The National Electoral Council of Venezuela (CNE), the only institution with the power to announce the results of the electoral consultations that take place in the country, as it happens in any state of law, released the practically final figures of the presidential elections held on July 28. With 96.87% of the votes counted, despite the continuous and violent cyber war launched from abroad against the computer system on which the Venezuelan electoral structure is based, the incumbent president, Nicolás Maduro, won with 6,408,884 votes, corresponding to 51.8%; in second place was the fascist candidate Edmundo González Urrutia, proposed by the Democratic Unity Table (MUD), a movement led from Washington and chaired by the coup militant Maria Corina Machado, with 5,326,104 votes, or 43.18%.

A little more than a million votes saved Venezuela from falling directly into the hands of the internal and external sectors responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people victims of the criminal sanctions imposed by the Group of Seven (G7), which includes the European Union; not forgetting the organized theft of Venezuela’s main public assets, especially oil and tons of gold deposited in good faith in institutions of the so-called «civilized West» – an act of extortion in which Portugal also participates.

That same West, its politically and ethically corrupted powers and the transnational propaganda apparatus that gives them a voice under the pseudonym of “media” have ostensibly ignored the announced results.

With the prophetic gift that comes from an unquestionable authority to pronounce on what is or is not democratic in this world, the institutions that have hijacked power in the Western world had already decided the results of the Venezuelan elections many weeks before July 28. One of two things: either the fascist candidate won, a kind of replacement of the disappeared Guaidó by his little grandfather; or there was electoral fraud – which always happens when democratic popular consultations around the world provide numbers that do not coincide with those allowed by Washington or Brussels.

Maduro won at the polls; but the winner proclaimed by the decision-makers in Washington was his old acquaintance and deadly collaborator González Urrutia. As Anthony Blinken, the acting U.S. Secretary of State, sentenced, “given the overwhelming evidence, it is clear to the United States” – and its subjects, we might add – “and, more importantly, to the Venezuelan people, that Edmundo González Urrutia won the majority of votes in Venezuela’s July 28 presidential election.”

Magnanimously, the secretary of state who works overtime as a rock guitarist in Nazi bars in Kiev after copious dinners with the Banderite hosts of the Azov battalion (and their heteronyms) hoped for “negotiations” that would allow “a peaceful transition of power” in Caracas and threatened that “the international community” could “react accordingly” if this does not happen.

“International community”, in Blinken’s mouth, means that ultra-minority group of countries, comprising no more than 15% of the world’s population, that obey the “rules-based international order” decided in Washington, even at a time when the White House closes due to a temporary lack of tenants.

“Legitimacy”, according to the West

The sources of Anthony Blinken and his partners in NATO and the European Union could not be more reliable and objective.

For weeks, the Western judges of democracy fed on highly scientific polls produced by independent entities and, at the same time, owned by sectors committed to the candidate nominated by Maria Corina Machado. The data left no doubt: González Urrutia would have more than 70% of the votes and Maduro was condemned not to go beyond 30. This is what the exempt companies Meganálisis and Poder Y Estratégia guaranteed and repeated.

Several other polling institutes, more numerous even than the aforementioned sources of euphoria in the corporate media, predicted, it is true, that Maduro would win. Figures released, for example, by Hinterlaces, ICS, Datavia or Ideadatos were consistent, week after week, in predicting the victory of the incumbent president, but this information was certainly withheld from the major propaganda media such as CNN, the BBC, the New York TimesEl PaísLe Monde and the like.

Francisco Rodriguez, an economist and adviser to the main opposition candidate, warned that the polls guaranteeing Edmundo González’s landslide victory “could be oversized, even suggesting the deliberate manipulation of data.” No one listened to him – after all, he was alone against the world, where would he have gone to get such an inconvenient and absurd idea?

On election day, exit polls broadcast by the same companies at the service of the Democratic Unity Table (MUD) confirmed the previous predictions, always around 70-30 for Edmundo González, who could thus start the triumphal parade towards the presidential palace of Miraflores to wear the sash usurped by Maduro.

