]]> faces a vote at the weekend on his proposals to change 69 articles of the constitution including scrapping the limit on the number of terms a president can serve. Venezuela’s largest business chamber. Fedecámaras to which thousands of large and small businesses belong has called the planned reforms an “illegal act” and called on voters to oppose their passage “by every possible legal means”. Arrests and indefinite incarceration can’t be far behind. But the threat that Chavez poses isn’t limited to the area within Venezuela’s borders. He’s also a threat to his neighbors. An IBD editorial sums up the that Hugo Chavez poses to Colombia. The backdrop is negotiations between Colombia and the FARC which Chavez had been mediating until Colombian President Alberto Uribe learned that Chavez was working with the terrorists. Uribe fired Chavez. In theory a mediator should persuade two sides to each give up something to achieve a common end. The only one who gave up anything however was Uribe who watched Chavez cavort with terrorists before TV cameras giving them a legitimacy in Caracas they never had known. Even worse. Chavez proved to be acting as an agent of the terrorists. Uribe’s sudden cutoff of the mediation effort at a hastily organized press conference last Wednesday suggested disturbing new information. On Sunday. Chavez confirmed it: “I think Colombia deserves another president it deserves a better president,” he said. That followed a discussion in a U. S prison between extradited FARC terrorist Ricardo Palmera aka “Simon Trinidad,” and another mediator and Chavez ally appointed by Uribe. Senator Piedad Cordoba. They discussed “a transitional government” with the terrorist as a bargaining chip for the hostage swap. On Monday. Chavez repeated what he had in mind to make sure Uribe understood. “Reconciliation is impossible,” he said. “We have to wait for a new government in Colombia we can talk with. I hope it arrives sooner rather than later.” No wonder Uribe lashed out saying Chavez was less interested in mediating than in overthrowing Colombia’s government. That may have sounded far-fetched but it’s what the guerrillas have been fighting for since 1964 and Chavez’s admiration for them is no secret. Uribe who has come down on the guerrillas harder than any other Colombian leader is the president they want gone. “You seek continental domination” Uribe said and “a Marxist FARC government” to replace Colombia’s elected one. He also pointed out that it was prime time for Chavez to be trying this with the Venezuelan’s public support at home flagging just one week before a constitutional referendum to grant him absolute power. I’ve Chavez to go expansionist on Colombia for a couple of years now. FARC makes for a natural Chavez ally. The Venezuelan polls show him losing support for being made dictator for life by vote. Colombia is a US ally but not one that we’re likely to go all out for if Chavez attacks by proxy via the FARC and the paramilitary groups that he has been creating across Venezuela. I guess what I’m getting at is if you’re wondering where the next land war in South America is likely to be keep an eye on the Venezuela-Colombia border. Update: I’ve received an email from the author of the IBD report linked above. The author goes into quite a bit more detail about Chavez. Colombia and FARC and I think it adds much to the discussion. The author directly addresses Blaise’s comments about Corodoba. One the ‘transitional government’ reference is real. The Colombia government hasn’t backed away from its charge that Cordoba talked of a transitional government with Simon Trinidad. Late last night it released in English its charge that that happened. That means they wanted that to get out – and they indexed it with Google which is unusual. If you’d like to look see here: As for Blaise’s claim that the US officials have backed Cordoba’s claim. I am not sure that’s correct. I’ve searched the US embassy Web site and the Colombian press sites and I don’t see any such reference. But whether Cordoba has talked about a ‘transitional government’ which Blaise discounts. Chavez himself stated twice for emphasis that he wants another government running Colombia. Meanwhile while I don’t think it’s likely it’s possible that Chavez could make menacing military border moves since the Cuban press reported that he called his men to their barracks. He’s also not a peaceable leader he sent troops in to invade much weaker Guyana this month google that scary stuff. I think he’s more likely to meddle through cash to get the Colombian voters to give him what he wants. Whatever he does it’s meddling and he’s capable of it. He’s