This is a movie I’ve been working on, please share if you can. Our indiegogo link is down below. This is a film by Graey Zone productions.

In 2010, a group that trained Juan Guaido and other opposition leaders produced a memo that identified the electric grid as a weakness that would one day present an opening for the opposition to exploit for their gain, speculating that over half of the country’s electricity could be lost in that time. The memo is now timely given Guaido’s rise to prominence and the widespread blackouts in the country.

Max Blumenthal also breaks down Marco Rubio’s remarkably prescient and depthful knowledge about what occurred with Venezuela’s power grid, knowing that the backup generators were non-functional before local authorities knew. At roughly the same time, we see Juan Guaido suggesting that the power will return once Maduro is removed from office while also calling for foreign military intervention into the country’s affairs.

Many will look at Maduro’s claims that the American government has caused the blackouts as conspiratorial and far-fetched, but this well-cited article demonstrates that his accusations against the United States are actually fairly plausible.

The point here is that none of this is happening by chance: either the power grid was going to run into problems or the United States was going to create a problem with the power grid; Juan Guaido is not some random legislator, he has been cultivated for this role; discussions about how best to unseat the leader of Venezuela--whether Chavez or Maduro--has been discussed openly and behind the scenes for over a decade; and this very scenario has long been identified as a huge opportunity--a “watershed event”--to exploit in order to advance regime change.

A September 2010 memo by a U.S.-funded soft power organization that helped train Venezuelan coup leader Juan Guaidó and his allies identifies the potential collapse of the country’s electrical sector as “a watershed event” that “would likely have the impact of galvanizing public unrest in a way that no opposition group could ever hope to generate.”

The memo has special relevance today as Guaidó moves to exploit nationwide blackouts caused by a major failure at the Simon Bolivar Hydroelectric Plant at Guri dam – a crisis that Venezuela’s government blames on U.S. sabotage. 

It was authored by Srdja Popovic of the Center for Applied Non-Violent Action and Strategies (CANVAS), a Belgrade-based “democracy promotion” organization funded by the U.S. that has trained thousands of U.S.-aligned youth activists in countries where the West seeks regime change.

This group reportedly hosted Guaidó and the key leaders of his Popular Will party for a series of training sessions, fashioning them into a “Generation 2007” determined to foment resistance to then-President Hugo Chavez and sabotage his plans to implement “21st century socialism” in Venezuela.

"Washington’s claim that Venezuela’s government has refused humanitarian aid is a gigantic lie. Kei Pritsker explains how the US deployed a mere $20 million in aid as a Trojan Horse for regime change."
