The Chavez government assisted Marxist FARC and ETA terrorist groups in a plot to murder popular Columbian President Alvaro Uribe.
The BBC reported:
A Spanish judge has accused the Venezuelan government of assisting two rebel groups which plotted to kill Colombia’s President Alvaro Uribe.
Judge Eloy Velasco charged six members of Basque separatist group Eta and seven members of Colombian rebel group Farc with various offences.
He said he believed Farc had asked for Eta’s help in a plot to kill Colombian officials in Spain, including Mr Uribe.
He said the two groups benefited from “Venezuelan government co-operation”.
In a 26-page indictment Mr Velasco said an investigation launched in 2008 has turned up evidence “that demonstrates Venezuelan governmental co-operation in the illicit collaboration between Farc and Eta”.
El Universal has more on the crime.
The judge pointed to ETA suspect Arturo Cubillas Fontán, who is married to a Venezuelan citizen who has held several government posts in Venezuela since Hugo Chávez came to power in 1999. Cubillas Fontán was appointed in 2005 as director at the Office of Management and Services, Ministry of Agriculture and Lands in Venezuela.
Velasco prosecuted seven alleged members of FARC and six alleged ETA members, including Cubillas Fontán, for conspiracy to commit murder in Spain against Uribe, Pastrana and other top Colombian officials.
The Spanish judge said that Cubillas Fontán is “responsible” for the ETA group in that region of the hemisphere since 1999. He is the link between ETA and the FARC.
Velasco also charged alleged ETA suspects José Ignacio Echarte Urbieta, Ignacio Domínguez Achalandabaso, José María Zaldua, José Angel Urtiaga Martínez and José Miguel Arrugaeta San Emeterio with the crimes of possession of explosives.
He also charged suspect FARC members Emiro del Carmen Ropero, Remedios García, Luciano Martín, Omar Arturo Zabala, Ramón Vargas, Victor Salazar and Edgar Gustavo Navarro Morales and their so-called “foreign Minister” Rodrigo Granda with collaboration with terrorist groups.
The defendants have been accused of several crimes, including conspiracy to commit terrorist acts, possession of explosives and collaboration with terrorist groups.
Pro-American capitalist Alvaro Uribe has an 80% approval rating in Colombia. Uribe’s father was killed by FARC terrorists.
Neoavatara has more on this troubling international development including information that ETA members had received training in FARC rebel camps.

Yes, I commented on this earlier. The real question is, how far does Chavez have to go before we question his terrorism ties?

What jurisdiction does the Spnish judge have in this matter? None, except in his one-world fantasies. Why isn’t this being tried in the Colombin courts? Probably, because Columbian judges understand that their jurisdiction ends at Columbian borders.

oooh #4,…ya sound a little testy. Big Chavez fan are ya?
myna commented:
Hugo Chavez is interested to destabilized others countries so people would not realized how flawed socialism. Liberals will be disappointed, but of course, they so parasitic to realize it.
Snake eater commented:
and we know where Obama stands in this.
the dead FARC commander Raul Reyes’ decrypted emails told us.
As we have all learned, Chavez and the FARC were given “assurances and an understanding” in February 2008 by someone speaking for then primary candidate Obama’s campaign at a Marxist pow wow that took place in Quito, Ecuador.
Chavez, Obama 2 Marxist peas in a pod and enemies of America.
Neoavatara commented:
If you look at my blog (and thanks to Jim to linking to it), ETA and FARC were attempting to plan the assasination of former Columbian President Andres Pastrana (who was living in Spain for a time) and the current president, Alvaro Uribe, while they were in Spain…thus, the Spanish judge’s jurisdiction.

#4: Exactly, which is why something like this has historically been considered an act of war, not a crime.
Dick Turpin commented:
This is interesting yet not surprising. Football face (aka Chavez) has been assisting FARC for quite some time.
What I am really interested in finding out is this: how many Iranian backed Hezbollah op’s are in Venezuela now and what, pray tell, might they be up to?
This FARC/ETA connection is likely just the tip of the iceberg in this whole mess up thing…..logic dictates that it is. Now, let’s see how far back this all goes…

“In a Feb. 28 letter, FARC chieftain Raul Reyes cheerily reported to his inner circle that he met “two gringos” who assured him “the new president of their country will be Obama and that they are interested in your compatriots. Obama will not support ‘Plan Colombia’ nor will he sign the TLC (Free Trade Agreement).”

Is it just me, but isn’t plotting to kill the president of a country by another country, or the assistance thereto, an act of war?? It would be a great time for Columbia to rid the world of the pestilence that is Hugo.

OT but does Palin have some gams or what? Yes, I’m straight and yes, I know that’s off topic but that much pretty in a photo just kind of jumps out there to be noticed.
AuntieMadder commented:
jjjjj and bg, a while back I said I’d not watch Beck again. Then I missed the educational value and background information on Obamao admin appointees, so I went back on my word and tuned in again. Too many convoluted rants later, as bg aptly put it, and I’ve tuned out again. Don’t know if I’ll tune in again some time or not. Can say I don’t feel that I’m missing out on anything this time around.

We all know that Chavez is a buffoon, a blabbing dangerous buffoon. As usual he “tricked” the South American populace, which seems easily tricked every generation, except in Honduras.
The best thing that could happen to the people in that country is Chavez taking a long walk off a short pier. He wouldn’t leave any other way.
Jo commented:
I pray for the Spanish judge to be safe, this takes courage.
Go Sarah Palin.
Gregorio commented:
This is a clear view of what America’s founders wanted to prevent. Power corrupts! And unchecked power (Chavez) becomes the most evil force against liberty. The only problem is that secret societies hand pick the candidates to be nominated for either party. Does anyone think that there would have been any difference between Kerry or Bush? They are both members of the Skull & Bones society at Yale. They are puppets easily controlled by their master Molech.
