PART ONE
Title: "Venezuela: The Absurd Saga of Narco-Terrorist Governance"
Introduction:
In the theatrical landscape of Venezuelan politics, where absurdity reigns and the norm is corruption as a social culture, the appointment of Alex Saab, a notorious figure in the Venezuelan narco cartel, as a senior member in dialogues with the opposition, paints a surreal picture. Welcome to the revolutionary, narco-terrorist Republic of Absurdistan, where Nicolas Maduro orchestrates negotiations with a divided opposition, all under the watchful eyes of international players like Norway, Qatar, and the US.
Act 1: The Tragicomic Theatre of Absurdistan
From the era of Hugo Chavez, the architect of the narcoterrorist revolution, a script was laid out—a sinister concoction of terror, survival, extreme populism, and a pervasive injection of corruption into the societal bloodstream. Influenced by mentors like Fidel Castro and leaders of the Iranian regime, this script became the manual for controlling a nation. The strategy: divide the opposition through betrayals, manipulate elections, and control every aspect of the political stage.
Act 2: Maduro's Pervasive Grip
Nicolas Maduro, Chavez's successor, skillfully executed this script. The Venezuelan population, weary from countless betrayals, manipulations, and street protests met with violence, found itself entangled in a web of controlled elections and constant governmental corruption. The result? A population subjugated, an opposition divided, and a narco-terrorist regime firmly in control.
The Characters: Alex Saab and Camilla Fabbri
Enter Alex Saab, a powerful figure in the Venezuelan narco cartel, and Camilla Fabbri, an Italian fugitive. These characters, seemingly plucked from a crime novel, are now key players in negotiations with the opposition. The tragicomic nature of Absurdistan becomes clearer as Maduro strategically places these figures at the forefront, blurring the lines between criminal enterprises and political dialogues.
International Players: Norway, Qatar, and the US
As the absurd drama unfolds, international actors like Norway, Qatar, and the US play their roles. The global community watches as negotiations with a narco-terrorist regime unfold, questioning the motives behind such engagements.
Conclusion: A Narco-Terrorist Republic in the Spotlight
In the theater of Absurdistan, where corruption and narco-terrorism intertwine with political dialogue, the spotlight is on Nicolas Maduro's regime. The international community grapples with the paradoxical nature of negotiations with figures like Alex Saab, highlighting the intricate dance between political strategy and criminal enterprises. Only time will tell how this absurd saga unfolds on the global stage, leaving us to ponder the true cost of engaging with the revolutionary Republic of Absurdistan.

Title: "Venezuela's Population: A Mosaic of Struggle and Survival"
Introduction:
Examining the population of Venezuela reveals a complex and multifaceted society shaped by political turmoil, resistance, and the consequences of authoritarian rule. This article aims to categorize the diverse segments of the Venezuelan population, offering insights into their motivations, struggles, and aspirations.
Act 1: The True Leaders
At the pinnacle are those who chose to leave, often considered the true leaders. Faced with a corrupt and perilous national landscape, these individuals, numbering over 8 million, embarked on journeys abroad, dedicating their skills and expertise to professions outside the country. They form a diaspora of talent, contributing to economies worldwide while harboring a shared vision of reclaiming Venezuela's future.
Act 2: The Fighters
In this segment, we find the courageous fighters—university students, women, and individuals who took to the streets in protest against the oppressive regime. Their voices grew louder as they faced violence and persecution. Hundreds paid the ultimate price, becoming martyrs for the cause, while thousands endured torture and imprisonment. This group remains scarred by the betrayals of a corrupt opposition leadership.

Act 3: The Abandoned
Comprising the majority, the abandoned are those who, at some point, glimpsed hope amid civil resistance and protests. However, the dream of a free Venezuela was shattered by the relentless grip of tyranny. Many have left, or hope to leave, their homeland, surrendering their aspirations for freedom and justice in the face of a nation marred by corruption and betrayal.
Act 4: The Revolutionaries
Forced into a state of survival, the revolutionaries navigate the perils of supporting a regime that simultaneously oppresses and sustains them. Living off meager allowances, they endure the slow erosion of their lives. Victims of a perverse virus—authoritarianism—they become unwitting contributors to a history marked by banana republic antics and bloodthirsty rulers in Latin America.
Conclusion:
The population of Venezuela, divided among leaders, fighters, the abandoned, and revolutionaries, is a testament to the country's tumultuous journey. As each segment grapples with its unique struggles, the collective hope endures for a Venezuela free from tyranny, corruption, and the shadows of betrayal. The story of Venezuela's population continues to unfold, a mosaic reflecting resilience, resistance, and the quest for a brighter future.
PART THREE
Title: Between Elections, Freedom Fights, and Sanctions: Unraveling the Complex Tapestry of Venezuela's Reality
Introduction:
Venezuela stands at a critical juncture as it navigates the precarious terrain between controversial elections, persistent freedom struggles, and the imposing weight of international sanctions. This article dissects the multifaceted layers of Venezuela's recent history, offering a glimpse into the challenges and complexities that define the nation's current narrative.
Act 1: The Ill-Fated Elections
The upcoming 2024 presidential elections in Venezuela symbolize La Salida, a potential route recognized by the international community to guide the nation towards a less tumultuous future. Despite poorly organized attempts at civil and armed resistance over the last decade, the oppressive regime successfully thwarted most efforts. Sanctions, imposed by some nations, aimed to weaken Chavista structures but yielded limited success.
Act 2: International Sanctions and Justice
The international community responded by imposing sanctions on regime leaders and exposing criminals. This tangible action against money launderers, drug traffickers, and terrorists showcased concrete efforts to hold the Venezuelan government accountable. However, these measures did little to alter the regime's trajectory, leaving Venezuela trapped in a cycle of crime and corruption.
Act 3: Alex Saab's Release
The unexpected release of Alex Saab, a powerful figure in the Venezuelan narco cartel, has sent shockwaves through international circles. Maduro's move to integrate Saab into negotiations with the opposition regarding the 2024 elections raises concerns. It appears to be a brazen attempt to mock the USA and the global community unsupportive of his narco-revolution.
Act 4: Illusion of Presidential Elections
Amidst this turmoil, doubts loom over the authenticity of the 2024 presidential elections. Negotiations, veiled as elections, seem poised to secure immunity for criminals within the regime. While the negotiation scenarios are varied, the regime's operators show no intent to relinquish power without ensuring their protection from prosecution.
Conclusion:
The complex dance between elections, freedom fights, and sanctions in Venezuela paints a convoluted geopolitical picture. As international actors grapple with the intricacies of this unfolding drama, it is increasingly challenging to decipher this new form of geopolitics. Venezuela, in its pursuit of normality, remains entangled in a web of power struggles, negotiations, and a quest for justice that continues to elude its grasp.
