What Lies Behind Trump’s Attacks Against Venezuela?

August 13, 2025 Francisco Dominguez, Morning Star. Educate! Latin America, Nicolas Maduro, Trump Administration, US Imperialism, Venezuela

As if President Trump intended to meet professional US mercenary Erik Prince half way, US Attorney General Pam Bondi increased the existing US bounty on President Nicolas Maduro — originally set at $15 million — from $25m to $50m for anyone providing “information leading to his arrest or conviction.” In late 2024, Prince, a professional mercenary, alongside Venezuela’s far right, promoted a plan to deploy a private army to Venezuela. He suggested that if the US raised the bounty on Maduro’s head to $100 million, targeting not only the president but also Diosdado Cabello and the entire government, they could “just sit back and wait for the magic to happen.” Prince and Venezuela’s far right even launched a crowdfunding campaign, Ya Casi Venezuela (“Almost There, Venezuela”), to collect the $100 million.

Through a message posted Sunday, August 10, on social media, Colombian President Gustavo Petro reaffirmed his strong support for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. This followed recent threats from the Trump administration against the Venezuelan government, which is trying to link Maduro with drug trafficking, and the discovery by Bolivarian authorities of arsenals of weapons belonging to terrorist groups linked to the extreme right. Petro emphatically declared that “Colombia and Venezuela are the same people, the same flag, the same history.” He emphasized that “any military operation that is not approved by our sister countries is an aggression against Latin America and the Caribbean.”

US Increases Bounty On President Nicolás Maduro To $50 Million

August 9, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. Educate! Bolivarian Revolution, Nicolas Maduro, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The Venezuelan government has said that the increase in the reward for the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro by US Attorney General Pam Bondi is “ridiculous” and that it is part of a “propaganda operation” and a “desperate distraction” from the internal problems facing the United States. Bondi published a video on August 7, announcing that the US Department of Justice and Department of State are offering USD 50 million for “information leading to the arrest of Nicolás Maduro”. This is not the first time the US government has tried to pressure the Bolivarian government in this way. In 2020, the US Department of Justice offered USD 15 million for Maduro’s arrest. The accusations were based on alleged acts of “narco-terrorism” by the Venezuelan government.

Since the imposition of illegal coercive measures (euphemistically referred to as sanctions) by the US and its allies on Venezuela in 2014, and after 11 years with a burden of 1,041 Unilateral Coercive Measures (MCU) on the nation, which places it between the fifth and sixth most sanctioned country in the world depending on the source, the country has once again reduced the hunger that appeared amid the economic, financial, and commercial blockade perpetrated against the national government as part of the war to stifle the economy, prevent the supply of essential goods, and negatively impact food security and sovereignty, with the goal of imposing the failed regime change.

This followed a negotiation involving the handover of 10 US nationals prosecuted for crimes against national security and some imprisoned far-right politicians.

What July 5th Taught Me That July 4th Never Did

July 2, 2025 Michelle Ellner, Counter Punch. Educate! Bolivarian Revolution, Failed State, Fourth of July, Independence Day, Venezuela

Growing up in Venezuela and now living in the United States, I’ve always felt caught between two independence days: July 4th and July 5th. Two celebrations. Two flags. Two very different ideas of what it means to be free. In the U.S., the Fourth of July comes with fireworks, parades, and an almost unquestioned belief in the righteousness of the revolution it commemorates. But in Venezuela, July 5th conjures up different thoughts. It is not just a break from colonial rule but the beginning of a long, unfinished struggle to define freedom on our own terms. It’s not something we inherited. It’s something we’re still fighting for.

On Monday, June 30, Venezuelan United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) Deputy Jorge Rodríguez condemned the “kidnapping” of 18 minors in the United States. He showed photographs of several children who remain detained by the US government, despite formal requests for their liberation by Venezuelan authorities. Rodríguez demanded that the UN high commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, and the UN resident coordinator in Venezuela, Gianluca Rampolla del Tindaro, at least speak out on behalf of the 18 minors kidnapped in the US. He also demanded the release of the 252 Venezuelans in El Salvador, “held against their will, without the right to defense, without due process, and in clear violation of international law,” Rodríguez added.

