Comprehensive Update on Venezuela: Maduro Regime Issues Arrest Warrant Against the Opposition Leaders

In light of the events unfolding in Venezuela, there is a strong campaign on X (formerly Twitter) supporting Venezuelans and constantly denouncing fraud in the elections. Let’s review today’s events:

Santiago Abascal, leader of the VOX party in Spain, recently posted on Twitter the wanted poster issued by the U.S. government offering a reward of 15 million dollars for information leading to the arrest of Nicolás Maduro. The U.S. government accuses Maduro of drug trafficking, corruption, and undermining democracy in Venezuela. According to available information, these accusations are part of a broader set of charges related to drug trafficking and arms use, involving high-ranking officials of the Venezuelan regime, including military personnel and judges.

The president of the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela in exile declared this morning that the OAS technical report evidences Maduro’s self-coup to cling to power.

The report details how Maduro’s regime has systematically manipulated the country’s democratic institutions to maintain control, including the use of the National Electoral Council (CNE) and the Supreme Court of Justice to invalidate unfavorable electoral results and suppress the opposition.

The conclusion is clear: “results without formal public records should not receive democratic recognition” said the president of the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela in exile today.

Since the highly criticized 2018 presidential election, which was marred by irregularities and a lack of transparency, Maduro has consolidated his power through authoritarian tactics such as repressing demonstrations, imprisoning opponents, and controlling the judicial and electoral apparatus.

The militarization of the government and the loyalty of the armed forces have been crucial for his stay in power, despite the deep economic crisis and international sanctions.

The president of the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela in exile declared this morning: “The technical report from @OAS_official evidences Maduro’s self-coup to cling to power. The conclusion is clear: results without formal public records should not receive democratic recognition.”

Unburdened: Kamala Harris Suddenly Rejects All Of Her Radical Positions

In 2019, Kamala Harris was rated the ‘most liberal’ Senator in a now-scrubbed rating from GovTrack. She’s on record wanting to abolish ICE (which she compared to the KKK), letting criminals like the Boston Marathon bomber and rapists vote, banning fracking and offshore drilling, defunding the police, providing US taxpayer subsidized healthcare to illegals, and banning private health insurance.

According to the NY Times, “video clips of her old statements and interviews are being weaponized as Republicans aim to define her as a left-wing radical who is out of step with swing voters.”

“The archive is deep,” said Brad Todd, a Republican strategist and ad maker who is working with David McCormick, the G.O.P. Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, among other campaigns. “We will run out of time before we run out of video clips of Kamala Harris saying wacky California liberal things. I’m just not sure that the rest of this campaign includes much besides that.”

To that end, McCormick’s campaign has produced one of the first TV ads to attack Harris on her longstanding positions.

Yet, according to the Times, nevermind all that– Harris is now a reformed moderate – and has suddenly reversed course on virtually all of her most radical views.

On Friday, the Harris campaign announced that she no longer wants to ban fracking – a ‘significant shift’ from where she stood four years ago. She’s also reversed course on funding for border enforcement, no longer supports a single-payer health insurance program, and has walked back liberal fever dreams of a mandatory gun buyback.

She is no longer pushing for a single-payer health care system, and on Friday her campaign said she would maintain Mr. Biden’s pledge not to raise income taxes on people making less than $400,000 per year. -NYT

Packing the Court? Nah…

On Monday, as Mr. Biden prepared a speech in Texas calling for term limits and ethics guidelines for Supreme Court justices, the Trump campaign resurfaced statements Ms. Harris made in 2019 saying she was “open to this conversation” about expanding the Supreme Court. Ms. Harris, in a statement released by her campaign, endorsed Mr. Biden’s proposal, which does not call for adding additional justices to the court.

According to Matt Bennett, a co-founder of Third Way, a moderate Democratic think tank, Harris has ‘evolved’ into a Biden style centrist (if centrism is defined as letting 20+ million illegals into the country and cooking Americans with inflation).

