Another victim killed by Maduro's forces. Yesterday a 15 year old boy was killed from the back, he wasn't even in the demonstration but was only looking at it. Since April 30 five have been confirmed killed by Maduro's forces. Same story as in 2017 (hundreds killed), 2014, etc.

Impunity for the repressive forces is absolute, so long as they pledge absolute loyalty to the "leader", anything goes...

Four dead in Venezuela clashes after opposition uprising, human rights group says

At least four people were killed and 239 were wounded in Venezuela during two days of protests, a human rights group said.

At least four people were killed and more than 200 were wounded in Venezuela during two days of massive demonstrations in the opposition's latest attempt to oust embattled President Nicolás Maduro, a human rights group said.

The group also said 16-year-old Yosner Graterol was killed by a bullet during a protest in the state of Aragua.

Late Wednesday night, the group said it condemned the death of Jurubith Rausseo García, 27, who was shot in the head during a protest in Altamira on Wednesday.

Thousands took the streets this week after opposition leader Juan Guaidó's call for massive, peaceful protests and for the military to defect against Maduro.

This is the kind of regime codepink is defending, good riddance on their squatting kicked out from our embassy in Washington DC.

I don't even have to comment on this because Anya Parampil laid it all out clearly. I can't believe foxnews (or any major network) let her talk. I thought they vetted everyone to ensure neoliberal bias.

It seems like you are surprised. What do you expect governmental media to do? You want them to say that people are rising against our best and wealthiest country in the world? In Authoritarian countries governmental media are designed to create a good picture of the country in the head if its audience.

I was not surprised, just stating the facts. People in this forum are unaware the traditional media is entirely controlled by the government, including private owned media. The last radio that gave voice to the opposition was shut down that day. Censorship is now complete in the airwaves of Caracas.

Luckily, people on this forum are not watching any kind of Venezuelan medias. But at the same time, all european news channels are showing everything they know about the situation in your country. Also this situation is highlighted on most informational websites and social media. So don't worry, we don't live in informational vacuum.

The second that this happens is the second that Venezuela becomes a US-puppet state. Roll Eyes

Any way, already for the whole century Latin America is a playground for US foreign policy.
Everyone knows this because it's just that way.
America has too many strategic, economic, political and other interests there and will not let anyone upset their plans.
Maduro will realize soon or later that he can not stand on the road to America and defy them.
In the long term, America will win here and help Guaidó to become president.
I'm sure that Guaidó didn't start this action without support and help from America.

What does Venezuela being a US puppet state entail, and is this better than being a puppet state for another country?

This morning we were awaken by news of a military uprising. There is A LOT of info on social media, not much (nearly nothing) in traditional media...

I hope this is over quickly. Maduro has made many bad choices and it's time he stepped sown or was removed from office.

He have deep connections in Los Soles drug cartel. I guess he won't just leave his place so easily.

Venezuela crisis: Dozens injured in clashes in Caracas

A woman was shot dead and dozens injured in the Venezuelan capital Caracas on Wednesday, in clashes between opposition supporters and pro-government forces.

Meanwhile, Mr Guaidó called for a series of strikes to force President Nicolás Maduro to relinquish power.

But Mr Maduro - who is backed by Russia, China and the leaders of Venezuela's military - has refused to cede power.

There were reports of gunfire in the city, and a local NGO, the Venezuelan Observatory of Social Conflict, said a 27-year-old woman had been shot dead during a rally in the opposition stronghold of Altamira.

At least 46 people were injured in clashes between opposition supporters and the security forces.

This woman wasn't just shot in the head, she was beaten and kicked by Maduro's supporters, not unlike what this video shows in my previous post.

I am against the regime in Venezuala, but at the same time, I will never support the USA. What daoes the USA want in Venezuela? a democratic regime, or its oïl?

Probably a democratic regime, since today the US is a net energy EXPORTER.

The demonstrations against Maduro continued today in many cities:

While Maduro's people attempted to keep the population from demonstrating at gun point in some places:

Socialism and women: Obey or get beaten...

Photographer shot by Maduro's national guard for covering the events:

Another journalist wound in the face:

Here the "tactical police squad" (FAES) detains (kidnaps) a demonstrator. Often they are thrown in prison without ever seen a lawyer for years, they do the same to foreigners, journalists, even people returning from work. They just don't care as they feel above the law. There is no rule of law in this country, only the rule of Maduro and his people.

I understand that the Washington puppet Manuel Figuera has been exposed, and his attempt to hijack the military failed. When will DC realise that their incompetent support for Guaido makes the politicians look like bumbling fools, and it discredits the honest and hard working American people who don't want all these wars to force illegal,regime changes.

It's time the Deep State stopped trying to steal Venezuela's oil, and gave Venezuela a chance to rebuild its economy.

Blackwater Founder Calling For 5,000 Mercenaries To Topple Maduro

Quote from: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-30/blackwater-founder-calling-5000-mercenaries-topple-venezuelas-maduro

According to Reuters, Prince — the brother of billionaire Education Secretary Betsy DeVos who has over the past years since selling his mired-in-controversy Blackwater group (now Academi) revived his mercenary empire in China in the form of Frontier Services Group (FSG) — intends to "deploy a private army to help topple Venezuela's socialist president, Nicholas Maduro".

Pri[n]ce has reportedly sought access to Trump administration officials to whom he's attempting to pitch the whole operation, said to involve some 5,000 soldiers-for-hire to be used by opposition leader Juan Guaido, according to multiple sources who spoke to Reuters. The controversial private security CEO has sought investments from both Trump supporters and wealthy Venezuelan exiles, and reportedly held meetings over the plan as recently as mid-April.

Neither the White House nor Guaido opposition representatives have confirmed they were entertaining such a plan, with the latter denying altogether that Guado's team had even spoken with Prince or FSG reps.

Just saw this on reddit. Surprisingly, looks like things haven't scalated to a major conflict given how this time Guaido has armed forces on his side.

It also looks that this whole thing started far away from the Miraflores Palace, which is the presidential workplace, and none of the government facilities have been seized by Guaido's forces, and there aren't any other sublevations from other military forces outside of Caracas...So, I feel like this coup will be nothing but another failure for the opposition. Maduro still has the majority of the military on his side, this will not end well for Guaido.

Venezuela: Guaidó pledges end of Maduro era in militaristic video

Flanked by soldiers near Caracas airbase, opposition leader promises liberation

A military uprising appears to be under way....

The use of soldiers signals to those who follow Maduro that it's finally over, and that they can have refuge and not fear.

That's the final moment, yes.

Going forward will be hard. But that is different than the hopelessness of communism.
