Study Linking US Sanctions to Venezuelan Deaths Buried by Reuters for Over a Month
Joe Emersberger turns an eye on the biased coverage of the press.

I emailed Stephanie Nebehay of Reuters on May 22 about her article, “Venezuela Turns to Russia, Cuba, China in Health Crisis” (5/22/19). Her article depicted the impact of US sanctions as an allegation that Venezuelan government officials are alone in making. The article stated:

The opposition blames [medical shortages] on economic incompetence and corruption by the leftist movement in power for two decades, but [President Nicolás] Maduro says US economic sanctions are the cause.

I asked why the piece made no mention of a study (CEPR, 4/25/19) released a month earlier by economists Mark Weisbrot and Jeffrey Sachs, which directly linked US sanctions to 40,000 deaths in Venezuela since August of 2017.

Her reply to me on May 23 was quite telling:

I was not aware of that study, but am now and will bear in mind.

It would indeed have been impossible for a Reuters reporter to be aware of the study if they depended only on Reuters articles to keep informed. The news agency hadn’t mentioned the study since it was released, never mind written an article about it.

I asked a contact I have at Reuters about this, and he was also surprised that Reuters hadn’t even mentioned the study. He suggested I query some of Reuters’ Venezuela-based reporters, which I did a few days later.

In my email to them, I passed along a list of news articles since August 2017, when Trump first dramatically intensified economic sanctions, that described worsening economic conditions. I also noted that though the Sachs/Weisbrot study was ignored by Reuters, it had been intensely debated in public by Venezuelan opposition economists (i.e., the kind of people Reuters and other Western media actually pay attention to on Venezuela).

CEPR compared oil production in Venezuela and neighboring Colombia to illustrate the impact of US sanctions.

The Brookings Institution published a few rebuttals to the study (hereand here), which I also pointed out to Reuters. The objections Brookings made were essentially already addressed by Weisbrot and Sachs in response to other critics.

On June 9, Reuters finally mentioned the study, at the end of an article by Nebehay, who is based in Geneva:

One study in April, co-authored by US economists Jeffrey Sachs and Mark Weisbrot, blamed sanctions for causing more deaths and disproportionately hitting the most vulnerable.

“We find that the sanctions have inflicted, and increasingly inflict, very serious harm to human life and health, including an estimated more than 40,000 deaths from 2017–2018,” they said, arguing they were illegal under international law.

Nevertheless, since the day Nebehay replied to me, Reuters has continued to portray the severe impact of US sanctions as an allegation that only Maduro and other Venezuelan officials have made. It was even done by Reuters in an article published June 10, the day after the wire service finally mentioned the study:

The government of President Nicolás Maduro says Venezuela’s economic problems are caused by US sanctions that have crippled the OPEC member’s export earnings and blocked it from borrowing from abroad.

Reuters (6/1/19) treats the idea that US sanctions are responsible for deaths in Venezuela as an allegation made by Maduro–placing it after the statement, “The opposition has blamed their deaths on President Nicolás Maduro, whose socialist administration has presided over the collapse of the once-wealthy nation’s economy and severe reductions in healthcare spending.”

Other instances of Reuters representing the idea that US sanctions work as they are intended to do—in other words, that they hurt the Venezuelan economy—as an allegation made by Maduro or his government:

“He [President Maduro] says the country’s economic problems are the result of an ‘economic war’ led by his political adversaries with the help of Washington.” (5/23/19)
“Maduro, who maintains control over state institutions, calls Guaidó a puppet of Washington and blames US sanctions for a hyperinflationary economic meltdown and humanitarian crisis.” (5/26/19; repeated almost verbatim, 5/28/19)
“Maduro’s government, however, says US-imposed sanctions were responsible for the children’s deaths, by freezing funds allocated to buy medicine and send the children to Italy for treatment under the 2010 agreement.” (6/1/19)
“Maduro blames the situation on an ‘economic war’ waged by his political adversaries as well as US sanctions that have hobbled the oil industry and prevented his government from borrowing abroad.” (6/7/19)
“Maduro says Venezuela is victim of an ‘economic war’ led by the opposition with the help of Washington, which has levied several rounds of sanctions against his government.” (6/7/19)
Two recent articles by Reuters, however, stated the obvious about the most recent US sanctions that were implemented in 2019:

“Venezuela is in the midst of a years-long economic and humanitarian crisis that has deepened since the United States imposed sanctions on the country’s oil industry in January as part of an effort to oust Socialist President Nicolás Maduro in favor of opposition leader Juan Guaidó.” (6/7/19)
“Venezuela’s oil exports dropped 17 percent in May because of the sanctions.” (6/6/19)
But the study Reuters belatedly mentioned shows that US sanctions have been devastating to Venezuela’s economy, and seriously aggravating the humanitarian crisis, since August 2017.

Apologists for Trump always rush to say that Venezuela’s depression began years before Trump’s sanctions—as if that made it acceptable to deliberately worsen a humanitarian crisis. To tweak an analogy Caitlin Johnstone used, think of a defense attorney saying, “Your Honor, I will show that the victim was already in intensive care when my client began to assault him.”

Moreover, as Steve Ellner recently discussed, US support for an insurrectionist opposition in Venezuela goes back over a decade before the crisis, and was a factor in causing it. Economic sanctions Obama introduced in 2015 were also harmful—Weisbrot (The Hill, 11/6/16) in 2016 called them “ugly and belligerent enough to keep many investors from investing in Venezuela and to raise the country’s cost of borrowing”—even before Trump’s dramatic escalation of economic warfare that they paved the way for.

Putting aside a study by prominent US economists, the “Maduro says” formulation is also inexcusable because US Sen. Marco Rubio, who has been widely reported as a major influence on Trump’s Venezuela policy, gleefully tweeted on May 16 that Maduro “can’t access funds to rebuild electric grid.”

