This is an interesting development that can only make sense if you investigate the reasons for our presence in Iraq, OPEC, Qadaffi, and Barrick (used to a oil Co, now a gold Co.). A obscure group of terms to start you off, but it will emerge in a complete picture having former President George Bush, and Exxon/Mobil Lobbyists in common. Go to Greg Palast for more intriguing information on it. Hint: Figure out if the President of Venezuela was kidnapped or resigned and your on the right trail.
EXCERPT BEGINS
Caveat Lector-
"Threat to US interests" must mean that the multinational
oil interests which have previously sabotaged oil wells,
pipelines, refineries, storage, and tanker facilities by
mechanical means might use a bomb one time. They
also threatened Venezuelan national security by
refusing to work, a rare instance of a managerial class
strike rather than a labor strike.

US media consistently refuse to name this rare bird,
a manager-class top-down strike, always passing
up the opportunity to name this newfound creature,
referring to it as a "strike", suggesting that strikers
come from the same quarter as the "unrest". Forever
whoring themselves as propaganda agents of the
United Fruit paradigm in US foreign policy, US
propaganda media always associate Venezuelan street
protests and public demonstrations with striking oil
industry management and their sabotage of facilities,
as if the protesters were on the side of strikers and
mercenary saboteurs, rather than the opposite, that
protestors protest the management strike and sabotage.

Far from resisting a communist takeover of oil
revenues, multinational oil company managers
and their mercenary vandals have merely been
carping about a modest tax increase on oil, not
out of line with the US state of Alaska's tax on
oil. This disparity between the amount of tax
and the oil executives' reaction is as much an
outrage as the United Fruit paradigm in US
foreign policy making the US the aggressor and
initiator of war on yet another latin american
nation and its sovereign political process.

Citizens of Alaska will readily recognize what
colonialist United Fruit whores the US media are for
siding with the multinational oil company executives
behind the vandalization of oil industry infrastructure
and a manager's strike in opposition to a tiny
Alaska-style oil tax.

Readers here will have not be surprised that once again
the US national insecurity establishment is the reality
behind al-CIA-duh, this time in Venezuela. As the US
attorney general John Ashcroft has insisted from the
beginning,"There is no evidence to suggest that the
anthrax was mailed by foreign terrorists".
SECOND POST ON SUBJECT
US warns of imminent threat to US interests in Caracas

The United States warned of a possible imminent threat to US interests in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas, and advised Americans there to boost their security precautions through January 20.

In a notice to Americans in Venezuela, the US embassy in Caracas said an attack on a US target might occur in a three-day window beginning on Sunday and signaled that it might involve a bombing.

"The US embassy has received information of a possible threat against US interests in Caracas sometime between Sunday, January 18, and Tuesday morning, January 20," it said.

"US citizens are advised to maintain their security awareness," the embassy said in the notice, a copy of which was provided to AFP in Washington by the State Department.

Although the embassy did not elaborate on the specific nature of the threat, it pointed to advice contained in a section of the State Department's latest travel alert for Venezuela about the potential for politically motivated bombings in the country.

"The risk of encountering explosive devices in Venezuela, particularly in Caracas, appears to be on the increase," the department said in the relevant paragraph of the section in the August 15 advisory.

"These appear to be associated with recent political unrest," it said. "Travelers who encounter a strange parcel or abandoned bag should not attempt to identify or move it, but should immediately notify authorities and stay clear of the area."