The parallel counting centre installed in Miami, certainly directly connected to the State Department and Blinken himself, was exposing the enormous dimension of the foreseeable “electoral fraud” since the data obtained confirmed the trend found at the exit polls: the overwhelming victory of Edmundo González. The “counting” apparatus in Miami was installed according to the instructions of Majalli Meda, Maria Corina Machado’s right-hand man in the preparation of conspiratorial actions and, in addition, head of “Strategic Planning” of the fascist organization Vente Venezuela.

All these procedures, many of them already known during more than twenty years of attacks against Venezuelan democracy, represented steps in the usual strategy of rejecting the official results with the aim of proclaiming a victory that did not exist at the ballot box – thus trying to open the door to a desired external intervention, preferably military. This is what this unavoidable figure of Western credibility, Argentine President Javier Milei, requested, soon followed by someone of equivalent prestige: Elon Musk.

One of the first pre-electoral attitudes of the fascist Edmundo González Urrutia was to refuse to sign a pact between all the candidates, committing himself to accept the results of the polls. Two of the ten contestants did not do so, one of them precisely Corina Machado’s alter-ego: this commitment is “an indication of the bias that characterizes this electoral campaign,” González explained. In other words, the elections before they were already elections: a fraud.

Correct numbers, it doesn’t matter

Thus was set up the virtual electoral reality that allows the U.S. Secretary of State to speak of the victory of the opposition, of a «political transition» and of the predictable action of the «international community» to enforce the supposed results, so invented that not even the information released by Corina Machado’s megaphones coincided with each other.

As soon as the 70-30 votes in favour of González Urrutia were announced, based on the supposed and miraculous access of the fascist opposition to the results of all the polling stations, that to date it has not even been possible for the National Electoral Council to ascertain, due to the cyber war waged from abroad; how the information was partial and casuistic in the middle of a hallucinating dance of numbers without any support.

For some official spokesmen, this triumph was certain even on the basis of only 30% of the electoral records. At 11 p.m. on July 28, when the news of Gonzalez Urrutia’s landslide victory by 70-30 was spreading around the world and launching a wave of hysterical euphoria among the Western political classes and their propaganda organs, the secretary general of the MUD itself, Omar Bertozo, made a prudent statement arguing that “with 30% of the votes counted, it is hasty to calculate results.” An opinion that his presidential candidate did not listen to or did not take into account because, in a press conference held at about the same time, he claimed that he already knew 40% of the results of the polling stations; while, sitting at the same table, her boss Corina Machado even said she knew the numbers of all the polling stations. Many hours later, during the morning of the 29th, the MUD’s legal advisor, Perkins Rocha, admitted that he was aware of “an important number of minutes”, although he did not have “exact data”. Nothing was arithmetically right, but there was one certainty: Edmundo González had won without a doubt.

In any case, numerical results were superfluous. The news of the “electoral fraud” and the “historic victory” of Edmundo González Urrutia was already making its way where it had to – in the “civilized Western world”. After a couple of desperate years of waiting, Venezuela had “elected” a new Guaidó.

“I don’t want a vote, but I want Nicolás to go!”

At the same time, the terrorist wing of the MUD fulfilled its role by trying to wreak havoc on the streets of the big cities.

The so-called “comanditos” and the gangs of hundreds of criminals who follow them in acts of vandalism presented as “popular protests” in the West behave in such a way as to give the impression that Venezuela is on a war footing, not hesitating to destroy public structures of basic necessity such as hundreds of electoral facilities, power plants, universities and schools, health centres, buses, Caracas Metro stations. Destabilizing and spreading fear are the objective, seeking to create a climate of ungovernability conducive to external intervention to allow the “new elected authorities” to take office.

The “comanditos” are assault groups organized by Corina Machado and the neo-Nazi group Vente Venezuela, which defined them as “a contingent fully prepared to defend the vote and even to face the challenges that may arise after July 28.” Terrorists are paid $150 a day; It will not be difficult to deduce that such generosity is guaranteed by the funds of Colombian drug trafficking, to which Venezuelan fascism has always been associated, as was found in the episodes involving the figure of Juan Guaidó.