meddled in every single election in Latin America since 2006. There’s no doubt in my mind that Chavez was threatening Uribe with regime change from his repeated statements about it and Cordoba is his ally. Why would Cordoba deny this by the way? Because she’s facing treason charges on some other matter (I don’t think anything will come of it someone not in the government brought a case before the Supreme Court over an unrelated matter and they are probing). But she has an incentive to protect herself from the ‘transition’ talk under such legal heat. This all just happened yesterday. She’s openly Chavista she wears red a lot she suddenly has a lot of money and she’s somehow got a lot of FARC contacts. I am not sure what Blaise meant by IBD publishing an error about Chavez and FARC. I wish I knew what he meant. For his information. FARC calls itself a ‘Bolivarian’ organization and it’s had Chavez’s picture festooning its web site in the past. A former FARC hostage who escaped last Dec 31. Fernando Araujo who is now Colombia’s foreign minister said that his FARC kidnappers used to dance with glee any time they heard Chavez speaking on the radio. There’s no doubt that Hugo and the FARC are like lips and teeth the only thing separating them up till now has been an absence of contact and the mediation opportunity from Uribe gave them both a golden opportunity to have that contact. There was something really dreadful about Chavez slavering to have a meeting with Manuel Marulanda the aging FARC founder who’s been in the Colombian jungle for 43 years. Chavez would have treated him with the same drooling devotion as he does Castro because Marulanda is a ‘legend.’ Chavez has a great deal of admiration for FARC and the feeling is mutual. His talk of regime change reflected precisely the FARC’s final aim. The author is checking on one other startling Chavez gambit in Colombia. I’ll update once more is learned about it. Here are a couple of reports on the Venezuela-Guyana conflict the and an “The backdrop is negotiations between Colombia and the FARC which Chavez had been mediating until Colombian President Alberto Uribe learned that Chavez was working with the terrorists.” Uribe a man who is everything we wish Bush was has known for along time Chavez supports the FARC. One of their leaders. Rodrigo Granda was captured in Caracas a couple years ago coming out of a Chavez “Bolivarian Circles” meeting. The guerillas have also found to have been furnished with Venezuelan weapons. The FARC have long been allied with Castro. Chavez’ mentor as well. Anyway the FARC have been almost decimated by the great Uribe’s own “surge” he initiated in 2002 so I wouldn’t look for any kind of proxy invasion. They don’t have the capacity to do much other than terrorize innocent Colombians. Chavez however will probably step up his support of the terrorists reversing some of Uribe’s success. I also doubt Chavez would be stupid enough to launch any kind of conventional invasion. The Colombian military is tough has been fighting the guerillas for 40 years and outnumber the Venezuelan forces 3 to 1. The United States is also a staunch ally with a presence in Colombia and would no doubt throw whatever it took to ensure the Chavez era ended. The USA is prohibited from using assassination as a tool by Executive Order. That does not mean that our military cannot target the leadership of a country with whom we are at war; it means we cannot send in covert assassins as part of regime change. Executive Orders have the same effect on the Executive Branch as does federal statutes. But unlike items in the US Code. EO’s can be repealed by the stroke of the President’s pen or bypassed as an exemption by a specific finding of the President. In other words it is going to take a lot more from Chavez to get the moonbat piece of sh*t to admit the truth. More than likely she’ll still be fantasizing doing a private pole dance for Hugo no matter what he does to his people. When people like her continue to stubbornly hold on to their delusions in the face of reality we say they suffer from paranoia. Frankly like many moonbats she needs to ask her doctor if thorazine or electroshock therapy is right for her. First there is no allegation (at least here) that Chavez was actually working with the FARC. That doesn’t mean that people haven’t suspected it for a long time; it is thought that he harbours them. Granda was in Caracas when he was captured and Uribe is reported to have shown Chavez photos on FARC encampments inside Venezuela. But that is not something at the centre of the present dispute though it may have motivated Pres. Uribe’s strong words (it was horrible