Venezuela – U.S. Aid Gambit Fails – War Plans Lack Support

February 9, 2019 Staff, Moonofalabama.org Educate! Latin America, US Imperialism, Venezuela

A day after the U.S. coup attempt in Venezuela the U.S. game plan was already quite obvious: The opposition in Venezuela will probably use access to that 'frozen' money to buy weapons and to create an army of mercenaries to fight a 'civil' war against the government and its followers. Like in Syria U.S. special forces or some CIA 'contractors' will be eager to help. The supply line for such a war would most likely run through Colombia. If, like 2011 in Syria, a war on the ground is planned it will likely begin in the cities near that border.

Time To Mobilize: Transportation Centers Announced For Hands Off Venezuela Nat’l March

February 8, 2019 Staff, ANSWER Coalition Resist! US Regime Change, Venezuela

Trump has always said that the “mistake” of the Middle East wars was that the U.S. didn’t “take the oil.” It is time to stand up and with a clear voice say NO to the newest example of the “Monroe Doctrine,” which the U.S. government has used for over two centuries to repeatedly invade Latin America and the Caribbean, control its politics and extract its resources. The White House aims to overthrow the government of President Nicolás Maduro and replace him with Juan Guaidó. Guaidó is a U.S.-trained operative who was unknown to the vast majority of Venezuelans before he proclaimed himself president.

Coup President, Juan Guaido, Doesn’t Have a Constitutional Leg to Stand On

February 8, 2019 Roger Harris, Popular Resistance Educate! Juan Guaido, US Regime Change, Venezuela

Donald Trump imagines Juan Guaidó is the rightful president of Venezuela. Mr. Guaidó, a man of impeccable illegitimacy. The Guaidó/Trump cabal’s fig leaf for legitimacy is based on the bogus argument that Article 233 of the Venezuelan constitution gives the National Assembly the power to declare a national president’s “abandonment” of the office. In which case, the president of the National Assembly can serve as an interim national president, until presidential elections are held. The inconvenient truth is that Maduro has shown no inclination to abandon his post, and the constitution says no such thing.

Venezuela February 23: Global Day of Action

February 7, 2019 Staff, No War On Venezuela Resist! US Regime Change, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

The weekend of Saturday, February 23 – the 1 month anniversary of the U.S.-backed coup attempt in Venezuela – has been set as a day of internationally coordinated actions in solidarity with the people of Venezuela and against the U.S., Wall Street, and the Pentagon’s drive to war. Now is an urgent time to mobilize as much solidarity with the people of Venezuela as they come under greater threat by Wall Street, the Pentagon, the U.S. and its allies. Actions of all kinds are needed on February 23 to send a strong message of solidarity and oppose the U.S. drive to war against Venezuela. Actions are being planned for that day, and the days immediately before and after. An initial listing of actions can be found on the website. www.NoWarOnVenezuela.org/23feb

Nicolás Maduro: An Open Letter To The People Of The United States

February 7, 2019 Nicolás Maduro, Facebook Resist! Nicolas Maduro, US Regime Change, Venezuela

There are days that will define the future of our countries between war and peace. Your national representatives of Washington want to bring to their borders the same hatred that they planted in Vietnam. They want to invade and intervene in Venezuela - they say, as they said then - in the name of democracy and freedom. But it's not like that. The history of the usurpation of power in Venezuela is as false as the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. It is a false case, but it can have dramatic consequences for our entire region.

On Venezuela And NATO, The Democratic Party Is The “Assistance” Not The “Resistance” To Empire

February 7, 2019 Danny Haiphong, Blackagendareport.com Educate! Electoral Politics, NATO, Venezuela

The Trump Administration has pursued an open-air coup against the socialist government of Venezuela , with Pence and company nominating the unelected oligarch Juan Guaido as “interim” president of the oil-rich nation. Guaido resides in a National Assembly stock full of white racist oligarchs seeking to overthrow the rule of Bolivarian socialism. The Venezuelan Supreme Court ruled the decisions of the National Assembly illegitimate earlier in 2019 and the people of Venezuela elected President Maduro with sixty-eight percent of the vote in an election that was boycotted by the rightwing opposition in 2017.

The conference will foster a platform for respectful negotiations between Venezuela and its opposition. The agenda for the “Montevideo Mechanism” being held in Uruguay on Thursday will be a four part process, foreign ministers said Wednesday. International delegates were directed to a press conference lead by Uruguayan Foreign Minister Rodolfo Nin Novoa and Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrand where they presented a brief outline of the meeting. Held in hopes to mediate the domestic turmoil between Venezuelan opposition forces and the legitimate Nicolas Maduro administration, the conference will be broken into four segments, the foreign ministers said.

Venezuela: The U.S.’s 68th Regime Change Disaster

February 7, 2019 Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies, Counterpunch.org Educate! Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

In his masterpiece, Killing Hope: U.S. Military and C.I.A. Interventions Since World War II, William Blum, who died in December 2018, wrote chapter-length accounts of 55 U.S. regime change operations against countries around the world, from China (1945-1960s) to Haiti (1986-1994). Noam Chomsky’s blurb on the back of the latest edition says simply, “Far and away the best book on the topic.” We agree. If you have not read it, please do. It will give you a clearer context for what is happening in Venezuela today, and a better understanding of the world you are living in.

