(2024-08-10). Maduro, an Expert in Defense and Counterattack. orinocotribune.com By Clodovaldo Hernandez — Aug 7, 2024 | One of the few advantages of being a country systematically besieged with increasing intensity for more than a quarter of a century is that its leaders become increasingly adept at defense and counterattack. | This is one of the conclusions that can be drawn from the events following the Venezuelan presidential elections of July 28, which are still unfolding. The actions taken by the adversaries of the Bolivarian revolution have been countered one by one, so far with a favorable balance for the re-elected president, Nicolás Maduro. | The parallel government strategy…

The US Unproven Claim of Overwhelming Evidence of the Venezuelan Far Right Opposition Victory a Sign of Desperation. orinocotribune.com By Nino Pagliccia — Aug 9, 2024 | In most countries elections come and go. Not in Venezuela. Almost immediately after the first announcement in the early hours of July 29 by the National Electoral Council (CNE) that Nicolas Maduro's lead in the votes could not be overcome by Edmundo Gonzalez with about 80% of votes counted, the ultra rightwing opposition started claiming that there was fraud. | Predictably violent street riots (guarimbas) started in Caracas and other Venezuelan regions, which have now subsided after hundreds of rioters have been apprehended who claimed to have been paid $150 to create chaos.
(2024-08-10). Terror Lovers: Here's How Ukraine is Gaslighting the Global South. orinocotribune.com By Tarik Cyril Amar — Aug 7, 2024 | The government of Mali has officially severed diplomatic ties with Ukraine. Ukraine is a country in eastern Europe; Mali is located in the Sahel region of Africa. Their political and commercial relationships are, to put it mildly, not intense, neither in a positive nor — until now — a negative sense. Kiev does not even maintain an embassy in Bamako, Mali's capital, despite having them in a number of other African states; Mali has no diplomatic mission in Ukraine either. At first sight, it is hard to understand how two countries that have so little to do with ea…

Battle For Syria's Oil Pits Local Tribal Forces Against US Occupation. popularresistance.org In Syria's Deir Ezzor province, Arab tribal forces have mounted a determined assault on the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), aiming to reclaim their lands and challenge the U.S.'s de facto control over Syria's oil-rich regions. The U.S. responded with missile strikes, underscoring the fragile hold Washington maintains over these critical resources, which have been central to its leverage in the ongoing Syrian conflict. | This escalation followed the arrest of Arab commander Abu Khawla by the SDF in August 2023 during an anti-Daesh (ISIS) operation in al-Hasakah. The arrest ignited over a month of armed…
(2024-08-10). Venezuela Is A Marvellous Country In Motion. popularresistance.org I have been in Caracas, Venezuela, for the past two weeks, before and after the presidential election on 28 July. In the run-up to the election, two things became clear to me. First, the Chavistas (supporters of Hugo Chávez and the Bolivarian project that is now led by President Nicolás Maduro) have the enormous advantage of an organised mass base. Second, knowing that the odds were not in their favour, the opposition, led by far-right María Corina Machado and the US government, were already signalling defeat before the election even took place by alleging that it would be fraudulent.
(2024-08-10). US Rejection Of Venezuela's Democracy Vindicates Trump. popularresistance.org The dust-up on January 6, 2021, was nothing compared to an opposition in Venezuela calling for the nation's military forces to ignore the declaration of state authorities recognizing the result of their electoral process. Instead. they collaborated with external powers involved in ongoing illegal actions to undermine the state and its democratically elected leadership. | Even Donald Trump didn't attempt to institute a similar course of action following the 2020 elections. And even if he wanted to, it would not have been effective since then Joint Chief of Staff, Mark Milley, inserted himself into the local securi…
