As with the left he resents the Anglo for daring to question his belief system that he knows is flawed.
Sorry Kevin but we will not be sticking our asses in the air 5 times a day just because some sand raider from the 7th century said he talked to angels in his tent.

Reduce the price of diesel and you reduce the price of goods.
At no point in my post did I “obsess” about anything. As things stand, in 10 years time, so many people will have left Venezuela that the state will likely collapse, and most of it will be partitioned by its neighbours. I don’t say that with any satisfaction- lots of people are suffering and will continue to suffer.
I was referring to US policy.
We are better off ignoring these left-wing revolutions.
If they seize a US business by force then oh well. Maybe your CEO should do a better job of following the news.
Not sure why we would pity a multi-billion dollar company that decided to invest in South America. Oh boo hoo.
Most Americans would not open a popsicle stand in South America but we are supposed to be angry over wealthy companies that had a slight loss in profits from left-wing takeovers.
As for Venezuela it will not be partitioned by its neighbors. The government is still functioning and most Venezuelans know that Maduro was a lousy leader.
I agree with you, dear Che, as I regard the “info” the influencers and talking heads are bestowing on gullible listeners as pure rubbish.
Eric Striker however is such a rarity nowadays as an honest White man with principles.
Kind regards.

I actually doubt Eric Striker would be ignorant or pretend not being aware of that.
Thanks for the tip, but I usually avoid ‘talking head’ videos. However, may try that one at least once.
some commie mongrel eurasian weirdo (putin) is the ‘hero/idol’ of these western white altnewstards…
Dear Che, “Philo-Jewish angle” is far too mild an expression when it comes to MIGA Donald.
Eric/Joseph and Warren actually are – on their weekly podcast “Warstrike” – providing with a lot of valuable info, incl. about what happened to NJP and on the matter of “Nazi”-larping in Ukraine.
I used to think that, too ... until Trump came along.Replies: @Che Guava
One would think that the choice between being a Jew and a neo-Nazi would be a binary one.
Sure, I see Trump’s philo-jewish angle, but can’t see his neo-Nazi angle at all.
I know that Eric or Jordan never replies to comments on this site, but a serious post-mortem on the U.S. political party of which he was once a leading member, the National Justice Party, would be interesting to read.
Great piece. Sadly, Greg Johnson and his Counter Currents site are also big supporters of Rabbi Zelensky and his landsman Kapustin. They suffer from a serious case of Putin Derangement Syndrome.
From his own mouth, Daddy Putin says he was put on earth to destroy nazism wherever it exists.
Yeah, exactly, HT.

US officials have made half-hearted attempts at blowing the cobwebs off the Reagan-era Cold War boogeyman trope, but the Venezuelan state of Maduro last year spent only 18% of its GDP on public expenditures, making the US (37%) twice as “communist.” It should also be noted that Venezuela’s Communist Party has long been part of the heterogenous US-backed anti-Maduro opposition and is perceived inside the country as a front for the CIA.
https://www.wsj.com/business/trump-defense-industry-executive-order-9cc2c42e
An executive order posted Wednesday evening said companies “are not permitted in any way, shape, or form to pay dividends or buy back stock, until such time as they are able to produce a superior product, on time and on budget.”
Earlier Wednesday, Trump said in a Truth Social post that he would limit executive pay to $5 million, but the dollar figure wasn’t included in the executive order.
So Trump can now set all corporate dividends, buybacks, salaries, and bonuses by executive order.
You might dislike the means, but are the corporations in question not publicly traded? Surely one can ask whether a CEO has excessive influence over his board of directors when it comes to setting the CEO’s own compensation.
One might rejoin that the board answers to shareholders. However, to the extent to which pension-fund managers bloc-vote pensioners’ shares, to whom does the board really answer? To what extent is the board interlocked with other corporations’ boards? How much influence does the CEO have over the nomination of board candidates? How much logrolling goes on? Logrolling might not always be the worst thing imaginable, yet if a cap on executive pay helps to keep the logrolling honest, so much the better.
Sure sounds like “Communism” to me…
I don’t know, Ron. To cap a publicly traded corporation’s CEO’s pay at $5 million sounds reasonable to me. A vast gap yawns between such a cap and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.
Easy to sell in all kind of rubbish info in a time when most people are truly ignorant. Thanks!
The oil is only good for diesel and asphalt. Perhaps necessary for industry but not especially profitable.
So it’s not about oil for anyone with some chemistry background.

