Further to last night’s (now amended)
piece<http://www.sabinabecker.com/2013/04/dear-reuters-is-this-enough-proof-for-you.html>
on
how badly Reuters gets Venezuela wrong, it looks like the Associated Press
(or *Dissociated* Press, as I prefer to call them) is no better. Aporrea
columnist Ivana Cardinale takes them to
task:<http://www.aporrea.org/tiburon/a164580.html>

*Miguel Rodríguez Torres, the new minister of Interior Relations and
Justice, informed the country on Thursday morning of the capture of a US
citizen named Timothy Hallett Tracy.*
*

According to the minister, Tracy is linked to a right-wing conspiracy
against Venezuela, and its objective was to lead us into a civil war and so
provoke immediate intervention on the part of a foreign power. He added
that he has documents and videos as proof.

The US daily, The Washington Post, immediately published an article from
the Associated Press agency, which should really be called the Associated
Pentagon, since many of us know that it is the propaganda arm of the
Pentagon. In it, the family of the detainee says that he is an “innocent
filmmaker”, who is in Venezuela to make a documentary.

According to the detainee’s father, his son is a graduate of Georgetown
University, who majored in English, and has been “filming” for the past
year in Venezuela.

The AP article indicates that the gringo detainee made a documentary in
2009 called “American Harmony”, and another documentary, recently filmed,
called “Under Siege”, for the Discovery Channel. Both documentaries were
directed and produced by one Aengus James, not Timothy Tracy. Once more, AP
lies. The name of Timothy Hallett Tracy appears nowhere on the Internet in
connection to the filming of one or both of the documentaries.

I searched the Internet for information on him, and the only thing that
appeared was his detention in Venezuela. As for the rest, no information on
Tracy anywhere. Nothing on documentaries or films by this US citizen. If he
is a filmmaker, as they say, there would be information on the Web over his
work, and as I said, it does not exist.

The strange thing is that “Under Siege” was broadcast in the US one month
ago, in March, by the Discovery Channel. If we take AP at its word that
Timothy Hallett Tracy filmed that documentary, how could Tracy, who
according to his father, has been filming in Venezuela for the past year,
be making films in two different countries at the same time?

These little details betray an intent to conceal. It is evident that this
is a CIA operation in Venezuela which uses the AP news agency to publish
false information over Tracy, claiming him to be producer and director of
two documentaries which in reality were made by Aengus James.
*

*500 videos were seized in the raid. The AP agency says that Tracy was
detained twice in Venezuela before April 14 and let go. What AP doesn’t say
is that Timothy Hallett Tracy belongs to an intelligence agency, has been
trained in these matters, received foreign financing, which was later
passed on to young Venezuelans hungry for dollars, who came from the
extreme right wing, with the objective to generate violent incidents and
provoke a civil war.*

Translation mine.

BTW, I looked up Aengus James. He is a real person, and he is a real
filmmaker. He’s on Twitter. <https://twitter.com/aengusjames> Here’s an
interview<http://theindependentcritic.com/aengus_james_interview__director_of__american_harmony__>
he
gave about his film,*American Harmony*, which is a documentary on
barbershop quartets. He doesn’t look much like Tim Tracy. If I had to guess
at his politics, from his tweets (which reference Paul Krugman), I would
say he’s a liberal Democrat — hardly the sort of guy who’d want to hang out
with a bunch of overt fascists like JAVU. His work doesn’t sound like the
sort of thing that would inspire the CIA to tap him as a front man for one
of their operations, either. And I don’t think he’d be at all impressed to
hear that his films have been attributed by an agency as big and prominent
as the AP to this Tim Tracy guy.

So, AP, what the hell is your explanation for all this? And please, make it
a good one. I can hardly wait to hear how you got these two guys so badly
mixed up.
