You are missing so much information that it's embarrassing. What is your source for your information on Latin America? What books have you read? What books on the politics and history of Latin America have you read? *Young men! Stop getting information from uninformed folks who are out of their knowledge sphere*
Man can you imagine if there was a contested election in the US and members of the opposition were rounded up and charged with terrorism and insurrection. Man that would be crazy especially if a bunch of them were charged for tweets and phone calls......
Want to hear a real ad about PIA? In Bangladesh, a couple days ago. During the revolution and protests, the government shut off facebook and messenger. ,The only proper way I was able to communicate with my brother who is in another country was by using PIA. My brother shared his password for a account, now me and all the devices of my parents have PIA in them. Yeah. Legit.
From experience when there were riots in Kazakhstan few years ago , and the government shut down the Internet to the outside world, the only way in was using a VPN...so , yeah
As a venezuelan this video is fair and well researched good for you, in the country we are in a point that we loss the will of pacific change, i hope that the change come soon
Soy Español pero tengo amigos Venezolanos aquí y se me parte el alma hablando con ellos. El día de las elecciones realmente pensé que podría cambiar algo, no me dormí hasta que el régimen anunció su "victoria" sobre mas 6:00am de acá. En ese momentó me desilusioné pero la fortaleza que estáis mostrando, aun con todas las atrocidades de las que la dictadura es capaz, realmente me la devuelve. Ojalá poder algún día visitar una Venezuela libre, próspera y con un pueblo dueño de su destino. Un abrazo enorme y muchísima fuerza hermano.
Unfortunately it becomes extremely difficult if not impossible for people to counter a government without guns or rights from an indifferent government
@@Skelator_SikelatorThe current US administration would do that, they need a win before they go. Harris might want to help, idk if Trump would do it, although he already backed Guaido
As a Vietnamese armorer, every military have weapon depot scattered everywhere, police station is the easiest source in a city. Military cache can be raided for more arms, military unit can be convince to defect and join the revolution, foreign arms from outside can be funnel in..etc there always a source for arms. Considering how unpopular it have gotten for alot of people, it will be hard for to stop a revolution from taking over in Venezuela. Myanmar lasted because they have people who till get fed and well off under the junta, Venezuela barely do.
It's always interesting to see these dictators that have so much ego, but no pride in their country. Who the hell wants their legacy to be an utter sh*tshow.
Ummm, to answer your question: people who have been raised by parties (i.e. military/government/foreign); almost from birth, they get mindnumbingly brain -washed- fucked. the said party will raise the child as if they were raising a husk of a human body that has to be filled with ego, reminding that they are the ones who wants his good side and every single person including their parents/friends/wife/child and the humankind are all bad people and are worthless and always think of bad things about him. Literally met someone who discussed these situation that he was forced to go through and had to take mental scars that damaged him for life, until someone found him a way out of the hell hole
That is the problem, they dont care, not only dictators, all elitist and rich, they dont give a crap, how they left the place, do you think they care, look the state of europe, of Cuba, of Venezuela, or areas of the own US, they dont care, no elitist or one that thing he knows better care
My gf is Colombian and she was watching the elections and was really excited. I texted her back “election” And told it was rigged for maduro. LaTam elections are so predictable
I have an aunt that moved to Venezuela in the 80s and married a mayor of a town and they were well off. Funny thing is they're part of the government ad her daughter is a lawyer for the government and they left Venezuela but went back because the husband couldn't come. Another cousin was telling me how they hope for a change but i told her straight up its rigged and most Venezuelans that could help the oposition have left and the ones that wont leave are for the government

@@aquilesca5tr0 Okay but the Esequibo is historically a Venezuelan region 💀. The whole deal about that was rigged, and that's a well known historical fact.
I've been following this for a while and I have to say this is the most comprehensive dive into Maduro's Venezuela I've seen. There are things in here I didn't even know about, even as someone that has been to Venezuela just this year and speaks to Venezuelans daily. I mean I was hearing about updates to the election and Maduro's response hours, even a day before any news outlet was talking about said things
Reminds me alot of China when WoW came out. I knee tons of MMO players who hired Chinese gold farmers or even hiring people to grind for them. Exchange rates and purchasing power were so crazy they could make a lower to middle class income playing computer games for bored western teenagers
I personally think Machado is not good for Venezuela, at all That bejng said I can't believe there's people out there thinking maduro is the good guy and all this is American propaganda...
Excellent video. I will only mention a few details that are wrong: • Guaidó was not a presidential candidate. He was the president of the Legislative Branch. His consideration as Interim President was due to the fact that, as such, he is the constitutional successor to be Interim President when the president and his vice president are unfit for the position. • In 2019, Maduro ran in the elections almost as a single candidate. The opposition parties were completely blocked and only "cardboard candidates" could stand. What we call here "Scorpions" (members of the opposition with businesses and ties with Maduro). • What in 2019 made Guaidó proclaim himself as President in Charge, was that the constitution calls for the president to appear on January 3 before the legislative branch to present State of the Nation Address and in election years, be sworn in. Maduro decided to ignore this and go to his Constituent Assembly. Leaving him in contempt of the constitution. • In 2024, support for María Corina Machado was not so unitary. The Venezuelan opposition parties are very "old-fashioned" social groups of cronies who even have personal histories and ties with Chavismo. Political enemies, but who, in the end, are quite close. That is why the persecution of opposition (Leader) focuses on younger members or relatively new parties. • María Corina in her history as a politician was despised by the old elite of the opposition for being very, "radical" (she called Chávez, for example, a thief to his face). This is because "it broke with the ecosystem." Apart from all this, the old opposition feared the figure of Chavez and is currently still trying to maintain bridges with Chavismo. • Maria Corina won the leadership because of the primaries, not with the favor of the old parties, but in spite of them. And they even tried to sabotage her. But in the end, María Corina prevailed as the victor, with 92% in the opposition primaries and unifying the old opposition parties, basically under penalty of political death. As happened with the former primary candidate Carlos Posperi, who came in second place, and did not want the leadership of Maria Corina, ended up declaring himself a Chavista and campaigning for Maduro. • Maduro really believed he would win. Not only because of the pressure against Maria, but in truth he believed that, with the "minimal" economic improvement and a revitalization of his image on social, he was going to boost a vote in his favor. His own ego prevented him from seeing the obvious. They lost by 35 points. • Finally: They were not polls outside the polling stations. In Venezuelan elections, the candidate parties have the right to have witnesses inside the voting centers, one for each table/machine if they want, and at the end of the day, the voting machine of that center, issues a record of the vote counts... How many people voted, how many for "x", how many for "y". Every witness is entitled to a copy of this record (signed by the present members of the CNE and by the witnesses of the other parties). What Maria Corina did was to set up the social operation of having witnesses in each and every one of the voting tables, and with the help of the military (who assist the voting as logistical), scan and send those record to a centralized point, where they were published. That is, the results that were made public are not the products of a survey, but of the electoral system itself. That is why when the international community asks for "Results", it is asking the CNE to release the record that they also have, and compare them with those collected by the opposition logistics.
