Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido has called for a military uprising, in a video shot at a Caracas air base showing him surrounded by soldiers and accompanied by detained activist Leopoldo Lopez.

In the three-minute video shot early Tuesday, Guaido said soldiers who took to the streets would be acting to protect Venezuela’s constitution. He made the comments a day before a planned anti-government rally.

“The moment is now,” he said

Unusual activity being reported at multiple bases and the road to Carlota base has been blocked

Opposition Leader Lopez has been freed from house arrest and is standing with Guaido:

""Cessation of usurpation began today" - Guadio

Mhmm, I wonder how many of CIA’s fingers are in this...

I think if we don't do something Russia and China will. (or already have)
But everyone loves a good proxy war.

I'm guessing a bakers dozen as usual.

Because countries with a totalitarian government have always been improved through a military junta.

APNews has picked it up

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido has called for a military uprising, in a video shot at a Caracas air base showing him surrounded by soldiers and accompanied by detained activist Leopoldo Lopez.

In the three-minute video shot early Tuesday, Guaido said soldiers who took to the streets would be acting to protect Venezuela’s constitution. He made the comments a day before a planned anti-government rally.

“The moment is now,” he said, as his political mentor Lopez and several heavily armed soldiers backed by a single armored vehicle looked on.

Lets see how Russia reacts..

Well something was going to happen.
I think it was either this or the people sack the Capital and eat Maduro and his Govt.

Heck yeah my dude, this is how a good thread is made .
Now, I believe Oshkosh, Honeywell, Dupont and such should be seeing some increased production of logistics and support equipment .
Guessing Royal Dutch shell, ExxonMobil, and bush family companies as well should see increased share prices after the contracts and leases get reassigned.

Yes, #ty things are about to happen. But don't get mad, trade the impending share price increases for profit . Just like we know the cyclical market recessions have buy and sell opportunities, so to does conflict 🤙🍿🍱

Well, not always, but many times yes. Let's just let our tptb flip the coin and see if we as private investors can make a little coin in the process of moving numbers around on a screen 🤣

Looks like the end game has started.

Video posted by Guaido calling for people to take to the streets.


Live feed.


Here's hoping it's quick and casualties are low.

Thanks for posting.

As long as we aren't involved or have a very minimal role, I don't think anyone loses sleep if this is successful with minor damage.

Big Oil must get its money!

a reply to: dfnj2015

Yeah, it has to be about "big oil" doesn't it?

It couldn't be about incomprehensibly corrupt politicians stealing all that oil money for themselves, and at the expense of the people...now could it???

Nope...must be about 'big oil', right???

Some of you guys are a broken record.

Socialism is great, isn't it???

I was watching your live feed link.
There was a bunch of gunfire and tear gas.
Then the camera switched to a weather cam.




NVM. Cam switched back.

I can see where you're coming from. At the same time, Guaido is the one that didn't want impartial poll monitors and is now trying to lead a military junta.

It seems like neither option is good.
