The President of the United States just posted the following on his TruthSocial outlet:
“If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protestors, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go.”
You’d think Benny “Netanyahu” would spell better.
It is a terrible thing to “shots and violently kill peaceful protestors.” Unless they’re Palestinians, of course. Never mind. The illiterate outrage only works one way, cap’n – hadn’t you heard?
America’s first “Jewish president” has also been violently killing people in Venezuela according to the early morning news. How did America First become “locked and loaded and ready to go” in less than one year’s time?
Well, because Americans were fooled into believing they were going to get what they voted for (and voted against). Nevermind. The upside is like the upside of the “COVID” experience in that it has become obvious to all but the incorrigibly stupid that (a) every official orthodoxy is likely bullshit and (b) elections are as much Kabuki Theater as the whole masking/social distancing rituals were during “COVID.” It is an upside because while cynicism and mistrust are not as feel-goody as naivety and trust, you will feel better when you only trust those who have earned it – and not betrayed it. 
Trump is betraying it. He did not win reelection by promising to Make Israel Greater Again. Had he run on such a promise – plus a promise to attack Venezuela and continue American tax-cow funding (directly or indirectly) of the regime in Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeev – he’d almost certainly not have been reelected.
Some will say: But he has gotten the border situation under control, in the sense that thousands of “refugees” and “migrants” are not crossing unhindered into America each day. That is a promise kept. But it is a promise that will not matter if the nuclear-tipped Oreshniks fly – or something similar happens when America’s first “Jewish president” decides to “shots and violently kill” Iranians, who are likely to do the same to that explicitly Jewish state that no one dare criticize out of not just fear of being called an “anti-Semite” but perhaps being hounded (or worse) by agents of the state that is now headed by America’s first “Jewish president.”
Oy vey, as they say.
Now, having regime-changed Venezuela, what will he do next? An interesting authoritarian precedent – yet another one – has been set. The exertion of “law enforcement” power (with no legal authority) in and over a foreign country. Maybe Putin ought to have styled what he has done a matter of law enforcing?
Having become an American caudillo – much like Maduro, it is interesting to note – will Trump decide to rule as one in America? The fact is he’s already acting like a caudillo but maybe it’ll go full banana republic this year. If the Maximum Leader sees that “democracy” might not be going his was come November – only ten months away – maybe he will, in the name of the people declare himself President for Life. 
He’s gotten away with everything else so far. Who – what – would stop him from going even farther? The military? The same one Trump just sicced on Maduro? The same one he’s been siccing on American cities, ostensibly to round up all those Me Gustans?
Some will not like what I am about to say, but the fact is the military is a mercenary outfit. This is literally true. People sign up to get paid to do as they are told and this includes killing whomever they are told. What will the military do when Trump tells it to kill Americans?
They won’t be called that, of course. Instead, they will be called “terrorists” (the “narco” part being left off) and perhaps “anti-Semites.” And many Americans will be just fine with it.

The Venezuela invasion by the USA is an attempt to prop up the “petrodollar”, the unit of currency used worldwide to purchase oil products.
The USA dollar has been the principle currency used to purchase oil products throughout the world. This system was established in 1974 by none other than Henry Kissinger in order to prop up the USA dollar.
THAT is the reason forced regime change is being imposed on Venezuela.
Venezuela has been selling oil to all comers, demanding payment in any currency but petrodollars. This is causing USA interests to react negatively towards Venezuela.
The same situation existed in Libya which was set to demand payment for oil in gold, silver, and other non-USA currencies. This is why the USA assassinated Libya’s leader Ghaddafi.
If the petrodollar goes down, so does the USA federal reserve system. The only thing propping up the USA dollar is its use in petroleum transactions.
If Iran is successful in shutting down the Strait of Hormuz after an israeli attack, Venezuela will be the only large petroleum reserve in the world.
The USA dollar is on life-support, only being worth about 0.22 cents compared to its worth in 1970. It’s use as the petrodollar is the only think keeping it afloat.
“Every political and military figure in Venezuela must understand that what happened to Maduro can happen to them if they do not act fairly toward their people.” — Donald Trump, January 3, 2026
Well then, every political and military figure in the US better mind his Ps and Qs, and act with unfailing fairness toward every citizen. If not, the errant prostitician or officer should expect one or more foreign governments to intervene on the citizens’ behalf here, and use whatever force necessary to seize the tyrant (and maybe his wife, too), and then carry him away to face felony unfairness charges on another continent.
That’s the precedent, StraitGate, and my guess is that it’s going to get ugly.
Well then, Trump should take out Netanyahu. Since when has the leader of Israel treated his Arab citizens?
