Reflections by comrade Fidel: The speech by Hugo Chávez
had the Capitol of the United States an extraordinary meeting between a group of parliamentarians from the fascist right of that country and leaders of the oligarchy and rights of Latin American coup took place. There was talk about the overthrow of the governments of Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador and Nicaragua.
This happened a few days before the meeting of defense ministers of the countries of this hemisphere in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, where President Evo Morales on 22 November in a speech his vigorous prosecution brought forward.
It was not a slanderous media campaign - something in the imperialist policy of the ordinary - but a conspiratorial activity, certainly in Venezuela to an inevitable bloodshed would result.
Based on my experience I have no doubt about what would happen in Venezuela if Chavez would be murdered. It would need not even be considered by a preconceived plan, a lunatic would be sufficient, or a drug addict, or by the drug trade in Latin America unleashed violence to establish in Venezuela a very serious problem. If the fact from the political point of analysis, one can say that the activities and habits of the reactionary oligarchy, the owners of powerful media and press by the United States encourages and finances will inevitably lead to bloody clashes on the Venezuelan streets would, as it is clear intention of the Venezuelan opposition, has fueled the sight of all hatred and violence.
Guillermo Zuloaga - owner of a television channel of the opposition to the Bolivarian Revolution and fugitive of Venezuelan justice system - is one of the conspirators, who attended the meeting with parliamentarians, the Connie Mack and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen - both Cuban and Batista supporters - was called. The latter is in our population because of their disgusting attitude as a result of the kidnapping of Elián González and her refusal, the child handed over to the father as "loba feroz" ("cruel she-wolf") is known. The Republican representative is a symbol of hatred and resentment against Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia and other countries of ALBA. It is almost absolutely certain that the Congress of the United States, it becomes the chairman of the Foreign Policy Committee, appointed to the House of Representatives. She was a defender of the coup government of Honduras, which was rejected by the majority of countries in the Americas.
The Bolivarian Government of Venezuela was facing a serious and provocative challenge. It was a really sensitive issue. I wondered what it would look like the reaction of Chávez. The first forceful response was made by Evo Morales and his brilliant and heartfelt speech that our people know today. Two days ago, on Tuesday the 23rd, it was announced that Chavez would broach the subject in the National Assembly.
The event was convened to 17:00 clock and started almost exactly at this time. The speeches there were energetic and precise. Everything went in barely two hours and a few minutes. The Venezuelans had taken the issue very seriously.
Chávez began by calling the names of many persons present, and after the new world champion in Karate (Kata) and about the baseball game of two professional teams had been joking, he went on and after about
"... I promise that I will be really short today. It has been said, yes, what? I thank the members Roy - Thanks Roy! - Roy Daza, for the reading of this document, which is written not only in defense of Venezuela, as has been said here already, how has it Eva said. It is so that we act in defense of the homeland of the people, one might even say in defense of the opportunity for the people.
I have a few books brought [...] this is worn a bit, it's the same copy that I was there in the United Nations had raised: Chomsky, Hegemony or survival - I can only recommend this book -: the imperialist strategy of the United States (Hegemony or Survival: The Imperialist Strategy of the United States), by Noam Chomsky. Eva has mentioned it, and reminds us of this great man of the critical ideological position, the creative ideological position, the philosophy of the struggle for the good of mankind.
This is the continuation of which: Failed states: abuse of power and to attack democracy (Failed states: the abuse of power and the assault on democracy). Here Chomsky is no less than the thesis that the first failed state is the U.S. government in this world a failed state, a real threat to the entire planet for the whole world, for the human species. "
" This is a part of the interview, the talks, where Chomsky reflection on Latin America and Venezuela hires, very brave, very objective and generous, and he defended our revolutionary process, defending our people, defend our right to go our own way, enjoyed by us as to all peoples of the world and we do. The Yankee empire has denied us that right and tries to recognize it.
the U.S. Capitol itself - I think he calls it like this - directly in Washington were terrorists a summit now and settles there. A summit, an "patota" (bully gang) - so would the Argentines say we Venezuelans also speak of "patota" - a real bully gang of criminals, fraudsters, terrorists, thieves and evildoers met there, and also with the Avalon by ' respected 'figures of the establishment, who were not only the currents of the extreme Republican right, but also the Democratic Party, and launched - as has been said already, Eva and Roy in the wonderful, read out by his document, a document of state, a national Document - open a threat against Venezuela, against the countries of the Bolivarian alliance.
We greet from here Evo Morales, brave comrade and comrade, and the people of Bolivia!
We greet from here Rafael Correa, brave comrade and friend, and the Ecuadorian people!
