Awaiting approval by the US Senate, the bipartisan bill titled “Banning Operations and Leases with the Illegitimate Venezuelan Authoritarian Regime Act,” known by its forced acronym “BOLIVAR Act,” represents a milestone in the institutionalization of illegal sanctions against Venezuela. This law aims to—under a legislative and bipartisan framework—perpetuating the executive orders that have operated as the core of the economic and financial coercion policy against Venezuela over the past ten years. Within the law, the definition of the term “person” as a legal object establishes an expansion of the scope of sanctions, covering everything from individuals and private entities to governmental bodies and their extensions, thereby creating a vast catalog of potential targets on an international scale.

The head of state of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, presided over the closing ceremony of the International Anti-Fascist Youth Congress this Saturday in Caracas.

US-backed Venezuelan Opposition Never Tried To Win The Presidency

“On the campaign trail, she [María Corina Machado] was received almost as a religious figure, often wearing white, promising to restore democracy and reunite families torn apart by an economic crisis and mass migration. ‘María!’ her followers shouted, before falling into her arms,” the New York Times reverently reported. Indeed, Machado’s personally chosen surrogate to contend in last July’s Venezuelan presidential election, Edmundo González, did fall into her arms. But that was because her infirm disciple had trouble, both literally and figuratively, standing on his own two feet.

The vice president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, reported that the proposals coming out of the Great Congress of the Bolivarian Historical Block will help in the construction of the economic transformation program that Venezuela requires. During her speech at the opening ceremony of the Congress, Thursday, November 15, at the Convention Center in Simón Bolívar Park in La Carlota, Caracas, the Venezuelan vice president also highlighted the over 100 proposals that had been submitted. “I welcome these more than 100 proposals that have been raised … because they will help us to build the economic transformation program that Venezuela needs, in order to become a powerful country,” she said.

Function Of The ‘Compatible Left’ Seen In Attacks On Venezuelan Revolution

November 4, 2024 Stansfield Smith, Popular Resistance. Strategize! Anti-Imperialism, CIA, The Faux Left, Venezuela

“Compatible left” was a term used by the CIA to describe those on the left it has deemed compatible with maintaining imperialist world rule. This left has dominated the US left since the end of World War II, in large part a result of government operations repressing the communist or anti-imperialist left. Historically, this compatible left that the CIA worked to cultivate rejects actually existing socialism and formed a “third camp” or “plague on both houses” left between capitalist and socialist countries. Providing a “respectable” alternative to the anti-imperialists, it used its progressive flavor to lure in radical youth, activists, workers, and intellectuals.

Venezuela Calls For World Antifascist Parliamentary Forum

Undoubtedly the major conflicts underway in the world today, more often than not, can be viewed as expressions of ideologies—long thought to have been left behind in history—like fascism, nazism and zionism where imperialism and colonialism remain the underlying rationalisation for warmongers. If the warmonger were to be equated to a painter one could imagine different shades of fascism, nazism and zionism as splashes of colours on a canvas of imperialism-colonialism. The problem is that warmongers do not produce art, at odds with the title of the 2500-years-old book The Art of War by Sun Tzu.

Venezuelan Dissidents Supporting Israel Receive Human Rights Award

October 31, 2024 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Elections, Opposition, Palestine, Venezuela, Western imperialism

The world’s peoples recoil in shock over the previously unimaginable barbarity of the US/Zionist assault on Palestine. The European Parliament is not impervious to what is transpiring. On the contrary, the body normalizes the cruelty by awarding its highest human rights award, the Sakharov Prize, to dissident Venezuelan genocide supporters. This is an example of how Western "democracies" fail to respect democracy in the Global South. "Human rights" are weaponized and used to repudiate Venezuela’s right to choose its own leaders, while rewarding those who sell out their country. The US-aligned camp has a clear double standard on when and where upholding “democratic institutions” apply, considering their stances on Venezuela compared to Israel, described below.

