French authorities have arrested an activist for an ultra-left wing movement at an SNCF rail company site, days after sabotage attacks paralyzed the network, a police source said Monday.

The man was detained at Oissel in northern France on Sunday and had access keys to SNCF technical premises, tools and literature linked to the ultra-left, said the source, asking not to be named.

The protestors in Venezuela that Elon Musk et. al. support have set fire to a hospital tonight.

Hospitals have traditionally been a favourite target of the Venezuelan right-wing

Opposition supporters have burned down a pharmacy in Caracas that catered to underprivileged Venezuelans.

The Governments of Russia and China condemned the destabilization attempts in Venezuela and reaffirmed their support for President Maduro.

Seems like protests have died down during the night. Chavistas will be marching around Caracas today, so we might see some fights, or this could scare off the opposition.

If wonder if that pathetic little clapping seal display in the US Congress last week emboldened Israel at all? I mean, Israel already knew they had overwhelming support in Congress… but just the way all those reps and senators completely debased themselves. That had to have made the Israelis feel that congressional rep will start engaging in fistfights over who can give them more money. I wouldn’t be surprised if Fetterman proposes we just literally hand over every US military asset and personnel to Israel.

Venezuelan opposition in shambles

What I think will happen in the next days. The opposition was saying yesterday that they won with 70% to 80% of the vote, without any irony. They were 100% serious, and Machado, Gonzalez, was literally silent for most of the event, said that the army should stage a coup. Milei also said that. By the way, the opposition was saying that they won from 10 o'clock in the morning, because most of their voters vote in the morning, and they were "leaking" polls and votes showing how they won 99 brazillion votes and Maduro only won 2.

Today they are saying that they won with 60% of the vote against Maduro's 32%, which are still absurd figures. What I think will happen is that, apart from the far-right and really pro-US governments in Latin America. Most governments will recognize Maduro as the winner.

The US will tell the opposition to back off its aggression. They will probably change the whole fraud issue to “Actually, there was no fraud, but it was an unfair election! Because they didn't let the neo-Nazi Ivan Duque personally count every vote!”. The US will maintain some sanctions, but will still buy oil from Venezuela and deport Venezuelans back to Venezuela.

I don't think the US can intervene militarily in Venezuela. Not with the Russian navy in Cuba, specially the nuclear sub there. And without support from Colombia and Brazil.

This is the voice of the Iranian people's anger and hatred towards the Zionists who assassinated their friend and guest in their country

South Africa congratulated Maduro's election victory. Election observers from South Africa also stated the elections were free and fair, with them also praising the abundance of voting stations, prompt audits, ID and biometric verification, electronic voting also with backup paper ballots. The observation was supported by COSATU, ANC, EFF, SACP, A4P, among others. The live radio station Salaamedia also stated that it should come as no surprise the usual Western suspects disputed the election results.

Death to AmeriKKKa

It's being alleged that WhatsApp was used to help track Ismail Haniyeh for assassination. Zionisted by the Fuckerberg?

Alaska gang here, it's not even dinner time yet and I'm here going "hell yeah" to the fact I'm gonna actually be awake for some possibly wild shit to go down while I'm awake for once.

Maduro looking increasingly right if he did steal the election ( which I don't think he did).

Seeing what happened in Venezuela and Lemmy liberals still defending the opposition really shows how hard liberals have faith in their institutions without question. Even citing questionable anecdotes that said institutions refer to as “proof” of rigged elections.

Reminds me of when Destiny fans kept referencing Twitter posts from “reputable sources” to prove that Hamas did indeed behead Israeli babies.

When you annoy the local organizing groupchat arguing with the fed/plant who has been continuously posting on behalf of US state propaganda against Iran, Hezbollah and the resistance even if nominally being in the 'pro-Palestine' group, after he starts caping for the right wing color revolution in Venezuela

President Maduro remarks Elon Musk's posts to X last night, claiming that a photo served as evidence that NM stole the elections. "Elon Musk, you're so desperate..control yourself." "You want a fight? I'm prepared. I'm a son of Bolívar and Chávez. I'm not afraid of you."

"You show [Elon Musk] a map and ask him where Venezuela is, he'll show you Asia. He doesn't even know where it is." "The Empire, the Pentagon create technologies and puts them in the hands of private people.."

lol

"I want to reassure Australians probable does not mean inevitable, and it does not mean it is intelligence about an imminent threat or danger," Mr Albanese said.

"[But] when the temperature of the security environment is rising, we must lower the temperature of debate."

