The red terror of Maduro y Cabello is underway

State of terror. Scenario of fear. General Vladimir Padrino López warns of the risk of civil war. Nicolás Maduro ratifies the role of the militia. Diosdado Cabello points out that there are already 2,000,000 militiamen. Jorge Arreaza declares that the country will be the mother of all battles. What is this? Chavista dissuasion?

In the barracks of power it is pointed out that they will not hand over power. In the barracks of power it is pointed out that the cost will be high for the enemy. In the barracks of power they already act as the radical loser, who has nothing to lose in life, and is willing to take whatever is ahead. Economy, people, institutions, companies, banks, the whole country, the gold of the Republic, international reserves. Everything.

It would be the final point of the looting, since the booty of Hugo Chávez, which is supposed to have been accumulating and which, in order to defend the revolution - as the case has come - was left in the hands of those who do not hand it over, they monopolize it, since they too, who isolated themselves from the madurist power, have between their eyebrow their own project of power, and their own project of control. And this is none other than to buy the country. To return to the country. By interposed. For companies and people. And to buy what is supposed to be worth nothing in the country, after the usurper of power decides that the razed land is better. Cosmic dust.

The usurpers of power, they say, opted for a country in ruins rather than surrender. And let the right bear the costs. In the middle are the others. The spoils. Those who want to buy their way in. Positioning themselves. At the price of skinny hens.

And if the play doesn't come out? Here we have noted it. The majority of the country wants change. The majority of the country follows Juan Guaidó's route plan. Will this be enough to avoid bloodshed? To avoid the razed earth?

Those who threaten are the same ones who fled on April 11, 2002. It is Nicolás Maduro -along with Cilia Flores- who went via Colombia, ruminating and pointing out that Chávez had betrayed them by not fighting. It is Diosdado Cabello, who fled to the central coast, to Carayaca, who hid until Chávez's return was consummated.

They are the ones who want to rewrite history by pointing out that the invaders, the mercenaries, on the right, will be waiting for them at the Miraflores Palace just as they did on April 11, when they were actually running. Today they are weaving a new version, and so that the country and the world believe them, look out and act like the one who is willing to fight, to the point of generating a conflict of biblical proportions, Armageddon.

It will be remembered that Cabello once said that they, the subordinates, were more radical than Chávez, and that it was he who stopped them when it came to carrying out some violent operations. "Don't let your hand go," and that Chávez told them when they began with the terror of Bolivarian circles.

But as long as violence, insult, repression, torture, murder, and the policy of terror work for them, the cocktail of fear becomes the vice of execution. Freddy Bernal and Cabello himself - who before were very close friends, brothers - went so far as to say that if events did not favor them, they would throw themselves into the mountains, into guerrilla warfare.

With Chavez dead and Maduro in power, other forces are unleashed. With power in hand -usurpado-, with resources in hand -sacked-, Maduro and Cabello -competing for who is the most radical- have moved on to cold and hot operations that have left a toll of hundreds of deaths in all these years, thousands of detainees, persecuted, hundreds of tortured, hundreds of political prisoners and exiles, and millions, millions, millions, of an exodus that does not end. All this has happened, and they have never regretted it. Their faces have never been wrinkled. Now those who have access to that dreadful web of usurped power say that usurpers would be willing to climb into the unknown territory of terrorism. The one who has played with the hunger of the poorest can go to any extreme.

Already the picture itself is terrible with the threats to remain in power regardless of the cost that Venezuela can pay. There is already a violent plan being carried out. Today in Madrid, Juan Guaidó says the following: "Maduro has kidnapped the weapons of the Republic, 27 sergeants tortured in the basement of the DGCIM (Dirección General de la Contrainteligencia Militar) to generate fear and persecution. It is said that the perpetrators of these tortures are Cuban intelligence. We see how children are kidnapped in Venezuela, we see how the FAES (Special Forces of the Bolivarian Police) murders. It is a matter of social control, of generating fear and terror. The only relationship, by the way, that the Venezuelan has had with the State is one of terror and subsidies. And Guaidó asks himself: "Is there a risk of violence? Today there is. Dozens of young people have been murdered in a week. More than 140 in 2017.

