US Regime Change Blueprint Proposed Venezuelan Electricity Blackouts as “Watershed Event” for “Galvanizing Public Unrest”

The US-funded CANVAS organization that trained Juan Guaido and his allies produced a 2010 memo on exploiting electricity outages and urged the opposition “to take advantage of the situation…towards their needs”

(By Max Blumenthal)

A September 2010 memo by a US-funded soft power organization that helped train Venezuelan coup leader Juan Guaido and his allies identifies the potential collapse of the country’s electrical sector as “a watershed event” that “would likely have the impact of galvanizing public unrest in a way that no opposition group could ever hope to generate.”

The memo has special relevance today as Guaido moves to exploit nationwide blackouts caused by a major failure at the Simon Bolivar Hydroelectric Plant at Guri dam – a crisis that Venezuela’s government blames on US sabotage.

It was authored by Srdja Popovic of the Center for Applied Non-Violent Action and Strategies (CANVAS), a Belgrade-based “democracy promotion” organization funded by the US government that has trained thousands of US-aligned youth activists in countries where the West seeks regime change.

This group reportedly hosted Guaido and the key leaders of his Popular Will party for a series of training sessions, fashioning them into a “Generation 2007” determined to foment resistance to then-President Hugo Chavez and sabotage his plans to implement “21st century socialism” in Venezuela.

CANVAS is a tool of US imperialism that we should be studying. It's an 'activist' training organizsation which grew out of OTPOR, the organisation which led the overthrow of the government of Miloševic. Currently they're closely involved in Venezuela and elsewhere

 Quoting: Pacifica


Guaidó's decision to enter Venezuela illegally follow's CANVAS's handbook perfectly. It creates a 'Dilemma Action', where either response by Venezuela's government is exploitable

Dilemma actions can target an oppressive ban, law or
social practice. Personalizing the target of a dilemma
action, especially against unpopular leaders, may put your
opponent in an even more difficult position.

To be effective, dilemma actions should be widely known
to the population and permit widespread participation. It
may also help if they are led by popular opposition leaders
or celebrities.

Historically, dilemma actions have proven to be very
important to nonviolent movements. They frequently have
been used to expand political space and to give movements
small victories that help them build momentum and a
record of success.

Maduro should put a price on Guweedo's head.
