According to well-informed insiders, a phalanx of U.S. private military
contractors (PMCs) that are active in Colombia under various contract unbrellas,
including counter-narcotics and counter-insurgency, are also fomenting yet another
coup d'etat attempt against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The PMCs
have conducted several cross-border excursions in an effort to link up with
disatsified officers in the Venezuelan military. The Pentagon has authorized
the operation as part of a plan to make it appear that Chavez is militarily
assisting the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). The PMCs have also
established close links with right-wing Colombian paramilitaries and their associated
drug cartels to smuggle weapons into Venezuela. Yesterday, a uniformed Colombian
general, wearing the badge of the Pentagon's Joint Staff, was spotted on the
Washington Metro on his way to the Pentagon. The exchange program is part of
the Defense Department's Foreign Military Interaction program, which places
foreign military "experts" on the U.S. Joint staff for purposes of
"scenario simulation" and "force development."