Rubio didn’t pretend he was referring to an imaginary electric grid used exclusively by Maduro. Reuters (5/30/19) has itself referred to Rubio as the “leading voice in the crafting of President Donald Trump’s Venezuela policy,” in a lengthy piece about US sanctions that said absolutely nothing about their impact on the general population, implying throughout that sanctions only impacted Maduro and other officials. (“Being blacklisted also crimps the lifestyle of Venezuelan officials’ families,” Reuters reported.)

My fellow FAIR contributor, Alan MacLeod, interviewed many Venezuela-based journalists for his book Bad News From Venezuela. He wrote last year (FAIR.org, 5/24/18):

Media copy and paste from news organizations like Reuters and Associated Press, which themselves employ many cheaper local journalists.

In Venezuela, these journalists are not neutral actors, but come from the highly partisan local media, affiliated with the opposition, leading to a situation where Western newsrooms see themselves as an ideological spearhead against Maduro, “the resistance” to the government.

Even worse than being the “resistance” to Maduro is that Reuters has often made itself the “assistance” to politicians like Rubio, who are vicious enough to celebrate the economic strangulation of millions of people.

Reuters may carry on as if it had never reported the study by Weisbrot and Sachs. Western media outlets are perfectly willing to ignore their own reporting when it suits powerful interests (Extra! Update, 10/02). It is therefore up to all of us to not be passive consumers of news, and continually bear in mind that the news we are getting about official enemies may be less than half the story.

You can send a message to Reuters here (or via Twitter: @Reuters). Please remember that respectful communication is the most effective.

THE REVENGE OF DUKE AFTER THE DECEIT OF GUAIDÓ WITH THE FIGURE OF THE MILITARY DESERTERS
June 18, 2019 , 4:45 a.m. .

SHARE
The corruption scheme revealed a few days ago by the PanAm Post medium, which points directly to the intimate and family environment of the self-proclaimed Juan Guaidó, continues to speak.

In the filtration assumed by the journalist star of this medium, Orlando Avendaño, it is detailed that Juan Guaidó deceived President Duque and the government of Colombia with the figure of the Venezuelan military who deserted in the framework of the insurrectionary operation of February 23, this year.

Guaidó requested support from the Colombian government to assist the military and gave Ivan Duque a number of military deserters of 1 thousand 450 officials. However, the Colombian intelligence determined that Kevin Rojas and Rossana Barrera, the personal envoys of Juan Guaidó to administer the funds of the "humanitarian aid" with which the deserters would be attended, increased that figure.

On the military, "there are decent military officers there," according to PanAm Post. The logistics of "humanitarian aid" implied the deployment of "alcohol and prostitutes". Some of them, according to Avendaño, would be "civilians with false credentials".

Both Avendaño and Guaidó's emissary in Colombia, Humberto Calderón Berti, have pointed out that the filtering of the documents about the network of embezzlement that links Guaidó comes from Colombian intelligence.

That being the case, the swelling of the figures of military deserters on the part of Guaidó, with the aim of deceiving the government of Duque and attracting more resources, could be one of the reasons for the intelligence of the neighboring country to start filtering the filtration. then published by PanAm Post.

This leak has impacted in such a way that it has dug the political tomb of Guaidó, who now suffers a huge discredit from his followers, while many of the partners of the United States, who in January accompanied the impulse of the "parallel government", look for another side looking for not being sprinkled by scandal.

Consequently, it is logical to think that the leak was authorized by the Duque government, in revenge for the deceit of Guaidó.

US aircraft seized with cocaine shipment in Falcón
THE SOUTH RADIO · TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 2019
Officials of the Corps of Scientific, Criminal and Criminal Investigations (CICPC) seized on Tuesday an aircraft of US acronyms with 125 panelas of cocaine hydrochloride, in an unauthorized runway in the town of Los Pedros , Casigua Parish of Falcon State .
The head of the National Anti-Drug Office (ONA) G / B Alberto Matheus explained that the procedure was carried out by the Division Against Drugs since last Saturday, June 15 and as a result could be collected, on the model aircraft Piper PA-31, 125 panela of cocaine that yielded a total weight of 143,754 kilograms .
He also indicated that a 350 platform-type truck, two motorcycles, 60 drums of airplane fuel, allegedly used for the shipment of said drug and supplies for the carriage of the same, were also seized at the site.
The head of the National Anti-Drug Organization (ONA) explained that the criminals intended to change the initials of the aircraft of US origin to Venezuelan acronyms to avoid air defense defenses and thus try to "discredit the strong policies of the Bolivarian Government against illicit drug trafficking, "he said.
He also stressed that the policies implemented by the government of President Nicolás Maduro Moros, contribute to the global fight against drugs, which makes it possible to maintain a Venezuela free of these substances.

THE FINAL THRUST TO JUAN GUAIDÓ
June 18, 2019 , 7:00 pm .

Image
Juan Guaidó and Leopoldo López are together discredited by the corruption plot about "humanitarian aid" in Cúcuta (Photo: RTVE)

The plan seemed clean and fast to run on paper, especially with the advance of the blockade via sanctions by the White House, a kind of turbulent preamble in the socio-economic sector of Venezuela that gave rise to a new scenario of destabilization to provoke , at last, a change of regime.

The agenda of John Bolton prevailed, especially in the forms, with the military threat and the incorporation of the American energy companies in Venezuelan business as primary cards. This would be achieved with the construction of a "local leader", close to the Washington establishment apparatus , shaping a "government in the shade": that is why the need to put Popular Will (VP) head on in the fight against the government of Nicolás Maduro, even with its main leader, prepared at Harvard, imprisoned.

