Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has ordered the country's border with Brazil closed. It comes ahead of a weekend showdown over humanitarian aid, as a caravan led by the opposition makes its way toward the border with Colombia.



Some people who got injured after Venezuelan soldiers opened fire were taken to Brazil for treatment.
Venezuelans are increasingly finding ways to cross over looking for help and hoping for relief. At a shelter run by the army and supported by the United Nations, some Venezuelans are relieved but others are terrified.



After two free concerts near the Venezuela-Colombia border, one by supporters of Juan Guaido in Cucuta and another by Nicolas Maduro's administration in Tachira, tension between their supporters rise.



In Venezuela, self-proclaimed Interim President Juan Guaido has called on supporters to help trucks loaded with Humanitarian aid cross the border from Colombia. Incumbent President Nicolas Maduro has ordered soldiers to stop the deliveries.



The political standoff in Venezuela is escalating. A deadline to let US aid into the country, imposed by self-proclaimed interim leader Juan Guaido, expires on Saturday. Deliveries have been amassing at the border with Colombia, but the trucks are being blocked by Venezuela's elected president, Nicolas Maduro, who fears they may contain hidden weapons.



The Venezuelan government has closed the main border crossings with Colombia, at the start of a day of tense expectation. The Venezuelan opposition and its international allies have said they will try to force so-called humanitarian aid across the border in the coming hours.

The people of Venezuela deserve to suffer. Imagine supporting a US backed coup and expecting things to be 'ok'. Government should lock up people for treason.

Steupz...

So Growley made a deal with a dictator which we knew before and when chit hit the fan, yuh vex? If Growley did stay in his own lane, today he would not have to pretend to be neutral and want Maduro to stay hoping for this gas deal to happen. The deal is a good idea and opportunity, but the macro-environmental factors right now is risky - dangerous.

And you want Venezuelan people to suffer because they want a dictator removed? Yuh need help.

hear dis eh, i support what russia doin, i against what america doing, i agree with the stance of the pnm that u deal with who answering the fone... and i saying that pursuing the dragon gas deal is not a wise decision. not because it is a bad economic decision on its own,,,, the opposite, its cheap oil/gas. but because that deal will put us in the bad books of 'muricah, and if they decide to step up actions, via sanctions, we would not survive.

choose ur battles wisely. the economic ties, is not advisable at this point in time. that is poking the bear unnecessarily

Venezuela's National Guard fired tear gas on opposition activists at a barricaded border bridge to Colombia on Saturday, and two protesters were killed near the border in Brazil, as the opposition tried to execute a high-risk plan to deliver humanitarian aid over the obstinate refusal of President Nicolas Maduro.



The US-backed opposition’s call for a “human avalanche” to force American aid into Venezuela has erupted in violent clashes. Tensions were running high and the opposition soon claimed that government forces have killed civilians.



Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro severed diplomatic relations with Colombia as violence broke out along the two countries' borders, where international aid intended for Venezuela is awaiting transport.



Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says that the United States "will take action" in support of anti-government protesters amid clashes between them and Venezuelan police.

Step 1 of being a successful fascist: pay and fatten up your military officers so good that they will never revolt even when looking into the tears of suffering of their own people. You could see it in the eyes of those men on the border just following their orders, doing their duty. Shame on all those senior officers under Maduro for not doing what they know is right for their own people.

Things getting ripe for a bloody revolution.

Those officers are the courageous ones protecting their democracy in the face of foreign intervention. History will tell a different story, I'm just glad some people have the testicular fortitude to stand up to the Americans

Large parts of crisis-hit Venezuela, including the capital Caracas, have been affected by an extensive electricity blackout.



Venezuela's self-proclaimed Juan Guaido said Friday during a rally for International Women's Day that while the government said everything was "normal," what is going on in the country is not as he says many are facing an hours-long power blackout.



Venezuela is experiencing widespread power cuts for the second day in a row and people have been sharing their stories.



Venezuela continues to endure a massive power outage.

CÚCUTA, Colombia — The narrative seemed to fit Venezuela’s authoritarian rule: Security forces, on the order of President Nicolás Maduro, had torched a convoy of humanitarian aid as millions in his country were suffering from illness and hunger.

Vice President Mike Pence wrote that “the tyrant in Caracas danced” as his henchmen “burned food & medicine.” The State Department released a video saying Mr. Maduro had ordered the trucks burned. And Venezuela’s opposition held up the images of the burning aid, reproduced on dozens of news sites and television screens throughout Latin America, as evidence of Mr. Maduro’s cruelty.

But there is a problem: The opposition itself, not Mr. Maduro’s men, appears to have set the cargo alight accidentally.

Unpublished footage obtained by The New York Times and previously released tapes — including footage released by the Colombian government, which has blamed Mr. Maduro for the fire — allowed for a reconstruction of the incident. It suggests that a Molotov cocktail thrown by an antigovernment protester was the most likely trigger for the blaze.

rt wrote:Marco Rubio blames Venezuelan power outages on explosion at imaginary ‘German Dam’
Sen. Marco Rubio was besieged by social media mockery after declaring that power outages in Caracas were caused by an explosion at a ‘German Dam’ – the name of journalist who reported on the blackouts.

The Florida lawmaker and devout Juan Guaido supporter took to his Twitter podium on Saturday to once again proselytize about the evils of Nicolas Maduro’s government. Commenting on the recent waves of blackouts in Venezuela, which Caracas has blamed on US-backed sabotage, Rubio shared some insightful Senate intelligence.

