White House- Venezuela is NOT one of your colonies.
Rather than continually attack a country that did the REVERSE of what the US has done and actual increased social services for their people, show a little humility, a little less slavish devotion to vulture capitalism, and study how you too could improve social services for tax paying American citizens who are sick and tired of paying for your disgusting wars and your filthy Pentagon that's sucking money from the most vulnerable members of our society right now.
Protests, Disturbances, and Violence Continue in Venezuela, General Strike a “Failure”
Protests, Disturbances, and Violence Continue in Venezuela, General Strike a “Failure”
By Tamara Pearson
Merida, April 16th 2013 (Venezuelanalysis.com) – This afternoon president Maduro said the opposition’s call for a general strike today had “failed”. He also blamed the losing candidate in Sunday’s elections, Henrique Capriles, for the seven deaths last night.
Maduro said last night’s violence was part of a plan “to take Venezuela off the road of democracy”, and called on the people to be peaceful and not “fall for provocations”.
He also declared “the coup d’état defeated”, and inaugurated a health centre in Miranda state. However he said it seemed the “destabilisations will continue”. Though there has been no direct attempt to overthrow the government, some government authorities have referred to the opposition’s refusal to recognise the election results as a “coup” or part of an attempt to bring about a coup.
President of the National Electoral Council (CNE) Tibisay Lucena said yesterday that the electoral system functioned “perfectly” on Sunday. She urged Henrique Capriles, who has not recognised the results, to use legal methods to present his complaints. 54% of the votes were audited on Sunday in the presence of booth witnesses from both political parties, and no problems were found, but opposition protestors are demanding that 100% of the votes be recounted.
Telesur reports that according to CNE norms, the opposition have “twenty (working) days to contest the results, they can do it through the Supreme Court, or the CNE, but they should formalise it, and not do it through the media”.
“Majority is majority, and should be respected under a democracy, they shouldn’t seek ambushes and invent things in order to make popular sovereignty vulnerable... that has just one name, “coup-ism” (golpismo),” Maduro said yesterday.
Monday’s aggressions
Last night seven people were killed as a result of opposition violence; two in Caracas, three in Ojeda, Zulia, one in Cumana, and one person in San Cristobal.
The opposition set fire to 18 Central Diagnostic Centres (CDIs – part of the Barrio Adentro mission), and 3 subsidised markets (Mercals). They also attacked the director of the CNE, Tibisay Lucena’s house, and the Telesur and VTV offices.
There are also unconfirmed reports of four attacks on housing mission buildings in Miranda, with seven people killed and ten injured.
The governor of Carabobo state, Francisco Ameliach, reported that 8 CDIs were “besieged” and Cuban doctors were attacked in his state. He said 64 people were detained inside the CDI, and “should go to jail, because we’re not going to tolerate a coup d’état here”.
In Merida, around 700 mostly young opposition students protested outside the CNE, as well as in four other places in the city. Venezuelanalysis.com observed that police presence was light, and most police unarmed. Many of the students armed themselves with rocks and glass bottles however, as though hoping something would happen. There were similar such protests outside most of the country’s main CNE headquarters.
Many people have posted photos around social networks, claiming they are of the CNE disposing of Sunday’s ballot boxes, though they are in fact of the CNE disposing of 2010 voting boxes, as the law requires. Media like La Patilla and RCTV have also used the photos. Pundit Nelson Bocaranda also tweeted that the “CDI in La Paz, Gallo Verde, Maracaibo is hiding some electoral boxes and the Cubans there won’t allow them to be removed”. Opposition television station Globovision has been arguing that “if they don’t want to count the votes, they must have something to hide”.
Capriles called for marches around the country to each state’s head CNE office for today, and for a large march lead by him tomorrow to the headquarters of the CNE in Caracas.
President of the National Assembly, Diosdado Cabello, reported by Twitter that he will propose an investigation to the assembly against Capriles for the acts of violence. Luisa Ortega said the public prosecutor’s office will investigate the seven confirmed deaths.
Further, the suspension of the right to carry arms in place during the election, as is the custom, has been extended to this Saturday 6.00pm, following last night’s violence.
State, municipal, and national police are also confined to barracks until Saturday. Police need permission from the National Bolivarian Armed Forces strategic operational command to intervene or act on any of the violence taking place.

The front page of a rightwing paper in Venezuela inciting unrest (graphic intensive)
then one example of one of the many, many, many coordinated and retweeted tweets
The use of these old recycled pictures of ballots being legally burned after the regional elections of 2008, is designed to make people believe that military officials are hiding and destroying ballot boxes of the elections held on Sunday 14 April.
Messages circulating on smartphones and displayed on Facebook and Twitter, causing aerated comments call for violence, intended to pave the way for the coup plans that are forged within the right.
In the images seen military, firefighters and the CNE in a process of destruction of election materials, in 2009, in compliance with Article 169 of the Electoral Act, which says:
"The electoral material that is not subject to administrative appeal or judicial review is subject to destruction, after six months of the conclusion of the electoral process. The order of destruction of election materials may only be issued by the National Electoral Council. The procedure for the destruction of the material will be established by the National Electoral Council by regulation. "

The images were taken from the website of the National Electoral Council, which records this operation in the presence of the press.

