There are several reasons why the US decided to bomb Venezuela and kidnap the Maduros, but the most obvious one is that Trump needed a distraction from the Epstein files.
There is also the possibility that the Deep State is framing Trump for crimes he may never have committed; they can easily manufacture evidence and pay, or blackmail, "eyewitnesses." At this point, one either believes we are f****d, or one believes that we who think and write about the evils of the cabal/elites/Khazarian Mafia are not the only good guys.
It is possible that Zionists released the Epstein information to light a fire under Trump. Essentially telling him to remove leaders who have criticised Israel's genocide and allow their resources to be stolen, or more damning information will be leaked...
It's okay for a soldier to stand down and not obey unlawful orders, orders that break US or international law. I hope that more US military personal find their backbones and stand down and refuse to carry on with this madness. It's high time to jail all the sociopaths and pedophiles in the White House. The wrong president has been kidnapped and put into the dock. #VenezuelaLibre
Thanks as always for your great work Mr. Hale, hope you're safe and doing well! Agreed on all points, and I think making anti-imperialism cool/mainstream and being opposed to genocide mainstream and cool is the biggest silver lining out of all this naked imperialist aggression and violation of international law. Such a crucial point you made too about socialist countries not being able to thrive and prove the value of their system because they are not given the chance to.
As for Epstein. https://www.mtracey.net/p/epstein-disaster-civil-liberties Intresting take. He has some previous articles which I havn't read. He and Taibbi have been getting flayed. It would be interesting to get a hold of the other files. It would also be interesting to get get volume two of Jack Smith's investigation. At this point I can't see anything causing his downfall. And don't forget if by chance Trump dies or gets impreached Vance would beome presiident. As for the rest of this I would agree. Any one who thinks this is about liberating Venezula needs his head examined. This is all about oil and minerals. It's pretty much the same reason we support Israel. It would seem that this is an impeachable offense. The Supreme court ruling has pretty much left him free to do anything he wants. But the Court can't rule over an impeachment.
Great article, as usual, but can I ask where you found or heard the evidence for such extreme allegations - “ files indicates Trump might have murdered one of the girls he raped, and committed many other heinous crimes. Another girl says Trump watched as her baby was murdered on a yacht and thrown overboard. This is what we’ve been able to glean from heavily redacted files“ ??
ZioNaxiDC CLEARLY has ZERO problem FUNDING & ARMING TotalitarianFascist DICTATORSHIPS in NaziUkraine, ZioNaziIsraHELL, Syria, Sudan~ across the African Continent, El Salvador or Ecuador etc etc etc.
So their GLOBAL DemocracyCRUSADE bullsh*t holds about as much credibility as a butterfly net holds water.
"It is not hyperbole to say that whoever leaks the unredacted Epstein files in full might just save the entire world. Those files might be the only thing that can save us."
Ricky Hale, thanks for this lucid, thorough report from Council Estates Media on the kidnapping and abduction of Venezuela's President Maduro by the United States’ Trump Regime. As I had occasion to remark in my own rather simple essay on the kidnapping yesterday:
.
“The Trump Administration” is too milquetoast a moniker for what is going on in Washington D.C. today. Hereafter, “The Trump Regime” is the only reasonable appellation to apply to the organized crime operation currently being conducted out of the White House, and for quite some time now."
.
"This is little more one can say, is there? When I awoke this morning to hear the news of President Maduro’s abduction, my reaction was very simple. I just immediately felt very sad. Sad for Mr. Maduro and his family, and sad for all of us.
.
The fact is that this event simply is not that all that shocking, and was eminently predictable. There is nothing about it that diverges markedly from everything we witnessed from Trump and his cohorts in 2025.
.
These actions of The Trump Regime are violently harmful, not just to President Maduro and to his family personally, but to all the citizens of the nation of Venezuela, and to the citizens of all of the nations of South America. They are violently harmful also to the citizens of the United States and to the rest of the world.
.
What is arguably the most powerful nation on Earth — armed to the teeth with all the military might that money can buy — is now being operated as a nexus of organized crime at the whimsey of a petulant needy baby-man gangster and his cronies. Sadness is the very least we should feel."
.
... excerpted from:
.
"Nicholas Maduro and Family Kidnapped by the United States of America; In an Israeli-Style Criminal Assault on Venezuela, the United States Military Forces Killed Hundreds of Venezuelan Citizens, Bombed the Capital, & Kidnapped the Nation's Democratically Elected Premier"
I would add only that I completely concur with Ricky that all we are seeing here, however, is the transition of the Amercian Empire from Imperialism With A Nice Face to Imerialism With A Nasty Face.
.
Certainly NOT an improvement, but NOT a major departure either.

Keep speaking the clear and simple-to-see truth.

there is this song
"maybe this time for sure"
seems to be on repeat

If only!!!
Never let us forget, that Latino Americans in general and Venezuelans in particular side with the human rights of Palestinians ... 🍉🍉🍉
Venezuela is not participating in the Isaac-Accords like Milei who got about 40B as a present.