"In 2024, support for María Corina Machado was not so unitary." If the old opposition leaders can muster up 8% of the vote combined, we can call the support pretty unitary.
@@thearpox7873 I was referring more to the support of the traditional opposition leadership. Popular support is more complicated. Actually, it wasn't that it was surprising, but it was abrupt. The opposition primaries were held in two "states of mind" The traditional opposition knew that the population was discouraged in its traditional leadership (protecting bridges and concluding the conflict with negotiations). That was what happened in 2014 with the protests, and in 2019. This "idea of betrayal" was felt. But, the traditional opposition had the operational logistics to support a campaign. So many believed that this traditional opposition would win, not because of the support, but because they were the only ones capable of carrying out a campaign. Well, the logistics machinery failed and Maria Corina won, to the surprise of everyone, except obviously the population and herself. Again, like Chavismo... Their own ego does not let them see what is obvious. But the good news, these parties have already united under the leadership of MCM
@@JMTgpro I appreciate the additional details, but it really does sound like the old opposition were relegated to bunch of irrelevant has-beens on the fringes, and the video missed little from their omission. Getting the support of their logistics infrastructure was nice, but it sound like Maria was doing fine even without it, and again, it can't have been that impressive if it only got 8% in the primaries even taking into account the feelings of betrayal.
@@thearpox7873 That statement is somewhat presentist. The traditional opposition elite were the ones who won the 2015 parliamentary elections and dominated the opposition will. They approached the primaries thinking that they still had the strength that made them win 2/3 of the legislative representatives. In fact, they looked down on Maria Corina, since her last candidacy, being the 2013 primaries, obtained popular support of 4% if I remember correctly. And since then she remained present in speech, but not as a leader. But the population's desire for renewed leadership, and outside of the old elites considered as "traitors" surprised them that day. But luckily, today, those old elites remain with MCM
And with those final words of this video, are so true (and has been seen so much throughout history’s major civil conflicts) how much can a human be pushed until he/she snaps…… regardless of how things go, I wish the Venezuelans Godspeed in their eventual march for liberty and freedom
It's the army that ultimately decides if a revolution is allowed to happen. ...and my bet is on a junta forming before any kind of democratic revolution.
@@terranceaddison4599 There's no plan. The oposicion to Maduro basically has the same plan as always. Either Maduro randomly decides to step down, or the US invades Venezuela.
I don't want to be an assh0le but... He said "Khyugo", not even close to proper Hugo, which shouldn't be that difficult for an English speaker. Still better than the video on Bolivia I guess
@@armintargaryen9216 i dont know if he did it on purpose but a ton of UA-cam channels do that on purpose. Horribly mispronounce some word or use some weird pronunciation (like the Philly pronunciation of "wooder" instead of "water") because then a ton of people all comment to either complain or correct which drives up engagement making the video do better in the UA-cam algorithm. That's also a reason why some people having chirping smoke detectors in their videos, the complaints make the videos do better.
I hope to be proven wrong, but I don't think anything will happen. Venezuelans might be at their breaking point, but those 8 million that left the country were probably their best and brightest, whilst those that remain are the weakest and most drained. So far it's only been those inside Vzla that have tried to get Mamaduro out if power, but I think that the effort will only be successful once those trapped in that nightmare get help from those that escaped.
Those who say that America is Satan are brain-dead communists that surely live with luxury while the rest of people are the ones who have to leave their country crying because they are forced to, and most of them don't say that thing about America. Also, some of those braindead communists who say that America is Satan ironically live in places like Miami, or enjoy and support the capitalism and imperialism they supposedly hate so much.
Thank you for finally making a video about the current situation, I really appreciate it! Two corrections about what you said: 1st. Guaidó didn't manage to do anything because he wasn't really interested in doing so, he had a lot of resources given to him mainly from the US and ended up stealing them instead of building an actual counter-government or anything. 2nd. María Corina Machado and company didn't make "independent voting ballots" nor "independent polling stations" (it was done as backup strategy, yes, as for the same gvt. repression it's not easy to convince everyone to say openly who they voted for). The main strategy was to get the vote counts from the actual voting machines all around the country, which give a receipt stating the number of votes of that machine for all candidates running, for each party even. Some government officials and military representatives tried to stop that but as it is completely legal it wasn't easy to do so without getting themselves into problems. It is even stated that the officials running the machines, when they close the polling station, have to say out loud the total number of votes of their stations, which in many cases were video recorded... These "recepits" were then given to MCM's party and then her team organized what they could gather, around 83% of the total polling stations' receipts, on a page which was open to the public.
I was about to comment this. You're absolutely right, Maria Corina didnt set up an "alternate" voting ballot. She used the receipts of the voting machines (managed by the goverment of course) which are signed by opposition and regime witnesses, and uploaded those results (City by city, state by state, incredibly granular) to a publicly available webpage within hours of the election happening. Meanwhile the goverment electoral power hasnt even published the results yet.
Just one thing my friend, the oposition didint ask outside of the voting center, in venezuela the machine print copies of the result on each voting center "actas".
