Caracas Mayor Part of US Coup Plot
Caracas Mayor Part of US Coup Plot

Washington spent 16 years unsuccessfully trying to topple Venezuela's model democracy.
On February 19, London's Guardian published an edited Venezuela Solidarity Campaign statement on its coup plot signed by 70 distinguished figures - including John Pilger and George Galloway.
The unedited version says:
"We the undersigned note with grave concern the announcement of the discovery of a plot to overthrow President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela in a coup on Thursday February 12."
"Government officials have said the plans included violent attacks on the presidential palace and other government buildings."

US post-WW II history alone reflects dozens of successful and failed coup attempts, political assassinations, and wars of aggression to topple independent foreign governments.
Psaki's Big Lies consistently ignore clear US rogue state history - including what's ongoing now in Venezuela, Ukraine, the Middle East and elsewhere.
No nation in world history has a more blood-drenched record. US policies threaten world peace.
Obama administration neocons stop at nothing to achieve their imperial objectives - including replacing Venezuelan democracy with fascist rule.
TeleSUR said Caracas Mayor Antonio Ledezma (aka "the vampire"
was arrested for plotting with Washington against President Nicolas Maduro.
Venezuela authorities charged him with sedition and conspiracy involvement in the foiled plot revealed days earlier.
He co-wrote a so-called "transition (coup) plan" with Washington favorites/fascist figures Leopoldo Lopez and Maria Corina Machado.
Constitutional lawyer Jesus Silva called it "a putschist act of conspiracy that is unfortunately to the liking of thousands of opposition militants who have been indoctrinated to attack democracy."
According to TeleSUR, "young opposition activist" Lorent Saleh involved in organizing violent street protests named Ledezma last August as a coup plotter.