Colombian guerrilla. Paramilitaries. Violent or collective groups. Militias. Armed Forces. The National Guard. Cuban Comandos. Everything is written in the booklet of the usurpers. They say their pulse will not tremble. And sometimes they say it with a joker smile. Meanwhile, Maduro says that Cabello is a hard man of the revolution, and Cabello says what about Maduro. He doesn't have to say it, Maduro has shown what he is. The president of the government of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, said it: a tyrant. A tyrant who responds with fire and bullets.

Maduro unleashes state terrorism to entrench itself in power

Kidnappings of minors, arbitrary detentions, razzias in the neighborhoods and extrajudicial executions are the repressive cocktail with which the police arms that abide by Nicolás Maduro put at bay the popular protest in Venezuela. While the international community seeks political solutions to the Venezuelan drama, the sinister Special Action Forces (FAES) put into practice their own version of the death caravan in the poorest neighborhoods of the country.

While world public opinion has its eye on the geopolitical aspect of the Venezuelan situation, within the country the state security agencies controlled by Nicolás Maduro are escalating repression to a level not seen since 2017.

As happened that year, as well as in 2014, the repression of the political police and the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) took precedence over the students and young people in general who took part in those days of protests. On this occasion he has directed all his rage against the poorest neighborhoods of Caracas and some cities in the interior.

La Vega, Cotiza, Catia, Boquerón, Propatria, El Cuartel, El Valle, Coche, the neighborhoods adjacent to San Martín Avenue (very close to the Presidential Palace of Miraflores), and José Félix Ribas in the populous Petare, once electoral bastions of Chavismo in the metropolitan area of Caracas, were the protagonists of three consecutive nights of pots and pans and riots where the legitimate demonstration was mixed with groups from the common underworld (armed by Chavismo) that blocked streets and avenues while confronting with sticks, stones and high-powered weapons the detachments of the GNB and the Bolivarian National Police (PNB). A reflection of the atmosphere of social violence that has been fostered in Venezuela during the years of chavista hegemony.

Subjected to months of severe reasoning in the supply of drinking water, domestic gas, frequent blackouts, chaos in public transportation and famine (plus repeated breaches of promises made by Maduro) these sectors have exploded.

That is the Venezuela of discontent, made up of many of the former Chavista voters who are now joining the street calls made by Juan Guaidó, who more than the chief executive in charge in his capacity as president of the National Assembly, has become the leader and face of the country's new political process, to the point that the social composition of the recent concentrations has changed in everyone's eyes.

The Venezuelan middle class, which at other times was the backbone of the social opposition to Chavismo, and is now weakened by the massive diaspora, has been largely replaced in the streets by all those whom the "Bolivarian revolution" promised to redeem.

The response of the police apparatus of the Madurist regime to this rebellion was not long in coming. Since the morning of January 23rd, the sinister Special Action Forces (FAES), attached to the PNB, have dedicated themselves to hunting down the actors of the days of protests in the different neighborhoods, often with the collaboration of Chavista political cadres who live in those sectors and play the role of informers for their own neighbors.

The image of a mobile unit with FAES officials and an obviously lifeless body is quite revealing of what happened in the style of the Caravan of Death of the Southern Cone dictatorships.

According to figures from the Criminal Forum (@ForoPenal) Provea (@_Provea) and Redes de Ayuda (@RedesAyuda), the balance of the repression as of January 28, reached at least 35 assassinations, 850 arrests of demonstrators, 77 of whom are adolescents and children.

The police brutality that spread to different areas of the country did not even take into consideration the physical condition or health of the minors. For example, Jackson Rodriguez, 14, was released on January 29 with precautionary measures. Arrested on January 23 in Villa Bahia in the state of Bolivar and of special condition, Jackson suffered convulsions in his confinement because GNB did not allow him to receive the medication. He himself denounced physical and verbal abuse: "I was the one who was hit the hardest because I didn't cry. I was beaten by guards, mostly women.

Arbitrarily arresting minors has been the objective of the repressive bodies, which see in them the most active protagonists of the riots, according to Prodavinci.

For the 29th, in statements to journalist Luis Olavarrieta (@LuisOlavarrieta), the president of the Human Rights Coalition, Ana Leonor Acosta, denounced that the number of minors arbitrarily detained in the jails of police agencies was 84, reports Caraota Digital.

