#YearInReview 2021 was a pivotal year for us in terms of expanding our social media focus. With a graphic makeover too, the biggest hit has been our Instagram account, which in months has surpassed 1200 followers and is growing fast. Follow us at instagram.com/venanalysis/
Besides all our regular news and opinion content, on Instagram you'll also find videos (bit.ly/3sOjGw3), infographics (bit.ly/3Ft91KH), special milestones (bit.ly/3psmrRr) and a whole lot more
Linktree is a neat workaround for Instagram's one link policy. If you don't need any extra paraphernalia, this is a good option to get links to all our recent content and older stuff we bring back up when needed: linktr.ee/venanalysis
We also created a Telegram channel so you can get updated whenever there's something new published. Join us at t.me/venanalysis
Producing more regular YouTube content is definitely one of our priorities for the coming year. In the meantime, you can catch up with our podcast episodes as well as the awesome videos jointly produced w/ Venezuelan collective @TatuyTv

youtube.com/channel/UCEaCa…
Finally, on to our oldest and most "traditional" social media channels. If Facebook is your preferred network, be sure to follow us at facebook.com/venanalysis. News, analysis, videos and a lot more to read, share and comment on
Last but not least, Twitter! By far our most active and successful social media operation. A one-stop-shop for new articles, hot takes on new developments, takedowns of disingenuous social media coverage and merciless trolling of @jguaido and fellow US puppets
And to wrap up, here are our more most successful tweets this year. #3 was Venezuelan triple jumper winning gold at the Olympics and shattering the world record 🇻🇪🥇
#2 is a moment that won't feature in the history books but which describes this period in Venezuelan history just perfectly
And #1... We should all be ashamed of ourselves 😂

This was a long thread to say that there is no excuse to miss VA content! News briefs, opinion columns, infographics, podcasts, videos, hot takes and a lot more in different shapes and forms. And it's all reader-funded!

🧵🧵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
