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.

April 12, 2019 Marjorie Cohn, Truthdig.com Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The United States is taking illegal and dangerous actions to execute regime change in Venezuela. In January, Juan Guaidó declared himself “interim president,” in a strategy orchestrated by the United States to seize power from President Nicolás Maduro. In March, Guaidó announced that “Operation Freedom,” an organization established to overthrow the Maduro government, would take certain “tactical actions” beginning on April 6. Part of the plan anticipates that the Venezuelan military will turn against Maduro.

U.S Admits It Cannot Attack Venezuela – CONFIRMED S-300 Anti-Air Systems

WASHINGTON – Mar 29, 2019 @ 21:20 – The U.S State Department special operator for Venezuela, Elliot Abrams, has revealed that Venezuela is already in possession numerous highly effective S-300 (Antey 2500 version) systems. This makes a military campaign against Venezuela highly unlikely, given the high-importance of air-cover for any boots on the ground, and the high effectiveness of the S-300 system. It also explains the decision of OAS member states Columbia and Brazil not to resort to military intervention against the Bolivarian Republic...

Venezuela is home to the largest oil deposits in the world, which makes the political stakes involved much higher than they would be otherwise.

Tensions over Venezuela won’t escalate into a new Caribbean Crisis or turn the country into “a second Syria,” Russia’s FM Sergey Lavrov has assured, bashing the US for treating the Western Hemisphere as its backyard. “We don’t accept the methods, with which the US is trying to improve the life of the Venezuelan people,” Lavrov said in an interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper.

More than 60 days have passed since Juan Guaidó proclaimed himself interim president of Venezuela in a public square in the city of Caracas.

Why Is Maduro’s Presidency Unlawful?

April 2, 2019 Pasqualina Curcio, Redangostura.org.ve Educate! Electoral Politics, Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

Has this question ever been made by those who try and convince us that Nicolas Maduro is a dictator, a usurper and that his 2019-2025 term as president is unlawful? Or are they just repeating what someone else is saying? The 12 countries gathered in the Lima Group started to make this opinion a trend. They issued a statement that reads: “…the electoral process carried out in Venezuela on May 20, 2018 is unlawful since not all Venezuelan political actors participated in it, independent international observers were not present and it did not have the necessary international guarantees and standards to be a free, fair and transparent process.”

April 1, 2019 Eva Bartlett, Informationclearinghouse.info Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

March 30, 2019 "Information Clearing House" - Venezuela is America's current target for mass destabilization in the hope of installing a puppet government. America has for years been waging an economic war against Venezuela, including debilitating sanctions which have dramatically affected the state's ability to purchase medicines, and even mundane replacement parts needed in buses, ambulances, etc. Alongside the economic war there has been a steady propaganda war, but in recent months, the propaganda has escalated dramatically, from corporate media to US political figures.

While online audiences know YouTube comedian Joanna Hausmann from her videos making the case for regime change, her economist father has flown below the radar. His record holds the key to understanding what the U.S. wants in Venezuela. If you’ve followed Venezuela-related news on social media, you’ve undoubtedly stumbled across a video released by comedian Joanna Hausmann in which she promises to tell you, “What’s Happening in Venezuela: Just the Facts.” Despite a title designed to instill confidence in the uninformed viewer, upon closer examination the “facts” presented in Hausman’s video hardly stand the test of reality.

Venezuela: Peace Is Possible

March 28, 2019 Staff, Dsheavfp72.wordpress.com Resist! Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

I arrived in Caracas Venezuela on March 10th 2019 with Margaret Flowers & Kevin Zeese after the three of us had to scramble to find alternatives flights to Venezuela via COPA Airlines, Panama to Caracas. The reason we sought alternative flights was because American Airlines cancelled our flights from Miami to Caracas fearing reported power outages. The electricity blackout was real but flights were still operational during daytime hours as we were soon to find out. We were determined to join our place as delegates on the U.S. Peace Council and to witness for ourselves the extent of U.S. Corporate Media reports of massive civil unrest...

Pathological Deceit: The NYT Inverts Reality On Venezuela’s Cuban Doctors

After debunking Washington’s lies about the burning of “humanitarian aid” trucks on the Venezuelan/Colombian border (more than two weeks after being scooped by independent journalists), the New York Times quickly reverted to form in an article by Nicholas Casey headlined “‘It is Unspeakable’: How Maduro Used Cuban Doctors to Coerce Voters” (3/1/19). As the title not-so-subtly suggests, Casey claimed to present bombshell revelations regarding the Nicolás Maduro government’s alleged weaponization of Cuban medical personnel as a means of holding on to power.
