"These media have intensified their strategy to incite the people not to vote. They are bursting with fake news, infamies, attacks, and distortions about our nation. They are angry at the freedom and sovereignty of the people of Bolivar," Venezuela's Foreign Minister...

The Spoils of Economic War: How the US, Saudis Profit From Sanctions on Venezuela and Iran

The United States has been playing the role of the world's economic bully. So far, the U.S. has imposed sanctions against Afghanistan, Burundi, Burma, Cuba, North Korea, China, Cyprus, Haiti, Libya, Lebanon, Belarus, Crimea, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Russia, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Yemen and Zimbabwe. But if unilateral harassment has proven itself historically ineffective at achieving conventional geopolitical objectives, why does the U.S. insist on bullying Venezuela and Iran? A glance at the political economy of international oil markets, an industry used as a battlefield to further the aims of war, provides insight into the seemingly irrationa...

"Venezuela has paid all of its commitments with the COVAX mechanism. However, the Bank has arbitrarily 'blocked' the last payments and placed them under 'investigation'. That is a crime," Foreign Affairs Minister Jorge Arreaza tw...

‘Resiste y avanza’: Venezuelans host global solidarity event for Palestine

Workers all over the world have been expressing their disgust at the latest zionist outrages. Eduardo Salgado It has never been more clear that the battle for the hearts and minds of the world’s masses has been well and truly lost by Israel.

EU Justice Court Says Venezuela Can Appeal Against Sanctions

Posted by: John Phoenix In Nov. 2019, the European first instance court rejected an appeal for the annulment of European sanctions filed by Venezuela in Feb. 2018.

Disease as a Weapon: Has the US Blocked Vaccines For Venezuela?

BY: MARIA PAEZ VICTOR According to the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres 75% of vaccines distributed since Feb. 2021 went to the 10 richest countries of the world. At the G7 sorority meeting last week the leaders pledged to “share” up to 2 billion doses of their “surplus” vaccines. The WHO has declared it is not enough since 11 billion doses are needed.[1] World Vision fears it is too little, too late.[2] Biden promises only half a million doses, but none for Venezuela.[3] Not only that, but the USA is actively engaged in stopping vaccines reaching the country. If this is not a crime against humanity, then nothing is. The USA has tried to overthrow the government of President Nicolas Maduro with coup d’etats, cyber-attacks, infrastructure sabotage, assassi...

Venezuela: And Yet It Moves

BY CHRIS GILBERT Paper Tiger, Chinese Revolutionary Poster, 1951. The most impressive rebellions that have taken place over the past half decade—the gilets jaunes, Minneapolis, Chile, and now Colombia—have left political parties and established organizations behind. These either can’t catch up or don’t want to. The reasons for their lagging behind are surely multiple, but it likely has a connection with another evident problem in our ranks. The established left is increasingly nearsighted. It scans the horizon and sees only the largest shapes. Far from being attributable to mere dogmatism, this is, I believe, essentially a problem of ontology. Ontology can be reduced to the simple question of what there is, to use the nice, flatfooted phrase of p...
