Chavez to close oil refineries in the USA if spying continues
VHeadline.com News Editor Patrick J. O'Donoghue writes: Speaking at a mass rally in Caracas before a multitude of supporters from all over Venezuela to mark the February 4, 1992 (4F) coup anniversary and 7 years in office, Venezuelan President Chavez Frias has made ample reference to the current microphone war between his country and the USA.
Venezuelan Embassy in Washington official, Jenny Figueredo Frias, expelled in reprisal for the Venezuelan government's expulsion of US Naval Military Attache John Correa, will receive a hero's welcome when she arrives here.
The President says Figueredo is instrumental in helping Citgo bring cheap heating oil to poor communities in the USA.
During the speech, Chavez Frias repeated his threat to close Venezuelans oil refineries in the USA ... "it won't cost me anything to sell oil to other countries that have been asking for more oil ... real allies like China, India, European and Latin American countries."
The US Embassy must stop spying, Chavez Frias warns, and if he catches US officials with their fingers in the pie, then they will go to prison before sending them back to the USA.
"Venezuela does not want to go to such extremes and wants to be left alone ... the imperialist government must accept the reality that Venezuela has been liberated and will never be a colony of the US again."
Revealing aspects of alleged Embassy spying activities, Chavez Frias has told supporters that government surveillance forced the officers to change the place where they used to eat arepas ... "there's one Lt. Colonel that we have staked out and he changed his arepa diner. ""
We nearly got Correa and the latter justified his exit, alleging illness ... they sent him home because we nearly grabbed him." |