To the misfortune of the White House, the "cessation of the usurpation" with Juan Guaidó as the protagonist expired in just six months, with PanAm Post reporting on the corruption plot as a lunge sensitive to the political credibility of the deputy belonging to VP, and that he takes Leopoldo López with him for complicity.

Washington and Miami inflated diplomatic and media to Guaidó and they themselves were instructed, via Colombia, to deflate it. A web of interests in the United States decided that it did not continue, with the electoral agenda sounding both in that country and in Venezuela.

INTERNAL COUP IN THE OPPOSITION
What would be a coup agenda drawn between several anti-Chavez factors ended up being co-opted by the team of Juan Guaidó, strongly supported by the US government, with the displacement of the leadership of Accion Democrática, Un Nuevo Tiempo and Primero Justicia (PJ) of the decisions to make in the field.

With the leak of PanAm Post, we not only discovered what we knew de facto through various denunciations by Colombian media and by squalid logic, but also gave an account of the deep division that exists in the anti-Chavez leadership by the personal agendas of its members.

The displacement of PJ and VP from the funds and resources of the "humanitarian aid" to build their own network of embezzlement for the benefit of the inner circle of Guaidó and López can only mean an internal blow to the opposition.

The whole scam around the number of deserters soldiers of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) and the means of maintenance had the intention of creating its own fund through the resources coming from Caracas, where the wasteful attitude was also presented. by Rossana Barrera and Kevin Rojas. The "defense at all costs" of Guaidó and López to their "emissaries" can only infer that they also profited from the situation, that the corruption given was not an isolated case.

Such behavior does not come as a surprise to those who are aware of who the leaders of local and international antichavism really are. Not in vain, as part of the plan was also the kidnapping and distribution of Citgo, subsidiary of PDVSA in the United States. The evidence is clear in that sense.

However, such displacement for the benefit of a small group of the opposition is just one more window of how US resources have been divided and cheated on each other in the last two decades.

POMPEO AND THE 40 "PRESIDENTS"
But let's not deceive ourselves: what Guaidó and López endorsed from their influential positions did it before the other leaders who today ask for a place as protagonists.

There are María Corina Machado and Antonio Ledezma, who are opposed to the dialogues in Norway and, therefore, of any political construction to resolve the current tensions within Venezuela.

That situation is reflected in the 40 aspiring president referred by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, talking about the impossibility of joining in a solid plan to defeat Chavez.

Each step taken by the opposition in recent times only dismantles and strengthens the position of Nicolás Maduro. The disinflation of Guaidó also has to do with that blow he received simultaneously from all those who do not want to return to the political wheel, with constitutional decisions in between.

From this point of view, with the passage of time, antichavism shows more and more its true face. And with it, failure as currency.

NEW BLOW TO THE OPPOSITION
Avendaño says that Colombian intelligence gave him the information. If true, we can infer that a sector of that apparatus, perhaps authorized by President Iván Duque, aims to benefit personalities more related to the current Colombian government.

In that scenario, María Corina Machado and the Venezuelan far right party, which challenges Guaidó for sitting down to negotiate with the government, and calls for the activation of a multidimensional war, which in fact has been going on for years, are entering.

3. Nuestros aliados en el hemisferio tienen muy claro que Maduro y su régimen no van a salir del poder por vía electoral ni con falsos y débiles diálogos.
Su apoyo es a la ruta de la fuerza, el desconocimiento y el coraje, cómo quedó claro a partir de enero en la agenda del 233.

If you connect the threads that connect PanAm Post with the sources used to give a media stake to those of VP, plus the support of Luis Almagro to an in-depth investigation with what happened, everything converges on what is being demanded a change from United States in the opposition leadership.

The wear of Guaidó as the saving figure of anti-Chavism already has expiration in the present times. Even Trump himself, as filtered by the highly reactionary ABC of Spain, would have "passed the page with Venezuela": the cessation of the usurpation rather refers, now, to the same president of the National Assembly, the frontman of the day.

The wave of leaks, in this way, only confirms that the Guaidó plan is in its "self-destructive" phase, since those who inflated it are the same ones who are currently causing their debacle.

What remains for someone who wanted to earn a good amount of money from the International Monetary Fund and the support of the FANB in ​​a situation like this? It seems to be the closing of the curtain for an "unhappy" character, as described by Daniel McAdams, the executive director of the Ron Paul Foundation.

The displacement now is of a much greater order, in which Guaidó leaves with its improvised agenda, and of which the Colombian government is suspicious as explained by Avendaño. The coup against Guaidó was orchestrated in Bogotá. And closer to the sympathies of Uribism, by ideological affinity and mafia approach, is the Machado .

[img]

FALL OF A "GOVERNMENT 2.0"
The Guaidó was the first government created in social networks, under a political marketing operation sold as an advertising product, which was installed with the endorsement of Washington.

Faced with the impossibility of repeating a 2002 with the correlation of forces within the power in Venezuela, the United States gave strength to an "interim" that was never, that legislated, ordered and managed always from the Web and not in the field of real. That did not stop Citgo's assets from being stolen, but that fact depended more on US strength than on the opposition's will in the national parliament.

In any case, the main responsible for the collapse over the "cessation of usurpation" in the White House is John Bolton, who has been increasingly ridiculed by Trump himself. In the negotiations of his government with that of North Korea, the president mogul disavows all tremendismo coming from his National Security Adviser.

In the same way it does with Iran. Also with Venezuela.

This becomes evident with the different leaks (go the role they have played lately) in relation to divergences in form (but not in substance) in foreign policy between Bolton and Pompeo . The latter, in fact, reflects Trump's negotiating position much better than the military threats of the warhead mustache.

