It's time for an education kids. You've heard a buttload of anti-Maduro propaganda meant to tickle your lizard brain. Surprisingly, the vast majority of it is emotional and devoid of any substance.

Let's get down to some substance and vitally important context.


The Making of Juan Guaidó: How the US Regime Change Laboratory Created Venezuela’s Coup Leader

On October 5, 2005, with Chávez’s popularity at its peak, five Venezuelan “student leaders” arrived in Belgrade, Serbia to begin training for an insurrection.

The students had arrived from Venezuela courtesy of the Center for Applied Non-Violent Action and Strategies, or CANVAS. This group is funded largely through the National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA cut-out that functions as the US government’s main arm of promoting regime change; and offshoots like the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs. According to leaked internal emails from Stratfor, an intelligence firm known as the “shadow CIA,” CANVAS “may have also received CIA funding and training during the 1999/2000 anti-Milosevic struggle.”

CANVAS is a spinoff of Otpor, a Serbian protest group founded by Srdja Popovic in 1998 at the University of Belgrade. Otpor, which means “resistance” in Serbian, was the student group that gained international fame — and Hollywood-level promotion — by mobilizing the protests that eventually toppled Slobodan Milosevic.

This small cell of regime change specialists was operating according to a strategic blueprint that weaponized protest as a form of hybrid warfare, aiming it at states that resisted Washington’s unipolar domination.

According to a leaked email from a Stratfor staffer, after running Milosevic out of power, “the kids who ran OTPOR grew up, got suits and designed CANVAS… or in other words a ‘export-a-revolution’ group that sowed the seeds for a NUMBER of color revolutions. They are still hooked into U.S. funding and basically go around the world trying to topple dictators and autocratic governments (ones that U.S. does not like.”


Stratfor revealed that CANVAS “turned its attention to Venezuela” in 2005, after training opposition movements that led pro-NATO regime change operations across Eastern Europe.

While monitoring the CANVAS training program, Stratfor outlined its insurrectionist agenda in strikingly blunt language: “Success is by no means guaranteed, and student movements are only at the beginning of what could be a years-long effort to trigger a revolution in Venezuela, but the trainers themselves are the people who cut their teeth on the ‘Butcher of the Balkans.’ They’ve got mad skills. When you see students at five Venezuelan universities hold simultaneous demonstrations, you will know that the training is over and the real work has begun.”


By 2010, Popular Will and its foreign backers moved to exploit the worst drought to hit Venezuela in decades. Massive electricity shortages had struck the country due the dearth of water, which was needed to power hydroelectric plants. A global economic recession and declining oil prices compounded the crisis, driving public discontentment.


Stratfor and CANVAS – key advisors of Guaidó and his anti-government cadre – devised a shockingly cynical plan to drive a dagger through the heart of the Bolivarian revolution. The scheme hinged on a 70% collapse of the country’s electrical system by as early as April 2010.


By this point, the Venezuelan opposition was receiving a staggering $40-50 million a year from US government organizations like USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy, according to a report by the Spanish think tank, the FRIDE Institute. It also had massive wealth to draw on from its own accounts, which were mostly outside the country.

In November, 2010, according to emails obtained by Venezuelan security services and presented by former Justice Minister Miguel Rodríguez Torres, Guaidó, Goicoechea, and several other student activists attended a secret five-day training at a hotel dubbed “Fiesta Mexicana” hotel in Mexico. The sessions were run by Otpor, the Belgrade-based regime change trainers backed by the US government. The meeting had reportedly received the blessing of Otto Reich, a fanatically anti-Castro Cuban exile working in George W. Bush’s Department of State, and the right-wing former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.


Inside the meetings, the emails stated, Guaidó and his fellow activists hatched a plan to overthrow President Hugo Chavez by generating chaos through protracted spasms of street violence.

That February, student demonstrators acting as shock troops for the exiled oligarchy erected violent barricades across the country, turning opposition-controlled quarters into violent fortresses known as guarimbas. While international media portrayed the upheaval as a spontaneous protest against Maduro’s iron-fisted rule, there was ample evidence that Popular Will was orchestrating the show.

“None of the protesters at the universities wore their university t-shirts, they all wore Popular Will or Justice First t-shirts,” a guarimba participant said at the time. “They might have been student groups, but the student councils are affiliated to the political opposition parties and they are accountable to them.”

Asked who the ringleaders were, the guarimba participant said, “Well if I am totally honest, those guys are legislators now.”

Around 43 were killed during the 2014 guarimbas. Three years later, they erupted again, causing mass destruction of public infrastructure, the murder of government supporters, and the deaths of 126 people, many of whom were Chavistas. In several cases, supporters of the government were burned alive by armed gangs.

Guaidó was directly involved in the 2014 guarimbas. In fact, he tweeted video showing himself clad in a helmet and gas mask, surrounded by masked and armed elements that had shut down a highway that were engaging in a violent clash with the police. Alluding to his participation in Generation 2007, he proclaimed, “I remember in 2007, we proclaimed, ‘Students!’ Now, we shout, ‘Resistance! Resistance!'”

The Vietnam War, at it's root, was France's fault (like so many wars).

US involvement in the Vietnam War was our fault (for siding with France rather than siding with Vietnam).

It doesn't really fit the overall narrative of the US backing coups in Central and South America either. Kind of an odd duck to stick in there.

Yeah, it's a shame that I can't communicate with liberals through pictures... too bad I don't have a pop up book for you to learn from. lolz

THERE IS AN ARTICLE TO READ

The meme at the end is just fucking eye candy. There isn't one word about Vietnam anywhere in that BEAUTIFULLY written and fabulously informative article. Max Blumenthal is a veeeery good journalist... he's Clinton operative Sidney Blumenthal's son. His credibility is unimpeachable.

