Today we allow ourselves to alert everyone, through these lines, to alert of the possible actions to expect next Saturday 23rd of February of 2019, aimed at generating a “False Flag” Operation, with the purpose of justifying an eventual armed incursion into Venezuelan territory. This information has been gathered through social intelligence sources, hoping that the organs to which it corresponds will act accordingly.
The information referes to the call that some groups linked to the Venezuelan opposition have made to “pranes” (Venezuelan name for mafia bosses) as well as other members of criminal gangs which would take from Caracas and other states to San Cristóbal, in the Táchira (Colombian border) state. They would be paid in dollars in order to shoot the FANB troops guarding the border posts and against the people who will be receiving “humanitarian aid” in the demonstration called by Guaidó for that day.
Likewise, it should be noted that many young people from all states of the national geography and especially from border states have been summoned, in order to originate a high-impact triggering event, which has the potential to cause a great national commotion. That would be the signal for the military plan of aggression against Venezuela to be activated.
In that order of ideas, we have also proceeded to call many innocent people, the alleged volunteers announced by Juan Guaidó, and most of them from the western states of the country (do not forget the Venezuelan “half-moon”, ndt: States of Zulia, Tachira and Merida, all boarding Colombia). These people undoubtedly require medicines and other supplies, but the plan consists on using them as victims in the framework of the hidden agenda that the opposition handles for that day.
It is evident that just as on April 11, 2002, they are preparing an entire media scenario aimed at delegitimizing the current government led by Nicolás Maduro to justify the deployment of an armed action on Venezuelan territory, creating a supposed liberated zone in the Táchira state.
As several analysts have warned, and because the first plan failed for reasons beyond control of their planners, now this new attack is prepared based on following assumptions that we have received in the same way:
1.- Guaidó declared on February 23 that “humanitarian aid will enter through Cúcuta”.
2.- The Venezuelan army is stationed on the border.
3.- Hundreds of Venezuelans living in Colombia would go to the border on Saturday 23 to enter Venezuela … All encouraged, supported and sponsored by the Colombian State and the US (could it be said that they are being ambushed?).
4.- There are Colombian paramilitaries infiltrated among the Venezuelan demonstrators.
5.- The trucks with “humanitarian aid” will try to enter together with the demonstrators.
6.- CNN, BBC, RCN, Caracol, and other international media are stationed in the surroundings to film the staging.
7.- It should be warned about the real possibility that the Venezuelan army will prevent the entry of this aid and these demonstrations into Venezuelan territory.
8.- Paramilitaries and snipers stationed in the Colombian border side may begin to shoot at random protesters and opponents equally.
9.- The media will then film those scenes and show them to the world. They will be presented as breaking news of the fake news, which will be put on the agenda, and probably with headlines like: “Nicolás Maduro represses the protesters, causing many deaths and injuries.”
10.- This will obviously generate an international pronouncement of different instances on these “actions” and probably a cascade effect will take place
11.- That’s when the US sends its aircraft carriers to punish Maduro.
12.- The military invasion action would be launched with Colombian paramilitaries who will pose as Venezuelans.
This is only one hypothesis but remember that any resemblance to reality is not purely coincidental.
Nor can we neglect the façade of the border on the sides of states such as Amazonas, Bolívar, with countries such as Guyana and Brazil; nor the facade of the Caribbean, where is the ABC of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, I mean the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao.
And a third and last hypothesis, would be to see that distraction maneuvers will probably be performed in the aforementioned border corridors, but the real goal by the foreign armies is to attack and capture the capital of the Republic itself, Caracas, since that city it is the center of the political power dispute in present-day Venezuela. Although it is in states like Bolívar, Amazonas, Anzoátegui, Nueva Esparta, Monagas, Sucre, Delta Amacuro, Falcón, Zulia, where the greatest wealth of the country is concentrated; it is of no use to the invaders who seek to patronize Venezuela if they do not manage to control the headquarters of the branches of the National Public Power, so they must first control Caracas, and attempt then the rest of the country.
Therefore, we need maximum mobilization and awareness in this hour, calm and sanity, keeping nerves of steel, but without neglecting the impetus and the hot fists we need to impose to face the danger that looms over the Republic.
