Speaking from the press lectern at the Miraflores Palace at precisely 02:45 
p.m. today, Communications & Information Minister Andres Izarra has 
reconfirmed the position that the Venezuela government has 
"incontrovertible proof" that a plot is being hatched to assassinate 
President Hugo Chavez Frias.

Izarra stated in clear, unequivocal terms, that he will not reveal the 
source of this intelligence information ... but he did say that persons 
involved in past destabilization attempts in Venezuela are acting in 
concert with the main assassination coup plotters.

A local journalist pointed out that there had been alarms in the past about 
a possible assassination attempt on the President's life, but that the 
government, then as now, had never offered any proof or given 
names.  Izarra merely answered that the information exists and that for 
reasons of  national security, he could not reveal the source and that the 
fact he would not reveal it did not mean that such a plot did not exist.

VHeadline.com can, however, reveal that we have been able to corroborate 
intelligence details from other reliable sources which show a build-up of 
subversive activities focusing on a possible date within the next one 
hundred days.  Activities out of the US Embassy bunker on Colinas de Valle 
Arriba as well as covert locations outside the capital show the high-level 
participation of US government agencies in support of violent 
anti-government groupings intent on the overthrow of President Hugo Chavez 
Frias' democratically-elected government.

The same confidential intelligence sources also formed the basis of our 
February 3, 2002, World Exclusive in which we revealed the preliminaries to 
the April 2002 coup d'etat which saw US puppet dictator Pedro Carmona 
Estanga seize power to dissolve the Constitution, Congress and the 
Venezuelan judiciary all in one fell swoop.
    * Now ... as then ... covert US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) 
operatives are already in place in Venezuela as the SOA/WHISC prepares for 
what we can only describe as "a third bite at the cherry."

A build-up of USAAF and Navy contingents are already assembling at a 
Southern Command base on the Caribbean island of Aruba (Netherlands 
Antilles) to provide logistic and material back-up to an invasion force and 
the Pentagon is also preparing for a US Navy hospital ship to be readied to 
sail off the Venezuela's northern coastline.

In a further VHeadline.com exclusive on February 8 (2002) we quoted unnamed 
but highly-placed diplomatic and IC sources as telling us of the 
Washington-initiated plot to assassinate President Hugo Chavez Frias and 
added that "Spanish-speaking US military operatives are already present in 
Venezuela lending logistic support to several anti-government terror cells 
in what's described as 'a fail-safe plan' to dislodge Chavez Frias and to 
win US control over strategic oil supplies."
