🔴 VENEZUELA IN THE HANDS OF GUERRILLAS! ELN AND FARC SOW TERROR

The speaker argues that the United States is dismantling Venezuela's armed forces, both official and irregular, through bombings and bounties, while the government cedes territory to guerrillas like the ELN and FARC dissidents. He reports that in Los Pijiguaos, these groups have taken control, kidnapping indigenous leaders, planting anti-personnel mines, and even using drones, forcing a school to close. The speaker concludes that the regime's complicity and loss of financial control have led to this territorial surrender, and he questions when the U.S. will intervene there as it did in Apure.

🔴 EN VIVO | ¡TRUMP PIERDE EL CONGRESO! ¿PELIGRA LA LIBERTAD DE VENEZUELA?

Melanio Escobar sostiene que la derrota republicana en las elecciones de medio término no detendrá la transición venezolana, sino que podría acelerarla, gracias al trabajo bipartidista de María Corina Machado. Explica que los demócratas investigarán los acuerdos petroleros y las operaciones militares, pero que el juicio a Maduro y la presencia militar estadounidense en Venezuela continuarán, ya que son políticas de Estado. Advierte que el acuerdo militar con EE.UU. es inminente y necesario para transformar a la FANB, aunque el Congreso demócrata podría complicar su implementación.

🔴 Venezuela in D.C.: Oliver Blanco face to face with the State Department

Oliver Blanco's meeting with Marco Rubio was less about public diplomacy and more about Washington reinforcing its three-phase plan for Venezuela, with a direct order to release political prisoners, the speaker argues. The meeting, held the day before U.S. midterm elections, likely served to deliver instructions that couldn't be trusted to a written brief, and it was followed by the release of at least one prisoner, Magbis Rondón, though over 400 remain detained. The speaker speculates that Blanco's role is to act as a functional intermediary, more palatable to the State Department than his predecessor, and that María Corina Machado's presence in Venezuela has accelerated the timeline for reforms.