Venezuela: US Pursuing Humanitarian Aid Path To War

February 5, 2019 Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers, Popular Resistance Educate! US Regime Change, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

The United States has been working with oligarchs in Venezuela to remove President Maduro since he came to office in 2013 after the death of Hugo Chavez and was re-elected that year. After he won re-election to another six-year term in 2018, the regime change planners sought new strategies to remove Maduro, including an assassination attempt last August. The coup campaign escalated recently with the self-appointment of president Juan Guaido, who President Trump and US allies have recognized. Now, the ongoing coup attempt is escalating through a strategy of humanitarian intervention.

U.S. Southern Command In Colombia Along The Border, Venezuela Military Moves, U.S. Pulls Out Of INF Treaty; Russia Threatens U.S; China Calls For Calm.

February 5, 2019 By Aaron Kesel, Activistpost.com Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Latin America, US Imperialism, Venezuela

According to a State Department source, corroborated by a video news report, U.S. troops are already along Colombia’s border. This comes as Venezuela has reportedly moved military armaments and ammunition to Colombia’s border as well. Meanwhile, Russia has threatened the U.S. amid announcing its withdrawal from the Cold War Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, following suit by suspending the agreement. Although it’s not 5,000 troops along the border; a source said the U.S. was propagandizing 5,000 troops on John Bolton’s notepad to hide a larger troop count of 30,000+ proposed to Colombia.

Twitter Erupts After 2,000 Pro-Venezuelan Accounts Are Deleted

February 5, 2019 Staff, Telesurenglish.net Educate! Censorship, Social Media, Twitter, US Imperialism, Venezuela

A total of 1,196 social media accounts based in Venezuela suspected of “influencing domestic audiences.” Nearly 2,000 pro-Venezuelan Twitter accounts have been removed for “engaging in a state-backed influence campaign,” the social media company said in a blog post on Thursday. A total of 1,196 social media accounts based in Venezuela suspected of attempting to “influence domestic audiences” were purged last week. Another 764 accounts were deleted, although the San Francisco-based company told users, “We are unable to definitively tie the accounts located in Venezuela to information operations of a foreign government against another country.”

The Demonstration That Will Not Be Televised

February 5, 2019 Roberto Malaver, Conelmazodando.com.ve Educate! Electoral Politics, Latin America, Protests, Venezuela

Thousands of men and women defenders of the country gathered on Bolivar Avenue on Saturday, in Caracas, to give strong support to President Nicolás Maduro, and to tell the world, especially Donald Trump, that Venezuela has to be respected. From early in the morning, Bolívar Avenue began to fill with people who arrived and greeted each other and embraced each other, with the Venezuelan flag in their hands. They waved it in the wind, cheerful and with the conviction to come out in the street to defend their homeland. Meanwhile in Las Mercedes, in eastern Caracas, opposition people also gathered in Plaza Alfredo Sadel to support Trump. A U.S. flag was displayed on the stage as a demonstration of their love for that country.

The Rise Of A Fake President In Venezuela

On January 23 2019, Juan Guaidó, the current president of the defunct Venezuelan National Assembly, pronounced himself the president of the country. The United States, Canada, the European Union and a few Latin American countries immediately recognized him, while Russia, China, Mexico and many other countries support the democratically-elected current president, Nicolas Maduro. How did this relatively unknown man who barely won his race for the assembly rise to the position of fake president? We discuss that and more with Dan Cohen of The Grayzone Project.

A Nonviolent Strategy To Defeat The US Coup Attempt In Venezuela

February 2, 2019 By Robert J. Burrowes, Popular Resistance Strategize! Nicolas Maduro, Nonviolence, US Regime Change, Venezuela

To the People of Venezuela: Given your existing and ongoing resistance to the coup in defense of your elected government, I would like to offer another avenue of support for you to consider. My support, if you like, to plan and implement a comprehensive nonviolent strategy to defeat the coup. So what is required? I have explained in detail how to formulate and implement a strategy for defeating coup attempts such as this in the book The Strategy of Nonviolent Defense: A Gandhian Approach. The chances of success are vastly enhanced if your struggle, and that of your solidarity allies around the world, is focused for maximum strategic impact and designed to spread the cost of doing so. Remember, it is you who will decide the fate of Venezuela. Not the US elite and not even your President and government.

The ‘Venezuelan People’ Are Whoever Agrees With Donald Trump

February 2, 2019 By Alan MacLeod, Fair.org Educate! Latin America, Regime Change, Trump Administration, Venezuela

The latest bizarre episode in the Trump presidency is currently playing out in Venezuela. Just weeks after President Nicolás Maduro’s inauguration, Trump officially recognized Juan Guaidó, the 35-year-old head of the National Assembly—a man who has never even run for president—as the rightful head of state. A White House statement (1/29/19) announced, “President Trump stands with the people of Venezuela as they demand democracy, human rights and prosperity denied to them by Maduro,” noting that the “people” had “courageously spoken out,” and that the US would pursue increased sanctions on the country.