Complaints about serious human rights violations perpetrated by the FAES in these days include extrajudicial executions. Specifically, three boys from the town of El Tocuyo (in the central-western part of the country), according to the version of their humble families.

Unfortunately, none of these practices is new in the country. Operatives for the Liberation of the People (OLP) carried out in the poorest neighborhoods of Venezuela by different police agencies, in 2015 and 2017 alone, left a balance of more than 9,200 extrajudicial executions, according to the denunciation substantiated by prosecutor Luisa Ortega Díaz, designated as such by the Chavista majority of the National Assembly and then dismissed by the Constituent of Maduro.

If that figure is true, it would be more than three times the number of people disappeared by Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship in Chile in 17 years and would make Maduro's regime one of the bloodiest in Latin American history.

But numbers apart, what is public and notorious in Venezuela is the repressive style of these police forces (created by former president Hugo Chávez) and in particular of those PLOs, oriented evidently to maintain under the control exercised by parapolice terror the most socially disadvantaged sectors of the country.

This reveals what is probably the most sinister aspect of Chavismo, a political movement that 20 years ago reached the government displaying as one of its flags the defense of Human Rights (particularly the humblest) but that in the exercise of absolute power has been degraded to extremes never imagined in the past.

What are Russia's plans to make Venezuela its new Syria

Moscow is not only on its way to retaining most of the Caribbean country's crude oil production, but is also already operating in the Orinoco Mining Arc, where one of the continent's largest reserves of gold and diamonds is concentrated. Who are the men that Putin designated to carry out his project?

Vladimir Putin has already designated who his men will be in Venezuela to turn it into the Syria of Latin America. The "sirialization" of which is already spoken in a low voice - and not so much - in international forums. Russia has elected two delegates: a businessman and a soldier. Both enjoy the full confidence of the new tsar. The first is a confidant of the former KGB agent. Igor Sechin is the visible head of Rosneft, the oil company that wants to keep the chavista crude.

The second is someone less known and with only martial exposure: Vasilii Petrovich Tonkoshkurov. He is the general who landed on an Antonov An-124 on March 23 in Caracas in absolute secrecy along with 100 other Russian officers. This time there was no show, as when the TU-160 bombers were presented last December.

It is that this time the retinue had precise instructions: it brought with it advanced technology not to take care of the dictator Nicolás Maduro, but to watch over his interests in Venezuela. Which are many and growing. The chavista regime opened its doors to him and, also, offered him its keys. Moscow wasted no time: it saw the crack and burst into an administration weakened to the extreme.

Tonkoshkurov is tough on the art of war. He is a sub-commander of land forces and knows the battlefield like few others. She suffered a serious wound when the Soviet Union confronted the Taliban in the rocky mountains of Afghanistan, being humiliated. It was the beginning of the end of an imperial-communist era that would be reborn by Putin more than a decade later.

The 59-year-old uniformed man was born in Karagandy, in the center of a Soviet Kazakhstan and joined the army at a very early age. He was appointed in May of last year as the first deputy commander of the Chief Command of the Ground Forces, one of the top positions a soldier can aspire to. He was also appointed colonel general by decree of the all-powerful president four years ago.

He is the man in charge of initiating penetration into all Venezuelan state spheres and who, with the invaluable Cuban intervention, already has the map of the key points to occupy from the shadows. Those spheres are: oil -together with Rosneft-, mining, military, economic and political.

Once the decline of Russian agents in Caracas came to light, the scandal deepened and Russia's interference in Latin America became evident. The Kremlin cannot waste time: it knows that Iran and China also have interests in the region.

When the episode became known, Moscow tried to lower its tone and said that it had every right to remain in Venezuela. He did so through María Zajárova, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "How long will we be there? As long as they need. As long as the Venezuelan government needs us.

That is, for an indeterminate period of time. As in Syria, where Putin's hagiographers wrote a constitution that is hidden and without parliamentary sanction, but in which their purposes and conquests were manifested after Bashar Al-Assad was imprisoned by Russians and Iranians. The former appropriated the exploitation of Syrian natural resources and its ports. The ayatollah, their telecommunications.

