For those who are familiar with the interventions of U.S. agencies
and big banks in Chile prior to the coup in 1973, in concert with media
denunciations of populist policies there, the situation in Venezuela since
Hugo Chavez was inaugurated in 1999 seems eerily familiar. In both cases,
certain labor, civic, and media organizations were funded by the U.S. so
that they could increase agitation against the elected government. Today the
funding comes mainly from the National Endowment for Democracy, established
by Congress and infested by the CIA, which amounts to the same thing. One
difference now is that Venezuela expects trouble and is on the lookout.
Another difference is that Venezuela doesn't need the U.S. to buy its oil.
Hopefully Washington will someday grow tired of doing the wrong thing, and
leave the people of Latin America alone.
