Katrina distracts us - war plans for Venezuela *must read*

[GDN01]

I don't normally post an entire article - but this one is a must read. It ties together many threads I have read on RI.<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.vheadline.com/readnews.asp?id=45817">According to this Venezuelan news report:</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>United States warships turn towards Venezuela as US military takes control of Hurricane devastated regions; Venezuela's Hugo Chavez Frias vows '100-year war'</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>Russian journalist Sorcha Faal writes: Russian Military Analysts are reporting today that a 'significant' portion of the US Navy Armada that had been heading towards their country's devastated southern regions have turned towards South America.<br><br>Reports state a planned Invasion of Venezuela to overthrow its President and reassert 'control' over Venezuela's vast oil reserves.<br><br> The Venezuelan President having been notified of this most troubling development has ordered his military forces to be on top alert and has 'vowed' a 100-year war against the military leaders of the United States..<br><br>As reported by the Miami Herald News Service in an article entitled "Chavez: US, NATO planning an attack": "Venezuela has uncovered plans for a NATO US-led invasion and is preparing to defend the country against invading forces if necessary, President Hugo Chavez said ''we discovered, through intelligence work, a military exercise that NATO has for an invasion against Venezuela ... and we are preparing ourselves for that invasion.''<br><br>Chavez was quoted as saying late Friday night that the military exercise known as ''Plan Balboa',' includes rehearsing simultaneous assaults by air, sea and land at a military base in Spain, involving troops from the United States and NATO countries.<br><br>US officials in the past have said such training is meant to prepare troops for general scenarios but not for a specific military action.<br><br> ''If it occurs to the United States to invade our country ... Fidel Castro said it and I agree ... a war will start here to last 100 years,'' Chavez added. "Not only this country would be burned up, but a good part of this continent; they shouldn't make any mistake about it; we are preparing to repel an invasion.'' <br><br>Prior to the cataclysmic Hurricane Katrina that hit the southern regions of the United States last week, US military leaders had been preparing for the invasion by the stationing one of their feared Carrier Strike Forces off the shores of Venezuela. As reported by China's Xinhua News Service "US aircraft carrier docked nearby poses no threat: Venezuela" it says "a US aircraft carrier with 1,500 marines on board which docked last Friday in the island of Curacao, north of Venezuela, did not pose a threat to the country, Defense Minister Orlando Maniglia said Monday. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez termed the presence in March of a US aircraft carrier in Curacao as an "act of provocation" but United StatesAmbassador to Venezuela William Brownfield later said the tension only was generated by a "lack of communication." <br>Reports further state that the magnitude of the devastation in the United States is 'unprecedented' with over 10 million of their citizens lives directly affected by the wrath of Hurricane Katrina. United Press International News Service in an article "Some 10 million felt Hurricane Katrina" says, "almost 10 million people living in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi experienced hurricane force winds as Katrina crashed into the Gulf Coast this week. The US Census Bureau reported that in the three states hardest hit by the storm, about 4.9 million people ... or about 41% of the population ... live in coastal areas. About 3.2 million people lived within the imminent or occurring flood area ... with 1.7 million in southeast Louisiana; 940,000 in southern Mississippi; and 420,000 in southwest Alabama."<br><br>Russian Intelligence analysts further report that the foreign mercenary troops under the command of NORTHCOM have been sent into those areas most affected and that the American citizens and refugees can expect 'nothing short of brutal' treatment as these soldiers do not know .... nor do they care ... for the rights or freedoms of these people.<br><br>To the many warnings of these events many around the world have tried to warn Americans, but they still do not comprehend the monstrous totality of what lies in store for them. As we previously tried to warn in our August 22 report titled "United States Positions Tens of Thousands of Foreign Troops Throughout America, Cancels All Military Leaves and Ousts Another Top General," our August 25 report titled "United States Warns Foreign Governments of 'Impending' Internal Crises While Massive American Troop Movements Continue" and our August 26 report titled "The Camps of ICE, Americas Road to Fascist Rule Nears Completion as US Government Accelerates Building of Concentration Camps."<br><br>Like the German people living under the brutal Nazi regime of last century, it is incomprehensible for these American people to believe that their government is capable of the barbarity they are currently unleashing upon the entire World, but also like the German people they cannot deny that their once great country has been turned into a Police State, and with the events currently occurring in their country, a Police State under military leadership.<br><br> To the expansion of the Americans Global War for oil today marks yet another milestone in how far these once mighty people have fallen. Even sadder is that as they continue their descent into 'hell' there remains no good citizens left among them able to see through the hypocrisy and lies of their Military Leaders and the propaganda media organs that support them. <br><br>Today, the Torch of Liberty ... which once shown bright for the entire world to see ... is now all but extinguished. Today the darkness of fascist military rule rolls across the once great land of America, which had never been a nation alone, but had instead been a 'vision' of its founders dedicated to the proposition that all men should be free.<br><br>Today that vision today lies broken and shattered upon the streets of New Orleans. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=gdn01>GDN01</A> at: 9/7/05 10:57 pm<br></i>

Hey Dbeach - you may be right about sorcha, but I don't think the entire article rests on his words. I can't access the Miami Herald article (requires subscription and I'm too tired to do it) but I think it would collaborate the story. <br><br>I hope you're right and there is nothing to this report. But it wouldn't surprise me.<br><br>I do think many of the things stated in this article are true though. <p></p><i></i>

thanx for info<br><br>she/he whatever still has no credentails from russian academy<br>as she/he claims..<br><br>and I have no cliams on her only she /he has been exposed by/at rense as money scam <p></p><i></i>

