Smart power faces defeat in Venezuela

LE « SMART POWER » EN DÉROUTE FACE AU VENEZUELA

23rd March, 2014

La révolte anti-bolivarienne s’essouffle. Faute d’arriver à mobiliser les Vénézuéliens, les « insurgés » des beaux quartiers et leurs sponsors états-uniens tentent de mobiliser les diplomates au siège washingtonien de l’OEA (l’Organisation des Etats américains). Le chercheur français Salim Lamrani, décortique ce nouvel échec du Département d’Etat.

Depuis le début du mois de février 2014, les secteurs d’extrême droite de l’opposition multiplient les actes criminels au Venezuela dans le but de rompre l’ordre constitutionnel et de renverser le président démocratiquement élu Nicolas Maduro.

My Two Cents

By: Andy Sutton

While all the hubbub here in the US has centered around abominations such as cash 4 clunkers, tax credits for buying homes, and the other machinations directed at returning the US to the blissful year of 2005, other portions of the world have taken notice and have been conducting some activities of their own.

Caracas, September 1st 2009 (Venezuelanalysis.com) – Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez said that the tour he is carrying out in various countries in Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Europe is aimed at strengthening Venezuela’s “strategic alliances” that have been built throughout ten years of his government.

Speaking from Tripoli, Libya, where he arrived on August 31 to participate in a special summit of the African Union and to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the revolution in the African country, Chavez also said that Venezuela had played a “modest but important” role in contributing to the construction of a multi-polar world.

In 1999, “We had a clear understanding of the international map and began to seek solid, firm and serious allies,” he said, referring to the early stages of his government.  Ten years later Venezuela has built strong alliances, not only with nations but with strategic regions, from northern Africa to the Eurasian region, the head of state pointed out in a telephone conversation broadcast on state owned VTV.

By James Petras

28/09/08 “ICH ” — – Human Rights Watch, a US-based group claiming to be a non-governmental organization, but which is in fact funded by government-linked quasi-private foundations and a Congressional funded political propaganda organization, the National Endowment for Democracy, has issued a report “A Decade Under Chavez: Political Intolerance and Lost Opportunities for Advancing Human Rights in Venezuela” (9/21/2008 hrw.org).
