"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has urged soldiers to prepare for a guerrilla-style war against the United States... Dressed in olive green fatigues and a red beret, Chavez spoke yesterday inside Tiuna Fort, Venezuela's military nerve-centre, before hundreds of uniformed soldiers standing alongside armoured vehicles and tanks decorated with banners reading: Fatherland, Socialism, or Death! We will triumph!

"It's not just armed warfare", said Chavez, a former army officer who is leading what he calls the Bolivarian Revolution, a socialist movement named after 19th-century independence hero Simon Bolivar. "I'm also referring to psychological warfare, media warfare, political warfare, economic warfare." Under Chavez, Venezuela has recently purchased some 3 billion dollars worth of arms from Russia, including 53 military helicopters, 100,000 Kalashnikov rifles, 24 SU-30 Sukhoi fighter jets."

Note that Simon Bolivar was a Mason, and Chavez himself served under Gen. Victor Higuera, former Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Venezuela. Perhaps the so-called "Bolivarian revolution" is yet another example of Ordo ab Chao.
