According to the US transnational ExxonMobil, on 22 December 2018 the Venezuelan navy expelled two ships that were carrying out prospecting works in the territorial waters between Venezuela and Guyana.

The United States are preparing a war between Latin-American states

Damascus (Syria) | 18 December 2018
Little by little, the partisans of the Cebrowski doctrine are advancing their pawns. If they must cease creating wars in the Greater Middle East, they’ll just turn around and inflame the Caribbean Basin. Above all, the Pentagon is planning to assassinate an elected head of state, ruin his country, and undermine the unity of Latin-America.

Kuczynski, the “Lima Group”, Venezuela and the Eighth Summit of the Americas

Kuczynski, the “Lima Group”, Venezuela and the Eighth Summit of the Americas

Panama (Panama) | 7 July 2018
“The Venezuelan President will not set foot on our soil or enter the air space of Peru”. This is what the President of Peru, correction, former President of Peru, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, declared just a little while ago. Trapped in a scheme of international corruption which binds him to the now famous “Odebrecht Case”, Kuczynski will not attend the Summit of the Americas scheduled to take place in Peru mid-April. For Julio Yao, the Panaman and Diplomatic Analyst, the resignation of the Peruvian President, which occurred only a few hours ago, is endangering the manoeuvre plotted around the so-called Lima Group against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, whose President, Nicolas Maduro, playfully asked this Thursday, in a televised appearance: “Who then is going to receive me in (...)

The hidden stakes behind Venezuela’s presidential election

by Thierry Meyssan

The hidden stakes behind Venezuela's presidential election

Damascus (Syria) | 29 May 2018
Formally speaking, the level of abstention during the Presidential election in Venezuela does not allow us to validate the democratic character of the victory of Nicolás Maduro. However, the amount of participation is easily sufficient, in the middle of an economic war, to illustrate popular support for national institutions. Indeed, far more than the Chàvists’ hold on power, what was in play was the future of the country faced with ongoing aggression.

Canada bans Venezuelans living on its territory from electing their president

20 May 2018
Canada has just notified Venezuela’s ambassador of the prohibition on organizing polling stations for the Venezuelan Presidential elections.
This decision contravenes the Vienna Treaty on Consular Relations. France and Germany mirrored this action in 2014: both these states violated the aforementioned treaty when they prohibited Syrian ambassadors from organizing polling stations when the Syrian Presidential election took place in June 2014 .
Canada, France and Germany are claiming to (...)

The United States "Master Stroke" against Venezuela

Buenos Aires (Argentina) | 17 May 2018
Stella Calloni reveals SouthCom’s secret plan to overthrow the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. This document, which we have already published, contradicts President Trump’s engagements to put an end to the régime changes which have characterised US imperial policy. It demonstrates that the international image of chaos in Venezuela is entirely fabricated and is an exclusive invention of Anglo-Saxon propaganda.

Venezuela, an impossible intervention

Panama (Panama) | 3 March 2018
After violently criticizing the Venezuelan government and its president Nicolás Maduro, after making a further request for the presidential election to be brought forward, the Lima Group, which consists of 12 states, all of which are members of the Organization of American States (OAS), has now made a statement against the early presidential election that Caracas has just called for. This inconsistency on the part of the Lima Group is part of the US’s international campaign against the Bolivarian Republic. A psy-ops seeking to make us think that the country of Hugo Chávez is sinking; that a humanitarian crisis has erupted there on a scale that opens the door to the legitimacy of “humanitarian intervention”. A diplomat from Panama, Julio Yao presents a series of arguments to negate (...)

Venezuela’s Rebellion against the Petrodollar

Venezuela's Rebellion against the Petrodollar

Rome (Italy) | 20 September 2017
Washington’s decision to tie a noose round the neck of Venezuela’s economy (presented as sanctions for notional crimes) is effectively preventing Caracas from allowing its oil to flow to allies of the U.S.A.. The knock on effect: from now on, Venezuela will export its oil to China. By doing so, Venezuela’s contracts will no longer be established in dollars but the yuan. This will soon threaten the supremacy of the US currency and, clearly, the US economy. So now, “the party that thought it had the key to the prison door, is held hostage in the cell”.

It was on 28 July 1954, in Sabaneta de Barinas, Venezuela that one of the most important revolutionary leaders in Latin America’s history was born: Hugo Chávez Frías.
His mother, Elena Frías, brought him into the world, yet only remained with him until he was delivered. Story has it that, as a child growing up, he enjoyed listening to the stories related by his grandmother about the heroes that liberated his country and those who confronted the injustices inflicted by dictatorial governments (...)

Caracas (Venezuela) | 21 May 2017
The recent events of violence that took place in Venezuela, driven by radical, right wing groups, have got sociologists, political scientists, journalists and national and international intellectuals talking.
Thierry Meyssan, a journalist, researcher and expert in geopolitics, warned that these acts form part of a strategy, designed by the US Government, to provide the basis for a military intervention; an intervention similar to what took place in countries in the Middle East and North Africa and the product of campaigns seeking to set up people against people and people against governments; events which have come to be known as the Arab Spring.

In this article, the author focuses on the crisis situation in Venezuela and sets the record straight on what may be the most lied about country in the Western media.
