Preparing for a Saturday Coup? Venezuela Situation Escalating
VHeadline.com News Service ^ | June 13, 2002 | Universidad Central de Venezuela (Bolivarian Circle)

Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV) neighborhood watch committee (Bolivian Circle) officials forecast that another attempted coup d'etat will be launched on Saturday (June 15) collateral to an anti-government march on Avendia Bolivar demanding the resignations of both the Attorney General and the Comptroller General of the Republic.

According to the neighborhood watch committee--which draws its support from mostly from students and local residents--anti-government demonstration organizers will attempt to divert the march to the Miraflores Presidential Palace and confront pro-government supporters already gathered outside the Palace gates.

The group calls on foriegn media to send their own reporters and not to rely on Venezuela's opposition-led mainstream media for news reports and images.

Might I suggest that the anti- Chavez people read chapter three of “The Prince” before Saturday?

And here we must observe that men must either be flattered or crushed; for they will revenge themselves for slight wrongs; whilst for grave ones they cannot. The injury, therefore, that you do a man should be such that you need not fear for revenge."

Heck, read the whole book. It’s only 26 chapters long.

This time do it right. Give him the Allende treatment.

Then find a Pinochet to straighten out the mess.

I would have to observe that VHeadline.com is so tightly glued to Chavez's butt that you would need a winch to separate them.

It sounds like Hugo Chavez's armed citizen milita, the Bolvarian Circle Chavistas, are putting
out a story ahead of their own planned attack on anti-government demonstrators this coming Saturday.