Both major parties fully support Israel. The left controlled the Presidency and Senate on Oct 8, 2023 and fully supported the Israeli action in Gaza. There are only a handful of American politicians who aren’t zionists. But, the femocrat party passes laws, issues executive orders and regulations that openly discriminate against Whites. Trump, and his republicans have ended these executive orders and regulations and are fighting anti-White discrimination in the courts. Republicans in general, and Trump in particular, aren’t hostile to White Americans. That’s better than a stick in the face.
Wow, almost as though everyone agrees killing regular whites on both sides is the goal!
Surely you’re not retarded enough to think Russia is in opposition to the protocols

It’s a class war. Masqueraded as a culture war.
People better get smart fast…
So tired of the bedwetters like Judge Napolitano or Phil Giraldi bemoaning the removal of Maduro.
Agreed but you forgot to add Johnson, Blumenthal, Sachs, Freeman, Ritter and Crooke. All they do is whine and clutch pearls. I give a little leeway to McGovern, Wilkerson, Mearsheimer and McGregor (military info only) as they seem to at least be able to question the “safe for public consumption” narrative and think out of the box at times.
The substantial difference between what Trump is doing and what the other administrations have done is this : Trump. Trump is too stupid or unconcerned to make up some bullshit story about democracy or human rights. He’s too much of a selfish oaf to offer a slick smile like Obama.
Stop. The “Trump is stupid, selfish, idiot” or “a dictator” dis is getting old, tired and clearly not true. Here is a man who built buildings around the world, dominated prime time TV ratings for a decade with his TV show and won the presidency twice in non-consecutive terms. Do just *one* of those things and you are in rarefied air.
If that isn’t enough, consider this. I voted for Trump because Harris would have been a disaster and we would already be in the middle of a nuclear WWIII or another plandemic and the commies/globalist would have taken over, forever. So shouldn’t we add that to Trump’s list of accomplishments?
In any case, Trump is talented enough use bullshit stories and slick smiles to hide his real motives like past presidents. But he isn’t like past presidents, I think he genuinely loves this country and wants to save it from the CIA and Brit bankers. So what is he doing? Recently in an interview, in an off-hand comment Sachs said of the Venezuela decap “Well, this is really at least what Trump has done is expose the fact that we are at the end of constitutional rule in the U.S.” Sachs is too dim to take a step back and realize that exposing the corruption is exactly what Trump is doing.
Trump is going on a rampage now and recently said that international law can’t stop him, only his own moral compass. He has both sides of the aisle claiming that he is a dictator and exceeding his authority as president, blah, blah, blah. None of this makes any sense to Judge Nap & Friends and all they can do is think (contrary to the facts); “oh, he’s a regime-change NeoCon now” or “He’s controlled by Israel”, etc. This is all 1D thinking in spades.
The reality is that U.S. congress has not declared war since 1942 and yet the U.S. has been constantly at war since WWII. It is not Trump that is violating (or shirking) his constitutional powers and responsibilities but congress. The genius of the founding fathers was that they knew that populations never want war unless genuinely threatened which is why that power is constitutionally assigned to 435 representatives and not one man. Trump’s goal is to force congress to reclaim that power and block any future, real dictator or shitty presidents.
To be clear, a better use of this type of executive branch effort is to arrest federal judges, and governors, and other state officials that are abetting the invasion of our country by non-Whites.
He is ending the invasion but much more, the cause of the flood. He’s going after the CIA and the corrupt British banking system we now live under. A direct assault would only lead to him getting assasinated. I think he is too selfish to allow that. I think the fake Butler, PA “assasination” was staged to take that arrow out of the CIA’s quiver as a second successful assasination would be very difficult to cover up in the age of citizen-journalists.
The wider issue is that under our system of competing mafias they still need “the people” to go along with the wars. This is called “manufacturing consent” (based on lies) ala Chomsky. With Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and WTC attacks we all know how that works by now. Trump is using a different strategy based on “manufacturing mandate” (by revealing the truth) and being on the right side of 80/20 issues and thus empowered to take political action.
Doing business with, bailing out etc makes it they're business!Replies: @The Real World
Fed Gov out of business. It is not their place and they don’t assume the risk – investors do.
No, you are speaking about special circumstances. They are not typical.
As a matter of general and ordinary practice, the US Govt should stay the hell out of private businesses. The reasons why should be obvious.
The removal of Maduro is a regime change campaign going back 20 years, with the blame for this latest conflict shared by Democrats and Republicans equally.
It used to be the standard in journalism to get the facts first and to not mix news with opinion unless specifically disclosed. There is no regime change in Venezuela. Maduro’s VP and administration is still in place.
And Maduro is one of the happiest “prisoners” in his non-verbal behavior I have ever seen.
Trump is big on optics. Instead of invading Iran he cut what appears to have been a quid pro quo tactic deal with Iran and cosmetically bombed empty nuclear bomb manufacturing sites instead of carpet bombing Iran as Bibi Netanyahu and the Israeli lobby wanted. Now, in Venezuela, Trump seems to have cut another deal but with Maduro to play along with a fake arrest while making sure Maduro will be prosecuted by an anti-Trump judge.
Trump’s actions, not his words, are consistent with Niccolo Machiavelli’s admonition that a ruler must create and manage perceptions because that is all the citizens judge events by.
No, Machiavelli never taught how to do evil but instead wrote “a ruler cannot under cover of doing good, do evil” (Discourses I:46). Sure, Machiavelli wrote the the “means may be justified by the ends”, but only in existential emergencies such as war, population invasions, corruption, and insurrections. Machiavelli was not Machiavellian who justified evil, deception, and fraud.
In his play Mandrake Root, Machiavelli described how doing a seeming immoral act may result in a moral outcome. An old, feeble king was married to a very young wife but he was not virile to produce an offspring. So, a priest tricked the king and wife to let a gigolo to sleep with the wife and the result was conception and birth of a successor king. As Shakespeare termed it: “All is well that ends well”.
Trump’s behavior is consistent with Machiavellist moral consequentialism. This is no endorsement of Trump as I did not vote for him. But a case can be made that Trump is a “lesser evil” moralist.
After 1945 the Monroe Doctrine was applied to the whole world. The US is simply doing what it does best-killing and stealing.
So very correct, Comrade Anbro.
You see more and more of these blood-thirsty sub-fascistic psychopaths mouthing off these days. From the highest ranks of the Judeosupremacist Palantir archipelago, down to the most pathetic blowhards, like this. In the end the Right always chooses exterminism.
The problem now is going to be the internal power struggle among ambitious jews. I think Trotsky would have driven the USSR into the ground in 5 years but unfortunately we got Stalin. I don’t care if nobody can prove Stalin was jewish but he clearly was loyal to jews marrying several.
LOL.

