On January 23, 2019 with the support of US Vice President Mike Pence, Juan Guaidó, a white supremacist, anti-people, opposition “leader” declared himself interim president of Venezuela under the pretense that Nicolás Maduro, the pro-people candidate, had stolen the 2018 election. Shortly thereafter the white supremacist, anti-people alliance including Canada, Israel, several European countries, and various Latin American nations known as the Lima Group followed suit in recognizing Guaidó.

Guaido’s uprising is going through its terminal phrase. He does not yet appear to have reached his end as leader, as he still produces and consolidates an important consensus among the opposition. What has decisively failed is his attempt to form a government without elections with the backing of the hawks in Washington. In almost six months since his self-swearing in as “interim president,” it has become palpable that his governing is truly impossible.

July 10, 2019 By Pasqualina Curcio Curcio, Redangostura.org.ve Educate! Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

It is not true that more than 3 million people have emigrated from Venezuela during 2018. Donald Trump, as well as all the White House spokesmen, have said tirelessly that Venezuela is going through a deep humanitarian crisis that has forced "millions of Venezuelans to flee". Phrase that they have tried to position to justify an intervention. This statement does not coincide with the data published on the website of the Central Intelligence Agency -CIA- The World Factbook . The CIA reports that during the year 2018 the net migration rate in Venezuela was -1.2 migrants / 1000 inhabitants.

When United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet traveled to Venezuela earlier this year, she met with an array of citizens who lost family members to right-wing violence in the country. Among them was Inés Esparragoza, whose 20-year-old son, Orlando Figuera, was doused with gasoline and lit on fire by an opposition mob during violent anti-government riots, known as guarimbas, in May 2017. “He was stabbed, beaten and cruelly burnt alive,” Esparragoza declared before Bachelet in March. “Simply because of the color of his shirt, the color of his skin, and because he said he was Chavista.”

Briefing: The Effects Of The Economic Blockade Of Venezuela

July 9, 2019 Staff, Venezuelasolidarity.co.uk Educate! Latin America, Sanctions, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The U.S. has been pursuing a strategy of ‘regime change’ through destabilising Venezuela dating back to the early years of Hugo Chávez’s presidency. This led George W. Bush’s administration to support the failed coup d’état against Chávez in 2002 and also the right-wing management lock-out in the oil industry. The lock-out, while ultimately unsuccessful, cost billions of dollars in lost revenues and had a catastrophic impact on the government’s social projects. Declassified US government documents and Wikileaks material have shown that the US has subsequently used covert financial, political, media and diplomatic activities in pursuit of its goal...

July 8, 2019 By Roger D. Harris, Mintpressnews.com Educate! Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

Even the corporate media are losing enthusiasm for the US government’s ploy to replace the democratically elected President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela with the US-anointed security asset Juan Guaido. Reuters reports in a July 1 article, “Disappointed Venezuelans lose patience with Guaido as Maduro hangs on,” that the US-backed “military uprising” has “unraveled.” A critical reading of the article explains why. Reuters correctly notes that “the 35-year old (Guaido) had risen to prominence three months before,” though a little more background information would have been helpful.

La Paz, Bolivia - Russia's presence in Venezuela helped scale down US aggression, according to the head of the Bolivian presidential administration, Juan Ramon Quintana. "I would say that Russia is playing a role of a geopolitical mediator in Latin America. We think that we can find a balanced framework for the relationships in the region, with Russia and China. I think the most important example at the moment is the Russian-Venezuelan relationship. Russia's very presence in Venezuela helped diminish US aggression regarding their intention to destroy Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela", Quintana said.

Foreign policy moves promoted by White House National Security Advisor John Bolton with respect to Venezuela and other countries are causing a split in the Trump administration, Popular Resistance activist group co-director Kevin Zeese said.

Uruguay walked out of the meeting in protest of the seating of a delegation representing Venezuela’s US puppet, self-declared President Juan Guaidó. They were followed by Nicaragua, Bolivia, and Mexico. Uruguay did not return to the meeting although the other countries did. Almagro is from Uruguay. He has been expelled by his party over his unprofessional behavior with regard to Venezuela. Lack of support from his own country ought to deal a death blow to his re-election chances, although his current reign has so damaged the regional body’s institutionality that anything could happen. Valdrack Jaentschke, head of Nicaragua’s OAS delegation said, “In the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela there is a democratically elected constitutional government led by President Nicolás Maduro Moros,” he said.

July 3, 2019 By James Daly, Ph.D, Dreams of the Common Man Educate! US Regime Change, Venezuela

This article describes a new stage in the escalation of the consistently failing US coup attempts in Venezuela. Every coup attempt has failed thus far but the US is not giving up. This most recent coup attempt involving the US, Colombia, and Israel would have been a bloody massacre of civilians and government leaders. They intended to kill President Maduro and his wife, the President of National Constituent Assembly Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello, generals, leaders of social movements and civilians. The 14-month investigation that uncovered and stopped this coup is another coup failure by the US but it shows how violent the US is willing to become to take over the Venezuelan government

How Many Coups (And Lives) Will It Take Before The US Surrenders In Venezuela?

July 1, 2019 Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese, Clearing the FOG. Podcast Oil, Revolution, US coup, Venezuela

Venezuela used to be an "oil republic," which made oil executives from the United States and the wealthy class in Venezuela very rich. That lasted until the election of Hugo Chavez in 1998 when the Bolivarian Process began and oil profits were used to provide for basic needs of all the people. Ever since then, the US and its allies have used everything they have to overthrow the revolution, but like Cuba, the people have resisted, despite great suffering being inflicted on them, and the US has failed. We speak with Dan Kovalik about his newest book, "The Plot to Overthrow Venezuela" and the tremendous resistance of the Venezuelan people. We also cover some recent news and have a tribute to Bruce Dixon, co-founder and editor of Black Agenda Report, who died last week of cancer.