After all, it was Bolton himself who assured his president that Maduro fell sooner rather than later with a "2.0 government". It was not like that, nor will it be. As the winds blow, it also changes the agenda of the heads of Washington and Miami before the collapse of the Guaidó operation.

It was they who dug the grave of their pawn in favor of a new route to handle the "Venezuelan situation". For better or worse, that remains to be seen in the coming weeks.

Abrams Welcomes Venezuela’s Former Intelligence Chief to the US, Reaffirms Trump’s Commitment to Ousting Maduro
The press conference came as the Venezuelan military called for respect from those looking to break it.

Merida, June 26, 2019 (venezuelanalysis.com) – United States Special Envoy to Venezuela Elliott Abrams has publicly welcomed Venezuela’s ex-intelligence chief to the country after he deserted and joined efforts to oust President Nicolas Maduro.

Manuel Cristopher Figuera, who served as chief of the Bolivarian Intelligence Services (SEBIN) from October 2018 to April 2019, arrived to the US on Monday.

He has recently been sacked and expelled from the Venezuelan armed forces following his participation in the failed putsch led by self-proclaimed “Interim President” Juan Guaido on April 30, authorising the release of Guaido’s ally Leopoldo Lopez, who was under house arrest for his role in the violent 2014 street protests.

Speaking at a press conference Tuesday, Abrams, who is known for his leading role in the Iran-Contra scandal and advising George W. Bush in the lead up to the Iraq war, explained that he was “happy” with Cristopher Figuera’s arrival as it “makes it easier to talk to him,” adding that he “has many interesting things to say about Maduro.”

He also alleged that US authorities had no role in bringing him to the country. Cristopher Figuera claims to have been in hiding under the protection of the Colombia government in Bogota since his desertion. The US sanctions against him were also lifted in May following his assistance to Guaido’s efforts.

While the ex-SEBIN chief is yet to make any public comment from the United States, a recent interview done in Bogota was published on Monday by the Washington Post, in which Cristopher Figuera claims to have a “treasure trove” of information for US authorities about the inner workings of the Venezuelan government.

According to the Washington Post, Cristopher Figuera claimed to have knowledge of government corruption schemes, Hezbollah and ELN activities in the country, Cuban influence on Maduro, attempts by ministers to form private armies and that Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez and Supreme Court President Maikel Moreno were party to the April 30 putsch. He goes on to explain how he was convinced by a Guaido envoy to join the events of that day.

While Cristopher Figuera alleges to hold evidence to back up these accusations, both Padrino Lopez and Moreno have publicly rejected his claims, suggesting at the time that Figuera had been “bought” by US authorities.

“I’m proud of what I did (…) I thought I would be able to make Maduro see sense. I couldn’t,” the ex-intelligence chief told the Washington Post. “I quickly realized that Maduro is the head of a criminal enterprise, with his own family involved,” he continued.

Abrams also took the opportunity to downplay rumours that US President Donald Trump is losing interest in efforts to oust the Maduro government, pointing to a recent meeting between Trump and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during which the issue was discussed, as well as the recent launch of the US Navy hospital ship USNS Comfort to South America.

"The notion that there is at the highest levels of the government a diminution of interest [in removing Maduro] is just simply false,” he told press, before adding that the number of countries which recognise Guaido would soon increase, but without offering any further details.

The Washington Post reported last week that Trump was “losing patience and interest in Venezuela” following successive defeats for opposition leader Guaido, quoting an anonymous former government official. The report also claimed that Trump believed that his team “got played” by Guaido regarding the situation on the ground and real prospects of seizing power.

Abrams’ comments also came on the heels of a corruption scandal engulfing the Venezuelan opposition which many analysts claim has affected Guaido’s credibility. The scandal centers on the embezzlement of humanitarian “aid” funds by his team, and has led Venezuelan prosecutors to open an investigation against the opposition leader.

Venezuelan armed forces demand respect
Abrams’ comments coincided with a public statement from the head of the Venezuelan Bolivarian Armed Forces (FANB), Vladimir Padrino Lopez, calling for respect from foreign leaders betting on a rupture in the institution.

The kickback came after Colombian President Ivan Duque called on the FANB to “rupture” and to back Juan Guaido.

In an interview with Europa Press over the weekend, Duque reaffirmed that, in his opinion, the overthrow of Maduro should not be democratically done but rather brought about by the armed forces.

“I have been very clear, beyond a foreign military solution, what is needed today is to secure the rupture of the Venezuelan military forces, and that these military forces place themselves on the side of the [National] Assembly and of President Guaido, that they are protagonists in saving their country,” Duque commented, before adding that in his opinion “The military forces in Venezuela are totally fractured.”

In response, the FANB statement called on Duque to show respect and “not waste his time trying to fragment our unity, discipline, morality or loyalty.”

“What would be the reaction of the Colombian government if someone suggested that the military forces of their country broke up and stopped recognising him as president?” the communique asks.

Regarding accusations that the FANB is “fragmented,” the Venezuelan military responded that “This is typical of those who are blind and desperate, who refuse to understand the failure of every effort to break up the nation.”

Opposition leaders and US officials have repeatedly called on the Venezuelan armed forces to break the chain of command and support Guaido’s efforts in ousting the Maduro government, with promises of “amnesty” and lifting personal sanctions.

The armed forces have, however, repeatedly reiterated their commitment to the Venezuelan constitution, including by not allowing right wing forces to violate the country’s border on February 23 as well as following April 30’s failed putsch, when Maduro led exercises in several military bases.

