Bio-weapons lab in Venezuela for Saddam and Castro

In personal meetings with Saddam Hussein, Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro have both promised bio-weapons. The lab, complete with Cuban scientists, is now in Venezuela.

Remember a brief mention in the media recently about accusations that Castro had a bio-weapon lab in Cuba? Well, don't bother looking for it there anymore. It was airlifted out by a Chavez C-130 in a rush/hush mission shortly after the news story broke. It's in Venezuela now, in San Antonio Los Altos near Caracas. It is still largely crated and being watched, awaiting final destination along with Cuban technicians that came with it. The Chavez-Castro axis is preparing a Caribbean Terror: biological weapons. In May 2002 Fidel Castro personally went to Iran, which the U.S. labels as the world's most active supporter of terrorism. He was received by that country's leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who declared that "U.S. grandeur can be broken," and that if it is, "it will be a service rendered to mankind and even the American people." Not to be outdone, Castro told the Iranians, according to the Associated Press, that the U.S. is an "imperialist king" that "will finally fall, just as your king was overthrown."

In July, Castro then sent his close confidant Rodrigo Alvarez Cambras - a congressman and the head of the Cuban-Iraqi Friendship Society - to Iraq as an envoy. This was after Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez had already been to Iraq himself, to pave the way for a Latin American Castro-Chavez pact with Saddam Hussein. As BBC reports from Iraqi TV and Iraq Radio in Baghdad, Alvarez Cambras met with Saddam Hussein to convey a "verbal message" on behalf of Castro and also with Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz. The message was that Castro and Chavez wanted to work with Saddam on developing new bioweapons for use against the United States.

U.S. intelligence already have proof. Carl Ford Jr. is assistant secretary for intelligence and research at the State Department. He deals regularly with the CIA and other U.S. intelligence bodies. On June 5 2002, Ford told a subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that "Cuba has provided dual-use technology to rogue states. Such technology could support bioweapons programs in those states." Ford also said "We feel very confident about saying that they're working and have been working on an effort that would give them a BW--limited BW offensive capability. And that's serious enough to tell you about it."

Cuba already possesses very sophisticated recombinant technology, which Hugo Chavez discussed eagerly in personal visits with Castro. Airforce Major Juan Diaz Castillo, the private pilot of Venezuela's Presidential Airbus, has flown Chavez to Cuba on more than a dozen such visits. Today, he is one of the resisters in permanent civil disobedience in Plaza Altamira, Caracas. Says Diaz Castillo: " - With Castro, Chavez always discussed U.S. world dominance and how it could be contained. Of the solutions discussed, the most recurring centered on biological weapons."

As a result, Cuba is today - through Venezuela - engaged in illicit biological weapons research, production, weaponization and stockpiling. They have the facilities to do medical, biotechnological research, and the facilities to build a biological weapon. There are clear West Nile virus links between Saddam, Chavez and Castro. To the trio's delight, Saddam's remake of the West Nile Virus causes a 97% fatality rate. And now, with the Cuba-lab safely hidden with Hugo Chavez, even more is at stake. Given the military liaisons between Cuba and Chavez, the biological warfare aspects of their mutual exchanges, their connections with Khaddafi and Saddam Hussein, and their connections to FARC, the outcome is chilling. Consider, as one Chavez insider has already done, how easily one could introduce a bioweapon to the US by contaminating cocaine.

Just thinking about these implications made Major Juan Diaz Castillo walk out and join Venezuela's opposition in calling for free and democratic elections to remove Chavez from power. " - If Chavez stays, it will not just be dangerous for Venezuela," says Major Diaz Castillo. "It will be dangerous for the whole world."

About 10 years ago, I was on an IBM assignment in Caracus, staying at the famed Tamanacco Hotel across the green from the Presiden't house. There were bullet holes in the side of the hotel as a result of a coup. Needless to say, I never went back, and telecommuted in finishing my assignment.

There is more information that will come out later. I have spoken with individuals in Caracas, and a axis is being formed with Brazil, Cuba and Venezuela. Brazil is going to start their nuclear development plans again, and the news will not publish it.

The last news at militaresdemocraticos.com appears to be a year old.

Are they all dead, or simply incarcerated...?

No, they are not all dead, many of them have been jailed, but most of them escaped. The reason I am posting archived news is because no one knows of what the situation is over there. Chavez is a threat to South America and we cannot have his puke in our backyard.

Yeah ... that's really a scary scenario ... imagine if these masterminds could wipe out the U.S. drug culture and its attendant criminal element. That will teach us a lesson we'll never forget. Oh well ... they're too clever for us.

P.S. This article is pure, unadulterated bullship.

Its interesting watching mankind hurtle toward total annihilation. Its more interesting watching God prepare His ARMy to eternally wipe away all evil, sin, sickness, disease, tears, sorrow, WMD's, brutal dictators, by transforming people from within, instead of the barrel of a nuclear weapon.

Old things (of the sinful, death, fallen, failed nature of man) will pass away, and all things (love, joy, peace, eternal life in an edenic paradise) will become new.

Many people here are well aware of the danger posed to all of the western hemisphere from this megalonomiacal sociopath.

We have our hands tied however, weeping mothers and what not. He will likely steal the next election with the blessing of Jimmy Carter and his traveling band of idiots. Who knows, maybe a couple of rat US Senators will attend his inaugural ball...