Amen, Straitgate!
Benny “Netanyahu” needs to be black bagged immediately and held to account for mass murder and genocide. Oh. That’s right. I forget sometimes. Mass murder and genocide are ok when done by certain chosen people.
Having a hard time caring. Lots of dimwiuts are talking about how Trump should have invaded Mexico or Columbia or some other country. Trump is likely to decide that’s a good idea, too.
Look, we’ve been through this before with Noriega. The 11th Circuit said being head of a sovereign country did not give him immunity, neither to drug charges, nor the invading his country and spiriting him away. USSC chose not to hear the appeal. Maybe they should have, but since they did not, Trump is on solid legal ground.
You may hate it, but, sorry, boys, that’s the law.
Whether or not legal under US law, what moral right did Trump have? Why try and justify the Orange Asshole? To give credence to piracy, theft, kidnapping, and murder because some black robed clown said such was legal? And what of the fallout that surely will come of this? Or when the tables turn? Or when they point the cannon at you?
“The court is civilized, ISN’T IT, PIG?”
If someone ever catches Benji Yahoo and makes good on his warrant, all of these same people are going to shit cinder blocks about how its so illegal and how heads must roll.
Maduro aside, how many people were killed that night to get to him? How much property was destroyed? We’re so firewalled by our propaganda generators/censors, we’ll probably never know for sure, but all of those deaths were murder despite the intended outcome.
Fabricated charges do not excuse atrocities such as this.
Re-read Steve’s comment and imagine a Barney Fife voice.
“You may hate it, but, sorry, boys, that’s the law.”
It’s the kind of ignorance or willful blindness which makes thinking people gag.

Hi Steve,
I agree with BAC’s comments/observations. That it’s “the law”? Says who? Is the president of the United States the head judge of the world? “International Law,” then? What a joke. Benny “Netanyahu” is an indicted war criminal and Trump receives him with honors. Meaning Trump has no respect for “the law.” We ought not to be surprised when Trump’s thuggery wheels around on us. Which it will.
‘You may hate it, but sorry boys, that’s the law.’ — Steve
You are repeating a point made yesterday by GWU law professor Jonathan Turley. During the excesses of the ‘Biden’ regime, he came across like a restrained voice of reason.
But like so many other fake, anti-libertarian ‘conservatives,’ when we shine a bright spotlight on Turdley in the dark totalitarian night of Trump, he proves to be just another stinking neocon cockroach, laying his filthy eggs in our kitchen.
Turdley doesn’t make the law. He’s just a fifth-column neocon clown, destroying what’s left of the law on behalf of his foreign masters.
Two neocon thugs laugh about their America Last agenda:

Trump’s speechwriters apparently just purchased the premium package at Roget’s. They’ve upped his repertoire of adjectives by at least an order of magnitude. Whereas before everything Trump touched was merely (and blandly) “beautiful”, now with his expanded lexicon his recent conquest in South America was all of these:
extraordinary (2x)
overwhelming
spectacular
stunning
effective
powerful
flawless
breathtaking
remarkable
formidable
finest
All that’s missing is “magnificent”, but maybe that’s so obvious it didn’t have to be said?
But a vocabulary upgrade isn’t all! Trump’s prose is no longer that of a mere pedestrian, but that of a poet:
“…captured Maduro in the dead of night. It was dark. …It was dark, and it was deadly.”
Of course, Trump reminds the world (and his owners) that without Israel this overwhelmingly spectacular and breathtakingly stunning flawless victory would not have been possible:
“We are once again a respected nation, perhaps more than ever. The Israeli-trained warriors working alongside U.S. law enforcement met the enemy in a highly prepared state.”
Lee Greenwood’s gonna have to write another verse.

Eric, it appears that no matter the vote, “Empire is gonna’ Empire”, not saying it happily, but it wasn’t difficult to predict we were headed for these waters “Bigly”.
Message just sent to my Freedom Caucus rep in Clowngress:
Trump’s acts of kidnapping and piracy against Venezuela are grotesque crimes. As your colleague Thomas Massie has pointed out, charging Maduro with possessing machine guns in violation of the 1934 National Firearms Act is ludicrous – a sick and bizarre parody of a Stalinist show trial.
Impeach Donald Trump.
Impeach Pete Hegseth.
Impeach Marco Rubio.
Do it now – before the incoming Democrat-majority Congress does it for you next January. Shut down Trump’s macabre sh*tshow … and LOCK HIM UP.
Excellent, Jim!
Venezuela Vice-President Secretly Discussed Maduro Removal With U.S. Last Year
Delcy Rodríguez the new “Interim” President of Venezuela, and her brother Jorge< attended secret meetings in Doha with Qatari intermediaries and a senior UAE royal, acting as channels to President Trump, to discuss the removal of Nicolás Maduro last year.
