From the current (Nov 11) edition of Bill Weinberg's excellent WW3Report newsletter <http://www.WW3Report.com> ---- HENRY HYDE: LATIN AMERICAN "AXIS OF EVIL" Warning of a potential "Axis of Evil" in the Americas, House International Relations Committee Chairman Henry Hyde (R-IL) called on President Bush to support the ouster of Venezuela's populist President Hugo Chavez. Just days before Brazilians elected populist Lula da Silva as president on Oct. 27, Hyde sent Bush a strongly-worded letter warning that Venezuela, Brazil and Cuba constitute an emerging "Axis of Evil" in Latin America. Insight magazine obtained a copy of the letter, which calls the Chavez regime "illegitimate" and "based on the systematic violation of the Venezuelan constitution." The letter called on the Bush aministration to support the "pro-democratic civil-military coalition" that opposes Chavez in Venezuela. It also warned that Chavez and Cuban leader Fidel Castro are cooperating to aid Colombia's FARC guerillas. (Insight, Oct. 29) ---- How we'll know the next attempt on Chavez (and if these guys get physical control of him again Chavez is not too likely to come out of it alive) is under way. Nancy Pelosi, and the "National Endowment for Democracy" (and Nathan) will sign up. Then there will be the CIA planted story of a "Social Democrat" who has been (choose one) assassinated/tortured/maimed by "agents" of Chavez so good democratic lefties should support the coup against "Stalinism" - forwarded here by the Pugliese forwarding service :-) Actually I expect MP to forward that story from Nepal first. A Dissent/TheNewRepublic report of gouging the eyeballs of "Social Democratic" babies by the "Stalinist" revolutionaries. Lots to look forward to on LBO-talk!
