I saw a headline in a Venezuelan newspaper about activists occupying the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington D.C. A quick Twitter check and I find out that it is our old friends from Code Pink.

he activists haven’t been home in two weeks.

Since April 10, the group of eight has been camped out 24 hours a day in the Venezuelan Embassy on 30th Street Northwest in Georgetown. They’ve been sleeping on couches, exiting and entering the premises for food and necessities with key cards provided by the country’s diplomatic representatives. They plan to stay as long as they must.

“I’m 67 years old, and I’ve seen too much already of my government screwing things up in other countries,” says Medea Benjamin, one of the activists taking up residence in the embassy and the co-founder of antiwar organization Code Pink. “And I’ve seen personally decades of war in Latin America and how utterly devastating it is … and I just can’t abide by sitting and watching as my government helps engineer another coup in Latin America that will lead to decades of violence.”

Activists Have Been Living In The Venezuelan Embassy For Two Weeks

Code Pink love affair with the Chavez Revolution goes back some years as we can see from the picture below:

And yes, there is a problem with the diplomatic legations since Venezuela is sporting two presidents and two legislatures. The Maduro loyalists are the ones originally appointed to the locations, but since many countries, including the US recognize Guaido, the old diplomatic set up is invalid. What I do know is that voluntarily relinquishing the Embassy grounds to foreign nationals is a crime under Venezuela law., but I doubt the Maduro Legal System is going to give a crap.

And if you want to laugh some, Code Pink is illegally under control of the Embassy and they are de facto invading Venezuela Territory.
And are also officially Illegal Aliens.

So much for Maduro and the Revolution defending Venezuela’s sovereignty.
