Maduro Wins Venezuelan Election Despite U.S.- Organized Coup Attempt

It was clear going into the vote, from Maduro’s massively attended political rallies, that he remained their favorite.

Sanctions are a misnomer when it comes to Venezuela. Here, the U.S. isn’t “just” illegally punishing a nation-state to effect regime change by withholding necessary resources and key inputs that cause food shortages, grave illness, death, and economic instability.

In Venezuela, the United States is also committing racketeer-level crimes against its people for not handing over their sovereignty and oil to Washington’s oligarchy on a silver platter, even though Maduro Wins

That is a serious charge. But the proof is in plain sight for anyone not brainwashed by The New York Times, Washington Post, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, Facebook, Google, and the rest of our state-controlled corporate media, which has been infiltrated and corrupted by the CIA.

Venezuela is recognized as having the largest proven oil reserves in the world.

So, when it comes to having their bulletproof electoral process maligned when Maduro wins, electoral results contested, and its results ignored by the United States—a country with an electoral process that is a farce in comparison since it is contested by both its major political parties—the Venezuelan people were not perturbed and still unwaveringly voted their conscience.

Essentially, Washington’s smear campaign against President Maduro failed miserably, as did their extremist puppet leader, Maria Corina Machado’s alleged “threat of violence that will be unleashed with support from abroad” after the election. This threat has President Maduro’s main opponent, Edmundo Gonzalez, supposedly “preparing to flee the country” to Hollywood, Florida, on Monday, July 29.

Voters remember what it is like to live under Washington’s boot and they know the outstanding progress Venezuela has made under Presidents Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro.

So, without much surprise, the people of Venezuela re-elected President Nicolas Maduro on Sunday, July 28, for his third term with 5,150,092 votes (51.2%). The official election results were announced shortly after 12:00 a.m. on July 29.

Maduro’s opponent, who was heavily supported by the U.S., Edmundo González, received 4,445,978 votes, or 44.2% of the total. Voter turnout was approximately 59% of the electorate of over 21.3 million people.