What I would like to know is where YOU come up with this rubbish?
Most of the stock market holdings are held by institutions and RICH investors. I would say that in these times in which we now live, very few ordinary Americans hold any appreciable amounts of stock. Some years ago, I had holdings in the stock market – me, a (then) industrial electrician. At the advice of my stock broker, I had bought a quantity of Worldcom shares, which I ended up selling for 7 CENTS a share.
Middle Class American citizens today, for the most part, live from paycheck to paycheck, have huge amounts of credit card and vehicle DEBT, in addition to large mortgage or rent payments. They have, for the most part, very little in savings accounts.
As Ann Landers used to tell her readers, “Wake up and smell the coffee!”

Our income tax helps fund a massively bloated military while middle class Whites are told by the GOP that they need to afford health care on their own. Cause fiscal conservatism. Hey Soros, need a tax cut? Here you go buddy.
We live in clown world where even posters here seem to think that the GOP represents White people just because they don’t support trannies. The GOP will rail against trannies and then pass tax cuts for billionaires that weren’t born in the US. That is somehow supporting rural Whites.

What’s a “new-day appointment” (with a therapist)?
It took me way too long to figure it out. But we have to go back to Colonel House, Woodrow Wilson’s handler, groomed as a young man in London and Oxford, father with vague connections to Rothschild. So the Colonel is occupied in Texas with getting governors into power for many years. He’s the fixer in Texas politics. Now this where one has to balk at the vision of the top Jews. Colonel House was now perfectly trained to step in as the brain behind academically bright but psychologically stupid Woodrow Wilson (and the Jews had evidence of his affair). Since 1893 a secret cabal headed by Rothschild had plotted WWI (as documented in the brilliant book Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World War). House was there at the passing of the Federal Reserve Act and the decision to enter WWI.
Back to Trump. With Roy Cohn as his master Trump was handled as a future US President who would do backflips for Israel. The Jews not only bailed him out they showered him with cash each and every time he fucked up. Which he did continuously. He and Epstein were like twins: they both liked young flesh. All that was missing was to get him on mainstream media, hence the Apprentice. Trump was the bad cop
The good cop Obama was groomed and served up by the Zionist Pritzkers of Chicago.
>And how are they going to define corporations?
Obviously that’s a question that must be responsibly addressed in the legislation.
For me, I don’t know, I’m not a corporate lawyer or accountant, so I’m not versed in all the ways a business can be legally structured — generally, I hope as broadly as is reasonable so that it includes any contrived legal entity (including limited partnerships) whose sole or primary purpose in owning the property is not to reside there, but speculation (capital appreciation) and rental income — so in this context (as in others), regarding who owns the property, you’ll know a ‘corporation’ when you see one.
The goal is to return as many of these properties as possible to being owner-occupied.
Purchasing insurance provides liability protection.
I commented about this recently: ‘it’s estimated that corporations now own more than 10% of all single family homes, approx 15m units … being able to own your own home is essential to making marriage and children more attractive for young people’ — given (what I see as) the great importance of this issue for society, I won’t care too much about a little collateral damage of the type you suggest may occur.
The Gail Tverberg quote from the ‘our finite world’ blog is absolutely correct. The heavy VZ crude is needed by the US to continue to make useful heavy fuel oils like Jet A and diesel. Running small engine cars on gasoline/petrol is irrelevant. That’s just byproduct. As are plastics and asphalt. We need diesel and jet fuel if we are to have a modern society.
More importantly we can see the absolute lack of concern for rules and law, Westphalian principles etc . because with advanced depletion happening everywhere, the musical chairs are being removed very quickly indeed and the music will shortly stop. The last players will be the ones with access to kerosene and diesel required for mining and war.
There is no happy ending.
Right, and thanks. Left/liberal defense of the Chavez/Maduro regime ignores the horrific living conditions in some of the world’s worst slums because the purpose of the criticism isn’t to improve the lives of everyday Venezuelans, but to vilify the United States. The Maduro regime is a thugocracy that needed to be ended.
Maduro is a thug leftist but that doesn’t give Trump the legal right to sidestep the Constitution.
Congress has war powers:
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/articles/article-i/clauses/753
It’s rather clear just like tariffs.
As for slums you can find them in plenty of “free market” South American economies. I guess the invisible hand of Adam Smith hasn’t yet fingered all of South America. Haiti is much more “Free market” than Venezuela but I don’t seem to see conservatives or libertarians clamoring to visit.
But, we have even bigger fish to fry than preventing Maduro from turning Venezuela into a Chinese forward base and handing it control of the world’s largest reserves of oil
Conservative paranoia.
China has the world’s second largest economy and they need oil.
Why should we be surprised that they buy it from Venezuela? That doesn’t mean the two countries were plotting some Red Dawn takeover of the Americas. The Chinese have proven that they are more interested in business than taking sides. They currently sell drones to both Ukraine and China. Putin thought he was pals with China and yet Xi will happily sell drones that kill Russian soldiers. Chinese are the same everywhere. They will smile and sell you both the poison and the cure.
As the Ukrainians are fighting for Jewish interests, perceving them as Nationalist Socialists would be a contradiction in terms.
“Nazi” is however the nowadays ubiquitous/omnipresent invective against all those one dislikes.
Btw, Eric Striker is an erudite and judicious writer equipped with exceptional insight.
