COMRADES! VENEZUELANS ARE STANDING UP TO YOUR FAVORITE STALINISTTHUG DICTATOR!

[PissingOffTheLeft@excite.com]

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Tens of thousands of people flooded the
streets of the capital Thursday to oppose a referendum that would
eliminate term limits for President Hugo Chavez and help him establish
a socialist state in Venezuela.
Blowing whistles, waving placards and shouting "Not like this!" the
marchers carried Venezuelan flags and dressed in blue--the chosen color
of the opposition--as they streamed along Bolivar Avenue.

"This is a movement by those of us who oppose a change to this
country's way of life, because what (the referendum) aims to do is
impose totalitarianism," said former lawmaker Elias Matta. "There
can't be a communist Venezuela, and that's why our society is reacting
this way."

The rally marked the close of the opposition's campaign against the
proposed constitutional changes, which will be submitted to a vote
Sunday. Chavez plans to lead rallies in favor of the reforms Friday.

Venezuelans will vote on 69 proposed changes to nation's 1999
constitution that would, among other things, eliminate presidential
term limits, create forms of communal property and give greater power
to the presidency.

Chavez denies that the proposals are a bid to seize unchecked power,
saying the constitutional overhaul is necessary to give more of a
voice to the people through community-based councils.

Rallies for and against the amendments have surged across this South
American country in the run-up to the vote, occasionally leading to
clashes. There were no immediate reports of violence Thursday.

Spontaneous demonstrations take place in Pakistan from time to time
in response to world events or local developments. We remind American
citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn
confrontational and possible escalate into violence. American citizens
are therefore urged to avoid the areas of demonstrations if possible,
and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations.
American citizens should stay current with media coverage of local
events and be aware of their surroundings at all times. Upcoming
demonstration information follows:

Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) has announced a protest march at 1400 starting
from the Hashtnagri Chowk up to the Ring Road bridge in Peshawar.
Although the police will try to contain the protest to those areas,
protesters may try to move onto Ring Road.

CIA Operation "Pliers" Uncovered in Venezuela
November 28th 2007, by Eva Golinger

http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/2914

On a scarier note, an internal CIA memorandum has been obtained by
Venezuelan counterintelligence from the US Embassy in Caracas that
reveals a
very sinister - almost fantastical, were it not true - plan to
destabilize
Venezuela during the coming days. The plan, titled "OPERATION PLIERS"
was
authored by CIA Officer Michael Middleton Steere and was addressed to
CIA
Director General Michael Hayden in Washington. Steere is stationed at
the US
Embassy in Caracas under the guise of a Regional Affairs Officer. The
internal memorandum, dated November 20, 2007, references the "Advances
of
the Final Stage of Operation Pliers", and confirms that the operation
is
coordinated by the team of Human Intelligence (HUMINT) in Venezuela.
The
memo summarizes the different scenarios that the CIA has been working
on in
Venezuela for the upcoming referendum vote on December 2nd. The
Electoral
Scenario, as it's phrased, confirms that the voting tendencies will
not
change substantially before Sunday, December 2nd, and that the SI
(YES) vote
in favor of the constitutional reform has an advantage of about 10-13
points
over the NO vote. The CIA estimates abstention around 60% and states
in the
memo that this voting tendency is irreversible before the elections.

Officer Steere emphasizes the importance and success of the public
relations
and propaganda campaign that the CIA has been funding with more than
$8
million during the past month - funds that the CIA confirms are
transfered
through the USAID contracted company, Development Alternatives, Inc.,
which
set up operations in June 2002 to run the USAID Office for Transition
Initiatives that funds and advises opposition NGOs and political
parties in
Venezuela. The CIA memo specifically refers to these propaganda
initiatives
as "psychological operations" (PSYOPS), that include contracting
polling
companies to create fraudulent polls that show the NO vote with an
advantage
over the SI vote, which is false. The CIA also confirms in the memo
that it
is working with international press agencies to distort the data and
information about the referendum, and that it coordinates in Venezuela
with
a team of journalists and media organized and directed by the
President of
Globovision, Alberto Federico Ravell.