 

The appearance of the commanders reflects an evolution and a sharpening of the strategy of violence in the streets, the authorities stress. President Nicolás Maduro believes that “what distinguishes these acts of violence from previous ones is the unprecedented and alarming speed with which armed organizations and criminal groups have taken control of the demonstrations. Until now,” he added, “‘civil society’ had a role in launching the actions, but now it is immediately replaced by violent groups that turn the streets into battlefields.”

The qualitative evolution of the terrorist organization may represent, according to Maduro, the existence of a coup d’état strategy, in fact typical of a figure like the fascist Corina Machado, currently barred from running for public office for her involvement in 2002 in the attempt that removed Commander Hugo Chávez from the presidency for 48 hours, until he was released and reappointed in office by a popular insurrection.

The “comanditos”, therefore, are the most up-to-date version of the “spontaneity of the popular demonstrations against electoral fraud”, so hailed in the West as an expression of the democratic vitality of the Venezuelan opposition.

The most heard slogan during the actions of terror in the streets, chanted at the instigation of thugs with helmets and batons, sometimes displaying firearms, is: “I don’t want a vote, I don’t want anything; what I want is for Nicolás to go».

This demonstrates a heartwarming respect for elections and the popular vote capable of moving the most circumspect and serious Western politician.

An advanced and reliable system

The succession of elections and popular consultations in Venezuela throughout the process of “Chavista” political transformation – and no people have gone to the polls so many times in the last quarter of a century – is the most scrutinized process on a global scale, bringing together many thousands of international observers, with the overwhelming majority of them – as has now happened – speaking out for transparency, the fairness and quality of the listening system of the popular will. They mainly praise the operation of the electronic voting system accompanied by a process of rebuttal through the juxtaposition of the traditional mechanism of ballot papers – that is, a double check.

Twelve years ago, former U.S. President James Carter had no hesitation in describing the Venezuelan electoral process as “the most improved in the world.” On July 28, dozens of citizens from all over the world, many of them Americans belonging to non-governmental organizations, found that the vote took place according to democratic parameters and according to a very advanced transparency protocol. Numerous observers on the ground, obviously silenced by the corporate media, declared themselves surprised by what they were able to witness, even leaving Caracas convinced that the Venezuelan electoral system is much more credible than that practiced in the United States of America.

The European Union observers were not present, which makes perfect sense because they have known for many months that they would witness ‘fraud’. Apparently, MEP Bugalho was unaware of the situation and ended up receiving a useful lesson when, in the absence of an invitation, he was advised to return to his origins, thus experiencing the dignity with which a sovereign people and political system behave, something extinct in Portugal.

The persistence of the Venezuelan people in maintaining the political system established during the governments of President Hugo Chávez is not the only reason for Western hysteria whenever there are elections in the country. G7, NATO, the European Union do nothing more than assume the pains of the U.S. regime in the face of the consistent challenge emanating from a quintain located in the universe where the Monroe doctrine prevails, a powerful colonial and imperial tongs.

The Venezuelan practice despairs the West, which is unable to remain within the limits of a minimum decency, because, in our times, it goes beyond the dominant orientations in countries and regimes that are not aligned with “liberal democracy” and not always docile in the face of neoliberal demands.

Venezuela is proud to remain a sovereign country, which is not recommended; Moreover, it does not obey the rules-based international order and continues to be governed by international law – which falls into the realms of the intolerable. In addition, making use of the independence it cultivates on the international stage, it develops multifaceted and equal relations with countries around the world, regardless of their political regimes, guided only by the national interest and the defence of its people, especially when it remains exposed to the crimes against humanity committed by the Western system of power. The sanctions and their consequences, according to reports compiled by Alfredo de Zayas, former UN rapporteur on human rights, are “crimes against humanity”. Tens of thousands of people, according to the same source, have already died due to hunger and lack of medicines caused by international punishments and the theft of national property.

What most exasperates, however, the Western centres of power is the socialist, anti-capitalist, and anti-imperialist orientation invoked by Venezuela’s political system, thus integrating itself into the challenge of multipolarity against disintegrating unipolarity. It is not something that is used or admissible in the 21st century, especially after the “burial” of socialism at the end of the 20th century and in an era in which neoliberalism and the manifestations of fascism inherent to it merged with liberal democracy.

