August 1, 2024

It is the fourth day since the electoral fraud occurred in Venezuela. The numbers of those injured, kidnapped, missing and dead increase every hour, while politicians only talk, the same dialogue as every day, some accept that Edmundo Gonzalez is the winner given the clear and concise evidence. Maria Corina Machado made sure that there is a website where you can verify the minutes with the total result of the machine where you voted, the minutes on this website reveal that Edmundo won by a large difference in points. Others keep repeating that Maduro show the minutes, since supposedly the ones he has are the winner, but as expected they create one excuse after another not to show them, today they were supposed to show them at 11am, it was agreed, but again they postponed it.

• • Excerpt from today's press conference: "I have decided to create 2 maximum security prisons for all the new generation gangs that are involved in the riots (protest) and there will be no forgiveness or consideration and I am making a bet to see if these maximum security prisons can re-educate them and turn them into productive farms." - Nicolas Maduro. https://x.com/jarizabaletaf/status/1819139760738496541

Tarek William Saab on the arrests of protesters: "What is happening is good because it purifies society." • • The list of verified and identified arrests as of today, August 1, 2024, amounts to 711 people, of whom 74 are minors.

Yesterday, several young people were sentenced to 6 years in prison for "terrorism." Some were protesting and others were not. Among them, there are 6 who are 16 years old and a 13-year-old girl. They were beaten by the military and are being held.

The actual number of detainees, or rather kidnapped, is higher, since many of those who have been taken have not been allowed to communicate with their families. At this moment, there is a long list of missing persons. Family members are desperate, scared and very distressed, searching in all police stations or military barracks for their sons, daughters, cousins, brothers, husbands, wives. • • Maria Corina Machado wrote in the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal: "They could arrest me while I write these words"

BREAKING: US DECLARES GONZÁLEZ VICTOR IN VENEZUELA ELECTION, REJECTS MADURO'S CLAIM

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken has issued a statement challenging Venezuela's official election results, declaring opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia as the true winner of the July 28 presidential election.

Blinken states that the National Electoral Council's declaration of Maduro's victory is "deeply flawed" and lacks credibility.

He cites opposition-published tally sheets from over 80% of polling stations, indicating González won by an "insurmountable margin," corroborated by independent observers and exit polls.

The U.S. applauds the 12 million Venezuelans who voted despite challenges and rejects Maduro's allegations against opposition leaders.

Blinken calls for the release of those arrested for peaceful participation and urges a peaceful transition. Source: U.S. Department of State • • A group of Venezuelans gathered in front of the White House to denounce the murders and intimidation taking place in Venezuela.

The Faculty of Legal and Political Sciences of the UCV says:

WITHOUT VERIFIED TOTALIZATION THERE CAN BE NO PROCLAMATION

Last Monday the 29th, the president of the National Electoral Council, without the presence of any of the other rectors, proclaimed the current president of the republic, Nicolás Maduro, as president-elect in the elections held the previous day. This proclamation occurred when an alleged Partial Totalization Bulletin had barely been issued, which was not issued by the Automated Totalization System and in which 20% of the minutes were missing to be scrutinized.

Thus, the president of the CNE failed to comply with the Organic Law of Electoral Processes and its Regulations, since before the proclamation he had to wait for the issuance of the Final Totalization Bulletin that reflects the definitive electoral results. No candidate could be awarded victory without having scrutinized all the records issued by the Electoral Tables.

Much less, the president of the CNE could alone issue an Act of Totalization, Adjudication and Proclamation, without being accompanied by the rest of the main rectors of the electoral body and the other witnesses of the candidates.

Consequently, said proclamation did not comply with the electoral legislation because it was made by an authority that exceeded its powers and invaded those of the electoral body, which is a collegiate body, and whose effects become null. The CNE must adhere to the law, carrying out the totalization of the votes and the awarding of the position to be elected in accordance with the tally sheets issued by the polling stations; and only then proceed to the proclamation and accreditation of the winner. All of this must be done through the automated totalization system of the CNE itself, and with the minutes that both the CNE itself and the representatives of the competing candidates already have in their hands. Only in this way can confidence be generated in the electorate that their will has been respected.

It is the exclusive responsibility of the CNE, as the governing body of the Electoral Power, to complete the electoral procedure already begun. The courts of the Republic completely lack jurisdiction until the National Electoral Council has totalized, awarded and proclaimed the winner in full compliance with the law, which it has not yet done.

This situation has generated total rejection by the majority of the country's political actors; alert in the International Community and shock in public opinion, as well as a strong protest in the popular sectors who consider their vote mocked with the results announced by the CNE, all of which brings a climate of uncertainty the instability that benefits no one. The peace of the Nation requires that popular sovereignty be respected and obeyed without delay.

The Venezuelan government has resorted to the deceptive application of criminal regulations to persecute, for political reasons, the population that demands respect for its electoral will. It is already a public communication fact that arbitrary arrests, executions, raids and murders are carried out by police and military forces, which constitute serious and systematic violations of human rights and could even constitute crimes against humanity.

We urge international human rights organizations to exercise constant vigilance and demand from the Venezuelan government the immediate cessation of political persecution and arbitrary detentions, as well as the dissolution of irregular armed groups (collectives) and unrestricted respect for human rights. civil and political liberties.

Kapersky, one of the world's leading cybersecurity companies, denies the tyrant of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro: "Venezuela has not registered any cyberattacks in the most recent global monitoring." In previous days, the regime excused itself by saying that it did not have the records because it had suffered a "cyber attack" from Macedonia. The government of North Macedonia denies the statements of the Venezuelan dictatorship, after prosecutor Tarek William Saab reported a hacking of the CNE from that country. In connection with the announcements of alleged statements by the Venezuelan authorities that during the elections held on 07/28/2024, alleged DDOS computer attacks occurred by users of Macedonian IP addresses, the Ministry of the Interior informs the public that The Department of Computer Crimes follows the evolution of the alleged accusations against Macedonian citizens and we also declare that so far, the Venezuelan authorities have not received requests or information about the above to carry out further controls on our part.

We also inform the public that even the appearance of Macedonian IP addresses in some suspected attack does not mean that they originally come from Macedonia, that is, based on previous experience, we can inform that there is a high probability that they use VPN (Virtual Private Networks) or they are part of a larger BotNet network, i.e. they come from so-called infected zombie computers, which have been compromised by hackers using computer viruses or malware and can perform assigned tasks controlled remotely by individuals or a group of potential hackers .

The most common victims of this type of zombie computers are people who do not know that their computer systems are infected with malicious software and, without their knowledge and consent, DDoS attacks are carried out, which represent a malicious attempt to disrupt normal computer traffic. Internet of a certain place. server, service or network to access a specific target at the same time with the aim of blocking it, overloading it.

The Nicolás Maduro regime created an app called VenApp, which allowed Chavistas to report their neighbors if they protested against the government. Within hours, it was removed from the Play Store and Apple, due to thousands of reports.
