The Death of Hugo Chavez. Executive Orders to “Assassinate Foreign Leaders” Emanate Directly from the US President

novanews The Revocation of Executive Order 12333 which banned the CIA from conducting “targeted assassinations” By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research Was the president of Venezuela Hugo Chavez Frias the object of a targeted assassination by the Obama administration? When addressing this question, it is worth recalling that in the immediate wake of September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush restored the sordid practices of the CIA by revoking a ban initially enacted in 1976 by President Ford under Executive Order 11905. The latter stated: “Prohibition on Assassination. No employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination.” President Gerald Ford had issued EO 11905 in response to the findings of the 1975 Interim Re...

“Scientific Assassinations” Are Part of the CIA’s Modus Operandi

NOVANEWS By Wayne Madsen Global Research, The Guardian newspaper’s self-proclaimed Venezuela expert Rory Carroll has glibly categorized serious charges that Venezuela’s late President Hugo Chavez Frias was assassinated by a United States-produced bio-weapon as being in the same league with «conspiracy theorists who wonder about aliens at Roswell and NASA faking the moon landings». A number of Venezuelan and international officials believe a hostile party covertly introduced an aggressive form of cancer into the 58-year old president. Carroll also wrote that Chavez, himself, believed that the cancers that befell former leftist leaders of Latin America, including Argentine President Nestor Kirchner, diagnosed with colon cancer and Brazilian President Ignacio Lula da Silva, treated f...

Venezuela’s Maduro urges Obama to halt ‘plot’ against rival

NOVANEWS in.reuters.com Venezuela’s acting president urged U.S. President Barack Obama to stop what he called a plot by the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency to kill his opposition rival and trigger a coup ahead of an April 14 election. Nicolas Maduro said the plan was to blame his opponent’s murder on the OPEC nation’s government and to “fill Venezuelans with hate” as they prepare to vote following the death of socialist leader Hugo Chavez. The United States denied the claim. “We categorically reject allegations of U.S. government involvement in any plot to harm anyone in Venezuela,” State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said. Maduro, a 50-year-old former bus driver and union leader, first mentioned a plot against his rival, Henrique Capriles, last week. He blamed it on...

Madness

NOVANEWS by jodymcintyre Nicolas Maduro is the man about town these days in Caracas. After opposition slurs pertaining to his past occupation as a bus driver, he turned up to formally register as a candidate for the upcoming Presidential elections driving a double-decker. In fact, the opposition may not realise that their criticisms are actually Maduro’s strength. Is it not right for political leaders to be drawn from the ordinary people of the country they are supposed to represent? Capriles (remember that guy who lost against Chavez last time round) announced that he is not the opposition, but the solution. He certainly doesn’t seem to be the solution for the opposition, but we will have to wait and see. Just days later, Maduro was in the capital speaking at the opening of t...

Obama Killed Chavez

NOVANEWS by Stephen Lendman Most likely he was either poisoned or infected with cancer causing substances. Four cancer surgeries in 18 months raise suspicions. Chavez knew he was marked for death. He said so numerous times. Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez believes Washington and Israel conspired to kill him. He called it similar to how Israel murdered Yasser Arafat. Radioactive polonium poisoning killed him. Forensic evidence proved it. On March 12, acting President Nicolas Marudo said a state commission will investigate his death. “(I)mportant scientists from different countries” will be involved. Maduro believes forensic evidence will show Chavez was “injected by imperialist forces.” He “was poisoned by dark forces in order to hit at the Venezuelan people and Latin America,” he stre...

Venezuelan revolution advances amidst challenges

NOVANEWS Proletarian issue 52 ‘Chávez is the people’. The Venezuelan revolution, which has given hope to the poor not only in that country but also throughout Latin America and across the world, is going through a critical phase. Following the presidential election last October, in which Hugo Chávez was convincingly re-elected with 55 percent of the vote, his new term of office commenced on 10 January. However, the President was unable to be sworn in on that date. Since his fourth operation for cancer in the Cuban capital Havana on 11 December he has reportedly remained in a critical condition, suffering from such post-operative conditions as a severe respiratory infection. As Chávez has been central to his country’s revolutionary transformation, the co...
