They are looking for paramilitaries in Colombia to infiltrate them here in Zulia and in Caracas as well, to try to destabilize Venezuela on 23 November. I want to warn the pseudo-Yankees: If they try to take us down the path of violence, we will respond with all the force of the people!”

I smell red flag military operation by Chavez if he finds himself losing. It's very convenient that the Soviets will be on hand to assist as required.
