Dear Reuters: Is this enough “proof” for
you?<http://www.sabinabecker.com/2013/04/dear-reuters-is-this-enough-proof-for-you.html>April

Dear Reuters: You fail so hard at
journalism…
<http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2013%2F4%2F26%2Fworldupdates%2Fvenezuela-detains-american-accused-of-fomenting-violence&sec=Worldupdates>

*Venezuela has detained an American citizen it says was financing
opposition student demonstrations after this month’s disputed presidential
election, the latest in a flurry of accusations over last week’s post-vote
violence.*
*

Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez said Timothy Hallet Tracy had been
seeking to destabilize the country on behalf of an unnamed U.S.
intelligence agency after President Nicolas Maduro’s narrow presidential
victory.

“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 ain’t so “scant”:

*http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=C9c7iZ7mb-g*



You’ll have to wait till the 6:50 mark or thereabouts, but yeah, the proof
is there, and yeah, it’s substantial. Video evidence that Tim Tracy has
been meeting with the druggy, drinky, dollar-hungry JAVU punks (whose
terrorist manifesto I’ve already translated and discussed
here.<http://www.sabinabecker.com/2013/04/terrorism-and-destabilization-in-venezuela-all-you-can-eat.html>)
That’s 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, there’s about 500
videos, all shot by themselves, to attest the opposite.

Yeah, that’s “scant” evidence, all right.

Hey, Reuters? Maybe you should learn some Spanish. And maybe learn
journalism too, while you’re at it. At the very least, try learning how not
to sleep through a fucking press conference. Okay?