The only realistic policy is to wait for more and more people to leave Venezuela and the economy to implode completely. Only then will there be any chance of beneficial change – if, indeed, Venezuela survives as a state at all.
Wasn’t that the plan with Cuba?
Here is a better idea: Stop obsessing over left-wing revolutions in Central and South America.
If they aren’t funding nukes or terrorists then let them be.
We will probably keep seeing left-wing revolutions until someone comes up with a viable alternative to Wall St first capitalism. Just because Marx was wrong doesn’t mean these countries should submit themselves to a bunch of assholes in NYC that don’t care about any of us.
The chutzpah of America. It says Greenland is threatened by Russia and China, and so the US has to take it. It’s like Bob saying Bill’s House is threatened by John and Mary, and so Bob himself has to take it. And Bill is supposed to be thankful to Bob for the ‘protection’.
What’s amazing about the attack on Venezuela and the grab for Greeland is
1. this is even possible in the 21st century.
2. there is hardly any pushback from mainstream forces. It goes to show they feared Trump the man of peace(in his first term) than Trump the imperial tool of the Jews.
Russia should troll Europe by offering to defend Greenland from the US. It doesn’t have to be sincere or realistic. It will just expose the utter phoniness of Europe. If having to choose between the US that wants to grab Greeland and Russia that offers to defend Greenland, Europeans choose the former… and the whole world laughs.
That would be a funny sight to see.
Canada is now the narco state that is the biggest threat to USA.
What do people think of all this?
I think Krainer has fallen off his rocker.
Canadian banks are fully integrated with their USA counterparts, and yes there are a few drug manufacturing labs in Canada that supply USA. That’s because Canada’s economy has been integrated with USA’s, by design, over decades. But the criminal element that runs the drug labs and the banks is not from Canada. If Canada poofed out of existence tomorrow, absolutely nothing about the drug trade in USA would change.
New Online Course: Monroe Doctrine at 200 and What to Replace It With By WorldBeyondWar
Venezuela’s population is apparently 29 million, but 8 million, overwhelmingly middle class or skilled workers, have fled the country. They’re not coming back anytime soon. Every day, 2,000 or more leave Venezuela The GDP of Venezuela is a fraction of what it was 30 years ago. This is the biggest catastrophe that has happened to a country in the modern world that has not been caused by natural disaster, famine, war or violent revolution.
Maduro in particular is culpable for this. The state oil corporation was the source of nearly all the state’s revenue. From 2014 Maduro removed nearly all the technically competent PDVSA employees, who quickly left Venezuela, and replaced with incompetent party hacks. Production plummeted and the economy imploded.
None of this is mentioned in the article, or by the commenters ( I exclude you ), Ron Unz included. It should have been mentioned fully and detailed.
Having said that, unless the US Government could remove the Venezuela regime quickly, restore constitutional government and aid the return of as many of the 8 million as possible, then no action should have been taken. Trump’s action looks like a political stunt, which will be quickly forgotten as new events transpire.
The only realistic policy is to wait for more and more people to leave Venezuela and the economy to implode completely. Only then will there be any chance of beneficial change – if, indeed, Venezuela survives as a state at all.
Over the 20 years of illegal and criminal US occupation of Afghanistan, drug production, particularly heroin, saw a significant rise, becoming a profitable business for US businessmen and troops stationed in the country. The current Afghan government seems to be following the same trend as pre-occupation, attempting to eliminate drugs in Afghanistan.
For at least the last 10 years, USA forces in Afghanistan were acting as enforcers for the CIA’s heroin empire. US troops guarded poppy fields, and the CIA directed nighttime helicopter raids against villages that refused to work with the CIA drug empire, massacring everyone in the village down to the village dog.
I suppose the CIA thought they could still profit from the trade after organizing everyone into networks that shipped the drugs out through CIA conduits, with the money disappearing into the black hole of CIA terrorist networks. The Taliban seems to be resolving the issue by just ending production field by field, at great cost to the country since USA is now trying to starve them out of power.
If USA just took out Maduro, it wasn’t because Venezuela was shipping drugs into USA under his direction. It’s because they weren’t. The new Venezuelan gov’t will have to turn the country into another Colombia if they want USA to lift the sanctions and work with them.
This is the natural and inevitable outcome of classical liberalism. This is what you get when your apostles are John Locke and Adam Smith. This is the apotheosis of the Judeo-Masonic slogan “liberty, equality, fraternity.” This is your founding fathers and your precious constitution.
And how are they going to define corporations? A lot of people I know who own a rental property or two have filed the paperwork for an s Corp or an LLC which is… A corporation. This provides liability protections in the event that your renter turns out to be a meth head and blows your house up, damaging the neighbor’s properties or something You don’t end up losing everything you own to it.
And then there’s the whole citizens United ruling that says corporations are people too.
One of the problems with government and humanity in general is the Dunning-Kruger effect in that they are too stupid to realize how stupid they are.
Any clues on what this strategy may be?
Venezuela has become an outlier in Latin America, where regimes propped up by the US are rapidly embracing the pro-Israel Isaac’s Accords. What exactly the Israelis want in Latin America remains a matter of speculation, ...
They simply want to overturn Israel-hostile ideologies in the region. Wouldn’t it be nice if they had countries other than the United States vetoing UN resolutions against them? It would look like a moral coalition on their side and not one bought and paid for stooge. Makes sense. Latin American countries moreover seem ridiculously susceptible to the power of the purse.
My concern is who will be on those trains and where they’ll be headed.

