“Hands off Venezuela”, “Free Maduro”, “Kidnapped by the empire, free them now!”, read the placards, carried by hundreds in their march to the US embassy in South Africa’s capital Pretoria on Thursday, January 8. Participants in the solidarity action also waved the Venezuelan flag alongside red hammer-and-sickle flags. Addressing this protest against the US bombing of Venezuela and the illegal abduction of its President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores on January 3, South African Communist Party (SACP) general secretary, Solly Mapaila, condemned the US as a “rogue state”.

We’re Being Lied To On A Massive Scale About Events In Venezuela

On January 3, the Trump administration authorized a large-scale military invasion in Venezuela that killed one hundred people. The US bombed infrastructure in and around Caracas, and in other states, and kidnapped President Nicolas Maduro and First Combatant (aka First Lady) Cilia Flores. Outright lies are being reported in the corporate media on a massive scale to justify crimes committed by the US military and to mislead the public. Clearing the FOG speaks with activist and policy analyst Leonardo Flores. Flores addresses many of the common myths and provides the facts you need to understand that President Maduro is still the President of Venezuela, that the US-backed far-right opposition led by Maria Corinna Machado has little power within Venezuela, that the Venezuelan government and the Bolivarian Revolution remain strong and united and that gains claimed by the Trump administration are exaggerated. He also discusses what people in the US are doing to mobilize in support of President Maduro and First Lady Flores.

They condemned the United States for using pretexts to invade Venezuela, ultimately aiming to seize its natural resources, including oil and mineral wealth.

January 12, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Cuba, US Imperialism, US Interference, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

In a new threat against a sovereign state, US President Donald Trump declared on Sunday that Cuba will no longer receive oil or money from Venezuela. “No more oil or money for Cuba. Zero! I strongly urge you to make a deal before it’s too late,” Trump wrote on social media. In his statement, he affirmed: “Cuba lived, for many years, on large amounts of oil and money from Venezuela. In return, Cuba provided ‘security services’ for the last two Venezuelan dictators, but not anymore!” The US ruler added that “most of those Cubans are dead from last week’s US attack, and Venezuela doesn’t need protection anymore from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years,” and, in an attempt to make his US followers believe that the US is in control of Venezuela, claimed the US will “protect” Venezuela.

Trump’s Oil War Backfires

January 11, 2026 Mnar Adley, Mintpress News. Resistance Report Oil, Trump Administration, US Imperialism, Venezuela

It is a monumental act of war. After being kidnapped and flown to the United States, President Nicolás Maduro has pled not guilty to spurious drugs charges in New York – even as U.S. government documents admit that Venezuela is not a major drugs producer, and prosecutors concede that Maduro’s supposed Cartel of the Suns never existed. Moreover, Trump’s star key witness, former Venezuelan Gen. Hugo “El Pollo” Carvajal, is a deeply compromised figure. Once a senior official in military intelligence, Carvajal has long been frozen out of power in Venezuela, and became a vocal supporter of U.S.-backed, self-proclaimed president, Juan Guaidó.

At a meeting at the White House on 9 January, the CEOs of major US energy firms expressed skepticism about participating in President Donald Trump’s scheme to invest $100 billion to “revive” Venezuela’s sanctions-battered oil sector. The meeting took place one week after US Special Forces abducted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife and transferred them to New York to stand trial on trumped-up “narco-terrorism” charges. After abducting Maduro, Trump said the US would “take over” Venezuela’s oil reserves, which are considered the largest in the world.

How Many International Laws Can The United States Break Against Venezuela?

January 9, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! International Law, Sovereignty, United States, Venezuela

In the early hours of 3 January, the United States sent its military forces into Venezuela to kidnap President Nicolás Maduro Moros and Cilia Flores, a deputy in the National Assembly, bombing civilian and military sites across Caracas. The United States indicted both Maduro and Flores, who are married, with ‘narco-terrorism’ and related charges and is holding them in New York, where they appeared for the first time in Manhattan federal court on 5 January 2026. Clearly, the United States did not begin its assault on Venezuela on 3 January 2026. The hybrid war against Venezuela’s Bolivarian process began in 2001, after the Organic Law of Hydrocarbons was passed as part of a package of forty-nine laws decreed by Chávez and approved by the National Assembly.

There was no regime change’ -Venezuela’s ex-FM Jorge Arreaza on US kidnapping raid In an exclusive interview with The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal, Venezuela’s former Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza discusses the January 3 US military raid on Caracas that resulted in the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores and the killing of as many as 100 people. Arreaza argues the operation violated international law, the US Constitution, and head-of-state immunity, calling it “barbaric.” He insists Maduro and Flores were in a secure location and were defended by guards who “gave their lives,” but that US technological superiority made resistance ineffective.

Snap rallies in Australia were held on Sunday, January 4, in Melbourne and Sydney, with actions outside the US embassy in Canberra as well as in Brisbane and Hobart.

Chris Hedges Report: Narco-Trafficking Elite Trying To Take Over Venezuela

January 8, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Resistance Report History, Marco Rubio, Narcotrafficking, Venezuela

History, as it’s understood in most Western countries, often misses important chapters that leave critical gaps in the story of how modern countries came to be. In Latin America in the 20th century, episodes of guerilla warfare and juntas are acknowledged, along with portrayals of a drug war, usually depicted through popular culture. What is left out, however, is the clandestine involvement of American intelligence agencies, including the CIA and DEA, and how their drug operations were intimately tied to the Latin American anticommunist brigades funded by Western capital throughout the Cold War, and the brutal liquidation of the Left these narco-terrorists often carried out.

The US Propaganda Campaign To Smear Venezuela’s New President

January 8, 2026 Stansfield Smith, Chicago ALBA Solidarity. Educate! Delcy Rodriguez, Propaganda, US Imperialism, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

The US “regime change” operation against Venezuela has been defeated. The Bolivarian Revolution remains firmly in power. Now, Washington’s campaign against the Chavistas attempts to paint Interim President Delcy Rodriguez as compromising on the heritage of Presidents Nicolas Maduro and Hugo Chavez. The Wall Street Journal ran an article Venezuelan Regime’s New Strategy: Appease Trump to Survive, referring to Delcy Rodriguez’ official statement January 4 (below). The Washington Post on January 6 could state “the Trump administration appears to have quietly settled on Delcy Rodríguez, Nicolás Maduro’s right hand, as the figure it prefers to lead Venezuela after Maduro’s fall.