Venezuela is already in that situation. Maduro gave Rosneft half of Citgo, PDVSA's refinery in Houston, Texas. A strategic jewel whose obligations expire in two weeks. It did so in exchange for guaranteeing payment of the 10 billion dollar debt that it maintains with Russia and weighs on the neck of the hungry Venezuelan people. "That debt is paid with oil," economist Asdrubal Oliveros, director of Ecoanalítica, told Infobae a week ago. Failure to cancel those titles could result in total control of the company by the Kremlin.

Moscow is not only on track to keep most of the crude production but is also already operating in the Orinoco Mining Arc, which concentrates one of the largest reserves of gold and diamonds on the continent. This area has an area of 114,000 square kilometers with mineral wealth and is located in the south of the state of Bolivar.

It is estimated that under the surface of the Bolivarian nation there are about 40 million tons of diamonds, according to calculations made by the Ministry of Mining Development chavista. Putin is relame: he knows that Maduro will sign the paper in front of him in order to get some of the oxygen that Tonkoshkurov promises to inoculate him.

The general will fulfill his mission and will not move one centimeter. He will take care of the technology he transported from a Russian base to Caracas for the companies that already operate in the Orinoco and in the rest of the country. He will also measure the bridges he may build in case his chavista ally finally falls, something that is written in the chronicles of the future.

Carol Prunhuber: "Venezuela is a war between the state and the population."

In Venezuela, the rule of law died. This is as strong a truth as the death of 157 people in the 2017 protests -according to unofficial figures-, whose cases today rumble and go unpunished, while the regime hides them under the carpet of a badly called consecrated revolution for 20 years. The same happens in countries with warlike conflicts.

"Venezuela is the Syria of Latin America," says Carol Prunhuber.

The specialized journalist relates a history of crimes, murders, torture, military trials of civilians, arbitrary arrests and acts of corruption, which was triggered by the protests of 2014, and which weighs on the shoulders of Nicolás Maduro and his military and paramilitary forces.

Over time, the number of victims has increased. Prunhuber, a journalist and expert in the conflicts in Kurdistan, compiled the testimonies of the victims in Sangre y asfalto, a kind of atrocious newspaper that vindicates the struggle against authoritarianism in Venezuela.

Comparisons with countries like Syria or Iraq sound terrifying, but the sound is revealed in the 23,047 violent deaths with which 2018 closed, according to the Venezuelan Observatory of Violence. Syria, for its part, ended that period with a total of 19,799 deaths.

"Venezuela lives a war every day, the war of the State against the population," Prunhuber said in an interview with El Estímulo.

The journalist, who during the 1980s dedicated herself to denouncing the international silence surrounding the genocide of the Kurdish people - which culminated in the publication of the book The Passion and Death of Rahman the Kurd - cannot fail to recall the testimonies of these protests in Iran and compare them with the current situation in the country of the Bolivarian revolution.

"It's different because the Kurds are armed. They have been fighting their leaders for years. The similarity is that they are people who are oppressed by the regimes. Where their wars are, they are considered a second-class population, while the first-class are with the government and the second-class have no access to anything.

This second-class citizenship also includes the families and close friends of the victims, whose voices Prunhuber picks up. Also, in the book, he used testimonies published in social networks and the press, plus interviews with two journalists.

His first meeting with the parents of those murdered by the repressive forces of the State was during the presentation of Sangre y asfalto in Madrid on April 4, two years after the demonstrations.

"We're never going to get the brush of justice because the government continues to dance on the blood of the boys," said Israel Cañizales, whose son, Armando, was shot in the trachea when he protested in Las Mercedes, Caracas, in 2017.

The man denounced that the regime has turned a blind eye to the crimes. In 100 percent of the cases, the culprits have not been identified, the hearings have been postponed on multiple occasions, and the culprits have not been tried.

"These people have become spokespersons for the suffering of an entire nation, there you have the real testimony of what is happening in the country," says the writer.

"It is for them that she wanted to safeguard the memory, to gather the cries and tears in a document so that they would not disappear, so that the executioners would not change history," she said.

The text also includes nearly 200 color photographs provided by photojournalists.

Prunhuber accuses a blind left that prefers not to read and not to be informed so as not to know, of the text "Verdades alternativas de Almudena Grandes" (Alternative Truths of Almudena Grandes), written lightly on March 31 in his El País column. "It is necessary to speak to them".

