María Corina Machado, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition to president Nicolás Maduro, was arrested and briefly detained Thursday by government security forces after leaving a demonstration in the capital of Caracas. Machado, who has been in hiding for months to evade capture by the government, showed herself in public again Thursday to rally the opposition before the inauguration of Maduro on Friday, January 10. The Venezuelan opposition contends, based on receipts from voting machines obtained by poll watchers at 85 percent of polling locations, that Maduro lost the election to opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia. González, a former ambassador, was tapped by Machado to run for president after she was disqualified by a Venezuelan court from running herself shortly before the election. After publicizing her attendance at a protest in the capital, Machado attempted to leave the demonstration in a group of motorcycles. She was almost immediately confronted by government forces, who opened fire on the convoy, wounding one of her bodyguards. Machado was then detained and obliged to record a number of short videos, but has since been freed. Machado and the remainder of the opposition leadership have been attempting to mount a campaign of civil disobedience to force the Maduro government to recognize the election of González, who fled the country for Spain in 2023 but who has announced his intention to return to the country and be sworn in Friday as president of Venezuela. González, who was in the Dominican Republic when Machado was arrested, has been on a regional tour attempting to obtain support from abroad. The tour included a visit to president Joe Biden at the White House. Maduro is expected to be sworn in Friday. No foreign leaders will be in attendance.

On January 7, 2024, NZ and the MRNA @HopeRising19 writes: https://x.com/HopeRising19/status/1876701591274938791 Hey Mark Zuckerberg.... Before you just "move on" with your cheery new free speech Facebook utopia... I just want to remind you of the harm that you meted out to some of the most vulnerable Kiwi's in the past four years. Remember when you deplatformed The Health Forum NZ, with nearly 60,000 members, in 2022? We were the sanctuary (the literal life saving sane space) for tens of thousands of New Zealanders experiencing harm from the Pfizer mRNA. We were the refuge for those struggling with terrifying neurological and cardiac damage....and for the family members of injured people. We were a place of comfort for the families who were grieving the loss of a loved one who died following their Covid injection. Then when New Zealand enforced Covid vaccine employment mandates on almost 50% of employed people, we became the community that supported those who refused to comply and lost their job. Remember, we were the group printing emerging pre print science (along with as much peer reviewed science as we could find) on the safety (not) and efficacy (not) of the mRNA. Remember...we were the group where you repeatedly banned ME for posting science about vitamin D, zinc, vitamin C and reduced Covid risk? Remember...we were the group admitting 400 to 500 new members A DAY when you removed us. As you move on to free speech utopia, just know there are MILLIONS of people the world over who will never, ever, ever, ever forget what you did. ......................