“There’s a tremendous difference in changing one’s policy ideas and changing one’s principles,” said Bennett. “She has not changed her principles. She still thinks climate change is an existential threat — she just doesn’t think the Green New Deal is the way to address it.”

Sure Matt.

The Times also hints that Harris is essentially an idiot who didn’t really understand her own positions while running for president in 2020.

Venezuela Election Protests Spread As Maduro Claims US-Backed ‘Color Revolution’ Driving Mayhem

“We’ve seen this movie before,” said Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro from the presidential palace following a night of massive protests and unrest which has seen clashes with police. The protests look to spread Tuesday, as new large rallies are being planned.

“We have been following all of the acts of violence promoted by the extreme right,” he added in the fresh remarks cited by Reuters. Overnight, several United Socialist Party of Venezuela offices and headquarters were burned by oppositionists who charge that the election was stolen. 

Maduro also commented, “I’m getting a video here of the burning of PSUV’s headquarters in Calabozo… this is very typical of what they call ‘Color Revolutions’, designed by the Americans. It’s a script.”

Protests have reportedly come near the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas, with crowds – many of which marched by foot from rural districts – clashing with police, even using petrol bombs against security forces. And as we detailed previously, a number of statues depicting former President Hugo Chavez, Maduro’s mentor and leader of the country from 1999-2013, were torn down.

There are scenes of possible gunfire in the Venezuelan capital. Unverified social media videos appear to show that some of the anti-Maduro protesters are armed.

Here’s MORE Evidence of ELECTION INTERFERENCE from Google

As Twitchy reported earlier, a search for “assassination attempt on Tr …” led Google to helpfully autocomplete the request with … Truman? “Assassination attempt on Truman” is the first search result? There are seven suggested searches there, and not one of them mentions Donald Trump.

Google explained that its systems automatically “have protections against Autocomplete predictions associated with political violence” — no one person interfered with the results. That was debunked pretty quickly by showing searches for plenty of other searches associated with political violence, such as the Kenosha riots.

Now we have more evidence of election interferences from Google. We tried this ourselves and got the same results, so this is not a “cheap fake.”

Seriously — type “Donald Trump” into Google’s search bar and you get results for “News about Harris • Donald Trump” and search results like “Kamala Harris allies deploy new Trump attack line: he is ‘just plain weird'” and “Andrew Cuomo: Here’s How Harris Can Beat Trump and His Stream of Lies.”

Type in “Kamala Harris” and you get results about … “Kamala Harris.”

Opposition Leaders Offer Proof That Venezuelan Elections Were Stolen By Communist Tyrant Maduro – Then Regime Blocks Website

Venezuelan opposition candidate Edmundo González joined by Maria Corina Machado earlier today spoke at a press conference and stated that they have the proof they needed to show that Edmundo was the winner of the country’s highly anticipated presidential election.

Maria Corina Machado claimed that Nicolás Maduro received 2.7 million votes and Edmundo González more than 6 million votes.

As they spoke, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of many cities in Venezuela to protest and denounce that the regime had stolen once again the election in which both candidates claimed victory.

Later in the day, the regime blocked the link to the opposition party’s website where they offered their proof of the stolen election.

Palace coup in a late-stage empire

As the global hegemon and leader of the free world, it is crucial to know who is actually running the United States government. The Constitution clearly outlines the distribution of power. But conservative voters who watched the press and deep state work together to sink Donald Trump’s presidency have slowly realized that all is not as it seems.

On Sunday afternoon, the regime that propped up Joe Biden for four years unceremoniously discarded him with a simple social media post, placing him on the curb like a bag of garbage. While he still retains the formal title of president — for now — it’s clear that the ruling class has replaced the geriatric party man with a new puppet.

In failing regimes, the line of succession always becomes a question of great intrigue. When factions inside the ruling class are squabbling for control, it is best to make sure that your choice for the office has a clear path to power before making any moves. Any gap in continuity can lead to serious questions about legitimacy, so it is best to present the ascension of the next leader as a fait accompli. In the late Roman Empire, if a faction planned on assassinating the current ruler, it was critical to have a replacement presented immediately to the Praetorian Guard for approval and installed on the throne before anyone had time to ask questions or rally their own supporters.