We greet from here Daniel Ortega, President and Commander in those, brave comrades and comrades, and the people of Nicaragua!
We greet from here Fidel Castro, Raul Castro and that brave people of Cuba!
We greet from here all the peoples of the Caribbean, Roosevelt Skerrit of Dominica and the people, courageous leaders, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Goncalves, Spencer, the nations of the ALBA, the Bolivarian alliance, their governments, our governments, and of course, from here, our obligation to the untamed people of Venezuela over and our call to the same thing to the unity and the continuation of the struggle for the future of their country and for independence, which the original document - which has already said our President Cilia - here is the original document of 200 years ago.
We're already at the doors of 2011, we are preparing on the basis of all the facts before it: spiritually, politically and morally, to the 200 years of that first Congress, that first Constitution, the first in Latin America, those born during the First Republic, the birth of the Venezuelan native country to celebrate festive! Much more than the 5th July, it is the year 2011 and the beginning of the revolutionary war of independence, the first under the command of Miranda, and later that of Bolivar and of those great men and women stand who have given us a homeland.
The document, which has picked Roy Daza, quoted a saying of Bolivar in a letter to the broker Irving, a U.S. representative, who came here to reclaim the ships, which had seized Bolivar and his troops on the Orinoco because the United States his arms and provisions had sent.
All that you anprangerst there is nothing new, Eva, is not absolutely new, as they send millions of dollars and logistical support. No, it is not new. Since that time the government sent the United States arms and equipment, the imperialist forces of Spain. And this is well known. It has played some of that good Cuban writer Francisco Pividal in another book I also recommend always Bolívar, precursor del pensamiento antimperialismo. (Bolivar, mastermind of the anti-imperialism). You can read this in one go. And it contains a set of extraordinary quotes. You've already shown one.
But in some parts of some of these letters from Bolivar to Irving - I think it was the last one he sent him - as Irving is already beginning to threaten him with the use of violence, Bolivar says to him this: I'm not going to fall for this provocation and not use the same language as you. I want to say, Mr Irving - that is written down, I'll rewrite it, because the idea of the dignity of our father Bolivar has the upper hand, and that's what this hall full of magic, full of symbols, full of country, full of dreams, full of hope and full of dignity is important - so Bolivar said: you must know, Mr Irving, that over half or half - that was found in 1819 and the war to the death already almost a decade rather long - and just under half of the Venezuelans and Venezuelans in the fight against the English Empire fell, and the other half, ie those of us who are left here, are eager to follow the same path when Venezuela to achieve its independence, his dignity, the world would have to defy.
That was, that's Bolivar, and here are we, his sons and daughters, Maria, just ready. The world must learn that we are prepared to do the same. When the Yankee empire with all its power, we do not underestimated, no, we take very seriously must - as Eva has advised us well - to attack us, attack on and Venezuela openly attack decides to try to stop this revolution, you must know, empire and its personification, that we are ready here, that we are as prepared here, all for this country and the dignity to die!
One would wonder - as yesterday, a good journalist doing an interview - that the summit of terrorists, which is meeting in Washington, some Venezuelans, Bolivians, genocide,-it would be good to know which passport to use these offenders, where they entered the country, as some of them in the red INTERPOL code are included. They are without any problems arrived, and they arrive and walk along the streets of Washington, to make them lovable receptions. Why Noam Chomsky is right. I repeat with Noam Chomsky: The U.S. government is a failed state, which is about the international law of time, absolutely nothing of respect, and also feels entitled to do that, and no one is accountable. He is not only for Venezuela and the other peoples of the world is a danger, but for his own people, a people that is constantly attacked by the anti-democratic state.
Look, this here is a brief summary. Wikileaks, which sounds familiar to you, right?
What is that woman say MPs, those fascist to us, that is, Evo, Correa and me, called fugitive criminals? A legislative volatile it is, yes, and a Venezuelan court might very well demand the extradition of fugitive criminal, because they commit crimes and conspiring against the sovereignty of our country and many more things. She is a fugitive laws. You must appear before the world and as well as other fugitives.
what those laws are volatile, for example, said about "Leo:
'What the U.S. Congress will say to those reports, these documents were secret and were now published on this site Wikileaks? What does mean Wikileaks? It's like Chavez Candanga.
On 15 March 2010, Wiki Candanga a report by the U.S. Department of Defense, published in the treated the leakage more information on U.S. interests through this site and various ways have been proposed to exclude this Video with killings of journalists. " Here are some of the documents that are publicly accessible. It would be seen if any authority regarding any initiative in the United States these offenses, or with respect to taking this alleged crime, is not it - I'm not a judge to determine that - alleged serious crimes that were committed by citizens of their country, civilians, military personnel, of their government.