An initial proposal presented to the U.S. called for:
• Maduro to step down but remain in Venezuela
• U.S. criminal charges to be dropped
• U.S. oil companies granted access
• Delcy Rodríguez to assume control
That proposal failed.
A second proposal suggested Rodríguez lead a transition government, with Maduro going into exile in Qatar or Turkey. The U.S. rejected this as well, citing concerns it amounted to “Madurismo without Maduro” – a regime-lite outcome.
Rodríguez is now Interim President of Venezuela. Reporting indicates Maduro was unaware these talks were taking place.

RE: “Do it now – before the incoming Democrat-majority Congress does it for you next January.”
That’s been The Plan all along, hasn’t it?
The incoming Democrat-majority Congress, that is.
What kind of craziness do you imagine that to bring forth?
Teeter-totter.
Maduro To Appear in Manhattan Court as Trump Threatens Other Countries
Trump’s comments about Greenland, Colombia and Cuba offered a glimpse of how emboldened he feels after the quick capture of Venezuela’s leader — NYT
A raging narcissist feeling ’emboldened’ is bad, bad news. If one of them Delta Force helicopters had been shot down, the dogs of Clowngress and the frayed-collar presstitutes would be baying for his blood. But no-o-o-o-o: Orange Man Invictus is feelin’ lucky, punk.
His Cuban dwarf lieutenant, Little Marco, has got a notion of retaking Cuba from the commies. Those commies may be destitute, but they are decent fighters. (Are Americlowns?)
Trump is the most anti-libertarian president since Teddy Roosevelt. He is all about coercion and colonization. His Stalinist show trial of Maduro is a farce. The witnesses Maduro would need to establish his innocence are in Venezuela, unavailable. US courts were not meant to try foreigners for offenses committed overseas. If Maduro is suspected of drug trafficking, he should be tried in Venezuela where the evidence and witnesses are located.
Suborning America’s kangaroo courts with fake show trials is least of Trump’s offenses, though. The Mad Emperor has far worse in mind for us. Before its 250th birthday, America has lost its soul and morphed into a 21st century Soviet Union, run by Bolshevik neocons from the usual background.
Some piquant passages could be quoted from the Declaration of Independence, about overthrowing an irremediable government. Posting such wisdom from the Founders on social media likely would get one arrested. If George Washington were around today, he would be indicted as a terrorist. We’ve got no use for his kind anymore. 🙁
‘Maduro faces a range of charges, including “Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy” and “Cocaine Importation Conspiracy” as well as “Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices” with intent to possibly use them against the U.S.
‘Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., seized on the gun-related charges in questioning the authority of the Trump administration to take such an action.
“If this action were constitutionally sound, the Attorney General wouldn’t be tweeting that they’ve arrested the President of a sovereign country and his wife for possessing guns in violation of a 1934 U.S. firearm law,” Massie wrote on social media.’
https://rollcall.com/2026/01/03/us-capture-of-maduro-rests-on-criminal-case/
Can you spell ‘Stalinist show trial’? 1934 NFA, my bleeding ass. Effing clowns.
I’m hoping that the ATF never finds any evidence of Kim Fatty the Third or his squeeze owning any weapons banned under US law.
Probably Kim’s already under secret indictment for this:
‘North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, ordered the execution of several high-ranking officials using anti-aircraft guns. The most prominent case reported was that of Defense Minister Hyon Yong Chol in 2015.
‘Hyon was executed in April 2015 at a military academy near Pyongyang, in front of hundreds of spectators, for insubordination, including falling asleep during a meeting where Kim Jong Un was present.’
In this regard, Kim and Trump are exactly alike — disrespect is a capital offense. Already a lowly musician who refused to sing for his dinner at ‘Trump Kennedy Center’ has been sued for a million counterfeit dollahs.
It’s so true. The weapons charges are a clear and laughable affront to anyone with any functioning synapses. I swear things like this are done to show everyone that these people do what they want and you lowly peasants will accept whatever preposterous reasoning you are given as an excuse because you don’t matter anyway.
Preach on, brother.
BTW, FUCK America’s 250th birthday. I am seeing all sorts of things promoting it immediately after the new year, every time I scream “I SO DON’T CARE”. In 1976 the “Bicentennial” actually seemed cool but I was a little kid and that was a different time, although after the illegal Vietnam War there was really nothing to celebrate then either.
What if the government threw a party and nobody came?
The red hats will always come. They likes the rockets red glare.