Joe Biden has been mentally unfit from the beginning of his presidency. The press was already joking about the former vice president’s mental capacity in 2020, and it was very clear as Biden campaigned from his basement during the pandemic that his sole duty was to be as inoffensive as possible until Trump was defeated. The senator from Delaware had an unimpressive list of accomplishments and a few failed presidential runs to his name. Biden got to his position by being a party man, and his job in office was to act as a puppet for those who would truly run the White House.

Kamala Harris, whose major accomplishments are being black and female, exists in a similar vein. Biden originally described himself as a transitional president, presumably grooming the DEI-approved vice president as his successor. The old white man of the Democratic Party’s past handing the torch to a young diverse woman who was ready to lead the progressive movement into a new era — what a story!

Kamala, Heir to the Neoliberal Throne, Promotes Depopulation for Climate Change™

As far as I am concerned, there are two options here, each of which is equally plausible:

  • The Karamel-uh entity overheard the true impetus of the Climate Change™ hoax at some point and didn’t realize or forgot that she’s not supposed to say the quiet part out loud
  • The social engineers are simply getting more brazen in their declaration of intentions, and so these comments were intentionally inserted into the Karamel-uh entity’s speech — later to dismiss it as a “gaffe” — to move the Overton window in the direction of global genocide

Either way, these words escaping the lips of a possible future president (and maybe sooner that we realize if the MIA Brandon entity never resurfaces and is declared dead from COVID or domestic terrorism or whatever) should be front page news everywhere.

What explanation I don’t buy is the framing by the White House, relayed via the New York Post uncritically, that this was a “gaffe.”

Via New York Post (emphasis added)

“Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday called on the US to ‘reduce population’ in an effort to combat climate change, but she meant to say ‘reduce pollution,’ according to the White House.

The shocking gaffe happened as the 58-year-old vice president delivered remarks at Coppin State University in Baltimore, Md., on the need to build a ‘clean energy economy.’

‘When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water,’ Harris said, eliciting applause from the audience.

The official White House transcript of her speech acknowledges and corrects Harris’ disquieting error.*

In the transcript, ‘population’ is crossed out and ‘pollution’ is added in brackets to denote what the VP intended to say.”

*This is gaslighting nonsense; shame on the New York Post for printing it. Transcripts are supposed to reflect what was actually said, not edited later on to say whatever the governing authorities would like them to say.

Biden And The Mirage Of American Democracy

Americans should tolerate no president invoking “the will of the people” to sanctify his crimes.

Since late 2020, President Joe Biden has invoked “the will of the people” dozens of times to sanctify his power, including arbitrary decrees that were illegal or unconstitutional. Biden’s invocations did not prevent his re-election campaign from being terminated behind closed doors on Sunday by Democratic Party donors and leaders. Though Biden is being shoved off stage, the “will of the people” will continue to be invoked to raze limits on presidential power and trample the Bill of Rights.

Biden’s rhetorical machinations ignore the lessons from ideological clashes in the 1700s between Americans and British over the doctrine of representation. Biden, like most modern American presidents, reflects a radical redefinition of democracy stemming from Jean-Jacques Rousseau—a change that helped turn the French Revolution into a bloodbath.

Conflicts between the American colonists and British rulers reached a fever pitch in the 1760s. The Sugar Act of 1764 resulted in British officials confiscating hundreds of American ships, based on mere allegations that the shipowners or captains were involved in smuggling; Americans were obliged, in order to retain their ships, to somehow prove that they had never been involved in smuggling—a near-impossible burden. The Stamp Act of 1765 obliged Americans to purchase British stamps to be used on all legal papers, newspapers, cards, dice, advertisements, and even on academic degrees. After violent protests throughout the colonies, the Parliament rescinded the Stamp Act but passed the Declaratory Act, which announced that Parliament “had, hath, and of right ought to have, full power and authority to make laws and statutes of sufficient force and validity to bind the colonies and people of America, subjects of the crown of Great Britain, in all cases whatsoever.” The Declaratory Act meant that Parliament could never do an injustice to the Americans, since Parliament had the right to use and abuse the colonists as it chose.

