Fallacies And Inaccuracies About Venezuelan Migration

With so many politically charged figures knocking around about Venezuelan emigration and a so-called “exodus”, who should we believe? A narrative has been increasingly positioned in the press for the past two or three years concerning the "exodus" of Venezuelans as a result of the "humanitarian crisis" that stems from the economic war and the financial siege against Venezuela. The mainstream media and global propaganda outlets are saying that more than 2 million people have left Venezuela. The fact that this incomplete information is allowed to circulate is only further evidence of our "post-truth" world, where there is no objective truth that can be clarified other than that which is validated by merely being news.

Venezuela Deploys Advanced S-300VM Missile Systems To Protect Capital Amid Growing U.S. Threats

Venezuela’s armed forces have reportedly redeployed additional S-300 missile batteries to military facilities near the capital Caracas to provide full coverage against potential air strikes, in response to a perceived threat of attack from the United States. The air defence missile batteries, command centres and radars were deployed to the Captain Manuel Rios Airbase. Venezuela currently operates several units of the S-300VM surface to air missile system, the second most advanced S-300 variant after the S-300V4, which is particularly specialised in intercepting ballistic and cruise missile attacks.

Venezuela: Peace Is Possible

I arrived in Caracas Venezuela on March 10th 2019 with Margaret Flowers & Kevin Zeese after the three of us had to scramble to find alternatives flights to Venezuela via COPA Airlines, Panama to Caracas. The reason we sought alternative flights was because American Airlines cancelled our flights from Miami to Caracas fearing reported power outages. The electricity blackout was real but flights were still operational during daytime hours as we were soon to find out. We were determined to join our place as delegates on the U.S. Peace Council and to witness for ourselves the extent of U.S. Corporate Media reports of massive civil unrest...

Hands Off Venezuela

We just returned from a week-long visit with a peace delegation to Venezuela. Please join us for a livestream report this Thursday at 7 p.m. EST. View the livestream at the Facebook page of NJ Revolutionary Radio. When we talked with Venezuelans they told us how pleased they were people from the United States were in Venezuela and could see what was really happening in their country. They wanted us to return to the United States and tell the truth about Venezuela — that is exactly what we will be doing.

How Venezuelans Are Holding Their Own Against US Imperialism

The United States and its allies are waging a long term battle for Venezuela's abundant resources, which include oil, gas, gold, diamonds and minerals. The Venezuelan government, through the Bolivarian Process, is trying to use those resources to meet the needs of its people for housing, education, health care, food and more. We speak with Paul Dobson, a resident of Venezuela and journalist, about how Venezuelans are organized to resist the escalating attacks by the US and its allies and how US efforts are backfiring by consolidating support for the democratically-elected President, Nicolás Maduro.

No War On Venezuela, March 30, 1 PM At The White House

This week, Foreign Ministers of NATO Nations are coming to Washington, DC. On their agenda is war and military action against Venezuela.  Antiwar activists will be there in force to show them the people oppose military action and regime change against Venezuela. A week of actions begins on March 30 in Lafayette Park and continues until protests at the US State Department on April 4 where NATO will be meeting.

Pathological Deceit: The NYT Inverts Reality On Venezuela’s Cuban Doctors

After debunking Washington’s lies about the burning of “humanitarian aid” trucks on the Venezuelan/Colombian border (more than two weeks after being scooped by independent journalists), the New York Times quickly reverted to form in an article by Nicholas Casey headlined “‘It is Unspeakable’: How Maduro Used Cuban Doctors to Coerce Voters” (3/1/19). As the title not-so-subtly suggests, Casey claimed to present bombshell revelations regarding the Nicolás Maduro government’s alleged weaponization of Cuban medical personnel as a means of holding on to power.

How The Media Distort News From Venezuela

Most of the reporters are echoing the lines of the Trump Administration -- as if anything Trump says is credible. Whenever officials in Washington, D.C. set out to overthrow a foreign government, mainstream US media outlets are there to give a helping hand. All pretense of fairness and balance disappear in favor of outrageous distortion. For the most recent example, let’s look at Venezuela. Both high-level Republicans and Democrats have decided it’s time for Venezuela, with the world’s largest oil reserves, to rejoin the US sphere of influence. Hawks may call for direct military intervention while doves seek punishing sanctions, but all agree that the elected government of President Nicolas Maduro has got to go.