Does anyone else besides me find it strange that NOBODY in Venezuela even tried to protect Maduro? Are we supposed to believe that everyone just laid down for the US War Machine? Something smells fishy.
Exactly, which is why we need to group up and deal with them the same way the Germans did. Vote National Socialism

That Trump comment was about defense contractor Raytheon not every company. Don’t trust what you read in the WSJ.
The left likes to call everyone to the right of Allen Dershowitz a “Fascist”. I don’t think they have a clue what “Fascism” actually is. They just use it as an overarching term for “anything I don’t like”.
However, like the proverbial stopped clock, they may be right. The utter and complete intertwinement of the corporate world and government has been going on for a long time, and certainly looks like “Fascism”, and most of the country, left and right, seems good to go with that.

It is possible the CIA, working with the British, did this without approval or knowledge of Trump.
Maybe, but the Duran guys are asking the right questions. It looks like Putin took a chance going to Alaska. Many here warned against it. Makes one wonder about the wisdom of meeting Trump in Budapest with so much stuff flying around in the air.
The author couldn’t be more wrong than when he stated:
Venezuela’s low-quality crude requires refining infrastructure that experts believe could cost 10s of billions of dollars in investment and potentially a decade to come to fruition, meaning that the US would have to pay a hefty price to produce the product in order to “steal” it.
Truth is:
U.S. refineries, especially along theGulf Coast, are heavily configured (around 70%) to process heavy, sour crude oil, like that from Venezuela or Canada, for high-value products like diesel and jet fuel, even though the U.S. produces lighter shale oil; this setup creates a strong market for imported heavy crudes, boosting refiners like Chevron, Valero, and Marathon, enabling them to export lighter products while meeting domestic diesel demand.
As Gail Tvberg notes:
The heavier types of oil, from which diesel and jet fuel are disproportionately made, are in short supply now. They are likely to continue to be in short supply in 2026.
World oil production has risen in recent months. When I investigated, I found that the vast majority of the recent growth seems to be in light oil. Thus, the shortfall in diesel and other heavy fuels is likely to continue as in the recent past.
This shortage of the heavy types of oil has several impacts:
a. With a shortage of heavy oil, a fairly strong country, such as the US, is tempted to attack Venezuela, which has the world’s largest reserves of heavy oil.
b. Island nations without their own fossil fuel supplies tend to use a disproportionately large share of diesel and jet fuel, for several reasons: (1) Such islands often burn diesel fuel for electricity. This is an expensive way to make electricity; goods produced with this electricity become too expensive to export. (2) Imports and exports need to be shipped in by boat or by air, again using limited types of fuel supply. Physics tends to push these economies down by making their products expensive to sell elsewhere. Examples of islands with these problems include Cuba, Puerto Rico, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka. Such places tend to be adversely affected by shortages of heavy oil sooner than other locations.
c. Without enough jet fuel, long distance tourism is likely to be reduced in 2026. One issue is the lack of jet fuel for flying planes. Another issue is that an increasing share of the population will not be able to afford long-distance tourism because of the k-shaped economy.
d. Tariffs are a way of discouraging the shipping of goods long distance, to indirectly save on heavy oil. We should not be surprised by their increasing usage.