Oil goes to $140/barrel Venezuela spends like oil is $140/barrel Oil goes to $40/barrel Venezuela spends like oil is $140/barrel All repercussions the fault of America & internal opposition.
Thank you for covering the issues in Venezuela 🙏 but there are a couple of mistakes in the video, there weren't ''independent polling stations'', the voting machines after all votes are casted print somenthing called an ''acta'', and this ''actas'' are signed and supervised by witnesses from every political party participating and get a copy , this ''acta'' revelas the amount of votes for each candidate/political party have and they are usually published for auditing after elections, each acta with QR codes and serial numbers to prove it's authenticity. What Maria Corina did was make sure that they could gather their copies of the actas from their witnesses (many of which they couldn’t gather because goverment intervention) and tabulate them and publish them so that international auditors could count them properly to verify the results for themselves without the CNE (they gathered enough to prove their win in the election). And both the CNE the Goverment refuses to show their ''actas'' to corroborate the result they declared, thats why even their polical allies don't recognize the results declared by the CNE
27:30 was more complicated than that. At the end of the elections the server sends the result to the different machines... those were the data that are uploaded to the database. The military were instructed to prevent the opposition from having access to the results, but they gave in to the will of the people
10:18 as someone that was there, this isn’t technically true, Guado never won any elections, so because that election happened without the approval of opposition controlled assembly, the opposition didn’t recognize it, so they declared that no election was held and appointed Guaidó, the president of the assembly at the time as acting president It’s a minor correction but just wanted to clarify that Guaidó was never elected
Marvelous summary!!! Caracan here, born in 97', voed in 2015, returned to vote the 28th of July, I live in Colombia since 2016 (Uni), and as a person that was born and raised in Venezuela its amazing when people cover the dictatorship in my country as is, not whitewashing it because its about a certain ideology; just covering the facts! Stakuyi, from the bottom of my three coloured heart thank you!!! VIVA VENEZUELA LIBRE!!!
Thanks for bringing attention to this mess. I'm 29yo, so i have lived all my conscious life under this regime, the hopelessness is overbearing, but the scorching rage that burns inside me is unbearable and sends me down dark paths of thought every time the political situation comes up. Having gotten my history degree after 10 years in college (4 worth of studying, plus 6 more between the pandemic, strikes and waves of protests) just serves to give me a framework to rage even harder.
We won't. Nobody wants another Iraq. Peope forget that Saddam was pretty much a Maduro/Chavez: highly unpopular dictator with a laundry list of human rights abuses and hated by much of the world.
We have our own societal, economic, and political problems from a side that wishes to restructure our morals and country to worry about. Nonetheless, I hope for the Venezuelan people to do what is necessary to obtain what they need..... and for all other countries to be willing to do what is necessary to save their countries as well.
@@dr1742 not as bad as you'd think. We saved Kuwait, the USSRs oil industry was started by American investors and experts, we helped liberate Romania, we helped liberate Indonesia and Brunei, and helped to protect Australia. Not sure if it's a good thing but the US also helped Saudi arabia and Egypt out quite a bit as well as Pakistan and, for a time at least, helped out Iran. Look at most oil rich countries and you'll see that even some state owned oil companies were started with American help. The US also helped rebuild iraqs oil industry which was lagging due to saddams incompetence, and that's where American oil companies made money in Iraq: tax payers paid a FORTUNE to those companies to rebuild Iraqs infrastructure and both the oil fields and much of the infrastructure was always state owned, the US never controlled any of it.
FYI, man-in-the-middle attacks are essentially impossible nowadays, due to virtually every modern website/app using the Transport Layer Security protocol, you don't need a VPN for that. VPNs are mainly useful for hiding your IP address from malicious websites (or to access restricted features), not hiding what you are doing in that website from third parties.
For context, TLS utilizes the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman algorithm to securely exchange keys over insecure channels (like public wifi), and then utilizes those keys to secure its own traffic.
@@nepnep1057 Until the AP pretends to be the actual website to you and pretends to be you to the actual website. Which is much easier for an attacker to set up when an AP isn't using any sort of encryption - much easier to hijack traffic that way, by pretending to be the actual AP the user connected to.
@@PhysicsGamer Remember that TLS uses certificates, your device verifies that the certificate sent by the website (which would be the attacker in your example) is signed by a trusted CA (a list of which is also kept locally) and allowed to represent the specific domain. Your browser would just tell you the certificate being sent by the attacker isn't what it expects.
Hello Venezuelan here, i want to tell some info about Chavez that people might not know. When Chavez became president the very first change he made was making some changes to the national constitution. 1-change the president period from 4 to 6 years 2-the president can be re-elect indefinitely (meaning he can be in charge forever)
Excellent work! When you provide percentages, could you also provide the values? Those percentages sound like a lot, but it could be a change from $1 to $1.60, for instance. Especially when we're talking about a country that subsidizes things.
@@23tovarm5the new president bought votes, is a convicted money launderer, he want the government to control all media, he's a big fan of China and Russia, he uses racist and populist rhetoric, and he's got a wrap sheet of scandals a mile long.
Mexico is closer to that: they have more elements of a fascist country/population, there's no real opposition for the ruling party which is hugely popular and it does not look like it'll go out of power for the next 12 years at least. Ah, not to mention the newly elected president literally invited Putin, you know, the fascist guy from fascist Russia, to attend her ceremony.
I’m half Venezuelan and my mom is full (we live in the us), and she was born and raised in Caracas. And every day she always talks about how sad it is to see her home being destroyed and so many innocent people being slaughtered just because they want their human rights :(
1) Praise socialism 2) Implement it in a country 3) Watch as it fails miserably for the "whateverth" time in history 4) Claim that: 4.1) said country was not socialist after all; 4.2) socialism wasn't properly applied there; 4.3) it was ruined by some imperialist embargo; 4.4) All of the above. 5) Rinse and repeat...
@R.S.R.S yes. This is the end result of socialism. Planned economies end up going directly into authoritarianism in short order. Or as my father used to tell me, "The government that can give you everything you want, can take away everything you have."
