Venezuela "destabilizing" other countries?
So says the Miami Herald's columnist, Andres Oppenheimer:
"There is no mystery about Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez's intent on destabilizing U.S.-backed Latin American democracies: he says so on his own government's website."And just what consititutes "destabilizing" a government to Mr. Oppenheimer? Here's the nefarious plan he found on that Venezuelan government website:
- Strengthening alternative movements in Central America and Mexico in search of [their] estrangement from the [U.S.] empire's domination.
- Neutralizing the [U.S.] empire's action by strengthening the solidarity and public opinion of the organized social movements in Latin America.
- Consolidating the axis of leadership Cuba-Venezuela-Bolivia, to push for the [Chávez-backed] Bolivarian Alternative of the Peoples as an alternative to the [U.S.-backed] Free Trade Area of the Americas and the [U.S.] Free Trade Agreements.
- Creating a new international communications order and encourage a network of alternative news networks.
- Encouraging organization of solidarity groups with the Bolivarian Revolution in the United States.
As for Mr. Oppenheimer, it delights me to point out that he published a book entitled "Castro's Final Hour"...in 1992. :-)
