The Netherlands - May it please Your Majesty - Is Curaçao used by US to spy on Venezuela and possibly invade? - by Hugh O'Shaughnessy

In open letter to the Queen of the Netherlands about Curaçao Hugh O'Shaughness writes:"I have the sinking feeling that Your ministers are not giving You the facts about one or two of Your possessions beyond the seas which, as the weeks tick by, take on the aspect of so many kegs of gunpowder. The reason for a possible conflagration is the increasing political and military pressure Washington is piling on the elected government of Venezuela from Your island of Curaçao. In Your gracious speech last Thursday (10 April), at the banquet you gave for President Lula of Brazil in The Hague, You recalled, “a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is closely involved with events in South America”. And it is from this part, principally Curaçao, a few miles off the Venezuelan coast, that, by courtesy of Your ministers, that the US military pressure is coming. US officers have called Curaçao a “forward operating location”.

Note EU-Digest:It would be one of the most grave mistakes the US could make if they attacked Venezuela with the direct or indirect assistance from any other EU state. Mr. Chavez should be left to eventually disappear from the scene by his own incapacity to provide leadership to his people, not by a US led invasion or US inspired coup.

It would be crazy for the US to invade Venezuela, the local people will soon tire of Chavez and vote him out on their own.
