🇻🇪🇬🇾 VENEZUELA HOLDS REFERENDUM TO REASSERT ITS CLAIM TO GUYANA ESSEQUIBO

The Venezuelan Government held a national referendum Sunday to reassert its claim to the lands of Guyana Essequibo, reigniting geopolitical tensions in the region decades in the making.

The Guyana Essequibo region is part of the legacy of the British Empire, and is a region the Monroe Doctrinaires placed firmly in the US sphere of influence that today is dominated by the corporate interests of US oil giant Exxon Mobile.

The government of Guyana issues licenses to Exxon Mobile to drill and process petroleum products off Guyana's shores in an arrangement that the native inhabitants are none-too-happy with.

In Guyana, only 25% of oil profits remain in-country, and a poor system of redistribution has left the country's inhabitants with the lowest Human Development Index in South America, while extreme poverty affects 35.1% of the population.

In this way, Exxon Mobile has become the chief player in this century-old territorial dispute between Guyana and Venezuela.

Even internally, Guyana has major complaints with Exxon Mobile as an imperial extension of the US ruling class, with huge court battles coming to head in recent months against the giant domineering US corporation.

According to a recent article about just such a court battle, The Intercept's Amy Westervelt wrote:

"In Guyana, it’s become hard to distinguish where the oil company ends and the government begins. Exxon executives join the Guyanese president in his suite at cricket matches, and the vice president regularly hosts press conferences to defend the oil company."

The territorial dispute goes back to an 1890's International decision on the location of the borders of what was then British Guyana, a cruel colonial outpost of the British Empire.

At the time, the burgeoning US empire backed Venezuela's claims, a country which the US ruling class was trying to turn into a colony of its own, and were saying the lands in question should be a part of Venezuela, while the British wanted it to be part of its Guyana colony.

A Russian arbitrator, whom many Venezuelan historians believe to have been bribed by the British, ruled in favor of the British Empire's claim.

The territory made up 2/3rds of the territory of Guyana, and as long as the British held their colony, the Venezuelans could do little to change the situation.

In 1966, an agreement was reached to begin negotiations between Guyana and Venezuela to revisit the Essequibo territorial claims, however those negotiations never made any progress and the situation is coming to head now, many decades later.

The UN Secretary General, Antonio Guitierrez, recently referred the matter to the International Court of Justice in the Hague, however the Venezuelan government has no faith in the institution, believing (correctly) that it is merely an extension of Western geopolitical power.

And so, today the Venezuelan government is holding a referendum to reassert its claim to the Guyana Essequibo territory and that they reject any decisions by International institutions to reward Guyana's claims.

cool fun fact for sunday

East Asia and South of South America are Antipodes meaning that they are in completely opposite points on the globe.

This means that when Acau joins we will have ccs in oppolise places playing together. People who physically could not be further away from each other.

The ones in buenos aires would be the furthest but i doubt Carre will play so I think cellbit or bagi are next. (idk where exactly they live but I'm pretty sure they come from the south of brazil)

Here is a map of the world showing antipodes. The areas in orange are perfectly opposite to each other.

#qsmp #hope when chinese speaking streamers get added we can get carre on as well so we have someone in Beijing and in Buenos Aires being together #they are both nearly opposite as well #alternativelly we could get someone in Peru and South East Asia #Or in Spain and New Zealand #Colombia/ venezuela and Indonesia too #ahh cant wait for more Asian CCs and mroe south american CCs #Taiwan and paraguay #Brazila dn the philipines but that part of brazil is fairly uninhabited (the coast has most people)#Chile and central china too

Local authorities in Venezuela have discovered a Vympel R-73 short range air-to-air missile, used by the Sukhoi Su-30 fleet serving the country, inside a house in Palo Seco, Guárico State, leading to the arrest of the owner of the house.

The missile was apparently recovered after a 2019 crash of an Su-30 in the area.

Last Wednesday [October 18], WBEZ (91.5 FM) reported that a civic leader of St. Louis visited the Chicago Mayor’s Office to discuss a program whereby migrants from Venezuela could be brought to the Gateway to the West in order to ease the migrant crisis gripping the Windy City just as winter temperatures arrive.

It’s estimated that 20,000 migrants, mostly Venezuelans, have arrived in Chicago this year, and finding them places to stay has been challenging.

The WBEZ report details that St. Louis is currently in a decline of population and employees, and some in the city believe the migrants and the city would be better off long-term if they moved there.

The International Institute of St. Louis announced the new Latino Outreach Program last month with the aim of both attracting and accommodating migrants arriving from Latin America.

Karlos Ramirez, vice president of Latino Outreach for the International Institute, told WBEZ the as-yet unconfirmed agreement “could be the potential for a great relationship between both cities,” adding that “if the [migrants] are going to be in a better place, St. Louis is going to be in a better place, and Chicago is going to be in a better place, I think everybody wins.”

Ramirez says that any next step would have to include sharing details and practices between Latino Outreach and its partners with their counterparts in Chicago.

Fox News 2 reached out to the St. Louis Mayor’s Office for comment, and the representative shared a statement released previously in response to the WBEZ report.

“While the City has not had direct conversations on welcoming more migrants from Chicago, the City of St. Louis has had a longstanding cooperative relationship with the International Institute to welcome immigrants and refugees to the St. Louis area.”

Other migrant welcome programs in the city, such as the Arch Grants program, saw great success in Afghans fleeing the country in August of 2021, and the International Institute modeled its efforts for Latino Outreach on this success.

🇻🇪🇬🇾 🚨 PRESIDENTS OF VENEZUELA AND GUYANA TO MEET IN SAIN VINCENT'S AND THE GRENADINES, DECEMBER 14TH

The President of Venezuela, Nicholas Maduro and the President of Guyana, Irfaan Ali will meet in person in Saint Vincent's and the Grenadines, on December 14th to discuss a peaceful resolution to the crises in the Essequibo territory.

In a letter published by the host, Ralph Gonsalves to the two Presidents, Gonsalves wrote:

“The leadership of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States CELAC and the Caribbean Community Caricom consider it necessary and desirable to facilitate the convening of a meeting of the Presidents of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on Thursday, December 14, 2023, at 10 a.m., to discuss border dispute between these two great countries,” says the text of Gonsalves’ letter, which was published on air by the Venezuelan television channel VTV.

Nicholas Maduro previously requested the National Assembly in Venezuela to pass a law to protect Venezuela's interests in the disputed Essequibo territory by establishing a new Venezuelan state west of the Essequibo river.

He further announced the immediate activation of a social assistance plan for Guyana-Essequibo, a census, and the issuance of documents for the entire population of these lands.

As a temporary legal measure to integrate the new region, the head of state proposed a presidential decree establishing the Guyana-Essequibo Integral Defense Zone.

Guyana's President has said previously that the country views these moves as a threat to its national security and intends to appeal to the UN Security Council.
