What are some of the biggest lies ever told in Venezuela?

The biggest lies are told not by the average member of the opposition, but by the radical right-wing opposition funded and trained by the US government. These are 10 of the biggest lies published in the US media and circulated here in the social media:
  1. That Venezuela is not democratic and the elections are fraudulent.
  2. That President Maduro is a dictator and narco trafficker and that the government is involved with the FARC sending Colombian cocaine to the US and Europe.
  3. That the US-backed Colombian government is not currently sending its paramilitary fighters to attack both Venezuelan defense forces and civilians in cross border attacks, to destabilize and create mayhem. I receive live stream videos sourced to Venezuelan military intel of the battles currently taking place in Apure State on the Colombian border.
  4. That the majority of Venezuelans do not support President Maduro and his administration. That deception promulgated in the US media is joined with another - that Juan Guaido, a former member of parliament - and leader of the violent guarimbas before then - is the rightful president of Venezuela. With the exception of a handful of radicals in one defunct political party, even the opposition flatly rejects Guaido as a self-proclaimed “president” trained and imposed as such by the US. President Joe Biden and his Secretary of State Antony Blinken continue to support Guaido despite his rejection by Washington's European allies.
  5. That the root cause of the people suffering for a lack of food and medicine is corruption in government rather than the economic blockade, unilateral sanctions, and hybrid warfare by the US government.
  6. That President Maduro and the leaders in his government have stolen money hidden in foreign bank accounts. If the US had evidence of this they would surely headline it, but never do because it doesn't exist.
  7. That the loss of production by PDVSA, the national oil industry, is due to government mismanagement.
  8. That the people are eating cats and dogs and starving to death. Almost all of my many friends are financially poor and many families struggle to put adequate food on the table. But none are starving, thanks to the government subsidies for food, medicine, housing and education.
  9. That Venezuela has no rightful and legal claim of the land and natural resources west of Guyana's Essequibo River where Exxonmobil is illegally drilling for Venezuelan petroleum.
  10. That the Joe Biden regime cares about the suffering of the Venezuelan people and “human rights.
These are only 10 of the most egregious fabrications and outright lies about which I have solid, ample evidence and 15 years of direct daily observations to the contrary. I could list more.