The Western behaviour in relation to the decisions of the Venezuelan people is a flagrant example of the totalitarian temptation prevailing in international relations from a colonial and imperial domination that, despite the cult of violence and war, crumbles a little more every day.

Nazi-fascism is «our» friend

There are plenty of examples that, in an attempt to stop the hecatomb, the institutions of power in the collective West do not hesitate to resort to the original Nazi-fascism or to its more or less “updated” variants.

The alliance of the United States, NATO and the European Union with Kiev’s Nazi-Banderism is a reality of our days and, in truth, no one takes seriously the corporate propaganda platitudes that “there are no Nazis in Ukraine” or that Azov is just a “nationalist” group fighting for the independence of its homeland.

The Western powers are assuming, especially in practice, that the essential thing is to defeat and dismantle Russia, to break the central axis of multipolarity (let us observe the growing pressure on China and the increasingly serious provocations against Iran) and to preserve at all costs the conditions and means, especially for war, to perpetuate the «rules-based international order».

What is valid for Ukraine is valid for Venezuela. The West resorts to fascism to try to overthrow Chavismo and, for this, electoral periods are only part of the strategy.

In his memoirs, the fascist and former chairman of Trump’s National Security Council, John Bolton, confessed that he was behind the drone attack on the life of Nicolás Maduro in 2018, during a rally in Caracas.

Guaidó’s promotion to “interim president” resulted from Washington and Brussels’ constant flirtation with fascism to return Venezuela to the fold of submission where it should always have remained.

Let us now look at the figure and curriculum of the new “transitional president” in Venezuela – Blinken dixit – the candidate of the coup plotter Corina Machado, Edmundo González Urrutia, that good-natured grandpa who always has bags of sunflower seeds on hand to feed the parrots that visit him on the balcony of his house, in the morning and in the evening. “You can spend hours feeding them,” says her daughter Mariana during a candid CNN report on the new Venezuelan idol of the West.

During his life, Edmundo González was a “diplomat” with the ability and time to work overtime. Between 1979 and 1985 he served as number two at the Venezuelan Embassy in El Salvador and, together with his number one, Leopoldo Castillo, also known as “El Mata-Curas”, he became an “agent of death” to organize terrorist missions as part of the U.S. coup plot called “Operation Condor”.

The venerable democrat Edmundo González, representative of “our values” against Venezuelan democracy, was one of the operatives of the terrorist actions carried out by the Salvadoran army, together with a myriad of death squads structured by it, which unleashed the deadly civil war in the face of the liberating offensive of the Farabundo Marti National Salvation Front.

Secret CIA documents declassified in 2009 reveal that the actions of the Venezuelan duo Castillo and González between 1979 and 1985 in El Salvador are responsible for the murder of 13,195 civilians, among them Monsignor Óscar Romero, archbishop of San Salvador, several priests and nuns – hence the nickname given to the number one of the Embassy.

Monsignor Romero, known as “the voice of the voiceless”, had the audacity to deliver a dramatic homily on March 23, 1980: “In the name of God and of this suffering people, whose laments rise to heaven every day, I beg you, I beseech you, I command you: stop the repression”. The next day he was shot dead during the liturgical celebration by a sniper trained in the sinister School of the Americas. During the prelate’s funeral, more than two dozen people were murdered.

Already “liberated” from his role in the Embassy, but still acting as a “consultant to the intelligence structures”, the Venezuelan “Western” candidate Edmundo González Urrutia is identified in the CIA documents as responsible for the murder of six Jesuits and two officials on November 16, 1989.

The crimes of Edmundo González – crimes against humanity under international law – are yet to be tried in both Spain and El Salvador, the countries of origin of the victims of the Venezuelan executioner, a bird-loving grandfather.

The Western power system undoubtedly knows how to choose the right people to defend “our civilizational values” throughout the world.

Between 1979 and 1985 he served as number two at the Venezuelan Embassy in El Salvador and, together with his number one, Leopoldo Castillo, also known as “El Mata-Curas”, he became an “agent of death” to organize terrorist missions as part of the U.S. coup plot called “Operation Condor”.