The former journalist of El Nacional and the French agency Gamma TV, followed closely the events of 2014 in Florida, United States.

Realizing the repetition of the events three years later, he decided to collect the testimonies and archive them for later use. "I was indignant, I was shocked by the chronicles of ordinary people suffering, I who had been with the Kurdish guerrillas in Kurdistan could not believe that something similar was happening in my country.

After two years of research and compilation of material, the journalist assures that the book comes at a time when the Venezuelan opposition has taken a turn in the fight against the Maduro regime, with interim president Juan Guaidó at the head of the leadership. Although Prunhuber doesn't believe in coincidences, he says the book was supposed to come out in September 2018, but it was delayed.

Is his book a vindication of the youth movement and even of student leaders? It is a tribute to the whole country, but without a doubt also to the youth who are the engine of dissidence.

Guaidó is the result of that youth, leader of the student movement of 2007 and his book comes out at the moment when it has become the head of the opposition. Yes. Guaidó is part of that generation that are effectively the leaders of the movement. That generation that has never left the street, in which many were born and grew up with chavismo and died in it, too. Now a large mass of people from popular sectors that are the majority of the country has been added to that protest, which makes it more important. Guaidó what he doesn't have is baggage, but he does have courage, expertise, charisma, intelligence and a back full of pellets from that era. It was always said that this generation was the one that was going to change the country and it is doing it.

Is this shift what has changed the international community's view of Venezuela?

He (Guaidó) and Almagro's work have helped a lot internationally. It has been very hard because Chavismo has been in charge of keeping alive in the region the myth of the left over U.S. imperialism; the U.S. boot and the interventions. But what is affecting change is the danger of immigration to the rest of Latin America and Europe.

We are the Syria of Latin America. Suddenly, Venezuela becomes an exporter of an immense mass of people and that affects the bordering countries and affects the balance of Latin America. Disaster is spreading. The same thing is happening as it did decades ago with drug trafficking. Also the political change in Latin American governments, which became right-wing or conservative, has allowed us to gain international support. And, of course, Trump. I don't support him, but he has tightened the screws that Barack Obama could not.

Is there a war in Venezuela?

In Venezuela there is a war, a war of the State against the population. But in this case, the Venezuelan is an unarmed people and has not taken up arms to overthrow any regime. What we have are sticks of cardboard and stones, a situation of unusual helplessness, and we follow the Constitution to the letter. The Kurds, on the other hand, which are 40 million people who do not have a state, are armed. But who is going to arm themselves in Venezuela if they are all malnourished?

Is the country suffering the consequences of the regime's links with extremist leaders in the Middle East?

In 2008, when I published the story of Abdul Rahman Ghassemlou, the Kurdish leader assassinated in Vienna, Maduro was on his honeymoon with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and that is why I speak of Iran in the book. I was then surprised by Iran's presence in Venezuela. I knew that Hugo Chavez was going further. That's when the fear of Hezbollah's presence in the country began. The expansion that Iran established or even the direct links that Tareck El Aissami has both in Syria and Lebanon with Islamic terrorists, who were given Venezuelan passports. There is an intriguing Middle East much deeper than we see. With Chavez and 21st century socialism the door was opened to Islamic terrorism in Latin America, which has ramifications we don't understand.

Is that interventionism?

We are an occupied territory, an occupation invited by a regime. We are occupied by Cuba, Russia, the ELN, Hezbollah and now Chinese soldiers are arriving. We will have Chinese boots too. It's been going on for years.

It is not a very hopeful panorama, do you have hopes?

We can't lose hope. The situation is difficult and very dark, but that doesn't mean that we don't have to continue. However, I don't know what the solution is. Remembering the Kurdish experience, when there was the attack with chemical bombs against the population. People, out of fear, left in a mass exodus. Bernard Kouchner, then Minister of Health and Humanitarian Aid, as well as founder of Médecins Sans Frontières, introduced the doctrine of the right to humanitarian interference into the United Nations. This consisted of authorizing the use of force when there was a people massacred by their state, when it was a question of protecting national sovereignty and when there was an attack on national peace. The doctrine can be used without a majority vote of the Security Council. In Venezuela it is a possibility because there is a danger of international peace, a problem of sovereignty because we are occupied and a population massacred by its State.
