    This is the first reporting I've seen on any new developments here.

    https://sputniknews.com/us/201904301...zuela-embassy/
    US law enforcement officials blocked off the entrance of the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington on Tuesday amid ongoing protests over the handling of the crisis in the Latin American country, a Sputnik correspondent reported from the embassy.

    About 30 policemen with handcuffs arrived at the Venezuelan Embassy, which has been occupied by activists for more than two weeks, blocking the entrance from 30th Street.

    BREAKING | Some coup plotters have hidden in the Brazilian embassy in Caracas following the defeat of the coup.

    latest updating...
    UPDATE: 4:30 pm
    (local time)

    teleSUR correspondent in Brazil has received confirmation from the foreign ministry of Brazil that 25 soldiers that have asked protection in the Brazilian embassy in Caracas.

    UPDATE: 4:04 pm

    Russia's Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova announced that "if Washington does not stop interfering in the affairs of Venezuela, it will lead to the collapse of the situation."

    She commented also that some Washington politicians cannot appreciate how destructive that path can be "which is strange because everyone else already sees it".

    Zakharova made these statements after U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton requested a "regime change" in Venezuela.

    UPDATE: 3:48 pm

    During a press conference from New York, the Venezuelan ambassador to the United Nations Samuel Moncada said that Tuesday’s “coup attempt seeks to promote a puppet government, but failed because most of our people want to live in peace and with the right to self-determination."

    The Venezuelan official also called on the international community to reject the far-right violent attempt, for it “violates every U.N Charter and undermines peace."

    The diplomat pointed out that the U.S. government has openly admitted that it has participated in today's new conspiracy act and commented that “it's a psychopathic, warlike elite that is using all media with a bombard of fake news."

    Regarding Venezuela opposition politician Leopoldo Lopez asylum request at the Chilean embassy, Moncada said that “those gentlemen have been defeated, but that defeat will have consequences in many parts of that fictitious government."

    OK, the tweet didn't show that. But adding silencer seems to say it is what, more dangerous? AR-57 will still be making a lot of noise.

    Cuba FM: "Bolton is a pathological liar who misinforms President Trump. There are no Cuban troops in Venezuela, nor are there any participating in military or security operations. There is only medical personnel on humanitarian missions. We emphatically reject Trump's threats."




    That's the script: Cuba + Russia..... and it will be POUNDED into yer branes in the coming weeks.

    Harder to detect the direction that the shot came from, and thus the shooters location. Safer for the Che Donnell revolutionaries, aka Democratic Rebel Freedom Fighters, Venezuela Constitution experts.

    A few thoughts:

    1. If Guaido doesn't have the support of the army, and it looks like he doesn't at the moment, this will surely fail.

    2. Monstrous as Maduro is, it's not clear that the opposition would be better; democratic socialism is no better than dictatorial socialism.

    3. As an ethical matter, which side the people support is irrelevant; whichever side will govern most liberally should win, popular or otherwise.

    4. If a foreign state were to intervene, so as to improve the outcome, that would be good (see above), though that isn't likely to happen.

    Like I said, Chavez was too kind to the 2003 coup instigators.
    Maduro has been handed war.
    Now the bus driver has to be the warrior Chavez appeared to be.

    This makes me sick.
    Brazenly backing a military coup, without the slightest sniff of irony.
    Gonna be an interesting 2020.

    I hate the darkness ahead.
    But we always come out a greater and smarter race in the end.

    I don't care about the useful idiots in between the large tire treads.
    Yellow Jackets been going for months, media silence.
    Yes, I know my enemies.

    We must appreciate that the only sustainable freedom is freedom won by those who yearn to live it. Direct US military involvement risks allowing Maduro to externalize conflict, scapegoat his failures, and delegitimize the organic desire of Venezuelans to choose their own future.

    Oh its the old two side of same coin mind trick.

    Narrative Guiding question: Does Saddam have WMD's or no?
    real question: if he did, would he use them at risk of nuclear annihilation?

    Narrative Question: Should we bomb Saddam now, or wait for mushroom cloud?
    real question: She we be bombing at all?

    Narrative question: should we supply direct support to Guiado, or just indirect support?
    real question: Should we be supporting a coup at all?

    Gen. Christopher Figuera, the chief of Venezuela's National Bolivarian Intelligence Service (SEBIN), has reportedly backed the attempted uprising against President Nicolas Maduro alongside two other senior generals, Argus Media reported April 30. In the meantime, security forces loyal to opposition leader Juan Guaido have seized multiple garrisons across the country.

    New information suggests that the uprising against the Maduro government was more extensive than initial reports indicated. The backing of Figuera and other generals also seems to indicate that Venezuela's opposition has managed to create substantial cracks in the country's security forces. Figuera has also ordered his forces to support Guaido, which raises the likelihood of violent confrontations as long as the uprising endures.

    Pivotal Moment at the Carlota military Airbase yesterday....


    https://twitter.com/PiensaPrensa/sta...80115331469313



    hooded opposition supporters began throwing rocks against the government armed forces guarding the base
    (who were pushing back using tear gas)
    (Very clear that this was not a military uprising.)
    then this amazing video showing that the Venezuelan troops (who could have shot people trying to rip down the base's security fence)
    They actually broke through a section of fence and you can see (above) what happened.

    Try that at a western base.
