Venezuela presents evidence against Juan Guaidó for Operation Gideon Caracas, May 18 (RHC)-- The Venezuelan government has released another document that proves the link between right-wing leader Juan Guaidó and the armed incursion of May 3rd, which was intended to attack President Nicolás Maduro. Five days before this armed incursion was carried out, the legal firm Volk Law, located in the U.S. state of Florida, sent a letter to Guaidó for the overdue payment of 1.5 million dollars owed to the company Silvercorp USA for the contract signed between the leader and the general manager of the company, Jordan Goudreau, to execute, among other violent plans, the assassination of President Maduro. In the letter, sent on April 28th, the law firm details that the commitment assumed with Silvercorp USA, contemplated "an initial payment of 1.5 million dollars within five days after the signing of the General Services Agreement, on October 16, 2019," whose retention corresponds to the previous evaluation of the service provider and the administrative fees. In addition to Guaidó, the letter is addressed to other signatories of the contract such as Juan José Rendón, Sergio Vergara and Manuel Retureta. It was also sent to Carlos Vecchio and Fernando Blasi. After the raid last May 3rd, Goudreau claimed credit for the action -called Operation Gideon- and revealed the contract, accusing Guaidó of not complying with the commitments made to his company. It is known that the DEA, officially an agency to combat drug trafficking, is in fact an agency used by the United States to administer drug trafficking, which in turn finances CIA operations. In an interview given at the time to an international media outlet, J.J. Rendón confirmed that the paramilitary incursion on the Venezuelan coast had terrorist objectives, while saying that Juan Guaidó knew the purpose of the contract he signed. Another objective of the operation, coordinated from Colombia by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), was to continue the plundering of the country's assets, as well as to seize Venezuela's oil, gold and other natural resources. https://www.radiohc.cu/en/noticias/internacionales/223016-venezuela-presents-evidence-against-juan- guaido-for-operation-gideon Radio Habana Cuba.

REVISTA DE CIENCIA POLÍTICA / VOLUMEN 41 / N° 2 / 2021 / 425-447 VENEZUELA: AUTOCRATIC CONSOLIDATION AND SPLINTERED ECONOMIC LIBERALIZATION*1 Venezuela: consolidación autocrática y liberalización económica fragmentada ANTULIO ROSALES CienciaArtículos University of New Brunswick, Canada Política MARYHEN JIMÉNEZ University of Oxford, United Kingdom ABSTRACT In 2020, Venezuela has gone through a process of autocratic consolidation. This con- solidation has taken place amid substantial economic reforms that have allowed the government of Nicolás Maduro survive sustained international and domestic pressure. In this article, we analyze this process of autocratic consolidation. We ex- plain how, by focusing on the establishment of an “interim-government” in 2019, the Venezuelan opposition has been unable to coordinate an inclusive strategy to successfully bring about a democratic breakthrough and instead became further divided. We address the economic transformations witnessed in the country as policies of fragmented liberalization through opaque privatizations and an uneven multi-currency system, which have resulted from a deep recession, the collapse of the oil economy and sanctions. Finally, we discuss the implications of these poli- tical and economic processes for the social fabric of the country. We highlight that despite the government’s attempts at criminalizing autonomous activism, the re- lative strengths of civil society allowed the survival of minimal democratic spaces that have spurred dialogue and resistance. Keywords: autocracy, Nicolás Maduro, opposition, liberalization, Venezuela. RESUMEN En 2020, Venezuela pasó por un proceso de consolidación autocrática. Esta consolidación ha ocurrido en medio de reformas económicas sustanciales que han permitido al gobierno de Nicolás Maduro subsistir a la presión nacional e internacional. En este artículo analizamos el proceso de consolidación autocrática que se ha concretado en el último año.