I understand that my country is nowhere near Venezuela's issues, but the whole "bring your own supplies and food" as a patient is just so relatable to me.
All these things are policies of politicians here in the US. Price controls? Socialized medicine? The only difference is we act like we can just print more money indefinitely to pay for it.
Venezuelans have a long history. So we are able to listen to each other, to talk to each other. From here were born the liberators of the region, and they said before and after that process we have a culture of political action. We are not in despair. That's the image broadcast to abroad. -Nicolas Maduro
27:25 Independent polling was not the only way the opposition was able to determine they won. see the Smartmatic voting machines print out a physical tally of all the votes casted in said machine for each "voting table" (each voting center may have multiple voting tables with each having a voting machine exclusive for that table) and for each candidate. these are called "Actas de votacion" these "actas" then have to be reviewed by the voting table members designated by the CNE. and then each party's representative can have a physical copy of the "acta" so what opposition leader Maria Corina and her party were able to do was organize and train thousands of people in other to retrieve said "actas de votacion" across the country, digitize them and the publish them online for everyone to see. basically doing the CNE's job for them since as of today the CNE hasn't pusblised official any results table by table, center by center, candidate by candidate. they just went on a stage and said. Yup maduro won with 52% (exactly 52% wich is numerically imposible) they later tried to fix that but forgot to adjust the number of null votes was also a round %.
Great video, as always, just a small correction, the opposition didn't know they won because of exit polls outside the voting stations. In fact exit polls have been outlawed in venezuela since the times of Chavez. But instead they had certified observers within almost all of the voting centers. In venezuela when a voting center closes it prints an account of all the votes (just the totals not who voted for whom). The opposition used their observers and scanned almost all of the prints which serve as an account of the ballots and even creates a web page which allows verification. That's how we know the opposition won by a landslide.
The vote is electronic. The electronic count showed 51% maduro. You're lying about the opposition counting from the majority of polling places. The opposition bases its lies on polls and a sampling of some of the polling places.
@diegoflores9237 ok, show the ballots. The opposition has them public. Why can't the government show them? Why was no independent auditor or observer allowed? why has no independent auditor been allowed to verify the results?. It was fraud, evident and flagrant.
@diegoflores9237 ok then show the ballots. The opposition has made them public and available for anyone to verify. Why can't the government show the ballots? Why were so many foreign observers prohibited entrance to the country and even expelled the day of the election? Why can't independent auditors verify the results? How come the result as they announced it was perfect with 2 decimals followed by six zeroes on all candidates which would be mathematicaly impossible? Do you justify the repression? The 2000+ detained protestors?
@@diegoflores9237 83.50% of polling places is not "some of them" ITS THE BIG MAJORITY. The electronic count showed 51% maduro. Right. Thing is, the electronic one has to produce the fucking receipt so every candidate can verify the votes of each polling place with the copies they have from the voting centers to ensure there is not shady business going aorund, and they have 48 hours to present them. Its been more than 3 weeks already, no receipts. They just said trust me bro, proceeded to kill more than 20 people in protest, put behind bars more than 2000 protesters and opened 2 concentration centers for young people in order to put them under "re-education" and forced labor. Sincerely, fuck off, tankie. WE HAVE THE RECEIPTS YOU LIKE IT OR NOT :)
Leaders will break or make a nation. Its unfortunate A wealthy country like Venezuela in pooverty and Economic decline. Great report anf trust Venezuela will be liberated from oppression and captivity to experience economic prosperity and progress for all Suffering Venezuelans. My prayers are with Venezuela.
Could you talk more about brazil? Because Lula here always defend Venezuela was diferent but democratic regime, the Tribunal and military action of venezuela looks simikar to actionns taken after Luka wins last election, giving "proof" to opositiin argunents that the last election was fraudlent, as for the opsition looks like maduro is copying the actions of hes sucefuul neighbor. When the crisis started Lula stay wuiet for oblivious reasons but some politican of the left dint take the hint and start defend maduro,the oposition uses this to atack lula, for outsiders this seens strange, but brazilian left uses everyrhing bolsonaro aling politican says again bolsonaro itselfs, its kind ironic lula is tasting hes own medecine. Lula also have a problem to talk to mich and private and lots of leaked video of lula still giving suport of maduro on 8nternal party metings. Also globo, everyone know they auto-censure theyself for monye of any current brazilian regime, but a reasent scandal haooens when a major scandal involving the goverment all media spoked about, except globo and his principal rival sbt not only cover the scandal but also the globo silence about it. I buy diferent newspaper and my experience os that globe newspapaer avoid cover violent crims and goverment gafes and always put a positive ligth thaht everthing the goverment do, iclusive the constant new taxes, obs the political chargist of globo do charges saying lula is a hard working men, wtf? What king of political chargist dont make fun of goverment. Plus brazil have lots of tankie influencer that have a mental arnor that would make amatas blush, is sad see normal people here defending maduro reapt influencers talk point, but you know is brazilian tanks, they defend even pol pot so no surprises. Obs:I know bolsonora is not a saint but the current president in this crise is LULA
Sidenote: youtube ads are interesting. I watched a 15 minute tv show about Florida where the host fead crocodiles. Shucked oysters, and drove race tracks. It was a good pallet clens.
