Why Cuba Hasn’t Adjusted To US Sanctions After Six Decades

November 11, 2024 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, US Regime Change, US Sanctions

For the thirty-second time in so many years, the US blockade of Cuba was globally condemned at the UN General Assembly’s annual vote in October. Only Tel Aviv joined Washington in defending the collective punishment, which is illegal under international law. For the vast majority of Cubans, who were born after the first unilateral coercive measures were imposed, life under these conditions is the only normalcy they have known. Even friends sympathetic to socialism and supporters of Cuba may question why the Cubans have not simply learned to live under these circumstances after 64 years.

Documents Reveal US Intel Cutout’s Iranian Counter-Revolution Plans

September 23, 2024 Kit Klarenberg and Max Blumenthal, The Grayzone. Educate! Iran, National Endowment for Democracy (NED), Neoconservatism, US Imperialism, US Regime Change

Leaked documents and emails obtained by The Grayzone reveal a seemingly covert effort by American regime change operatives to impose radical leadership on the remnants of Iran’s protest movement against the mandatory hijab, in order to topple the government of Iran. The initiative was spearheaded by Carl Gershman, the longtime director of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a US government-funded non-profit which advances regime change operations across the globe. Originally conceived by the Reagan administration’s CIA, the NED has meddled in elections and sponsored coup leaders from Nicaragua to Venezuela to Hong Kong, and beyond.

Venezuela Election: US And Accomplices Left Grasping At Straws

September 10, 2024 Francisco Dominguez, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Edmundo González, Elections, US Imperialism, US Regime Change, Venezuela

The people of Venezuela have defeated a high-tech US-led coup. The nation’s electoral authority was able not only to hold election 31st but, despite facing a colossal attack against the nation’s computerised electoral system, it was able to announce the July 28 election results that showed the people of Venezuela, by re-electing President Maduro for the 2025-2031, resulted victorious against, yet another nasty US-run ‘regime change’ push. The coup plot involved a massive and sustained, months-long, world corporate media campaign spewing an unusually homogenous message that president Maduro would be electorally defeated, quoting ‘polls’ that gave US-supported, extreme right-wing candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez (fielded by the Unitary Platform coalition, PUD), 80% of the vote.

August 31, 2024 Ana Perdigón, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Edmundo González, Elections, Legal System, US Regime Change, Venezuela

The former Venezuelan presidential candidate for the extreme-right Unitary Platform, Edmundo González, disobeyed for the third time the summons of the Public Ministry (MP), where he had been called to testify as a person under investigation for several crimes. Edmundo González was supposed to go to the Attorney General’s Office at 10 a.m. (Caracas time) this Friday. González has been accused of usurpation of functions, forging of public documents, incitement to disobedience of laws, cyber crimes, criminal association, and conspiracy. Currently, the MP is investigating the extreme-right politician for the publication of alleged voting records on the webpage resultadosconvzla.com.

The Weakness Of Progressive Latin American Governments In These Precarious Times

On 16 August 2024, the Organisation of American States (OAS), whose 1948 formation as a Cold War institution was instigated by the United States, voted on a resolution regarding the Venezuelan presidential elections. The nub of the resolution proposed by the US called upon Venezuela’s election authority, the National Electoral Council (CNE), to publish all the election details as soon as possible (including the actas, or voting records, at the local polling station level). This resolution asks the CNE to go against Venezuela’s Organic Law on Electoral Processes (Ley Orgánica de Procesos Electorales or LOPE): since the law does not call for the publication of these materials, doing so would be a violation of public law.

From Gaza To Venezuela, Erik Prince Plots His Next Move

As U.S. officials continue to reject Venezuela’s recent election results, Erik Prince, the founder of the notorious Blackwater mercenary group, has released a video addressing the nation’s opposition protesters, sparking fears that his private military forces might become involved. “Your friends from the north, though we’re not with you today, we’re coming soon. We support you to the end,” Prince declared in a social media video addressing Venezuelan opposition protesters. He added in a caption attached to the video, published on X [formerly Twitter], “To all those in the security forces, choose the side of freedom, not the side of socialist gangsters. We are watching, and justice will be done.”

Probing US Regime-Change in Pakistan And Bangladesh

August 23, 2024 Jeffrey D. Sachs, Consortium News. Educate! Bangladesh, Coups, Pakistan, United Nations, US Regime Change

Two former leaders of major South Asian countries have reportedly accused the United States of covert regime change operations to topple their governments. One of the leaders, former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, languishes in prison, on a perverse conviction that proves Khan’s assertion. The other leader, former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheik Hasina, fled to India following a violent coup in her country. Their grave accusations against the U.S., as reported in the world media, should be investigated by the U.N., since if true, the U.S. actions would constitute a fundamental threat to world peace and to regional stability in South Asia.

Venezuela: Far-Right’s ‘Great International Protest’ Fails

August 18, 2024 Orinoco Tribune. Educate! 2014 Elections, Far Right Politics, US Regime Change, Venezuela

Caracas and several cities in Venezuela witnessed a new round of demonstrations supporting the Bolivarian Revolution as well as a few small far-right demonstrations called by those who got defeated in the presidential elections held on July 28 but claim victory nonetheless. The low turnout in the opposition demonstrations contrast sharply with their claim of having received 7.3 million of votes in the presidential elections. The “massive” march promised by the far right for this Saturday, August 17, was a clear failure. The call for protests was unable to attract large crowds in Caracas and other cities as planned, despite the calls of María Corina Machado and an army of influencers and paid journalists on social media platforms asking Venezuelans to join the marches.

