Dear Editor: This month, the US vice-regal authority in Iraq will begin sales in the open market of crude and refined petroleum products from their new colony.
The obvious policy will be to hold prices low, so as to be the better able to destabilize Venezuela and other OPEC countries -- ultimately to allow US interests to overthrow their governments and confiscate their oil. All the better to enable and establish the new Bush policy of global hegemony through control of oil.
At the same time, the US satrapy in Colombia is seeking to push fighting, and social instability up to and over the border into your country.
The people of Venezuela and other countries had better expect a prolonged period of assault by both economic and military means. From the perspective of Washington, where I work, it is clear enough what is happening -- no more and no less than what Messrs Wolfowitz, Cheney and Rumsfeld have always openly advocated in their voluminous writings ... see their Project for a New American Century.
My advice, and that of other honest North Americans, will be to avoid casting blame for serious economic and security problems on your own (Venezuelan) government ... but rather look to the origins of the problems, right here in the US capital.
In the last US election, 87% of the male Anglo vote, and 63% of their sisters, went to Bush ... these people know where the cheap fuel for all those sport utility vehicles is going to come from. And with a $550 billion foreign exchange deficit, they're not interested in paying a fair market price for this commodity ... nor will they tolerate paying in any currency but all the dollars they can print.
Like it or not ... Venezuela is now exposed on the front line of the struggle for American Empire.
