We detected the presence of an American who began developing close relations with these (students), said Rodriguez in a press conference. His actions clearly show training as an intelligence agent, there can be no doubt about it. He knows how to work in clandestine operations. Rodriguez said Tracy, 35, from Michigan, had received financing from a foreign non-profit organization and had redirected those funds toward student organizations. The ultimate aim was to provoke civil war, he said. A U.S. embassy official had no immediate comment. * *The government has given scant evidence for a flurry of headline-grabbing accusations ranging from an assassination plot against Maduro to alleged sabotage of the electricity grid.* because this is the real story<http://www.aporrea.org/actualidad/n227641.html>, and your version is laughable even on the surface of it: *The Popular Power minister for interior relations and justice, Miguel Rodríguez Torres, gave a press conference on Thursday in which he presented a series of proofs of the destabilization operation called April Connection, headed by a US citizen named Timothy Hallet and which was meant to unleash violent incidents in Venezuela following the elections of April 14.* * >From his headquarters in the capital city, the minister showed that the North American has very close relations with the youths of Operation Sovereignty, and had managed to infiltrate revolutionary groups at the same time as he maintained intimate relations with the Venezuelan right-wing. At the same time, the minister assured that he had proof of the connections of these sectors to a series of events relating to an electoral coup following the release of the results of the April 14 election, promoted by the losing candidate from the opposition. Without a doubt, [this individual] belongs to an intelligence organization, because he possesses training in this matter and knows how to infiltrate, how to recruit sources, manage security information, and all that, we were able to detect with verification by the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN) as of October of 2012. Also, Timothy Hallet received foreign financing, which was later passed on to the youth from the parties of the Venezuelan extreme right to generate violent actions throughout the land, and to lead us toward a civil war,, the minister added. * *We have the documents proving that they exchanged [information] by way of some chips, which the messenger brought from the Plaza La Castellana to the home of the gringo, a term used to identify him from other sites where these kids had direct communications with him, the minister said.* Translation mine. BTW, O Reuters gurus, I have your scant evidence right here. And, spoiler alert, it aint so scant: *http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=C9c7iZ7mb-g* Youll have to wait till the 6:50 mark or thereabouts, but yeah, the proof is there, and yeah, its substantial. Video evidence that Tim Tracy has been meeting with the druggy, drinky, dollar-hungry JAVU punks (whose terrorist manifesto Ive already translated and discussed here.<http://www.sabinabecker.com/2013/04/terrorism-and-destabilization-in-venezuela-all-you-can-eat.html>) Thats one of 500 videos shot by the perps themselves, all taken into custody by the SEBIN agents as evidence of their plot. JAVU and Tracy are, in short, thoroughly fucked. As is a certain ex-general who also appears in the video, advising the punks on how to organize: *http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ii2cnkOBPYs* Ah yes, the peaceful, democratic Venezuelan opposition. So credible. And their gringo spook candy-man. So innocent. Meanwhile, theres about 500 videos, all shot by themselves, to attest the opposite. Yeah, thats scant evidence, all right. Hey, Reuters? Maybe you should learn some Spanish. And maybe learn journalism too, while youre at it. At the very least, try learning how not to sleep through a fucking press conference. Okay?