The venerable democrat Edmundo González, representative of “our values” against Venezuelan democracy, was one of the operatives of the terrorist actions carried out by the Salvadoran army, together with a myriad of death squads structured by it, which unleashed the deadly civil war in the face of the liberating offensive of the Farabundo Marti National Salvation Front.

Secret CIA documents declassified in 2009 reveal that the actions of the Venezuelan duo Castillo and González between 1979 and 1985 in El Salvador are responsible for the murder of 13,195 civilians, among them Monsignor Óscar Romero, archbishop of San Salvador, several priests and nuns – hence the nickname given to the number one of the Embassy.

Monsignor Romero, known as “the voice of the voiceless”, had the audacity to deliver a dramatic homily on March 23, 1980: “In the name of God and of this suffering people, whose laments rise to heaven every day, I beg you, I beseech you, I command you: stop the repression”. The next day he was shot dead during the liturgical celebration by a sniper trained in the sinister School of the Americas. During the prelate’s funeral, more than two dozen people were murdered.

Already “liberated” from his role in the Embassy, but still acting as a “consultant to the intelligence structures”, the Venezuelan “Western” candidate Edmundo González Urrutia is identified in the CIA documents as responsible for the murder of six Jesuits and two officials on November 16, 1989.

The crimes of Edmundo González – crimes against humanity under international law – are yet to be tried in both Spain and El Salvador, the countries of origin of the victims of the Venezuelan executioner, a bird-loving grandfather.

The Western power system undoubtedly knows how to choose the right people to defend “our civilizational values” throughout the world.

The National Electoral Council of Venezuela (CNE), the only institution with the power to announce the results of the electoral consultations that take place in the country, as it happens in any state of law, released the practically final figures of the presidential elections held on July 28. With 96.87% of the votes counted, despite the continuous and violent cyber war launched from abroad against the computer system on which the Venezuelan electoral structure is based, the incumbent president, Nicolás Maduro, won with 6,408,884 votes, corresponding to 51.8%; in second place was the fascist candidate Edmundo González Urrutia, proposed by the Democratic Unity Table (MUD), a movement led from Washington and chaired by the coup militant Maria Corina Machado, with 5,326,104 votes, or 43.18%.

A little more than a million votes saved Venezuela from falling directly into the hands of the internal and external sectors responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people victims of the criminal sanctions imposed by the Group of Seven (G7), which includes the European Union; not forgetting the organized theft of Venezuela’s main public assets, especially oil and tons of gold deposited in good faith in institutions of the so-called «civilized West» – an act of extortion in which Portugal also participates.

That same West, its politically and ethically corrupted powers and the transnational propaganda apparatus that gives them a voice under the pseudonym of “media” have ostensibly ignored the announced results.

With the prophetic gift that comes from an unquestionable authority to pronounce on what is or is not democratic in this world, the institutions that have hijacked power in the Western world had already decided the results of the Venezuelan elections many weeks before July 28. One of two things: either the fascist candidate won, a kind of replacement of the disappeared Guaidó by his little grandfather; or there was electoral fraud – which always happens when democratic popular consultations around the world provide numbers that do not coincide with those allowed by Washington or Brussels.

Maduro won at the polls; but the winner proclaimed by the decision-makers in Washington was his old acquaintance and deadly collaborator González Urrutia. As Anthony Blinken, the acting U.S. Secretary of State, sentenced, “given the overwhelming evidence, it is clear to the United States” – and its subjects, we might add – “and, more importantly, to the Venezuelan people, that Edmundo González Urrutia won the majority of votes in Venezuela’s July 28 presidential election.”

Magnanimously, the secretary of state who works overtime as a rock guitarist in Nazi bars in Kiev after copious dinners with the Banderite hosts of the Azov battalion (and their heteronyms) hoped for “negotiations” that would allow “a peaceful transition of power” in Caracas and threatened that “the international community” could “react accordingly” if this does not happen.

“International community”, in Blinken’s mouth, means that ultra-minority group of countries, comprising no more than 15% of the world’s population, that obey the “rules-based international order” decided in Washington, even at a time when the White House closes due to a temporary lack of tenants.

