Washington’s 26 Year War against Chavista Venezuela

By Walt Zlotow

For AIMN readers who could be interested in this discussion.

West Suburban Peace Coalition’s Educational Forum to discuss America’s regime change project for Venezuela October 21 on Zoom

Topic: Washington’s 26 Year War against Chavista Venezuela

When: Tuesday, October 21, 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM Chicago time (Wednesday, October 22, 11:00 AM Melbourne time)

Speaker: Stansfield Smith

Stansfield Smith has been publishing the Venezuela & ALBA Weekly News since May 2014 (on ChicagoALBASolidarity.org). He has written in a variety of publications and has been active in the movements in defense of Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and other Latin American countries since about 1978.

Abstract: For 26 years the US government has been trying to overthrow the democratically elected government of Venezuela, put an end to its popular revolution, and take control of its oil, the largest reserves in the world. The US has tried coups, assassination attempts, economic blockade, even inventing their own president, but nothing has worked. Now Washington accuses Venezuela of flooding the US with cocaine, even though the 2025 reports of both the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, and the US Drug Enforcement Agency 2025 National Drug Threat Assessment do not even mention Venezuelan involvement. Now, every few days Washington seeks to provoke incidents in order to justify a military invasion, creating a new US war for oil. Provocations include CIA activity and bombing Venezuelan origin boats without justification, heinously murdering their occupants in international waters.
