Trump Attempts To ‘Close’ Venezuela’s Airspace With Imaginary Decree

November 30, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
In a bizarre social media post on Saturday, November 29, US President Donald Trump issued a warning amid escalating military action and pressure on Venezuela and President Nicolás Maduro: “To all airlines, pilots, drug dealers and human traffickers, please consider the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed in its entirety.” This unprecedented attempt at an air blockade is another step in the escalating aggression that Washington is carrying out against Venezuela. However, experts in international law emphasize that Trump does not have the authority to close the airspace of another sovereign country, as that power belongs solely to the state that exercises sovereignty over its territory or to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

How To Topple Elliot Abrams’ Delusion

November 26, 2025 Michelle Ellner, Scheer Post. , , ,
Elliott Abrams has resurfaced with familiar instructions on how to “fix” Venezuela, a country he neither understands nor respects, yet feels entitled to rearrange like a piece of furniture in Washington’s living room. His new proposal is drenched in the same Cold War fever and colonial mindset that shaped his work in the 1980s, when U.S. foreign policy turned Central America into a graveyard. My childhood in Venezuela was shaped by stories from our region that the world rarely sees: stories of displacement, of death squads, of villages erased from maps, of governments toppled for daring to act outside Washington’s orbit.

Anti-Government Protests In Mexico Exposed As Destabilization Plot

November 24, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , ,
A right-wing, billionaire-backed and violent demonstration was held in Mexico City on November 15 against President Claudia Sheinbaum. Corporate media in the United States portrayed the protests as Gen Z taking a stand against corruption, but the march had all the makings of a US-backed destabilization effort. Clearing the FOG speaks with Jose Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth, co-hosts of the public TV program Sin Muros and the podcast Soberania, about the protests, who is behind them, the achievements of the Fourth Transformation and the risks of US aggression in the region.

Venezuela Launches Simón Bolívar International Brigades

October 28, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
On Friday, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro announced that Venezuela will form an international volunteer brigade to confront any US intervention or aggression. The statement was made during a meeting of the World Anti-Imperialist Platform. “We have received proposals from all over Latin America and the Caribbean, from Asia, Africa, and from many other places. I have seen videos on social media from many people, social leaders, saying that they too are getting ready,” Maduro said. He added that the international brigades, comprised of “men and women of the world,” would defend Venezuela’s sovereignty. President Maduro added that Washington is unleashing “a new eternal war,” commenting on the controversial US deployment and aggressions in the Caribbean Sea, with 10 strikes on small boats that have already killed 43 civilians in actions labeled as extrajudicial killings by international experts.

When Machado Wins The Nobel Peace Prize, ‘Peace’ Has Lost Its Meaning

October 10, 2025 Michelle Ellner, CODEPINK. , , ,
When I saw the headline Maria Corina Machado wins the Peace Prize, I almost laughed at the absurdity. But I didn’t, because there’s nothing funny about rewarding someone whose politics have brought so much suffering. Anyone who knows what she stands for knows there’s nothing remotely peaceful about her politics. If this is what counts as “peace” in 2025, then the prize itself has lost every ounce of credibility. I’m Venezuelan-American, and I know exactly what Machado represents. She’s the smiling face of Washington’s regime-change machine, the polished spokesperson for sanctions, privatization, and foreign intervention dressed up as democracy. Machado’s politics are steeped in violence. 

‘We’re Very Concerned About What The US Is Doing Around Venezuela’

September 29, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , ,
Russia is deeply concerned about what the US is doing around Venezuelan waters, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference on Saturday. “We are certainly very alarmed by what the US has organized now in what are currently international waters, but near Venezuelan territorial waters,” Lavrov said. The foreign minister specified that he spoke with his Venezuelan counterpart, Yván Gil, about the matter the previous day. “The situation is truly serious, because there are significant armed and naval forces there, including a nuclear submarine, and there are direct threats of military intervention to destroy ‘drug cartels’ and wage war on drug trafficking in general,” Lavrov said in reference to the new euphemisms used by the White House to legitimize a military action aiming at regime change in Venezuela.

Trump Announces Second Summary Execution Of Venezuelans

September 17, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
US President Donald Trump announced on his social media platform, Truth Social, Monday, a second “kinetic strike” against a stalled small boat allegedly carrying illegal drugs from Venezuela. In the announcement, the US ruler acknowledged the summary execution of three unidentified male Venezuelan civilians. The statement coincided with the release of an extremely blurry video by the US secretary of war. The video shows a stalled boat displaying no signs of violence before being obliterated by an explosion. The video lacked the visual sharpness and information about the date or location necessary for a fair analysis of the incident, similar to the video from a first execution reported on September 2.

