If they must cease creating wars in the Greater Middle East, they\u2019ll just turn around and inflame the Caribbean Basin.

Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">John Bolton, the new US National Security Advisor, has relaunched the Pentagon\u2019s project for the destruction of the State structures in the Caribbean Basin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">We remember that in the aftermath of the 9\/11 attacks, the Secretary for Defense at that time, Donald Rumsfeld, created the Office of Force Transformation and nominated Admiral Arthur Cebrowski as its Director. Its mission was to train the US army for its new role in the era of financial globalisation. It was designed to change military culture in order to destroy the State structures of the regions which were not connected to the global economy. The first chapter of this plan consisted of dislocating the \u00ab Greater Middle East \u00bb. The second stage was intended to perform the same task in the \u00ab Caribbean Basin \u00bb. The plan was designed to destroy some twenty coastal and insular States, with the exception of Colombia, Mexico and as far as possible, territories belonging to the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Holland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">When he arrived at the White House, President Donald Trump opposed the Cebrowski plan. However, two years later, he has so far only been able to prevent the Pentagon and NATO from handing over States to the terrorist groups they employ (the \u00ab Caliphate \u00bb), but not to stop manipulating terrorism. Concerning the Greater Middle East, he has managed to diminish the tension, but the wars still continue there at lower intensity. Concerning the Caribbean Basin, he restrained the Pentagon, forbidding them to launch direct military operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Last May, Stella Calloni revealed a note from Admiral Kurt Tidd, Commander in Chief of SouthCom, exposing the operations aimed at Venezuela\u00a0[<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article204400.html#nb1\">1<\/a><\/strong><\/span>]. A second penetration was simultaneously implemented in Nicaragua, and a third, running for the last half century, against Cuba.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Working from several previous analyses, we concluded that the destabilisation of Venezuela &#8211; beginning with the guarimbas movement, continued by the attempted coup d\u2019etat of February 2015 (Operation Jericho)\u00a0[<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article204400.html#nb2\">2<\/a><\/strong><\/span>], then by attacks on the national currency and the organisation of emigration &#8211; would end with military operations\u00a0[<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article204400.html#nb3\">3<\/a><\/strong><\/span>] led from Brazil, Colombia and Guyana.

This was made possible by the election of pro-Isra\u00ebli President Jair Bolsonaro, who will come to power in Brasilia on 1 January 2019<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/local\/cache-vignettes\/L400xH300\/204385-2-4-e1f53.jpg\" alt=\"JPEG - 39.2 kb\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brazilian Vice-President Hamilton Mour\u00e3o with President Jair Bolsonaro.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The next Vice-President of Brazil will be General Hamilton Mour\u00e3o, whose father played an important role in the pro-US military coup d\u2019etat of 1964. He has made himself famous by his declarations against Presidents Lula and Rousseff. In 2017, he declared \u2013 on behalf of the Grand Orient of Brazil \u2013 that the time for a new military coup d\u2019etat had arrived. Finally, he was re-elected with President Bolsonaro. In an interview with the magazine <em>Piaui<\/em>, he announced an impending overthrow of the Venezuelan President, Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, and the deployment of a Brazilian \u00ab peace \u00bb force (sic). Faced with the gravity of these statements, which constitute a violation of the United Nations Charter, elected President Bolsonaro declared that no-one had any intention of going to war with anyone, and that his Vice-President talked too much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In any case, during a Press conference on 12 December 2018, President Maduro revealed that US National Security Advisor John Bolton was handling the coordination between the teams of Colombian President Iv\u00e1n Duque and those of the Brazilian Vice-President. A group of 734 mercenaries is currently being trained in Tona (Colombia) in order to perpetrate a false flag attack, allegedly by Venezuela, against Colombia \u2013 thereby justifying a Colombian war against Venezuela. The war would be under the command of Colonel Oswaldo Valent\u00edn Garc\u00eda Palomo, who is today in hiding after the attempted assassination by drone of President Maduro during the anniversary of the National Guard on 4 August 2018. These mercenaries are supported by Special Forces stationed on US military bases in Tolemaida (Colombia) and Eglin (Florida). The US plan is to take over, from the beginning of the conflict, the three Venezuelan Libertador military bases of Palo Negro, Puerto Cabello and Barcelona.