Mass Mobilization In Caracas Rejects US Threats Of Intervention

On November 25, tens of thousands of Venezuelans marched to defend national sovereignty. The event, dubbed the “Great Civic-Military, Police March for our National Flag and the Sword of Bolívar”, brought together various groups of military personnel, police, and civilians who demanded an end to Washington’s pressure on the Caribbean country. Since August, the Pentagon has deployed its troops in the Caribbean Sea to, according to the Trump administration, stop the entry of drugs which allegedly come out of Venezuela. At the same time, they have declared the Cartel de los Soles an international terrorist organization and identified the Venezuelan government leadership as part of that organization.

How To Topple Elliot Abrams’ Delusion

Elliott Abrams has resurfaced with familiar instructions on how to “fix” Venezuela, a country he neither understands nor respects, yet feels entitled to rearrange like a piece of furniture in Washington’s living room. His new proposal is drenched in the same Cold War fever and colonial mindset that shaped his work in the 1980s, when U.S. foreign policy turned Central America into a graveyard. My childhood in Venezuela was shaped by stories from our region that the world rarely sees: stories of displacement, of death squads, of villages erased from maps, of governments toppled for daring to act outside Washington’s orbit.

Let’s Debunk The NY Times’ Anti-Venezuela Vomit

It’s time to yet again decode / debunk / defenestrate the pro-war garbage pumped out by the New York Times. This time they’re trying to make sure the US invades Venezuela. Apparently just blowing up fishermen in the Caribbean is not enough for the bloodthirsty clowns worthy of starring in Stephen King’s It. They want a full-blown disaster like the US invasion of Iraq. Let’s pick apart just a portion of the propaganda in their opinion piece “The Case for Overthrowing Maduro” (which many argue is actually a case for canceling your New York Times subscription).

Solidarity Rally At Key Air Force Base In War On Venezuela

Tucson, AZ – On November 22, The Tucson Anti War Committee (TAWC) and a host of organizations wanted to let the thousands of bicyclists in the annual El Tour de Tucson know that, as they passed the Air Force base, people with a conscience demand “Hands off Venezuela!” “With a race of nearly 10,000 and 40% registered from out of state, we saw this as a great opportunity to let as many people know this beautiful landscape is also the HQ for Trump’s war crimes in the Caribbean. People need to know that we can stand up to Trump and stand with Venezuela,” said TAWC organizer Maria Sohn Hasman, addressing the race onlookers.

European Politicians Urge US To Stop Threatening Venezuela

Parliamentarians and political leaders from across Europe called on the United States to cease its threats against Venezuela and demanded the withdrawal of US troops stationed in the Caribbean. “The prelude to the invasion is already underway. A US naval armada—at least eight warships, strategic bombers, fighter jets, and 10,000 troops—is now patrolling the Caribbean,” 62 European political leaders wrote in a statement issued on Friday, November 21. Among the US warships deployed off the Venezuelan coast is the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford, the most advanced aircraft carrier in the US fleet, which was used against Yemen during the latest Zionist genocide in Gaza.

Venezuela Under Siege: A Hundred Deaths At Sea; Hundreds Of Thousands By Sanctions

Most of the world looks on in disbelief at the now-routine murders on the high seas off Venezuela’s coast – serial killings that the newly minted War Department calls Operation Southern Spear. On October 31, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk condemned the attacks, saying that the “mounting human costs are unacceptable.” The People’s Social Summit in Colombia (November 8-9) excoriated Washington. Four days later in Caracas, a meeting of jurists from 35 countries denounced the “homicidal rampage.” The Military Law Task Force of the National Lawyers Guild charged “egregious war crimes and violations of international human rights, maritime, and military law.”

Venezuela Allies Urge US To Cease Military Hostilities

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Group of Friends in Defense of the UN Charter have condemned the United States military escalation in the Caribbean, warning that attacks on Venezuela could have a “spill-over effect” across the entire region. In communiqués issued on Tuesday, both multilateral organizations expressed concern for the increased military build-up in the Caribbean, including several warships, a nuclear-powered submarine and the recently arrived USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier. The 121-member NAM called on the US to stop its airstrikes against small vessels in the Caribbean and the Pacific, which have killed over 80 civilians since September, and to avoid “any further hostile actions.”

