“UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Monday that the global body would not join any initiatives to resolve the political crisis in Venezuela in order to remain neutral.”
And there was me thinking that facilitating peaceful resolutions was the purpose of the UN.
The United States brought peace to Haiti thru an invasion and there are still there with the sticks, raping women, and the drug traffic has increased drastically since they arrived. Some peoples are saying that Haiti is a poor country, but the Canadian and USA mining company are extracting gold and silver, and all rivers have been contaminated by the mining companies
I don’t think the goverment of Venezuela is going to accept the so called aid from the USA, there are rumors that the peoples that are going to distribute the aid are millitary personel and beside foods and others personal necesities they might bring weapons for the opposition. It is considered as a Troyan Horse
Media Lens on the biased reporting
Part 1
“…corporate media, in fact, do not care about free elections in Venezuela…”

The United States is sending food and medical supplies to Colombia’s border with Venezuela where it will be stockpiled until it can be delivered
Venezuelan soldiers have blocked a bridge on the border with Colombia ahead of a shipment of humanitarian aid. Military officers used a tanker truck and a cargo container to block access to the Tienditas bridge.
On the issue of humanitarian aid, the greatest need is for those refugees who are now in neighbouring countries
UNHCR requires an initial US$134 million in 2019 to continue responding to the most urgent needs of refugees and migrants from Venezuela in 16 host countries most affected
In several countries which are part of the so called Lima Group the Venezuelan refugees are being attacked by the population of those countries, and they are being asked to leave the country, the USA and Donald Trump is not the only xenophobic, in Brasil and Mexico they are doing the same things, and there are many Neo-McCarthyists emerging in those countries. Those peoples need more aids than the peoples inside Venezuela, but the aid is being used as a propaganda tool
The Venezuelan soldiers also confiscated a big shipment of weapons that was sent from the USA to be used by the oppposition.
The oil from Venezuela is going to be re-routed toward Russia and China, and the USA can not block the oil tankers from Russia and China, it might be consider as an act of war
Venezuela’s opposition on Wednesday said it would use a U.S.-based fund to receive some of the country’s oil income in a key step to bankroll its efforts to dislodge Maduro.
The fund would receive income accrued by state-run oil firm PDVSA’s U.S. unit Citgo Petroleum Corp since last month, when U.S. President Donald Trump recognised Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s legitimate head of state.
I wonder how much will be devoted to aid rather than PR payments

Does Guaido have the backing of the world governments? only 25%
Infograms: How Much International Support Does Guaido Really Have?
Most peoples only talk about oil or petroleum in Venezuela, it is more than that, The Orinoco Belts and its sorrounding deposits ( La Faja Petrolifera del Orinoco ) is composed of large amount of: Gold, Uranium, Lithum, Coltan, Nickel, Aquifers, Iron, Silver, bauxite, coal, natural gas, alluvials soil, and diamonds. It is a complete package of raw materials seating in one place., and large deposit of petroleum bigger than Saudi Araba, Iraq and Iran. The whole east coast of Latin America has large deposit of lithium and coltan needed to manufacture electronics equipment. Any capitalist group would salivate to possess all those wealth, and specially the USA and Canada will not let China or Russia to take possession of them
Scare-mongering
“Hezbollah is active in Venezuela, the US secretary of state has said, as the Trump administration ratchets up pressure on the Latin American nation amid a crippling political and economic crisis.
“People don’t recognise that Hezbollah has active cells” in the country, Mike Pompeo told Fox Business. “The Iranians are impacting the people of Venezuela and throughout South America. We have an obligation to take down that risk for America.”Meanwhile, Guaido signalled that if he gains power he will open up Venezuela’s huge oil wealth to foreign investment.
Outside private companies could gain a greater stake in joint ventures with the country’s state-run oil company, his envoy to the US said.The quarantine of Venezuela continues.
Travel websites like Expedia and Orbitz have stopped selling airline tickets for Venezuela.
“Once governmental advice reaches a certain level of travel concern, we take action to close off destinations on our sites,” Expedia spokeswoman Sarah Gavin told The Associated Press. “This ‘stop sell’ will remain in effect until the situation in Venezuela improves and travel advice changes.”

Canada role in the Venezuela coup
An interesting perspective from Greg Palast Part 1

Another king-maker
Ricardo Hausmann is the director for the Center of International Development at Harvard University.
A year ago, Hausmann posted on his own blog a solution that asks the National Assembly to impeach Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. His expert suggestion is that “the Assembly could constitutionally appoint a new government, which in turn could request military assistance from a coalition of the willing, including Latin American, North American, and European countries.”
Hausmann openly compares his plan to the U.S. “liberating” Panama in 1989.
In 2014, when Maduro arrested López for inciting violence in Caracas, Hausmann got Harvard University to give him an honorary degree from the prestigious institution