I’m amazed at how easily people are brainwashed by the media to hate the new Goldstein, “maga”. One after another, commenters deride this group and mock their low IQ. It’s laughable. In America you get two choices, one is worse than the other. You have to pick the better devil. The left in the US had a $25 million bounty on Maduro, plus sanctions. Now, Maduro has been removed and the new “president” (probably a cia asset) has begun making deals with Trump. Prisoners released, negotiations begun. If anyone actually cares about Venezuela, this is going to end with a lifting of the sanctions, US corporate investment and a better life for the people. Stop being brainwashed. Step back, take a deep breath, and watch what happens. It’s not a movie, it’s not over in 93 minutes.
And before everyone starts writing, “maga, maga, maga” I consider Trump too far to the left. I appreciate that he doesn’t hate White folks and has cut some taxes and regulations as well as his closure of the border.
This article is full of bosh, false claims, and a deliberate aim to deceive. Nobody’s father was “tortured to death” by the CIA; Rodriguez’ father, a Communist terrorist, tortured American citizen Paul Niehaus for three years.
The Maduro regime – like the Chavez regime before it – was a typical Communist dictatorship, supported by the worst elements in Venezuelan society. The Cubans controlled it, and the Iranians, Hezbollah, and the Russians benefited from it. The Chinese looted the country. The Colombian Communist guerrillas used it as a safe haven and cocaine conduit. The massive Biden open borders operation was directed from Venezuela.
A common element among people writing here on Latin America is almost total ignorance of the truth about the danger from our enemies in that part of the world.
This reminded me that Tyler Robinson will be in court next week on January 16th for a preliminary hearing, followed by an arraignment on January 30th. Let’s see if either one of these events make it into the media cycle. My guess is that they won’t.

Alex Krainer (on Nema’s channel) said he does not believe Trump tried to assassinate Putin. He gave his reasoning as to why: not very convincing.
Krainer is biased towards Trump: this may be a case of ‘confirmation bias’.
Krainer just doesn’t want to believe that Trump would be so reckless.
Who knows.
Russians have 26 (?) of the control circuitry, according to Andrei, and they officially gave one of the circuits to US Military attaché, proving they were guided by US satellites.

His Vice President and party are still in place though so the "regime" appears to be left in place with just the absence of one person, not like the wholesale purging of the Baath party in Iraq. Perhaps it is a mafia style message sent for them to cooperate else other bad things will happen. If Maduro were genuinely popular as some make him out to be why did he need dozens of foreigners, Cubans, for his security force? Likewise, its been reported that the Russian mercenary private security outfit, Wagner, was also around to help guard him. What's the matter, not enough trustworthy Venezuelans available to guard him? It appears the culture there is quite different and money talks louder than ideology. Latin American heads of state have routinely been selling out their countries in exchange for a Swiss bank account.Replies: @JunkyardDog
removal of Maduro is a regime change campaign
Right, and thanks. Left/liberal defense of the Chavez/Maduro regime ignores the horrific living conditions in some of the world’s worst slums because the purpose of the criticism isn’t to improve the lives of everyday Venezuelans, but to vilify the United States. The Maduro regime is a thugocracy that needed to be ended. As V. S. Naipaul wrote, we make a huge category mistake labeling these South American and African thugocracies nations or countries, as if they were essentially like the nations of North America and Europe and deserve to be treated as such. Venezuela, South Africa, Somali, ad nauseam, are criminal operations supported by the left in America and Europe in the hope of eventually extirpating Western Civilization root and branch from the face of this planet.
But, we have even bigger fish to fry than preventing Maduro from turning Venezuela into a Chinese forward base and handing it control of the world’s largest reserves of oil, which is recognizing that we are in an existential war for our own survival against an enemy within now taking it to the streets once again. This time we must not allow the Republicans in Congress to do what they get paid to do, which is oppose the Left with words that only make matters worse and, in time, amount to concession of every move leftward for the past seventy-five years.
I actually can forsee this: she presents her Peace Prize to PresidentTrump in a grand ceremony and he accepts, giving a speech in which he anoints himself the savior of democracy. Totally believable.

