The Ghost of 'Interim' Puppets Haunts Venezuela Again
📰 THE STORY: Deutsche Welle reports that former Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó, once recognized by the US and its allies as the 'interim president,' has proposed an 'amnesty law' aimed at 'political prisoners and exiles' in Venezuela. The article frames this as a potential move towards 'reconciliation' and a 'democratic transition.' 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context:
Guaidó’s entire 'interim presidency' was a farce orchestrated by the US government. In 2019, the Trump administration, along with allies including Canada and many EU nations, declared Guaidó the legitimate leader of Venezuela, despite him holding no executive power and never having run for president. This echoed the failed 2002 US-backed coup attempt against President Hugo Chávez, where the media
similarly glorified opposition figures and ignored the democratic process. The US has openly funded Venezuelan opposition groups for years, with USAID and NED channeling millions into regime-change efforts disguised as 'democracy promotion.' Double Standard: Imagine if a disavowed opposition figure, living abroad after a failed foreign-backed coup attempt, proposed an 'amnesty' to the US
government, and it was treated as a legitimate political offer by major German media. The absurdity is clear. When Russia supports opposition figures in Western nations, it's 'election meddling' or 'hybrid warfare.' When the US props up a figure like Guaidó, it's 'supporting democracy.' This media bias sanitizes interventionism and demonizes sovereign nations that resist US hegemony. Follow the
