Venezuela Under Cyberattack: Over 106 State Institutions Targeted

August 15, 2024 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
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. , , , ,
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. , , , ,
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. , , ,
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. , , ,
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.

Maduro Vs. US Election Interference: A Battle For Venezuela’s Future

June 26, 2024 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , , ,
With upcoming elections scheduled for July 28, the United States is working overtime to dislodge the socialist government of Nicolás Maduro. Ten individuals are vying for the position, including nine in opposition to Maduro, who heads a coalition of 13 leftist groups. Washington, though, has made clear that its preferred candidate is 74-year-old retired diplomat Edmundo González, and is spending big, bankrolling a myriad of opposition organizations, from political parties to NGOs and media outlets, all with the same goal in mind: ousting Maduro and returning Venezuela into the U.S. sphere of influence.

Venezuela Reveals White House Offers For Maduro To Leave Presidency

June 8, 2024 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The president of Venezuela’s National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, revealed in a recent press conference the “offers” Washington officials have made to President Nicolás Maduro to leave the Venezuelan presidency. On Tuesday, June 4, Rodríguez, who is also the coordinator of President Maduro’s reelection campaign, explained that when he participated in the dialogue in Mexico between the Venezuelan Government and a sector of the Venezuelan far-right opposition, they made “offers” to the president and his wife, Cilia Flores, on several occasions. “In Mexico, the gringos asked for a meeting, and Maduro told me: ‘Go see what the gringos want,'” said Rodríguez, who also served as head of the government delegation in the dialogues with the opposition.

Washington Is Trying To Divide Revolutionary Forces In Bolivia

May 1, 2024 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, warned that the United States intends to divide the popular and revolutionary forces in Bolivia in order to recolonize Latin America. “The main goal of the US empire and the Bolivian fascists is to divide the Bolivian socialist and revolutionary forces, and to turn them against each other to a point impossible to reconcile the leadership of comrade Evo Morales, the leadership of President Lucho Arce, that is the plan,” said the Venezuelan president on Monday, April 29, during the 43rd episode of his TV program Con Maduro+.

UN Human Rights Council Is Lending Support To US Regime Change Plans

April 19, 2024 Nicaragua Solidarity Coalition, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Human rights experts and activists are expressing concern over a flawed and seriously unbalanced report of the Group of Human Rights Experts on Nicaragua (GHREN), released by the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on February 24, 2024. The UNHRC, says the Nicaragua Solidarity Coalition, is lending itself to the U.S. regime-change strategy against Nicaragua by highlighting only evidence supplied by opponents of Nicaragua’s government, while omitting highly pertinent information submitted to the GHREN by a number of individuals and groups. 

Foreign Affairs Committee Approves Resolution To Intensify Sanctions Against Venezuela

March 23, 2024 Ana Perdigón, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
The Foreign Affairs Committee of the US Congress approved a resolution to intensify unilateral coercive measures against Venezuela. Now the resolution will go to the House floor for a final vote. In recent days, Republican Senator Marco Rubio urged the Committee to support the resolution, as a response to the arrests of several leaders of the far-right Vente Venezuela party, made by the Venezuelan authorities for the Vente Venezuela leaders’ involvement in coup attempts in Venezuela. As part of a Democrat-Republican bipartisan agreement, the House Foreign Affairs Committee approved a resolution that would cancel the few sanctions relief allowed in the General License 44 of the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

Venezuela’s Election In The Crosshairs Of New US Regime Change Scheme

March 17, 2024 Zoe Alexandra and Walter Smolerek, Resumen English. , , , ,
Twenty-five years after Hugo Chávez took office and began the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela, US officials have still not tired of dreaming up new plots to overthrow the country’s government. Five years ago, following the last presidential election, they attempted to install Juan Guaidó—a politician most Venezuelans had never even heard of—as the country’s head of state. And now, with the date for the next presidential election officially set for July 28, the Biden administration is gearing up for the biggest regime-change push since the Guaidó coup attempt.

How The CIA Destabilizes The World

February 16, 2024 Jeffrey D. Sachs, Scheer Post. , , ,
There are three basic problems with the CIA: its objectives, methods, and unaccountability. Its operational objectives are whatever the CIA or the President of the United States defines to be in the U.S. interest at a given time, irrespective of international law or U.S. law. Its methods are secretive and duplicitous. Its unaccountability means that the CIA and president run foreign policy without any public scrutiny. Congress is a doormat, a sideshow. As a recent CIA Director, Mike Pompeo, said of his time at the CIA: “I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment.” The CIA was established in 1947 as the successor to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS).

Washington Sets Stage For Delegitimizing The Venezuelan Presidential Election

February 11, 2024 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution marks its 25th anniversary this month, despite continuous US-led hybrid warfare to overthrow the socialist project. The Venezuelan government of President Nicolás Maduro has successfully forced the US to de facto engage with it, although Washington still maintains the fiction that the defunct 2015 National Assembly is the “last remaining democratic institution” there. The US has been relegated to vetting candidates for the upcoming Venezuelan presidential election. While still egregiously interventionist, the imperial power has failed to achieve outright regime change. The appearance of Venezuelan opposition politician Maria Corina Machado before a US congressional committee is the latest in the empire’s quest for a trustworthy confederate.

To Subdue Haiti’s Resistance, USAID Will Assemble ‘Civil Society’ Puppets

November 2, 2023 Travis Ross, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
While USAID claims that it provides international assistance to “strengthen democratic governance” in “support of American foreign policy,” the historical record reveals that it has been used to finance opposition groups and regime-change attempts in countries that challenge Washington’s foreign policy interest. Researcher Peter Hallward documented how USAID funds were used to fund anti-government civil society fronts in Haiti after Aristide’s landslide election in 2000. This followed a cut in funding to Haiti immediately following Aristide’s victory. The understanding that the NED and USAID serve as tools for U.S. imperialism is more widely accepted these days.

I Crashed An Anti-Syria Lobby Meeting

August 30, 2023 Hekmat Aboukhater, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
This July 30, I registered under an alias to join a workshop organized by the Syrian American Council (SAC), the leading voice of the lobby that aims to starve and destabilize Syria into submission to the West’s demands. The workshop instructed SAC members to advocate for the most recent Syria regime change bill, H.R. 3202, during those visits. During the seminar, I was able to witness firsthand the impact of the anti-Syria lobby and understand the cynical tactics it employs to condemn the population of Syria to poverty and famine. Most recently, the lobby successfully ended the life-saving sanctions exemption known as General License 23 (GL 23), which allowed humanitarian aid into Syria following the catastrophic earthquake that struck the country this February.