What Venezuelans Think About Their Presidential Election

It’s been nearly three months since the Venezuelans went to the polls on July 28, and there is still contention domestically and abroad regarding the winner of the presidential election. This is not unexpected. The US has not recognized the legitimacy of the previous two presidential elections in Venezuela and had announced way before this election that if Washington’s chosen candidate lost, it could only be because of fraud. The official Venezuelan electoral authority (CNE) declared incumbent President Nicolás Maduro the winner with 52% of the vote. The nearest contender, the US-backed Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, got 43% of the vote.

Why Brazil Opposes Venezuela’s Entry Into BRICS

On Monday, it was reported that Brazil would oppose Venezuela’s entry into the BRICS group. The 16th Summit of the BRICS organization is taking place this week in the Russian city of Kazan. President Nicolás Maduro was invited by the Russian president himself, Vladimir Putin, at the beginning of August, and is attending with a Venezuelan delegation. The Brazilian government’s advisor for international affairs, former foreign minister Celso Amorim, announced that Brazil would seek to prevent Venezuela from joining BRICS. The instruction to veto Caracas’s possible accession came from Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

‘The Commune Is Nothing New Here’: The Rio Cataniapo Commune

Early in the last decade a set of communities along the Cataniapo River started to organize themselves to protect the river’s ecosystem and bolster their agricultural and handicraft production. A few years later, in response to Chávez’s call to build socialist communes, 15 community councils in the area came together to form the Rio Cataniapo Commune. Today, approximately 1500 people participate in the Río Cataniapo Comune. They come from various ethnic backgrounds, but the majority identify as Indigenous and some still practice common ownership of land.

Cuba: Power Outages Prolonged Due To Delays In Energy Recovery

October 20, 2024 Telesur, Resumen English. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Energy, Solidarity, Venezuela

Today, Cuba once again experienced a total power outage after the recovery process of the National Electric System (SEN), initiated the day before following a blackout caused by a failure at a thermoelectric plant, failed. The Caribbean nation is unable to purchase or modernize its electrical machinery due to the draconian, unilateral blockade of the US. The process of re-energizing the SEN was then initiated, gradually restoring power to certain areas of the country with the goal of expanding and connecting them to eventually reach the thermoelectric plants and restart them. However, a new total disconnection thwarted the progress that had been made.

Anticipating Escalation: Neutralizing Swarming’s Armed Front

In her effort to readjust the agenda of regime change and in the face of a clear mood of demobilization within her ranks, María Corina Machado has decided to publicly incorporate the concept of “swarming“ into her narrative. This decision reflects the consolidation of a path that goes beyond what is attempted to be presented as “peaceful protest” by proposing a more aggressive form of confrontation, embedded in the scope of military operations, while using the discourse on human rights to counteract the possible limitations suffered by the violent actions that the far right hopes to set in motion.

Applying/Misapplying Gramsci’s Passive Revolution To Latin America

The second wave of progressive Latin American governments that began with the election of Andrés Manuel López Obrador in Mexico in 2018 does not have the aura of excitement surrounding the first, dating back to Hugo Chávez in 1998. It is not only characterized by pragmatism, but lacks the slogans and banners of radical change associated with Chávez and Evo Morales. As stated by former Bolivian vice president Álvaro García Linera in the face of challenges from an aggressive right, the second-wave left “turned up to the fight in an already exhausted state.”

Global South Denounces Genocide; Nicaragua Ends Relations With Israel

More and more countries in the Global South are cutting relations with Israel, accusing it of committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. United Nations experts have stated that there “are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating the commission of the crime of genocide … has been met”, adding that “the genocide in Gaza is the most extreme stage of a long-standing settler colonial process of erasure of the native Palestinians”. Scientific experts have estimated that 186,000 Palestinians will die due to Israel’s war of extermination on Gaza, representing roughly 8% of the population of the densely populated strip.

The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, has asked the Bolivarian National Armed Forces to proceed with plans to review all communications and cyber equipment owned by the national military and security institution, in order to prevent such equipment from being used to attack the country. During his participation in the 19th anniversary commemoration of the Strategic Operational Command of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (CEOFANB) this Thursday, September 26, President Maduro explained that this decision was made after the Israeli settler state recently hacked communication devices such as cell phones or pagers to carry out terrorist attacks in Lebanon, killing dozens and injuring thousands.
