Chavez warns of US-backed coup plot in Bolivia
Press Trust of India
Caracas (Venezuela), October 10, 2006
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez warned of a US-backed plot to topple his close ally, Bolivian leader Evo Morales.
The US government "is not going to give Evo a honeymoon. A destabilising plan is already under way to impede Evo from governing," Chavez said in a televised speech on Monday.
"First to impede him from governing so that the Bolivian people will become disenchanted," Chavez said. "And later, to topple him."
The Venezuelan leader has suggested previously that Washington was linked to moves to undermine the government of Morales, accusing it of having a hand in hotel bombings and protests earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Morales claimed in May that the United States was plotting to assassinate him.
US officials have denied that they are planning coups or assassinations against either Chavez or Morales.
Chavez said the US government was orchestrating the alleged plot. Referring to recent rumours about such an attempt, he said, "It's not the Bolivian opposition speaking, it's the US empire speaking."
Bolivia faced violent clashes between rival groups of miners last week and earlier strikes in several states across the country, and Chavez called that recent unrest part of a conspiracy against Morales.
Chavez said the US government has used the fight against cocaine trafficking to increase its military presence on the continent and accused it of seeking an "excuse" to overthrow Morales, who is pushing to decriminalise the coca plant, the main ingredient in cocaine.
Ya gonna sell Evo some AK's Ooogo?
This guy is the most paranoid individual on the planet.
And it's all Karl Rove's fault.
What makes me paranoid is that he is aligned with Amadinajahd, who is in turn aligned with Lil Kim.
Plus Chavez is building up a soviet aresenal in our backyard.
Paranoid maniac. But it keeps him in power.
He is definitely a psycho case.
What's really sad is probably one or more in ten Americans believe him.
If this clown ends up putting balistic missles in across the carribean, his fears may come true
are we really gonna topple Evil Morals?
Chavez you aint worth the paper to wipe you off our boots
Here some snips on Hugo "Windy Blowhard" Chavez:
At OPEC, Chavez fights for increasing prices, making life hard for poor countries that import oil, and then offers those very same nations oil subsidies they have no choice but to accept. This has happened to 14 Caribbean countries. He also sends 100,000 barrels of oil to Cuba DAILY, and 200,000 barrels to Bolivia every month in exchange for soy, poultry and political subservience. He has also bought $3 billion worth of Argentine bonds to entice President Kirchner's loyalty. He sponsors 30 countries, including some in Africa, in order to buy their vote for a seat at the U. N. Security Council.
9. Chavez may have signed 20 trade deals with Iran's Ahmandinejad, but what he really lusts for is U. S. capitalism. He exports 1.5 million barrels of oil a day to the U. S. Since oil makes up half the government's revenue and the U. S. is the principal destination of Venezuelan oil, he pays daily homage to U. S. capitalism.
Another of his frauds involves the electoral system. Chavez has manipulated the voter registration rolls, adding two million phantom voters, including 30,000 who are 100 years old and citizens names "Superman."
10. Venezuelan army officers betray Chavez every day. Labor leader Carlos Ortega recently fled with three officers from a high-security prison controlled by the army. They evaded security controls thanks to help from army personnel.

Chavez' own population can't stand him. Thousands upon Thousands of Rosales Supporters (windy Hugo's opposition) came pouring out into the streets most recently. The same thing is going on in Bolivia: Citizens can't stand Evo Morales, either.
It's the Karl Rove pyschotic paranoid rotisserie, set it and forget it.
Rove became bored with the hurricane steering unit, got the tee shirt, done that.
Rove, you magnificent bastard.
Boliva, Boliva, I kinda remember the place. Just west of nowhere and east of no friggen place. Somehow I just can't wrap myself up with any concern about this.
And I think a whole TON of Venezuelans agree with your assessment of their brain cells. :)
When is the election between Chavez and Rosales?
I highly doubt it, but Im sure we are fighting his coca trade
Offhand, I can't recall the exact date; but it's soon. And partly the reason why Chavez is being such a big mouth. He's learned about snatching headlines in lieu of paying for PR from US Democrats.
