Venezuela: Beware, Big Business enters the Orinoco and with it a coming Big War! Monday, October 26 @ 16:37:52 UTC

By Franz J. T. Lee October 26, 2009
"Do we smell the stench of the bloody
Yankee boots coming from the military bases in Colombia? Elsewhere do
we smell the capitalist decay and putrefaction, the cesspools and
quagmires?
No, we see nothing, we hear nothing,
we smell nothing ....
Do we still feel anything?"
Last year, President Chavez warned:
"In 2009 they will be coming for me!" At this very moment the dark
forces of destabilization day and night are mounting a ferocious attack
against us, aided by the Obamaa administration.
This situation is not individual or
personal, also not a caprice of the "Empire", it is the historic result
of profound dialectical productive relations and contradictions. Let us
look at some realities.
According to data presented by Vanessa
Davies in her program, Contragolpe, on October 23rd, 2009:
* 25 % of the inhabitants of our
planet find themselves in extreme poverty.
* more than 1400 millions live on only
1 dollar a day.
* 1200 millions have no access to any
hygiene whatsoever and have to defecate in open air.
* 800 millions suffer from hunger and
malnutrition.
* 25 % of children under 5 are
undernourished and thus have their physical and mental development
seriously compromised.
* 10 % of the world's population
possess 90% of the world's wealth.
The latest figures of world depression, in all probability, must be
even worse. This is corporate, imperialist capitalism which wants to
convert Venezuela into another Gaza in the near future.
The "wretched of the earth", "les
miserables", the "white man's burden", living under bridges, in tents,
in caves, camps, cerros, favelas and ghettos, in Gaza and Falujah, do
see exploitation when their beloved children die of hunger. They do
hear the coming of the imperialist war planes, they smell the
decomposition of the fragments of their bombed fathers and
mothers, these 'camel-drivers' feel the burning of the white
phosphorous bombs, the pain of the eating away of their meager
flesh, of their innocent existence.
In the White House who cares? Who
still feels anything human, humane, humanitarian? Who cares that world
wide millions have protested against the Gaza massacre? On the West
Bank did the Palestinian authorities and businessmen really care, did
they protest categorically?
Venezuela, look into this mirror!
All over the Mideast, over the last
decades, in Palestine, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere,
over one million Arabs were mercilessly massacred by ruthless, reckless
ruling class war criminals of all global categories. Affirming global
capitalism, they never felt anything for the poor, for the wage slave
'under-dogs'; for them war is business and business is war, that is,
'world peace'; also, a global 'joint venture' very often crowned with a
'Nobel Peace Prize'. Once upon a time even Hitler and Stalin were
considered fit to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
However, what do many of us in
Venezuela neither see nor hear, neither smell nor feel?
In order to have a long view of
history, of capital accumulation in few hands, to vivify our past, to
nurture a healthy memory, to develop theoretical and class
consciousness and knowledge, we always have to check out what we have
said and what we were doing in the immediate past.
In order to confront the vicious onslaughts of future national and
global class wars, we need self-defense tactics and emancipatory
strategies in asymmetrical warfare. With all its arsenals of weapons of
mass destruction, which could blow the planet into blazes by means of
Tesla technology, the USA, NATO, cannot win the war against one of the
poorest nations of the world, in Afghanistan. Also Big Brother cannot
occupy Iraq totally, unless capitalists decide to blow themselves into
universal conflagration and entropy. As we said elsewhere, there exists
no capitalist without a worker, no master without a slave and vice
versa.
Venezuela: the calm before the storm.
Of course, because we are sowing the
winds of socialism, we will have to reap the capitalist storms.
More recently, between 1999 and 2009
tons and tons of waters were flowing down the Orinoco on their
tendential way towards the huge Atlantic Ocean. We, the
revolutionaries, the Bolivarians and the peoples of the Americas, we
all have changed, the very Orinoco and the oceans have changed,
... joint ventures, bridges and news couriers are globalizing the
very jungles, the 'indigenas' and the very natural laws of the jungle.
Big Business is entering the Orinoco
Delta and with it a coming Big War!
