Meet The DC Tenants’ Advocacy Group Taking A Stand… For Regime Change And War

June 4, 2019 Wyatt Reed, Thegrayzone.com Educate! Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela, Washington DC

The Embassy Protection Collective swallowed a lot of tough pills over its month-long stint to keep the Venezuelan embassy in Washington, DC out of the hands of wealthy opposition expats. But somehow this one stung more than usual. Embassy protectors had spent at least two weeks surrounded on all sides by dozens of pro-Juan Guaidó fanatics blaring airhorns, shining high powered lasers in their eyes, and physically assaulting anyone who attempted to deliver food or water to them. And then, the Trump administration had ordered PEPCO to remove power to the building.

Venezuela Is A Case Study In The Brutality Of U.S. Sanctions

June 3, 2019 By Gabe Levine-Drizin, Inthesetimes.com Educate! Latin America, Regime Change, Sanctions, US Imperialism, Venezuela

On May 8, nearly a year to the day since the U.S. pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, the Trump administration slapped a fresh round of sanctions on Iran, whose economy is already reeling. The Iran sanctions are but the most recent example of a U.S. foreign policy tool that consistently causes or exacerbates humanitarian crises. For a preview of what Iran is likely to suffer, we can look to another country currently in U.S. crosshairs: Venezuela. The devastating effects of the Trump administration’s broad economic sanctions, first imposed against Venezuela in 2017...

May 31, 2019 Staff, Telesurenglish.net Educate! Blockades, Latin America, Regime Change, Sanctions, Venezuela

While continuous and intensified sanctions against Venezuela by the United States aim to put pressure on President Nicolas Maduro’s administration they are mostly hurting the country's population, of which at least 40,000 deaths have been recorded, according to a study released by the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) in April 2019. Sanctions against Venezuela by the U.S. intensified after Jan. 23 when opposition lawmaker Juan Guaido attempted to overthrow democratically elected President Nicolas Maduro.

May 25, 2019 By John Zangas, Dcmediagroup.us Resist! Activists, Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

Washington, DC –The last four holdouts in a siege at the Venezuelan Embassy experienced one of the most difficult times of their lives, they said, but survived by talking to each other about how they were feeling and shared their love and respect for one another. The Embassy Protection Collective was formed when Venezuela’s Consulate in New York was taken over by those opposing President Nicolás Maduro. They did so with the blessing of the Trump administration, which is trying to facilitate a coup in Venezuela to topple the Maduro government and install Juan Guaidó.

US Chose ‘The Violent And Illegal Path’ Against Peace Activists, Embassy Protector Tells The Canary

May 25, 2019 John McEvoy, Thecanary.co Resist! Activists, Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

For 37 days, a group of peace activists stayed in the Venezuelan embassy in Washington to resist threats from the country’s US-backed opposition to seize the premises. By 14 May, only four activists remained inside the embassy, claiming defiantly: “we are not going to leave voluntarily”. But on 16 May, heavily armed police evicted them, breaking international law in the process. One of the final activists was Margaret Flowers – a paediatrician, social justice activist, and co-director of Popular Resistance. And she spoke exclusively to The Canary about the Embassy Protection Collective, and where the struggle goes from now.

May 24, 2019 By Alexander Rubinstein, Mintpressnews.com Educate! Food and Agriculture, Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

CARACAS, VENEZUELA — The U.S. government is preparing to levy sanctions against officials associated with Venezuela’s food subsidy program known as CLAP, the latest in a long list of unilateral coercive measures against the country. The new sanctions follow a report by the Center for Economic Policy Research, which stated that 40,000 Venezuelans have died because of sanctions imposed by the Trump administration that prevent life-saving medicines and food from getting into the country.

