(乌有编译)：据今日俄罗斯报道，前美驻委内瑞拉大使布朗·菲尔德曾专门为美国南方司令部撰写一份全面渗透和颠覆查韦斯政权的电报，这份电报被维基解密揭露。这份报告涉及自2004年以来，美在委内瑞拉的五个核心目标，包括“渗透入查韦斯的政治基础”、“分裂查韦斯主义”、“保护美国重要商业利益”和“在国际上孤立查韦斯”等。
美驻委内瑞拉大使馆，美国国际开发署(USAID )和转型首创办公室( OTI )参与了实现这些目标的一系列活动。而USAID 和 OTI 的大部分活动是为帮助大使实现渗透查韦斯政府和使查韦斯政党顺从美国的目标。这两个机构主要从事组织民间团体，他们认为组织民间团体对于实现民主越来越重要，并且查韦斯未能够全面控制这些民间团体。
总的说来，USAID大概花费了一百万美元，组织了3000个论坛，试图从根本上调和查韦斯的支持者和反对派，以此达到渐渐脱离“玻利瓦尔”左派组织。布朗·菲尔德还一度赞扬“民主在我们中间”的OTI公民教育计划。这项计划试图通过在低收入地区设立NGO来实现，目前已覆盖了60万的委内瑞拉民众。在2004到2006年间，USAID向300多个组织大约捐赠了1500万美元，并且通过OTI提供技术支持以加强民主体制。另外USAID还资助积极分子和反对派成员参加国外会议，宣扬对查韦斯政府的不满。
New WikiLeaks cable reveals US embassy strategy to destabilize Chavez government

In a secret US cable published online by WikiLeaks, former ambassador to Venezuela, William Brownfield, outlines a comprehensive plan to infiltrate and destabilize former President Hugo Chavez' government.
Dispatched in November of 2006 by Brownfield -- now an Assistant Secretary of State -- the document outlined his embassy’s five core objectives in Venezuela since 2004, which included: “penetrating Chavez’ political base,” “dividing Chavismo,” “protecting vital US business” and “isolating Chavez internationally.”
The memo, which appears to be totally un-redacted, is plain in its language of involvement in these core objectives by the US embassy, as well as the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI), two of the most prestigious agencies working abroad on behalf of the US.
According to Brownfield, who prepared the cable specifically for US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), the “majority” of both USAID and OTI activities in Venezuela were concerned with assisting the embassy in accomplishing its core objectives of infiltrating and subduing Chavez’ political party:
“This strategic objective represents the majority of USAID/OTI work in Venezuela. Organized civil society is an increasingly important pillar of democracy, one where President Chavez has not yet been able to assert full control.”
In total, USAID spent some one million dollars in organizing 3,000 forums that sought to essentially reconcile Chavez supporters and the political opposition, in the hopes of slowly weaning them away from the Bolivarian side.
Brownfield at one point boasted of an OTI civic education program named “Democracy Among Us,” which sought to work through NGOs in low income regions, and had allegedly reached over 600,000 Venezuelans.
In total, between 2004 and 2006, USAID donated some 15 million dollars to over 300 organizations, and offered technical support via OTI in achieving US objectives which it categorized as seeking to reinforce democratic institutions.
Much of the memo details efforts to highlight instances of human rights violations, and sponsoring activists and members of the political opposition to attend meetings abroad and voice their concerns against the Chavez administration:
“So far, OTI has sent Venezuelan NGO leaders to Turkey, Scotland, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Chile, Uruguay, Washington and Argentina (twice) to talk about the law. Upcoming visits are planned to Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia.”
In his closing comments, Brownfield remarked that, should President Chavez win re-election during the December 2006 elections, OTI expected the “atmosphere for our work in Venezuela” to become more complicated.
Ultimately, it seems that the former ambassador’s memo wisely predicted a change in conditions. Following his re-election, President Chavez threatened to eject the US ambassador from Venezuela in 2007, amid accusations of interfering in internal state affairs.
