Spanish Judge Ties Chavez Regime to Terror, Assassination Plots

In Spain, a judge made the allegations of Chavez terror ties public on Monday in a 26-page indictment in which he charged six members of the Basque guerrillas ETA and seven members of the Colombian rebel group FARC with a series of crimes, including terrorism and conspiracy to commit murder.

It seems the leader of the new Bolivarian revolution was plotting the murder of a number of serving and former members of the government of Colombia while they were residing or visiting in Spain. Venezuela used their drug smuggling allies in the Colombian revolutionary army known by its Spanish initials FARC to set the plan in motion; and FARC turned to their revolutionary brothers in ETA, Spain's Basque separatist movement, for help in setting up surveillance of ther targets in Spain.

As I have pointed out before, the Bolivarian movement is not just another political movement or diplomatic initiative. It represents a changing of the guard in leadership of the Latin American left from Fidel Castro (who idolized Adolph Hitler before declaring himself a communist) to Hugo Chavez (who patterns himself after Bolivar whose inspiration was Napoleon). Megalomaniacs like Chavez can inflict great harm in their single-minded pursuit of power.

Reinforcing the Bolivarian connection, the investigating judge in Spain has asked his government to request that Cuba and Venezuela extradite the suspects residing in their territories.