Since Trump is acting as the God King Supreme being, outside of any Constitutional authority, I would like to give him a new glorious title which can be chiseled into his new Trump Arch:

Morning, Jack!
I increasingly incline toward the realistic chance that Trump will declare himself president for life without of course actually declaring it. Like Augustus, he will retain the forms of the defunct republic. Of course, Trump is more like Tiberius – without the military or other virtues. Hail, Caesar!
This may in fact be true, but DJT is an old man. And such a move would only be formalizing the system of tyranny we’ve all had lowered over us for the last 60 plus years. Hopefully it does some good and wakes some people up.
Conspiracy minded people who see what is happening to Amerika are now discussing if Trump is more like Caligula or Nero. Tiberius and Vespasian Flavian as well. The argument for Vespasian – came in and ended the chaos after Nero committed suicide. Biden created chaos – Trump ended it. Thus Trump is the start of a new dynasty, has sons like Vespasian, both Titus and Domitian succeeded him thus creating the Flavian dynasty.
On the other hand Trump has destroyed his base, and there is no way anyone wants the demonrats to take control of the nation after Biden – thus it seems inevitable that Trump will not allow anyone to come in an undo what he has started – ZOG imperium takeover of the western hemisphere. What is to stop Trump from taking Greenland?
The Zionists love Trump, he is 100% loyal to Israel, and Miriam Adelson has already pledged 250 million for his next re-election.
Ah-hem. This, is ~myopic: “I increasingly incline toward the realistic chance that Trump will declare himself president for life”
You seem to present, that a single man, represents The Blob.
There’s no need for, “one man” to occupy the office of the dufus. So long as, every one of ’em, is of The Blob.
…Can’t you see?
Morning, Helot –
Yes, I see. But I also see that the needle of history is often moved by the audacity (and insanity) of individuals. Trump is an example of one such. He has a mesmeric effect on millions. The less vulgar among us regard him as a clown. That is dangerous. Because he is an evil clown. See Hop Frog.

The REAL Reason We Just Invaded Venezuela (It’s Not Drugs)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYK-pNWVWjI
This seems very orchestrated theater. A couple of weeks ago I read a conspiracy thread that Maduro had made a deal to step down for billions. His capture seems staged, to easy, like how hard would it be for Maduro to escape capture in a jungle? IMO he was awaiting his arrest to be ferried out, do a mock trial, then spend the rest of his life in a posh resort with billions – with everyone believing he was incarcerated – which is why his wife was also taken. This reminds me when Ferdinand E. Marcos fled the Philippines, he took his wife Imelda. The Marcos reportedly left with 10 billion in loot, they first landed in Guam at a USAF base (Feb. 26, 1986).
Read the entire comment posted on Unz here:
https://www.unz.com/article/new-imperial-war-the-u-s-assault-on-venezuela-exposes-a-desperate-empire/#comment-7442866
Maduro may have been a CIA puppet all along, the USA has puppet regimes all over the globe, every once in a while the people protest and the puppet ruler has to be removed. In this case it was Trump protesting the nationalization of Venez’s oil fields. If Maduro was a US asset, that would explain why his wife was also removed and why he wasn’t wearing handcuffs at different times in his removal. Note how there as no palace guard shootout, and the military stood down. The whole thing looks staged, not one US soldier killed.
The big joke is the upcoming mock trial, what possible charge can they put on a foreign head of state? Maduro broke no US law. On the other hand Trump broke numerous international laws. Perhaps Putin should send in the Spetnazts to kidnap Trump and Melania and charge him with fomenting a war in Ukraine.
Remember Saddam? He was installed by the CIA, and then he went rogue and GHW Bush and Shrub removed him. Under Ronald Reagan, Saddam was our ally, Rumsfeld went to Iraq and gave them chemical weapons to attack Iran. Remember that? The Saddam was accused of having WMD’s. LOL – but he had them destroyed. So then Colin Powell held up a fake vial of yellow powder and said he had yellowcake uranium, which was also untrue.
I don’t understand all the shock and faux outrage over this. It’s basically a bunch of authoritarians acting like…authoritarians (how else did you expect them to act)? The so-called “father” of our country, George Washington, while acting in the capacity of President, militarily put down a legitimate protest of an internal tax imposed by Federalists, proving himself to be no different than his successors. The use of force for illegitimate purposes has been a hallmark of authoritarian governments for ages. If you vote, this is what you get every single time.
“ Government is not reason;
it is not eloquent; it is force.
Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. ”
Or the Heinlien variation,” An untrustworthy servant and a fearsome master”
“If you vote, this is what you get every single time.”
If you don’t vote, this is what you get every single time.
Ha! “If you don’t vote, this is what you get every single time.”