I mean really , what do you have to lose by reading an article? I know you like pictures... we ALL LIKE PICTURES.

Since y'all like pictures so much and seem unable to read

election_results.jpg

I can read just fine.

I'm already familiar with the history of US support of coups in south and central America. I referenced vietnam because it was weird to include it in the pic (and it was).

The infographic you have linked above is disgustingly supportive of rigged elections.

Lolz. You certainly are thick.

Almost every "invasion" the U.S. participated in was preceded by various coup and assassination attempts by the CIA/State Department/various other agencies.

The CIA was HEAVILY involved in Vietnam as early as the fucking 1950s.

Vietnam was just like Costa Rica, Panama or any other Latin American country... they had RESOURCES that the global elite wanted... EXACTLY LIKE VENEZUELA. Uniroyal was a CIA front and was involved in partnership with the French rubber companies to secure the vast rubber plantations in Vietnam.

American and French elite wanted that rubber and they first tried assassinations and coups to get their way. When those don't work... WAR is (was and will continue to be) the next solution.

The Number one reason ALLOWING the global elite to keep overthrowing governments so that they can grab the natural resources...

... is because people like you don't believe that it is happening WHEN IT'S HAPPENING.

The United States is trying to overthrow the government of Venezuela so it can grab it's oil and gold. Anybody who doesn't see that is truly a fucking retard. You are being manipulated by the mainstream corporate media to support the overthrow of Venezuela, just like you supported the overthrow of Ukraine, Honduras, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Haiti etc.

I just wonder if there has ever been an illegal U.S. sponsored coup in your lifetime that you didn't support.

The infographic you have linked above is disgustingly supportive of rigged elections.

That is your take-away? Your take-away should be that Guaido hasn't received any fucking votes Brainiac.

Venezuela has the world's most scrutinized and observed elections on the planet.

More than 300 international representatives from organisations such as the African Union, the Caribbean Community and the Electoral Experts Council of Latin America, as well as former heads of states, parliamentarians, trade unionists and solidarity activists, were present for Venezuela’s May 20 presidential vote.

The opposition boycotted them... and that was their fucking choice. They boycotted because they would have fucking LOST big time... it's a tactic losers employ and have been employing since the dawn of civilization... it's one of the oldest tricks in the book.

Plus it's TRUMP'S COUP... you bitch, whine and moan about Trump and puff up your fucking chest like you are a stalwart member of the the opposition... and when you have every opportunity to see a situation for what it is, you'd rather be hypnotized by the yellow press and toe Trump's NEOCON fucking line like a good fucking boy.

You need to get your head out of your ass QUICK... your fucking soul is on the line brother.

Everything I typed is fact. Everything is in the public record

To compare it to Alex Jones wearing a tinfoil hat betrays your ignorance

The banality of evil manifests itself through apathy and irreverence. I see you have chosen your path.

Ahhhhh Freedom Fries for everyone; break out your purple thumb ink.

Not really surprising considering how these fuckers (this weeks white knights or good guys) just popped up out of the ground.

Venezuela poses zero threat to the US; it's none of our fucking business who runs the country or how they do it. The only strategic reason we are remotely tied to it is because of our dependence on oil.

We never "officially" get directly involved in coups unless they are successful.

SOUTHCOM and the A Teams (CIA, DIA or NSA) haven't guessed or gotten shit right since before Castro or Guevara. Most of the fucking numbskulls (Somoza, Torrijos, Niega, etc) we back we end up having to help dig out, topple or get rid of in some fashion.

If the US would leave the smaller countries to figure out shit on their own those same countries would be less prone to run into the arms of Putin, Xi, Taliban, ISIS, Al Qaeda (pick a flavor of the week) or anyone that could pose a no shit threat to our country waving around money, arms and a sympathetic shoulder to cry on.

If we don't like people fucking with our elections, we shouldn't fuck with anyone else's.

The CIA also set up operatives in Africa to fight communism by training and arming local Africans...the CIA also did their business in Nicaragua...and in Afghanistan (when they created al Qaeda and funded thousands of mujahideen to fight the USSR, and put bin Laden on their payroll...America has always tried to influence locals to fight ideological wars for us, so that we don't look like we're putting our own troops on the ground. CIA operatives are out there and always have been. This CANVAS groups sounds a lot like what the CIA was doing all over the place, and probably still does.

WW2 was France's Fault because France's insistence on insanely harsh terms of surrender after World War I laid the groundwork for someone like Hitler to Rise to Power. The Nazi party was birthed by France's spite.

Vietnam was France's fault because the conflict in vietnam arose from France's failed attempt to forcibly colonize the country in the same fashion that Britain had colonized India. Ho Chi Minh was an admirer of the USA and pleaded with Woodrow Wilson for help against France for years but we blew him off repeatedly (cuz fuck brown people).

Take France out of Vietnam and out of the Treaty of Versaille and both World War 2 and the Vietnam War don't occur.

It's just an alternate perspective.

If a person keeps mistreating a dog and the dog bites a mail carrier, does the dog bear all the blame?
I think HITLER may have had something to do with WW2.

No shit, really?

But if France was excluded from the treaty of Versailles, or if they had listened to the other allies, the conditions that allowed Hitler to rise to power wouldn't have been in place.

Adolf Hitler would have still been around, but there wouldn't have been a Nazi party (not one that rose to prominence in the way it did).

Let me ask you a question... do you think the terms of the Treaty of Versailles were fair and reasonable?

I think the terms of the treaty of Versailles were reasonable. France was bled white and her prime industrial region destroyed by their Germans. France needed and deserved some sort of assurance that Germany would never be in a position to wage war easily, both from a military and economic standpoint.

And, after all, it was Germany that violated Belguim’s Neutrality in order to invade France, not the other way around.
