US Continues To Blow Up Small Boats

May 7, 2026 Roger D. Harris and John Perry, Popular Resistance. Educate! extrajudicial murder, fishermen, US military, Venezuela

A US military strike on May 4 killed two mariners in an alleged “narco boat” campaign which now has a cumulative death toll of at least 188. The pace of extrajudicial executions is ramping up, according to The Guardian. But why? The serial murders could be, as the Trump administration claims, a genuine counter-narcotics operation. Or Mr. Trump and company may be conducting a demonstration exercise of executive power. Alternatively, the “kinetic strikes” may reflect more domestic concerns or perhaps foreign policy issues. Another possibility is that the administration is intentionally cultivating an image of unpredictability associated with “madman theory” of deterrence.

Venezuela’s Window Of Opportunity For Economic Recovery

April 30, 2026 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Strategize! Bolivarian Revolution, Sanctions, US Interference, Venezuela

Although progressives are rightly concerned about US-coerced compromises and concessions, it is equally important to understand the resilience and continuing successes of Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution. Focusing only on the half-empty aspect of the proverbial glass obscures the strength of the resistance and conceals the vulnerabilities of the imperial juggernaut. On a delegation to Venezuela, the constant refrain from both high-ranking government officials and grassroots Chavistas – supporters of the movement led by former President Hugo Chávez – was that they were urgently “buying time.”

After The US Bombing, A Venezuelan Community Under Siege Speaks

April 23, 2026 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Resist! Cilia Flores, Kidnapping, Nicolas Maduro, Socialism, US Military Intervention, Venezuela

The large-scale US airstrike on Venezuela was unprecedented in modern history. The surprise attack forcibly kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, First Combatant Cilia Flores, from Fort Tiuna on the outskirts of Caracas. The US killed over 100 people in the early morning hours of January 3, 2026, including reportedly some civilians in the neighboring Ciudad Tiuna social housing complex. We visited Ciudad Tiuna 50 days after the US bombing to hear the resident’s accounts. We were the second “solidarity brigade” to visit Venezuela and the first to arrive by air.

Venezuela’s Social Transformation In The Chávez Era

April 20, 2026 Misión Verdad, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Bolivarian Revolution, History, Hugo Chavez, Venezuela

There are historical processes whose understanding depends, to a large extent, on the ability to preserve and reconstruct the memory of what they meant in everyday life. The period of Hugo Chávez’s government in Venezuela falls into that very category: a stage marked by social transformations that tangibly changed the conditions of access to rights for large sectors of the population. This series starts from that need for review. In a previous article, Misión Verdad addressed the economic dimension of the Bolivarian model.

The acting president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, commemorated Saturday the 24th anniversary of the 2002 failed far-right coup against President Hugo Chávez by emphasizing that the Venezuelan people reject fascism and remain steadfast in defense of their sovereignty. On Saturday, April 11, speaking at the Cotiza neighborhood in Caracas, Rodríguez noted that the upcoming April 13 celebration would mark the restoration of constitutional order, just as it did 24 years ago. “Every 11th has its 13th, and on the 13th we will be celebrating the restoration of democracy,” the acting president said.

Oil Explosion In Black Town Traces Back To Iran And Venezuela Crises

John Beard takes no pleasure in being right. In January, he told Capital B that he feared U.S. military action in Venezuela, which ultimately gave America preferential access to the South American nation’s vast oil reserves, would lead to disaster in southeast Texas. “The chickens have come home to roost,” Beard said over the phone, between fielding calls from his neighbors. “Our exact fears have come true.” On March 23, an explosion at the Valero Port Arthur Refinery shook homes as far as 11 miles away and sent a thick black plume across the predominantly Black city.

The Weight On Delcy Rodriguez

April 2, 2026 Craig Murray. Educate! Delcy Rodriguez, Kidnapping, US Imperialism, US Intervention, Venezuela

Almost everything you are told in the West about Venezuela is untrue, and the biggest lie is that Machado, Guaidó and the groupings around them are in any sense democrats or liberal. They are not, and have direct family and political links to the murderous CIA-sponsored regimes of the pre-Chávez years. They also have many scores to settle – Machado’s family, to give just one example, dominated the electricity supply before it was nationalised. A very large number of the “political prisoners” the West is so concerned about, were involved in efforts at military coup or violent insurrection, of which Guaidó’s comic opera attempt in 2019 was only the most publicised.

Amnesty International Defends US Regime-Change NGOs

Why are many Latin American countries shutting down nonprofit organizations? Amnesty International claims it has the answer: in every case, it’s part of a drive to restrict human rights and “tear up the social fabric.” Amnesty’s new 95-page report (in Spanish, with an English summary), criticizes governments across the political spectrum for attacking what it calls “civil society organizations.” But Amnesty ignores the history of many such organizations and therefore why governments might be justified in closing them. Here we focus on the report’s deficiencies in relation to Nicaragua, Venezuela (two NGOs interviewed in each) and Cuba (none).

The Commune And Popular Sovereignty In Times Of Imperialist Siege

March 30, 2026 Cira Pascual Marquina , Orinoco Tribune. Resist! Communes, Economic Blockade, Sovereignty, US Imperialism, Venezuela

I write these lines at a particularly difficult moment for Venezuelan sovereignty. The imperialist attack of January 3 and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and Congresswoman Cilia Flores marked a new escalation in an aggression that now spans more than twenty-six years against the Bolivarian Revolution. This is not an isolated episode. It is a new chapter in a broad and multifaceted strategy aimed at taking away the Venezuelan people and government’s power of decision and, ultimately, reversing the political path inaugurated in 1999.

The Venezuelan Flag Flies Again At The US Embassy

Venezuela has recovered its diplomatic headquarters in the United States, as reported on Saturday March 28. The Venezuelan flag is now flying over the ambassador’s residence, which—along with other diplomatic facilities—”will be rehabilitated to serve all Venezuelans.” Following the failed 2019 US-led regime-change operation with Juan Guaidó as the face, the embassy and eight consulates of Venezuela in the US were illegally removed from the control of Venezuelan authorities and transferred to US-authorized far-right operators.

Judge May Reconsider Dismissing Maduro’s Case

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein refused to dismiss drug trafficking charges against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores on March 26, even though the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is blocking funds for their legal defense, in violation of the Sixth Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the U.S. Constitution. But Hellerstein reserved the right to revisit the issue in the future if he determines that OFAC is arbitrarily obstructing the money for Maduro’s counsel of choice.

Protests In Venezuela And US Demand Freedom For Presidential Couple

Simultaneous marches were held in Caracas and New York on Thursday, March 26, demanding the release of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady and National Assembly Deputy Cilia Flores, who are being illegally held captive in the United States. In New York City and Plaza Bolívar in Caracas, hundreds of banners flew with a single slogan, “Free the Venezuelan presidential couple.” On Thursday, during the presidential couple’s second hearing, people from different nationalities gathered near the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Venezuelan Diplomats Set To Arrive In Washington This Week

On Tuesday, Acting President Delcy Rodríguez announced that a Venezuelan diplomatic delegation will depart for Washington this week. The move aims to resume formal diplomatic ties, as previously announced on February 3, marking one month since the unprecedented US military strikes on Venezuela and the criminal abduction of President Nicolás Maduro. “This week, a delegation of diplomats will be leaving for Washington to begin this new stage of relations and political diplomatic dialogue between our government,” Acting President Rodríguez said during a meeting at Miraflores Palace with investors and business associations.