[anotherdrew]

well, I don't want to go overboard defending the reports, but they seem to process a lot of information very quickly. I would say that the name Sorcha Faal would be a pen-name. See the note at the end of each report on the whatdoesitmean site: <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="font-size:small;">Ed. Note: The United States government actively seeks to find, and silence, any and all opinions about the United States except those coming from authorized government and/or affiliated sources, of which we are not one. No interviews are granted and very little personal information is given about our contributors to protect their safety.</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br>So I wouldn’t expect to find any dissertations written under that name.<br><br>So anyway, I think it's possible that there is a Russian source behind this writing, the style of the writing often seems like it's written by a Russian who knows English fairly well but is still mostly exposed day-to-day to Russian language constructs. At any rate, that seems to be the idea the reader is supposed to get. If it were so, the writer would not want to use their real name. The source does sometimes seem to have access to verifiable info, while tossing in some odd bits and pieces that are ‘wrong’ but not so wrong as to ruin the intent of the writing, rather, just wrong enough to get it dismissed as bargain-basement mis-info by the US security services (‘nothing to worry about’). On the other hand, they have pinpointed the locations of US warships from time to time, and that can not possibly be a popular thing to do. <br><br>The writing seems very similar to stuff written around the start of the Iraq war that was on that Russian aviation website purporting to be based on Russian intelligence operatives underground operating in Iraq doing signal intercepts on US forces.<br><br>So yes, there are books to sell, but you can't say that someone has no credibility because they have books for sale. Plus, anything 'debunked' on the rense site can't be all bad. Do you really trust Rense? I can barely stand his site. He does carry _some_ good info, but there is way to much holocaust-deniers, anti-'Zionist' stuff, the endless parade of Zundel-love. I just don’t care for much of his focus on this stuff.<br><br>The worst case thing with Sorcha and others is that the world is gearing up for war against the US, and the anti-US forces are starting their own psy-war propaganda campaign, of which this is possibly one source. Still, I can’t help but agree with much of what is written in the Fall reports, just have to hold that wait-and-see attitude. <p></p><i></i>

Thank you, anonymous. I was a bit disappointed that this thread devolved so quickly into a debate over the whether the author's name is Russian or not.<br><br>There have been many other sources suggesting Venezuela could be the next country to experience the exporting of Democracry from the U.S.<br><br>And I do wonder what all is being done by our govt. while we are distracted. Every bill that is introduced and passed needs to be closely scrutinized because they always tack on provisions and additional articles that have nothing to do with the original bill. <p></p><i></i>

Chavez: U.S. Plans to Invade Venezuela<br><br>Saturday September 17, 2005 2:46 AM<br><br>AP Photo XUN167<br><br>WASHINGTON (AP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Friday night he has documentary evidence that the United States plans to invade his country.<br><br>Chavez, interviewed on ABC's "Nightline,'' said the plan is called "Balboa'' and involves aircraft carriers and planes. A transcript of the interview was made available by "Nightline.''<br><br>He said U.S. soldiers recently went to Curacao, an island off Venezuela's northwest coast. He described as a ``lie'' the official U.S. explanation that they visited Curacao for rest and recreation.<br><br>"They were doing movements. They were doing maneuvers,'' Chavez said, speaking through a translator.<br><br>He added: "We are coming up with the counter-Balboa plan. That is to say if the government of the United States attempts to commit the foolhardy enterprise of attacking us, it would be embarked on a 100-year war. We are prepared.''<br><br>To prove U.S. intentions, Chavez offered to send "Nightline'' host Ted Koppel maps and other documentation.<br><br>"What I can't tell you his how we got it, to protect the sources, how we got it through military intelligence,'' he said.<br><br>In the event of a U.S. invasion, Chavez said the United States can ``just forget'' about receiving any more oil from his country.<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5284401,00.html">www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5284401,00.html</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

Intersting info I had not seen before about Sorcha Faal (I had read the name was Gaelic...Seorsa is usually translated George, I think on "Surfing the Apocalypse" someone said it was Gaelic for 'bright eye'). EDIT: Yes, Seorsa is George...and "Faal" could be phonetic for "falamn", pronounced roughly fallaw, so it could be Gaelic for "Empty George"--not a bad nickname for the soulless sock puppet squatting in the White House.]<br><br>Doesn't matter really, does it? Even if the person telling you an anvil is about to fall from a great height onto your head is a known delusional schizophrenic, it's still a good idea to glance up.<br><br>I believe it's probably true, they went after the guy before, and Robertson's comment about assassinating him is probably because Robertson knows that's what's coming...he just was a 'premature pro-dead-Hugoist.'<br><br>I also have gotten the feeling that Chavez is...not sure how to describe it. Calling Bubbleboy out? Calling his bluff? Putting him in a no win situation? If the US attacks Chavez, it vindicates what Chavez (and Castro) have been saying; if not, since it's clear they PLANNED to, it looks like Chavez by refusing to just sit there like a sitting duck has exposed Junior for empty saber-rattling and neutralized the threat, at least for the time being.<br><br>Reminds me of the recent quote, I think on dKos, from David Mamet about the tactics of a good poker player being a good way to play politics:<br><br>"Control of the initiative is control of the battle. In the alley, at the poker table or in politics. One must raise."<br><br>Chavez seems to be good at playing high stakes poker (can't get much higher stake than your life and the independence of your nation). Little Lord Bushleroy on the other hand is not. The man is one big walking TELL to anyone with eyes to see. <p>=======<br>Oh, I enjoy an egg myself, yes.
