Correcting The False Narrative On Venezuela & Humanitarian Aid

February 15, 2019 Chuck Kaufman, AFGJ Educate! economic sanctions, US Regime Change, Venezuela

The most immediate humanitarian aid that could be provided by the United States and Canada would be to drop the sanctions. The European Union and the United States plan to send $60 million in aid, despite the fact that the Venezuelan government is demanding the return of more than $23 billion dollars to Venezuela that is frozen in accounts being held in the U.S., Canada, and Europe that they consider stolen from their public treasury. This money could have been spent on the necessary importation of food and medicine for the benefit of the entire population.

Inside The Neoliberal Laboratory Mobilizing For Regime Change In Venezuela — And Preparing For The Theft Of Its Economy

As we watch a U.S.-backed coup unfold in a distant country, as in Venezuela today, our eyes are drawn to the diplomatic, military, and economic elements of the U.S. campaign. The picture of a scowling John Bolton with a big yellow notepad with the message “5,000 troops to Colombia” reveals the diplomatic and military elements. The New York Times headline “U.S. Sanctions Are Aimed at Venezuela’s Oil. Its Citizens May Suffer First” reveals the economic element. But U.S. foreign policy mobilizes every available resource for regime change and for counterinsurgency.

US Air Freight Company That Smuggled Weapons Into Venezuela Linked To CIA “Black Site” Renditions

GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA – Two executives at the company that chartered the U.S. plane that was caught smuggling weapons into Venezuela last week have been tied to an air cargo company that aided the CIA in the rendition of alleged terrorists to “black site” centers for interrogation. The troubling revelation comes as Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has rejected a U.S. “humanitarian aid” convoy over concerns that it could contain weapons meant to arm the country’s U.S.-backed opposition.

Elliott Abrams Exposed In Congress, Chairman Says No War On Venezuela

February 14, 2019 Kevin Zeese, Popular Resistance Resist! Elliot Abrams, US Regime Change, Venezuela

The past of Elliot Abrams took center stage when he testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on February 13, 2019. The combination of protests over his past war crimes and past perjury along with the tough questioning by Rep. Ilan Oman resulted in Abrams being publicly shamed on national television. The controversy over the US coup even forced the right-wing chairman of the Committee, Eliot L. Engel, to pronounce his opposition to US military action in Venezuela.

Imperialist Aggression & What We Can Learn From The Attempted Coup Against Venezuela

February 14, 2019 Alison Bodine, Firethistime.net Educate! coup, Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

On January 23, 2019 Juan Guaido declared himself to be the “acting President” of Venezuela. He was immediately recognized as the interim President of Venezuela by the United States government, followed in quick succession by the government of Canada, and right-wing governments in Latin America. In order to achieve his new-found executive status, Guaido didn’t need to win the support of the majority of the people in Venezuela, let alone even run in any election. In order to get this appointment, all that he had to do was pledge allegiance to his bosses at the U.S. capital, Washington, DC.

Patrick Lawrence: In Venezuela, US Forgets What Century It Is

February 14, 2019 By Patrick Lawrence, Patricklawrence.us Educate! Latin America, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The Venezuela crisis worsens by the day. Early last week the U.S. sanctioned PdVSA, the state-owned oil company, by sequestering income from U.S. sales in a blocked bank account. On Sunday President Donald Trump confirmed in a television interview that deploying American troops is “an option.” Little of what Washington has done in the weeks since it recognized an opposition legislator, Juan Guaidó, as Venezuela’s “interim president” has any basis in international law. But there is much worse to come and much more at risk if the U.S. follows through with its recently disclosed plans to reshape Latin American politics to its neoliberal liking.

US And Allies Steal $23 Billion, Offer $60 Million In ‘Humanitarian Aid’

February 13, 2019 Bill Hackwell, Resumen-english.org Educate! Humanitarian Aid, Latin America, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The first trucks carrying the so called humanitarian aid for Venezuela have arrived at the Colombian border city of Cúcuta where a standoff is taking place. Together the European Union and the United States plan to send $60 million in aid, despite the fact that the Venezuelan government is demanding the return of more than $23 billion dollars frozen in accounts being held in the U.S., Canada and Europe that they consider stolen from their public treasury; money that could have been spent on the necessary import of food and medicine for the benefit of the entire population.