You’re mind is so captured.
Or, you’re funny?
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/11/eric-peters/what-do-we-get-when-we-vote/
That’s true, Steve –
But at least by not voting, you are not complicit. I used to believe as you do about voting. Trump cured me of such belief.
I can only interpret the lack of seething outrage and mass protests as a sign that Amerikans are now so pitifully hopeless that they can’t be driven to action by anything. Absolute jaded complacence.
Of course, some are enthusiastically accepting the kidnapping of a head of state and theft of a country as some kind of victory. It’s intensely sickening.
Our regime is the high school bully writ large. That’s all it is. Might makes right. And those type of people usually don’t stop until someone finally breaks their nose. That’s the only thing they understand.
You didn’t actually think that exorbitant dollar privilege was going to enforce itself, did you? It will be interesting to see if China flexes on Taiwan, or just skulks around behind our back plotting some sort of biblical type revenge.
Well, it appears that it would be quite acceptable to remove the leadership of Taiwan to “bring them to justice” on whatever fabricated charges that China might conjure and then just take control of the place, right?
China probably doesn’t have the nerve for that. Plus taking control of the place wouldn’t be a cake walk for them. But, it would make for some epic trolling of Trump, if they pulled the ole snatch n grab.
Since they realize dumping our bonds would be full on war, they’ll probably pull something like inflating their own currency to match the dollar, then buy every $$$ denominated asset in sight with it. Especially Silver and gold. It would be a clever end run around Team USA.
They don’t have to buy anything. As of the first of the year it’s now illegal to export silver from China. The squeeze on delivering physical is driving the price and it’s likely the massive FED money dump last week was helping Chase paper over defaulting on their silver contract margin call. Don’t overlook that Latin America produces around 25% of the world’s mining of silver needed to cover the supply disruption. Regime change is a rouse but the speed at which it happens under Trump is likely because he’s in the pocket of those who can’t wait for the nice cover story to develop through media narrative. But before you feel all high-and-mighty you, me, none of us can exist without raw materials for our comfortable lives. We’re neck deep in this mess, too. Without the auto makers giving Eric something to review and complain about he’s got nothing.
Yes, people quickly forget the reality of war, and most people, at least most Americans denigrate the study of history. Since all he wars of the last 80 years have cost us nothing (except our prosperity and a few hundred thousand of our finest young men), most people think war is one way violence, a Hollywood western sheriff shooting down the bad guys who deserved it.
When they get their real war, there WILL be four horsemen, flood, fire, famine, and pestilence, and all the actual progress for decent people will be wiped out and reset to frontier conditions.
Interesting, this: “But before you feel all high-and-mighty you, me, none of us can exist without raw materials for our comfortable lives.”
Key phrase: “raw materials”.
Silver is useful & pretty, howevah; I’m sure millions/billions of people didn’t need it in order to live for thousands of years gone by.
Anyway, I imagine Eric could write some good stuff about goat power, or donkey pull. Not too mention, duck feets.
…Oh, wait.

Since the US government is scooping up drug kingpins with oil, I’m pretty sure there’s oil on Albert Bourla’s property.
I have seen a few more American flags pop up in the last couple of days and I look at them with utter repulsion. WTF is there to celebrate? A decaying lawless country led by a petulant narcissist pedophile blackmailed by the evil leader of a genocidal country while 535 “elected” grifters do worse than nothing.
The “flag” at this point serves no purpose other than if one runs out of toilet paper.
There’s no glory or honor to be had in beating up on the kid in the wheelchair, which is (basically) what we’re doing.
I’m sure Maduro and his government well and truly sucked. So does our leadership. And our system is a whole lot closer to a totalitarian socialist dictatorship than we like to think. You know who else had (rigged) elections?
…
…
Stalin!
Actually 534 grifters…..TM is a genuine jewel…..if he were the norm we would be in tall cotton.
WTF indeed, MetalQueen. Sadly, that flag has become a symbol to be feared and hated the world over and I detest what is being done in our name.
At this point, even the statists whom I know are realizing the futility of voting.
Vote for slightly less tyranny – Get: the emperor of the world.
Vote for conservative financial policies – Get: socialism.
Vote for no more wars – Get: more wars.
Vote to make America great – Get: Make Israel Great.
Vote for someone to oppose socialism – Get: “I think Mamdani is going to do a good job”
Vote for release the files – Get: “We lied…it was just a hoax we were using to discredit the Democrats because we don’t really oppose the political things they do.
I’ve never voted in my entire life, but I’m always ever so slightly glad when a Republicunt wins- but within a matter of days, I’m always thinking that we would have been better off had they not won. As disgusting as Pedo Joe was, he did nothing during his whole reign compared to what Chump has done in his first year; never mind what he did during his first term….

