The socialist regime in Venezuela briefly detained opposition leader María Corina Machado amid gunshots on Thursday after she made her first public appearance in months.
Machado, who leads Venezuela’s only mainstream center-right party, Vente Venezuela, remained in hiding for months facing threats of arrest after the socialist regime issued an arrest warrant against exiled opposition presidential candidate Edmundo González, forcing him to flee to Spain in September. Over the past year, dozens of Vente Venezuela members, including key staff members of Machado’s team, have been persecuted and arbitrarily imprisoned by the Maduro regime.
Machado publicly reappeared in Caracas on Thursday afternoon to participate in one of the nationwide peaceful protests that the opposition convened to protest against socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro’s new illegitimately obtained six-year term following his “victory” in the fraudulent July 28 presidential election.
González, a 75-year-old former diplomat, was recognized by the United States and other countries as the winner of that election after the opposition presented voter tallies obtained on the day of the sham election they claim could demonstrate Maduro lost in a landslide.
Maduro was sworn in as president by Jorge Rodríguez, the head of the regime-controlled National Assembly on Friday morning. González, who also planned to be inaugurated as president on Friday, is not in Venezuela at press time. The Venezuelan opposition reportedly insisted that González will be inaugurated as president in Venezuela on Friday despite his absence, but insisted it “cannot give up the strategies” it would use to make that happen.

🫓 Interesting distribution chain of the video in which Machado says she’s alright.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
