Watching BBC news earlier, two interviewees were acolytes of Venuzuelan politician and exile Maria Corina Machado, who recently received the Nobel Peace Prize, and Juan Guaidó, the former American-backed coup (or whatever you want to call it) leader. They were adamantly pro-Maduro getting helicoptered away, but somewhat neutral on bombings on their own capital city. I think the consent factory is still making porkie pies.

> exile Maria Corina Machado

Machado seems to be the opposite of an exile until she escaped to accept the Nobel Peace Prize last month.

  Machado was prohibited from leaving Venezuela by a decade-old 
  government-imposed travel ban and, by late 2025, had spent months in hiding 
  amid the risk of arrest.
