In Venezuela probeert een zekere Guaidó een coup te plegen. Deze trekpop wordt gesteund door de VS, Canada, Israël en de EU. Hoewel Venezuela al jaren het slachtoffer is van Amerikaanse sancties en de manipulatie van de olieprijs, doet de VS (en de Nederlandse media!) alsof de armoede in Venezuela te wijten is aan de democratisch gekozen president Maduro. In buurland Colombia heeft de VS nu een lading “hulpgoederen” gedropt aan de grens met Venezuela. Die zou Guaidó dan verdelen onder de armen, niet in Colombia, maar in Venezuela. Ook de EU wil “humanitaire hulp” verlenen, vanuit de Nederlandse Antillen, want die liggen dicht bij Venezuela. Ook langs de grens met Brazilië rukken de troepen op. Maduro heeft daarop de grenzen gesloten voor mensen van alle nationaliteiten die Guaidó hebben erkend. De “humanitaire” EU delegatie kwam daarom ook al het land niet in. Europeanen, Canadezen, Amerikanen en Israëliërs zijn in het gastvrije Venezuela niet langer welkom.

Langs de grens met Colombia is er dit weekeinde een soort muziekwedstrijd gaande tussen de aanhangers van Guaidó en de bevolking van Venezuela. Aan beide kanten van de grens staan podia opgesteld, aan de Colombiaanse kant voor een benefietconcert ten bate van de arme Venezolaanse bevolking, aan de kant van Venezuela een festival voor die bevolking. Het wachten is nog op een goed verslag van die match, want ik ben wel benieuwd hoe dat afloopt.

Venezuela struggles to find buyers for its oil after US sanctions

The US sanctions not only cut off Venezuela’s exports to the United States—its key outlet market until a few weeks ago—but also ban US exports of naphtha to Venezuela, which the country uses to dilute its thick heavy oil to make it flow. Analysts expect that a shortage of diluents could accelerate from this month the already steadily declining Venezuelan oil production and exports.

Last week, US National Security Advisor John Bolton warned countries and companies against buying crude oil from Venezuela, after the Latin American country’s Oil Minister Manuel Quevedo said during a surprise visit to India that Venezuela wants to sell more oil to the fast-growing Indian market.

War On Venezuela Is Built On A Lie

By John Pilger

A war has been declared on Venezuela, of which the truth is “too difficult” to report.

It is too difficult to report the collapse of oil prices since 2014 as largely the result of criminal machinations by Wall Street. It is too difficult to report the blocking of Venezuela’s access to the US-dominated international financial system as sabotage. It is too difficult to report Washington’s “sanctions” against Venezuela, which have caused the loss of at least $6billion in Venezuela’s revenue since 2017, including $2billion worth of imported medicines, as illegal, or the Bank of England’s refusal to return Venezuela’s gold reserves as an act of piracy.

The former United Nations Rapporteur, Alfred de Zayas, has likened this to a “medieval siege” designed “to bring countries to their knees”. It is a criminal assault, he says. It is similar to that faced by Salvador Allende in 1970 when President Richard Nixon and his equivalent of John Bolton, Henry Kissinger, set out to “make the economy [of Chile] scream”. The long dark night of Pinochet followed.

What’s Not Being Said About the Venezuela Oil War

17.02.2019 Author: F. William Engdahl

The real prize that these powerful international oil giants are eyeing likely lies well to the east of the Orinoco heavy oil fields where they now operate. The real prize is the ultimate control over one of the best-kept secrets in the oil industry, the huge oil reserves of a disputed area straddling Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil. The region is called Guayana Esequiba. Some geologists believe the Esequiba region and its offshore could contain the world’s largest reserves of oil, oil of far better quality that the heavy Orinoco crude of Venezuela. The problem is that owing to the decades-long dispute between Venezuela and Guyana the true extent of that oil is not yet known.

De onvolprezen en onvermoeibare Abby Martin is in 2017 een aantal maanden in Venezuela geweest. Zij is goed op de hoogte van de situatie. Zie hier haar reportages.. Voor de EU weer een “humanitare delegatie” stuurt, zouden de gedelegeerden die serie kunnen bekijken. Misschien dat hun humanitaire hulp dan toch maar naar Jemen gaat, want daar is die hulp broodnodig!

The Fake News About Humanitarian Aid and Venezuela

Virtually unreported in the humanitarian aid story are several inconvenient truths that contradict the official US government narrative the media is so closely parroting. Firstly, the “aid” is not recognized as such at all. For shipments to qualify as aid, they must be given indiscriminately. The US “aid” appears destined only for Juan Guaidó, the US-backed self-appointed president. The Red Cross and the United Nations have refused to help the US or to recognize Trump’s shipments as aid. Indeed, the United Nations has formally condemned the US’ actions in Venezuela. For their part, the Venezuelan government has been very eager to accept genuine aid, and is currently working with the UN to distribute supplies.

Die humanitaire hulp komt uit Rusland:

De Canadese minister van buitenlandse zaken Chrystia Freeland fungeert in deze coup als een soort Victoria Nuland, die de coup in Oekraïne heeft voorbereid. Zij heeft in de zomer van 2017 een aantal Zuid Amerikaanse staten samengebracht in de Lima Group en al deze landen steunen de coup van Guaidó tegen Madura.

How Chrystia Freeland Organized Donald Trump’s Coup in Venezuela

On Monday, February 5th, Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland announced that the 14 countries of the Lima Group — who had actually formed themselves under her direction into this new group on 8 August 2017 in order to overthrow and replace Venezuela’s current President Nicholas Maduro — have now been joined (though she didn’t say to what extent) by the EU, and by 8 other individual countries. She stated:

“Today, we have been joined by our Lima Group partners, from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Saint Lucia. We have also been joined in our conversations with our partners from other countries, for this Lima Group ministerial meeting. These include Ecuador, the European Union, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.”

She, along with US President Donald Trump, had, all along, been the actual leaders of this international diplomatic effort, to violate the Venezuelan Constitution blatantly, so as to perpetrate the coup in Venezuela.