"I shall read: 'On 5 April 2010, Wikileaks released a video where you can see how U.S. soldiers kill the reporter from Reuters, Namir Noor-Eldeen, his assistants and other 9 people. One can clearly see that none of those making the merest suspicion of wanting to attack the Apache helicopter was shot from them. Although Reuters has repeatedly requested the video, which was her but refused to Wikileaks get this unreleased video has which keeps the U.S. military machine in check. "
Well, that keep in check is meant metaphorically, is not it, at least morally.
Once again the question of what will have to tell the United Nations to play? What would happen if this happened in any of the countries of ALBA would? What would happen? What will have to tell the OAS? What will have to tell the United Nations Security Council? The Human Rights Council? What will have to say, coined by embarrassing celebrity International Court of Human Rights? So that we can see the double standards, with the where human rights are measured, the respect for life, terrorism and all these phenomena.
The war diaries from Afghanistan, 25 July 2010 were also published. Records of the Iraq war. Note this sentence: 'On 22 October 2010 - a few days ago - Wikileaks has posted on its website a summary of documents under the name of the Iraq war, the 391 831 from the Pentagon leaked documents about the Iraq war and its occupation in the period from 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2009 contains. Among other things, this extends the systematic use of torture and the number of 109 032 deaths in Iraq reveals, 63%, ie 61 081, Civilians were 23 984 'as labeled rebels enemies' and 15 196 so-called' from the host country "referred to. What to visit for a way in which a country! 'And 3771 dead' friends', ie members of the coalition. The documents reveal that died during a period of 6 years each day an average of 31 civilians. "
Who examined it? Who is held responsible? Yes, that's the empire. This is the failed U.S. government. I read this sentence: "These documents are arranged chronologically and in categories that describe deadly military actions that involve the U.S. military, including the number of murdered, injured or arrested as a result of these actions, and the precise geographical locations of each event. They also detail the military units involved into it and the weapons used. " These details are sufficient for an investigation.
What will tell the U.S. Congress? Here is our ambassador in Washington. Are you still the ambassador there? Yes, you are ambassadors. As far as we know at this point, one has said anything, right?
says here: 'The majority of the diary entries were written by soldiers and members of the intelligence service, who had heard the reports that were transmitted by radio from the battle front.
'Civilian Victims, which were caused by coalition forces. At the same time ', so here is,' a large number of attacks and casualties has come to light which have arisen as a result of the troops against unarmed motorist shots fired - for fear that these terrorists would be suicidal.
A report describes how a child killed and another injured, as was the car in which they were traveling was hit by the bullets of the troops. As compensation for the attack to the families of the perished Afghani 100 000 babies were being paid, that is 1 600 euros. " Capitalism pays, 20,000 Afghanis, ie 335 Euro, for the injured child and 10,000 Afghani, ie € 167 for the vehicle. And all this, the reports of those who set up, with 'little tragedies', 'little tragedies' out. This is the great threat, the greatest threat today is seeing the planet.
The Yankee Empire is undoubtedly in a phase of political, economic and ethical decline occurred mainly, but who can deny its great military power? When these factors brings together the name, this is transformed, the most powerful empire of the earth, in an even greater threat to our peoples. What remains left us to do? It has also been said already: unity, unity and more unity. be
That the U.S. Congress in January, a congress of the extreme right is? Well, the Venezuelan parliament is from 5 his January, a Parliament of the extreme left.
And I let a call go out to the Members of the women and men who were by the people, by the people and social movements, chosen by the parties of the revolution, has responsibility for from 5th January is a big commitment.
It's really never been there, and Eve reminds us. How can this still be allowed, where we have the Constitution - which has cost us so much, how many years of the struggle, how much sweat, how much blood, how much effort, here it is very clearly defined, even there, in the first Constitution, on the first independence document and in our first constitution, we are a sovereign country - and we risk run that we are again 'the simple-minded country, or the stupid revolution' calls, or even expressed popular 'the idiots revolution', as it may be possible that we allow political parties, NR organizations, personalities on the counter-revolution be funded with millions USD from the Yankee empire, because walking around, and make use of the full freedom to our Constitution to abuse and hurt and trying trying to destabilize the country? I pray earnestly about to adopt a very strict law that prevents such a thing. This must be the way how we must respond to the Yankee aggression, the imperial threat, as we radicalize our position, absolutely not let up, adjust positions, solid experience to consolidate the revolutionary unity. We not only need an even more oriented to the left Parliament, even more radically oriented to the left, we need a more radical left-leaning government, an armed force, General Rangel - Commander in Chief, we will at last on Saturday, 27 November, the day of Air Force transport - which holds its own even more radical revolutionary with the people.
