In 2002, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) arrived in
Venezuela with a mission: Remove Hugo Chavez from power. Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez then stood up at the UN in 2006 calling former US
President George W. Bush "the devil" for meddling in foreign affairs.
Eva Golinger has reported that USAID has been operating in Venezuela for
over eight years attempting to remove Hugo Chavez from office in
Venezuela.