Obviously, and as a comrade recently told me, we are living in the middle of the hour of forging and ovens.
Bolívar and Chávez live, and their struggles and the Motherland that they bequeathed to us will continue!
Ever onward to victory!
Independence and Socialist Homeland!
We will live and we will win!
I cannot understand at all why Guaido has not been arrested and charged with serious crimes against the State.
I must be missing something, somewhere along the line but isn’t it incredible that this guy is still allowed to carry right on attempting to foment a coup?
That was Trump’s Plan A. They made the declaration, and the expected to see film on CNN of Guido being arrested. That was going to be the cue to launch the airstrikes and the invasion to overthrow another elected government in the names of freedom and democracy.
We are seeing this scenario now because Maduro didn’t react in such an obvious way to such an obvious provocation.
Also in immediate aftermath of self declaration Gauido sought refuge in foreign embassy – this was part of the script, as any arrest would be de facto international incident and be covered in US media as such. The US wanted a big arrest scene at foreign embassy to portray and discredit Maduro as a ‘repressive dictator’ – irrespective of the outrageous political actions of their proxy Gauido. The US CIA/State Department nexus specializes in manufacturing these contrived foreign policy stunts – maximized for manipulated media ‘outrage’. However, in fact, the longer Gauido remain free, making self anointed Presidential decrees, the longer he looks the proxy usurper and slightly ridiculous – and the longer the public gets to see and asses this. Accordingly, the US will seek to escalate to another ‘crisis point’ as quickly as possible – before their shaky control over the narrative starts falling apart in public.
The usurper is a member of the national assembly and as such has diplomatic immunity even for treason, which is incredible but nevertheless is the fact of the matter. Maduro chose the high ground of obeying the law and constitution, unlike the opposition. Currently, only one Outlaw US Empire carrier group is anywhere in the vicinity at the Florida Straits. Venezuela has the means to sink that carrier and defend its airspace unlike other nations. And we’ve seen just how effective the Gringo cruise missiles and how easily they get shot down by the air defense systems Venezuela operates. Realistically for success, the Outlaw US Empire needs to employ almost all its assets in one major attack instead of feeding them in piece-meal. What’s facing Venezuela’s been anticipated since 2002. As Maduro and all segments of his government have shown, they are all ready and instead of fear have the courage of their convictions displayed for all to see.
I would not be surprised if out of desperation if everything else fails the empire out of desperation kills Guido as a reason to attack Venezuela
My prayers are with the Venezuelan people, the government that they elected, including Maduro. After the U.S. and entire western media were busted for similar things, supporting terrorist group White Helmets, and Mueller was busted as nothing more than a terrorist minded political troll, I doubt that any American would be stupid enough to fall for the same old tricks, in a different location, with different actors, the only things that remain the same are the U.S. & west’s desire to occupy any oil rich nation with a government run central bank, denying the oil and banking lobbies of their self perceived right to any nation’s resources, and a bank tax on citizens, for which they have no right to claim!
We can’t help but notice the timing coincidence of Mueller wrapping up the Russia/Trump investigation, which had the unintended consequence of harming Mueller, the deep-stare, the DNC, and the national media 100s times more than Trump, now that he has consented to destroying his own credibility and reputation, even more than he already has, with destroying the INF, JCPOA, and imposing economic sanctions on any country, for no reason in particular. It seems that all that Mueller demanded for the investigation to end was another oil war, and for Trump to end all illusions that he is anti-war.
If the deep state, and DNC think that this will distract people from the Mueller investigation destroying their reputations, they have overplayed their hands. Nobody dealing with a full deck believes either political party, or the national media, which has plummeting viewers. They can talk about Venezuela all that they want on the Sunday shows that nobody even bothers wasting their time on anymore.
It would appear that same methods will be used as they were in Kiev in 2014, namely mercenaries firing at demonstrators, with Yanukovich being declared the “guilty” party. I hope and pray that Venezuela will not be attacked and invaded. However, greed directed at Venezuelan oil and gold may well tip the balance.
BF I am almost certain that some big false flag is being preparerad by the usual suspects. The timing not difficult to choose like for instance the music concert promoted by virgin owner. As a curious thing the CIA and mossad being very active in Colombia so there is no lack of expertise.