“Legitimacy”, according to the West

The sources of Anthony Blinken and his partners in NATO and the European Union could not be more reliable and objective.

For weeks, the Western judges of democracy fed on highly scientific polls produced by independent entities and, at the same time, owned by sectors committed to the candidate nominated by Maria Corina Machado. The data left no doubt: González Urrutia would have more than 70% of the votes and Maduro was condemned not to go beyond 30. This is what the exempt companies Meganálisis and Poder Y Estratégia guaranteed and repeated.

Several other polling institutes, more numerous even than the aforementioned sources of euphoria in the corporate media, predicted, it is true, that Maduro would win. Figures released, for example, by Hinterlaces, ICS, Datavia or Ideadatos were consistent, week after week, in predicting the victory of the incumbent president, but this information was certainly withheld from the major propaganda media such as CNN, the BBC, the New York TimesEl PaísLe Monde and the like.

Francisco Rodriguez, an economist and adviser to the main opposition candidate, warned that the polls guaranteeing Edmundo González’s landslide victory “could be oversized, even suggesting the deliberate manipulation of data.” No one listened to him – after all, he was alone against the world, where would he have gone to get such an inconvenient and absurd idea?

On election day, exit polls broadcast by the same companies at the service of the Democratic Unity Table (MUD) confirmed the previous predictions, always around 70-30 for Edmundo González, who could thus start the triumphal parade towards the presidential palace of Miraflores to wear the sash usurped by Maduro.

The parallel counting centre installed in Miami, certainly directly connected to the State Department and Blinken himself, was exposing the enormous dimension of the foreseeable “electoral fraud” since the data obtained confirmed the trend found at the exit polls: the overwhelming victory of Edmundo González. The “counting” apparatus in Miami was installed according to the instructions of Majalli Meda, Maria Corina Machado’s right-hand man in the preparation of conspiratorial actions and, in addition, head of “Strategic Planning” of the fascist organization Vente Venezuela.

All these procedures, many of them already known during more than twenty years of attacks against Venezuelan democracy, represented steps in the usual strategy of rejecting the official results with the aim of proclaiming a victory that did not exist at the ballot box – thus trying to open the door to a desired external intervention, preferably military. This is what this unavoidable figure of Western credibility, Argentine President Javier Milei, requested, soon followed by someone of equivalent prestige: Elon Musk.

One of the first pre-electoral attitudes of the fascist Edmundo González Urrutia was to refuse to sign a pact between all the candidates, committing himself to accept the results of the polls. Two of the ten contestants did not do so, one of them precisely Corina Machado’s alter-ego: this commitment is “an indication of the bias that characterizes this electoral campaign,” González explained. In other words, the elections before they were already elections: a fraud.

Correct numbers, it doesn’t matter

Thus was set up the virtual electoral reality that allows the U.S. Secretary of State to speak of the victory of the opposition, of a «political transition» and of the predictable action of the «international community» to enforce the supposed results, so invented that not even the information released by Corina Machado’s megaphones coincided with each other.

As soon as the 70-30 votes in favour of González Urrutia were announced, based on the supposed and miraculous access of the fascist opposition to the results of all the polling stations, that to date it has not even been possible for the National Electoral Council to ascertain, due to the cyber war waged from abroad; how the information was partial and casuistic in the middle of a hallucinating dance of numbers without any support.

For some official spokesmen, this triumph was certain even on the basis of only 30% of the electoral records. At 11 p.m. on July 28, when the news of Gonzalez Urrutia’s landslide victory by 70-30 was spreading around the world and launching a wave of hysterical euphoria among the Western political classes and their propaganda organs, the secretary general of the MUD itself, Omar Bertozo, made a prudent statement arguing that “with 30% of the votes counted, it is hasty to calculate results.” An opinion that his presidential candidate did not listen to or did not take into account because, in a press conference held at about the same time, he claimed that he already knew 40% of the results of the polling stations; while, sitting at the same table, her boss Corina Machado even said she knew the numbers of all the polling stations. Many hours later, during the morning of the 29th, the MUD’s legal advisor, Perkins Rocha, admitted that he was aware of “an important number of minutes”, although he did not have “exact data”. Nothing was arithmetically right, but there was one certainty: Edmundo González had won without a doubt.

