A new episode in the false flag operation being waged against the Venezuelan government to justify a foreign intervention, happened on the Francisco de Paula Santander International Bridge that links Venezuela and Colombia, Telesur reported.
Two out of the four trucks with alleged “humanitarian aid” from USAID, which were trying to illegally enter Venezuela, were burned at the border between the two countries. The burning trucks were on the Colombian side of the Francisco de Paula Santander Bridge where Venezuelan opposition leaders have been leading protests.
According to witnesses, violent right-wing opposition members torched the trucks with Molotov cocktails and then tried to incriminate the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) and the Bolivarian National Police (PNB). teleSUR’s Madelein Garcia, reported that the trucks were supposedly trying to enter Venezuela, but were then burned on the part of the bridge that belongs to Colombia.
The version if events saying that the trucks burned due to a “teargas bomb”, which are not incendiary devices, has been circulating on Colombian and international media networks and on social media.
In addition, some people were trying to illegally enter Venezuela using Red Cross jackets, despite not being affiliated with the international medical organization. The Red Cross has already officially rejected these attempts by the U.S. to deliver politicized “humanitarian aid.”
According to Telesur, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has stated on its certified Twitter account that they have noticed “some people not affiliated with Red Cross Colombia and Red Cross Venezuela wearing Red Cross emblems at the Colombia-Venezuela and Brazil-Venezuela border.”
The International organization has urged these people ” to stop doing this. They might mean well but they risk jeopardizing our neutrality, impartiality and independence.”
Also Saturday morning another false flag operation was denounced by the Venezuelan government. A group of low-level soldiers of the Venezuelan National Guard Saturday took over multiple armored vehicles that belong to the Venezuelan army and rammed them into border barriers at the Venezuelan-Colombian border in a staged operation ordered by right-wing opposition members in Colombia.
Venezuela Cuts Ties with Colombia As Maduro Declares ‘Coup Has Failed’
During a massive demonstration in favor of peace and democracy in Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro declared the coup d’etat defeated because of the unity of civil society with the military.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro broke all “all diplomatic and politic relations” with Colombia Saturday, after stating that President Ivan Duque has supported a “foreign military invasion” against Venezuela.
President Maduro gave 24 hours for all Colombian diplomatic personnel to leave the country. “Patience has been exhausted. We cannot continue to stand for it. We cannot continue to endure how Colombia lets it territory be used for aggression against Venezuela,” said Maduro in a Bolivarian rally.
Thousands of people supporting the Bolivarian Revolution gathered in a massive demonstration in Caracas to defend the peace and sovereignty of the nation. The mass of supporters was received by President Maduro at Miraflores palace (the presidential palace), who urged Venezuelans to fight to guarantee peace and national security.
According to Maduro, the U.S.-backed coup has failed in Venezuela, thanks to the unity of civic groups and the military. Because the Venezuelan people are “stronger than ever, very eager to continue fighting for Venezuela and to continue facing imperialism and Donald Trump.”
According to the Venezuelan president, “Never before has a Colombian president fallen so low as Ivan Duque. Devil go home! Everyone who hurts Venezuela eventually loses.” Maduro highlighted that neither Duque, nor the Colombian oligarchy make decisions in Venezuela. The Venezuelan people are fighting for sovereignty “in resistance to the gringo intervention. Here (in Venezuela) the people govern, nobody else.”
The president said that the alleged “humanitarian aid” the opposition intends to get through the border with Colombia is a mask that seeks to cover the actual U.S. intention: to intervene the country to plunder its wealth. The Venezuelan people, however, are “defending the borders of the homeland and the right to be free, sovereign and independent.”
