When Chavez wins impressively, expect fraud charges to follow. Pre-planned street demonstrations may turn violent. On October 1, Venezuela Analysis headlined "Opposition Discusses 'Plans' With Foreign Diplomats," saying:

Investigative journalist Jose Vicente Rangel "warned of back room opposition attempts to prevent another (Chavez) win-- He cited private meetings attended by opposition coalition Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) members.

He warned about inflated scoundrel media expectations for Capriles winning on Sunday. MUD strategists plan violence. Their "Rapid Reaction Plan" explains it. Chavez campaign coordinator Jorge Rodriguez revealed it.

On September 23, Rangel warned on national television about "suspicious opposition positioning in the final weeks of the" campaign. 

He mentioned a September 12 meeting. Opposition members attended. They tried convincing foreign diplomats that "Capriles is set to win"."

During discussions, "total lack of confidence in the National Elections Council (CNE)" was expressed. Preparations are set "to take to the streets, using both motorcyclists and civilian groups to combat the Chavistas."

Opposition dailies El Universal and Noticias 24 reported the meeting. They suppressed its real intent. 

Sumate represents reactionary right-wing interests. Washington generously funds it. In May 2005, its co-founder, Maria Corina Machado, met George Bush in the White House Oval Office. It's believed its former director Alejandro Plaz prepared the "Rapid Reaction Plan."

It involves seizing strategic sites. They include "national and regional freeways, major avenues, emblematic plazas, Governors' and Mayors' offices, (key) non-civilian points - meaning military installations - news media offices, ports, and airports."
