<p>A new episode in the false flag operation being waged
against the Venezuelan government to justify a foreign
intervention, happened on the Francisco de Paula
Santander International Bridge that links Venezuela and
Colombia.</p>
<blockquote>

Operation at Border with Colombia</a></strong></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Two out of the four trucks with alleged "humanitarian
aid" from USAID, which were trying to illegally enter
Venezuela, were burned at the border between the two
countries. The burning trucks were on the Colombian side
of the Francisco de Paula Santander Bridge where
Venezuelan opposition leaders have been leading
protests.</p>
<p>According to witnesses, violent right-wing opposition
members torched the trucks with Molotov cocktails and
then tried to incriminate the Bolivarian National Guard
(GNB) and the Bolivarian National Police (PNB).
teleSUR's Madelein Garcia, reported that the trucks were
supposedly trying to enter Venezuela, but were
then burned on the part of the bridge that belongs to
Colombia.</p>
<p>The version if events saying that the trucks burned due
to a "teargas bomb", which are not incendiary devices,
has been circulating on Colombian and international
media networks and on social media.</p>
<p>In addition, some people were trying to illegally enter
Venezuela using Red Cross jackets, despite not being
affiliated with the international medical organization.
The Red Cross has already officially rejected these
attempts by the U.S. to deliver politicized
"humanitarian aid."</p>
<p>The International Federation of Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies has stated on its certified Twitter
account that they have noticed "some people not
affiliated with Red Cross Colombia and Red Cross
Venezuela wearing Red Cross emblems at the
Colombia-Venezuela and Brazil-Venezuela border."</p>

<p>The International organization has urged these people "
to stop doing this. They might mean well but they risk
jeopardizing our neutrality, impartiality &
independence."</p>
<p>Also Saturday morning another false flag operation was
denounced by the Venezuelan government. A group of
low-level soldiers of the Venezuelan National Guard
Saturday took over multiple armored vehicles that belong
to the Venezuelan army and rammed them into border
barriers at the Venezuelan-Colombian border in a staged
operation ordered by right-wing opposition members in
Colombia.</p>
<p>During a massive demonstration in favor of peace and
democracy in Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro
declared the coup d'etat defeated because of the unity
of civil society with the military.</p>
