Venezuela will face the most important election in its history today. For
the first time, Venezuelans will vote
company executive Juan Fernandez, said: ``We're
going to have fireworks and music we're going to say Venezuela woke up
on the day of the referendum.''
With crude futures above $46 a barrel in overnight trading, oil will remain
the focus for most investors even as they derive some solace from
. The Langley spooks are pursing a high-risk
strategy for the U.S. economy -- far from being a powerless banana
republic, Venezuela currently supplies 1.4 million barrels per day of oil

CARACAS, Venezuela - Seventeen months after an antigovernment strike
crippled production, Venezuela's state oil company, Petróleos de
Venezuela, has made what analysts call a Herculean return
the AFL-CIO to fully account for what was
done in Chile, Venezuela and other countries where the AFL-CIO funneled
NED funds to opponents of the elected government. In the case of Chile,
that led to the military coup and overthrow of the democratically
elected government of Salvador Allende
Convention (CalFed).
Though many delegates had current concern about Venezuela, ³Clear the Air²
outlined an AFL-CIO role leading to the 1973 coup in Chile and, among other
things, called upon the AFL-CIO, ³to fully account for what was done in
