Activists Go To Venezuelan Embassy To Evict ‘Ambassador Vecchio’, Find He’s Not There

February 20, 2020 Popular Resistance. Resist! Carlos Vecchio, Embassy Protection Collective, Venezuela

Washington, DC - Today, activists with CODEPINK went to the Venezuelan Embassy in the posh Georgetown neighborhood to find out if the Embassy was providing consular services. Leo Flores, a Venezuelan, rang the doorbell but nobody answered the door. When journalist Anya Parampil asked if the embassy was able to provide consular services, a police officer outside replied, "No, it's not an actual working embassy." Last week, when the four Embassy Protectors who were arrested on May 16 during the US government's raid of the embassy in violation of the Vienna Convention were tried in court, the prosecutor repeatedly stated that it was necessary to remove the protectors so the embassy could be "returned to Ambassador Vecchio."

The self-proclaimed president Juan Guaidó returned to Venezuela on February 11 after a two-week, U.S.-sponsored international tour where he posed not just as Venezuela’s president but as the leader of a divided opposition. As the media outlet Redfish’s coverage shows, his reception in Caracas was not as warm as his reception at the White House and in his highly-publicized meetings with elites of the European Union.[1]

It Is Not Just Venezuela. Nicaragua Is Also An Objective Of Imperialism

The violence began with a revolt in April 2018 and at the end, the gangs supported by the gringos had left hundreds of dead and wounded, destruction of public and private goods, and demolished the tourism sector, which was one of the largest sources of income of the nation. The fascists had sought with the US hand to break the legs of Nicaragua's social progress. To date, the economic, social and political recovery is evident.

Mistrial Declared In Kafkaesque D.C. Trial Of Venezuela Embassy Protectors

February 16, 2020 Alan Macleod, Mintpress News. Resist! Embassy Protection Collective, Legal System, Venezuela

The word “Kafkaesque” is thrown around liberally in the modern era, often without warrant. “The Trial,” a 1925 novel written by Bohemian writer Franz Kafka, tells the story of Josef K., a man arrested and prosecuted in a nightmarish kangaroo court while unable to properly defend himself. But nearly 100 years later, another real trial took place in our modern American dystopia, one which easily qualifies for the moniker. Starting February 11, four anti-war activists, Adrienne Pine, Kevin Zeese, Margaret Flowers and David Paul, were facing a year in prison and a $100,000 fine each for interfering with the protective function of the State Department. Today, despite a hostile judge and a host of constraints against the defense, prosecutors were unable to convince a jury that any crime had been committed and the events ended in a mistrial.

Mistrial In Trump Biased Prosecution Against Venezuelan Embassy Protectors Is Win For Sovereignty

February 15, 2020 By Leonardo Flores, Grayzone Project Educate! Embassy Protection Collective, US Regime Change, Venezuela

A hung jury in the Donald Trump administration’s case against activists who were arrested protecting Venezuela’s internationally recognized embassy in Washington, DC is being heralded as a major win for sovereignty, amid the US government’s floundering coup attempt against the Chavista government in Caracas. On February 14, a jury of 12 DC residents were deadlocked over the issue of the embassy defenders, forcing the judge to declare a mistrial — in a blow to the federal government and to a judicial system that had stacked the odds against them.

Opposition leader Juan Guaido is back in Venezuela after a three-week international tour that took him to Colombia, Europe and the United States. His return was without force and without any conclusive announcements. What’s next now that he is back? What are the plans of the U.S. power? “We just need a little bit,” Juan Guaido said to a small crowd in the Bolivar square at Chacao municipality, after his return yesterday in the late afternoon.

Venezuela Accuses US Of Crimes Against Humanity At The International Criminal Court

February 14, 2020 Staff, Telesurenglish.net Resist! Crime, International Criminal Court, U.S., Venezuela

During his meeting with the Court, Arreaza exposed the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the U.S. government in its failed attempt to overthrow Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro.

Embassy Protectors Will Not Be Able To Tell Jury Guaido Is Not President, Or Mention International Law

February 8, 2020 Ajamu Baraka and Bahman Azad, Defendembassyprotectors.org Educate! Activists, Courts, Regime Change, Repression, Venezuela

On February 4, Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell issued a ruling on what the jurors will be allowed to be told in the trial of the Embassy Protectors scheduled to begin on February 11. She granted most of the government’s requests to prevent the jury from hearing important facts about the case, leaving the protectors with little in the way of a defense. The courtroom will not be an oasis of truth in Washington, DC. The fact that Nicolas Maduro is the lawful president of Venezuela, not the coup leader Juan Guaido, cannot be uttered in that courtroom.

Embassy Protection Collective: ‘We Are Not The Ones Who Violated The Law’

February 5, 2020 Paul Dobson, Venezuelanalysis.com Resist! Activists, Venezuela

Four Embassy Protector Collective members are being prosecuted in Washington DC’s federal court for “interfering with the protective functions of the US Department of State.” The Trump administration is arguing that our refusal to leave interfered with the government’s ability to protect the embassy. The trial will begin on February 11 and could last approximately one week. The maximum penalties are up to one year in jail and up to a US $100,000 fine each.

Venezuela, January 2020: Hardship And Resistance

February 3, 2020 By Peter Lackowski, Counterpunch.org Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Latin America, Sanctions, Venezuela

This January I went to Venezuela with a group of North Americans to see for ourselves how economic “sanctions” are affecting people’s access to food. We wondered how the Venezuelan popular classes are responding to the massive attack on their economic well-being. We saw a complicated scene, with virtually every kind of productive activity crippled in many ways, some not so obvious on the surface.

Ajamu Baraka On The US War On Iran And Venezuela

February 2, 2020 Alan Benjamin, Socialist Organizer. Educate! Imperialism, Iran, Venezuela

Across the country, people came out to say “NO U.S. War on Iran!” — including NO to the U.S. sanctions against Iran that are killing Iranian women and children daily — and to demand that the U.S. government withdraw all its troops from the Middle East.Ajamu Baraka: It was a positive development to see that people came out across the United States in the tens of thousands to express their opposition to the war on Iran by the Republican Party, led by Donald Trump, and by the Democrats, who, though they expressed concerns about some of Trump’s recent actions against Iran, have been stalwart supporters of U.S. imperialism’s permanent war agenda all along. In rally after rally, speakers talked about the fact that the U.S. has become a rogue nation (actually it has always been a rogue nation, but now it is even more so) as a consequence of the decision by the Iraqi parliament to demand that the U.S. withdraw its troops from their nation.

Defense Team Challenged Trump Prosecutors’ Attempts To Fix Outcome Of Trial

A pretrial hearing of the four Embassy Protectors facing federal prosecution took place before Judge Beryl A. Howell on January 29 in Washington, DC. The hearing, which was to define the parameters of the upcoming trial, became complicated as the judge learned more about the facts of the case. When the hearing started, Judge Howell stated that she expected to rule on all the issues requiring decisions that day. She added that her previous ruling on discovery, where she denied all of the defendants’ discovery requests, ought to tell the defendants what to expect. However, after four hours, the judge decided to delay some of her decisions on critical elements such as what the jury will be allowed to hear and whether the Embassy Protectors will be able to present a meaningful defense.
