    Will the US Attack Venezuela?

    Spoiler alert – it already has. This is not a glib answer but a comment on the nature of the conflict.

  • Washington Projects Its Drug Problem onto Latin America: Narco-State Myth Used to Attack Venezuela

    A big Cadillac limo with Jersey plates was parked down the block. Few locals in East Harlem even owned cars, let alone new ones. Curious, I asked the street kids what’s up.

    What Lies Behind Trump’s Attacks Against Venezuela?

  • US-backed Venezuelan Opposition Never Tried to Win the Presidency

    “On the campaign trail, she [María Corina Machado] was received almost as a religious figure, often wearing white, promising to restore democracy and reunite families torn apart by an economic crisis and mass migration. ‘María!’ her followers shouted, before falling into her arms,” the New York Times reverently reported. Indeed, Machado’s personally chosen surrogate to […]

  • How the US Could Have Won the Venezuelan Election

    Don’t ask what business the US had in backing a candidate in Venezuela’s July 28 presidential election. Certainly that was not a question that the corporate press ever asked. Of course, the US should never have been meddling in Venezuelan elections in the first place. But given the machinations of the hemisphere’s hegemon, it is […]

  • CNN’s Fraudulent Analysis of Fraud in the Venezuelan Presidential Election

    In the quarter century of the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela, initiated by the election of Hugo Chávez and continued by his successor Nicolás Maduro, 31 national elections have been held.