“Today another transformer explosion at the German Dam in Bolivar State caused another massive blackout. The result? Critically ill patients have died, the #Caracas metro remains out of service & few if any flights have arrived at or departed from Caracas in over 20 hours,” he tweeted.


There’s only one problem with Rubio’s otherwise watertight dam theory: There is no “German Dam” in Bolivar State or any other part of Venezuela. It seems that the senator confused the name of a journalist covering the power outages, German Dam, with an imaginary (but combustible) inanimate object.

Responding to Rubio’s tweet, Mr Dam informed the senator that he was a human and not a barrier constructed to hold back water that mysteriously blew up.

CÚCUTA, Colombia — The narrative seemed to fit Venezuela’s authoritarian rule: Security forces, on the order of President Nicolás Maduro, had torched a convoy of humanitarian aid as millions in his country were suffering from illness and hunger.

Vice President Mike Pence wrote that “the tyrant in Caracas danced” as his henchmen “burned food & medicine.” The State Department released a video saying Mr. Maduro had ordered the trucks burned. And Venezuela’s opposition held up the images of the burning aid, reproduced on dozens of news sites and television screens throughout Latin America, as evidence of Mr. Maduro’s cruelty.

But there is a problem: The opposition itself, not Mr. Maduro’s men, appears to have set the cargo alight accidentally.

Unpublished footage obtained by The New York Times and previously released tapes — including footage released by the Colombian government, which has blamed Mr. Maduro for the fire — allowed for a reconstruction of the incident. It suggests that a Molotov cocktail thrown by an antigovernment protester was the most likely trigger for the blaze.

At one point, a homemade bomb made from a bottle is hurled toward the police, who were blocking a bridge connecting Colombia and Venezuela to prevent the aid trucks from getting through.

But the rag used to light the Molotov cocktail separates from the bottle, flying toward the aid truck instead.

The same protester can be seen 20 minutes earlier, in a different video, hitting another truck with a Molotov cocktail, without setting it on fire.

The burning of the aid last month has led to broad condemnation of the Venezuelan government.

More than three million people have fled the country because of the humanitarian crisis caused by Mr. Maduro’s mismanagement of the economy. Political opponents who have remained in the country face repression by his security forces, with many jailed, tortured or forced into exile. Many demonstrators have been killed and even more injured during street protests.

Many of Mr. Maduro’s critics claim that he ordered medication set on fire during the border standoff — even though many of his people have died of medicine shortages in hospitals.

Yet the claim about a shipment of medicine, too, appears to be unsubstantiated, according to videos and interviews.

The United States Agency for International Development, the principal supplier of the aid at the bridge, did not list medicine among its donations. A top opposition official on the bridge that day told The Times that the burned shipment contained medical supplies like face masks and gloves, but not medicine. And video clips reviewed by The Times show some of the boxes contained hygiene kits, which the Americans identified as containing supplies like soap and toothpaste.

Yet the claim that Mr. Maduro burned medicine has persisted.

“Maduro has lied about the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, he contracts criminals to burn food and medicine intended for the Venezuelan people,” wrote John R. Bolton, President Trump’s national security adviser, in a message posted on Twitter on March 2.

After being contacted by The Times about these claims, American officials released a statement describing how the fire began more cautiously.

“Eyewitness accounts indicate that the fire started when Maduro’s forces violently blocked the entry of humanitarian assistance,” the statement said. It did not specify that Mr. Maduro’s forces lit the fire.

American officials also noted that, whatever the circumstances, they held Mr. Maduro responsible because he blocked the aid trucks that day, punishing Venezuelans in need.

“Maduro is responsible for creating the conditions for violence,” said Garrett Marquis, a spokesman for the National Security Council. “His thugs denied the entry of tons of food and medicine, while thousands of courageous volunteers sought to safeguard and deliver aid to Venezuelan families.”

Seems accidental though. While pelting the army, one of the flambo separated, and the rag flew off on a truck.


And apparantly, aid IS accepted into the country, but from other countries But America.

A new diplomatic rift is opening up in Venezuela -the government is expelling the German ambassador, accusing him of interfering in the country's internal affairs.



The crisis in Venezuela is getting more desperate by the hour as a nationwide power failure stretched into a fifth day.



U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pulled all remaining American diplomats from Venezuela due to what he called a "deteriorating situation."



As Venezuela enters its fifth day of no power, Maduro continues to blame the US Government for the power outage. Asymmetrica President Vanessa Neumann with the latest on the unrest in Venezuela.



The United States has announced it will withdraw its remaining diplomats from Venezuela. The move comes as the opposition-dominated National Assembly described widespread power outages as a national emergency. Schools have been suspended and businesses shut for a second day. The outages have led to water and fuel shortages and have also caused the deaths of dozens of patients who were unable to receive treatment at various hospitals.



Amid US State Secretary Mike Pompeo’s rebuke of the “deteriorating situation” in Venezuela and the days-long crippling blackout affecting more than 80 percent of the country, the US has recalled all diplomatic personnel from Venezuela.

Duh we back the "wrong" side ... remember they (USA) have shale gas now, so we not that important to them as a gas source again.

in WW11 Trinidad was used for geographic location and to protect source of oil, now fighter planes and military ship can circumnavigate the world with no "need for refueling" at a land port.
