The imperialist aggression of the United States against Venezuela is nothing new; it has been going on for 26 years, since 1999, when Hugo Chávez was elected president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. This is because, since then, this country has refused to bow to US imperialism. In addition, according to OPEC, this South American country has the world’s largest proven oil reserves, with 303 billion barrels (2024), and significant gold deposits. The mining potential in the Orinoco region is immense and closely linked to that of the Esequibo. The value of strategic mineral resources, including coltan and rare earths, is estimated at over $2 billion. Since Hugo Chávez, Venezuela is no longer the “summer residence of the Rockefellers” but defends its immense resources, which are coveted by imperialist greed and Venezuelan fascist mafia groups.
The warmongering Trump administration, through its fascist Secretary of State Marco Rubio, declares that Maduro is the head of the criminal organization “Tren de Aragua,” and this is used as a pretext to persecute Venezuelan immigrants in the US and send them to the concentration camps of El Salvador and Guantánamo, although Venezuela has managed to bring back its imprisoned compatriots through bilateral agreements. It is part of imperialist policy to brand their enemies as drug traffickers and terrorists in order to justify their direct intervention.
In August last year, the US government sought to capitalize on electoral fraud in Venezuela during turbulent times by not only refusing to recognize the election results and Nicolás Maduro’s fair victory, as expected, but also by inciting far-right parties to take to the streets and cause trouble for the Venezuelan people.
The double standards of imperialism disturb even its own allies, as it conceals or supports the atrocities committed by presidents or sectors loyal to it. This was the case in Chile in 1973, where it not only supported but also orchestrated the coup against Salvador Allende, who had been democratically elected by the people; in February 2004, it was Haiti’s turn, when a US special forces commando kidnapped Jean Bertrand Aristide and forced him to resign as president, only to then sell his resignation to the public as voluntary.
The same thing happened in Honduras in 2009 with Manuel Zelaya, with a coup planned in Miami; in 2010, the claws of the empire reached Ecuador when President Rafael Correa was kidnapped for several hours; in 2019, Evo Morales was removed from office in Bolivia for alleged fraud that could never be proven; in 2022, Pedro Castillo is kidnapped in Peru; not to mention the coup attempts, the incitements, the provocations, the threats, the blockades, and the permanent terror.
The military escalation of the US Army in the Caribbean to combat drug cartels is, according to the US State Department, absurd in reality, as is the media’s portrayal of the bombing of a ship carrying alleged “terrorists from the Aragua train, loaded with drugs,” a non-existent act intended to intimidate, pressure, and warn other governments, such as Mexico’s, that are not intimidated or confused by alleged invasions.
However, this is very dangerous, because these are not just actions related to Venezuela, but a plan by the fascist, genocidal US government led by Marco Rubio, who controls the US State Department, to destabilize the entire region in the context of increasingly intense inter-imperialist conflicts.
So it is US imperialism itself that determines who is good and who is evil, who is a terrorist and who is not, which regimes are democratic and which are dictatorial, in short, against whom the guns must be aimed and whom it is necessary to “protect.”
Benjamin Netanyahu, however, a proven criminal responsible for the deaths of more than 70,000 people and the destruction of schools, hospitals, sports fields, and buildings, and who is described as a dictator by the Israeli people themselves, a man with a genocidal ideology, completely dehumanized, not only enjoys the political support of the United States, but a high percentage of its annual budget goes to this genocidal murderer to wipe out human lives and cause material destruction.
For all these reasons, we indignantly reject the threats of US imperialism to invade Venezuela. We express our unconditional support for the Venezuelan people in the face of these threats. We demand respect for its democratically elected government.
