The blurb mentions that its journalist author has written a novel, but that statement accompanies his other articles too. I don't believe it's connected with the contents of the articles themselves. Though vaguely sourced -- it's supposedly what persons associated with the governments of Venezuela and Ecuador "think" ["piensan"] are the plans of their leaders) -- it indicates the concerns of many Colombians about a Chávez conspiracy against the government of their country (and incidentally against the United States).
Check out the responses to the article written by what appear to anti-communists and anti-socialists in Colombia and in Venezuela itself. Whether the particular steps envisioned in the article ever take place or not, those persons are taking the threat from Chávez very seriously.
