Interviews from Quito - Norwegian Journalist Eirik Vold on Wikileaks
May 17, 2015 "Information
Clearing House" - "Telesur"
- TeleSUR's Gregory Wilpert interviews Norwegian author and investigative
journalist Eirik Vold. The author of a biography of Venezuelan leader Hugo
Chavez that will be available in English in a few months, Vold has been
investigating the Wikileaks cables, particularly as regards destabilization
efforts by Washington directed against progressive governments in Latin America,
particularly Venezuela and Ecuador.
Vold discusses what he has uncovered in these secret government documents, in
the very words of the U.S. diplomats involved. In thousands upon thousands of
secret cables, these U.S. government officials honesty and candidly describe
their attempts to topple democratically elected governments in the region. Far
from the official rhetoric publicly employed by Washington, these cables show
how U.S. diplomats really assessed the situation in Latin America, the role and
importance of Hugo Chavez, and the part played by the local mass media and NGOs.
