Text of the page (random words):
pear killed two more men in a boat and the us allegedly attacked a venezuelan port with drones i write allegedly because the only source for this claim is the dear leader himself who told a radio interviewer that the us had knocked out some type of big facility where ships come from at a mar a lago event for the israeli prime minister he elaborated there was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs they load the boats up with drugs so we hit all the boats and now we hit the area it s the implementation area there s where they implement and that is no longer around a spokesperson for special operations command which oversees us operations in the caribbean said special operations did not support this operation cnn reported that the cia was responsible for the drone attack did the attack really happen the venezuelan goverment has not denounced it venezuelan media have not reported on it despite the 50 million us bounty on his head president maduro continues hoeing his official row he made no mention of any cia operation during an hourlong speech on tuesday at an international leadership school for women but the blockade is certainly having an effect press tv an iranian news agency reports that medicine prices have soared el pais an outlet which opposes the bolivarian revolution to the max also reports on soaring prices and admits they are a result not of socialist mismanagement but of the us sanctions and blockad e there have been other articles along these lines the message being never mind a us invasion what concerns people most is making ends meet this seems like concern trolling to me yes economic hardships are horrible to bear and serious journalists have tried to estimate the number of venezuelan deaths caused by us sanctions but a barrage of cruise missiles fired at the civilian coast will be infinitely worse four un rapporteurs condemed the blockade as an act of illegal armed aggression and said that those responsible for killing 104 people at sea must be held responsible and on 22 december president maduro sent a letter to the other heads of state of latin america and the caribbean in it he urged them to condemn the 104 acts of murder and the ongoing piracy and to demand an end to the us blockade his letter ends to defend venezuela today is to defend peace international legality and the stability of the world how many of maduro s colleagues will stand up and demand an end to the blockade in the coming year in case of any doubt as to why these acts of gross cruelty and stupidity are ongoing why there is money to be made slimmed down former pol mike pompeo has found a new humanitarian cause to champion dick cheney s old company halliburton apparently halliburton have failed to make as much money as they would have liked so naturally they are pursuing an investor state dispute settlement claim against venezuela pompeo thinks that halliburton s interests should be prioritized when the us takes over the country in naked capitalism nick corbishly reports on how entirely bogus halliburton s claims are venezuela withdrew from isds agreements years ago and cheney s company stopped doing business there because of us sanctions no matter helliburton think they have a good chance to make money from nothing here meanwhile jack poulson reports on the former cia venezuela chief of station who has reinvented himself as a dc lobbyist and is poaching some of the secretary of state s client list of angry latin american expatriates money to be made naked capitalism is very good on the venezuelan story on christmas day they ran an excellent piece by curro jimenez regarding the venezuelan and honduran elections and the similiar problems the vote counting encountered in both countries a left wing government was in office and in both cases an electronic count fracas encouraged the right to claim victory the crew of the runaway tanker bella 1 having refused to submit to us piracy have painted a russian tricolor flag on the side of their vessel according to euro news washington had obtained a court order permitting seizure based on the tanker s history of moving iranian crude but the flag complicates enforcement under maritime law the un convention on the law of the sea permits authorities to board ships flying false flags or operating without valid registration if russia formally registered bella 1 forcible boarding could trigger diplomatic tensions and lloyds list reports that a very large crude carrier owned by china the vlcc thousand sunny is on course for venezuela and will enter the blockade zone in january and that another chinese flagged carrier the vlcc xing ye is currently slow steaming off french guiana these vessels are not sanctioned and there is no court order against them what will the blockaders do when they arrive let us end on a positive note telesur tells the story of dr humberto fernández morán a venezuelan scientist who in the 1960s gained global acclaim for inventing the diamond knife a revolutionary tool in electron microscopy the doctor was reportedly offered the nobel prize in physiology or medicine but on condition that he renounce his venezuelan citizenship and become a us national this the good doctor refused to do quédense con su premio nobel que yo me quedo con mi nacionalidad venezolana president maduro recently quoted fernández morán as saying it was probabaly unnecessary for maduro to mention the current recipient of the nobel peace prize who wants her country to be bombed by the americans fernández morán didn t get a nobel and lived and died in venezuela the national university of sciences is named after him happy new year posted in uncategorized

posted on december 23 2025 by alexcox com this is not the first time the western powers have blockaded venezuela in 1902 britain and its perennial allies germany and italy blockaded venezuela for three months after venezuela then one of the poorest countries in latiin america defaulted on its foreign debts wiley s online libary describes this as classic gunboat diplomacy most of the voices we hear in this matter are western ones us government reps mainstream media the blogosphere so it s good to hear a venezuelan speak about the situation in counterpunch a caracas based filmmaker offers a local response a second oil tanker the m f centuries also flagged in panama has been seized by the us the venezuelan government declared this piracy but the gcaptain site reports that chevron continues production in venezuela without disruption so the blockade is a selective one and a third tanker the bella 1 en route to venezuela has refused to submit to boarding by the us coast gard and outrun the blockade bella 1 is a chinese vessel it will be interesting to see how china responds to this attempted act of piracy and what the us does when the bella 1 leaves port bound for china full of crude oil in an announcement to strike fear into the hearts of narco terrorists the world over the navy has announced that it will create a new golden fleet of trump class battleships i urge you to visit the website which the department of war has created for this new class of large surface combatants