Chavez: Clinton thinks US owns 'the continent'

Juan Domingo Larriega | 28.03.2010 14:22 | Analysis | Education | Globalisation | World

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez scorns US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as an ancient thinker, charging her with interfering in Venezuelan domestic affairs. "She still considers herself the imperial lady. She is behind the times," Chavez said during his visit to Ecuador on Friday. "She still thinks the United States is the owner of this continent," he added. Chavez made the remarks after Clinton criticized Caracas over the detention of television station owner Guillermo Zuloaga.

During a Latin American tour, Clinton said that the Venezuelan government is limiting freedom and should restore "full democracy."

"A Venezuelan judge comes along and orders the detention of a criminal in Venezuela who owns a media outlet," Chavez noted.

"And then they attack the government of Venezuela ... for attacking press freedom, for attacking journalists and the news media - what cynicism. It's the cynicism of the (US) empire."

Attorney General Luisa Ortega said Zuloaga is charged with deliberately spreading false information and insulting Chavez at an Inter-American Press Association meeting in Aruba last weekend. .......  http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=121794&sectionid=351020704

Picture: ... Chavez Mocks Clinton As Blond Condoleezza: Venezuela’s President Hugo mocked U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a “blond” version of her predecessor .... Visiting Latin America this week, Clinton said the Obama administration’s policies towards the region were helping blunt the criticism of the United States by leftist leaders like Chavez. “To me, she’s like Condoleezza Rice … a blond Condoleezza,” said the Venezuelan, referring to former U.S. president George W. Bush’s secretary of state, with whom he exchanged frequent harsh words at long-distance. ....  http://alindenauer.wordpress.com/tag/clinton/

Die (US!)-Militarisierung Lateinamerikas .... Die Vereinigten Staaten wurden nach den Worten George Washingtons als „Infant Empire“ (Kind-Imperium) gegründet. Die Eroberung des nationalen Territoriums war ein großes imperiales Unternehmen, ähnlich der starken Expansion des Großherzogtums Moskau. Von Anbeginn der ersten Tage war die Kontrolle über die Hemisphäre das entscheidende Ziel. Die Ambitionen erweiterten sich während des zweiten Weltkriegs, als die USA Großbritannien und kleinere imperiale Mächte verdrängte. Auf höchster Ebene kam man zu dem Schluss, dass die USA die „unbestrittene Macht“ in einem Weltsystem innehaben sollte, welches nicht nur die westliche Hemisphäre umfasste, sondern auch das ehemalige britische Empire, den Fernen Osten und später soviel von Europa wie nur möglich. Ein primäres Ziel der NATO war es, Anstrengungen in Richtung europäischer Unabhängigkeit entlang der gaullistischen Linie zu blockieren. Das wurde um so klarer, als die UdSSR kollabierte und damit auch die formale (Existenz-)Berechtigung der NATO. ........  http://www.indymedia.org/de/2010/03/935769.shtml
