#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

Corporate media outlets have pulled a muscle patting themselves on the back over the fancy titled "Pandora Papers". Will the world's mighty tremble w/ bombshell "revelations"? No, not really. Whatever it is they're selling, we're not buying. Here's a thread on it 💸🧵 Image
In Latin America we've discovered things that weren't hard to guess. Billionaire Chilean president Piñera has used tax havens. As have Chicago boy Paulo Guedes (Brasil) and Colombian ex-presidents. Also some Russians so Putin can be used on the cover Image
Unlike Wikileaks revelations where wrongdoing by the world's most powerful actors was laid bare for all to see, the Pandora Papers (like other "papers") reach us after going through the digestive tract of the corporate media. So don't expect the status quo to be challenged at all Image

No love lost between puppet groups #1 and #2. We're close to an open war between the more mainstream opposition parties and the extremist faction led by Guaidó and his mentor Leopoldo López. Exhibit A: an interview (in Spanish) by Humberto Calderón Berti
elnacional.com/venezuela/cald…
Calderón Berti is an operative from the old days, former minister and PDVSA president in the 80s and 90s. He feels the US interests should be served with a bit more decorum, as opposed to the rampant thievery and buffoonery of this circus known to some as the "interim govt"
Though he should have known better, Calderón Berti accepted to serve as pretend ambassador to Colombia in 2019. He resigned over disagreements over the handling of Monómeros, Colombia-based Vzlan agrochemical company that has filed for bankruptcy. He returns to it in this itw

🇻🇪🇮🇷 Venezuela's PDVSA and Iran's NIOC reportedly struck a crude-for-condensate swap deal that could shake Washington's illegal sanctions against both countries.

🇻🇪🇮🇷 According to Tanker Trackers, 2.1M barrels of Iranian condensate have reportedly arrived in Venezuela to boost oil output as part of a swap deal.

Venezuela is betting on economic recovery despite US sanctions. Iran has provided expertise and fuel swaps.
Venezuela rolled out its new digital bolívar amid the recent inflation slowed-down. The gov't’s goal is to boost digital operations and avoid cash scarcity. However, a speculative frenzy followed swiftly, with officials calling it a "political operation." venezuelanalysis.com/news/15338

[Thread] When we thought we had seen it all, @jguaido and his band of buffoons manage to surprise us. And not in a good way, of course. Oil giant ConocoPhillips just got the green light to enforce an $8.5B arbitration award because Guaidó's team... failed to show up in court Image
That's right, ladies and gentlemen. This ragtag circus troupe that Washington "recognizes" as the legitimate Vzlan govt (can anyone say this w/ a straight face?) failed to "plead or defend" itself for more than a year. Is it a case of criminal negligence or working for the enemy? Image
The background here is that disgraceful oil multinational ConocoPhillips won an $8.5 billion arbitration award for assets nationalized by the Hugo Chávez govt when the firm refused to comply with new legislation. Funny how these "tribunals" tend to rule in favor of corporations? Image

🧵🧵Venezuela has been mired in a serious economic crisis for years. In this infographic we shed some light on this complex topic, as an oil price crash and deadly US sanctions created a perfect storm that has imposed tremendous hardships on the Venezuelan people #SanctionsKill Image
📉The economic downturn has seen Venezuelan GDP contract by more than two-thirds. The recession was triggered by the 2014 fall in oil prices and later compounded by wide-reaching unilateral coercive measures by Washington and its allies which also blocked any solutions Image
📈High inflation has been a constant in recent years, mostly fueled by currency speculation. The Maduro government has managed to slow down the devaluation-inflation spiral in the past few months, but with sanctions in place recovery or even stability remain an uphill battle Image

Don't take our word for it. Here's a Citi executive saying the bank blocked a PDVSA payment to a creditor. He was testifying in a court case that might demonstrate how far-reaching US sanctions are. But it's the US justice system, so don't hold your breath
reuters.com/world/americas…
Of course, right at hand was an "expert witness" to say that PDVSA could have just used another bank. Sure... The US threatened an asphalt company from Thailand against dealing w/ PDVSA, but a US bank would have done it, no questions asked. Surely Citi were being paranoid...
Of course @Reuters can't avoid its "Maduro says" trick. Copying and pasting is no excuse for dishonesty. Even US representatives and the freaking US Chamber of Commerce attest to the sanctions' economic damage. But corporate media will ride the imperialist train into the sunset