Indeed, i mean when Chavez come for the first time he said he will leave if they didnt want them, that he wont do any of these, and many scholars in Venezuela said these will happen and bingo, it happen, and he didnt leave, same in Cuba, and well, now, Venezuelan have a chance to kick them out and didnt choose, when they are literaly dying every day and they do not do anything for one side can you blame them for the other they dont do anything well, you are saying they dont care life, at least the ones that escape to other countrys they realise these is death
@sierracosta47 This is why I stopped voting democrat. Obama is the last democrat I voted for. That's it for me! I'm staying Republican across the board! Local and national. That party doesn't represent traditional American values anymore.
we have fougth and theyve killed us we ahd more than 100 casualties in the 2017, 23 in a week in this one, and there at least 2000 incarcerated, some in the army have rebeled but its not generalised and a couple battalions cant do much, some provinces have rebelled, but without being general they cant do much either, the army is in the payroll of the drug trade and extorsion and the goverment controls that, but i hope this time will be different, only time can tell
Because Maduro allow them to steal and plunder theyre own people, they dont care, the peoplel socialist dont see theyre own people as people, if you see or read Marx you realize for leftist, and socialist people are cogs in the machine, they can talk about the worker and that in reality they hate workers, they hate people in general they see themself above them. I remember a moment when things were really bad and they wanted to sen international aid to Venezuela and Maduro said no and police and military stop aid, aid for the people food, wated, medicine to arrive because he didnt want, and the police and military prefer the people to stave and die that acutaly loose the privilege to plunder theyre own people
An armed population always holds a silent or passive deterrent to government overreach. We have overreach here in the US and we are armed so imagine the reaching a government would pull knowing the entire territory has no weapons. The armed population never has to use these weapons, doesn't even have to think about using them, by the fact of their existence behavior is changed. I feel for any place for whom there are massive unarmed populations because even if it takes time the clamp is inevitable. I hope it changes for them soon down there. There, and many other places in a similar plight, stuck in inaction because there's no tools for the moment.
When are we getting a shirt that says "and so it was"? Wendigoon now has his catch phrase do with that what you will, time to make one with your catchphrase!
20:57 Yes. Dumpster fire knows no borders. There are regions in South Korea whose residents are not allowed to donate blood. These regions border the Korean DMZ, and therefore close in proximity to North Korea. Health officials decided there is a significant, unignorable risk of malaria contaminating the blood supply from this region, and that's why some of these regions are restricted from donating blood. Because public hygine in North Korea is just as good as its food situation.
27:20 That's very wrong. The machines that emitted the votes printed a total of the votings for that machine, and all observers had to have s copy by law. That's what was posted onñine, the machine totals.
i studied a masters degree in political science and i am pretty sure that when we studied dictatorships two thing were pretty clear: dictators have almost never surrender power in human history, because their destiny is always jail or dead. in fact, almost no dictator has died of natural causes (there are very few exceptions). and revolution almost always needs support of the army or, at least, that they do not intervene. as far as i know, there is no interest in the army on helping a revolution to take place, because they are as down in the mud as maduro. if they overthrow him, they are basically commiting suicide.
Minus the shenanigans, the Venezuelan election system is actually pretty secure and transparent. Without the said system, the shenanigans won't be discovered and evidenced.
Venezuela is not in a good state. Their economy is collapsing, yet the main party still has power. Tbf, either they figure it out themselves and prove socialism is good. Or...

Soy Español pero tengo amigos Venezolanos aquí y se me parte el alma hablando con ellos. El día de las elecciones realmente pensé que podría cambiar algo, no me dormí hasta que el régimen anunció su "victoria" sobre mas 6:00am de acá. En ese momentó me desilusioné pero la fortaleza que estáis mostrando, aun con todas las atrocidades de las que la dictadura es capaz, realmente me la devuelve. Ojalá poder algún día visitar una Venezuela libre, próspera y con un pueblo dueño de su destino.

This is basically what a modern 'dark age' would look like.
I never advocate violence, but I agree... the people of Venezuela can only be pushed so far before they revolt and remove Meduro by force.
They won't do anything... they rather flee than fight. Even now, they are only protesting while waiting for another country to step in.
When peaceful change is impossible, violent revolution becomes inevitable
It's always interesting to see these dictators that have so much ego, but no pride in their country. Who the hell wants their legacy to be an utter sh*tshow.
They don't care, can't enjoy admiration when you're dead but you can live like a Roman emperor by keeping a stranglehold on power while you're alive.
Difference between Bukele and Maduro
Ummm, to answer your question: people who have been raised by parties (i.e. military/government/foreign); almost from birth, they get mindnumbingly brain -washed- fucked. the said party will raise the child as if they were raising a husk of a human body that has to be filled with ego, reminding that they are the ones who wants his good side and every single person including their parents/friends/wife/child and the humankind are all bad people and are worthless and always think of bad things about him.
Literally met someone who discussed these situation that he was forced to go through and had to take mental scars that damaged him for life, until someone found him a way out of the hell hole
That is the problem, they dont care, not only dictators, all elitist and rich, they dont give a crap, how they left the place, do you think they care, look the state of europe, of Cuba, of Venezuela, or areas of the own US, they dont care, no elitist or one that thing he knows better care

Excellent video. I will only mention a few details that are wrong:
• Guaidó was not a presidential candidate. He was the president of the Legislative Branch. His consideration as Interim President was due to the fact that, as such, he is the constitutional successor to be Interim President when the president and his vice president are unfit for the position.
• In 2019, Maduro ran in the elections almost as a single candidate. The opposition parties were completely blocked and only "cardboard candidates" could stand. What we call here "Scorpions" (members of the opposition with businesses and ties with Maduro).
• What in 2019 made Guaidó proclaim himself as President in Charge, was that the constitution calls for the president to appear on January 3 before the legislative branch to present State of the Nation Address and in election years, be sworn in. Maduro decided to ignore this and go to his Constituent Assembly. Leaving him in contempt of the constitution.
• In 2024, support for María Corina Machado was not so unitary. The Venezuelan opposition parties are very "old-fashioned" social groups of cronies who even have personal histories and ties with Chavismo. Political enemies, but who, in the end, are quite close. That is why the persecution of opposition (Leader) focuses on younger members or relatively new parties.
• María Corina in her history as a politician was despised by the old elite of the opposition for being very, "radical" (she called Chávez, for example, a thief to his face). This is because "it broke with the ecosystem." Apart from all this, the old opposition feared the figure of Chavez and is currently still trying to maintain bridges with Chavismo.
• Maria Corina won the leadership because of the primaries, not with the favor of the old parties, but in spite of them. And they even tried to sabotage her. But in the end, María Corina prevailed as the victor, with 92% in the opposition primaries and unifying the old opposition parties, basically under penalty of political death. As happened with the former primary candidate Carlos Posperi, who came in second place, and did not want the leadership of Maria Corina, ended up declaring himself a Chavista and campaigning for Maduro.