CNN’s Fraudulent Analysis Of Fraud In The Venezuelan Presidential Election

August 15, 2024 Allan Miller and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! CNN, Elections, Propaganda, US Regime Change, Venezuela

In the quarter century of the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela, initiated by the election of Hugo Chávez and continued by his successor Nicolás Maduro, 31 national elections have been held. Invariably, the US-backed opposition claimed fraud in all but the two contests that they won. Equally unvaryingly has been the corporate press’s supporting and indeed embellishing of the claims of fraud as described below. The moment that Venezuela’s election authority (CNE in its Spanish initials) reported that incumbent Maduro had prevailed in the July 28 presidential contest over his nearest challenger, Edmundo González, howls of fraud were to be heard throughout the world’s corporate press.

China Releases Explosive Report On US’s National Endowment For Democracy

August 15, 2024 Arnaud Bertrand, Popular Resistance. Educate! China, National Endowment for Democracy, NED, US Regime Change

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released quite the explosive report on the US's National Endowment for Democracy (NED), explaining how under the cover of "promoting democracy", it has "long engaged in subverting state power in other countries, meddling in other countries’ internal affairs, inciting division and confrontation, misleading public opinion, and conducting ideological infiltration". In short, it's subverting democracy, the exact contrary of what it says it's doing. The NED has long been infamous for doing this kind of stuff but there are a few things in the report that are really explosive.

Venezuela Under Cyberattack: Over 106 State Institutions Targeted

August 15, 2024 Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Cyber Attack, Government, US Regime Change, Venezuela

Over 106 state institutions have been subjected to cyber attacks in Venezuela since July 28—the date of the Venezuelan presidential elections—according to reports from the Venezuelan minister for science and technology, Gabriela Jiménez. In an interview on the programme Aquí y Ahora—broadcast by the news outlet La IguanaTV—Jiménez explained that these attacks have increased since last Monday, August 12, when the National Defense Council and the Council of State met to establish the National Cybersecurity Council. She explained that these attacks have been designed specifically to target government institutions, and thus steal information from the state.

Ex-Bangladeshi Prime Minister Says US Orchestrated Her Ouster

August 13, 2024 Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, student movement, US Imperialism, US Regime Change

Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has accused the United States, in a letter published on Sunday, of orchestrating her ouster after she refused to give up the sovereignty of the strategic island of St. Martin. “I could have remained in power if I had surrendered the sovereignty of Saint Martin Island and allowed America to hold sway over the Bay of Bengal,” the letter obtained by The Economic Times read. Hasina said last summer that Bangladesh would not lease the island, without specifying the details or the interested party. US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said days later that the US had never mentioned plans to take control of the island.

Venezuelans Defend Their Revolution Against Another US Coup Attempt

August 12, 2024 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Podcast - Clearing The FOG Bolivarian Revolution, Coup Attempt, Elections, US Regime Change, Venezuela

On July 28, Venezuelans re-elected President Nicolas Maduro for another term despite US interference in their electoral process and subsequent attempts to delegitimize the process. The United States government has refused to recognize President Maduro, instead claiming without evidence that an opposition candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, was the winner, a tactic reminiscent of the Juan Guaido charade. Clearing the FOG speaks with Venezuelan political analyst Maria Paez Victor about the Bolivarian Revolution, the most recent US-backed coup attempt, media attacks, and how Venezuelans have prepared to protect their deep democracy and social gains.

Without Evidence, US Declares Edmundo González Winner Of Venezuela’s Election

August 3, 2024 Zoe Alexandra, People's Dispatch. Educate! Elections, International Solidarity, US Regime Change, Venezuela

History has repeated itself in US-Venezuelan relations. On August 1, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken released a statement “Assessing the Results of Venezuela’s Presidential Election,” wherein he declares that “it is clear to the United States and, most importantly, to the Venezuelan people that Edmundo González Urrutia won the most votes in Venezuela’s July 28 presidential election.” The statement also harshly criticizes Venezuela’s electoral system, the process on voting day, and the manner in which results have been released by Venezuela’s National Electoral Council (CNE). The declaration has been harshly criticized by different governments, political analysts, and social movements, which accuse the US of once again trying to implement the failed “Guaidó plan.”

The Grayzone Caused ‘Biggest PR Fiasco In History’ For US Government

August 2, 2024 Kit Klarenberg and Max Blumenthal, The Grayzone. Educate! CIA, National Endowment for Democracy, Public Relations, US Regime Change

The Grayzone’s publication of an embarrassing phone call with a National Endowment for Democracy VP triggered an institution-wide meltdown at the US government’s regime change laboratory. Following the call, the group’s founding president privately admitted the “fiasco” exposed major “problems beneath the polished surface.” Now, leaked emails obtained by The Grayzone reveal the organization has since descended into chaos, with two senior officials fired due to the fiasco, and remaining staff engaged in civil war between the neocon old guard and the “woke” new generation hired to replace them.