In our civilian and military ranks there is no room for not defined clearly state trends. No, a single line: the radicalization of the revolution! And we have to feel this rough, stateless bourgeoisie, they must feel it. This Venezuelan bourgeoisie know without shame and without a country must demonstrate that it is not without consequences, when one of their most prominent representatives appear before none other than the Congress of the empire, to rant against Venezuela, and then he wanted to continue to have a TV . And so in this style, sort of! The Venezuelan Bourgeoisie must know that you will be entitled to the aggression against the people, expensive, and they should not walk around with impunity.
I remember - and there are José Vicente Rangel, Maduro. Comrade, thank you that you accompany us - under the government of Betancourt were even without a prior judgment proceedings or previous formulas arrested members of the Left parties. They have no evidence to prison and deprived them of parliamentary immunity.
In a few weeks to enter a group of extreme right-wing deputies this room. Well, you have to remind them that there is a constitution. Just as here, both the Communist Party of Venezuela as well as many other parties were declared illegal, and many deputies were deprived even without evidence of parliamentary immunity, others, like the great Fabricio Ojeda, who has given up his seats in parliament went to the mountains, where he his blood for the revolution and sacrificed for the people. I imagine that this Honourable Parliament, taking into account its majority representation of the people's forces will not accept that they will show the ultra-right force and attempts to overthrow the constitutional order. I assume that the state, I am also sure that all the state mechanisms to defend the Constitution and the laws against set the aggression, which are still expected to be in motion.
So, the threat ... As they have called the event the terrorists? 'Threat in the Andes', you know, Nicolás;? Emergency in the Andes, that sounds like the title of a film, an emergency in the Andes and to the danger in the world should be pointed warning or higher, the risk is global.
has just results in a situation where on the Korean peninsula. When I left for here, the reports were still confused, as confused as the sinking of that vessel from South Korea, the Cheonan, but later gave evidence about the fact that this ship was sunk by the United States. Now, on a small island in the years of Yankee empire divided, occupied held, ravaged peninsula, occurred a tense situation: some bombs, some dead and wounded.
Fidel Castro warned in recent months about the dangerous risks of nuclear war. Recently, I was there one more time, and he told me his thoughts and set out-of course we know him well enough, there is nothing better than to talk to each other - and he told me: 'Chavez, a tiny surplus in this filled with mass destruction weapons and nuclear weapons area may develop into a war that could first be conventional ...'; but he is convinced that this will directly lead to a nuclear war, which mark the end of the human species could. So it is not a risk in the Andes, their Washington sharks and the danger in the world.
Here in Venezuela, as Eva said, a light is addressed, and in Latin America, another, another one is addressed and then another. We can say today - not Venezuela; no -: Latin America is a continent of hope and the Yankee empire can not close the doors of hope.
We, Venezuelans and Venezuelans have stood for centuries, for any reason or for reasons of various kinds always in the vanguard of this struggle.
There I see the portrait of Miranda, Bolívar, as the by Martín Tovar y Tovar, Carabobo, and read all the Roy and he said it with passion: that is here in our genes, in our blood. He was a saying of Mao, the great helmsman, roughly the same.
This empire, this failed state, which is the United States, in the end, his, despite his immense violence and his threats, a huge paper-tiger, and we are forced us into real steel tigers, small steel-Tiger transform, invincible, uncompromising.
Madam President, I promised to be brief. I said that at the beginning and repeat it: I am of the opinion that everything to say here was said Eva Golinger, the brave woman, and this gallant gentleman, the deputy Roy Daza, and it was included in this document, I assume that circulate in all four directions in Venezuela and also in Latin America is.
I thank you for the invitation to this event and I thank you for this gesture and one more than I agree with it were in this huge battalion in defense of Venezuela, in defense of the Venezuelan homeland.
If you look at the painting, it seems to be more than a painting, a monumental work of Tovar y Tovar, one sees the infantry, and as the cavalry. Let us find our inspiration there: put infantry, bayonets, on the run! Cavalry with horse to defend the Bolivarian country, the Bolivarian alliance between our nations! "
" Down with the Yankee empire, "he cried at the end and cheers made the ALBA, the fatherland and the revolution.
It is not the slightest doubt that Chavez, a man with a military occupation, the more prone to influence by persuasion and dialogue than on violence do not hesitate to be avoided, that the pro-imperialist and anti-patriotic rights Deceived Venezuelans against public violence thrown to stain with blood the streets of Venezuela.
In Bolivia and Venezuela in the imperial mafia has received so clear and forceful response, as she had not perhaps introduced.