• Maduro really believed he would win. Not only because of the pressure against Maria, but in truth he believed that, with the "minimal" economic improvement and a revitalization of his image on social, he was going to boost a vote in his favor. His own ego prevented him from seeing the obvious. They lost by 35 points.
• Finally: They were not polls outside the polling stations. In Venezuelan elections, the candidate parties have the right to have witnesses inside the voting centers, one for each table/machine if they want, and at the end of the day, the voting machine of that center, issues a record of the vote counts... How many people voted, how many for "x", how many for "y". Every witness is entitled to a copy of this record (signed by the present members of the CNE and by the witnesses of the other parties). What Maria Corina did was to set up the social operation of having witnesses in each and every one of the voting tables, and with the help of the military (who assist the voting as logistical), scan and send those record to a centralized point, where they were published. That is, the results that were made public are not the products of a survey, but of the electoral system itself. That is why when the international community asks for "Results", it is asking the CNE to release the record that they also have, and compare them with those collected by the opposition logistics.
"In 2024, support for María Corina Machado was not so unitary."
If the old opposition leaders can muster up 8% of the vote combined, we can call the support pretty unitary.
@@thearpox7873 I was referring more to the support of the traditional opposition leadership.
Popular support is more complicated. Actually, it wasn't that it was surprising, but it was abrupt. The opposition primaries were held in two "states of mind"
The traditional opposition knew that the population was discouraged in its traditional leadership (protecting bridges and concluding the conflict with negotiations). That was what happened in 2014 with the protests, and in 2019. This "idea of betrayal" was felt.
But, the traditional opposition had the operational logistics to support a campaign. So many believed that this traditional opposition would win, not because of the support, but because they were the only ones capable of carrying out a campaign.
Well, the logistics machinery failed and Maria Corina won, to the surprise of everyone, except obviously the population and herself. Again, like Chavismo... Their own ego does not let them see what is obvious. But the good news, these parties have already united under the leadership of MCM
though I don't agree with everything you say, it is at least more accurate than the propaganda that the podcast broadcaster says.
@@JMTgpro I appreciate the additional details, but it really does sound like the old opposition were relegated to bunch of irrelevant has-beens on the fringes, and the video missed little from their omission.
Getting the support of their logistics infrastructure was nice, but it sound like Maria was doing fine even without it, and again, it can't have been that impressive if it only got 8% in the primaries even taking into account the feelings of betrayal.
@@thearpox7873 That statement is somewhat presentist. The traditional opposition elite were the ones who won the 2015 parliamentary elections and dominated the opposition will. They approached the primaries thinking that they still had the strength that made them win 2/3 of the legislative representatives. In fact, they looked down on Maria Corina, since her last candidacy, being the 2013 primaries, obtained popular support of 4% if I remember correctly. And since then she remained present in speech, but not as a leader. But the population's desire for renewed leadership, and outside of the old elites considered as "traitors" surprised them that day. But luckily, today, those old elites remain with MCM
And with those final words of this video, are so true (and has been seen so much throughout history’s major civil conflicts) how much can a human be pushed until he/she snaps…… regardless of how things go, I wish the Venezuelans Godspeed in their eventual march for liberty and freedom

That's also a reason why some people having chirping smoke detectors in their videos, the complaints make the videos do better.
I hope to be proven wrong, but I don't think anything will happen. Venezuelans might be at their breaking point, but those 8 million that left the country were probably their best and brightest, whilst those that remain are the weakest and most drained.
So far it's only been those inside Vzla that have tried to get Mamaduro out if power, but I think that the effort will only be successful once those trapped in that nightmare get help from those that escaped.

Also, some of those braindead communists who say that America is Satan ironically live in places like Miami, or enjoy and support the capitalism and imperialism they supposedly hate so much.

@@jirikurto3859 venezuelan here
Everything he said is happening to us, stfu
Thank you for finally making a video about the current situation, I really appreciate it! Two corrections about what you said:
1st. Guaidó didn't manage to do anything because he wasn't really interested in doing so, he had a lot of resources given to him mainly from the US and ended up stealing them instead of building an actual counter-government or anything.
2nd. María Corina Machado and company didn't make "independent voting ballots" nor "independent polling stations" (it was done as backup strategy, yes, as for the same gvt. repression it's not easy to convince everyone to say openly who they voted for). The main strategy was to get the vote counts from the actual voting machines all around the country, which give a receipt stating the number of votes of that machine for all candidates running, for each party even. Some government officials and military representatives tried to stop that but as it is completely legal it wasn't easy to do so without getting themselves into problems. It is even stated that the officials running the machines, when they close the polling station, have to say out loud the total number of votes of their stations, which in many cases were video recorded... These "recepits" were then given to MCM's party and then her team organized what they could gather, around 83% of the total polling stations' receipts, on a page which was open to the public.
I was about to comment this. You're absolutely right, Maria Corina didnt set up an "alternate" voting ballot. She used the receipts of the voting machines (managed by the goverment of course) which are signed by opposition and regime witnesses, and uploaded those results (City by city, state by state, incredibly granular) to a publicly available webpage within hours of the election happening. Meanwhile the goverment electoral power hasnt even published the results yet.
Just one thing my friend, the oposition didint ask outside of the voting center, in venezuela the machine print copies of the result on each voting center "actas".

As far as merch goes, you need something that just says " But wait, it gets worse." It's pretty much the channel's slogan at this point.
Thank you for covering the issues in Venezuela 🙏 but there are a couple of mistakes in the video, there weren't ''independent polling stations'', the voting machines after all votes are casted print somenthing called an ''acta'', and this ''actas'' are signed and supervised by witnesses from every political party participating and get a copy , this ''acta'' revelas the amount of votes for each candidate/political party have and they are usually published for auditing after elections, each acta with QR codes and serial numbers to prove it's authenticity. What Maria Corina did was make sure that they could gather their copies of the actas from their witnesses (many of which they couldn’t gather because goverment intervention) and tabulate them and publish them so that international auditors could count them properly to verify the results for themselves without the CNE (they gathered enough to prove their win in the election). And both the CNE the Goverment refuses to show their ''actas'' to corroborate the result they declared, thats why even their polical allies don't recognize the results declared by the CNE
Well documented video. Better information than the news outlets. Congrats!
