Venezuela is at the top of the hit list for countries likely to receive Democracy courtesy of the U.S. Military. As far as the American public is concerned it's a war of ideologies. The U.S. Government is going to free the people of Venezuela from the Tyranny of Socialism. What isn't being told to the public at large is the truth. Venezuela is a major obstacle for complete control of Central America, The Caribbean, and of course South America. Venezuela with it's vast amount of natural resources has been on a mission this century to create a union of Nations independent of American Hegemony, the IMF and powerful Corporations. A war with Venezuela has nothing to do with Socialism, and everything to do with punishing the Government of Venezuela for daring to take it's destiny and that of the impoverished Southern hemisphere into its own hands, and remain sovereign.

WikiLeaks gives evidence of Venezuela's ambitions to break free from the bondage of the Economic Hitmen, with the U.S. Government as it's main enforcer. It also shows that Venezuela's philosophy of uplifting people out of poverty runs contrary to the mission of the Economic Hitmen, and Crony Capitalist's in the U.S. The following leaks I've posted are a small sample of many from the WikiLeak's Public Library of U.S. Diplomacy on the subject of Venezuela and their region of influence.
THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND HUGO CHAVEZ OF VENEZUELA
https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/05SANTODOMINGO2209_a.html
Chavez's most significant effort in the Dominican
Republic has been his "oil diplomacy," providing financing
for oil on concessional terms. Although Fernandez told the
Ambassador that there was no quid pro quo, the deal stands as
an admonition to the Dominicans of the importance of Latin
American solidarity. Chavez came to the Dominican Republic
in November 2004 for an eight-hour visit (reftel B) during
which he signed a bilateral oil financing agreement when the
new Fernandez government faced an energy crisis and severe
financial pressures as it was negotiating an IMF agreement.
In public comments, Chavez explicitly tied oil to populist
politics, saying that cheap oil would help the poor. Chavez
told Fernandez to invest the savings in social causes to
improve the lot of the poorest Dominicans.
EVO BACKS HUGO THREAT TO TURN BOLIVIA INTO VIETNAM

--October 14: Apocalypse Not
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened to "turn Bolivia
into a new Vietnam" should the Bolivian oligarchy or anyone
else try to kill or oust his ally President Evo Morales. In
a broadcast from Cuba honoring Che Guevara, Chavez added the
Venezuelan people would not "stand by with their arms folded"
if Morales is attacked, rather "what you will see is not
going to be the Vietnam of ideas ...it will be, God forbid,
the Vietnam of arms, the Vietnam of war." Chavez further
accused the U.S. of sabotaging efforts by the Bolivian
Constituent Assembly to draft a new constitution, thereby
providing an excuse for coup.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF COLOMBIAN FOLS PROMPTS CHAVEZ TO DECLARE THE UNITED STATES AS "THE ENEMY"
https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/09CARACAS983_a.html
Following a meeting with the Colombian Ambassador,
Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro called the Colombian plan, "a
slap in the face," and said that the decision could break the
rules of the region. Maduro added that Russia, China and Cuba
do not have plans to invade Colombia or conquer territories
in the region, "but that isn't the case with the United
States and its history of armed intervention."

Senator Nelson noted that the Embassy felt we were not
getting all the cooperation we could from GOV on terrorism.
Was there more we could do on this front? Chavez suggested
that the real issue was not terrorism, but the root of all
terrorism ) poverty. Until we solved global poverty, we
would not solve global terrorism.
MEDIA REACTION: MIDEAST: ISRAEL; WESTERN HEMISPHERE: VENEZUELA, IMF; SAO PAULO
https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/07SAOPAULO368_a.html
IMF Executive Director [representing Brazil and eight other South
American and Caribbean nations] Paulo Nogueira Batista wrote in
liberal, largest national circulation daily Folha de S. Paulo (5/3):
"President Hugo Chvez announced that Venezuela will withdraw from
the IMF and the World Bank.... Chvez's decision has a component
that is understandable. Both the IMF and the World Bank are
institutions strongly controlled by the U.S. and other developed
nations. IMF-supported policies were frequently inadequate and
helped to worsen the economic and political situation of nations
that were obliged to resort to its loans.... However, President
Chvez's decision is deplorable,
IMF AND WORLD BANK: SO LONG AND THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/07CARACAS869_a.html
. (SBU) Chavez followed up his attacks on the IMF and World
Bank during a speech on May 3, arguing, "why do we need the
World Bank, why do we need the IMF, for nothing. We will
create our own Bank of the South, not a small bank, nor a
small fund, no, a big bank my friend, and we'll put our
reserves there and look for financing from other countries,
on other continents." Chavez also alleged that after his
April 30 announcement, a White House spokesperson threatened
Venezuela (referring to Dept. Spokesman McCormack).
JAMAICAN-VENEZUELAN RELATIONS: AN INSIDE VIEW FROM THE MFAFT (PART II)
https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/08KINGSTON97_a.html
Chavez espouses principles of mutual aid,
solidarity, and respect for self-determination. Allied to
this is a strong belief that governments of the world have a
moral obligation to improve the lot of all human beings,
through pursuing policies that promote friendship, solidarity
and peace. His objective of achieving socio-economic
development within the framework of Latin American and
Caribbean integration provides a seductive proposition,
therefore, when allied to the financial and economic support
that he is able to render. On top of this has been placed a
heavy coating of strident anti-poverty, anti-dependency,
anti-social inequality, anti-unilateralism and anti-hegemonic
rhetoric.
The plans for the nationalization of the oil fields
were announced in February 2007 and took effect on 1st May
2007, a year to the date that Chavez ally, Bolivian President
Evo Morales, ordered that the country's gas fields be
nationalized. The companies (US oil firms Chevron, Exxon
Mobil, ConocoPhillips, as well as Norway's Statoil and BP of
Britain), which were slated to give the Government of
Venezuela a 60 percent stake in the projects, all adhered to
the decree to transfer operational control to the Government
of Venezuela and each negotiated arrangements pertaining to
compensation and shareholding. In June 2007, US oil company
ConocoPhillips decided not to accept a minority stake in the
Venezuelan oil projects and discontinued its operations, in a
move that reportedly cost the company USD 4.5 billion. Exxon
Mobil was also reported to have been unable to arrive at a
mutually satisfactory joint venture agreement with the
Government of Venezuela and the two sides remain in
discussion on the matter.
In recent years, President Chavez has championed the
creation of a South Bank as an alternative to the traditional
international financial institutions such as the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, which
would be run by the countries of South America and partially
funded by Venezuela's oil revenue.
If you are familiar with John Perkins book,"Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" you will see that the WikiLeak's which contain the ideals of the Government of Venezuela to form an independent coalition of the Caribbean, Central America, and South America would be well more than enough to bring the full weight of the U.S. Government on it's head. If you support the U.S. Government going to war with Venezuela over a cheap sound bite like Socialism is evil, without getting to the root cause of why we really are going to bomb a nation into the Stone age, than you are on the side of all the wickedness and sickness that the United States of America's founding fathers fought against in their own fight for independence.
