United
States would like to "get their hands on [our] oil," says
leftist leader
Venezuela
President Nicolas Maduro, in an exclusive interview with The Guardian
published Tuesday, says the United States is actively fomenting a
'slow motion coup' in his country, with the ultimate goal of
overthrowing his democratically elected government as a way to gain
more profitable access to its vast oil resources.
Rejecting
the dominate narrative presented by the U.S media regarding recent
protests in the country, the man who succeeded Hugo Chavez as
president and won re-election last year said, "They are
trying to sell to the world the idea that the protests are some of
sort of Arab spring. But in Venezuela, we have already had our
spring: our revolution that opened the door to the 21st century."
Maduro says
claims the street protests are at least partly being fueled by
U.S.-backed operatives, and defends this position by pointing to more
than 100 years of history of Washington interference in Latin America
as well as new details contained in files leaked by NSA whistleblower
Edward Snowden—both of which make clear what U.S. intentions
continue to be towards those who resist the military and economic
dominance of the U.S. and its allies.