The one thing we know is that on this, as on everything else in this world of lies and propaganda, everyone’s minds will be already made up. If I was Venezuela, I’d try to record as much as possible of this. I’d have drones in the air and cameras and the grounds and electronic warfare teams trying to grab any signal they can get. But, it really wouldn’t matter if they got the snipers on video or a recording of the order to fire being given. In this propaganda world, most humans will salivate when the bell they’ve been trained to react to rings. Truth doesn’t matter. The people who think they get to name the leader of the Venezuelan people will still think so after 2-23. The people who think that human beings are not slaves and are endowed by their creator with certain rights, among them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will still believe that in opposition.
I’d be very curious to hear what Russia is advising Maduro to do? Because of course that this seems like the same playbook that Yanukovic faced with the Maiden coup. I feel I’ve got a decent and humane soul, so I approved of Yanukovic’s restraint before the violent coup overthrew him. Yet that did not work out well for him, and especially not for the people he was trying to represent and for whom he had the responsibility to protect. Being humane and decent and letting people protest is all and good, but allowing your country to fall into the hands of fascists and then plundered with many people hurt, that is not good. If one looks at history, the one revolution in the region that has succeeded in standing against the Great Satan is Cuba, and thus it appears as if Fidel and Che were closer to getting it right.
But, since Russia has been through this not very long ago, I’d be curious as to how their thinking has evolved as to how to handle such tactics?
Sadly, I think the Great Satan will succeed in creating yet another piece of hell on earth. At least in the short term. When the Great Satan wants to set his/her demons lose upon a land, its hard for mere mortals to resist. But I also think that the Venezuelan people have gotten a taste of freedom and of life that is just a bit fairer, and that they will fight the Yankees off in the end.
It’s been speculated that Sir Richard Branson’s “humanitarian” aid concert is being specifically staged for a American-sponsored provocation in which “mysterious snipers” kill concert-goers or other supposed humanitarian aid providers.
This is a Maidan scenario all over again.
Indeed, Branson’s concert should be renamed Venezuela Aid LIE.
Trump Likes ‘Beautiful’ Border Walls – Venezuela Should Build Him One
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2019/02/trump-likes-beautiful-border-walls-venezuela-should-build-him-one.html
Furthermore, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has also been warning against some kind of false-flag provocation involving the America-sponsored “humanitarian” convoy in general.

Branson just has a little problem along with Prince Andrew and Epstien and Billy the kid fondler from Little Rock. That is all.
When guano relayed his zionazi-gay massa’s orders about the “aid” to be brought across the border on 23 Feb., it was obvious the zionazi-gays had their next stage in their war against Venezuela in place ready to activate. Seen it speculated in other material that the zionazi-gays intend a false flag action for 23 Feb or soon after.
The zionazi-gays are not just attacking Venezuela in Latin America, they already have a similar destabilisation strategy working in Nicaragua and probably the beginnings of one being set up against Cuba.
Bolton Threatens Nicaragua, Venezuela With Series of Menacing Tweets

“Earlier, the hawkish Trump advisor was mocked by Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova over his claims about “consequences” for those who seek to “destroy Venezuela’s democratic institutions,” with Zakharova implying that Bolton should look in the mirror.
US National Security Adviser John Bolton has issued a fresh series of menacing tweets against Washington’s adversaries in Latin America, including a message targeting the Venezuelan military and a threat against Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.”

Venezuela Expels Euro Deputies amid Reports of Talks with Washington
https://venezuelanalysis.com/news/14333
“Venezuelan authorities have expelled six deputies of the European Parliament (EP) this Sunday after denying them entrance to the country.
Following their denied entry, the deputies accepted an invitation from Colombia’s Foreign Ministry to travel to the Venezuelan-Colombian border city of Cucuta to attend a concert sponsored by Virgin CEO Richard Branson on Saturday, when Guaido plans to see US-supplied “humanitarian aid” cross the border, despite orders from Maduro to block it.
Venezuela’s Foreign Office justified the MEPs’ expulsion, claiming the right-leaning politicians were looking to “conspire” while in the country.
“The group of Euro deputies which looked to visit the country with conspiring objectives had been informed some days ago that they would not be allowed in, and we insisted that they desist [from travelling] so as to avoid another provocation,” Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza stated Monday.