Jan 3, 2026 The *REAL* Reason We Just Invaded Venezuela (It’s Not Drugs)
In this episode of 51-49, James unearths the hidden geopolitical agenda behind the sudden US bombing of Venezuela: from opposition leader Maria Corina Machado promising to privatize the nation’s vast oil industry for American companies, to reports that Maduro’s removal was urged by “Our Greatest Ally” due to his vocal anti-Israel stance — all suggesting this invasion isn’t just about fighting “narco-terrorism,” but a coordinated regime change operation designed to seize natural resources and appease foreign interests.
Jan 5, 2026 Maduro’s ‘come get me’ didn’t age well; WH mocks Venezuelan leader, ‘He had his chance, until…’ In a dramatic overnight mission,
U.S. forces executed Operation Absolute Resolve, capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores after months of covert planning and intelligence gathering. Explosions rocked Caracas as elite units struck key targets and seized Maduro, who now faces U.S. charges related to narcoterrorism.
Yep, they’re all in on it. Maduro wasn’t ‘kidnapped’ but was in on the skit.
The Israel Overlords themselves revealed on the CBS TV show ’60 Minutes’ that they rule the world ‘like Truman Show.’ Even after this major admission from the Overlords most people still insist on viewing reality from some archaic angle of ‘sovereign nations’….lol

Canada is now the narco state that is the biggest threat to USA. Narco criminals from north and south are attacking US with drug and people smugglers, and Trump has to defend his country. US is the victim of the New Opium Wars like China was in the old ones.
What do people think of all this?
Why doesn’t Trump take the off-shore tax heavens where all the drug money is located? Maybe he will. Then why does Trump pardon convicted narco criminals? Sure, Trump isn’t taking about spreading human rights and democracy but could this war on narco terrorists be another excuse for imperialist land and resource theft, since the old ones wore thin? Why doesn’t Trump start at home and start dishing out death sentences to drug dealers in US causing all those OD’s?
I think Krainer has fallen off his rocker.

The stock market has made millions and millions of middle-class people wealthy.
The irony here is that the godless chinese is today closer to God’s commandment than the gayest country on earth israel and all its zog vassals, sodomy celebrating countries and their globohomo values.
If Russia learned from the bible that there are 2 genders and China learned from the biology textbooks that there are 2 genders, our talmudic overlords in the west brainwash us to think that there are 53 genders.
I guess I don’t really care about stock buybacks. Perhaps we should abolish the stock market and limit market cap of corporations. The stock market benefits no one except speculators and banks. We cannot have a free country if a small number of corporations are enabled to act extra-judicially against the population.
However, we know Trump is wholly owned by the Jewish elites. He isn’t going against their interests, so we can be entirely certain there is some kind of scam afoot if he is pretending to do something for the people. Just like the tariff scam has been a massive insider trading scheme along with a direct black money harvesting operation for the CIA.

