Maduro blames US, Musk for leading Coup Attempts in Venezuela. The CIA Network…
by Gospa News Editorial Staff
The United States and American entrepreneur Elon Musk are behind the failed coup attempt in Venezuela, the Bolivarian republic’s President Nicolas Maduro told a news conference.
“It is a coup orchestrated by the United States and [entrepreneur] Elon Musk, [Argentinian President Javier] Milei and other <…> right-wing fascists,” Maduro said.
“They are attempting to direct a sequel of the `Guaido’ movie,” the Venezuelan leader said, referring to the 2019 events when a US-led group of countries recognized the powers of Juan Guaido who had declared himself president of Venezuela.
“They used the election campaign in an effort to establish a new force,” Maduro said as he called on Venezuelans not to allow themselves to be dragged into another coup.

The presidential election was held in Venezuela on July 28. The National Electoral Council announced after counting almost 97% of ballots that Maduro was supported by 51.95% of voters. His rival, Edmundo Gonzalez from far-right opposition, garnered 43.18%. As early as on the election day, opposition leader Corina Machado said Gonzalez’s campaign team would not recognize the election results.
Musk and the CIA try to Overthrow the New Democratically Elected Government in Venezuela
Because the U.S. did not back Maduro during the elections, but instead his opponent, Edmundo González Urrutia, the U.S. did what it usually does when their favorite candidate did not win, and employed the U.S. Mocking Bird media to run smear campaigns against the winner, while the CIA has allegedly taken measures to try and depose him, which has now caused riots in Venezuela.
«This is how “democracy” is defined in the United States today. It means regardless of what the people want as voting citizens in their own country, if they do not choose the candidate that the U.S. and the CIA want in power, then they will do everything they can to cause a coup, and getting the U.S. Media to print their lies, which of course today also includes Elon Musk’s X platform» reported Brian Shilhavy, Editor of Health Impact News
So with almost one voice, both on the Left and on the Right, the U.S. Media has declared that the elections in Venezuela were “not fair”, as they claim that “other countries” also agree with them that the elections were “corrupt.”
Of course many “other countries” have also congratulated Maduro and accepted the election results, such as Russia and China.
They are basing their claims on exit polls done in Venezuela by the US government-linked firm out of New Jersey named “Edison Research,” which has reported links to the CIA.
Ben Norton, writing for the Geopolitical Economy Report, has highlighted this company and their history of use in other elections outside of the U.S. Venezuela’s opposition has claimed that it won the July 28 election, accusing President Nicolás Maduro of “fraud”.
US gov’t-linked firm is source of exit poll claiming Venezuelan opposition won election
The supposed evidence that Venezuelan opposition leaders and their allies have cited to justify this claim is an exit poll produced by a firm that is closely linked to the US government and does work for US state propaganda outlets that were founded by the CIA.
A New Jersey-based company called Edison Research published an exit poll on the day of the election projecting that right-wing candidate Edmundo González Urrutia would win with 65% of the vote, compared to just 31% for Maduro.
This poll was cited by Venezuela’s far-right, US-backed opposition leader Leopoldo López, as well as by billionaire oligarch Elon Musk and Western media outlets like the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and Reuters.
Many polling firms inside Venezuela are run by opposition figures and are notorious for their political bias. The most respectable independent firm in the country is the pollster Hinterlaces, which estimated in its exit poll that Maduro got 54.6% of the vote, compared to 42.8% for González.
Venezuela’s National Electoral Council (CNE) ultimately reported that Maduro won the election with 51.2% of the vote, whereas González received 44.2%, and eight other opposition candidates got 4.6% combined. These results were close to what Hinterlaces projected, but very far off from what Edison Research claimed.
«The US State Department, which has backed numerous coup attempts in Venezuela, refused to recognize Maduro’s victory. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the results into question» Ben Norton wrote for the Geopolitical Economy Report,
On the other hand, independent electoral observers said the vote was free and fair. Monitors from the US National Lawyers Guild wrote that their delegation in Venezuela “observed a transparent, fair voting process with scrupulous attention to legitimacy, access to the polls, and pluralism”. They strongly condemned the opposition’s “attacks on the electoral system as well as the role of the US in undermining the democratic process”.
Although Edison Research’s exit poll has been widely cited by the US media to cast doubt upon Venezuela’s electoral results, it is by no means an impartial observer.
In fact, Edison’s top clients include CIA-linked US government propaganda outlets Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks, all of which are operated by the US Agency for Global Media, a Washington-based organ that is used to spread disinformation against US adversaries.
Edison Research has likewise worked with UK state media outlet the BBC. In addition to Venezuela, Edison has previously conducted suspicious polling in Ukraine, Georgia, and Iraq – areas of the world that have been deemed highly strategic by the US State Department and targeted by Washington’s relentless meddling.
