Baltimore, Dec. 13 — Activists shifted the spotlight from the pageantry of the Army–Navy game, using Donald Trump’s attendance as a platform to center a powerful demand: “No war on Venezuela.” Hundreds lined the streets outside the stadium where Trump was scheduled to appear, unfurling banners that read, “No war on Venezuela and Palestine” and “No to ICE — Money for jobs, education, and health care.” Andrew Matatag, representing the publication Struggle-La Lucha, drew a sharp contrast. “Almost every police agency on record — from the Secret Service to Homeland Security — is amassed here today to protect Trump,” he said.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro recently highlighted the role of the National Council for Productive Economy in driving the growth of a new, self-sustaining economy. During a meeting on Friday, December 13, which brought together the government, the banking sector, and representatives of the country’s main business chambers, he presented the year-end gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast of 9%, surpassing the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) projections and marking 18 consecutive quarters of sustained economic growth.

How The US Empire Creates Chaos To Disrupt Multipolarity

December 14, 2025 Daniela A. Rodríguez M., Geopolitical Economy. , , , ,
With the return of Donald Trump for his second term, diplomacy increasingly resembles a battlefield, rather than a paved road to cooperation, development, and peace. This is not a problem of one US president, but rather the process of internal decomposition of the US empire, which is seeing its hegemony weakened, and is losing its capacity for influence, the possibility of controlling discourse, and its military supremacy. Therefore, it has to resort to the use of coercive power to try to preserve the geopolitical space it has had until now, because moving toward the globalized world and the world government it proposed at the end of the 20th century does not seem to be an option today.

Afrodescendants: Casting Off Illusions, Preparing For Struggle

December 14, 2025 Afro-Venezuelan Organizations Network, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The Afro-Venezuelan Organizations Network (ROA) and the Regional Articulation of Afrodescendants of Latin America and the Caribbean (ARAAC), Afrodescendant organizations born from anti-imperialist social change processes and anti-neocolonial struggles at the dawn of the twenty-first century, carry the dignity and sovereignty that our African Ancestors entrusted to us as a living imprint of the self-determination of peoples. Latin America and the Caribbean have suffered, throughout the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, invasions, territorial dispossession, and targeted assassinations of Latin American and Afrodescendant leaders.

Puerto Rico, US Imperialism And Venezuela’s Defiant Sovereignty

December 14, 2025 Cira Pascual Marquina, Venezuelanalysis. , , ,
As the United States reasserts its hemispheric priorities in its recent National Security Strategy document, Latin America and the Caribbean are once again cast as a zone of interest, with Venezuela squarely in Washington’s sights. Puerto Rico—still a US colony more than a century after the 1898 invasion—plays a central role in this imperial architecture, serving as both a military platform and a living example of colonial rule in the region. Cira Pascual Marquina spoke with Puerto Rican geographer, author, and longtime activist Déborah Berman Santana about the continuity of US imperialism, the island’s strategic function in projecting imperialist military power in the region, and why Venezuela’s insistence on sovereignty represents such a profound threat to US interests.

Who’s The Dictator? Venezuela’s Maduro Or Ukraine’s Zelenskyy

December 13, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , , , , , ,
Within the narrow spectrum of establishment punditry, “dictator” functions as a term of opprobrium reserved for governments Washington designates as enemies. By this measure, Maduro is cast as the dictator, while Zelenskyy is sanctified as democratic. Ronald Reagan’s UN ambassador, Jeane Kirkpatrick, wrote about a democracy “double standard” in 1979. A Democrat turned anti-communist neoconservative, she formulated a convenient rhetorical distinction. The so-called Kirkpatrick Doctrine supported “authoritarian” traditional dictatorships and opposed leftist “totalitarian regimes.”

President Maduro Calls US Seizure Of Oil Tanker Act Of Piracy

December 13, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , ,
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro described the detention of an oil tanker seized by US military personnel in the Caribbean Sea on Wednesday as an act of piracy. On Thursday night, he reported that the crew was abducted and is missing, a circumstance referred to in human rights terms as a forced disappearance. “Yesterday, they committed an absolutely criminal and illegal act when they carried out a military assault, kidnapping, and robbery—like pirates of the Caribbean—of a merchant, commercial, civilian, private vessel. A vessel of peace, which was attacked as it was about to enter the Atlantic, not off the coast of Venezuela.

Caracas, Venezuela – On December 10, thousands of delegates from over 50 countries gathered into the Venezuelan military club for the second day of the International People’s Assembly for Sovereignty and Peace of Our Americas. The theme of unity was still present throughout the second day of the conference. Hundreds of delegates conversed with each other throughout the club before the start of the event. The U.S. delegation brought out a banner reading “No war on Venezuela campaign! Stop the wars at home and abroad!”

