A presentation by the Austin branch of School of the Americas Watch on the Honduran Coup and U.S. intervention in Venezuela

Sep 24 2009 7:00 pm

We will show the "recipee" used repeatedly by the CIA and US State Dept. to destabilize countries before a coup is launched, assisted, and later legitimized, and how the School of the Americas has always played a training role in this system.

We will show "The Revolution Will not be Televised," a short documentary on the April 2002, U.S.-backed coup in Venezuela, to illustrate the day by day execution of the destabilization-coup-legitimization recipee. During a closing Q/A session we will explore current similarities and connections between Honduras and Venezuela.

The "Revolution Will Not Be Televised" will also be presented as a work which inspired Oliver Stone to produce his latest documentary which places Hugo Chavez and other Latin American leadcers vilified by the US Media and State Dept. in a larger context.
