Alarm in United States as Chinese Special Forces Troops Begin Arriving In Venezuela As American Plot to Assassinate President Chavez Discovered

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Russian Subscribers

Russian Intelligence Analysts are reporting today that the Military Leaders of the United States have become alarmed over the transporting of Chinese Special Forces Troops to the South American Country of Venezuela.

The contingent of Chinese Special Forces, reported to number around 350, contain both Special Reconnaissance (SR) and Counter-Terrorism (CT) troops arrived in Venezuela during the early morning hours of June 24th.......

Zitat:(...)The most dramatic State visit to China during the 1999 pre-hand-over of the Canal was made by Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez. In Beijing he emphasized to international reporters, “I have always been a Maoist.” He proclaimed, “Venezuela is lifting itself up just as China lifted itself up 50 years ago by the hand of Mao Tse-Tung, the Great Navigator.” During this visit, Chavez began signing a series of oil and political agreements that led to Venezuela purchasing Chinese military equipment within the year and the arrival of PLA military trainers in Caracas.

In 2002, following the failed civic effort in Venezuela to overthrow Hugo Chavez, American military trainers were withdrawn from Venezuela. Almost immediately, they were replaced by Spanish-speaking Special Forces trainers from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. And during the same period, Chinese Air Force trainers arrived in Venezuela as instructors for a new fleet of airplanes purchased from Beijing by Chavez. Venezuelan military officers, who opposed Chavez swinging the country into the Cuba-China axis, told of al Qaeda terrorists being moved into Venezuela – either through direct flights or transiting from Panama – and met at the airport by Chavez regime operatives and given new identifications before “disappearing” into the Venezuelan countryside.

Newtown CN (SPX) Nov 15, 2005

Over the past year Venezuela has adopted a force structure revitalization program that could be worth as much as $30.7 billion through 2012. If fulfilled, this would make the country the leading arms buyer in the region through the rest of the decade.....

The planned procurements include 138 naval vessels of all types, including larger patrol ships, smaller coastal and riverine patrol boats, three submarines, and various support ships.

"Die Menschen der USA werden von einem Mörder regiert ... einem Verrückten", so Chávez. "Ich glaube, daß die Menschen in den USA sich dieser Situation täglich bewußter werden."
