About this Webinar What began as a customary US act of aggression—increasing the bounty on President Maduro’s head to $50 million—quickly revealed its true purpose: a military aggression aimed at violently overthrowing the Bolivarian government of Venezuela.This was compounded by the Venezuelan far-right’s smuggling of alarming quantities of explosives, detonators, ammunition, grenades, machine guns, and assorted war materiel into at least five key Venezuelan cities. The clear intention was to unleash a wave of armed violence to cause maximum disruption. The threatening deployment of the US war fleet—comprising around eight warships, F-35 fighter jets, and even a nuclear submarine—was ostensibly to halt drug smuggling, allegedly from Venezuela. In reality, it was to intervene and assist the Venezuelan far-right’s wave of violence.Since its deployment, the US fleet has destroyed four small boats, blatantly perpetrating crimes against humanity that have thus far killed 21 people. The latest and most grave escalation of the US military threat was Trump’s executive order, which declared the US to be in a formal state of “armed conflict” with Latin American drug cartels. This provides a pretext for US military forces to launch attacks on Venezuelan territory. All of this is based on a monumental fabrication: the false charge that the Venezuelan government has shipped hundreds of tons of cocaine into the US, in operations led by the non-existent ‘Cartel de los Soles’.Following the absurd decision of the Nobel committee to award the Peace Prize to coupmonger María Corina Machado, who has openly called for a military assault on Venezuela, this webinar will examine the growing threat of US militarization in Latin America and how Venezuelans are responding to the threat of invasion.
