'EL POLLO' CARVAJAL EXTRADITION TO US SUSPENDED, EXPECTED TO PROCEED SHORTLY
A longtime official under the Hugo Chávez governments, Carvajal publicly broke with the Bolivarian process in 2017 before declaring himself a “soldier” of self-proclaimed “interim president” Juan Guaidó’s cause in 2019. The former lawmaker and army general became an outspoken critic of the Nicolás Maduro government, which he describes as “betraying” Chávez’s legacy. Carvajal even went as far as calling for the armed forces to stage a coup in 2019.
The former intelligence chief claims to be in possession of “valuable information” allegedly incriminating the Maduro government and entourage and reports to have shared it with the UN Human Rights Council and the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC is currently considering opening an investigation into the Maduro government for alleged crimes against humanity.

CRISIS & CRITIQUE: US BACK TO 'MAXIMUM PRESSURE' WITH SAAB EXTRADITION
For some, it has proved difficult to fight for a businessman as rich as Saab, especially considering that he rarely entered the public limelight. Saab benefited from Venezuelan state contracts and enjoyed privileged conditions to acquire state assets that had been nationalized for the people by Hugo Chávez. These included [supermarket chain] Abastos Bicentenario.
However, Washington’s double standards in the case are stark.

NEW INVESTIGATION REVEALS CIA KNEW ABOUT OPERATION GIDEON BUT FAILED TO STOP IT
The involvement of US authorities has long been suspected, with Goudreau, head of the security contractor Silvercorp, having previously claimed that he had support from the White House and held meetings with officials at the Trump Hotel in Washington DC and the Trump Doral resort in Florida.
“[I]n the winter of 2020, according to two sources aware of the background machinations surrounding Operation Gideon, a representative of the CIA approached Goudreau somewhere on an undisclosed Carribean island [...] as he was putting together the doomed plot. They brought a clear message: end Operation Gideon; if it is launched, the U.S. government will offer zero support,” wrote Makuch.

VENEZUELAN CAMPESINOS DENOUNCE DIESEL PRICE HIKE, LACK OF GOV'T SUPPORT
Venezuela’s Campesino Struggle Platform denounced that a number of state-owned gas stations have begun to sell diesel at US $0.50 per liter.
In a communique issued on October 26, the rural movements emphasized that elevating diesel prices represents a “devastating blow” for thousands of small and midsize food producers, with increased costs falling upon consumers.

AS CHÁVEZ SAID, ‘LET’S NOT CHANGE THE CLIMATE, LET’S CHANGE THE SYSTEM!’: A CONVERSATION WITH MAX AJL
This week and through November 12, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) takes place in Glasgow, Scotland. COP26 brings together heads of state and other prominent figures to talk about climate change. However, the conference won’t address the central environmental problem: capitalism. In this interview we talk to Max Ajl, author of A People’s Green New Deal (Pluto Press, 2021), which examines the capitalist roots of the environmental crisis, and addresses its impact on countries of the Global South such as Venezuela.

VENEZUELAN CAMPESINOS DENOUNCE DIESEL PRICE HIKE, LACK OF GOV'T SUPPORT
The countryside organizations asked President Nicolás Maduro to clarify these measures and called for national mobilizations to prevent the new diesel cost imposition. No date for the march had been announced at the time of writing.
According to users, on Monday, a selected number of gas stations across the country began selling previously-subsidized diesel at the $0.50 “international price” after receiving authorization from a state oil company PDVSA general manager. The company’s president and the Oil Ministry have yet to confirm if the measure will be permanent and applied nationwide.

AS CHÁVEZ SAID, ‘LET’S NOT CHANGE THE CLIMATE, LET’S CHANGE THE SYSTEM!’: A CONVERSATION WITH MAX AJL
The great majority of progressive proposals take aim neither at capitalism nor imperialism. In fact, they are often blind to them. If we want to change the world-system, we need to have a sense of what it is. In the most general sense, drawing on Samir Amin, we can say that it is a system of polarized accumulation, producing great mountains of wealth, on the one hand, and far larger seas of poverty, on the other. That is a feature and not a bug of the system: the wealth accumulated at the core of the system is stolen from the periphery. To change that type of world-system, you need first of all to strike at the current mechanisms of value transfer from periphery to core.

The official start of the campaign saw rallies, marches, convoys and protests held across the country, as well as a flurry of activity on social media. Nearly 21.2 million voters are eligible to participate later this month in the last scheduled ballot before the 2024 presidential race.

US DROPS SEVEN CHARGES AGAINST ALEX SAAB AS PART OF DEAL WITH CAPE VERDE
A US judge dismissed all but one charge against Venezuelan government envoy Alex Saab as part of a deal between the United States and the Republic of Cape Verde to facilitate his extradition. Saab still faces one count of conspiracy to launder money, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if found guilty.
Court filings on Monday revealed that Saab’s controversial extradition to the US was made contingent on assurances to Cape Verde that he would face no more than 20 years imprisonment, the maximum allowed by the African country’s laws. The seven other charges of money laundering, dismissed by US District Judge Robert Scola, would have each also carried up to 20 years in prison.

"The political nature of this case is becoming increasingly clear. It is clearly a kidnapping,” stated Venezuelan Vice President for Communications Alfred Nazareth Ñáñez.
The extradition of Saab had immediate political repercussions, with the Venezuelan government pulling out of talks with the US-backed opposition. Caracas had recently appointed the businessman as a delegate at the Mexico-based talks, which were due to enter their fourth round the day after his extradition. Writer and activist Leonardo Flores argued the extradition was a subtle effort by the US to “sabotage” the dialogue efforts.

BALANCE OF FORCES IN THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS: A CONVERSATION WITH CLODOVALDO HERNÁNDEZ
The ruling socialist party [PSUV], despite having amply won the parliamentary elections of December of last year, still suffered a substantial drop in electoral participation when compared to the 2018 presidential elections. The recently deceased William Izarra did the math: the PSUV dropped from 6.2 million in 2018 to 3.5 million in 2020. In other words, 2.7 million people – or 32.9% – stopped voting PSUV.
However, only the November election results will demonstrate the real impact of the unilateral coercive measures on Chavismo as a political movement. As for the impact on the people, I agree that it has been devastating. The hardest-hit sector is the one that is not able to get an income in US dollars, while those who have secured dollar incomes are experiencing a relative improvement in their living conditions.