to see Chavez gallivanting around with a FARC leader). The issue is that Chavez divulged private discussions between himself and Pres. Uribe that took place in Santiago (overshadowed by the Spanish King’s comments to Chavez). They had kind of gotten over that though; last Monday Uribe gave Chavez until the end of December to get results. While in Santiago however. Chavez had asked permission to speak directly with the Colombian Military High Command; Uribe said no. The next (last week) Wednesday Gen. Montoya picked up the phone to answer a call from Sen. Piedad Cordoba (the other interlocutor) and there was Chavez on the other end. Obviously he reported it to Uribe…and then it all hit the fan. The first reaction from Chavez was quite calm…but since then he has just gone off the deep end. Pres. Uribe in his speech Sunday commented that that Colombia needed an interlocutor with the terrorists but not someone who was helping them. But in reality this was more polemics (perhaps unfortunate polemics) because the real issue was the call to Gen. Montoya. The other inaccuracy is the suggestion that Sen. Cordoba discussed a “transitional government” with “Simon Trinidad”. Uribe seems to have spoken too quickly in making this accusation. Sen. Cordoba indicates she didn’t discuss this and a US State Department official who was present during the meeting supports her version. I think that Pres. Uribe was completely right to end Chavez’ involvement but it wouild have been better had he been more restrained in his comments. Chavez looks like a complete idiot at this moment. There is a simple question to ask: Why does Chavez have his nose so out of joint? He has no interest does he in what is essentially a matter internal to Colombia right? I think that Uribe should have restricted his comments to the phone call and the above question. Chavez’ tantrum would have then made him look like a fool here in Venezuela in France and around the world. Of course. Chavez DOES have an interest in Colombia. You are right. Bryan to “half expect” Chavez to go expansionist here. There has been a problem in the border area with “Chavista” involvement in local elections and a diplomat was expelled earlier this year. That is about all Chavez can do however. Uribe’s popularity is up to 80% (given that 50% of the country is poor it shows his popularity is widespread) and people do not like Chavez. They can’t do anything miliarily because to echo TBinSTL above the Colombia military is in a different category than Venezuela’s. They have a lot of conscripts but they also have a lot of regular professional soldiers who are well trained and sadly highly experienced. In the end this all has a lot to do with Chavez trying to demogogue; he wants to stir up nationalist feeling in Venezuela so that he will be seen as the country’s saviour and thus he will win Sunday’s referendum vote (which he is currently losing). This tactic may well backfire for two reasons: first. Colombians and Venezuelans like each other…to an outsider such as myself it is difficult to distinguish between them (they’re all great). Secondly. Uribe’s popularity is not restricted to Colombia. He is well liked in the region including in Venezuela. Perhaps there wasn’t a smoking gun but that doesn’t mean Uribe didn’t rightly suspect Chavez’ support for the guerillas based on the accumulated evidence and the shared ideology. The negotiations were a farce from the get-go anyway. Uribe had to play along for political reasons but does anyone think he would unleash 500 FARC terrorists to resume murdering the Colombian people? Also maybe Uribe was wrong about Cordoba’s discussion but she is and always has been a tool of the FARC as Uribe has pointed out. I’m sure you saw the with the savages receiving flowers from them and wearing their same beret in solidarity. She’s also a much beloved figure on the international Left scene by the way. Check out from this forum she attended for example. It’s an all-star lineup up of communists. Islamofascists and various other loathesome enemies of civilization. Of course the entire process was a farce from the get-go. Apart from whether Uribe would have allowed hundreds of legally imprisoned FARCs out of jail (he might have…he allowed 144 FARC out last summer…145 if you count Granda and about 20,000 paramilitaries will get off virually scot-free under the Law of Peace and Justice)is the fact that the FARC would NEVER have let their hostages go. Good grief…after almost 4 months they couldn’t even get a picture from them to show that any of the prisoners were even alive. That is the cruelty of the process because it carried with it an element of the