In an exclusive interview "Venezuela
and the USA", made by Jesus Maria Nery Barrios, we explained the
economic essence of the permanent military Sword of Damocles hovering
over our heads. Nearly two years ago Jesus Nery asked a pertinent
question which is today more actual than ever before:
"JMNB: Does this mean that according
to 'full spectrum dominance' Venezuela is next on the list? In
quintessence, what is the good news, and what is the bad news for
Venezuela at this critical moment of world history?
FJTL: Which news first?
JMNB: The good news.
FJTL: Well, that is very easy.
Contrary to many countries of the South, Venezuela practically swims in
an eternal ocean of oil, gas and fresh water; it possesses an immense
biodiversity, strategic metals and minerals, and a tropical vegetation
that could produce oxygen for centuries to come."
(See:
http://quebec.indymedia.org/en/node/29321)
Already on February 27, 2008, we
explained the basics of a dialectical economic explanation of the
latest Yankee bellicose encroachment, of the the 'fourth generation
warfare' and the internal and external attacks against the Bolivarian
Republic of Venezuela:
"JMNB: D'accord. And the bad news?
FJTL: Precisely the very same news.
Contrary to many countries of the South, Venezuela practically swims in
an eternal ocean of oil, gas and fresh water; ....
This is why Venezuela is practically a
member of the sonorous 'axis of evil', is target No.1 for a new
'discovery', 'Christianization', pacification and military conquest, is
threatened by the Plan Colombia, and why this Sword of Damocles will
forever hover over our heads. Uncle Sam will commit any crime that
could give world capitalism a new lease of life. This is revolutionary
dialectics, where 'good' and 'bad' news are two sides of the very same
world market coin."
Very recently Prensa Latina of October
21, 2009, confirmed the above dangers and reported that the Latin
American Parliament was denouncing that the United States of America
progressively was increasing its belligerent presence in South America
and currently is tightening its military stronghold on Venezuela.
Concretely, how are the second
colonial and imperialist conquest of Venezuela being orchestrated?
1. Internally and externally the
spreading of a galaxy of scientifically well-prepared,
pro-capitalist, anti-socialist ideological fabrications, myths, hoaxes,
lies and diatribal 'clichés' about the Bolivarian government.
2. Fourth generation warfare: racism,
arrogance, manipulation and indoctrination by the mass media, rainbow
revolutions, zero favorable information in the mass media about
Venezuela. Launching stereotypical campaigns, ad hominem character
assassination of President Chavez: in fascist style, only he makes
history in Venezuela. According to formal logics, only he is to be
blamed for everything which goes wrong; he personally is an enemy of
mankind, a tyrant, a dictator, an aggressor, killer, terrorist, a
dealer of drugs, human organs and nuclear materials. In world fascist
jargon, Chavez is the modern anti-Christ, and if he did not exist, real
terrorism had to find, to invent him. Millions believe this diatribal
hocus-pocus that goes as `news` around the globe, and they cannot see
the global genocide which is already virulent, under the arm of mass
destruction: swine flu.
3. In this mesmerized, doped,
confused atmosphere the real problem of globalization can be
identified: in capitalism what does not serve (profit and power) lands
in the rubbish bin, hence, of some 7 billion human beings, more than
half are just the capitalist's 'burden'. How to get rid of them and how
to capture their natural resources that is the real "to be or not to
be" question!
What is being prepared across the
borders of Venezuela? A military enclosure, practically a declaration
of war.
In its aggressive megalomania against
Venezuela,
* the USA is being supported by NATO
and some neighboring countries, like Colombia and Panama.
* The USA is increasing its current
three military bases in Colombia to ten;
* its Fourth Fleet is making bellicose
maneuvers in the Caribbean waters;
* the USA uses a communication
satellite for its military operations launched from French Guayana,
* also under construction are two
military naval installations in Panama,
* in Aruba and Curacao, Washington is
increasing its bellicose presence.

We are being besieged and how many
millions are protesting? Internally, the reactionary forces,
paramilitary troops and 'guarimbas' continue. Are we prepared to defend
the sovereignty of Venezuela by all means necessary? The big business
war is already on our horizon, in the ALBA, in Honduras.
