| | Coup d'état - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 2002: Unsuccessful coup to overthrow Hugo Chávez in Venezuela | | | In 2002 the United States allegedly supported a coup in Venezuela against President Hugo Chávez, despite Chávez having been elected by popular vote in two consecutive elections. | | | An example is Alberto Fujimori in Peru, who was democratically elected, but later took control of the legislative and judicial powers, or the coup of French President Louis Napoléon Bonaparte in 1851 against the powerful National Assembly. |

Currently, Luttwak is senior fellow of "Preventive Diplomacy" at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think-tank with close ties to US intelligence. | | | Jack Kemp, Dole's running-mate in 1996, flat-out called Florida Supreme Court rulings that ordered the votes should be counted a "judicial coup d'etat." The theme was soon echoed in a chorus that included Paul Gigot of the Wall Street Journal, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and other right-wing propagandists. | | | During the presidential election, the key pivot points proved to be quite limited in number, not to mention patently obvious. |

| | While the White House did not publicy support the ouster of Chávez, it suggested the president was partly to blame for his fate and dispatched US Ambassador Charles Shapiro to meet with Venezuela's interim president, Pedro Carmona, shortly after the coup. | | | The White House has never concealed its dislike of Chávez, a former paratrooper who himself led an unsuccessful coup in 1992 only to capture the presidency as a populist candidate six years later. | | | Although Chávez has preached reconciliation since his return to power, many of his staunchest supporters claim the coup simply confirmed their belief that the country's wealthy business leaders are in league with the US to prevent the president from pursuing his populist agenda. |

| | COUP creates, organizes and executes many of the annual social events that are synonymous with the social culture at the University of Chicago. | | | The Council on University Programming is a group that is mandated to provide large-scale, engaging and entertaining events to the entire University community (all events are free to UofC students, staff and alumni). | | | While all board positions are currently filled, there is still the opportunity to sign up as a volunteer for COUP events (which of course gets you a higher chance of becoming a board member next year). |

| | Chinese hand behind Nepal coup |
| | Also at China’s behest, King Gyanendra put a proposal to hastily open the trade routes between Lhasa and Kathmandu, and rejected Deuba’s suggestion to consult India beforehand, saying he was the head of state, but again, the Nepal cabinet opposed him. | | | The Chinese were apparently putting pressure on Nepal to open trade and transit routes between Lhasa and Kathmandu, and to evict the followers of the Dalai Lama and shut down his missions. | | | Now, after assuming absolute powers through the coup, the king said last night that the trade routes with China would be opened by May, and that Nepal would join the China, Tibet confederation of chambers of commerce. |
