U.S. and Israel's Role in Venezuela Crisis
The U.S. and Israel are using humanitarian aid to Venezuela as a Trojan horse to further entrench
their military, intelligence, and political interests in the country. Nearly 70,000 people
in Venezuela remain missing under the rubble after two massive earthquakes last week,
as the death toll already reaches nearly 2,000. The impact of the earthquakes undoubtedly would
have been less severe had Venezuela not been under decades of U.S. sanctions and economic
warfare, leaving buildings dilapidated, infrastructure weakened, and rescue teams
unequipped, resulting in first responders searching for bodies under the rubble with
borrowed cell phone flashlights. Now the U.S. and its allies are exploiting the devastation
to consolidate their control after abducting President Nicolás Maduro in January. While
Venezuelans dug through the rubble themselves, the Trump administration sent warships, transport
planes, troops, and took over airport operations, creating a humanitarian excuse to deploy assets
enabling a long-term foothold and effective occupation, with Marco Rubio claiming we'll
have to rely on the Department of War to deploy assets for relief efforts because the airport
there is badly damaged. And the U.S. are not the only ones taking advantage of Venezuela's
crisis to get a foothold in the country. The Syrian White Helmets, now embedded in the HTS
regime, quickly flew to Venezuela, marking their first ever overseas deployment. Established in
2013, the White Helmets portrayed themselves as a humanitarian group but in reality were
established by Western intelligence, embedded in Western-backed terrorist groups like Al-Qaida,
and staged atrocity propaganda to build support for the U.S.-led war on Syria and eventual regime
change. The Israeli occupation forces are also sending a rescue team, despite having no formal
diplomatic relations with Venezuela since 2009, and many question their ulterior motives like
rescue-washing their international public image as they continue to
committing genocide and entrenching their influence in Latin America.
The Trojan horse method of using a crisis as a pretext for military intervention and
occupation is nothing new in the U.S. playbook.
They did the same after Haiti's 2010 earthquake.
Then-Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who sent over $1 billion in aid to Haiti while
asking for nothing in return, said,
I read that 3,000 soldiers are arriving, Marines armed as if they are going to war.
Doctors, medicine, fuel, field hospitals, that's what the United States should send.
They are occupying Haiti undercover.
On top of that, you don't see them in the streets.
Are they picking up bodies?
Are they looking for the injured?
You don't see them.
I haven't seen them.
Where are they?