What were George Bush Sr, George Wallace and Bill Clinton photographed at Kennebunkport in 1983???
You mean what were they doing together? Eating lobster. And drinking Mountain Dew out of a can. Although it’s not clear from the photo what Bill was throwing back. I don’t think Billy Beer had been invented, yet. Of course Wallace had to sit. The others could have walked away.
Evidently a meeting of sitting governors organized by the White House. Do you have a different take on the event? Something you might want to share?
Don’t forget all the proceeds from drug sales in the US are either laundered back into the commercial economy by spending for material goods ( TVs, Washers, A/C units, etc… ) that are shipped back to places like Columbia or Mexico and sold at retail, or laundered through the banking system to recapitalize the banks.
Make no mistake law-enforcement, politicians ( the ones that aren’t drunk all the time or raping children ), and our so called elites know and prosper from this criminal activity.
Another MAGAt subhuman who is going to try to justify a Zionist psychopath attempting to drag us into a world war because “muh democrats”.
So tired of the bedwetters like Judge Napolitano or Phil Giraldi bemoaning the removal of Maduro. Napolitano now thinks he’s a martyr or that his life is in danger because of his bedwetting about Trump.
How about being a bit more circumspect? I believe I have these facts correct though I am pulling from memory:
* Obama: forces out Haiti President Aristide puts him on a military plane to exile in Africa
* Obama: forces out President Zelaya of Honduras, abducts and prosecutes.
* GW Bush: invades Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein from power.
* HW Bush: invades Panama abducts Noriega, prosecutes him in Florida.
The substantial difference between what Trump is doing and what the other administrations have done is this : Trump.
Trump is too stupid or unconcerned to make up some bullshit story about democracy or human rights. He’s too much of a selfish oaf to offer a slick smile like Obama.
To be clear, a better use of this type of executive branch effort is to arrest federal judges, and governors, and other state officials that are abetting the invasion of our country by non-Whites.
It’s just a matter of time before one of these Washington DC factions ceases complete power. It’s going to be “who whom” very soon and these bullshit operations in Latin America don’t matter that much.
So tired of the bedwetters like Judge Napolitano or Phil Giraldi bemoaning the removal of Maduro.Agreed but you forgot to add Johnson, Blumenthal, Sachs, Freeman, Ritter and Crooke. All they do is whine and clutch pearls. I give a little leeway to McGovern, Wilkerson, Mearsheimer and McGregor (military info only) as they seem to at least be able to question the "safe for public consumption" narrative and think out of the box at times.
The substantial difference between what Trump is doing and what the other administrations have done is this : Trump. Trump is too stupid or unconcerned to make up some bullshit story about democracy or human rights. He’s too much of a selfish oaf to offer a slick smile like Obama.Stop. The "Trump is stupid, selfish, idiot" or "a dictator" dis is getting old, tired and clearly not true. Here is a man who built buildings around the world, dominated prime time TV ratings for a decade with his TV show and won the presidency twice in non-consecutive terms. Do just *one* of those things and you are in rarefied air. If that isn't enough, consider this. I voted for Trump because Harris would have been a disaster and we would already be in the middle of a nuclear WWIII or another plandemic and the commies/globalist would have taken over, forever. So shouldn't we add that to Trump's list of accomplishments?In any case, Trump is talented enough use bullshit stories and slick smiles to hide his real motives like past presidents. But he isn't like past presidents, I think he genuinely loves this country and wants to save it from the CIA and Brit bankers. So what is he doing? Recently in an interview, in an off-hand comment Sachs said of the Venezuela decap "Well, this is really at least what Trump has done is expose the fact that we are at the end of constitutional rule in the U.S." Sachs is too dim to take a step back and realize that exposing the corruption is exactly what Trump is doing.Trump is going on a rampage now and recently said that international law can't stop him, only his own moral compass. He has both sides of the aisle claiming that he is a dictator and exceeding his authority as president, blah, blah, blah. None of this makes any sense to Judge Nap & Friends and all they can do is think (contrary to the facts); "oh, he's a regime-change NeoCon now" or "He's controlled by Israel", etc. This is all 1D thinking in spades. The reality is that U.S. congress has not declared war since 1942 and yet the U.S. has been constantly at war since WWII. It is not Trump that is violating (or shirking) his constitutional powers and responsibilities but congress. The genius of the founding fathers was that they knew that populations never want war unless genuinely threatened which is why that power is constitutionally assigned to 435 representatives and not one man. Trump’s goal is to force congress to reclaim that power and block any future, real dictator or shitty presidents.
To be clear, a better use of this type of executive branch effort is to arrest federal judges, and governors, and other state officials that are abetting the invasion of our country by non-Whites.He is ending the invasion but much more, the cause of the flood. He's going after the CIA and the corrupt British banking system we now live under. A direct assault would only lead to him getting assasinated. I think he is too selfish to allow that. I think the fake Butler, PA "assasination" was staged to take that arrow out of the CIA's quiver as a second successful assasination would be very difficult to cover up in the age of citizen-journalists.The wider issue is that under our system of competing mafias they still need “the people” to go along with the wars. This is called “manufacturing consent” (based on lies) ala Chomsky. With Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and WTC attacks we all know how that works by now. Trump is using a different strategy based on “manufacturing mandate” (by revealing the truth) and being on the right side of 80/20 issues and thus empowered to take political action.
Interesting observations about the assassination attempt on Putin.
Makes you wonder about Trump’s intentions when negotiating.
The Antichrist has arisen! MAGAtard lunatics are going mental in ecstasy of the coming Rapture. War will be launched against Iran to destroy the Al Asqa compound and “re”build the Third Temple. God’s army is bogged down in the Ukraine making slow progress westward at a snail’s pace; it’s only allies being the Godless Chinese and North Koreans in the coming battle of Armageddon. Prophecy fulfilled! Will the Defender of the Faith, Vladimir Putin have to fire off the nukes to save the World from the monstrous Evil that will shroud it, and seal the Antichrist and his demonic minions in the Bottomless Pit for Eternity?
Deus Vult!
There are reasons to be happy, as there’s a high likelihood that Maduro and Cilia Flores will be released and returned to Venezuela, thanks to their strong team of defense lawyers.
Who is the legal team seeking the acquittal of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores?

There’s no business BUT show business. It’s all performance art. Everybody is play-acting.
Again, I can’t really disagree with this line of investigation. I wasn’t clued in on all the details, other than recalling Chavez wasn’t a fan of Israel, but it was immediately what I thought on reading the response in the Jewish press. That this is more something to do with Jewish power. And Trump has been used, just like Bush was.
And if oil is a factor, it’s not for America to use this very inconvenient, and apparently very environmentally sensitive oil, it’s oil as a vital asset of a state that’s not on board with the script, to make sure it doesn’t use this asset, develop itself with it, to become more of a problem down the line, supplying it to, and teaming up with other states that hold a similar position.
When they have talked about ‘bringing democracy’, which they haven’t even bothered much with this time, what they mean is bringing Jew-worship, bringing Israel-worship, or if we can’t quite do that, just bomb them back into the stone age to set them back.
I have seen speculation that Trump might have had a plan in mind for the serious refugee explosion from Venezuela, a product of their own policies – probably well intentioned from their point of view, and then crippling sanctions. Aside from unwanted immigrants, this flood is also rife with criminality, human trafficking and exploitation.
It’s an interesting idea, I suppose one could argue regime change might facilitate that, but I’m not persuaded it’s the reason this has happened.
