Of course audio tapes can be faked, as well as film footage.

But it seems very plausible considering what has happened in the recent past
in Venezuela and elsewhere. 

Confirmed and proven attempts at destabilization methods have been
documented for decades. 

Chile in the early 1970's is a textbook case that is very similar to what is
now happening in Venezuela.

You remember Chile don't you Roger ?  

When Kissinger and company visa the CIA installed you buddy Pinochet and his
fascist dictatorship.

and how do you know this is genuine - I have personally dealt with faked
recordings (my neighbor alleged that my daughter's best friend had
threatened to rape his wife on an alleged extremely vile answering machine
tape that he clearly fabricated - what he did not know was that the friend
was gay!) the neighbor then later figures prominently in the lies put out by
Felicity Arbuthnot when she attacked me in The Ecologist - so, I know first
hand that audios can be faked!

Opposition members detail their plans in the recording to create violent
conflicts outside Venezuelan supermarkets in order to provoke larger
conflicts.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro revealed a recording Wednesday during
his annual address to the nation
<http://telesurtv.net/english/news/Venezuela-to-Increase-Social-Spending-des
pite-Economic-Slowdown-20150121-0025.html>  that allegedly exposes a plot by
members of the right-wing opposition to sow chaos near supermarkets.

Venezuelans have faced product shortages and long lines at stores in large
part due to deliberate hoarding by companies
<http://telesurtv.net/english/news/In-Venezuela-Opposition-Linked-Firm-Hoard
s-Millions-of-Goods-20150114-0053.html> ; the opposition has deliberately
worked to take advantage of these shortages in order to cause disruptions.

In the recording, Ivan Carrratu Molina, a security official under former
Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez, and Jose de Jesus Gamez
Bustamente, a retired Venezuelan general, discuss plans to generate violence
and disorder in Venezuela. with their goal being the overthrow of the
democratically-elected national government.

In the audio recording Gamez details their plot. The opposition would bring
supporters to the lines outside supermarkets and have them break windows in
order to provoke looting by those waiting to enter. According to Gamez, this
would result in repression by the Venezuelan National Guard against
working-class people, the political base of the Bolivarian revolution.

Gamez alludes to the violent street protests organized by the opposition in
early 2014 and suggests that the same strategy would not work. Instead he
suggests that the street conflicts should happen outside of supermarkets and
not on main streets. During the three months of opposition violence early
last year, the national guard remained almost entirely peaceful, despite the
deaths, violence, lack of access to schools and hospitals, and burning of
hundreds of items of public property, including buses and institutions.
These violent protests, known in Venezuela as guarimbas, were widely
unpopular among Venezuelans, even among supporters of the opposition. Their
actions resulted in the death of 43 people, the overwhelming majority at the
hands of right-wing protesters.

Gamez also openly talked about promoting the opposition as a peaceful
movement to the world, while actually hiding a violent agenda.

In a second recording, Gamez boasts about attending the School of the
Americas, the military school run by the U.S. armed forces that has been
widely condemned by activists for training military officers from the
Americas in counterinsurgency and torture techniques. Gamez himself refers
to the institution as a "school of assassins" and boasts about being an
expert in "psychological operations." He reiterates that the goal of the
opposition is the ouster of the government.

The president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Diosdado Cabello,
denounced a plot last week
<http://telesurtv.net/english/news/More-Evidence-of-Destabilization-Plots-Re
vealed-in-Venezuela-20150115-0016.html>  where he alleged that members of
the right-wing opposition Popular Will party intend to hire mercenaries to
stir up conflict outside supermarkets in the country.

Audio of the recording can be heard below (in Spanish):