Oh, Imperial expansion is *so cool* these days! Most of us were taught not to steal, but if you’re a socialist, you’re taught that you *can*, you just need enough people to vote for your theft, and if you’re an imperialist, you also can steal, even whole countries, as long as you have a big enough military. Morality doesn’t enter the scope in the least.
I’m so ashamed of being an American…… Sad thing is, as this world gets smaller and smaller (and tyrants get bigger and bigger) there is nowhere to go.
Amen, Arthur –
At least we have the power to “opt out” of complicity by refusing to participate in it, as by voting for any of this. They can still, of course, compel us to finance it – but we are morally not responsible for that anymore than the victim of a mugging is morally responsible for the mugger buying a more powerful gun with the money he stole.
The military has been bought off with perqs such as off-base housing allowances paying sweetheart zero down mortgages and VA “disability” benefits upon discharge.

The US government has a long history of beating up on Latin America (War is a Racket).
Why would we expect that to change?
Congressional puppets are parroting the talking points that run counter to US intel and reporting about Venezuela. They love appearing strong. They love a distraction from real issues.
When viewed critically, we are a kangaroo empire.
As predicted, reactions are following a party-line, sportsball pattern:
‘Arizona political leaders issued split statements. Both Democratic Senators, Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly [both military vets], released statements strongly disagreeing with the President’s actions in Venezuela. Rep Adelita Grijalva [D-AZ] shared similar sentiments on the actions, calling them “reckless, unconstitutional, and deeply destabilizing.”
‘[But] two candidates who are facing off in the GOP primary for Arizona’s next governor shared similar views about the issue. “President Trump leads with resolve,” tweeted Rep Andy Biggs [R-AZ]. Karrin Taylor Robson shared a similar message, saying, “Maduro is an illegitimate tyrant and narco-terrorist who blah, blah, blah.”

Dr Sachs states that constitutional rule in the US is over. What comes next? As ol’ Saddam Hussein used to say, ‘Anything is possible now, my brothers.‘
‘If Israel now takes this [Venezuela attack] as the cue for an attack on Iran, I think we’re headed toward very, very dire and unpredictable consequences.’ — Dr Jeffrey Sachs at 32:42 in the video
Maduro is a Jew?
“In a 2013 interview, Maduro stated that his grandparents were Jewish, from a Sephardic Moorish background, and converted to Catholicism in Venezuela.”

LOL. Well, then Trump should give him a blowjob just like he gives Bibi.
This whole thing reeks of bullshit. Yes, Maduro is indeed a goon and a thug and a socialist Chavez protégé. Which affects me not at all.
But like it or not, there has been a bipartisan consensus on imperial thuggery and intervention for well over a century. McKinley beat the fuck out of Cuba, TR beat the fuck out of Panama and Colombia, Wilson sent troops into Mexico twice, then you had the Banana Wars, then you had our support for Batista, then you had us overthrowing Noriega, supporting anti-Ortega “Contras,” you had the intervention in Grenada, etc. etc. We’ve been in Haiti multiple times, Dominican Republic, etc.
In fact, the ONLY guy to successfully defy the U.S. was the ONE guy who actually presented a serious threat — Fidel.
From a constitutional/Monroe Doctrine perspective, though, it’s total bullshit. No European powers have been trying to colonize Venezuela. Venezuela does not present a military threat to the U.S. Venezuela is not a major drug trafficking nation. Arresting Maduro and his WIFE on “narcoterrorism” and NFA “gun charges” is transparent bullshit, sophistry and thuggery. IF (a big if) Venezuela ACTUALLY presented a threat to the U.S. and was a haven for smugglers or was affecting U.S. shipping on the high seas, the constitutional thing to do would be to have Congress declare war and have the Marines deal with the problem, not kidnap and indict a foreign head of state.
The bullshit is difficult to stomach, as is the hypocrisy. ZOG is accusing Maduro of rigging elections and being a “terrorist,” LOL. As if that doesn’t perfectly describe what ZOG itself has done.
All of this is a perfect diversion from the debt, the tanking dollar, inflation and Epstein. The Fatmerican retards will lap it up in between watching Negro Felon League games on the telescreen.
“The Fatmerican retards will lap it up in between watching Negro Felon League games on the telescreen”
Hard to argue with that statement. There are people out there who actually spend up to $50 to watch grown men chasing a ball up and down a field. And they pay upwards of $9 to drink a beer or eat a hot dog. Circuses and bread just like in ancient Roman times.
They say that empires last an average of 250 years. We are at year 125. So quite a ways to go.