Syrian Forces Evict Alawites From Damascus Neighborhood En Masse

September 15, 2025 Jason Ditz, Antiwar.com. , , , ,
Continuing the purge of Syria’s Alawite minority that began with large scale massacres back in March, Interior Ministry security forces have almost entirely depopulated the metro Damascus neighborhood of al-Somaria, which was up until the raids, an Alawite majority area. The raids began in late August, with security forces led by an Interior Ministry commander known as Abu Hudhayfah entering al-Somaria with guns and eviction orders. They went door to door and informed Alawite locals that they were living there illegally and demanded they prove otherwise. Those who couldn’t immediately document the ownership had their homes spray-painted with O’s, meaning they had to leave within 48 hours.

US Forces Destroy Small ‘Venezuelan’ Boat Allegedly Carrying Drugs

September 3, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , ,
President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that US troops deployed to the Caribbean attacked and destroyed a “drug ship” that had left Venezuela. “Just a few minutes ago, literally, we shot down a vessel that was carrying drugs, a large amount of drugs. You’ll see it and read about it. It just happened moments ago,” the US president said at a press conference in the Oval Office. He said he had just been briefed on the matter by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Daniel “Razin” Caine. “We have a lot of drugs coming into our country, coming in for a long time, and they just came out of Venezuela… A lot of things are coming out of Venezuela, so we got rid of them,” Trump said.

Understanding The Plot To Break Ghana And Destroy The AES Countries

August 13, 2025 Edzorna Francis Mensah, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , , ,
There’s a storm brewing over Ghana, and it didn’t start yesterday. The tragedy is layered, the signs are familiar, and for those who have lived through history’s brutal cycles of foreign meddling and orchestrated collapse, it’s déjà vu all over again. Since President John D. Mahama came to power, Ghana has been quietly strengthening ties with Sahel countries, especially Burkina Faso and Mali, who have rejected French and American military presence and charted new Pan-African courses. The AES alliance threatens Western hegemony. It signals a post-FRANCOPHONE, post-NATO Africa. Ghana’s collaboration with these countries raised alarm bells in London, Paris, and Washington.

Syria: Nearly 10,000 Killed Since West-Friendly Militants Seized Power

August 9, 2025 Press TV, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
The SOHR reported on Thursday that “due to ongoing violence by local and foreign militants,” at least 9,889 people had been killed since 8 December 2024, the day Damascus fell under the controversial rule of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militant group. The SORH said that 7,449 civilians were among the victims, including 396 children and 541 women. It also stressed that there has been no accountability for killings carried out by members of HTS-affiliated armed factions. This is while “in some cases, perpetrators are being covered up and facts are being distorted.”

US, UK In Secret Talks With Ukrainian Officials To ‘Replace Zelensky’

July 30, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has revealed that US and British officials recently held a meeting in the Alps with top Ukrainian officials to discuss “replacing” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to a statement made available to TASS, the meeting involved Andrey Yermak, head of the Ukrainian president’s office, Kirill Budanov, chief of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Directorate of Intelligence, and Valery Zaluzhny, the country’s ex-commander-in-chief who is now Ukraine’s ambassador to London.. "The Americans and the British announced their decision to propose Zaluzhny to the Ukrainian presidency.

New Syrian Government Shifts To ‘Religious Sheikhs’

July 4, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Syria is currently being ruled by a system of religious clerics and figures – or sheikhs – rather than by the official bureaucracy of the state, sources speaking with The Cradle on 3 July revealed. Syria has been divided into regions and sub-regions ruled by extremist Sunni Muslim religious leaders who exert control over virtually every aspect of decision-making, including negotiations with Israel regarding the fate of the occupied Golan Heights, the sources explained. In the Syrian areas now fully controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), no transaction or service of the state is performed without the help of sheikhs, including the distribution of gas, flour, electricity, security at checkpoints, local disputes over real estate and land, and even legal disputes.

The Strategic Fallout Of The Israel-Iran War

June 28, 2025 Ramzy Baroud, Consortium News. , , , ,
On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a truce between Israel and Iran following nearly two weeks of open warfare. Israel began the war, launching a surprise offensive on June 13, with airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, missile installations, and senior military and scientific personnel, in addition to numerous civilian targets. In response, Iran launched a wave of ballistic missiles and drones deep into Israeli territory, triggering air raid sirens across Tel Aviv, Haifa and Beersheba and numerous other locations, causing unprecedented destruction in the country. What began as a bilateral escalation quickly spiraled into something far more consequential: a direct confrontation between the United States and Iran.

The Latest Chapter In The US Plunder Of CITGO

June 22, 2025 Misión Verdad, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , , , ,
The auction of CITGO Petroleum, a key subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) in the United States and illegally seized by the US government, is in its final stages, marking a crucial moment not only for Venezuela but also for other countries with investments in the US. According to recent reports, the judicial process, which will culminate in the illegal sale of Citgo, is continuing despite protests from President Nicolás Maduro’s government. The company, which owns strategic refineries in Texas, Louisiana, and Illinois, represents Venezuela’s most valuable asset outside its borders, with a significant pipeline network and more than 4,000 gas stations in the United States.