THE FIVE (FIRST) KEYS OF THE DISASSEMBLED OPERATION VUELVAN FACES

Image
The sectoral Vice President of Communication, Jorge Rodríguez, shows the organization chart of the last coup plot (Photo: EFE)

They were 14 months of counterintelligence. Several plots coup and magnicide, confronted, superimposed, contradictory, cannibals. Assault on the Miraflores Palace, (again) to the Francisco de Miranda Air Base, to the vaults of the Central Bank (for park and money). 140 thousand rounds of ammunition. At least five combat groups. 56 hours of audiovisual record of conversations.

Decapitation of 95% of the generalate loyal to the country, the Constitution and the Government. Presidents pitonizos in the region. Commands gringo and Israeli infiltrated. Military of high rank of the Fourth Republic; Metropolitan Police and recycled Petejotas and resuming the sociopathic office of systematic genocide in the west of Caracas. Fire the capital ("burn everything to save Venezuela"), and the sadistic fantasy of rivers of blood for a change of regime on June 23 and 24 of this year.

Any of these lines could be the great headline of the complex, ramified and dense stratagem of ultraviolent and deliberately bloodthirsty operations that the sectoral vice-president of Communications, Culture and Tourism, Jorge Rodríguez, revealed at a press conference at noon on June 26.


Given the number of vectors, revelations and the new approach that illuminates the recent past itself, in this first work we will only focus on five keys to analysis, while this tribune continues to exhaust, exhaustively, the details. That they are many, and they all speak. Quite.

1. ALL HITS THE HIT
It is already an inaccuracy to speak of the continuous blow in the singular: they are the continuous blows. A single end, but wide variations in tactical methods, planning and, above all, the political and military protagonists. Take, for example, the case of Brigadier General Eduardo José Báez, alias Mariscal for practical purposes, director of the macro of the so-called Operation Vuelvan Caras. From the Blue Strike of 2015 to the revealed in June 2019. Four years of participation and insistence.

But these continuities do not speak or describe harmonization, consistent operational coherence, or genuine concern for the state of the country: they speak of blood and precipitation. Today we know that, according to the revelations, that on paper only one variable had exact form and consistency: three groups of assault and a subgroup in charge of fundamental technical aspects that should operate twelve hours before "hour H", Assaulting the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) to take over the park and demolishing two antennas at two ends of the capital, plus a special command, luck of foreign micro legion.

But this group can not have the last word on the Colombian unit composed of Israeli, North American and Colombian troops under the presumed mandate of Clíver Alcalá Cordones. Much less for the unfortunate and unlikely effectiveness of the group of Sargentos Garcías, former Metropolitan Police (PM) and former Judicial Technical Police (PTJ) that they intended to take charge of containing west of Caracas.

A coup ("Vuelvan Caras, Baduel president") within a coup (in the words of alias Marina, brigadier general Miguel Carmelo Sisco, resigned with Guaidó and delegated by Báez, at some point, as commander of the entire operation) within one more, like a Russian doll: the private / privatized coup of Leopoldo López on April 30. Where then is Operation Freedom ?

This tragicomedy of entanglements offers two aspects, one theoretical and the other profound (and stupidly) human. Theoretically, because the Field Manual 3-05-201 of the Non-Conventional War of the US Special Operations Forces speaks of multiple links ( linkups ) accentuating the difficulty of its centralization, and in addition to the simultaneous effort of the auxiliary, decentralized or do not. It could be understood that an upper floor of the conspiracy bet on several roosters at the same time, hoping to define themselves for the one that best prospers.

And the human side, where the abstract neatness of the plans speaks of the almost millimeter coverage of the technical aspects, very rarely considering the resistance levels and the response capacity of the opponents.

We will talk about this better later on, but such a degree of technicality also speaks to us of a dramatic decompensation of the political content: all speaking at the same time (increasing the conspiracy bulla and the attention / information gathering in the matter of counterintelligence); all presenting clear symptoms of anxiety and unsuspecting expectation. The chicken coop was filled, and the chickens went to the cockpit.

It is clear that just as Pompeo laments the number of political careerists who will be called "president" in the political opposition, it is also reflected, in all its letters, in the military conspiracy. Excessive initiative produces military Guaidós.

The third aspect would be cynicism: it dreamed the coup with practically taking two of the battalions of greater military weight and firepower (the Bolivar and the Ayala), the Francisco de Miranda Base in the Carlota, the Miraflores Palace, all the access to Caracas, neutralize the FAES headquarters in Petare (east of the city), the Supreme Court of Justice, etc., in an encompassing action without considering, for a moment, the population as something that would cause concern for the damage , deaths and injuries. "Burn everything to save the country," says alias Marina, bloated.

2. A GLOBAL BLOW AGAINST STRUCTURES AND LOCAL FIGURES
The conspiracy plot is only endogenous insofar as it involves a handful of retired officers and a few young people with Ricky Martin complex with firepower that give "local color" to a huge movement that makes absolutely everything available, from outside.

In Bolivarian Venezuela, there is no need for an embassy of the United States when those of the Lima Group (now the abrupt withdrawal of Canadian personnel is better understood) and the Apostolic Nuncio, in case things go wrong, offer their "sovereignty" as den.

Belligerent embassies that play the role of the rearguard, as evidenced by the defense of lieutenant colonels Illich Sánchez and Soto Manzanares, nowadays full-fledged guests at the Panamanian embassy in Caracas, with enough coverage and protection to be able to speak in hands free, show off "several military movements" and not hide their desire to kill Cubans. Or the safe-conduct paper that was the Chilean to move Leopoldo López from his headquarters to the Spanish embassy on April 30. What else do they offer, how much of logistics resources do they handle?

The political and operative disposition that Colombia provides at this point goes from the plaintive to the obscene. In Latin America there should be no more unhappy and comprehensive record of a nation that delivers so much to be a broker of arms, drugs, social slaughter and attempts of political destabilization. And this goes beyond the status of a neighboring country.

