From Exxon To “Ambassador”: How Carlos Vecchio Became Venezuela’s Top Coup Lobbyist

May 24th was a day of hard-earned celebration for Carlos Vecchio, the man tasked with leading the Trump administration’s coup attempt in Venezuela from the US capital. His face was largely obscured in the grainy Twitter video of the moment he and his gaggle leaned out of a third-story window and hoisted a brand new flag onto Venezuela’s former diplomatic mission in Washington DC, but Vecchio was clearly beaming as a small crowd of supporters cheered from below.

How The Coup In Venezuela And The US Housing Crisis Are Inextricably Connected

June 19, 2019 By Ajoke Williams and Kei Pritsker, Mintpressnews.com Educate! coup, Housing, Regime Change, Venezuela

The United States economy is organized such that all commodities, including both weapons and housing, drive the lion’s share of profits upward, into the pockets of a wealthy elite class, at the expense of the masses of working people who generate those profits through their labor power. The functioning of this system in the interest of a tiny few at the expense of the many is made equally apparent by the orchestration of war against Venezuela by the U.S. ruling class and the orchestration of a massive housing crisis within U.S. borders by wealthy developers.

The Real Owner Of The House That Lula Is Accused Of Owning Is Selling It

June 2, 2019 Staff, Resumen Educate! Brazil, coup, Lula da Silva

The fact that a court has approved the sale of a property they claimed belonged to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in Atibaia municipality, Sao Paulo, as part of a payment for alleged political favors, refutes the accusations against the Brazilian ex-president. The Federal Public Ministry approved the sale request made by entrepreneur Fernando Bittar, the actual owner of the property. The action strengthens the arguments submitted by the lawyers of the former president, who argued that he has no relation with that house. The process against Lula, “without evidence and without crime, has resulted in a legal anomaly.”

The American People Are The True Victims Of Our Latest Coup

May 30, 2019 By Eleanor Goldfield, Mintpressnews.com Educate! coup, Latin America, US Imperialism, Venezuela

There’s an office that you go to overthrow a government. CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou stands in front of a packed house in the Chavez Room at the Venezuelan Embassy. A mural of Hugo Chavez looks on from the back wall. Bookcases stand empty, a fitting sign of the bumbling idiocy of empire. The lobby has been converted into a makeshift gallery: images of Maduro and Chavez flank the unused metal detector and security desk. Two dry-erase boards announce to passersby in English and Spanish that “This Embassy Belongs to the Elected Government of Venezuela.”

Failed Coup In Venezuela Intensifies Battle At Embassy

May 7, 2019 Staff, Blackallianceforpeace.com Resist! coup, Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

Yet a battle rages at the Venezuelan embassy in Washington, D.C., where activists living inside at the invitation of the Maduro government have been under siege. They have been assaulted by blaring bullhorns, sirens, strobe lights, and a violent opposition that has been drilling holes into the building and attempting to knock down the embassy door. The opposition also reared its racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQIA+ head, with its members spewing slurs at activists and journalists, and stalking a journalist. All this while the Secret Service and the Metropolitan Police Department have looked away and arrested more embassy activists than opposition members.

“If This Isn’t An ‘Armed Coup,’ Then What The Hell Is?” US Denounced For Backing Attempted Overthrow In Venezuela

May 1, 2019 By Jake Johnson, Commondreams.org Educate! coup, Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

"Who are the punks? Who are the bullies? Let me say their names... Donald Trump. Mike Pence. John Bolton. Mike Pompeo. Elliott Abrams. Marco Rubio." As the Trump administration enthusiastically endorsed the so-called "military uprising" led by Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido but refused to call it a coup attempt, progressive critics and anti-war voices made clear that is precisely what took place Tuesday as violent clashes erupted throughout the Latin American nation.

