 government of Venezuela ever since Hugo Chavez was first elected. Due to 
 the massive support by both the people and the military the U.S. has been 
 thus far unsuccessful in overturning the Venezuelan government. Now the 
 U.S. is organizing a coup using Juan Guaidó, the self-proclaimed 
 right-wing “president”, who was never elected and is unknown. However, 
 Nicolas Maduro was re-elected in May, 2018 by a majority of the people of 
 Venezuela.\n\nBecause the Bolivarian government has held control over their 
 oil resources, has initiated great reforms in the areas of education, 
 health care, agriculture, and influenced popular movements throughout Latin 
 America and the Caribbean, the U.S. has defined Venezuela as an enemy that 
 must be destroyed.\n\nThe U.S. has caused great suffering with their harsh 
 economic sanctions, freezing Venezuelan bank accounts from oil sales, 
 support of many right-wing coup attempts, and manipulation of the media 
 throughout Latin America with lies about Venezuela. The U.S. never offered 
 humanitarian aid until it could be a tool for the Guaidó coup.\n