CIA Officer Michael Steere recommends to General Michael Hayden two
different strategies to work simultaneously: Impede the referendum and
refuse to recognize the results once the SI vote wins. Though these
strategies appear contradictory, Steere claims that they must be
implemented
together precisely to encourage activities that aim toward impeding
the
referendum and at the same time prepare the conditions for a rejection
of
the results.

How is this to be done?

In the memo, the CIA proposes the following tactics and actions:

a.. Take the streets and protest with violent, disruptive actions
across
the nation
b.. Generate a climate of ungovernability
c.. Provoke a general uprising in a substantial part of the
population
d.. Engage in a "plan to implode" the voting centers on election day
by
encouraging opposition voters to "VOTE and REMAIN" in their centers to
agitate others
e.. Start to release data during the early hours of the afternoon on
Sunday that favor the NO vote (in clear violation of election
regulations)
f.. Coordinate these activities with Ravell & Globovision and
international press agencies
g.. Coordinate with ex-militar officers and coupsters Pena Esclusa
and
Guyon Cellis - this will be done by the Military Attache for Defense
and
Army at the US Embassy in Caracas, Office of Defense, Attack and
Operations
(DAO)

To encourage rejection of the results, the CIA proposes:

a.. Creating an acceptance in the public opinion that the NO vote
will win
for sure
b.. Using polling companies contracted by the CIA
c.. Criticize and discredit the National Elections Council
d.. Generate a sensation of fraud
e.. Use a team of experts from the universities that will talk about
how
the data from the Electoral Registry has been manipulated and will
build
distrust in the voting system

The CIA memo also talks about:

a.. Isolating Chavez in the international community
b.. Trying to achieve unity amongst the opposition
c.. Seek an aliance between those abstentionists and those who will
vote
"NO"
d.. Sustain firmly the propaganda against Chavez
e.. Execute military actions to support the opposition mobilizations
and
propagandistic occupations
f.. Finalize the operative preparations on the US military bases in
Curacao and Colombia to provide support to actions in Venezuela
g.. Control a part of the country during the next 72-120 hours
h.. Encourage a military rebellion inside the National Guard forces
and
other components

Those involved in these actions as detailed in the CIA memo are:

a.. The CIA Office in Venezuela - Office of Regional Affairs, and
Officer
Michael Steere
b.. US Embassy in Venezuela, Ambassador Patrick Duddy
c.. Office of Defense, Attack and Operations (DAO) at the US Embassy
in
Caracas and Military Attache Richard Nazario
Venezuelan Political Parties:

a.. Comando Nacional de la Resistencia
b.. Accion Democratica
c.. Primero Justicia
d.. Bandera Roja

Media:

a.. Alberto Federico Ravell & Globovision
b.. Interamerican Press Society (IAPA) or SIP in Spanish
c.. International Press Agencies

Venezuelans:

a.. Pena Esclusa
b.. Guyon Cellis
c.. Dean of the Simon Bolivar University, Rudolph Benjamin Podolski
d.. Dean of the Andres Bello Catholic University, Ugalde
e.. Students: Yon Goicochea, Juan Mejias, Ronel Gaglio, Gabriel
Gallo,
Ricardo Sanchez

Operation Tenaza has the objective of encouraging an armed
insurrection in
Venezuela against the government of President Chavez that will justify
an
intervention of US forces, stationed on the military bases nearby in
Curacao
and Colombia. The Operation mentions two countries in code: as Blue
and
Green. These refer to Curacao and Colombia, where the US has
operative,
active and equipped bases that have been reinforced over the past year
and a
half in anticipation of a conflict with Venezuela.

The document confirms that psychological operations are the CIA's best
and
most effective weapon to date against Venezuela, and it will continue
its
efforts to influence international public opinion regarding President
Chavez
and the situation in the country.

Operation Tenaza is a very alarming plan that aims to destabilize
Venezuela
and overthrow (again) its legitimate and democratic (and very
popularly
support) president. The plan will fail, primarily because it has been
discovered, but it must be denounced around the world as an
unacceptable
violation of Venezuela's sovereignty.