Mr Albanese said Australians must be able to resolve their differences peacefully and debate political issues like the conflict in Gaza peacefully.

"No one is suggesting people should have conformity to particular views, but the way people express things is important," he said.

"It is not normal to have people in occupations for months outside electorate offices, where the work of those electorate offices is to assist people."

The official terror alert level was last raised to "probable" in 2014 with the emergence of the Islamic State terrorist group.

Btw, the statue they destroyed wasn't one of Chavez, but one of Dr. José Gregorio Hernández, a doctor and catholic saint in Venezuela.

Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay express “deep concern about the conduct of the elections” in Venezuela and request an urgent meeting of the OAS on the matter.

All currently under right-wing puppet regimes. In Paraguay's case, a one-state party, all the opposition candidates questioned the legality of the previous election lol.

Uruguay, Peru and Ecuador are really funny because soon there will be presidential elections there and the current presidents won't be able to get reelected due to unpopularity. Theres literally an energy blackout in Ecuador rn. Panama elected a guy who was hiding inside an embassy as their president.

Argentina is under an ancap, their opinion is irrelevant. Doubt Milei will last next year.

Trump: I have been the best president for the black population since Abraham Lincoln!

LMFAO! You cannot make this shit up!

IRGC report that Haniyeh killed by short range missile. Maybe a shoulder launched missile? https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/8/3/haniyeh-killed-by-short-range-projectile-fired-from-outside-home-irgc

Yeah fuck the communist party of venezuela I'm convinced there's something very very wrong with its central committee.

So in Portugal a journalist from "Radio Observador", the radio branch of the online right wing publication Observador, an outlet known for never having turned a profit but still getting funding due to its role in promoting right wing ideas in the country's discourse, said that someone from the PCV left THEM OF ALL PEOPLE a note saying, and they quote, "the portuguese communist party are our brothers, but you think you know venezuela better than us?", due to the party having congratulated maduro instead of appealing for intervention.

The journalist could be speaking figuratively or just lying, but then it would be pretty weird to put that note part in quotes making it look like a citation.

Also ironic that this outlet, who never invites the communist party to anything finally found space in its website for communist ideas, they just had to be ideas that align with impearealism.

In fact a whole lot of people from the far-left especially and to the far-right, who don't give a flying fuck about the IMCWP communist parties like the PCV (and just call them stalinists or whatever) suddently love this party and use it to legitimate their own pro-interference position. Really shows how fucked of a statement the PCV put out if ANYONE can quote it to be like "see see, we should keep sanctioning this country".

Lula da Silva talks about the Venezuela Situation.

"I think it was a normal and free process. But they have to solve the dispute. If the opposition has a problem, they should go to the judicial system and follow the correct procedures to file a complaint. They have that right. Now, the government also has the right to demonstrate that it has won, freely and cleanly.”

"We will wait for the electoral process to be published, and we will respond in the right way when it is published.”

Very similar to AMLO's speech. I believe Petro will do the same soon. I think the Venezuela opposition will burn all the good will they have with some leftist and latino liberals. I have been checking twitter and the liberals were first 100% with Gonzalez, calling Maduro a dictator.

Then the Venezuela Opposition begun literally doing the same as Bolsonaro and Trump did. And the Liberals begun then both siding the two. It also didn't help the opposition keeps changing the numbers from 80% to 75% to 70% to 73% to 69% and finally recently: 68%. I doubt this will affect Petro and Lula's popularity too much. Can't say the same for Boric.

What really made the liberals angry at Gonzalez and Machado, were they posting numbers on a site that does not work, changing the numbers all the time, and self-proclaiming themselves as an interim government.

Opposition deputy (and presidential candidate) Jose Brito: "Where the fu*k are your children, Maria Machado? If Milei or Noboa were governing here, there would not have been a bone left unbroken last night!"

Maria Machado, the main US puppet in the opposition, infamously sent her children to the USA before calling for violent uprisings.

I love reading multiple articles about how "provocative" Russia is being by raising a Soviet flag and repainting "peace to the world"

Apparently—according to some political consultant on some KPFA show, so probably at least somewhat trustworthy at least as far as the facts go—they are going to coronate KKKopmala by Monday evening (remotely, via Zoom and shit), and she'll announce her VP running mate on Tuesday.

Gonna be another nausea week.

Genocide Joe/Kkkopmala supporters:

First they came for the Palestinians, and I ~~did not speak out~~ actively cheered it on,
Because I was not a Palestinian (and I fear they might've come for me next if I didn't).