“[The Venezuelan government] will not allow the European extreme right from breaking the peace and stability of the country with another grotesque act of intervention. Venezuela must be respected!” he continued.”
This what Maduro has to say about the american attack on his country:
‘Open white supremacist’ Trump & ‘KKK extremists in White House’ attack Venezuela – Maduro
https://www.rt.com/news/451284-maduro-trump-white-supremacist/
“It’s a political war, of the United States empire, of the interests of the extreme right that today is governing, of the Ku Klux Klan, that rules the White House, to take over Venezuela,” President Nicolas Maduro told the BBC’s Orla Guerin.
“They hate us, they belittle us, because they only believe in their own interests, and in the interests of the United States.”
“He is, publicly and openly. He has encouraged the fascist tendencies, the neo-fascists and neo-Nazis within the United States, in Europe, in Latin America. It’s an extremist tendency that hates the world,” he said.”
“Wake up, open your eyes and see: this is an aggression against a peaceful country,” he said.
“If you really want to help Venezuela, you have to support peace. Say ‘no’ to the intervention. Tell the US: ‘hands off Venezuela’. And support Venezuela in its own effort to resolve its own problems through dialogue.”
The corporate media has set up stages for film angles in preparation for a pre scripted outcome. So? Do not give it to them. What happens on Colombian soil is Colombia’s resposibility.
However there are going to be two rival concerts happening simultaneously on either side of the border.
If Russia were to tell them anything it would share how they nip anything getting out of hand in Moscow when there are organized provocateurs who mix in with crowds in order to accomplish pre planned distruptions.
Also it is one thing to make business deals with the CIA but it is another thing entirely to betray your country to them. I’m sure the Cuban advisors to Maduro have made it clear to any narcotraficante gusanos that there will be consequences for unpatriotic behaviors. This is a nasty business all around.
Ivanka Trump and John Bolton have just tweeted that a deputy military attache of Venezuela’s delegation to UN in NYC just defected to Guiado’s side.
Is this all they have? Doesn’t seem to be a high ranking position.
With Pinochet, Kissinger had a General Chief of Staff…
Guanó is not only a masonic traitor, he’s a moron ! He is obviously the weakest link in these unfolding events. If the ziocoup is derailed, he will be more valuable dead than alive, so some ziohitman will murder him to put the blame on Maduro. Cuban intelligence knew that the CIA previously planned to assassinate the ziostooge Leopoldo López, and that is why the governor of “Venezuela” had to arrest him in order to protect the life of this despicable traitor.
To Mr. Martorano: Please stop promoting Bolivar as a hero. He was the opposite of a hero, he was a total criminal. He was a mason, a killer, a racist (slandering, attacking and killing defenseless Spanish citizens because they were Spanish & white is also racism), a hater, a liar, an opportunist, a traitor. He and his masonic sidekicks were hired by the ziobanksters to carry out a coup in the American Provinces of the Spanish Empire. What we are suffering now in Latinoamérica (which is my country of origin. We do not accept the artificial divisions created by these zioagents) is a consequence of what these criminals unleashed.
Now in Spanish for Mr. Martorano:
Por favor pare de promover a Bolivar como un héroe. El era lo opuesto de un héroe, era un completo criminal. Era un masón, un asesino, un racista (calumniar, atacar y matar a indefensos ciudadanos españoles porque eran originarios de España y de raza “blanca” también es racismo), un odioso, un mentiroso, un oportunista, un traidor. Bolivar y sus compinches masones fueron contratados por los banqueros sionistas satánicos para ejecutar un golpe de estado en las Provincias Americanas del Imperio Español. Lo que estamos sufriendo ahora en Latinoamérica (la cual es mi país de origen. Nosotros no aceptamos las divisiones artificiales creadas por éstos agentes sionistas) es una consecuencia de lo que éstos criminales desataron.
Bien dicho, sr. Latinoamericano!
Bolivar, San Martín, and the other “próceres” were freemasons supported and financed by the British! The Independece wars of Hispanic America were actually a civil war were the the poor & destitute (indios, labourers, etc) sided with the Spanish royalists because they knew that the Secesionists were just a bunch of bourgueois liberals with the only goal of plundering & balkanizing their own lands. Which is indeed what happened!
