Declares It Threat to National Security'; Seeks Regime-Change
Eric Zuesse
The Obama Administration, which in 2009 provided the crucial assistance that enabled the progressive democratic President of Honduras to be overthrown and a junta of oligarchs to replace him; and which in 2014 perpetrated a bloody coup that replaced the corrupt but democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych to be replaced by a rabidly anti-Russian equally corrupt Government and thus sparked Ukraines civil war against the area of Ukraine that had voted 90% for Yanukovych; is now again trying to overthrow Venezuelas democratically elected President, Nicolas Maduro.
Reuters on Monday March 9th headlined U.S. Declares Venezuela a National Security Threat, Sanctions Top Officials, and their report gives its closing word to an opposition politician, whom Obama supports and who says: Its not a problem with Venezuela or with Venezuelans; its a problem for the corrupt ones (i.e., Maduro and his Government).
In other words, yet again, the idea Obama is pushing is: were just trying to replace a corrupt elected head-of-state.

On 14 February 2015, President Maduro had thwarted a coup-attempt against him by the Governments of Canada and the UK. This followed almost exactly a year after he had already thwarted such an attempt by the U.S. Government. In December 2013, the Maduro Government presented detailed evidence that the U.S. was planning a coup against him.
