The U.S. military attack on Venezuela, in which it kidnapped President Nicolas Maduro, not only struck and destroyed the dialysis medication and equipment supply center in Caracas, vital for sustaining 9,000 people whose lives depend on kidney dialysis; five scientific centers belonging to the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC) were also hit, one of them totally destroyed.
Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine bragged on Jan. 3 that the ballyhooed “precision” of the U.S. strike was the result of U.S. intelligence mapping of the parameters for the strike on Venezuela for months, such that the U.S. knew every details, including where and what Maduro ate, wore, did, even what his pets were. Can we then be expected to believe that the attacks on IVIC and the dialysis center were “accidental,” and not planned?
The IVIC is a key part of the Dr. Humberto Fernández-Morán National University of Sciences in Caracas. Alberto Quintero, Venezuela’s Deputy Minister of Scientific Knowledge Application and the Director of IVIC reports that the attack on IVIC’s Mathematics Center “was total: these areas housed servers and equipment essential to our computer networks. Two missiles struck the area directly, leaving fragments that bear witness to imperial hatred against Venezuela’s sovereign technological development.”
