Venezuela under threat of attack by USA

Teresa | 01.12.2007 13:31 | Social Struggles | London

An emergency solidarity rally has been called by Hands of Venezuela for 5pm on Sunday
Bolivar Hall, 56 Grafton Way, off Tottenham Court Road, W1 and the nearest Tube is Goodge Street. Supporters are asked to bring banners and musical instruments and to wear red clothes.

Venezuela is facing a massive destabilisation campaign, the likes of which have
not been seen since the failed coup of 2002.


A CIA plot to use Sunday's constitutional reform referendum as a pretext to overthrow the Chavez government has been recently exposed.

An emergency solidarity rally has been called by Hands of Venezuela for 5pm on Sunday
while the vote is taking place to be ready to respond if the US goes ahead
with its violent plan, code-named Operation Pliers. We will be at:

Bolivar Hall, 56 Grafton Way, off Tottenham Court Road, W1 and the nearest Tube is Goodge Street. Supporters are asked to bring banners and musical instruments and to wear red clothes.

We are calling on all supporters to rally outside
Bolivar Hall in London, from which we will be receiving real-time
information from Venezuela.


'If it looks like a coup is being attempted, we will be ready to march to
the US embassy to demand that they back off and respect international law.
We must remain especially vigilant until this danger has passed.'


The last few days have seen an unprecedented level of propaganda against the
Venezuelan government. Both the BBC and Foreign Office Minister Kim Howells have smeared Venezuela for alleged corruption, quoting the discredited organisation Transparency International to support claims that it is one of the most corrupt countries
in the world. But campaigners hit back, telling Mr Howells that 'the British government is
in no position to point the finger about corruption,' referring to the
ongoing funding scandals in the Labour Party.

Chavez said he would nationalize Spanish interests, banks
companies etc unless the King of Spain apologizes. It
was an extraordinary speech and rallying call for socialism.
Heiko.

Chavez said the Oil to the USA will be cut off on Monday if
they try to implement their plan Operation 'Pliers'. He swore a 100
year war will follow. Special plans to defend the Oil industry are
being implemented tonight.
This needs to be as widely publicised as possible.