Venezuela Charges Washington With ‘Theft, Piracy’

December 11, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Venezuela has accused the US government of “blatant theft” and “piracy,” following Washington’s seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker off the Latin American country’s coast on 10 December. The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry strongly condemned what it said was a “blatant theft and an act of international piracy, publicly announced by the President of the US, who confessed to the assault on an oil tanker in the Caribbean Sea.” “Already in his 2024 campaign, [US President Donald Trump] openly stated that his objective has always been to keep Venezuelan oil without paying any consideration in return, making it clear that the policy of aggression against our country responds to a deliberate plan to plunder our energy wealth,” the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry added.

December 9, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , ,
On Sunday, a broad alliance of Norwegian groups dedicated to peace and solidarity announced a demonstration planned for Tuesday, December 9, in condemnation of the Nobel Committee’s decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan far-right politician María Corina Machado. Machado has publicly called for a US military intervention against Venezuela, supports the over 1,000 unilateral coercive measures imposed on the country, has played a key role in orchestrating violent and destabilizing actions, and has links to criminal drug trafficking organizations.

Every Voting Tech Hack Washington Blamed On Venezuela Was Invented In Ohio

December 9, 2025 Gloria Guillo, Uncontrolled Opposition. , , , ,
Every voting tech hack that Washington claims was “invented in Venezuela” was discovered, demonstrated, and documented in the United States years — sometimes decades —before Smartmatic even existed. Full Stop. With President Trump’s false narco-trafficking claim boomeranging back and re-exposing the U.S. governments longstanding involvement through its military and CIA in cocaine and heroin trade, its state department is running out of excuses that justify stealing Venezuela’s crude oil to prevent higher prices that could result in the dreaded 1973 event of “dropping trucks off the road.”

Thousands Mobilize Against Trump’s War Threats To Venezuela

December 8, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
Thousands of people in the United States demonstrated on December 6 under the slogan “Stop the war before it starts!” to protest against President Donald Trump’s plans for military aggression against Venezuela. The mobilization, organized by a broad coalition of progressive organizations, declared that the republican administration is repeating past mistakes by justifying a possible intervention with unfounded accusations about drug trafficking. Among the first groups backing the protests are the ANSWER Coalition, People’s Forum, Black Alliance for Peace, CODEPINK, Palestinian Youth Movement, Party for Socialism and Liberation, Democratic Socialists of America, and Dissenters.

Lies, False Flags And Extrajudicial Murders; Resisting US Attacks On Venezuela

December 7, 2025 Francisco Dominguez, Red Pepper. , , , ,
In deploying the largest naval armada seen in the Caribbean Sea for decades, the Trump administration has spent recent months ramping up long-standing US aggression against Venezuela. Predicated upon the falsehood that Venezuela is a narco-state run by the non-existent Cartel de los Soles, the fleet comprises at least thirteen warships, including three guided-missile destroyers, five support vessels, a nuclear submarine and the USS Gerald Ford.  The latter, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, is capable of carrying over 75 military aircraft and a range of military assets. Overall, the US has deployed at least 16,000 military personnel to the flotilla. The Pentagon is also docking warships and moving in war materiel through Puerto Rico and Trinidad and Tobago, and very likely through Guyana and other Caribbean islands. 

‘Venezuela, The Threat Of A Good Example’

December 7, 2025 Cira Pascual Marquina, Venezuelanalysis. , , ,
As Washington intensifies its hybrid war against Venezuela—combining sanctions, lawfare, psychological operations, and military threats—the South American country once again finds itself in the headlines. To understand this moment, Cira Pascual Marquina spoke with Geraldina Colotti, an Italian journalist, revolutionary militant, and former political prisoner who has engaged with Venezuela for decades. Colotti argues that the current offensive against the Caribbean nation is part of a broader imperial strategy to reassert US hegemony amid a terminal crisis of global capitalism. Drawing parallels with Iraq, Libya, Palestine, and Vietnam, she explains how the Bolivarian Revolution represents the “threat of a good example” and why, despite suffocating sanctions and relentless destabilization, Venezuela continues to be a living paradigm of popular resistance.

Resistance Builds Within Against Trump’s Drive To War With Venezuela

December 6, 2025 Devin B. Martinez, People's Dispatch. , , , , , ,
The US government has continued to accelerate its drive to war with Venezuela. While rumors circulate about phone calls and possible talks between US President Donald Trump and Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, in tandem, the US head of state has continued to launch bizarre and illegal threats and accusations against the South American nation. On Saturday, November 29, Trump unilaterally declared that Venezuelan airspace was closed, despite international law stipulating that only Venezuela has authority over the airspace above its territory and reports that air traffic above Venezuela has since continued.