International Trade Unions Condemn Recognition Of Guaidó

More than 60 countries have recognized Juan Guaidó as legitimate interim president. But among international trade unions, support for Venezuelan self-determination is resolute . On January 23, the leader of the National Assembly, Juan Guaidó, declared himself  interim president of Venezuela. His claim on the presidency was immediately recognized by the United States who, through Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, called for the world to “pick a side”.

Russian Troops, Aid Arrive In Venezuela After Delivering Red Line Warning To Trump

One of those warnings delivered by Ryabkov is understood to have been that no American military intervention in Venezuela will be tolerated by Moscow. For his part, Abrams sounded as if he had emerged from the meeting after having been given a severe reprimand. “No, we did not come to a meeting of minds, but I think the talks were positive in the sense that both sides emerged with a better understanding of the other’s views,” he told reporters. “A better understanding of the other’s views,” means that the American side was given a red line to back off.

Huge Defeat For Imperialists: The U.S. Broke Its Teeth In Venezuela

Before this day, the U.S. government and their allies, including Canada, thought that their puppet, self-declared “interim President” Juan Guaidó, still had a chance. The U.S. government made a callous bet that the installation of Guaidó, together with a cruel and illegal sanctions campaign against Venezuela would be enough to force the people of Venezuela to overthrow the democratically elected government of President Nicolas Maduro. However, they were badly wrong. The heroic people of Venezuela have stood up in defence of their sovereignty, self-determination, and their President, Nicolas Maduro.

Ex-UN Human Rights Expert Blasts ‘Manipulation’ on Venezuela: ‘We Are Swimming in an Ocean of Lies’

Former United Nations human rights expert and top legal scholar has harshly criticized the international body’s reporting on Venezuela, calling it “unprofessional,” politicized, and unfairly slanted in favor of the country’s right-wing opposition. “We are swimming in an ocean of lies,” explained Alfred de Zayas. “When I went to Venezuela, I expected to find a humanitarian crisis.” “I was predetermined to find a humanitarian crisis,” he continued. “I walked the streets, I spoke to people of all kinds, and that was not the case. “That means I had been manipulated. I had been lied to.

US And Puppet Guaido Implicated In Terrorism Plot

The arrest of Guaido’s ‘chief of staff,’ Roberto Marrero, earlier in the week was tied to the terrorism plans described in the article below. They report eight to ten teams of assassins, brought from Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador that were trained in Colombia to carry out terrorist acts in Venezuela. They planned selective assassinations of high-profile figures of the Venezuelan State, and attacks on the country's public services. Half these groups had entered the country others were blocked by the shutdown of the borders.

US Withholding $5 Billion Of Medical Supplies In ‘Criminal’ Measure

Merida – The US government is withholding US $5 billion which was meant for the purchase of medicines and raw materials used in medical production, President Nicolas Maduro claimed Wednesday. Speaking from Miranda State, Maduro denounced that US authorities “have ‘kidnapped’ US $5 billion [in] one of the most criminal, brutal, fascist economic measures which has been seen in the economic history of the world.” “Trump is the person responsible,” he added. US and European governments have been working on freezing Venezuelan assets in recent months...

US Sanctions Venezuelan Development Bank, Response To Arrest Of Guaido’s ‘Terrorist’ Aide

The US Treasury has imposed sanctions on Venezuela's Economic and Social Development Bank and on four other institutions affiliated with it, calling in its statement for the release of Juan Guaido's Chief of Staff Roberto Marrero. Venezuelan authorities arrested the chief of staff to ‘interim president’ Juan Guaido on Thursday during a raid on a "terrorist cell" that planned attacks on the country's officials. The government also released images of two rifles allegedly seized by the Venezuelan Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN) during the raid on Marrero’s house.
