Roger Noriega, presently the country’s permanent representative to the Organization of American States, is having his confirmation hearing today to be Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemispheric Affairs, before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Nobody believes Noriega’s and the US State Department’s lies, because they are trial balloons, the first phase of a project to destabilize the revolutionary, spontaneous, and peaceful process that has crossed Venezuela’s borders and is extending throughout the continent and the Caribbean, to make Bolivar’s ideals a reality.
