I wrote this photo essay from here in Venezuela, where hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of Caracas to condemn the suffocating US embargo of their country, using the slogans #NoMoreTrump and #TrumpUnblockVenezuela

@GrayzoneProject Here are some of the photos I took at the #NoMoreTrump protest against the US embargo here in Venezuela
@GrayzoneProject The #NoMoreTrump march against the US embargo in Caracas was absolutely ENORMOUS.
These photos are just from the rally at the end, after 5 hours of marching
@GrayzoneProject These Venezuelans are entirely ignored by the corporate media, which has repeatedly helped to sell the right-wing US coup attempts
The Trump administration is collectively suffocating the entire Venezuelan population with a criminal embargo that is devastating the economy and trying to starve them. And people know who their enemy is
#TrumpDesbloqueaVenezuela = Trump unblock Venezuela!
"Trump sanciona a tu madre" = Trump sanction your mom!
Ex-CIA agent explains US regime-change strategy:
"The point is to put pressure on the targeted gov by ripping apart the social and economic fabric of the country… That means making the people suffer as much as you can until the country plunges into chaos"

At the huge march against the US embargo here in Venezuela, protesters handed out this flyer:
“How terrorist attacks by Guaidó and US imperialism affect you:
1. They try to paralyze the strategic economic-productive apparatus of the country.

Flyer continued:
"2. They prevent access to and distribution of food, water, electricity, gas, transportation and communication.
3. They weaken the healthcare system and threaten the lives of Venezuelan families, especially our children and grandparents.”
Today there was another massive pro-government rally in Venezuela against the US blockade that will be completely ignored by the corporate media.
These protests against the US economic warfare happen every week, but corporate media outlets don't care
