I just received this press release from the Ministry of Communication and Information of Venezuela regarding President Chavez's Monday 11/28 statement on terrorism as a response to a repeatedly Washington's allegations that Venezuela is a destabilizing factor in the region or threat to democracy as well as Venezuela supporting subversive and terrorist groups in South America. We all know that these kind of unfounded allegations or cheap propaganda are being used over and over as an excuse to keep unfolding the machinery of more bloody interventions in those countries which are not submissive to Washington specially if the country seats on top of a huge pool of oil like Venezuela. Canela from the Bolivarian Circle of Los Angeles "Ezequiel Zamora." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` BOLIVARIAN GOVERNMENT REJECTS AND FIGHTS TERRORISM November 28, 2005 Not a single accusation pointing at Venezuela as “a destabilizing country or as shelter for terrorists” has been proven. The Bolivarian Government does not have to report about deals or agreements endorsed in order to achieve the country’s integral development. President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez Frías, repeated this Monday that the Venezuelan government rejects any terrorist act in any form and anywhere. This comment was made during the agreement endorsed by Spain and Venezuela in order to supply patrol boats and military transport aircraft to Caracas. The deal took place in Miraflores presidential palace. President Chávez made clear that the Venezuelan nation firmly condemns terrorism as it considers it one of the most harmful manifestations of the loss of human values. These words came out as a response to some opinions that point at Venezuela as a country that instigates terrorists, and particularly to some information published a few days ago about ETA members training subversive and terrorist groups from South America that later go to this region in order to unleash terror. “Washington is still accusing us of destabilizing this region, of being a threat to democracy, of being shelter of terrorist and subversive movements in this region. Not a single one of such accusations has been able to be proven for almost seven years because they are absolutely false and capture the unworthy nature of the US government. This government tells the world bare-faced lies to invade and slaughter peoples, like the Iraqi one, destroying entire cities but not precisely with patrol boats and transport aircraft,” emphasized president Chávez when he referred to the legal procedures for clarifying the death of public prosecutor Danilo Anderson, who was murdered by a C-4 bomb placed in his car on November 18, 2004. He also added that “…placing a bomb under Danilo Anderson’s seat, activating it with a mobile phone and then calling each other (the perpetrators and the brains behind this murder) laughing and saying: ‘the man is set on fire…’ and celebrating with good whisky because the man was set on fire… Those who do that are not human beings, they look like one… It is as you were saying – referring to the Spaniard Defense Minister – ‘a soldier could be using a uniform, but if he does not love his country, if he can not sacrifice everything for his country, he is not a real soldier… the same happens with humans. A terrorist is not a human being.” Commander-in-chief Chávez pointed out that some countries divide terrorism into good terrorism and bad terrorism. “Luis Posada Carriles, the biggest terrorist in Latin American history, is in the United States sleeping like a baby, as he said once.” Chávez remembered some terrorist attacks perpetrated by Posada Carriles, who placed a bomb in a plane of Cubana de Aviación in 1976, killing more than 70 people. He managed to escape after he got arrested by Venezuelan authorities. Today, 29 years later, Posada Carriles is in the United States and Venezuela is waiting for his extradition. No need for explanations President Chávez assured that Venezuela is walking the way of the integral development, a process boosted by pure democracy. In this sense, he said that when Venezuela strengthens bonds with other governments, it does not have to explain anyone and “especially under an imperialist pressure caused by sovereign decisions of Venezuela and other legitimate governments that cooperate with Venezuela’s integral development in the political, economic, social and military framework. Orlando Maniglia was talking about all the national power we need in order to apply the national strategy and to achieve the objectives set by our national policy,” he said. He assured that Venezuela is developing this process in spite of the imperialist wishes of preventing our development and independence. “Enough is enough! Our peoples have the same right Spain, France, Italy, the United States have to be free and live under better conditions every day. That is the only thing we long for and that is why we are tirelessly working… We will work with no rest as long as God and our people want,” he said. Presidential Press/Translated by César Torres
