Soldiers and armoured vehicles were seen in Venezuelan capital amid reports of a coup attempt.
Heavy gunfire was reported outside the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas on Monday, just days after President Nicolas Maduro was abducted during a US special forces raid.
Videos posted on social media show armed soldiers and armored vehicles outside government buildings.
There are also reports of explosions and the activation of air-defense guns. AFP, citing its sources in Venezuela, said “the situation is under control.”
AFP’s sources added that security forces opened fire in response to unidentified drones flying over Miraflores.

Troops were mobilised after US commandos captured Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on Saturday and transported them to New York, where both were indicted on drug-trafficking charges. Maduro’s close ally, Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, was appointed interim president. She condemned the US operation as an “imperialist attack.”
Maduro denied all charges when he was brought before a US judge on Monday, describing himself as “a prisoner of war.” Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said the US had launched “a colonial war” to pillage Venezuela’s natural resources. “Today, it was Venezuela. Tomorrow, it can be any other country that decides to exercise its sovereignty,” he added.
The US proxies trying to seize power? Will they succeed? Either ways instability and war, are most likely that nations future. Compliments of the Neo Nazi’s from the “land of free”, as long as you do what we tell you.

Oy Vey, divide and conquer.
Another subversive revolution instituted by the global terrorist.
One solution for the small:
Spread the word – “STOP FEEDING THE BEAST”
Give up your Teva’s, your Coca Cola, your Netflix. Starve it.

And tend a garden.
Lol. Security forces scramble and declare the situation under control, while previously their fuggin President was supposedly kidnapped by foreign forces and extradited with zero resistance. What a rubbish script.
Pepe Escobar has bought up a very important point
