[This is only part of the article above]
Recently, SOUTHCOM Commander Brantz Craddock accused Venezuela of generating "destabilization" in the region resulting from the government’s "threats to democracy". Craddock’s statements repeat the numerous declarations made by U.S. Government spokespersons, ranging from President Bush himself, to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Sub-Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere Roger Noriega and other lower-level players. The statements have been reiterated in U.S. media, without providing solid evidence to back up such dangerous accusations, leading to concerns of a U.S. media-government propaganda campaign against Venezuela.
Despite repeated denials from the U.S. Government regarding a campaign against Venezuela, a recent Pentagon restructuring authorized the deployment of "counterpropaganda teams" to Latin America, set to neutralize points of "potential terrorist activity and regional destabilization," amongst them, Venezuela and Bolivia. According to a report from the June 13, 2005 edition of Time Magazine, referred to in La Nación Exterior (June 19, 2005, "EEUU lanza una Guerra de propaganda en la region"), during the last six months, the Pentagon has deployed teams of 2 to 4 military specialists in psychological operations to develop publicity campaigns that promote Washington’s interests in the Middle East, Latin America and other strategic parts of the world. The new unit, called the Joint Psyops Support Element (JPSE), nicknamed "gypsy" is based at the U.S. Special Operations Command headquarters in Tampa, FL. Considered "psychological warriors", the Pentagon has been sending these specialists to its overseas commands, armed with "plans for pro-U.S. advertising campaigns to counter propaganda from enemies." |

I hope the propaganda campaigns include such greats as Claira Peller "Where's the Beef?" and TeeVee's Batman, Adam West.
...and lot's of Vegas: What you do here, stays here type stuff with showgirls, etc. I think the Arab world would really appreciate that.

So, it looks like the oil propaganda machine has just cranked up...
We'll probably be hearing a lot of puffing and blowing about how screwed up Venezuela and Bolivia are for a few years to get us ready for the next big oil takeover!!!
Geez, I want one of them air cars more than ever now.... _________________ Fyrefly1
