Meet Juan Guaido’s first ambassador, fake Twitter diplomat slammed by Costa Rica for ‘unacceptable entry’

Maria Faría, the daughter of a would-be Hugo Chávez assassin, illegally barged into Venezuela’s embassy in Costa Rica and declared herself ambassador. The embarrassing stunt highlighted everything wrong with Juan Guaidó’s reality-show government.

While tweeting that she had taken charge of Venezuela’s Embassy in Costa Rica on February 20, Maria Faría demonstrated that she was more familiar with the conventions of social media than those dictating international diplomacy.

In fulfillment of the diplomatic functions, assigned by President Juan Guaido”, tweeted Faría, referring to the US-appointed leader of Venezuela’s parallel coup government, “we assume control of the administrative headquarters of the Embassy of Venezuela in San Jose”.

The surprise announcement came early Wednesday morning from inside the Embassy, leading many to wonder how Faría, or “@Mandyfaria26” — who describes herself in her Twitter bio as the “Diplomatic Representative for the Venezuelan Republic” in Costa Rica — was able to secure access to the Embassy.

A senior Venezuelan official told the Grayzone that Faría and her entourage were able to access the building by paying its owner to hand over the keys.

Once inside, Faría seemed to believe she could tweet her way to legitimacy, just as the presidency of her boss, Juan Guaido, had been announced on Twitter by US President Donald Trump.

But getting her foot in the door would be the least of Faría’s challenges. Within hours the young diplomatic wannabe had managed to offend her host country and demonstrate her lack of qualifications for the job.

The fail-daughter of an exiled coup plotter, her clownish behavior was hardly unique to a government that existed only in cyberspace and the fever dreams of John Bolton. Beyond its illegal occupation of the Costa Rican embassy, Guaido’s gang had no Foreign Ministry, let alone any physical address to govern from.

A month into their shadow puppet government, the attempt to barge into the consular space exposed the desperation behind their search for legitimacy.

Norman Finkelstein & Jeremy Corbyn: THE INTERVIEW ISRAEL WANT TO BAN

Double Down News In a powerful and deeply personal conversation, political scientist Dr. Norman Finkelstein sits down with MP and former UK Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn to analyse the ongoing crisis in Gaza, Western diplomatic inaction, and the media's framing of the conflict. From evaluating ICJ proceedings to dismantling mainstream media "gatekeeper" tactics, Finkelstein and Corbyn provide an unsparing critique of current geopolitical realities and explain why Gaza has become a defining moral touchstone for a new generation. Beyond foreign policy, the pair explore the broader societal shifts shaping world politics today. Drawing on four decades of political activism, they compare today's student movement to historical anti-Apartheid and anti-Vietnam War struggles, while examining the decline of social mobility, the commercialisation of higher education, and the impact of digital media on critical thinking and long-term political engagement.

CNN Host COMPLETELY DESTROYED By RFK For Lying About COVID & Vaxx!

The Jimmy Dore Show   In this video, Jimmy Dore offers a scathing critique of CNN's Dana Bash and her colleagues in the legacy media for their COVID-19 coverage, accusing them of being paid mouthpieces for pharmaceutical companies rather than skeptical journalists. He argues that Anthony Fauci systematically lied about masks, social distancing, natural immunity, and the virus's origin, while CNN and other networks censored dissenting scientists like Dr. Robert Malone and Dr. Peter McCullough. Dore points to documented financial ties between Pfizer and CNN, as well as statements from former medical journal editors confirming widespread industry corruption, to support claims that the pandemic response was manufactured for profit. The segment defends RFK Jr.'s questioning of vaccine science and measles narratives, concluding that mainstream media journalists who ridicule truth-tellers are cowardly accessories to a deadly medical fraud.
