Book Reviews of The Chavez Code: Cracking US Intervention in Venezuela
Book Review: This country will be free or we will die trying to be free
Summary: 5 Stars
This book proves clearly the involvement of the US government in the April 12, 2002 coup against President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.
As Saul Landau states in his excellent foreword: `the US government acted in a premeditated conspiracy with the wealthy classes of Venezuela to undo a democratic process in a country with free and fair elections and a functioning legislative and legal system.'
Before the coup, the US penetrated all sectors of the civil society, political parties and Armed Forces in Venezuela; the latter through control of those who had received training at the School of the Americas. During the PDVSA (Petroleos de Venezuela SA) strike against Hugo Chavez a US company with CIA ties intentionally sabotaged essential equipment.
Despite the fact that coups against democratic governments are illegal, the US financed the plotters, which included representatives of the Catholic Church.
During the failed coup (it lasted only 2 days), all of Venezuela's democratic institutions were dissolved. There were flagrant media manipulations (CNN) and the US press unanimously praised the Venezuelan president's undemocratic ouster.
This shameful saga tells also the story of an assassination (Danilo Anderson) and a kidnapping (Luisa Ortega Diaz).
Eva Golinger did magnificent research under the Freedom of Information Act. She points rightly her finger at the totally biased media monopolies (the Cisneros group controls 70 media outlets in 39 countries).
This book sketches a terrible story of a totally undemocratic intervention in a foreign country by another `democratic' state.
A must read for all those who are fighting for a real democracy.
I highly recommend the TV report made of this coup by Kim Bartley and Donnacha O'Brien `The Revolution will not be televized'.
