Another New York Times Psyops?

Principal witness: Yansnier Arias |
Psychological Operations (PSYOPS) against Venezuela 3/15/2009 Venezuela
Analysis: "A secret document of the US Army National Ground Intelligence Center,
recently declassified in part, confirms that the Pentagon's most powerful team
for psychological operations is employing its forces against Venezuela."
Dicen Vivanco fue agente Pinochet 7/2/2015 EL Nacional, Republica
Dominicana: "La Fundación Konrad Adenauer, una declarada organización
anticomunista, asociada en el pasado a numerosas actividades anticubanas, fue la
que ofició como anfitriona. En la oportunidad, José Miguel Vivanco compartió
escaño al lado del veterano agente de la CIA, Frank Calzón, director vitalicio
del Cuban Freedom Center, de Washington. “Está vinculado a la dictadura chilena,
ese es el que estaba aquí, el mismo que tuvo vínculos con veteranos de la CIA
que fueron acusados de estafa”."
Is Human Rights Watch Too Close to the U.S. Government? 7/31/2014 Foreign
Policy in Focus: "And if you look at the advisory committee for the Americas,
you’ll find former U.S. Ambassador to Colombia Myles Frechette. He directed U.S.
diplomacy towards Colombia under Clinton during Plan Colombia, which led to
human rights catastrophes and helped militarize the entire country. It
facilitated the displacement of millions of people and gave the Colombian
government free reign to commit the worst human rights atrocities in the
hemisphere over a decade and more. The pretense of the program was ostensibly to
eradicate drugs, but what it really did was continuously provide arms, training,
and cover to Colombia’s security forces. Frechette went on to serve as a
lobbyist for corporations engaged in major human rights violations in the
hemisphere, like Newmont Mining, Barrick Gold, Exxon-Mobil, and Texaco. Along
with Frechette is Michael Shifter, who is now at the corporate-backed think
tank, the Inter-American Dialogue, in Washington, D.C. He once directed the
National Endowment for Democracy’s Latin America and Caribbean program. The
National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is financed by the U.S. government and is
widely recognized to have funded destabilization efforts against various
governments. There is very clear documented evidence, in the cases of Venezuela
and Haiti, that the NED was financing opposition groups and helping to overthrow
the democratically elected governments of both countries. It continues to fund
political groups in Venezuela against Venezuelan law."
The Hypocrisy of Human Rights Watch 2/4/2014 NACLA: "Over more than a
decade, the rise of the left in Latin American governance has led to remarkable
advances in poverty alleviation, regional integration, and a reassertion of
sovereignty and independence. The United States has been antagonistic toward the
new left governments, and has concurrently pursued a bellicose foreign policy,
in many cases blithely dismissive of international law. So why has Human Rights
Watch (HRW)—despite proclaiming itself “one of the world’s leading independent
organizations” on human rights—so consistently paralleled U.S. positions and
policies?"
George Soros gives $100 million to Human Rights Watch 9/7/2010 Guardian: "Human
Rights Watch (HRW) will increase its staff of 300 by about a third on the back
of the five-year Soros grant, using the new firepower to increase its advocacy
in key emerging regions in the developing world. The donation, the largest in
HRW's history and bigger than any previous single grant from Soros to a US
organisation, aims to help the group fulfil its ambition to boast a truly global
reach."
Hugo Chávez Versus Human Rights 11/6/2008 NY Review of Books: by Vivanco -
"The announcers told their captive audience—which also included every other
Venezuelan listening to the radio, since all stations are required to broadcast
such messages—that our organization was funded by the US government and that we
were part of a campaign of aggression against Venezuela."
Human Rights
Watch in Venezuela: Lies, Crimes and Cover-ups 9/29/2008 Venezuela
Analysis: "A close reading of the recent Human Rights Watch "Report" on
Venezuela reveals an astonishing number of blatant falsifications and outright
fabrications, glaring deletions of essential facts, deliberate omissions of key
contextual and comparative considerations and especially a cover-up of
systematic long-term, large-scale security threats to Venezuelan democracy posed
by Washington."