families being led-on. In reality this is why I think Uribe allowed the process to begin…it would have allowed him to say after it had failed that even Chavez couldn’t do anything. This would have got Sarkozy off his back he hoped. As for Cordoba. I tend to cut her a bit of slack even though as you say her connections with the FARC are suspicious. First she is a member of the Liberal Party not the Polo…so she identifies with one of the traditional parties. More importantly she is a person of great personal courage. Historically,in Colombia to hold views such as hers has carried some risk. You may know that she was kidnapped a number of years ago by the paramilitaries…by Carlos Castaño in fact. She stood up to him…defying him to kill her (which would have been nothing for him). Ultimately she was let go. So though I disagree with her and distrust her even. I do respect her. As for the “smoking gun” as I said. I read that Uribe gave Chavez photos of FARC encampments inside Venezuela. You can draw a lot of conclusions from that. Agrippa2k is merely (an facetiously. I presume) applying the Noam Chomsky doctrine dictating that anything wrong in the world today is such as the direct result of U. S foreign policy. On another note: thanks for this post. Bryan. And I thank Blaise as well for the additional information. I haven’t been here in a while and it’s nice to see something internationally important rather than atheist/believer and Thompson/Giuliani flamewar bait. The other question is once civil war does break out in Venezuela how long before the left-tards like Penn. Glover et al start blaming Boooosh for fomenting it so Darth-Cheney/Halliburton can get Venezuela’s oil…answer they’ve probably already started printing protest signs! What better way to make Venezuelans forget their problems than to whip up populist sentiment against Colombia. It also is noteworthy that he’s rousing military support against the neighboring state something he may really find use for as rebellion grows at home. Weekend polls showed that ever since the king of Spain publicly told him to “shut up” in Chile two weeks ago support for Chavez’s move to seize absolute power in Venezuela has fallen below 50%. (IBD) Chavez is out of control and needs to be stopped. His meddling is growing. There’s suspicion he was behind the attacks on the oil facility in Mexico back in the summer now Guyana. I think he’s been angling for war with Colombia for some time. Why do you think he’s been buying up all those Kalishnakovs and planes etc. It’s not gonna be pretty. The FARC are outright terrorists and so is he. The US needs to get a gameplan for Latin America already. We’ve ignored it for too long. To IBD: about the Cordoba “transitional governemt” comment it was in yesterday’s El Tiempo. I read it in the hard copy (not the net) on about page 3. If El Tiempo got that wrong fair enough but you probably know that they tend to be pretty careful about stuff like that. I think I still have my copy at home…if you think you need it let me know if you can’t get your hands on a copy and I will see what I can do. The point regarding an inaccuracy regarding FARC and Chavez was the comment in the IBD editorial that “Chavez proved to be acting as an agent of the terrorists”. Whether or not that is in the big picture true it wasn’t the issue that caused the breakdown last Wednesday. That had its specific origin in the call from Chavez to Gen. Montoya in complete disregard of Uribe’s instructions. Punto. It was ” la gota que reboso la copa” (the drop that overflowed the cup). If you read El Tiempo today for example you will see that the government says Chavez held out that Uribe was willing to meet with the FARC leadership which is denied. But nothing is said anywhere that he was actually acting in concert with the FARC…for obvious reasons. Obviously there are suspicions (hence the photos given to Chavez) but there is not and cannot be any accusation of this at the moment. There is no disagreement between myself and the IBD writer about the nature of Chavez. I had not heard about the Guyana situation but as I mentioned he has tried to interfere in local elections in Colombia. There is no question that the FARC regards Chavez as a sort of hero (though in some ways he is their useful idiot). The potential meeting between Chavez and Marulanda made everyone sick…moreso because Chavez was pushing to have it in Colombia. So the point is this. Chavez is a disaster…for Venezuela for Colombia for the world. But I believe that it is extremely important that we see the facts exactly as they are…they’re bad enough. So it was for the sake of clarity that I posted my note.