Many American colonists believed that, for them, British representative government was a fraud. The “Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms,” issued by the Second Continental Congress on July 6, 1775, a few weeks after the Battle of Bunker Hill, highlighted the crimes of the British Parliament. (The Declaration of Independence, issued almost a year later, concentrated on King George III as the personification of British abuses.) The Declaration, written by John Dickinson and Thomas Jefferson, complained that “the legislature of Great Britain, stimulated by an inordinate passion for power…attempted to effect their cruel and impolitic purpose of enslaving these colonies by violence.” The Continental Congress demanded to know, “What is to defend us against so enormous, so unlimited a power? Not a single man of those who assume it, is chosen by us; or is subject to our control or influence.”

Kamala’s Fabricated Gen Z Appeal

“kamala IS brat,” tweeted singer Charli XCX on Sunday, following Vice President Kamala Harris’ ascension to the presidential nominee slot left vacant by President Joe Biden. Despite Charli XCX’s own advanced age of 31, she was speaking in slang immediately obvious to anyone under 30, especially the girls and the gays: brat is the album of the summer, with a distinctive neon green cover, full of references to Dimes Square podcaster-provocateurs, Julia Fox, party-girling hard, and—somehow, simultaneously—the lady anxiety that sets in when you’re on the wrong side of your twenties and have not yet had a child.

Harris’ team eagerly turned what they believed to be a pop star endorsement into a branding strategy; the X account “Kamala HQ” (1.1 million followers) adopted the distinctive color, font, and lowercase style Charli XCX’s brat to craft their own banner image, reading “kamala hq.“ Meanwhile, the gay guys of New York City, who received the news of Biden pulling out whilst in their natural habit (Fire Island), quickly made crop tops in the exact same style of brat. A mashup cut of one of Harris’ cringiest lines—some anecdote about coconut trees—was set to Charli XCX’s song “Von dutch.” It has received over 4 million views.

“The internet is going crazy for Harris’ campaign,” declares The 19th, a gender and politics website. Harris’ “meme stock is bullish,” adds CNN, which devoted a panel to the topic, in which a suit-wearing boomer tried, inartfully, to explain the craze to the rest. “Is Kamala Harris ‘brat’?” asks The Economist, calling 2024 “America’s TikTok election.” “Younger celebs are aiming to help Harris by tying her to their viral and loyal social media brands,” explains the Associated Press rather clinically.

“A brat should exude the je ne sais quoi of the famous-but-not-A-list women,” writes Shirley Li, giving the phenomenon an overly intellectualized treatment typical of The Atlantic. “The brat is a classic feminine archetype, right up there with the jezebel, the crone, the bimbo, the career girl,” writes Kat Rosenfield for The Free Press. “Brats are Cinderella’s stepsisters, lacking both social graces and appropriate gratitude for the privileges they enjoy.”

But what the hungry internet, full of writers looking for takes, and the Harris campaign miss is that being “brat” is not really a compliment.

Identity Politics Backfire: Woman Supporting Kamala Harris ‘Because She is a Black Woman’ Gets Schooled with a Brutal Reality Check

In a heated discussion on the latest episode of his podcast, content creator Anton Daniels confronted the troubling implications of identity politics when a guest openly admitted she would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris solely because she is a black woman.

During the episode, Paige of the Pressher Podcast said she’s voting for Kamala, saying, “I’m going to just be real honest with this. She’s a black woman.”

You could see the disappointment in the room when Paige said that she’s only voting Kamala because of identity politics.

The admission elicited an immediate reaction from Daniels, who challenged her reasoning. “Is it only because she’s a black woman?” he pressed.

Paige’s straightforward answer set the stage for a passionate rebuttal from Daniels, who laid out a litany of criticisms against Harris’s record. He pointed out the current state of the economy, ongoing border crises, and the failed policies that have plagued major cities across America because of Democrats.
