In its prolonged freezing of Venezuelan assets, the UK continues to withhold 31 tons of its gold stored at the Bank of England, with a new Supreme Court ruling supporting the seizure

Like most duplicitous corporate media, CNN pushed the narrative that Nicolas Maduro isn't actually Venezuela's elected president (he "claimed" the "widely disputed" election)... he is president, and "Venezuela's election process has been recognized as transparent and effective, with former US President Jimmy Carter in 2012 calling it 'the best in the world.' On the other hand, the Venezuelan opposition, as well as Western nations, have interfered with and attempted to sabotage elections." In any case, the UK court, drawing on, the 'one voice principle', decided that because UK leaders like Boris Johnson regard the unbeloved Guaidó as 'interim president', he therefore, inexplicably, is – in spite of most of the world not recognizing him as such. So, Venezuela's "31 tons of gold deposited at the Bank of England," remains captive.

'This is the last bar and it's going to the UK for safekeeping'

Meanwhile, script-reading legacy media are echoing one another in claiming that Venezuela has no right to its own gold, disingenuously promoting the false premise that Guaidó is Venezuela's president. The BBC- 'UK Supreme Court denies Maduro claim to Venezuelan gold'. 'UK Supreme Court thwarts Maduro's bid to control $1.9bn Venezuela gold.' How very benevolent of the UK courts to thwart the dastardly elected president of a nation whose population it is allied with the US in relentlessly punishing. As any good stooge of imperialism does, Guaidó – the Western puppet previously-unknown to the world, and largely unknown within Venezuela before his self-appointment as 'president' – pops up when needed, aka when the US and allies want to hurt the Venezuelan people even further.
