Evangelists in venezuela accused of spying Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://today.reuters.com/News/newsArticle.aspx?type=worldNews&storyID=2005-10-12T221212Z_01_DIT279902_RTRUKOC_0_US-VENEZUELA-MISSIONARIES.xml http://today.reuters.com/News/newsArticle.aspx?type=worldNews&storyID=2005-10-12T221212Z_01_DIT279902_RTRUKOC_0_US-VENEZUELA-MISSIONARIES.xml Chavez kicks out US evangelists for 'spying' Wed Oct 12, 2005 6:12 PM ET By Patrick Markey CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Wednesday ordered U.S. New Tribes evangelical missions working with indigenous groups to leave the country after accusing them of "imperialist infiltration" and spying. Chavez, an ex-soldier who says his socialist revolution counters U.S. influence, briefly suspended foreign missionary permits in August after U.S. evangelist preacher Pat Robertson called on Washington to assassinate the left-wing leader. "I have given the order, the New Tribes, the so-called New Tribes, are going to leave Venezuela. This is real imperialist penetration, it makes me ashamed," Chavez said, wearing a green military uniform and red army beret. "It's real imperialist infiltration, the CIA, they are taking sensitive and strategic information," he said. "We don't want to abuse them, but simply give them a date to pack up and leave from every corner of the country." A former military paratrooper praised by supporters for championing the poor, Chavez was speaking at a ceremony in southwestern Apure State to hand over land titles, tractors and credits to help indigenous groups. The Florida-based New Tribes Mission, a Christian evangelist group that trains and coordinates missions to preach in remote areas, has 160 assigned missionaries in Venezuela working with 12 indigenous groups, according to its Website. No one answered the U.S. telephone number on the site. The announcement came just days after Robertson, a leader of the Christian conservatives who have backed U.S. President George W. Bush, again attacked Chavez, accusing him of funding Osama Bin Laden and seeking atomic material from Iran. Venezuela officials rejected the new accusations as "absurd" talk. Chavez has often charged Washington with plotting his downfall or murder. U.S. officials dismiss that as wild, populist rhetoric, but say the Venezuelan leader works with his ally Cuban President Fidel Castro to erode regional democracy. Frayed political ties and a constant barrage of angry rhetoric have not stopped Venezuela, the world's No. 5 oil exporter, from selling most of its petroleum to the United States. The deep political rift between Venezuela and the United States was underscored in August when Robertson called on U.S. officials to kill Chavez. He apologized, but not before sparking a media storm. Soon after that outburst, the Venezuelan Justice Ministry suspended authorization of good office permits for foreign missionaries while the government investigated and tightened regulations on preachers living in Venezuela.