El agente
Vivanco 9/22/2008 Granma: Por: Jean Guy Allard - "Vivanco no tuvo el menor
escrúpulo de sentarse al lado del veterano agente de la CIA Frank Calzón,
director vitalicio del Cuban Freedom Center, de Washington, ahora implicado en
un millonario desfalco que amenaza la existencia de la USAID. A Vivanco, tampoco
le dio pena asociar su nombre al del desprestigiado comentarista de origen
cubano Carlos Alberto Montaner, arrestado en La Habana en diciembre de 1960 con
material explosivo, y reciclado por la CIA como intelectual madrileño. El propio
Vivanco presentó sus elucubraciones ante mafiosos connotados de Miami tales como
Pedro V. Roig (director general de Radio y TV Martí, actualmente bajo
investigación), Ramón Colás (estafador y playboy subsidiado), el traidor Huber
Matos, vinculado al narcotráfico, Orlando Gutiérrez-Boronat, ex terrorista cuyo
Directorio Democrático Cubano recibió tres millones de dólares de la USAID,
Ángel Francisco De Fana Serrano, arrestado en California en 1995, con un arsenal
de armas con las que preparaba un ataque terrorista contra Cuba, y Sixto
Reynaldo "El Chino" Aquit, uno de los fundadores del Comité de apoyo al
terrorista internacional Luis Posada Carriles y famoso en Miami por una larga
serie de acciones criminales de las cuales se jacta."
La historia oculta de José Miguel Vivanco 5/12/2008 La Haine: "No son
nuevas las calumnias en contra Venezuela y Cuba. Desde hace años existe una
campaña de ataques; cabe recordar cómo en el 2002, Vivanco y HRW, después de
apoyar los propósitos de los grupos opositores más identificados a la embajada
norteamericana, mantuvieron un cómplice silencio frente al fugaz gobierno
golpista del empresario Pedro Carmona."
Vivanco Attacks Telesur: "The Airwaves Are Falling!" 7/17/2005 Narcosphere: "In
his panicked announcement that the airwaves are falling, Vivanco was joined by
an old ally: Venezuelan coup plotter and media baron Alberto Federico Ravell...
More after the jump... The Chicago Tribune reports that opponents of Venezuela's
democratically elected President Hugo Chávez, including Vivanco and Ravell, are
absolutely livid about the possibility that with a new TV broadcaster in the
region, Telesur could bring about the Commercial Media's loss of its monopoly
over Latin American airwaves:"
Vivanco Wants Foreign Money in Venezuela Campaign 7/15/2004 Narcosphere: "He
told Oligarch's Daily, er, Miami Herald columnist and anti-Chavez cheerleader
Andres Oppenheimer yesterday (subscription required) that it's just fine with
him that the U.S.-taxpayer funded National Endowment for Democracy pumps money
into the Venezuelan opposition group SUMATE (the sponsor of the drive to recall
Venezuela President Hugo Chávez, on the ballot on August 15th)."
Crackdown in Cuba 4/24/2003 PBS: "For more on the latest crackdown and the
response by the U.S. and international community we get two views. Jose Miguel
Vivanco is the executive director of the Americas division of Human Rights
Watch. And Frank Calzon is the executive director of the Center for a Free Cuba,
a nonprofit group promoting a transition to democracy in Cuba."

Q&A: NYT’s Nick Casey on getting barred from Venezuela amid chaos 8/10/2017 Columbia
Journalism Review: "One way you can’t run your country is making it entirely
dependent on oil. That has nothing to do with politics, but everything to do
with why Venezuela is in the situation that it is now. When the price of oil is
high, it’s boom times. When oil prices start to slump, as it has now and will
probably remain for some period of time, it becomes a starving time. That’s an
economic answer, not necessarily a political one. The mistake, which I think is
often missed, is the fact that Venezuela has done nothing to try to produce
something that’s not oil. This is largely the reason there’s no money in
Venezuela right now."
