Editor¹s Note: My two correspondents in Venezuela provided me with the following
report based upon their meetings with government officials earlier today.  -LMB


14 DEPUTIES IN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY COME OUT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT

14 deputies are expected to go to the opposition side in the National Assembly 
between now and the December 2nd National Referendum to approve the 
constitutional reforms.

3 LEADERS, FORMERLY LOYAL TO CHAVEZ COME OUT AGAINST HIM

After ex-General and former Defense Minister, Raul Baduel came out against the 
constitutional reforms earlier this week, the Attorney General, Isaias Rodriguez
and Comptroller General of the Republic, Cloudosbaldo Russian are expected to 
publicly pronounce their opposition to the Constitutional Reform proposals. Such
traitorous actions will weaken the cohesive authority of the State and hence 
Central Government.

VENEZUELAN MILITARY PENETRATED

Raul Isaias Baduel, former Four Star General and Minister of Defense shocked the
population when he came out against constitutional reforms last Monday, November
5, and is now working hand-in-glove with Podemos (political party now firmly in 
the opposition camp). Baduel has now joined forces with Ismael Garcia (General 
Secretary of Podemos) who consistently opposed the constitutional reforms 
alleging that they would constitute a single political line of thought in 
Venezuela. His position clashes with the pluralistic, democratic Articles 1 and 
2 of the 1999 Constitution, so prized by the people. Plans have already been 
laid to launch candidates for mayors and governors in the 2008 local elections. 
This would be the new opposition to Chavez were it to succeed.

The 4th Armed Division in Maracay, formerly under of the command of Baduel is 
said to be loyal to him. Moreover, the current minister of Defense, Gustavo 
Briceno Rangel has been a close personal friend of Baduel for 30 years just as 
Baduel has been a close personal friend of President Chavez for the same number 
of years. In a seminar with oil workers in 2003, Baduel stated that he had been 
offered $1 billion to instrument the overthrow of Chavez and he stated that he 
turned it down out of loyalty to the Bolivarian project. Is this now about money
or power? Earlier this week, in a public broadcast on VTV, Chavez stated, 
³Baduel is a traidor not only to Chavez ­ but to the people of Venezuela². In 
massive marches supporting Chavez this week, signs appeared everywhere declaring
³Baduel ­ Traidor a la Revolucion!²

Baduel took an oath with President Chavez on December 17, 1982 in Maracay to 
create a Bolivarian Republic and overthrow the corrupt oligarch system which 
kept 80% of Venezuelans in poverty for 40 years. Baduel also stood by Chavez and
saved the day during the 2002 coup attempt. This is the first hard evidence that
the US-backed opposition may have penetrated the existing standing Army after 
the 2003 non-violent purge of the Venezuelan Armed Forces by former Defense 
Minister, Humberto Prieto. How did they do it? We suggest money and the desire 
for power now that petroleum has almost reached $100-barrel.

Millions of dollars of US taxpayer money is being used through the auspices of 
the National Endowment for Democracy (NED-Washington) to buy the loyalty and 
consciences of all these men. In addition, a pronouncement by at least one 
high-ranking active military officer against the constitutional reform and 
against Chavez personally is expected in coming days.

SPAWNED IN JOINT MEETINGS BETWEEN THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT AND VENEZUELAN 
OPPOSITION IN PRAGUE, the CZECH REPUBLIC.

This is all U.S.-planned and supported following the meeting in Prague when Paul
Wolfowitz, Madeleine Albright and Venezuelan opposition leader, Humberto Celli 
from the discredited Democratic Action Party (AD) met earlier this month.

MONEY DOESN¹T SPEAK ­ IT SWEARS ­ BOB DYLAN

In addition to these dramatic findings, Carabobo State Governor Luis Felipe 
Acosta Carlez, one of the heroes in helping to break the opposition-inspired 
food shortages in their economic sabotage of 2002-2003, has been bought off by 
NED funds in Washington and is expected to resign as governor after making a 
deal with rancid oligarchy in Valencia.

The Washington-spawned plan is also bent on blocking major routes to cut off 
distribution of food supplies in order to bring the population to its knees and 
with the hope they will demand Chavez¹ resignation.

URIBE¹S PARAMILTARY SPAWN PLANTED IN VENEZUELA?

The plan also includes the use of Colombian paramilitary cells in Venezuela to 
arbitrarily kill innocent civilians and create chaos which they have been doing 
for the past month vis-à-vis the bourgeois student protests.

This plan also involves another economic sabotage - the closing of factories to 
lock out workers - just as they did in the national managers¹ strike in 
2002-2003.

THE GROUNDWORK IS BEING LAID

The private media (mainly Globovision) is up to its neck in this conspiracy 
against the legally and constitutionally-elected government. Reruns of Baduel¹s 
speech and Ismael Garcia¹s interventions in the National Assembly plus raising 
the profile of Israel Rodriguez are currently being shown over and over again. 
We are certain that this is a matter of laying the groundwork for an attempt to 
overthrow the government. This groundwork is being laid to give media 
credibility to these men. The opposition believes that the people in the barrios
will abandon Chavez for a new government under the leadership of traidores like 
Baduel, Garcia and Rodriguez. Also, they hope that the people will be 
intimidated to believe ³there is no other way². This is directly out of the CIA 
handbook.

On a regional level, some who have claimed to be die-hard Chavez supporters have
also been bought off to facilitate chaos on a local level and to disarticulate 
the influence of Central Government in cities and towns in all 24 Venezuelan 
States.

SOURCES

This information came to Axis of Logic correspondents, Arturo Rosales and Ramon 
Santiago directly from Venezuelan military intelligence. This information has 
been known for at least 3 weeks by the government. Proof: The same sources knew 
that Former Minister of Defense Raul Baduel would come out against the reforms 
before he made is speech on Monday, November 5. Therefore, while we are not 
making any hard predictions, our best intelligence indicates that some or all of
the destabilizing actions described above will take place within the next few 
days or weeks.

Once again the opposition plans do not take into account the political awareness
of the people (³el pueblo²). This was the major error of the opposition in the 
April, 2002 coup attempt and the economic oil sabotage of 2002-2003.

This week, Chavez held 3 pro-reform rallies trans-Venezuela before going to 
Chile, in Carabobo, Maracay and Charallave and hundreds of thousands of people 
poured into the street to see and support their beloved president. Chavez 
obviously knows about the opposition/Washington plan and these mega marches were
designed to serve as a warning to the Venezuelan, undemocratic bourgeoisie.

There is a very real possibility that a ³flash-point² will occur, in the midst 
of these actions or to launch this plan such as hasn¹t been seen since the April
11, 2002 coup attempt, when President Chavez was kidnapped by the US-backed 
coupsters. In world history, there has been no humanistic Head of State 
comparable to him. Period!

Chavez is fully aware that this mega-conspiracy is not an objection to the 
constitutional reforms, but in reality, is another attempt to eliminate a 
democratically-elected Head of State. His awareness tells us that element of 
surprise has already been defused and his administration has plans in place to 
neutralize the actions of the US-backed, fascist opposition.

THE RISKS FOR THE OPPOSITION

The former Chavez supporters, bought off with millions of dollars by NED do not 
realize the risks they are incurring. If these plans go forward, ³el pueblo² may
not respond as peacefully as they did in the 2002 coup-attempt when Chavez told 
them to go back to their homes and be calm. Caveat Emptor! (Let the buyer 
beware!).