Guaido Was the ‘Commander in Chief’ of the Failed Mercenary Operation Against Venezuela Documents show Guaido's role in the recent mercenary operation aimed at kidnapping President Nicolas Maduro, writes Patricio Zamorano. By Patricio Zamorano Region: Latin America & Caribbean, USA Global Research, May 18, 2020 Theme: Intelligence, Media Disinformation, Venezuelanalysis.com 13 May 2020 US NATO War Agenda New information divulged this week reveals thatJuan Guaidó was designated as “commander and chief” of the mercenary operation that completely unraveled on the shores of Venezuela. The 41 page contract that formed the basis of the already known eight page General Services Agreement was published by the Washington Post[1] this week. This more complete document conﬁrms what the mercenary and head of SilverCorp, Inc., Jordan Goudreau, had already revealed to the media: the agreement was aimed at “planning and executing an operation to capture/detain/remove Nicolas Maduro (heretoafter “Primary Objective”) remove the current Regime and install the recognized Venezuelan President Juan Guaido.” The document provides complete information about the money that would be invested (212 million dollars), and the payments and commissions that SilverCorp would receive from Guaidó’s team, which includes Juan José Rendón, Sergio Vergaraand attorney Manuel Retureta. | 1 The document also explains the promised retainer of 1.5 million dollars that Goudreau has been complaining about publicly since the failed operation last Sunday, May 3. What has not been said: information about the operation was published two days before the attack There is an important detail that the world press has not analysed. OneAP article[2] which details the preparations for the attack was published Friday May 1, two days before the attempt to invade Venezuela was launched from Colombia.

The recent attempt by United States mercenaries to land in Venezuela and overthrow President Nicolas Maduro – Operation Gideon – may be “straight out of Hollywood” but it would be a mistake to assume the director and producers of this failed plot were working on their own. The Trump administration, working through the US military’s Southern Command (SouthCom) has been preparing to facilitate attempts to go after Maduro for some time now. This is evident from the following events and public statements.

INTRODUCTION 1. On May 28, 2020, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (“the Inter-American Commission,” “the Commission,” or “the IACHR”) received a request for precautionary measures filed by Alfredo Romero, Gonzalo Himiob and Julio Henríquez from the organization “Foro Penal” (“the applicants”), urging the Commission to request that the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (“the State” or “Venezuela”) protect the rights of Leonardo David Chirinos Parra (“the proposed beneficiary”), who was reportedly deprived of his liberty in April 2020 by state actors, and who was allegedly subject to torture. According to the request, his whereabouts or location to date are unknown. 2. The IACHR requested information on May 29, 2020, in accordance with Articles 25.5 of its Rules of Procedure and XIII of the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons.

Spy Drama, Foiled Venezuela Coup
Woman with Florida ties tangled up in spy-vs.-spy drama, foiled Venezuela coup BY ANTONIO MARÍA DELGADO, KEVIN G. HALL, AND SHIRSHO DASGUPTA DECEMBER 14, 2020 08:30 AM, UPDATED DECEMBER 18, 2020 02:48 PM URL: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/article247781875.html The Maduro regime in Venezuela wants her extradited to face justice for a failed coup hatched in South Florida. The Colombian government accuses her of being in cahoots with narcoterrorists and her family describes Yacsy Alexandra Álvarez Mirabel as a nerdy marketing specialist caught up in events much larger than she ever could have imagined. Álvarez is a mysterious, little-known player in the coup attempt, led by former U.S. special operations soldier Jordan Goudreau and his Florida security company Silvercorp USA, that sought to topple Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro. Confounding details of the escapade are just now trickling out, months after it failed, leaving two ex-U.S. soldiers captured and jailed in Venezuela. Álvarez, who owned a modest condo in Tampa and incorporated a company there in April 2017, gave an exclusive telephone interview from her jail in Colombia, proclaiming her innocence. “I am not a terrorist. I don’t have anything to do with weapons, nor with military people. I am a humanist. I believe in human beings. I believe very much in God,” she said. In video messages made months before her arrest in Colombia and obtained exclusively by the Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald and their parent McClatchy, Álvarez insisted the Colombian government knew of the planned May coup, known as Operation Gideon.

RECIENTEMENTE Venezuela fue objeto de un conjunto de intentos de pene- tración mercenaria en su territorio. Según investigaciones conducidas por las autoridades del Gobierno Nacional, varias células armadas compuestas por mercenarios y exmilitares venezola- nos y extranjeros pretendían agruparse en suelo venezolano para organizar y ejecutar1 acciones terroristas, incluyendo atentados a autoridades del Estado y dirigentes del chavismo, y a su vez coordinar una sedición en las Fuerza Ar- mada Nacional Bolivariana (FANB). La denominada “Operación Gedeón” es de hecho, resultado de otros eventos y causas críticas que han amenazado la paz de la República. Esta última ope- ración es resultado de un proceso evolutivo que impulsa el desarrollo de una guerra en el país y de un ciclo de inestabilidad planificada prolongada. 2 OPERACIONES MERCENARIAS CONTRA VENEZUELA.
