В понедельник пастор Робертсон, основатель Христианской коалиции Америки
и недавний кандидат в президенты (местного значение, но от
республиканцев) открыто призвал к убийству венесуэльского президента Уго
Чавеса: "У нас есть способность убрать его и я думаю пришло время
использовать эту способность" заявил Робертсон, верный христианин.
"Зачем нам еще одна 200 миллиардная война, когда нам нужно отделаться от
одного. Это же очень легко если специальные люди сделают работу".


Threat To Chavez's Life

By Rob Sewell
On Monday, Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition of America
and a former presidential candidate, openly called for the assassination
of the Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. "We have the ability to take
him [Chavez] out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that
ability," stated Robertson, our devout Christian.

Robertson went on to describe Chavez as a "terrific danger" to the
United States and that it was "our duty" to stop Chavez from making
Venezuela a "launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim
extremism."

With the developing revolution in Venezuela, Chavez has emerged as the
number one enemy of US imperialism. Over the last four years the US has
been behind every attempt to overthrow Chavez, beginning with the April
2002 coup, the bosses' lockout and then the referendum campaign. The
failure of the US-backed opposition has led a section of the Bush
Administration to contemplate other means of getting rid of Chavez,
namely assassination.

Of course, US officials have denied this, as they have done so in the
past. But behind the scenes, they are busy plotting Chavez's downfall.
In 1975, following the Watergate Scandal, congressional committees in
the House of Representatives began investigations into the activities of
the FBI and CIA. The inquiry disclosed that these bodies had conducted
secret operations of all kinds. For instance, despite repeated denials,
the CIA had been involved in assassination plots against Castro and
other heads of state.

It was also discovered from the investigation that the CIA - with the
collusion of a secret Committee of Forty headed by Henry Kissinger - had
worked to "destabilise" the Chilean government of Salvador Allende When
in 1974 the American ambassador to Chile, David Popper, suggested that
the junta was violating human rights, he was rebuffed by Kissinger, who
sent a message: "Tell Popper to cut out the political science lectures."

The Church Committee, in its report on the CIA attempts to assassinate
Castro and other foreign leaders, stated that "once methods of coercion
and violence are chosen, the probability of loss of life is always
present". It went on to say, "there is, however, a significant
difference between a cold-blooded, targeted, intentional killing of an
individual foreign leader and other forms of intervening in the affairs
of foreign nations."

In practice, this "difference" was non-existent when it came to
defending the interests of American imperialism, especially in Central
and Latin America. This was precisely the point blurted out by
Robertson. He merely states what the others are thinking.

"You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he
[Chavez] thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really
ought to go ahead and do it," Robertson said. "It's a whole lot cheaper
than starting a war... and I don't think any oil shipments will stop."

Of course, our evangelist is wrong. The assassination of Chavez would
provoke an almighty wave of revolutionary feeling throughout Latin
America and beyond. Oil shipments to the USA would be cut immediately
and action would be taken against US property on the continent.
Venezuela is the fifth largest oil exporter and a major supplier of oil
to the United States. The CIA estimates that the USA absorbs almost 59%
of Venezuela's total exports. A cut in the supply would have devastating
economic consequences in the States.

Robertson went on to accuse the United States of failing to act when
Chavez was briefly overthrown in 2002. "We have the ability to take him
out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability," said
Robertson. "We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one,
you know, strong-arm dictator," he continued. "It's a whole lot easier
to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over
with."

This blunt language is normally reserved for private conversation
amongst the ruling circles of America. Robertson is not simply a
nutcase. He was a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination
in 1988 and is a prime force within the Republican Party. He is a close
ally of the Bush Administration. Ironically, Robertson has done a
service in bringing out clearly the real intentions of American
imperialism. It exposes their hypocrisy about "freedom" and "democracy"
and reveals the real brutal nature of a system in decline.

In their simple-mindedness these people may believe that killing the man
will solve their problems. They are fooling themselves if they do. For
behind Chavez are the millions of workers and poor of Venezuela who have
risen up and gained dignity in the revolution that is unfolding.
Everything must be done to protect Chavez as he embodies the Venezuelan
revolution. The best way of doing it is to put an end to the system that
has produced the Venezuelan oligarchy, that is Venezuelan capitalism and
its imperialist backers.