MY MY, WHERE HAVE WE SEEN THIS SCRIPT BEFORE? Chavez was too lenient with the coup plotters, so were the corrupt Venezuelan courts on their side. These irresponsible criminals and their collaborators need to be held responsible and imprisoned for their crimes to incite.
Edit, these irresponsible, false tweets were also sent to journalists, NGOs and politicians of the international community begging for foreign intervention to save democracy.
Here's one I just happened to save yesterday because I thought these assholes were so ridiculous.
Venezuela: WikiLeaks shows US use 'NGOs' to cover intervention
Note: William Brownfield – now Assistant Secretary of StateVenezuela: WikiLeaks shows US use 'NGOs' to cover intervention
Monday, April 15, 2013
By Ryan Mallett-Outtrim, Merida
In the week leading up to Venezuela’s April 14 presidential elections, whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks published a classified cable indicating that US-based aid organisations were working to overthrow the government and defend US corporate interests in the Andean country.
Sent from the US embassy in Caracas on November 2006, the cable details how dozens of non-government organisations (NGOs) are financially maintained by US government-funded US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI). This includes “over 300 Venezuelan civil society organizations”, ranging from disability advocates to education programs.
Former US ambassador to Venezuela William Brownfield. Cables leaked by WikiLeaks show Brownfield's role in promoting opposition groups to oppose Venezuela's government.
Many of the initiatives sound well-intentioned, such as ones supporting an environmental lobby group and a garbage collection program in Caracas.
However, USAID/OTI support for these benign-sounding groups was part of a larger, four-pronged project.
The ultimate aims of the embassy were described by then-US ambassador to Venezuela William Brownfield as “penetrating Chavez’s political base ... dividing Chavismo ... protecting vital US business ...[and] isolating Chavez internationally”.
According to Brownfield, the “strategic objective” of developing opposition-aligned “civil society organizations[sic] ... represents the majority of USAID/OTI work in Venezuela”.
However, among the dozens of groups mentioned in the document, the usual suspects of US interventionism also make appearances.
According to the document, OTI funded a Freedom House program in Venezuela with US$1.1 million, while Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI) provided grants totalling $726,000 on behalf of OTI.
DAI has a long history of working to undermine governments that oppose US hegemony, and this isn't the only time its operations in Venezuela have raised questions.
In 2002, DAI worked with the National Endowment for Democracy to fund a right-wing propaganda campaign during the 2002 oil industry lockout that sought to bring down Chavez’s government.
The group is now being sued by the family of a subcontractor who was jailed in 2009 while working in Cuba.
Alan Gross was working with a USAID initiative to install satellite communication systems for civil use, when he was arrested by Cuban authorities for “acts against the integrity of the state”, and is now serving a 15-year prison term.
His wife, Judy Gross has accused DAI of misleading him, and failing to provide adequate training.
Documents released by DAI in court certainly indicate that there was more to the initiative than DAI and USAID previously admitted.
On January 18, DAI submitted records in the case that state the communications equipment was being provided to communities to “provide a base from which Cubans can 'develop alternative visions of the future'”.
In its court filing, DAI further stated that it is “deeply concerned that the development of the record in this case over the course of litigation could create significant risks to the U.S. government's national security, foreign policy, and human rights interests”.
In other words, DAI would rather keep its agenda in Cuba secret, because national security takes priority over a jailed subcontractor.
Like DAI, Freedom House prioritises US geopolitical concerns over human rights.
Some of Freedom House's past exploits include supporting the Vietnam War, opposing calls for the US to join the International Criminal Court, failing to condemn Guantanamo Bay and receiving funds from far-right groups such as the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.
However, Freedom House really shines when it comes to interfering in elections, like it did in 2004 in Ukraine.
During the Ukrainian presidential campaign, it administered funds to the Poland-America-Ukraine Cooperation Initiative (PAUCI), which allegedly financed groups campaigning for presidential candidate Victor Yushchenko.
At the time, the US State Department spokesperson Richard Boucher responded to allegations that government funds were being poured into Yushchenko's campaign, telling media: “Our money doesn't go to candidates. It goes to the institutions that it takes to run a free and fair election”.
One such US-funded NGO was the International Centre for Policy Studies — of which Yushchenko was a board member.
When Brownfield wrote the leaked cable in 2006, Freedom House had $1.1 million in USAID/OTI funding to play with in Venezuela.
According to its website, Freedom House still operates in Venezuela to “strength[en] democratic institutions in order to improve democratic governance”.
Its more recent activities include contradicting Supreme Court rulings in both January and March.
On both occasions, Freedom House uncritically regurgitated interpretations of the Venezuelan constitution from the main opposition coalition, the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD).
Like in the 2004 Ukrainian elections, it appears that Freedom House has chosen to focus its efforts on backing its preferred candidate, rather than pursue its stated goal to “strength[en] democratic institutions”.
As illustrated by the WikiLeaks document, the relationship between the US embassy in Caracas and groups such as Freedom House and DAI is close.
In 2007, Brownfield was accused by the Chavez administration of interfering in internal affairs. On March 5 this year, the day Chavez died, two US embassy officials were expelled after the government accused them of trying to ferment another coup.
Indeed, there is a shared imperative to end the revolution, whether through violence or seemingly innocent “civil society” activities.
Though the methods vary, there is one constant in Washington's approach to Venezuela; regime change at all costs, and regression to the neo-colonial relationship of the pre-Chavez years.

Title should read: "President of the National Assembly to request the initiation of an investigation into..." but there wasn't enough room so I shortened it. If Diosdado Cabello says this, I think it's pretty much a done deal.