Chavez needs to invade Bolivia or sink a US warship before any action can be taken against him.

Contaminate the drugs sent into the US. I doubt it, too much money involved.

Last night on MS-NBC, Jesse Jackson, anxious to attack the Bush Administration answered softball questions from an MS-NBC reporter baiting him to elaborate on 'other' areas where Bush had failed the Katrina relief efforts.

During that interview, Mr. Jackson slipped, and mention nonchalently that the Bush Administration had turned down aid from Chavez, which he had personally offered. Some of the relief which Rev. Jackson mentioned was '20 tons' of drinking water.

This caught my attention, because in dealing with logistics, '20 tons' of drinking water isn't much water. It might be enough to stock a Costco for a week but not replace a potable water supply for a city under evacuation. It's about 10 pallets of bottled water or about half a tractor trailer tanker of water. It might furnish about 1% of the potable water demand for the flooded area for about a day. Notably, the offer was coming from a country which owns about 14000 CITGO gas stations in the US and exports about 16% of the US oil supplies to us, probably in sizable portion through the port of New Orleans.

From the Dec 2002 article at http://militaresdemocraticos.com/denuncias/en/20021219-04.html

And now, with the Cuba-lab safely hidden with Hugo Chavez, even more is at stake. Given the military liaisons between Cuba and Chavez, the biological warfare aspects of their mutual exchanges, their connections with Khaddafi and Saddam Hussein, and their connections to FARC, the outcome is chilling. Consider, as one Chavez insider has already done, how easily one could introduce a bioweapon to the US by contaminating cocaine. Just thinking about these implications made Major Juan Diaz Castillo walk out and join Venezuela's opposition in calling for free and democratic elections to remove Chavez from power. " - If Chavez stays, it will not just be dangerous for Venezuela," says Major Diaz Castillo. "It will be dangerous for the whole world."

Elsewhere a liberal timeline regarding Cuban bioweapons involvement is posted here: http://www.nti.org/e_research/profiles/Cuba/Biological/3490_4869.html

Even coming from a Ted Turner organization, the attempts to downplay Cuban-Venezuelan Bioweapons involvement seems hard pressed.

From a Washington Post article "Chavez Stokes Confrontation Over US Role in Venezuela" By Monte Reel of July 19, 2005

Political opponents of Chavez also criticize the president's repeated claims that the CIA is backing a plot to murder him. On June 24, the government canceled an annual military parade, citing reports of an assassination plot against Chavez. On Independence Day, he watched a parade of the newly formed military reserve force that he hopes will eventually grow to 2 million loyal defenders. One group of opposition legislators calculates that Chavez has increased funding for his own security by 673 percent in the past six years. The president's security concerns are not surprising, since he was temporarily toppled by a coup three years ago. This month, a judge ruled that the opposition group Sumate -- accused of accepting $31,000 from the U.S. government-funded National Endowment for Democracy -- must stand trial for its alleged role in inciting the coup. One of the group's members, Maria Corina Machado, also is charged with civil rebellion for her role in the government that replaced Chavez for two days, until loyalists returned him to power. In May, Bush met with Machado in the White House, a move that infuriated Chavez. A State Department spokesman earlier this month defended Sumate, saying the group is devoted to educating voters and encouraging democracy. "The judicial actions that are being taken here are, from our perspective, simply part of a Venezuelan government campaign that's designed to intimidate members of civil society and prevent them from exercising their democratic rights," Tom Casey, a State Department spokesman, said at a July 8 briefing.

Now consider the recent offers from Cuba and Venezuela, specifically from Castro and Chavez directly, not their underlings. Castro had offered to send doctors to assist in Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, while Chavez offered to send 20 tons of water. It might be noted that Venezuela has no shortage of logistical sophistication between Caracas and New Orleans, as some 16% of the US oil supply comes from Venezuela.

So why would Jesse Jackson entertain and then become insulted by the refusal to ship some 10 pallets of drinking water (less than 1% of a sigle day's requirement), sent directly from a Venezuelan leader with a preoccupation of believing the CIA is out to get him and has reportedly been operating bio-weapons labs for several years to target specifically US world dominance?

One week prior to the recent flooding of New Orleans, Chavez offered inexpensive gas to poor Americans in the US. Although the mechanics were not enunciated, Venezuelan state-owned PDVSA owns CITGO which has some 14,000 gas stations in the US. ( see this report from CNN, Cuba-Reuters, http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/americas/08/23/chavez.gasoline.reut/)

That offer from Chavez also came about a week before Katrina hit New Orleans, when Castro and Chavez met together in Cuba. Several days later, Mr. Jackson meets with Chavez.

There seem to be a surprising number of coincidences involved in their language and timing of events with recent liaisons of socialists of the same ilk.

Perhaps they are all simply similar fellows. It seems both Chavez and Nagin use language to the effect that the CIA is out to get them. I wonder though, just how advanced such paranoia might have extended into their behaviors.

Wasn't that one of the plot lines in '24' season three?

I wonder if Castro-Chavez-Jackson planned to implement a bio-weapons induced epidemic.

If anybody has access to the MS-NBC interview with Jesse Jackson last night, it might be good info to duplicate.
