President Chávez: Exxon Mobil is the Spearhead of Imperialism
February 13, 2008
He also denounced his country is facing an economic conspiracy and militaries together with the Bolivarian Government are obliged to act for the homeland security.
The President emphasized some oil companies belong to the US empire “earn thousands and thousands of dollars every day. They exploit Africa, steal Africa. They are still stealing Latin America, they are stealing the world like they use to do it here, but they will never do it again. They will have to kill us. Bandits of the Exxon Mobile, they are a punch of imperialist bandits, thieves, government corruptors, government plotters. You supported the invasion in Iraq, the bombings, and you are still supporting genocide in Iraq. Those are companies like Exxon Mobil, bandits, bandits of the world, world mafias.”
The Venezuelan head of state considered this is the spearhead company of imperialism.
Regarding this issue he also commented that some analysis have revealed this is only the tip of the iceberg, and that the rest of the companies pretend to attack Venezuela. President Chávez also warned the US imperialism to “continue, and you will see that we won’t send one drop of oil to the empire of the United States.” He added he already instructed the Minister of Popular Power for Energy and Oil, Rafael Ramírez.
“Until know they are threatening us, a court there that has nothing to do with us. They think they are the owners of the world, so a court orders freezing I don’t know what. Ah! Well, it’s okay, if you end up freezing (Venezuelan assets) and it harms us, were going to harm you. You know how? We are not going to send oil to the United States. Take note, Mr. Bush, Mr. Danger.”
Following his speech about this issue, he sent a clear message: “If the economic war continues against Venezuela, the oil prices will surge to 200 dollars and Venezuela will get into the economic war. And more than a country is prepared to accompany you in the economic war, you are not going to afraid us, you are not going to dissuade us,” he concluded.
