Chavez: Clinton thinks US owns 'the continent'

Juan Domingo Larriega | 28.03.2010 14:22 | Analysis | Education | Globalisation | World

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez scorns US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as an ancient thinker, charging her with interfering in Venezuelan domestic affairs. "She still considers herself the imperial lady. She is behind the times," Chavez said during his visit to Ecuador on Friday. "She still thinks the United States is the owner of this continent," he added. Chavez made the remarks after Clinton criticized Caracas over the detention of television station owner Guillermo Zuloaga.

During a Latin American tour, Clinton said that the Venezuelan government is limiting freedom and should restore "full democracy."

"A Venezuelan judge comes along and orders the detention of a criminal in Venezuela who owns a media outlet," Chavez noted.

"And then they attack the government of Venezuela ... for attacking press freedom, for attacking journalists and the news media - what cynicism. It's the cynicism of the (US) empire."

Attorney General Luisa Ortega said Zuloaga is charged with deliberately spreading false information and insulting Chavez at an Inter-American Press Association meeting in Aruba last weekend. .......  http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=121794&sectionid=351020704

Picture: ... Chavez Mocks Clinton As Blond Condoleezza: Venezuela’s President Hugo mocked U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a “blond” version of her predecessor .... Visiting Latin America this week, Clinton said the Obama administration’s policies towards the region were helping blunt the criticism of the United States by leftist leaders like Chavez. “To me, she’s like Condoleezza Rice … a blond Condoleezza,” said the Venezuelan, referring to former U.S. president George W. Bush’s secretary of state, with whom he exchanged frequent harsh words at long-distance. ....  http://alindenauer.wordpress.com/tag/clinton/

Wo liegt der Unterschied zwischen Usa und Amerika? .... Amerika ist ein Kontinent in 2 Teilen - Nord- und Südamerika. USA heißt *Vereinigte Sttaten von Amerika* (United States of Amerika) und ist ein Staatenbund. So ähnlich wie Deutschelanb aus Bundesstaate besteht ist es auch bei USA .... Amerika ist der Kontinent! Die Usa ist eins der Laender auf diesem Kontinet ! Der Kontinent heisst Amerika und das Land heisst die USA. ... Alles Klar?  http://www.cosmiq.de/qa/show/1260124/Wo-liegt-der-Unterschied-zwischen-Usa-und-Amerika-Oder-gibt-es-eigentlich-gar-keinen/

Die (US!)-Militarisierung Lateinamerikas .... Die Vereinigten Staaten wurden nach den Worten George Washingtons als „Infant Empire“ (Kind-Imperium) gegründet. Die Eroberung des nationalen Territoriums war ein großes imperiales Unternehmen, ähnlich der starken Expansion des Großherzogtums Moskau. Von Anbeginn der ersten Tage war die Kontrolle über die Hemisphäre das entscheidende Ziel. Die Ambitionen erweiterten sich während des zweiten Weltkriegs, als die USA Großbritannien und kleinere imperiale Mächte verdrängte. Auf höchster Ebene kam man zu dem Schluss, dass die USA die „unbestrittene Macht“ in einem Weltsystem innehaben sollte, welches nicht nur die westliche Hemisphäre umfasste, sondern auch das ehemalige britische Empire, den Fernen Osten und später soviel von Europa wie nur möglich. Ein primäres Ziel der NATO war es, Anstrengungen in Richtung europäischer Unabhängigkeit entlang der gaullistischen Linie zu blockieren. Das wurde um so klarer, als die UdSSR kollabierte und damit auch die formale (Existenz-)Berechtigung der NATO. ........  http://www.indymedia.org/de/2010/03/935769.shtml

Chavez is lucky that the yankkkees have not invented an "opposition" like they did with Nicaragua.
The Contras were a bunch of Argentine mercenaries they carried out the CIA's low intensity warfare.
America considers south and central America and the Caribbean to be it's own back yard, they dump all their crap their and treat this part of the world as though it was U:S territoritory.

Chavez really has nothing good to say about that US ... ever

Somehow, I think his 'facts' are not impartial and that his statements are clouded in personal hatred.
So i choose to ignore him because i can't believe that the US does 100% evil things. Anyone who trys to sell that story has got some alternative agenda. And if they have an alternative agenda, then it means they are in for some personal gain.

Clinton believes in the James Munroe (1832) Manifest Destiny Policy.

30.03.2010 20:51

Since its founding, the U.S.A. has used the phoney philosophy of Continental Army, which in fact was a slaveholder society army, and after being beat out of its invasion of Canada in 1775 by the Canadians, French, English and natives, they went home, and in 1832 James Munroe President made a document called the 'Manifest Destiny' in which the U.S. empire declared that only America will be allowed to control the entire Western Hemisphere, which is the origin of the practice of Latin America called as America's backyard. Such philosophy is Imperialist and predatory and illegal by the United Nations Charter, which declares colonialism is illegal. That each nation is independent and no nation is allowed to take over anothers govenment and contol from a foreign country.
The U.S. government does not have any right to dominate any other government, or to set up puppet administrations in other countries. That is in the Geneva Conventions of war, United Nations Charter, which makes the Honduran Coup, Iraqi, and Afghani governments illegal as they were regime changed by U.S. trained puppet soldiers in Fort Benning Georgia (Honduras coup leaders). They also did an illegal invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, Iraq, ( there were no weapons of mass destruction and no threats from any of the peoples of those countries, and caused regime change to puppet regimes, illegal in the Geneva conventions of war, 1949. First Latin America next the world, as in the Philipines, (against the Philipine constitution), the one nation of Korea, Thailand, and have not left Japan after long overdue pressures from the Japanese peoples to leave their invaded country, and return Japan to its independence, genuine democracy and freedom. etc. War crimes have been committed throughout the region of Indo-China and all that has yet to be brought fully to justice in the wolrd community, world court of the hague, international criminal court, the international war crimes tribunal. No it is the U.S. Imperialists that are the biggest purveyors of illegal violence in the whole world.