27:30 was more complicated than that. At the end of the elections the server sends the result to the different machines... those were the data that are uploaded to the database. The military were instructed to prevent the opposition from having access to the results, but they gave in to the will of the people
The sad thing is that we were on the brink of this 4 years ago, and i woulent be shocked ir we see it in my lifw time here.
10:18 as someone that was there, this isn’t technically true, Guado never won any elections, so because that election happened without the approval of opposition controlled assembly, the opposition didn’t recognize it, so they declared that no election was held and appointed Guaidó, the president of the assembly at the time as acting president
It’s a minor correction but just wanted to clarify that Guaidó was never elected
But how? I mean communism should have worked

@@dr1742 not as bad as you'd think. We saved Kuwait, the USSRs oil industry was started by American investors and experts, we helped liberate Romania, we helped liberate Indonesia and Brunei, and helped to protect Australia. Not sure if it's a good thing but the US also helped Saudi arabia and Egypt out quite a bit as well as Pakistan and, for a time at least, helped out Iran. Look at most oil rich countries and you'll see that even some state owned oil companies were started with American help. The US also helped rebuild iraqs oil industry which was lagging due to saddams incompetence, and that's where American oil companies made money in Iraq: tax payers paid a FORTUNE to those companies to rebuild Iraqs infrastructure and both the oil fields and much of the infrastructure was always state owned, the US never controlled any of it.
FYI, man-in-the-middle attacks are essentially impossible nowadays, due to virtually every modern website/app using the Transport Layer Security protocol, you don't need a VPN for that. VPNs are mainly useful for hiding your IP address from malicious websites (or to access restricted features), not hiding what you are doing in that website from third parties.
Not if you use an unsecured public wifi connection. Which are still all over the place.
@@PhysicsGamer That is completely unrelated, TLS works regardless of whether the network is secure, that is the reason it exists to begin with.
For context, TLS utilizes the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman algorithm to securely exchange keys over insecure channels (like public wifi), and then utilizes those keys to secure its own traffic.
@@nepnep1057 Until the AP pretends to be the actual website to you and pretends to be you to the actual website.
Which is much easier for an attacker to set up when an AP isn't using any sort of encryption - much easier to hijack traffic that way, by pretending to be the actual AP the user connected to.
@@PhysicsGamer Remember that TLS uses certificates, your device verifies that the certificate sent by the website (which would be the attacker in your example) is signed by a trusted CA (a list of which is also kept locally) and allowed to represent the specific domain. Your browser would just tell you the certificate being sent by the attacker isn't what it expects.

27:25 Independent polling was not the only way the opposition was able to determine they won. see the Smartmatic voting machines print out a physical tally of all the votes casted in said machine for each "voting table" (each voting center may have multiple voting tables with each having a voting machine exclusive for that table) and for each candidate. these are called "Actas de votacion" these "actas" then have to be reviewed by the voting table members designated by the CNE. and then each party's representative can have a physical copy of the "acta" so what opposition leader Maria Corina and her party were able to do was organize and train thousands of people in other to retrieve said "actas de votacion" across the country, digitize them and the publish them online for everyone to see. basically doing the CNE's job for them since as of today the CNE hasn't pusblised official any results table by table, center by center, candidate by candidate. they just went on a stage and said. Yup maduro won with 52% (exactly 52% wich is numerically imposible) they later tried to fix that but forgot to adjust the number of null votes was also a round %.

Great video, as always, just a small correction, the opposition didn't know they won because of exit polls outside the voting stations. In fact exit polls have been outlawed in venezuela since the times of Chavez. But instead they had certified observers within almost all of the voting centers. In venezuela when a voting center closes it prints an account of all the votes (just the totals not who voted for whom). The opposition used their observers and scanned almost all of the prints which serve as an account of the ballots and even creates a web page which allows verification. That's how we know the opposition won by a landslide.
The vote is electronic. The electronic count showed 51% maduro. You're lying about the opposition counting from the majority of polling places. The opposition bases its lies on polls and a sampling of some of the polling places.
@diegoflores9237 ok, show the ballots. The opposition has them public. Why can't the government show them? Why was no independent auditor or observer allowed? why has no independent auditor been allowed to verify the results?. It was fraud, evident and flagrant.
@diegoflores9237 ok then show the ballots. The opposition has made them public and available for anyone to verify. Why can't the government show the ballots? Why were so many foreign observers prohibited entrance to the country and even expelled the day of the election? Why can't independent auditors verify the results? How come the result as they announced it was perfect with 2 decimals followed by six zeroes on all candidates which would be mathematicaly impossible? Do you justify the repression? The 2000+ detained protestors?
@@diegoflores9237 83.50% of polling places is not "some of them" ITS THE BIG MAJORITY.
The electronic count showed 51% maduro. Right. Thing is, the electronic one has to produce the fucking receipt so every candidate can verify the votes of each polling place with the copies they have from the voting centers to ensure there is not shady business going aorund, and they have 48 hours to present them.
Its been more than 3 weeks already, no receipts. They just said trust me bro, proceeded to kill more than 20 people in protest, put behind bars more than 2000 protesters and opened 2 concentration centers for young people in order to put them under "re-education" and forced labor.
Sincerely, fuck off, tankie. WE HAVE THE RECEIPTS YOU LIKE IT OR NOT :)

Leaders will break or make a nation. Its unfortunate A wealthy country like Venezuela in pooverty and Economic decline. Great report anf trust Venezuela will be liberated from oppression and captivity to experience economic prosperity and progress for all Suffering Venezuelans. My prayers are with Venezuela.
Could you talk more about brazil? Because Lula here always defend Venezuela was diferent but democratic regime, the Tribunal and military action of venezuela looks simikar to actionns taken after Luka wins last election, giving "proof" to opositiin argunents that the last election was fraudlent, as for the opsition looks like maduro is copying the actions of hes sucefuul neighbor.