Venezuela – After Opposition Support ‘Deflated’ – U.S. Targets Food Aid Supply

May 24, 2019 Staff, Moonofalabama.org Educate! Aid, Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The hot-air figures the U.S. used for its regime change efforts in Venezuela failed to do their job. The New York Times declares their movement "deflated". While it still repeats propaganda claims, the report makes clear that Guaidó is lacking public support: CARACAS, Venezuela — It was a daring gambit: Juan Guaidó, Venezuela’s opposition leader, stood by a military base alongside dozens of uniformed officers and political allies, calling for a military uprising against President Nicolás Maduro.

You Don’t Hear About It But The U.S. Blockade Is Killing The Venezuelan People

May 24, 2019 Esther Yañez Illescas, Resumen-english.org Educate! Blockades, Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

Days go by and Isabella has no idea that her life depends on colored pills. She is 21 months old and speaks a language that can be understood only by those who spend endless hours with her at the Italian Hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina, deciding what color of which pill she should take now. Isabella was born with a congenital disease. Doctors were very clear from the beginning that she needs a liver transplant to live. Once diagnosed her parents, Douglas and Yelibeth right away started working on finding donors, funding, transplant, where, how and when.

Around 200 people marched and then gathered at the Venezuelan embassy in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, May 18, to show solidarity with Venezuela and the last of the embassy protectors, who had been forcibly removed from the embassy by police two days earlier.

There’s Far More Diversity In Venezuela’s ‘Muzzled’ Media Than In US Corporate Press

May 22, 2019 By Lucas Koerner AND Ricardo Vaz, Fair.org Educate! Corporate Media, Latin America, Propaganda, Regime Change, Venezuela

The international corporate media have long displayed a peculiar creativity with the facts in their Venezuela reporting, to the point that coverage of the nation’s crisis has become perhaps the world’s most lucrative fictional genre. Ciara Nugent’s recent piece for Time(4/16/19), headlined “‘Venezuelans Are Starving for Information’: The Battle to Get News in a Country in Chaos,” distinguished itself as a veritable masterpiece of this literary fad. The article’s slant should come as no surprise, given Time’s (and Nugent’s) enthusiastic endorsement (2/1/19) of the ongoing coup led by self-proclaimed “interim president” Juan Guaidó.

Nicaragua: The War Of 2018

May 22, 2019 Roger Stoll, Dissidentvoice.org Educate! Latin America, Nicaragua, Regime Change

Nearly all US regime-change wars (Venezuela, Syria, Honduras, Ukraine, Libya, Yugoslavia, etc.) are wars of deception, fabrication, propaganda, coups and false flags. Sometimes there is a direct US military assault, more often not. These wars are waged by proxies, media puppets, hired hit-men, torturers, rapists, vandals, saboteurs, death squads and criminal gangs, through mock or pretextual social protest movements, denunciations by “human rights” organizations, and by internal and external economic assaults on the country’s people, transportation, commerce and communications.

The Activists Who Defended The Venezuelan Embassy, Won

May 21, 2019 Bruno Sgarzini, Misionverdad.com Resist! Activists, Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

When Reverend Jesse Jackson, icon of the civil rights struggle in the States, delivered food to four activists at the Venezuelan embassy this Wednesday, a cold must have flowed through the back of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Every time the activists needed food or water, a public figure could be out there to give it to them and it would be much harder for the Secret Service and the anti-Chavistas to stop them. And if they did it with blows, the photo would go around the world as in fact it was happening with many of the clashes that took place outside the embassy.

Labor In Algeria’s Revolt

May 17, 2019 Rachid Malaoui, Jacobinmag.com Educate! Africa, Algeria, Class Struggle, Labor, Regime Change, Workers

Algeria is in the midst of a historic popular uprising. Protests began in February of this year, as Algerians revolted against President Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s plans for a fifth term in office. Coming to power in 1999, Bouteflika suffered a debilitating stroke in 2013, after which he made few public appearances and was widely understood to be the puppet of a clique of high-ranking military figures. Protests intensified over the course of February and March, drawing millions to the streets of the capital Algiers and elsewhere, calling on Bouteflika to stand down before presidential elections originally slated for April 18.
