🇻🇪❗️🇻🇪 — María Corina Machado denounces a brutal crackdown by the regime: more than 50 detained across the country, including Juan Pablo Guanipa, her right-hand man. “This is pure and hard State terrorism.”

"INTERNATIONAL ALERT

The criminal regime of Nicolás Maduro has just kidnapped Juan Pablo Guanipa and more than 50 political and social leaders, human rights defenders, journalists, and activists in a brutal crackdown across the country.

This is pure and outright STATE TERRORISM.

Juan Pablo Guanipa is a BRAVE and HONEST man. He is my friend and my brother. He is an example for all citizens and political leaders, both inside and outside Venezuela.

Venezuelans, make no mistake: THIS IS NOT IN VAIN, we will remove this regime!

To Juan Pablo and all our imprisoned comrades: EVERY moment of our lives is dedicated to achieving your freedom and that of all Venezuela.

Juan Pablo said it himself— THIS IS UNTIL THE END.

Venezuela WILL BE FREE!"

🇨🇺💥— After more than 36 hours without electricity, Cubans in Bayamo (in the eastern part of the island) took to the streets to protest against the communist regime. The regime's leadership has deployed special troops, along with dogs, to crack down on a population fed up with blackouts and misery.

🇺🇸🪖 Preparations for the massive military parade in Washington, D.C. for the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army on June 14th, which also happens to be the 79th birthday of President Donald J. Trump, are in full-swing this week at Fort Cavazos in Killeen, Texas. As soldiers with the 1st Cavalry Division, III Armored Corps were seen loading 28 M1126 Strykers, 28 M2A3 “Bradley” Infantry Fighting Vehicles, 28 M1A2 SEPv3 “Abrams” Main Battle Tanks, and 7 M109A7 “Paladin” Self-Propelled Howitzers onto railcars at Fort Cavazos, bound for Washington.

Next month’s parade in D.C. is expected to be the biggest and most expensive military parade in the nation’s capital city since the National Victory Celebration on June 8, 1991, which celebrated the conclusion of the Gulf War, with cost estimates for the parade placing it between $35-45 million according to officials at the Pentagon. The parade will also be the first to feature tracked-armored vehicles, like tanks, on the streets of Washington, D.C. in decades, with the Department of Defense pledging to place steel plates on roads while also equipping the vehicles with track-pads to prevent damage to roads and bridges along the parade route, one of the major concerns which was raised by city officials in both Washington and Arlington, Virginia.
