"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Hi there everyone, I wanted to create this post in order to document the current evolving situation regarding Venezuela, The Nobel Peace Prize, and the Trumps/Us actions that are currently happening. You can leave screenshots of evidence, talking points etc. in the comments below.

FYI (for those who did not know)

  • Machado is a fed

  • Machado is associated with Yales World Fellow-program, which is associated with Langley (which is the CIA). She was in the class of 2009.

  • Here is more info on her according to twitter user, and host of “Going Underground” @afshinrattansi (please correct me if that guy is reliable or not) He also uploaded a pic of a letter by her to Netanyahu, and a pic of her with George W. Bush.

Current situation (starting from 09/12/2025), obviously the situation predates that date.

  • 10/12/2025 The US seized oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.

  • 11/12/2025 01:03 AM: US releases video it says shows troops seizing tanker off Venezuela, they boarded the ship via helicopter. The US is claiming that "the tanker has been sanctioned for many years" and that it had been involved in an "illicit oil shipping network that has been supporting foreign terrorist organisations" .Venezuela's government has responded by accusing the US of "theft" and "international piracy", and has previously said it believes the US is actually trying to depose its President Nicolás Maduro. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cy07yk63x80t

I apologize if this is written badly, again the situation is evolving. So I encourage everyone to comment updates and evidence below. Feel free to discuss and comment ur views on the situation.

I am going to use the tag #AllEyesOnVenezuela (sorry if i sound like a lib) on my socials for awareness and to make sure that US propaganda is not dominating the conversation.

The us be like: we seized this oit tanker because its an evil oil tanker. While in our cudtody, we will take good care of this oil tanker.

Also: we are peaceful. all we want is to take your entire country. If you dont like it, you are the aggressor.

i mean, it's all just a new attempt of a dying empire to show his lessened strength because russia and china are kicking its ass and the zionist entity is "taking too long" to transform gaza in a resort for rich pedophiles

corina

besides the typical reactionary scum, everyone and their mom knows that corina is an american agent focused in give the country to the usa as a gift to get the title of "freedom fighter" and having a big, fat check from NED and the CIA, kill all chavistas, and shaping venezuela as a good satellite of usa like colombia was before petro

nobel prize

it's the new grammy awards ceremony...now used to condecorate warlords and usa puppets with a consolation prize when they don't have anything else to be celebrated

Is there any information about the July 28th elections that the libs on Reddit keep talking about?

[–] Mantiddies@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

U mean from last year in Venezuela?

[–] nathanboleshevik@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

On the 28th of July 2024 presidential elections were held in Venezuela. It was Nicholas Maduro (PSUV) against Edmundo González (independent/PUD).Maduro ran for a third consecutive term. Maduro won the election by 51 %.

There were also other opposition candidates but some of those were banned, likely because they worked for the US.

In 2023 Venezuela banned opposition candidate, we all know her, we all hate her: María Corina Machado.

Machado was banned from holding public office for 15 years, she was linked to the crimes of another opposition figure, Juan Gerardo Antonio Guaidó and because she supported international sanctions against Venezuela. Imagine working in the government of a country , you are actively wishing sanctions on. She was still allowed to participate in opposition primaries. Another opposition candidate, Henrique Capriles was given a similar sentence as to Machado’s.

There were lots of “protests,” claims that the elections were illegitimate, international news takes which were biased, gusano takes etc. In 2025 regional elections were held. The opposition boycotted the elections; thus, the voter turnout was smaller. Maduro still won though.

Apologies if this summary was badly written, and that I used Wikipedia (it was just for the most basic stuff) . If anyone wants to add something or correct me feel free to do so.