The North-South Struggle Is A Class Struggle: Venezuela Is The Latest Example

February 12, 2019 Harry Targ, Heartlandradical.blogspot.com Educate! Capitalism, Class Struggle, Venezuela

“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles,” Marx and Engels proclaimed in The Communist Manifesto. All of their work was designed to elaborate on the meaning of this one sentence. Under capitalism, one class, the capitalists, own and/or control the means of production and the other class, the workers, produce goods and services that maintain the conditions for human survival. What workers produce becomes commodities for sale in the marketplace. And the capitalists then appropriate the lion’s share of the value produced by workers.

Red Cross Of Colombia: US Action To Venezuela Is Not ‘Humanitarian Aid’

February 11, 2019 Staff, Brasil247.com Educate! Humanitarian Aid, US Regime Change, Venezuela

The head of the delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Colombia, Christoph Harnisch, said that the institution would not participate in the distribution of any assistance that arrives in Venezuela from the United States since it considers that it is not "humanitarian." The US government does not meet the criteria of being independent, impartial and neutral.

Western Media Fall In Lockstep For Cheap Trump/Rubio Venezuela Aid PR Stunt

February 11, 2019 Adam Johnson, Fair.org Educate! Corporate Media, Latin America, Propaganda, US Imperialism, Venezuela

All of the above articles—and scores more like it—repeated the same script: Maduro was blocking aid from the US “out of refusal to relinquish power,” preferring to starve “his own people” rather than feed them. It’s a simple case of good and evil—of a tyrannical, paranoid dictator not letting in aid to feed a starving population. Except three pieces of key context are missing. Context that, when presented to a neutral observer, would severely undermine the cartoonish narrative being advanced by US media.

Black Working Class Will Never Abandon Venezuela!

We must remind our people that over 150 million Africans live throughout the so-called Americas. We especially must raise this reality at critical moments like this when the corporate media and establishment opinion is legitimizing U.S. gangsterism that could kill thousands of people in Venezuela. Afro-Venezuelans contacted Black Alliance for Peace to ask us to remind our people in the United States that military forces will target Afro-Venezuelans if a military intervention occurs because they represent a core constituency of the Bolivarian revolutionary process in Venezuela.

What Is The AFL-CIO’s Solidarity Center Doing In Venezuela

February 10, 2019 James Patrick Jordan, AFGJ Educate! NED, US Regime Change, Venezuela

The NED-funded Solidarity Center–the AFL-CIO’s organization for acting around the world–has long been active in Venezuela, and not usually for good effect. We demand that the Solidarity Center open their books, and honestly report about their current operations in that country. We have a right to know what if any role the Solidarity Center has played in the current march toward regime change in Venezuela. We have a right to know what kind of relationship the Solidarity Center has today with the CTV and other labor bodies, and in what ways it may be aiding economic sabotage. If the Solidarity Center is innocent of any wrongdoing, then it should open its books and show us.

NATIONAL MOBILIZATION U.S. Hands off Venezuela! March 30, 2019

February 10, 2019 Staff, No2NATO Resist! NATO, Venezuela

A broad coalition of anti-war groups in the U.S. and around the world are organizing a national and international mobilization calling for an end to NATO, an end to war and an end to racism, beginning with a march on Washington, D.C. on March 30th, 2019. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the formation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the extended arm of U.S. military aggression around the world. Because of the crisis in Venezuela the rally will have a focus on Venezuela.

Hypocrisy As Human Rights Crisis Grows In Colombia But US-Colombia Threaten Venezuela

February 9, 2019 By Whitney Webb, Mintpressnews.com Educate! Colombia, Latin America, US Imperialism, Venezuela

BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA (Analysis) — Several troubling situations are currently playing out across Colombia, yet the country’s continuing downward spiral into drug-fueled and politically-motivated violence has caused little concern in Washington, offering yet another clear indication that the U.S.’ current posturing on Venezuela is hardly motivated by concerns about “democracy,” “human rights,” or the welfare of the Venezuelan people. This, of course, can hardly be considered surprising, given that Colombia is a top U.S. ally whose government has long been closely aligned with Washington’s interests.
