Venezuela: As US Leaders Call Fraud, US Observers Endorse Results

to the WarParty, any opposition to warcrime and atrocity must be destroyed...

"..the accounts and testimonies of dozens of American electoral observers in Venezuela, many of whom spoke with MintPress News.

“I don’t agree with Marco Rubio,” said Wyatt Souers, a representative of the International People’s Assembly, explaining that:

“The U.S. has tried to destabilize and undermine the legitimacy of basically every Venezuelan election in recent memory. Ahead of the election, they always put out statements and media pieces, declaring the election a fraud before it even happens. But what we have witnessed this week is tons of support for the Maduro government amongst the people here.”

Souers visited several polling stations in the Caracas area and noted that turnout was “massive”, with hundreds of people inside the voting stations at any given time.

“We got to go in and see the voting process. Everything was happening according to protocol. And so, I would say it seems like these elections are legitimate, and we fully support the right of the Venezuelan people to determine their own future.”

Roger D. Harris, an observer from Task Force on the Americas, spent the day observing electoral centers in Miranda State. He and others told MintPress that opposition supporters were perfectly happy to publicly announce their allegiances and express their grievances with the government. Despite their opposition to socialism, most retained confidence in the electoral system...."

of course, one must recognise the dead hand of the WarParty apparatchiks in all this...

perish the thought that poor people would vote for a party that represents their interests..

"...Imperialism has attempted to kidnap and assassinate the Venezuelan leadership and imposed a brutal sanctions regime that has devastated the economy, driven millions into poverty and exile and claimed countless lives—former UN Special Rapporteur Alfred de Zayas estimated over 100,000 excess deaths as of 2020, resulting from the cutoff of vital food and medical supplies.

Washington sponsored an abortive military coup that briefly ousted the late former president Hugo Chavez in 2002. It has spent millions of dollars in cultivating extreme right-wing forces like Machado and to organize violent campaigns to destabilize the government. In 2019, Washington declared as “interim president” Juan Guaidó, who had no popular support, and handed to his lackeys billions in state assets, including the gas company CITGO. And in 2020, former US military special forces operators and military contractors organized a fiasco of an invasion that was meant to overthrow the government and assassinate its leaders.

A revealing editorial published by the Washington Post in the immediate aftermath of the election concluded, “The United States and other democracies have invested heavily in a peaceful democratic transition for Venezuela. In that sense, this election is being stolen from them, too.” In other words, all of the money poured by the CIA and USAID into fostering a right-wing opposition and fomenting violence and regime-change must yield the desired results.

Who is the US to preach “democracy” to Venezuela?

Even as Washington and its proxy forces in Israel set the Middle East on fire, the Biden-Harris administration is exploiting Sunday’s presidential elections to foment a coup in Venezuela.