$50?
Surely you jest. Google-fu AI says it’s a LOT more than that:
“The average NFL ticket price varies, with recent estimates around $120-$130 for a basic ticket, but can jump significantly to $200-$400+ for popular teams or seats, depending on the source and year, with the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs often having some of the highest averages. Factors like opponent, time of season, and stadium luxury greatly influence costs, with some analyses placing the overall game day cost (ticket, food, parking) much higher, around $300-$500+ per person.”
Was thinking of taking Dad to a Super Bowl a few years back and recall a lot of tickets running 15,000. US fedbux. Hard pass.
I’ve never attended a professional football game. I’ve been to two college games. I think I paid $20 for one of the the tickets. I have attended many high school games but they were my high school.
In my opinion the professional players are just paid performers and have no loyalty to the city/state where they play. They go where the money’s at just like the teams. They don’t give a shit about the fans, They are in it only for the money. Just look at the Raiders, They moved to Las Vegas and left their fans behind. Itz a business and I will not give them one Phucking cent. Probably the only team loyal to itz fans are the Green Bay Packers.
Ahem ..ep,
Aren’t “We” celebrating “our” 250th anniversary this year????
Just saying
That’s what I was thinking, Expat. Or, at least since the Lincoln Conquest, which would still be 160 years.
In my opinion our empire started about the year 1900 at the conclusion of the Spanish American war. The war was started under false pretenses. Some one blamed the Spanish for sinking the battleship Maine.
After defeating the Spanish the USA took over the Philippines but the Filipinos were not to happy with that and started the Filipino Insurrection, also known as the Philippine-American War.
“Philippine-American War, occurred from 1899 to 1902 after the U.S. annexed the Philippines following the Spanish-American War. Filipino nationalists, led by Emilio Aguinaldo, fought for independence against American colonial rule, resulting in significant casualties and atrocities on both sides”
This was probably the start of the American Empire.
I think Sherman’s torching of Atlanta and subsequent March to the Sea was the beginning of the Empire.
As far as foreign conquest, you’d be right that it was 1898-99.
Yeesh, you’re both way too off.
From the very beginning.

I guess I see his pretzel logic in that if the British weaponized opium against the Chinese it stands to reason they might be following the same playbook against us. And it fits that the Chinese generally aren’t great original thinkers but are great at making copies. And I get that he really thinks that one man is capable of running an entire illegal operation.
I get the impression that everyone knew what Maduro was up to (just like they knew what Manuel Noriega was up to since the CIA funded him), but allowed the drugs to flow because at least he could be dealt with if he got too far out of hand. I don’t really understand what the motivation is here, especially since drug use by young people is at a low not seen since Prohibition. Is Maduro a Chinese puppet or a CIA puppet? Does it matter to Emperor Donny?
Morning, RK!
I have heard several possible explanations, including the distraction (from Epstein) one. Also the Zionist one (i.e., Venezuela had outlawed usury and was opposing the Rothschild banking order) a well as the oil one (which seems to be true).
The thing that worries me about this is it set yet another precedent/normalizes banana republic-ism. Ours.
Wasn’t Venezuela the base of operations for the 2020 election theft? With Soros money and Maduro’s cooperation the DNC hired Venezuelans to build the corrupted voting machines and develop the software that enabled the election fraud. DJT does not forget his enemies. Perhaps his motive was, at least partially, payback.
Also, in addition to oil, Venezuela is a significant source of silver, which is sorely needed by a vast array of American tech companies especially the space, AI, and medical industries; now that China controls the silver market; now that the American COMEX vaults can no longer support grossly over-leveraged futures trading in paper silver, now that major banks are trapped in a massive “short squeeze” in the silver market; and now that China has effectively banned silver exports to the US.
Another possible scheme is that the Blackrock and the Zionists will use Venezuela as an ideal location for Palestinian refugee camps.
Would be cool if it exposed the 2020 election fraud. Doubtful though, as every other opportunity so far for holding Bolsheviks accountable has been ignored. Like you said, probably has a lot to do with stealing natural resources. In addition to Silver, Gold, Rare earths, Its also rumored that the country has a large Bitcoin reserve approaching 100 Billion$.
‘The military is a mercenary outfit.’ — eric
Delta force took an oath of loyalty to the constitution, which states that Congress declares war (and dictates tariffs, too). But Trump illegally ordered them to ‘regime change’ a foreign leader, who’s been brought here for a drumhead Stalinist show trial. And if the heavily tatted zionoid freak Pete Hegseth is any guide, they are pretty damned proud of themselves. Fuck these traitors.