In any case, numerical results were superfluous. The news of the “electoral fraud” and the “historic victory” of Edmundo González Urrutia was already making its way where it had to – in the “civilized Western world”. After a couple of desperate years of waiting, Venezuela had “elected” a new Guaidó.

“I don’t want a vote, but I want Nicolás to go!”

At the same time, the terrorist wing of the MUD fulfilled its role by trying to wreak havoc on the streets of the big cities.

The so-called “comanditos” and the gangs of hundreds of criminals who follow them in acts of vandalism presented as “popular protests” in the West behave in such a way as to give the impression that Venezuela is on a war footing, not hesitating to destroy public structures of basic necessity such as hundreds of electoral facilities, power plants, universities and schools, health centres, buses, Caracas Metro stations. Destabilizing and spreading fear are the objective, seeking to create a climate of ungovernability conducive to external intervention to allow the “new elected authorities” to take office.

The “comanditos” are assault groups organized by Corina Machado and the neo-Nazi group Vente Venezuela, which defined them as “a contingent fully prepared to defend the vote and even to face the challenges that may arise after July 28.” Terrorists are paid $150 a day; It will not be difficult to deduce that such generosity is guaranteed by the funds of Colombian drug trafficking, to which Venezuelan fascism has always been associated, as was found in the episodes involving the figure of Juan Guaidó.

 

The appearance of the commanders reflects an evolution and a sharpening of the strategy of violence in the streets, the authorities stress. President Nicolás Maduro believes that “what distinguishes these acts of violence from previous ones is the unprecedented and alarming speed with which armed organizations and criminal groups have taken control of the demonstrations. Until now,” he added, “‘civil society’ had a role in launching the actions, but now it is immediately replaced by violent groups that turn the streets into battlefields.”

The qualitative evolution of the terrorist organization may represent, according to Maduro, the existence of a coup d’état strategy, in fact typical of a figure like the fascist Corina Machado, currently barred from running for public office for her involvement in 2002 in the attempt that removed Commander Hugo Chávez from the presidency for 48 hours, until he was released and reappointed in office by a popular insurrection.

The “comanditos”, therefore, are the most up-to-date version of the “spontaneity of the popular demonstrations against electoral fraud”, so hailed in the West as an expression of the democratic vitality of the Venezuelan opposition.

The most heard slogan during the actions of terror in the streets, chanted at the instigation of thugs with helmets and batons, sometimes displaying firearms, is: “I don’t want a vote, I don’t want anything; what I want is for Nicolás to go».

This demonstrates a heartwarming respect for elections and the popular vote capable of moving the most circumspect and serious Western politician.

An advanced and reliable system

The succession of elections and popular consultations in Venezuela throughout the process of “Chavista” political transformation – and no people have gone to the polls so many times in the last quarter of a century – is the most scrutinized process on a global scale, bringing together many thousands of international observers, with the overwhelming majority of them – as has now happened – speaking out for transparency, the fairness and quality of the listening system of the popular will. They mainly praise the operation of the electronic voting system accompanied by a process of rebuttal through the juxtaposition of the traditional mechanism of ballot papers – that is, a double check.

Twelve years ago, former U.S. President James Carter had no hesitation in describing the Venezuelan electoral process as “the most improved in the world.” On July 28, dozens of citizens from all over the world, many of them Americans belonging to non-governmental organizations, found that the vote took place according to democratic parameters and according to a very advanced transparency protocol. Numerous observers on the ground, obviously silenced by the corporate media, declared themselves surprised by what they were able to witness, even leaving Caracas convinced that the Venezuelan electoral system is much more credible than that practiced in the United States of America.

The European Union observers were not present, which makes perfect sense because they have known for many months that they would witness ‘fraud’. Apparently, MEP Bugalho was unaware of the situation and ended up receiving a useful lesson when, in the absence of an invitation, he was advised to return to his origins, thus experiencing the dignity with which a sovereign people and political system behave, something extinct in Portugal.

