FOTO: Casa de las Americas affirms support for Venezuela
For Latin America and the Caribbean, halting the United States government’s warmongering and preserving the continent as a zone of peace are, right now, our most sacred duties, Casa de las Américas emphasized on Tuesday.
In a statement released in Havana, the cultural institution reiterates its support for the Venezuelan people and government in the face of the threat of a US military incursion in that South American nation.
“The real purpose of the growing military and media onslaught is the old imperial desire to crush the Bolivarian Revolution, control the country’s immense strategic resources, and consolidate dominance over the region, returning it to the era of the Big Stick,” warns the cultural institution’s text, which we transmit in full below:
“The destiny of Our America is tied to the destiny, integrity, and dignity of Venezuela.”
Statement from the Casa de las Américas
The United States is at war. First, against its own citizens, millions of whom –including many of the most lukewarm dissidents of the new order — have suddenly found themselves classified as radical leftists, and even terrorists; against its migrants, trapped like animals, humiliated, and deported without any judicial ruling; against its great cities, which are being militarized before the indignant eyes of their inhabitants; against the traditional “values” and institutions of liberal democracy, on the way to being dismantled.
As part of this delirium, the government has revived the appointment of a Secretary of War and has mobilized ships, submarines, and troops in the Caribbean, where we are well aware of the long and sinister history of US military intervention. The sponsors of the most atrocious genocide of our time are now having fun blowing up small boats off Venezuela and broadcasting on social media—to the astonishment of the international community—these executions, unsupported by any legality or morality.
The pretext, once again, is the fight against drug trafficking, a fallacious argument that in Latin America has served for decades by US governments and many of its local allies to establish military bases, implement interventionist plans, bomb civilians, and overthrow authorities.
This time, the danger has taken on a more dramatic dimension with the threat of a military incursion into Venezuelan territory. This is obviously the preparation of a favorable scenario for an escalation of war. This unbridled war coincides, not coincidentally, with the Venezuelan far-right’s objective of carrying out a false flag operation denounced by that country’s government: an attack on the United States embassy in Caracas, with the purpose of using the attack as a casus belli.
The real purpose of the growing military and media onslaught is the old imperial desire to crush the Bolivarian Revolution, control the country’s immense strategic resources, and consolidate dominance over the region, returning it to the era of the Big Stick. For Latin America and the Caribbean, halting the United States government’s warmongering and preserving the continent as a zone of peace are, right now, our most sacred duties. The Venezuelan people and government must know that they have the support of millions of women and men who are aware that the destiny of Our America is tied to the destiny, integrity, and dignity of Venezuela.
