#whatsappdown #facebookdown #instagramdown With Zuckerberg's stuff having some (ahem) technical difficulties, why not check out some VA content you might have missed?
Our latest interview featured anthropologists Iraida Vargas and Mario Sanoja. In a really interesting conversation, they make the case that Venezuela's modern-day popular power efforts build on a long history of rebellious and communal roots. Read it here: venezuelanalysis.com/interviews/153…
Venezuela still has one of the continent's most backward penal codes when it comes to abortion. Feminist movements have been organizing to make sure that changes soon. Find out more in this report: venezuelanalysis.com/news/15336
It's no secret that Venezuela's economy has been mired in a severe crisis, first triggered by an oil price crash and then compounded by murderous US sanctions. We compile some indicators in our latest infographic: venezuelanalysis.com/images/15339
If you're in the mood for a video instead, check out this joint production with @TatuyTv on how imperialist anti-Venezuela propaganda has made its way into pop culture: venezuelanalysis.com/video/15229

🧵🧵The border dispute between Venezuela and Guyana has flared up recently, leading to a war of words, increased military deployment and increasing signs of US intervention. We have prepared an infographic to explain the history and context of the controversy (thread) Image
The Essequibo Strip is a sparsely populated, 160,000 square km region spanning to the west of the Essequibo River. It has been the subject of centuries of dispute which, sadly, have never taken into account the indigenous population Image
Instead, it has always been pretty much about resources. Gold mining is what drove British expansion westward (more on this below), and the recent discoveries of massive oil deposits led to Venezuela and Guyana raising tensions too Image

About time... Spain's @el_pais reports that the $3 billion in frozen Vzlan assets will soon be released. This was agreed to between the Venezuelan govt and opposition last November! But this thread is to point out the dishonest b.s. from the Spanish establishment's mouthpiece 🧵 Image
This is the article in question:

It essentially relies on anonymous sources who say that the funds will soon be released. El País then covers this fairly straightforward report in a cloak of lies and misconceptionsenglish.elpais.com/international/…
So it begins. How dare Maduro want to access Venezuelan funds? Then it's incredibly disingenuous and racist to claim the govt wants to fix schools/hospitals to "polish its image." If a western govt builds a hospital, it's laudable. If Vzla does it it's to fool voters. GTFOH Image

🧵🧵Worse than a broken clock... Even when it wants to state the obvious, in this case that sanctions are a terrible and wrong policy, the @nytimes remains fully draped in US exceptionalism. The corporate media are an active front of the US empire (thread) Image
The article in question () is instantly off to a bad start. We are supposed to agree that Iran and NK should not have nuclear weapons, unlike the only country to ever use them. And would they also call the Iraq war an "egregious violation of intl laws"? https://t.co/ElNZjjKTlTtinyurl.com/3rmur79p
Image
The end of the first section shows that this editorial is really not going anywhere since it's based on the outrageously false premise that the US should have some kind of god-given ability to impose murderous sanctions on other nations when it so pleases Image

🧵🧵🧵We just came across an incredible piece from the Financial Times (not in a good way). It has a remarkable blend of fallacious arguments, outright lies, bias, and lack of standards. This is a long thread, so bear with us! Image
This is the article in question from @FT (tinyurl.com/y32pmvtk). You can tell from the off that you're in for a ride because it's based on this assumption that the West "presses for free and fair elections" when this in fact has happened less frequently than Yeti sightings Image
FT "journalists" must get a bonus for every use of the word "authoritarian." It's not often that a piece starts w/ an outright falsehood, b/c "democracy" never left Venezuela, only the US didn't like election results. But this apocalyptic tone is worthy of a good chuckle Image

The US-backed Venezuelan opposition, which runs an imaginary parliament, wants a US court to declare a Venezuelan bond as invalid to try and soften the disaster brought by their complete bundling when in charge of CITGO

reuters.com/markets/commod…
The strategy haw few chances of success, for several reasons, not least of them that when this National Assembly was actually running it *did not* formally declare the bond issued by the Maduro govt as illegal. A US-backed group was not about to challenge financial investors
.@Reuters will not let a short, straightforward piece get in the way of some outrageous lying. US sanctions have been classified as "collective punishment" against the Vzlan population, and these stenographer clowns write "sanctions against the Maduro govt" #SanctionsKill Image

The @BBC is shocked, of course w/ its stiff-upper-lip propagandist style, to find out that... (you better sit down for this) the Venezuelan government wants to position its message on social media (gasp!). Yes, it will be hard to recover from this one (thread) Image
This is the article in question (bbc.com/news/blogs-tre…). In summary, the UK's state propaganda outlet is appalled to find out that the Venezuelan govt tries to do what it and other state/private channels do all the time. Exceptionalist delusion Image
Unless you're naive enough to believe giant tech platforms are a neutral playing field, it's quite reasonable to try and amplify the message to get over the noise and the well-funded propaganda coming from the enemy. Also, don't Western outlets just repeat the State Dept line? Image