The persistence of the Venezuelan people in maintaining the political system established during the governments of President Hugo Chávez is not the only reason for Western hysteria whenever there are elections in the country. G7, NATO, the European Union do nothing more than assume the pains of the U.S. regime in the face of the consistent challenge emanating from a quintain located in the universe where the Monroe doctrine prevails, a powerful colonial and imperial tongs.

The Venezuelan practice despairs the West, which is unable to remain within the limits of a minimum decency, because, in our times, it goes beyond the dominant orientations in countries and regimes that are not aligned with “liberal democracy” and not always docile in the face of neoliberal demands.

Venezuela is proud to remain a sovereign country, which is not recommended; Moreover, it does not obey the rules-based international order and continues to be governed by international law – which falls into the realms of the intolerable. In addition, making use of the independence it cultivates on the international stage, it develops multifaceted and equal relations with countries around the world, regardless of their political regimes, guided only by the national interest and the defence of its people, especially when it remains exposed to the crimes against humanity committed by the Western system of power. The sanctions and their consequences, according to reports compiled by Alfredo de Zayas, former UN rapporteur on human rights, are “crimes against humanity”. Tens of thousands of people, according to the same source, have already died due to hunger and lack of medicines caused by international punishments and the theft of national property.

What most exasperates, however, the Western centres of power is the socialist, anti-capitalist, and anti-imperialist orientation invoked by Venezuela’s political system, thus integrating itself into the challenge of multipolarity against disintegrating unipolarity. It is not something that is used or admissible in the 21st century, especially after the “burial” of socialism at the end of the 20th century and in an era in which neoliberalism and the manifestations of fascism inherent to it merged with liberal democracy.

The Western behaviour in relation to the decisions of the Venezuelan people is a flagrant example of the totalitarian temptation prevailing in international relations from a colonial and imperial domination that, despite the cult of violence and war, crumbles a little more every day.

Nazi-fascism is «our» friend

There are plenty of examples that, in an attempt to stop the hecatomb, the institutions of power in the collective West do not hesitate to resort to the original Nazi-fascism or to its more or less “updated” variants.

The alliance of the United States, NATO and the European Union with Kiev’s Nazi-Banderism is a reality of our days and, in truth, no one takes seriously the corporate propaganda platitudes that “there are no Nazis in Ukraine” or that Azov is just a “nationalist” group fighting for the independence of its homeland.

The Western powers are assuming, especially in practice, that the essential thing is to defeat and dismantle Russia, to break the central axis of multipolarity (let us observe the growing pressure on China and the increasingly serious provocations against Iran) and to preserve at all costs the conditions and means, especially for war, to perpetuate the «rules-based international order».

What is valid for Ukraine is valid for Venezuela. The West resorts to fascism to try to overthrow Chavismo and, for this, electoral periods are only part of the strategy.

In his memoirs, the fascist and former chairman of Trump’s National Security Council, John Bolton, confessed that he was behind the drone attack on the life of Nicolás Maduro in 2018, during a rally in Caracas.

Guaidó’s promotion to “interim president” resulted from Washington and Brussels’ constant flirtation with fascism to return Venezuela to the fold of submission where it should always have remained.

Let us now look at the figure and curriculum of the new “transitional president” in Venezuela – Blinken dixit – the candidate of the coup plotter Corina Machado, Edmundo González Urrutia, that good-natured grandpa who always has bags of sunflower seeds on hand to feed the parrots that visit him on the balcony of his house, in the morning and in the evening. “You can spend hours feeding them,” says her daughter Mariana during a candid CNN report on the new Venezuelan idol of the West.

During his life, Edmundo González was a “diplomat” with the ability and time to work overtime.

Monsignor Romero, known as “the voice of the voiceless”, had the audacity to deliver a dramatic homily on March 23, 1980: “In the name of God and of this suffering people, whose laments rise to heaven every day, I beg you, I beseech you, I command you: stop the repression”. The next day he was shot dead during the liturgical celebration by a sniper trained in the sinister School of the Americas. During the prelate’s funeral, more than two dozen people were murdered.