Venezuela Is An Epoch Struggle For The Future

April 30, 2019 Gerry Condon, Popular Resistance. Educate! coup, US Imperialism, Venezuela

I am watching the cable news coverage of the latest escalation of the U.S.-orchestrated attempted coup in Venezuela. And I am disgusted. As far as I can tell from checking out a broader variety of news sources, the violent protests called by self-proclaimed president Juan Guaido are relatively small and pathetic. A more robust war is being waged, however, on the cable networks themselves. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tells CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that “we only care about the welfare of the Venezuelan people.” Which makes Venezuela pretty darn special. Since when do Trump, Pence, Bolton, Pompeo, Abrams and Rubio care about anybody but the billionaires whom they serve?

Activists Stay In Venezuelan Embassy 24/7 To Protect It

On March 18, opposition leader Juan Guaido's people took over the Venezuelan consulate in New York City and the military attaché office in Washington, DC. They announced they will take over the Venezuelan embassy in Washington, DC next. Activists, with permission of the legitimate Venezuelan government, have been staying at the embassy 24/7 for over two weeks now to protect it from opposition people entering. They may attempt to do so as soon as April 25. The US is setting a new precedent by failing a coup attempt but pretending it succeeded and turning assets over to the opposition anyway. We speak with Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODE PINK, who is staying with us in the embassy.

Activists Protect DC Venezuelan Embassy From US-Supported Coup

An extraordinary chapter in the ongoing saga of Venezuela has been taking place, virtually unnoticed, at the Venezuela Embassy that lies in the heart of swanky Georgetown in Washington DC. A group initiated by CODEPINK and Popular Resistance, all activists opposed to the prospect of the Venezuelan opposition taking over the Embassy, have been living inside the building for the past two weeks, working side-by-side with the skeletal Venezuela diplomatic staff that has been told by the State Department that they must leave by April 24.

New York Times Laments Stalled Venezuelan Coup

It is now over two-and-a-half months since Juan Guaidó, a barely known figure in the right-wing, US-funded Voluntad Popular party, proclaimed himself the “interim president” of Venezuela and was immediately recognized by Washington as the “legitimate” head of the country’s government. A month later, Washington, working with the right-wing government of Colombia and the US-backed right-wing Venezuelan opposition, attempted to stage a cynical provocation, sending trucks, supposedly loaded with US-supplied aid, in an attempt to crash the Venezuelan-Colombian border.

How Venezuelans Are Holding Their Own Against US Imperialism

March 28, 2019 Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese, Clearing the FOG. Podcast coup, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The United States and its allies are waging a long term battle for Venezuela's abundant resources, which include oil, gas, gold, diamonds and minerals. The Venezuelan government, through the Bolivarian Process, is trying to use those resources to meet the needs of its people for housing, education, health care, food and more. We speak with Paul Dobson, a resident of Venezuela and journalist, about how Venezuelans are organized to resist the escalating attacks by the US and its allies and how US efforts are backfiring by consolidating support for the democratically-elected President, Nicolás Maduro.

From “Humanitarian Aid” To A Nationwide Blackout: What’s Next For Trump’s Coup In Venezuela?

March 12, 2019 Jorge Martin, Marxist.com Educate! coup, Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The failure of the 23 February “humanitarian aid” provocation on the Venezuelan border was a serious blow for Trump’s ongoing coup attempt. There were mutual recriminations between self-appointed Guaidó, Colombian president Duque and US Vice-President Pence. The US could not get a consensus from its own Lima Cartel allies in favour of military intervention. The coup was losing momentum. Then, on 7 March, just days after Guaidó’s anti-climactic return to Caracas, the country was plunged into a nationwide blackout from which it has not yet fully recovered. What caused it? How is it related to the “regime change” attempt? And, most importantly, what are imperialism’s plans and how can they be fought?

Venezuela ‘The Coup Is Over’

JORGE ARREAZA, Foreign Minister of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, is a serious man. He carries in his pocket the Venezuelan Constitution and the Charter of the United Nations and brandishes both with confidence. Neither Venezuelan law nor international law, he says, allow for the replacement of Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro by Juan Guaido, the head of the National Assembly. When Guaido declared himself the President on January 23, he was participating, according to Arreaza, in a coup produced and directed by the United States and its allies.
