CLODOVALDO HERNANDEZ—Objectively reviewing the history of our times proves that Chávez faced—and Maduro has continued to face—all the strategies, tactics, maneuvers, games, and schemes that the US empire and its satellites and lackeys have successfully used throughout the rest of the continent, among other ploys that have been used in other parts of the world.

After trying to destroy Venezuela’s economy by every conceivable means, heaping horrific illegal sanctions, a series of attempted coups, the arrogant designation of a puppet as the rightful president of the Bolivarian Republic, constant demonization and insults on its government, the kidnappings of a top-ranking diplomat, and subjecting the nation to a political blockade, Biden is now asking the Venezuelans to help ease the oil crisis afflicting the American market.

United States and Venezuela: A Historical Background
15 minutes readJAMES PETRAS—Washington began a hostile campaign to pressure President Chavez to accept Washington’s (President Bush) global war agenda in Afghanistan and around the world. Chavez refused to submit. He declared, “You don’t fight terror with terror”. By late 2001 the US Ambassador met with the business elite and a sector of the military to oust President-elect Chavez via a coup in April 2002. The coup lasted 24 hours. Over a million people, mostly slum dwellers, marched to the Presidential palace, backed by military loyalists. They defeated the coup and restored President Chavez to power.

Venezuela on the Road to Political Consensus
8 minutes readThe Bolivarian nation will not forget the traitors either. Juan Guaidó, the self-proclaimed president of Venezuela on January 23, 2019, will not have impunity despite the dialogues with the opposition he represents. Guaido was not elected by anyone. He was not even a candidate in May 2018, when the legitimate and legal elections were held in Venezuela to choose the president. He was just some guy Venezuela’s right-wing chose in complicity with the U.S. to play the role of a pretend “popular” leader.
“That is why impunity will not be negotiated, whether the talks are in Mexico or on Mars. What there will be is justice, deep justice, because they have done so much damage to the Venezuelan family’s life,” Maduro said during an interview for Venezolana de Televisión.
Guaidó is the protagonist of the robbery of the CITGO company, a subsidiary of the Venezuelan state-owned oil company PDVSA in the U.S. He is also responsible for the seizure of more than $8 billion and the theft of more than $2 billion dollars in gold deposited in the Bank of England.