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_180759\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Wanted-notice-Garcia-Palomo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180759\" class=\"size-full wp-image-180759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Wanted-notice-Garcia-Palomo.jpg\" alt=\"Wanted notice for Colonel Oswaldo Valent\u00edn Garc\u00eda Palomo of the Venezuelan National Guard, after he had commanded an attempted assassination of the President of the Bolivarian Republic.\" width=\"400\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Wanted-notice-Garcia-Palomo.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Wanted-notice-Garcia-Palomo-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Wanted-notice-Garcia-Palomo-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-180759\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wanted notice for Colonel Oswaldo Valent\u00edn Garc\u00eda Palomo of the Venezuelan National Guard, after he had commanded an attempted assassination of the President of the Bolivarian Republic.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The US National Security Council is attempting to convince various states not to recognise Nicol\u00e1s Maduro\u2019s second mandate (he was re-elected last May, but will assume power with the New Year). This is why the states of the Lima Group contested the Presidential ballot even before it took place, and illegally forbade Venezuelan consulates from organising it. Furthermore, the migration crisis turns out to be just one more manipulation \u2013 many of the Venezuelans who fled the monetary crisis believing that they would easily find work in another Latin-American country are today trying to return home. But the Lima Group prevents them from doing so, forbidding Venezuelan planes who are attempting to repatriate them to use their air space, as well as interdicting the buses which have come to help them cross the borders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Everything is therefore happening as if we were watching a <em>remake<\/em> of the events which bloodied the Greater Middle East after the attacks of 11 September 2001. The main point is not the military actions, but the appearance of disorder that the events present. First of all, it\u2019s intended to confuse people into making a silk purse out of a sow\u2019s ear\u00a0[<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article204400.html#nb5\">5<\/a><\/strong><\/span>]. In the space of five years, Venezuela and Nicaragua, which used to enjoy a positive image abroad, are now being wrongly described as \u00ab failed states \u00bb. While the history of the Sandinistas and their struggle against the Somoza dictatorship has not yet been re-written, it is taken for granted that Hugo Ch\u00e1vez Fr\u00edas was a \u00ab Communist dictator \u00bb (sic), despite the fact that his country experienced a massive economical and political leap forward during his Presidency. It will soon become possible to destroy these states without anyone complaining.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Time is passing more and more rapidly. When, in 1823, US President James Monroe decided to close the Americas to European colonisation, he could not have imagined that 50 years later his decision would morph into an affirmation of US imperialism. Just as today, when President Donald Trump declared, on the day of his investiture, that the time for r\u00e9gime change was over, he did not imagine that he would be betrayed by his own people. Nonetheless, on 1 November 2018, his Security Advisor John Bolton declared in Miami that Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela formed a \u00ab tro\u00efka of tyranny \u00bb. Then his Secretary of Defense, General James Mattis, affirmed on 1 December, before the Reagan National Defense Forum, that elected President Maduro is an \u00ab irresponsible despot \u00bb who \u00ab has to go \u00bb\u00a0[<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article204400.html#nb6\">6<\/a><\/strong><\/span>].<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/auteur29.html?lang=en\">Thierry Meyssan<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Translation<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"> <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/auteur125569.html?lang=en\">Pete Kimberley<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">[<a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article204400.html#nh1\">1<\/a>] \u00ab <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voltairenet.org\/article201100.html\">Plan to overthrow the Venezuelan Dictatorship \u2013 \u201cMasterstroke\u201d<\/a> \u00bb, Admiral Kurt W.