Saludos desde España
The generosity of USA for the people of Venezuela is very touching. To make sure the “aid” actually reach the suffering people, make sure at least 5,000-10,000 unarmed and fearless chavistas stands ready at Cucuta to receive those badly needed goodies with the cameras broadcasting to the world. Uniformed Venezuelan army probably should not be deployed, even in the event of a mass brawl. A new People’s Liberation Army (PLA) anyone? How about North Venezuelan Army (NVA) and Vene-Cong (VC)?
Russia will sit this one out
I just rememebered a north korean tv news clip where the nk journalist was giving blankets to the US homeless in LA…
Does this mean Kim got the right to lunch his 1 nuke at the pindos, all in the name of intervention?
ooooh the absurdity….
The opplan Mr Martorano describes seems quite plausible. It might work… But what would the Imperium achieve beyond a Quisling-Imperial (military) pied-à-terre and ongoing war – 100% prohibited in Law, including US domestic Law?
Indeed, the nazis may do as the author describes, but the objective reality is that the flies would have conquered the fly-paper… Or, in another way of speaking, walked open-eyed directly into the deeper area of the Big Muddy.

At this point, I don’t want to hear another word from Trump. He deceived all who supported him. And I don’t want to hear any more from those who still cheer him on. The man has shown the world what he really is and this is bad news for the entire world. America has gotten the leaders it deserves.
Who knows about Trump. This is very interesting interview if I may recommend. It deviates from article subject but relevant in broader view.

Ps: Venezuela maybe closing borders
I really do think that Maduro has made a terrible mistake by relying on the US Corporate Firms to extract and process the “ sweet crude” that makes up the most of Venezuela’s oil moreover, instead of preparing alternatives to US dependence by in volving the likes of China,Russia and India, Brazil in the Venezuelan economy after the USregime tried to Coup Chavez, the socialist’s in Caracus just sat and did very little to diversify the economy and, the results are here again for all to see.
I do hope that the people of Venezuela don’t fall for this one and that china and Russia intervene both economically and militarily ( lightly ), in order that another US “ freedom and democracy “ attack doesn’t turn Venezuela into another Iraq or Libya. Of course it could be that it’s too late to rescue Venezuela and that the brics and especially China and Russia should turn their energies to who is likely next on the “ Munroe declarational list” that will likely be Bolivia who are seen as a little too independent for Corporate Washington and perhaps could do with some “ freedom” which doubtless the US and it’s EU vassals will be happ6 to oblige, perhaps simultaneously attacking Iran and Syria just for good measure.
Venezuela should partner with neutral countries capable of helping them build their own oil refineries, then send their brightest and best to geological engineering schools and for petroleum-chem degrees, but for Venezuela’s sake don’t stop there. Lay on the alternative fuel/energy stream—solar, wind, and nuclear.
I was told by a US lawyer that Venezuela was too much in debt to pull that off. Really? More that the USA’s $22 trillion? Isn’t that $22 thousand billion dollars in debt?
Meanwhile, put the Guaido interloper on trial for treason and put Madero on notice that he’s toast, too. That there will be NO rigged elections and no corrupt dictatorships.
Reform, reform, reform. Evolve, evolve, evolve. Then reform and evolve some more.
Remember that Cabaeza de Baca and Don Quixote and the Portuguese who said “When Dictatorship becomes fact, revolution become imperative!” Is YOUR history and tradition.
Guaido (or “Guido” on fat puppet Pompeo’s fat language, who miss to learn to pronounce his puppet’s puppet name); although much better is “Guiado” (“dirigido”, “conducido”, “manejable”, “canalizar”) is one-event-man; so, unreal. The main issue is the biggest of all (ever) military secrets: do (your) army want to fight (or not). If it is the case (here: Venezuelan’s army wanna fight), everything is ok. If not, Maduro shall have a Saddam Husein’s destiny: for 1 or 2 million of USA$, brigade generals surrender/dismissed their brigades without combat. The war/war-threath is the best tool for unite people. Maduro says on RT: “I don’t want to remember in history as a coward.” My whole heart and hope for Venezuela is based in this his sentence.
For Venezuela from Belgrade, Serbia. Be brave and nobody can do you nothing!