It is not countries that lead the current political leaders of the region, but pretexts. The humanitarian form and the moral discourse that clouds the national responsibility patents that was exactly this the configuration of the dominant classes necessary to leave no trace, once again, of sovereignty.

Nothing has a regional life of its own: from the parallel government of Guaidó to the "governments" of Piñera, Duque, Macri, Bolsonaro, etc. Everything is supported by the financial system, the corporate agenda and the instances of US foreign policy. Not even Trump.

To paraphrase the Liberator: the same is for Venezuela to fight against Spain than against the dissolving structures of the different nation-states of the continent.

3. THE (FAILED) RETURN OF THE FOURTH: THE SYSTEMIC
Again, if something is clarified in this unprecedented process in the region, it is not only the territorial battle, let's say geographic, spatial, but also against historical time.

In Operation Vuelvan Caras and its surroundings, there is a clear temporary reflux. Let's not talk about the sustained attempt of neoliberal restoration that has put the continent almost entirely under that fold with its denationalization at great strides, the total abandonment of the population, the instrumental subordination, without conditions, to the financial powers and humiliation.

In the Venezuelan key itself, whether you like it or not, resonates the web of several stuck movements, as in April 2002, "one of the most grotesque bullies in our history" would say the late and disgruntled Jorge Olavarría.

Alias ​​Mariscal, former General Báez, resident in the Dominican Republic, and former Vice Admiral Huizi Clavier also bring a remarkable resonance with the events surrounding the Carmona Decree, of which the first of those mentioned was a signatory.

But it is not there, on the surface, where that past is marked to the present in all its exercise. But in the flowery verb of alias Cheo, the former PTJ commissioner, José Gregorio Balladares, in a meeting on June 20: "We do not know military tactics, ours is to kill thieves, let's be clear", when in One of the videos presented, in which we could consider the ground floor of the coup apparatus, former police officers ask for military support to exterminate "with a gift" to more than 60 "collectives" on January 23 and the Sucre Parish.

While the military and foreign special forces assume the magnificence of the coup aiming against high-level objectives, the police operations are in charge of the anonymity of the masses, of whom no name deserves within the conspiracy. The class struggle manifests itself in the coup d'état. Imaginative poverty too.

"Fifty or sixty of a single blow, that's quickie," alias Cheo dreamed, in an ambush with an explosive device, warned by a sniper on a rooftop, for the former MP and ex PTJ to detonate.

Not without adding the need for more money, and show their contacts "with the people of Óscar Pérez" in Colombia, and others who have met in the United States "with the CIA".

Apparently being a Fourth policeman is also a metaphysics.

4. HAUGHTINESS AND COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
Fourteen months and fifty-six hours of video already say a lot. In the alleged compartmentalization of information, in the closed order of the conspiracy, everyone speaks, and much. Everyone has "ideas", and many. It is the general sign of how much is said between them. Nobody is measured: there is a sense of imaginative enjoyment. They are safe, confident.

Of all the "clips" presented, only one, that of alias Gonzalo (Corvette Captain Rafael Acosta Arévalo) lacks euphoria and manifests some method and reflection on the execution of the plan and its possible outcomes.

Outside the closed order, in the field of media and social networks, the same sin is perpetrated. "Presidents Iván Duque and Sebastián Piñera anticipate violent acts against Venezuela, because they are the ones who encourage them," denounces Jorge Rodríguez.

It is not the brilliance that characterizes them, but their position, one as the star intermediary of their country of concentrated capitals; the other, for not overcoming his condition as a prosthesis of Álvaro Uribe. The rest is vanity.

The performance of Juan Guaidó, alias Lander, deactivating a "kidnapping" almost simultaneously with the press conference also offers a new quadrant of interpretation when considering what was exposed in the national chain.

But the climax of pride, and consequently self-condemnation, is offered by Lieutenant Colonel Illich Sanchez in conversation with alias Atanasio. The tone of the conversation rather than a coup "movement" seems like an invitation to a grill in Valle Arriba.

Moreover, if we want to find some parallel in the Venezuelan mass consumption, the invitation to participate to alias Atanasio in the "movement" reminds the video of Captain Nemo inviting his panas to launch the walk to Pozo del Cura .

In contrast to incontinence and delirium, the sobriety of the Venezuelan intelligence services stands out, and the antibodies, as Minister Rodríguez said, of the officers who risked their lives to unravel the complex and noisy structure of the coup.

5. CHANGE OF AGENDA AND THE END OF GUAIDÓ
At what political moment is the frustrated conspiracy plot being taught to the public? What is the timing in relation to the last, unhappy and unproductive imperial adventure?

The construct called Juan Guaidó loses sustained bellows: first they assassinate the character with infidelities, then exploits the scandal of corruption and embezzlement of "humanitarian" funds after the failed operation of February 23 on the Colombian-Venezuelan border.

Carlos Vecchio and his cronies are opened an investigation for embezzlement in Citgo .

Everything for them is lowered.

Simultaneously, the North American mainstream and its subsidiaries in Miami present their respective promotion and marketing packages around Manuel Cristopher Figuera and Iván Simonóvis, who despite insisting that he suffers from a score of chronic diseases, according to an "exclusive" journal of the Americas this was no impediment to an escape no less joliwudense than the frustrated desires of alias Simón, Marina, Cheo or Peregrino.

In the OAS, the parallel government does not consolidate anything. Misses.

Today we know that Figuera, after billing, freed the latter and Leopoldo López, charging an extra to leave Baduel, the alleged hero of the organizational chart, in his cell.

Whenever we return to the judicial process of the conflict in advance, designating the Venezuelan government as a Bolivarian Joint Criminal Company takes shape.

The idols of the first semester of the year and their pacemakers have already acknowledged their true expiration date.

