November 20, 2007 CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM Of: Michael Middleton Steere, U.S. Embassy
TO: Michael Hayden, Director Central Agency of Intelligence.
Subject: Advance of the Final stage of the Operation Pincer
Taking in consideration the previous documentary advances around the Operation Pincer that coordinate HUMINT in Venezuela according to the directive 3623-g-0217, I fulfill in informing to him for the consequent aims, of the present status of this operation, which enters its final stage according to the considered issue. In summarized form, we presented/displayed the diverse scenes emphasized in the memoradum previous, which in the last weeks acquires new developments:
Electoral Scene. As I emphasized it in the preceding report, the tendencies of intentions of vote stay. Until now the different made measurements, including ours, they give to YES an advantage between 10 and 13 points (57 % YES, 44% NON). Such percentage estimation occurs within the framework of an abstention that goes up to around 60% of the enrolled voters. Our analyses, observe that this tendency is irreversible in the short term, that is to say, in next the fifteen (15) days cannot be modified those percentage of a significant way. On the other hand, the advertising campaign promoted by the Plan and the desertions in the governmental rows (We can take Baduel, for example) has managed to lower Chávez with 6 points in his position of initial starting, as it had not happened in other campaigns, where has started off with an advantage between 15 and 20 % Nevertheless, a freezing of the waited impact can be hoped, since such tendencies touched floor. In such sense, this office recommends to execute the predicted Plan for the Operation Pincer in the case of consolidating in the next days this scene.
As it is of your knowledge we have proposed some measures, between which they are: To prevent the referendum or to not recognize its results even though is called to vote for NO. In terms of tactical orientation these hinges can give the impression of being contradictory, but for the conjunctural political moment its combination is necessary. In the days ahead we can continue fortifying the activities that aim to prevent the referendum and at the same time to prepare the conditions to not recognize the results of the same one.
In the political preparation of the non recognition of the results of the referendum, the creation has been important from the opinion matrix on a safe triumph of NO and in such sense we will continue working with the vote pools research that we have contracted.

At the same time which we maintain one maintained campaign for NO, one comes working in the critic to the CNE and its connection with a series of traps, which generates in the public opinion the fraud sensation. In that sense we have come insisting on the topics referred the inconsistency from the permanent electoral registry, where we contacted with an equipment of experts of the universities, that by its academic prestige makes a manipulation credible of the data on the part of the CNE, equal happens on the doubts on the red and the behavior of the voting machines. In this context, to flood the voting act day 2 of December is consustancial with the premise of VOTES and ABSTENTION to be able to produce an implosion that allows us to execute the directives already established in the Operation Pincer
Upon this last aspect we have agreed with allied forces to begin in the afternoon give information in the first hours of the Sunday the 2 of December, exploding preliminary soundings in the voting tables. The mounted operations requires of coordination with mass media at international level, according to the planning.

Since we have explained in another document, to handle itself in these two scene does not stop being politically dangerous, by the fracture that exists in the competing groups. In spite of our effort to unite to all the sectors, there are opinions found around some aspects of our Plan. We have made contacts and meetings with the First Justice and New Time and apparently are not going to subscribe our strategy. All the opposites of the National Commando of the Resistance and Democratic Action, with those who we come working the two options. Here it is necessary to emphasize the paper that come carrying out Esclusa Rock and Guyon Cellis according to the previous co ordinations made by Richard Nazario, with respect to scattering in all the national territory small centers of protests that generate an ungovernability climate, allowing to culminate in the general rise of a substantial part of the population. Nevertheless, I consider advisable that this operational nexus canalizes by the office to avoid complications to the embassy

2) the immediate tasks of the final stage The combination of the previous clamps or hinges (to prevent the referendum, to denounce the fraud and to take the street) for a victorious closing from our operation, demand of a sharp diplomatic effort to isolate still more Chávez in the international arena, to deal with and to obtain the unity of the opposition and to look for the alliance of the non-participants and those that vote by NO, to increase the pressure of street in the previous days to the 2 December, to maintain with firmness the propaganda against the regime, to execute the military actions of support to the mobilizations and propagandistic tasks, to culminate operational preparations of our forces quartered in bordering Base.
The support of the originating external team of the green and blue country, this coordinated, blue the naval operation of this predicted one and, the borders with green in the certain points this free one.
We immediately reviewed to the made activities to fulfil such goals: A) As far as the mobilizations of street, as it contemplates the Plan, we have managed to persuade important tie student sectors of the private education institutions so that they are gotten up organic to our initiatives to leave Chávez. In the third week of November an agreement was obtained that leads to emergent consensus that has welcomed our ideas of democracy and freedom, several meetings of work we have made, under the coordination of Scharikker Podolski of the Simón University Bolivar and Ugalde of the Catholic University Andrés Bello. These authorities have constituted a team where groups of professors participate between whom Oropeza Angel and his team of the postgraduate of Political Sciences. The meetings they have attended student leaders of several universities: Yon Goicochea of the Catholic University Andrés Bello (UCAB), Juan To Mejías of the Simón Bolivar University (USB), Douglas of the Metropolitan University, Ronel Gaglio of the University Mounts Ávila, Gabriel Rooster of the University Santa Maria.

