Marco Rubio is currently trying to organise another coup in Venezuela.

The penalty for being a leftie and popular with the people is a US prison sentence as a 'narco trafficker'.

2 of 2 🧵 As a result, the US launched more violent coup attempts in 2014 and 2017 (Obama and Biden).

In 2015 Obama declared Venezuela to be an "extraordinary threat" to the US, to justify imposing illegal unilateral sanctions to crush the Venezuelan economy.

1 of 2 🧵 Hugo Chavez was democratically elected president of Venezuela in 1998.

He nationalised the oil industry and he kicked out the US fossil fuel corporations.

Chavez died in 2013, and his successor, Nicholas Maduro won the 2013 presidential election.

Yep, she's a nightmare. The horrifying face of the US regime-change machine. The Nobel is apparently a propaganda tool. It's a gift to trump of Venezuela's oil, if this monster can be given enough oxygen.

"If this is what counts as “peace” in 2025, then the prize itself has lost every ounce of credibility...
[Machado is] the smiling face of Washington’s regime-change machine, the polished spokesperson for sanctions, privatization, and foreign intervention dressed up as democracy."
– Michelle Ellner

'Peace' Has No Meaning When Right-Wingers Like Maria Corina Machado Win the Nobel Prize | Common Dreams

As Venezuelan-American, I know exactly what Machado represents: the smiling face of Washington’s regime-change machine, the polished spokesperson for sanctions, privatization, and foreign intervention...

The US debunking program when the global south (especially South America) isn't going to elect the "right person" is to call the election "illegal" or "illegitimate" and refuse to certify it, and the CIA usually tries to arrange a coup d'etat.

The lies are provable, but you have to research. Almost everything reported about Venezuela in the media comes from US propaganda. Same with Wikipedia. Just saying.

Norway gave trump what he wanted. They've gifted him Venezuela's oil by anointing the right-wing "democracy fighter" who is in fact a planned US puppet.

The US empire has tried coups (cf John Bolton, Noam Chomsky) in Venezuela for decades.

What a disappointment Albo has been over this genocide of the past two years and the blatant apartheid activities of the past 75 years in Gaza and the West Bank.

Is he blind? Does he think the rest of cannot see?

• South Africa takes Israel to the ICC over the #GazaGenocide.
• Spain takes Israel to the ICC over the #GlobalSumudFlotilla interception.
• Australia? Still providing Israel with F-35 components and a PM silent on both the genocide and the detention of Australians from the Flotilla. 😔 #auspol

Sadly, I think:
• Albo only cares about Albo.
• Albo doesn't care about Palestine.
• Albo wrongly assumes most Australians don't care about Gaza. #GazaGenocide #auspol

The United Nations must be moved from the US and a properly attended UN General Assembly be held to vote for intervention in Palestine to circumvent the compromised Security Council.

IMMEDIATELY. #auspol #UN #genocide #democracy