Poor Elliot Abrams.

UPDATED: Venezuelan Navy Captain Dies in State Custody, Maduro Orders Investigation
Acosta had been linked to an alleged coup plot in which he discussed assassinating President Nicolas Maduro.

Caracas, June 30, 2019 (venezuelanalysis.com) – Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has ordered a probe into the death of a retired navy captain in the custody of Venezuelan intelligence officials on Saturday.

Captain Rafael Acosta Arevalo, 49, was transferred to Dr. Vicente Salas Military Hospital where he died at approximately 1 am Saturday morning, his lawyer told Bloomberg.

According to a statement by Venezuela’s Defense Ministry, Acosta was presented before a military judge at Caracas’ Fort Tiuna military base on Friday when he reportedly fainted, prompting the judge to order his immediate transfer to the health facility. No further details have been made public at the time of writing.

However, the opposition has disputed the official account, claiming that the navy officer died as a result of toture.

Venezuelan Attorney Tamara Suju, who serves as self-proclaimed “Interim President” Juan Guaido’s envoy to the Czech Republic, took to Twitter, alleging that Acosta “arrived at court in a wheelchair, presenting grave signs of torture.” Her comments were echoed in a statement by Guaido’s office calling for an “independent international forensics team” to investigate the death.

Acosta, who retired from active service a decade ago, was arrested by Venezuela’s Military Counter-Intelligence Command (DGCIM) on Wednesday on charges of terrorism and sedition, in connection to a purported coup plot revealed by Communciations Minister Jorge Rodriguez that same day.

Rodriguez presented an allegedly intercepted video conference showing Acosta extensively discussing the coup plans with other alleged conspirators, which included seizing arms stored at the Central Bank before mounting an assault on Miraflores Palace in order to “eliminate target 1 and target 2,” referring to President Maduro and National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello. The retired navy captain described the assassination of the president and the Socialist Party’s number two as a “decisive, striking, mediatized and internationally noteworthy act” that would win over military officials still ambivalent about the coup.

In a statement Saturday, Venezuela’s Communications Ministry indicated President Maduro ordered a “thorough and exhaustive investigation” into the incident.

For its part, the Attorney General’s office likewise issued a declaration announcing that the 86th Caracas Metropolitan Area prosecutor, with a speciality in human rights, had been assigned to conduct an “independent, objective, and impartial” probe into the death.

In response to the incident, US Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Kimberly Breier took to Twitter Sunday, condemning the death as "a grim reminder of how Maduro & his Cuban advisers are persecuting the military & National Assembly."

Meanwhile, the EU’s spokesperson for foreign affairs, Maja Kocijancic, termed the case “a stark illustration of the arbitrary nature of the judicial system in the country” and called for a “full and independent investigation.”

[UPDATE] On Monday afternoon, Attorney General Tarek William Saab announced that two DGCIM officers, National Guard Lieutenant Ascanio Tarascio and Second Sergeant Estiben Zarate, had been arrested in connection with Acosta’s death. Saab further added that the two had been charged with manslaughter, and that the attorney general’s office would seek an “exemplary” punishment.

MURDERS OF LEADERS AND PLANS TO "INTERVENE VENEZUELA": THE CONFESSIONS OF AN ASSASSIN
July 4, 2019 , 11:19 a.m. .

The president of the Constituent National Assembly Diosdado Cabello issued his program Con el Mazo Giving a confession made by José González León, aka Bola Echo, a mercenary involved in the attempted military coup on April 30. He was in the Altamira Distributor with snipers.



In fact, according to published information, González León is a sniper trained in Israel and expert in explosives. In 2018 he was captured in possession of explosive devices with the intention of detonating two nipples in the La Bandera de Caracas terminal.

Due to his capture by the national security and intelligence authorities, he met Deputy Renzo Prieto at El Helicoide facilities, which is part of the Bolivarian Intelligence Service (SEBIN).

The aforementioned deputy is part of the partisan structure of Voluntad Popular, who was released in early 2018 after being arrested in 2014 for involvement in the color revolution, a plan better known as "La Salida". He and Delsa Solórzano hired alias Bola Ocho, according to his confession, to assassinate Freddy Bernal and Valentín Santana, leader of the La Piedrita collective on January 23 (Caracas). For each head, the deputies would pay 10 thousand dollars.

González León said that among the conspirators of the attempted coup of 30A, were mainly Leopoldo López, Juan Guaidó, María Corina Machado, Renzo Prieto, Delsa Solórzano, Ramón Flores, Wilmer Azuaje. Some councilors from Chacao also participated, without giving details. The information also confirms that this new D-Day was a disjointed "private coup" by López, in which none of the participants of the disassembled Operation Vuelvan Caras took action.

The sniper says in the video presented by Cabello that he was sent to Colombia and contacted Humberto Calderón Berti, who at the moment is the "ambassador of Guaidó" in the neighboring country, and with Diego Villamizar, this last right hand of Álvaro Uribe.

He continues with alias Bola Ocho who contacted him with "Mr. Felipe", a code name for the supposed intelligence chief of the Colombian army, who according to the story collects information, gets weapons and recruits with the intention of, in his words, "intervene In Venezuela".

Although he probably will not meet with an officer of that rank, he may in fact be the coordinator of irregular operations in Colombia for Venezuela.

Along with the military deserters of the Armanda Nacional Bolivariana Force (FANB) and paramilitary mercenaries, the plan was to take San Antonio del Táchira with a sort of Venezuelan army abroad.

This would confirm the fact that Colombia, now a "global partner" of NATO , serves as a beachhead for actions of irregular and paramilitary violence against the stability of Venezuela. Norte de Santander was the epicenter of 23F (failed entry by force of "humanitarian aid") and the training of assassins who tried to assassinate President Nicolás Maduro via explosive drones.

