April 25, 2019 Anya Parampil, Thegrayzone.com Resist! Latin America, OAS, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

On April 23, the Venezuelan lawyer and opposition activist Gustavo Tarre stood outside the Simon Bolivar room inside the Organization of American States (OAS) in Washington DC and fielded friendly questions from reporters. It was a rare day of celebration for the Venezuelan opposition, which had been deprived of concrete victories since launching their coup with US backing in January. Having just been installed with as Venezuela’s “ambassador” at the OAS, Tarre controlled little more than the chair he sat in. But as he was trotted out into the hall by a young handler in order to hold his first press-conference as “ambassador,” he beamed with pride.

April 24, 2019 Kevin Zeese, Popular Resistance Resist! US Regime Change, Venezuela

We have told the State Department that if they enter the Venezuelan Embassy they are violating international law and if they arrest members of the Collective for trespass or unlawful entry these will be unlawful arrests. Members of the Collective are in the embassy with the permission of the elected government of Venezuela. In two messages to the State Department today, the Collective explained that we are not violating the law and if there are unlawful arrests we will pursue legal action to hold people responsible for ordering arrests or making arrests. We are prepared for the Secret Service and DC police to come to the embassy tomorrow and are not intimidated by their threats. We know that we are not violating any laws.

On March 18, opposition leader Juan Guaido's people took over the Venezuelan consulate in New York City and the military attaché office in Washington, DC. They announced they will take over the Venezuelan embassy in Washington, DC next. Activists, with permission of the legitimate Venezuelan government, have been staying at the embassy 24/7 for over two weeks now to protect it from opposition people entering. They may attempt to do so as soon as April 25. The US is setting a new precedent by failing a coup attempt but pretending it succeeded and turning assets over to the opposition anyway. We speak with Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODE PINK, who is staying with us in the embassy.

April 23, 2019 Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers, Popular Resistance Resist! Nicolas Maduro, US Regime Change, Venezuela

The next two days will be crucial for the protection of the Venezuelan embassy in Washington, DC. The Embassy Protection Collective is prepared to stay at the embassy for the foreseeable future, for as long as it takes to protect the sovereignty of Venezuela from a US coup by the United States with a fraudulent puppet government that the entire world is a farce -- unelected and illegal under Venezuelan law. We stand with the Venezuelan government and their legitimately elected president, Nicolas Maduro. People can support the Collective by joining inside or outside of the embassy. A strong show of public support will prevent the takeover of the embassy. There are many levels of risk people can take to show their solidarity.

“Imperialism Does Not Understand The Resistance Of The Venezuelan People”

April 19, 2019 Carlos Aznarez, Resumen-english.org Resist! Latin America, US Imperialism, Venezuela

In the first place, we must not ignore that there exists a complex situation in Venezuela economically, even politically, because of the offensive that is taking place, the important thing is to identify the causes that are behind this situation. We know that since 1999, when Chávez’s mandate began, Venezuela became an unusual and extraordinary threat, not because we have the newest weapons in the world, but because we confront imperialism and resolve to be independent and sovereign. Since that moment we have been attacked and the attack intensified since 2013.

April 15, 2019 "Information Clearing House" - Over the past half decade, a small army of US analysts, politicians, academics and media pundits have been predicting the imminent fall, overthrow, defeat and replacement of the Venezuelan government. They have been wrong on all counts, in each and every attempt to foist a US client regime.

US Military Threatens Syria-Like War In Venezuela, Awaits Trump’s Order

April 14, 2019 Telesur. Educate! US Imperialism, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

The United States is ready to attack Venezuela by the end of the year, according to U.S. Southern Commander Craig S. Faller. The U.S. is particularly concerned over growing Chinese, Russian and Cuban influence in its hemisphere. U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton stated in an interview that "President Trump is determined not to see Venezuela fall under the sway of foreign powers." He has a custom of refering to the racist Monroe Doctrine, which considers Latin America to be the U.S. own backyard where it can do as it pleases.

April 12, 2019 Marjorie Cohn, Truthdig.com Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

In January, Juan Guaidó declared himself “interim president,” in a strategy orchestrated by the United States to seize power from President Nicolás Maduro. In March, Guaidó announced that “Operation Freedom,” an organization established to overthrow the Maduro government, would take certain “tactical actions” beginning on April 6. Part of the plan anticipates that the Venezuelan military will turn against Maduro.