When the crisis started Lula stay wuiet for oblivious reasons but some politican of the left dint take the hint and start defend maduro,the oposition uses this to atack lula, for outsiders this seens strange, but brazilian left uses everyrhing bolsonaro aling politican says again bolsonaro itselfs, its kind ironic lula is tasting hes own medecine.
Lula also have a problem to talk to mich and private and lots of leaked video of lula still giving suport of maduro on 8nternal party metings.
Also globo, everyone know they auto-censure theyself for monye of any current brazilian regime, but a reasent scandal haooens when a major scandal involving the goverment all media spoked about, except globo and his principal rival sbt not only cover the scandal but also the globo silence about it.
I buy diferent newspaper and my experience os that globe newspapaer avoid cover violent crims and goverment gafes and always put a positive ligth thaht everthing the goverment do, iclusive the constant new taxes, obs the political chargist of globo do charges saying lula is a hard working men, wtf? What king of political chargist dont make fun of goverment.
Plus brazil have lots of tankie influencer that have a mental arnor that would make amatas blush, is sad see normal people here defending maduro reapt influencers talk point, but you know is brazilian tanks, they defend even pol pot so no surprises.
Obs:I know bolsonora is not a saint but the current president in this crise is LULA
Sidenote: youtube ads are interesting. I watched a 15 minute tv show about Florida where the host fead crocodiles. Shucked oysters, and drove race tracks. It was a good pallet clens.
the revolution is getting a revolution 😂🤯
Nobody to blame for this, but Venezuelans. They elected a socialist on their own free will.
Just like what will happen if you vote for harris
Indeed, i mean when Chavez come for the first time he said he will leave if they didnt want them, that he wont do any of these, and many scholars in Venezuela said these will happen and bingo, it happen, and he didnt leave, same in Cuba, and well, now, Venezuelan have a chance to kick them out and didnt choose, when they are literaly dying every day and they do not do anything for one side can you blame them for the other they dont do anything well, you are saying they dont care life, at least the ones that escape to other countrys they realise these is death
@sierracosta47 This is why I stopped voting democrat. Obama is the last democrat I voted for. That's it for me! I'm staying Republican across the board! Local and national. That party doesn't represent traditional American values anymore.
Great Coverage as always
Why do the people not fight this? Why do the army allow this to happen to their own people?
we have fougth and theyve killed us we ahd more than 100 casualties in the 2017, 23 in a week in this one, and there at least 2000 incarcerated, some in the army have rebeled but its not generalised and a couple battalions cant do much, some provinces have rebelled, but without being general they cant do much either, the army is in the payroll of the drug trade and extorsion and the goverment controls that, but i hope this time will be different, only time can tell
Because Maduro allow them to steal and plunder theyre own people, they dont care, the peoplel socialist dont see theyre own people as people, if you see or read Marx you realize for leftist, and socialist people are cogs in the machine, they can talk about the worker and that in reality they hate workers, they hate people in general they see themself above them.
I remember a moment when things were really bad and they wanted to sen international aid to Venezuela and Maduro said no and police and military stop aid, aid for the people food, wated, medicine to arrive because he didnt want, and the police and military prefer the people to stave and die that acutaly loose the privilege to plunder theyre own people
Because the army is paid off. They don’t care about the suffering of the lower classes
I don't know if you did a video on it but could you do one for the teagray war and the effects on Ethiopia going forward
This is what apathy gets you. This is where america is going if we allow those who are degrading our institutions to continue living.

The Czechs disagree with you on that
An armed population always holds a silent or passive deterrent to government overreach. We have overreach here in the US and we are armed so imagine the reaching a government would pull knowing the entire territory has no weapons. The armed population never has to use these weapons, doesn't even have to think about using them, by the fact of their existence behavior is changed. I feel for any place for whom there are massive unarmed populations because even if it takes time the clamp is inevitable. I hope it changes for them soon down there. There, and many other places in a similar plight, stuck in inaction because there's no tools for the moment.
No , it will not, people will just knuckle under ...............
When are we getting a shirt that says "and so it was"? Wendigoon now has his catch phrase do with that what you will, time to make one with your catchphrase!
Venezuelan here, hoping this video is like the Bangladesh one and you end up jinxing the whole government
20:57 Yes. Dumpster fire knows no borders. There are regions in South Korea whose residents are not allowed to donate blood. These regions border the Korean DMZ, and therefore close in proximity to North Korea. Health officials decided there is a significant, unignorable risk of malaria contaminating the blood supply from this region, and that's why some of these regions are restricted from donating blood. Because public hygine in North Korea is just as good as its food situation.
27:20 That's very wrong. The machines that emitted the votes printed a total of the votings for that machine, and all observers had to have s copy by law. That's what was posted onñine, the machine totals.
Brazil is slowly threading the same path.
The 8 star venezuelan flag is a revised one by the maduro regime. That 8th star represents venezuela's claim to 2/3 of its neighbour, Guyana.
i studied a masters degree in political science and i am pretty sure that when we studied dictatorships two thing were pretty clear: dictators have almost never surrender power in human history, because their destiny is always jail or dead. in fact, almost no dictator has died of natural causes (there are very few exceptions).
and revolution almost always needs support of the army or, at least, that they do not intervene. as far as i know, there is no interest in the army on helping a revolution to take place, because they are as down in the mud as maduro. if they overthrow him, they are basically commiting suicide.
Sounds like America, who would have thought...
It really doesn't take much to keep people from revolting.
He can't keep getting away with this

Minus the shenanigans, the Venezuelan election system is actually pretty secure and transparent. Without the said system, the shenanigans won't be discovered and evidenced.
If Musk actually does have the guts to step into the ring, I'm still rooting for Maduro. Always pick the lesser evil.
Venezuela is not in a good state. Their economy is collapsing, yet the main party still has power. Tbf, either they figure it out themselves and prove socialism is good. Or...
So, a typical election in areas like San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Evidence to support your claim? And that it doesn't happen in rural America, where there are less people to check for corruption?