In that sense, it was beneficial not only the recapture of José González León for the confessed statements, but also the arrest of Roberto Marrero , Guaidó's right-hand man, who coordinated the entry into the country of terrorist cells trained in Colombia, who planned attacks and political hired killers. against chavismo.

The implication of the Colombian government, today led by the Uribismo, in the plans of assassination, coup d'état and war in Venezuela is becoming increasingly evident.

Venezuelan Government Slams ‘Biased’ UN Human Rights Report
Despite recognizing the negative impact of US sanctions, the report contains no recommendation for the measures to be lifted.

By Ricardo Vaz
Jul 7th 2019 at 10.24am

Caracas, July 7, 2019 (venezuelanalysis.com) – The Venezuelan government has disputed the findings of a report released by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

Having seen the report in advance of its publication, Caracas issued a 70-point statement pointing towards what Venezuelan authorities term a “selective and openly biased” view of the human rights situation in the Caribbean country.

“The distorted view of the report is a result of the significant shortcomings in the methodology behind it,” the statement reads. One of the main points of contention is that out of the 558 interviews carried out, 460 of them involved people not currently in Venezuela.

The government went on to criticize the fact that the report downplays the consequences of US sanctions against Venezuela and ignores research on the subject, including a recent study published by Washington DC-based Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) which estimated that 40,000 people have died since 2017 as a result of US coercive measures.

The US Treasury Department has levied successive rounds of sanctions against various sectors of the Venezuelan economy, as well as freezing Venezuelan assets held abroad. The oil industry has been particularly hit, with an embargo put in place in January that blocks Venezuela from exporting crude to the US as well as from importing diluents needed to produce fuel and refine heavy crude into exportable grades.

Sanctions have drastically reduced imports by shrinking the government’s foreign currency revenue, while also limiting access to financial markets and placing obstacles to commercial transactions. According to Torino Capital Chief Economist Francisco Rodriguez, imports fell to just US $303 million in April, marking a 64 percent decline from last year’s average and a 93.2 percent drop relative to 2012.

Despite recognizing that US sanctions “are exacerbating the economic crisis,” the report contains no recommendation for the measures to be lifted.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet presented the report to the Human Rights Council in Geneva on Friday. The text argues that Venezuelan special forces FAES and forensic police body CICPC have been “responsible for numerous extrajudicial executions,” and other practices meant to “instil fear and maintain social control.”

The OHCHR’s report additionally points the finger at corruption and the deterioration of public services, as well as difficulties in the population’s access to food and healthcare, while also expressing “concern” that Venezuelan migration will continue to grow.

The UN Human Rights body ends with a series of recommendations, including calling on the government to investigate serious human rights violations, dissolve the FAES, and allow a permanent OHCHR country office to be established.

The report came on the heels of the death of retired navy officer Rafael Acosta in state custody on June 29, with the Venezuelan opposition claiming he died as a result of torture. Two National Guard officers have been arrested and charged with manslaughter. Acosta had been arrested for his alleged involvement in a coup plot that included the assassination of President Maduro and other high-ranking figures.

Former Chilean President Bachelet recently made a historic three-day visit to Caracas, in which she held meetings with government and opposition officials, as well as human rights NGOs and activist groups.

Some of the organizations which met with Bachelet, such as Fundalatin or the Committee of Guarimba Victims representing victims of violent street protests staged by the opposition in 2014 and 2017, expressed their disappointment that their voices were not included in the report.

“Bachelet’s report makes the victims invisible and protects those responsible for the violence that has caused the country so much damage,” the Committee said on Twitter.

UN Independent Expert Alfred de Zayas likewise criticized the OHCHR’s report, calling it “fundamentally flawed and disappointing” and a “missed opportunity.”

“It is unprofessional for the UN staff to ignore or not give appropriate weight to the submissions by [human rights organizations] Fundalatin, Grupo Sures, the Red Nacional de Derechos Humanos, and the specific answers provided by the government,” de Zayas wrote in personal blog, while also lamenting the scarce attention paid to sanctions in the report.

The UN High Commissioners’ Office likewise announced on Friday that 22 people had been released from prison upon request by Bachelet. The list includes journalist and businessman Braulio Jatar and former judge Maria Afiuni. Venezuela’s Supreme Court confirmed the release of Jatar and Afiuni, while offering no information on the other 20 cases, while Reuters describes them as “students.”

Jatar had been arrested in 2016 on charges of money laundering and extortion, whereas Afiuni was indicted on corruption charges in 2009 after she ordered the release of businessman Eligio Cedeno. Cedeno had several corruption charges against him and subsequently fled the country. Afiuni had been handed a five year sentence in March.

President Maduro announced target of 5,000,000 homes by 2025
12.JUL.2019 / 09:46 AM / MAKE A COMMENT

The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, affirmed that "this year we have completed and delivered 200 thousand 567 homes and in the Plan of La Patria 2025 we will set a target of 5,000,000 homes".

The head of state this Thursday from the urban Zamora City, in Cúa, Miranda state, made the delivery of 1,780 homes to reach the historic milestone of 2 million 700 thousand homes, built by the Great Housing Mission Venezuela (GMVV).

The national president pointed out that in each urbanism of the Great Housing Mission there must be a Communal Council, a Clap, a bakery and all the services for the welfare of the inhabitants.

He added that "if you want to talk about Human Rights, see what the Bolivarian Revolution does with the Great Housing Mission Venezuela so that the people can live like a true human being with its safe roof."

He stressed that for the month of December of this year, there should not be families in shelters and that is a goal that must be achieved.

This should be rubbed in the face of any who start up on that 'human rights' bullshit.
