Venezuelans Prepare For Invasion - Political Fever

This is a heartening story. Venezuelans cannot sit back and wait on spying to turn into a coup or invasion.

Quote:

An estimated 40,000 Venezuelans, including military personnel, military reserves, community council members, community media workers, and civilians participated in coordinated military exercises of resistance against foreign aggression last weekend, demonstrating the principle of “co-responsibility” between civilians and the military for the defense of the nation as mandated in Venezuela’s 1999 constitution.

“A People united will never be defeated, and the People and the reserves together defend our sovereignty against an enemy invader,” declared Colonel Francisco Salcedo, one of the chief coordinators of the exercises, on Sunday.

Salcedo explained that the objective of the operations, which were named “Socialist Fatherland 2008”, was not to militarize the citizenry, but to build consciousness about the duty that “we all have” to protect national sovereignty........

On Friday, a missile was fired from a Sukhoi war plane and another missile was fired from a naval ship off the shores of Venezuela’s La Orchila Island in a simulated defense maneuver against foreign invasion.

La Orchila Island is the Venezuelan territory whose airspace was violated by a U.S. warplane in mid-May, raising suspicions among Venezuelans that U.S. government had been spying..........

President Hugo Chávez, on his weekly Sunday talk show Aló Presidente, proclaimed, “Our concept of war is of resistance, a very flexible, very variable, very creative concept, by means of all the available resources on water, land, or in the air.”

Chávez assured that “Training for the war of resistance will continue.” According to the president, the first stage of test runs was the missile launch, the second was the land operations, and the third will be rehearsed next weekend.

Chávez explained that the integral defense of the nation “is everyone’s task. It is about an ethical attitude toward the nation, toward the country. Only a minority lack Fatherland and dignity, made up of those who are willing to turn over our country to the North American empire.”