Cecosesola And The Art Of Commoning Within Capitalist Markets

One of the most singular and accomplished commons I’ve ever encountered is Cecosesola, a federation of Venezuelan cooperatives. The remarkable federation artfully manages multiple ventures as commons while deeply immersed within a system of capitalist markets. Founded in 1967 in the state of Lara in Venezuela, Cecosesola got its start when working-class people in poorest barrios of the region organized to set aside money every month to build their own cooperatives. G Nearly sixty years later, Cecosesola now coordinates a wide variety of enterprises. It works with farmers to supply 800 tons of vegetables to large urban produce markets serving 100,000 people a week.

Relatives of Venezuelan migrants detained in El Salvador for 100 days reported this Tuesday, June 24, to the Secretariat of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, on the violations of individual rights faced by the detained migrants. “We were received and heard individually and collectively, we presented our cases, 252 broken families, our relatives were violated and taken to a CECOT prison in an arbitrary manner, there was no notification, it was under deception, without due process,” declared Mairelys Cacique, who belongs to the committee of relatives of Venezuelan migrants detained in the Central American country.

On the eve of Venezuela’s presidential election on 29th July 2024, Guardian correspondents, Tiago Rogero (based in Rio de Janeiro) and Sam Jones (based in Madrid) predicted the vote “could end 25 years of socialist rule.” It did not. The following, 30 July, another group of Guardian correspondents gave prominent coverage to far-right wing Venezuelan politician Maria Corina Machado, quoting her claim that “Maduro’s exit was inevitable.” Yet, Nicolas Maduro was inaugurated as the re-elected president for the 2025-2031 term on 10 January 2025. The July 2024 presidential election was followed by the election for National Assembly deputies and all 24 governorships of Venezuela’s federal structure on 25 May 2025.

The auction of CITGO Petroleum, a key subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) in the United States and illegally seized by the US government, is in its final stages, marking a crucial moment not only for Venezuela but also for other countries with investments in the US. According to recent reports, the judicial process, which will culminate in the illegal sale of Citgo, is continuing despite protests from President Nicolás Maduro’s government. The company, which owns strategic refineries in Texas, Louisiana, and Illinois, represents Venezuela’s most valuable asset outside its borders, with a significant pipeline network and more than 4,000 gas stations in the United States.

Why Washington Targets Iran And Venezuela: Empire, Energy, Ideology

June 19, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Iran, Revolution, US Sanctions, Venezuela

Venezuela and Iran hold the largest and third-largest petroleum reserves in the world, respectively. Both have also been targeted for regime change by Washington. The two commonalities are not unrelated. Of course, the world’s hegemon would like to get its hands on all their oil. But it would be simplistic to think that would be only for narrow economic reasons. Control over energy flows – especially from countries with large reserves – is central to maintaining global influence. Washington requires control of strategic resources to maintain its position as the global hegemon, guided by its official policy of “full spectrum dominance.”

Washington Targets Achievements Of Cuba, Nicaragua, And Venezuela

June 12, 2025 John Perry and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Marco Rubio, Nicaragua, Social Programs, Venezuela

“We look for the poorest patients,” the Cuban doctor in charge of the eye clinic said. “Often we travel to remote rural areas and bring them to the clinic in a bus.” The clinic, in Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua, was part of Misión Milagro (Miracle Mission), run jointly by the Cuban and Venezuelan governments. The larger mission has treated over seven million patients in 33 countries since 2004. Local Nicaraguan doctors, trained by the Cubans, are now in charge in Ciudad Sandino. Misión Milagro is despised by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Washington has imposed sanctions on officials in countries using this and other Cuban medical missions. Supposedly aimed at stopping the “trafficking” of medical staff, the real intent is to destroy services that have proved immensely popular for their free, high-quality treatment, often in remote areas with few health facilities.