with the most destructive fire power of any surface ship to ever sail because i doubt that it will ever be much more than a website plus a multi billion dollar money pit the us is unable to keep up with its own orders for nuclear subs here s a gao report detailing the difficulties the navy has in building ships of any kind nevertheless we re assured the the uss defiant will bristle with high tech rail guns directed energy weapons and hypersonic missiles weapons the us does not yet possess the gao also reports that the us navy s fire prevention is not fit for purpose it has been outsourced to contractors and the navy can no longer extinguish catastrophic fires such as the one which consumed the uss bonhomme richard as she sat in dock the us continues to augment its forces surrounding venezuela a new sof agreement will reactivate its military bases in the democratic haven of paraguay vijay prashad has written about the extent to which trinidad and tobago face becoming a militarized dependent of the us and exxon mobil and reuters has published a comic explainer venezuela s billions in distressed debt who s in line to collect capitalists rejoice once venezuela has been sanctioned blockaded and carpet bombed you can pick through the remains will the us attack the longer the blockade flotilla floats the more money is wasted and the mission s overall capability to do whatever it is meant to do degrades in response to western attacks on ships registered in third countries russia is said to be flying the flag on an increasing number of tankers it doesn t need venezuelan oil but china does what if china re flags the bella 1 as an openly chinese vessel before she sets sail this writer predicts no war this year the uss defiant ain t quite ready beware war early next year when the us suggests a round of negotiations and take into account that the privateers don t just have to fight the bolivarian armed forces and the militia but a determined crew of several hundred bikers who have assembled in caracas we are pacifists we want peace declared a participant dressed as a pirate but we are prepared for war posted in uncategorized tagged 1902 blockade bella 1 blockade chevron china history news oil politics trinidad tobago uss defiant venezuela blockade posted on december 17 2025 by alexcox com the us has declared war the leader of the world s free peoples has posted on social media venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest armada ever assembled in the history of south america for the theft of our assets and many other reasons including terrorism drug smuggling and human trafficking the venezuelan regime has been designated a foreign terrorist organization therefore today i am ordering a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers going into and out of venezuela he added it the blockade will only get bigger and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before a declared blockade like this is an act of war venezuela is entitled to respond militarily but what can it really do if it sinks the uss gravely docked in port of spain a few miles from venezuelan waters imagine the western response the us astonished that one of its prime assets has been wrecked by a missile or a drone swarm will lash out disproportionately raining tomahawk missiles on venezuela s civilian population and the western media will unite to declare this an act of self defence in other words another gaza all venezuela can do is wait and while venezuela waits the clouds of american war continue to gather trinidad and tobago have authorized the transit of us military aircraft through its airports and air space and a us military refueling tanker flying with its transponder turned off almost hit a jet blue passenger plane departing curaçao jet blue says it will complain to the appropriate authorities the air traffic controller involved told the jet blue pilot it has been outrageous with the unidentified aircraft within our air it s less than a year since a us army helicopter collided with a civilian airliner over ronald reagan national airport killing 67 people telesur reports that in peru the unelected president has authorized the entry of u s military personnel armed with combat weapons the us troops will be there all next year conducting training exercises with peruvian forces as a result the us may designate peru a major non nato ally lucky peru i wonder what their troops will train to do and in chile the son of a nazi who escaped justice via one of the many rat lines has been elected president i cannot bring myself to link to that story however the state owned oil company petroleos de venezuela pdvsa say that oil exports continue as usual unaffected by the seizure of the panamanian tanker or the declared blockade and president maduro has complained to the secretary general of the united nations antónio guterres about the us threats no doubt guterres will leap into characteristic immediate and decisive action more impressively julian assange has sued the nobel peace prize for giving more than a million dollars to a war monger breaking swedish law in the process noble assange what he went through would have broken many a man and he is still fighting for the truth and to prove that words have meaning his legal brief states that the nobel committee s decision to award la machado the peace prize and the 11 million swedish kroner 1 18 million usd reward which accompanies it means that there is a real risk that funds derived from nobel s endowment have been or will be diverted from their charitable purpose to facilitate aggression crimes against humanity and war crimes the above map shows a russian tanker hyperion approaching venezuela yesterday the declaration of war concludes america will not allow a hostile regime to take our oil land or any other assets all of which must be returned to the united states immediately thank you for your attention to this matter not that it matters but venezuelan oil reserves were nationalized not by chavez or maduro but by a liberal pro us regime in 1976 chavez and maduro nationalized other us oil company assets if you only read one of these links i recommend that you click on this counterpunch article by michael k smith the author makes many interesting points and writes knowledgeably about the formation of the venezuelan military the pre revolutionary venezuelan armed forces were fragmented in divisions and brigades hugo chavez organized the country in regions and insured that in each region there was a military structure with all the necessary components army navy national guard popular militias and the people if one region comes under attack it now has the capacity to defend itself alone there is no need for caracas to move in units from somewhere else in addition to this redundant self sufficiency venezuela enjoys complete unity of purpose and frequent contact between the government and the troops president maduro visits all the barracks personally showing up at dawn he freely shares with the troops runs with them and does military exercises with them many militia members have been chavistas since childhood forming unbreakable bonds of loyalty
