This Week on GRadio
by C.L. Cook - GRadio.Substack.com
Five weeks after the United States’ murderous assault against Venezuela it’s becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish resistance from acquiescence. As with Mexico’s president Claudia Sheinbaum, acting Venezuelan president Delcy RodrÃguez has too halted energy exports to Cuba and gone further, agreeing to onerous US-dictated terms for access to Venezuela’s oil resources, dressed up in the country’s recently reformed Hydrocarbon Law. And now reportedly beginning exports to Israel.
So what of the popular outrage and demands for resistance to what looks like an armed take-over of the Bolivarian Revolutionary Movement and all those fighting for a better World new order?
Alison Bodine is an activist, author, researcher, and contributing editor for the Fire This Time Newspaper. She’s too an activist with the Venezuela Solidarity Network and Vancouver’s Mobilization Against War and Occupation. Alison served as an election observor in Venezuela in 2024 for both communal and presidential elections campaigns, and authored the book, ‘Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Venezuela’, published by Battle of Ideas Press.
Alison Bodine in the first half.
And; activist, journalist, author, and legitimate BAU disruptor, Yves Engler is in B.C. this week, presenting ‘The Failure of Social Democracy: NDP Support for Militarism and Imperialism’. He’s written a dozen books, 11 of them being on the perfidious history of Canadian foreign policy, the latest, ‘Canada’s Long Fight Against Democracy’, co-written with Owen Schalk.
Yves’ tour will land in Victoria February 16th, cross the strait to Powell River on the 17th, and down to Surrey and Burnaby on the 18th and 19th, before heading inland to the Okanagan for Kelowna’s Friday, February 20th event.
Yves Engler on a political structure to succeed where the NDP continues to fail in the second half.
But first, Alison Bodine and the Revolution’s darkest days.