Between these leaders there is consensus in general terms, but with some differences as far as the concrete actions for the next days. Red Flag has result flattering the position assumed by student leaders of a denominated group, formerly enemy of ours interests in the country. His leader Ricardo Sanchez, of the Central University of Venezuela, was one of which support our proposal of direct actions of street against the institutions: CNE, Supreme Court of Justice and the Palace of Miraflores. Anyway, unit has to continue working of action of these groups, since there is danger of fracture under the operational premise of the non-violence and exigencies that are contemplated in the Plan, being part of the same contradictory reality that we evaluated in the electoral scene, since in these student groups they influence so much the National Commando of the Resistance as the First Justice and in their sine the diverse partisan positions are expressed.
B) As you know, one of the objectives of the Operation Pincer is to control a territorial or institutional strip, with massive support of citizen displeasures, in a lapse contemplated between 72 and 120 hours, time considered like minimum lapse to detonate the ascending phase of the actions anticipated, where the military uprising is contemplated. In this are not it jeopardizes all the sectors, reason why we demanded a greater activity of the dedicated teams to construct our alliances. Particular importance has the contacts and meetings with the officials of the diverse components, particularly of the National Guard. Although the connection that previously the central office sent made its task, the coordination with this key force has not been easy by the dispersion of its commandos.
In this scope, as already it had been found out by our emergency message, one of the team coordinated by our operative connection was detected and part of the armament had been seized, which has generated some difficulties of security. Before the dangers of political use of the publicly well-known facts, it is necessary to prepare alibis and contra propaganda that minimize the demoralizing impact of some imputations that the government will do, due to the facts found in some cellular phones and laptops seized.
C) In the contemplated sphere of propaganda and psychological operations in the Plan in course, is where we have harvested the greater successes, to such an extent than in the last weeks we have imposed our agenda and dominated the advertising scene. The contributions of the SIP and the international agencies have been crucial. Special recognition deserves Y. Gregg ZIF, AAPP of the Embassy, by his work. And the team organized by Ravell comes rendering its fruits and requires in this last phase greater contributions.
In this last aspect I must inform him that of $8 million that were transferred almost everything they have been spent in propaganda, publicity and contributions to some of the facade organizations. In this last case, we have had difficulties with the Development INC. Alternative, since enemy intelligence has located our connection with Mr. Gerson Patete and have monitored the current account of the Mercantile Bank, Not 0105-0026-59-102636243-1. He is urgent not to continue making transference that account and to establish another channel for the financing contemplated in this phase of the Operation Pincer.

Analysis and summary:
On November 26, 2007 the Venezuelan government broadcast and circulated a confidential memo from the US embassy to the CIA which is devastatingly revealing of US clandestine operations and which will influence the referendum this Sunday (December 2, 2007).
The memo sent by an embassy official, Michael Middleton Steere, was addressed to the head of the CIA, Michael Hayden. The memo was entitled ‘Advancing to the Last Phase of Operation Pincer’ and updates the activity by a CIA unit with the acronym ‘HUMINT’ (Human Intelligence) which is engaged in clandestine action to destabilize the forth-coming referendum and coordinate the civil military overthrow of the elected Chavez government. The Embassy-CIA’s polls concede that 57% of the voters approved of the constitutional amendments proposed by Chavez but also predicted a 60% abstention.
The US operatives emphasized their capacity to recruit former Chavez supporters among the social democrats (PODEMOS) and the former Minister of Defense Baduel, claiming to have reduced the ‘yes’ vote by 6% from its original margin. Nevertheless the Embassy operatives concede that they have reached their ceiling, recognizing they cannot defeat the amendments via the electoral route.
The memo then recommends that Operation Pincer (OP) [Operación Tenaza] be operationalized. OP involves a two-pronged strategy of impeding the referendum, rejecting the outcome at the same time as calling for a ‘no’ vote. The run up to the referendum includes running phony polls, attacking electoral officials and running propaganda through the private media accusing the government of fraud and calling for a ‘no’ vote. Contradictions, the report cynically emphasizes, are of no matter.
The CIA-Embassy reports internal division and recriminations among the opponents of the amendments including several defections from their ‘umbrella group’. The key and most dangerous threats to democracy raised by the Embassy memo point to their success in mobilizing the private university students (backed by top administrators) to attack key government buildings including the Presidential Palace, Supreme Court and the National Electoral Council. The Embassy is especially praiseworthy of the ex-Maoist ‘Red Flag’ group for its violent street fighting activity. Ironically, small Trotskyist sects and their trade unionists join the ex-Maoists in opposing the constitutional amendments. The Embassy, while discarding their ‘Marxist rhetoric’, perceives their opposition as fitting in with their overall strategy.
The ultimate objective of ‘Operation Pincer’ is to seize a territorial or institutional base with the ‘massive support’ of the defeated electoral minority within three or four days (before or after the elections – is not clear. JP) backed by an uprising by oppositionist military officers principally in the National Guard. The Embassy operative concede that the military plotters have run into serous problems as key intelligence operatives were detected, stores of arms were decommissioned and several plotters are under tight surveillance.
Apart from the deep involvement of the US, the primary organization of the Venezuelan business elite (FEDECAMARAS), as well as all the major private television, radio and newspaper outlets have been engaged in a vicious fear and intimidation campaign. Food producers, wholesale and retail distributors have created artificial shortages of basic food items and have provoked large scale capital flight to sow chaos in the hopes of reaping a ‘no’ vote.
