Hezbollah members are turning up in the strangest places. Recently they have appeared, as alien visitors, on the Venezuelan side of the Guajira Peninsula, a territory shared with Colombia. The Islamic fanatics of Hezbollah are rapidly infiltrating the tribe of the Wayuu. The members of the Wayuu tribe walk across political boundaries without restrain. They were there before Venezuela and Colombia existed and they think of themselves as a nation. Hezbollah militants are indoctrinating the members of this tribe to convert them into Islamic fanatics in charge of disseminating the terrorist message that has already created chaos, death, and misery in the Middle East.
The Hezbollah group invading Venezuela is doing its work openly on the Venezuelan side of the Guajira Peninsula. They are disseminating, via the Internet, a strategy "to change Venezuela," including:
Total destruction "of the sex industry" (whatever that means)
Attacking the upper classes, "who are the most corrupt," all white collar criminals and continuing the cleaning downwards
Attacking corruption in government (not such a bad idea) and in the masses, both civilians and military
Attacking false idols and satanic cults, as defined by them
The logo adorning the main page and document is an AK-47 rifle. The propaganda appearing on the Web presence of the Venezuelan subsidiary of Hezbollah [hosted by Microsoft] talks about installing the kingdom of God in Venezuela by imposing a military-theocratic type of government, an explosive mixture similar to what already exists in Iran.
It claims: "The brief enjoyment of life on earth is selfish. The other life is better for those who follow Allah." Where have we heard this before? In the leaflets that encourage the suicide missions of children and teenagers in Palestine.
Is the Venezuelan Hezbollah for real or is it just the product of pranksters with a macabre sense of humor? Available photographs suggest they are for real. This ghoulish presence in Venezuelan territory certainly deserves an immediate investigation and decisive action, if true, to eradicate such a horrible pest from the country. The problem is that Chávez is supporting Hezbollah in the Middle East and will most probably support their criminal work in Venezuela. Will the U.N. or the OAS take note?
Venezuela is deteriorating to the point of no return.
The social and political situation in Venezuela has reached the point in which major action will be required by civilized Venezuelans and their friends, if the country is to be saved from falling irreversibly into the hands of the fanatic and uncultured Chávez gang. Those who are following the Venezuelan situation in detail can see clearly how Venezuelan society is dissolving, turning into a work of horror.
In the domestic scene, democracy and human rights have been roughly and impudently pushed aside, replaced by the abuses of a group of Neanderthal-like bureaucrats moved by social and racial hate. The mayor of Caracas, a man by the name of Juan Barreto, recently exploded out of control on TV, insulting his colleagues in a Stalinist-type of demonstration that left viewers horrified.
A few days later this man went on to issue a decree "expropriating" the golf courses of the two main Caracas private clubs, in order "to build houses for the poor," as if these golf courses were the only available land left in the country for housing.
These are just two examples of how the regime is behaving. The exercise of government, in Chávez's Venezuela, has been converted in a competition among gangsters, to see who are the most corrupt, the most uncivilized, and the most destructive.
While these gangsters roam at will in a country that has become a tropical version of Gotham City, Hugo Chávez is touring the world looking for allies in his quest to create an anti-U.S. coalition. An Aug. 7 Washington Post article said President Bush "does not consider Chávez as a threat." This article reports in detail the attempts Chávez is making at creating the alliance but dismisses these attempts as a "war of words."
I am not so sure.
Chávez has been underestimated for some time now. He is generally perceived as an uncultured clown, as a person with unrealistic dreams of grandeur and as a wasteful political leader with an obsolete ideology. This is all true, but Hugo Chávez is also a very dangerous man, with a big bag of money and a deep inferiority complex rooted in social and racial components. I think he is willing to do anything to leave an imprint in history, no matter what, how, or when.
This is a scenario that has to be taken into account if very unpleasant surprises for the national security of the Western hemisphere are to be avoided.
Today, Chávez is openly siding with North Korea, Iran, Syria, and Cuba; four rogue, terrorist states. By creating a mission manager post for Cuba and Venezuela, something only previously done for Iran and North Korea, the U.S. government is finally assigning the Castro-Chavez axis the priority it deserves. This is a move that has both flattered and worried Chávez. Therefore he has decided to accelerate his efforts to create a global coalition against the United States.