Corporate Media Parrot Dubious Claims Used To Justify War On Venezuela

Since August, the US has been amassing military assets in the Caribbean. Warships, bombers and thousands of troops have been joined by the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, in the largest regional deployment in decades. Extrajudicial strikes against small vessels, which UN experts have decried as violations of international law, have killed at least 80 civilians (CNN, 11/14/25). Many foreign policy analysts believe that regime change in Venezuela is the ultimate goal (Al Jazeera, 10/24/25; Left Chapter, 10/21/25), but the Trump administration instead claims it is fighting “narcoterrorism,” accusing Caracas of flooding the US with drugs via the Cartel of the Suns and Tren de Aragua, both designated as foreign terrorist organizations.

Ecuador Votes To Reject Foreign Military Bases

The Donald Trump administration is trying to expand the presence of the US military across Latin America, in an attempt to forcibly impose Washington’s hegemony in the region. The people of Ecuador just delivered a major blow to Trump’s aggressive Latin America strategy. More than three-fifths of Ecuadorians voted to reject a change to their progressive constitution, which would have allowed the Pentagon to establish US military bases in their territory. Ecuador is currently governed by a right-wing president, Daniel Noboa, who is a key regional ally of Trump.

Jurists From 35 Countries Gathered In Caracas To Condemn US Attacks

Venezuela’s National Assembly hosted, this Thursday, November 13 and Friday, November 14, the first Meeting of Jurists in Defense of International Law. The initiative, which included more than one hundred jurists from 35 countries, takes place amid international questions about the jurisprudence of pressure exerted by Washington against Nicolás Maduro’s government – both through bombings of vessels and the movement of aircraft carriers near the Venezuelan coast. Maduro appeared on the second day of the event. The head of state was given a list with 10 proposals drafted by jurists as attempts to halt Washington’s advances.

Trump Says US ‘May Be Having Discussions’ With Venezuela’s Maduro

President Trump said on Sunday that the US “may be having discussions” with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, suggesting his administration has not entirely cut off diplomacy with Caracas as previous reports have said. Trump made the comments when asked about Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s announcement that the State Department would be designating the so-called Cartel de los Soles, or Cartel of the Suns, as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization,” though the group doesn’t actually exist. The term “Cartel of the Suns” was first used in the 1990s, before Maduro’s predecessor, Hugo Chavez, came to power, to describe two Venezuelan military generals with sun insignias on their uniforms who were involved in the drug trade. One of the generals was working with the CIA at the time, according to a 1993 60 Minutes report.

Activists Mobilize Across The Americas To Demand ‘Hands Off Venezuela’

The US military has extrajudicially killed 80 people in 20 strikes that have destroyed 21 boats, in aerial strikes off the coast of Venezuela. With outrage in response to these murders and significant U.S. military buildup near Venezuela, an urgent and coordinated week of action for Venezuela from November 15-23 started yesterday, with over 50 actions across the US and a growing international response. The demonstrations, organized by over 35 organizations forming a rapid response network, are demanding no war on Venezuela, the withdrawal of the U.S. military from the Caribbean, and the establishment of a "Zone of Peace" across the hemisphere.

Veterans Demand An End To War And Occupation

Chicago, IL – On November 11, hundreds of people gathered at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, demanding an immediate end to the militarization and federal attacks on our communities, divestment from state-funded violence such as genocide and war, and rights for all workers. “I wanna ask you veterans, I wanna ask you workers, for your solidarity as we demonstrate, as we organize, and we clarify the principles of this country, that it is freedom, it is democracy, it is solidarity that moves us, not disunity, not exclusion, and certainly not ICE,” said Stacey Davis Gates

What Is Really Happening In Venezuela?

Venezuela is very divided politically, but in general, the Bolivarian Revolution initiated by previous President Hugo Chávez and continued by current President Nicolás Maduro still has a lot of support from poor and working-class Venezuelans. Most rich people and elites are pro-US and anti-government. Many of them have left the country, but there are still some in Venezuela (especially in wealthy areas like Chacao). In Venezuela, most people are tired of political conflict and violence, and they simply want stability. The right-wing opposition does not have many active supporters inside the country. Whenever they try to hold a protest, only a few hundred people show up.

US Announces Operation ‘Southern Spear’ To Destabilize Venezuela

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced on 14 November the launch of a US military operation in Latin America, claiming to target “narco-terrorists” as part of its broader campaign to destabilize Venezuela. “Today, I'm announcing Operation SOUTHERN SPEAR. Led by Joint Task Force Southern Spear and SOUTHCOM, this mission defends our Homeland, removes narco-terrorists from our Hemisphere, and secures our Homeland from the drugs that are killing our people,” Hegseth wrote in a post on X. “The Western Hemisphere is America's neighborhood – and we will protect it,” he claimed.