Donald Trump is the apotheosis of anti-libertarianism. He resorts to fraud (currency counterfeiting) and force (piracy, bombing and military intervention) as a behavioral baseline, while his foreign policy is totally suborned by a distant, parasitic little apartheid colony.
Had Trump’s illegal kidnapping of a foreign leader gone like the Bay of Pigs, the military might be considering a coup. But since no disaster occurred, it’s high fives all around and a taste for more of the same: pedal to the metal till the US-fuckin’-A smacks into an oak tree.
No country needs regime change more than the shambolic, Third World DC pirate regime. We demand Articles of Confederation freedom by July 4, 2026 — or just ‘pull it,’ as Larry Silverstein said about WTC-7.
Zion Don is our misfortune.
Morning, Jim –
Yup. And cops also take an oath to abide by and protect the Constitution. Yeah, right. The check’s in the mail, too.
Yup, they show up with a “We the People” sleeve tattoo and a shaved head.
Wir, das Volk their tats would say … if National Socialism were still our quintessential menace and bogeyman. But that’s so eighty years ago.
אנחנו העם [anachanu ha’am], the Hegseth-style tats of the federal antisemitism police now read in Hebrew.
Those of us who weren’t inducted in the arcane bar mitzvah ritual of Trump and Hegseth and Rubio can’t even read it. But liberally translated into English, it spells CUCKED COUNTRY. 🙁
Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer about covers it. Or perhaps Gott Mit Uns.
Gott is certainly not mit uns.
Looking at the Venezuela/ Maduro situation from the point of view of the non interference principle/ Golden Rule if large numbers of illegal aliens, people who commit criminal acts after entering illegally such as robbery, assault, drug dealing, fraud and other things an argument can be made that invading the country they came from may be justified.
The problem is that we broke it so now we bought it. Since we’re broke (if looked at honestly) how are we going to fix it? At this point no one knows and perhaps George Washington’s prescient warnings about foreign entanglements should give us some pause.
From all appearances they got the country with little bloodshed and property damage unfortunately asking a country that can’t fix its own potholes to rebuild a country in much worse shape is going to be a daunting task. God help us because at this point no else can.
Honestly, if I fix my potholes and you fix yours there won’t ever be a problem. But I have to be able to charge users for my materials and time, or the truckers will take advantage and wreck the roads for every user. But if you’re going to have multiple layers of bureaucracy under a huge and labyrinthine central planning government interfering in the process, then we can’t fix our potholes.
If we’re a smart empire and steal their oil, it may pay off. But we never have been that.
As far as Maduro goes, I read some months back several credible reports that Dominion was owned and operated by Maduro/Venezuela. Sorry, no, I don’t have the sources. So many of the leftist takeovers around the world can be traced back allegedly to Venezuelan meddling in favor of commie/leftist power.
I respectfully submit that there is a whole lot going on that we the people will never be privy to. This makes a lot more sense to me than diddling with China and Cuba’s oil supply.
As far as Israel goes, I’m entirely sick to death of their blatant and overt meddling in the USA, going back to the very beginning of their dirty little experiment and have quite a bit of sympathy for the Palestinians who had their property stolen. Accordingly, I have decided “antisemite” is a compliment.

If you search dominion Venezuela, you will find hundreds of denials and debunking by the usual sources. Which to me lends some credibility to the claim.
Morning, Nam!
This hypothesis is part of the Devolution narrative; it seems (like all things Devolution) implausible bordering on delusional – but I plant to look into it, because maybe. Of course, maybe the Nordic Whites are in cahoots with the CIA, too!
So he used the U.S. military to kidnap Maduro and his wife. I guess Melania is now fair game. Snag that bitch and waterboard her until she cops out. That is what the GovCo of the U.S. has become.
The world will not long suffer these indignities.
Mark,
This is a thought i had. A dangerous precedent has been resuscitated.
If it is ok for the US to do this, then it is OK for everyone to do it, including to us.
Yet again, the entire scenario was based on lies, to what real end I don’t know yet.
But I disagree, the world will continue to bend to the will of the US. They have to ability to stop it. The US is the bully of the world. Eventually, the victims turn on the bully and will punch him in the nose.
The world is, quite reasonably, averse to a nuke fight. So we will continue to see “spheres of influence” like Russia in Ukraine and US in Venezuela. And lots of back room deals and greasy handshakes.
1) What’s the point of securing the border, if in the process you destroy the country by other means?
2) Did his parents send him to daycare in Minnesota?
3) It’s not salvageable, at this point. It was a nice try.
Right, the US will defend peaceful protesters everywhere…..unless of course they happen to be protesting against Israhell.
And I thought “hamberders” and “covfefe” was the worst of it…
