Venezuela: A Hard-Nosed Realist Analysis Of What Really Went Down

Uh, what the [ __ ] happened, guys? All

right, for two and a half years on these streams, almost three years on these streams, we have been um we've been going over

the role of drugs and the drug trade in geopolitics.

Been talking about this forever. Um the

world is shaped by drug politics in the same way that it's sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh shaped by oil politics, pipeline politics, agriculture politics.

The modern world was created by in many respects conflicts around the narcotics trade. If you think about China,

trade. If you think about China, China was the origin point of US government involvement in the narcotics trade

when the department of war in the 1930s and 40s supported the development of opium

uh by Shanghai Sheek and the Chinese nationalists against the Mauis.

Then the CIA took that over when the CIA formed in 1947. Not really took it over.

It's still a junior partner to the US military.

Um, but it became a a covert thing and therefore a CIA thing primarily as well as US special forces. Fort Bragg as

the new Seth Harp book details.

China exists because of the opium wars.

China exists because the British Empire took uh effectively poppy crops, narcotics,

drug crops on the Afghan plains.

The British Empire controlled Afghanistan in the 1800s and the 1830s

and then took Afghan poppy uh cultivated it in India and then sold it to China. And then

China had such a big drug problem, they tried to outlaw drugs and the import of British opium that uh there were two opium wars in the

1830s and the 1850s.

Uh that was how the British took control over Hong Kong.

That was how uh China existed from the 1830s to the 1930s. Mao rose and now the number one rival superpower to the US

who is a larger gross economy than the US and is probably part of the reason that we just did this in Venezuela because of China's

interests in Venezuelan oil. China,

modern China Mao exists. His campaign

was about ending the quote century of humiliation from the Opium Wars in in the 1830s when the British Navy bombed Canton and when

the British uh ar the British military took over Hong Kong and humiliated China and made it buy back all the drugs.

And so we now The British Empire effectively the blowback from our narcotics operation created

modern communist China.

And the same thing you can argue has happened in in many countries. But

effectively the the CIA through Paul Hawwell, the corporate lawyer turned CIA moneyaundering architect

would later go on to be the general counsel for Disney and help uh help create Disney World through Shell

Companies. Spearheaded this technique of

Companies. Spearheaded this technique of CIA heroin laundering that continued throughout the Vietnam War.

One of US A's first activities was was um buying private uh airlines

for the CIA narcotics trafficking to support Vang Vang Pow in Cambodia and Laos and then the drug trade with

proceeds to support the uh Vietnamese against the Vietkong in the Vietnam War.

Concurrently with that, the US government trafficked in cocaine in a in a huge way really built much of almost

the entirety of the commercialized cocaine network in Latin and South America.

uh cultivating the cocoa crops in Peru and Ecuador and in Colombia

and then using those drug proceeds in laundered through Cayman Islands banks, Panameanian banks as well as through the Vatican bank, which was the

original offshore bank before the Brits really set up the Cayman Islands, Jersey and and uh before the offshore

banking phenomenon of the 1960s exploded after the 1957 Suez crisis ended the British Empire.

100 from Applejack. Happy New Year, Mike. Uh us thanks for awesome insight

Mike. Uh us thanks for awesome insight throughout 2025. Here's to much more in

throughout 2025. Here's to much more in 2026. Dude, thank you so much. I really

2026. Dude, thank you so much. I really

appreciate the support. That's that's uh that's awesome. And happy new year to

that's awesome. And happy new year to you and your family, Applejack.

And uh this business of the US military

and the and the US intelligence services using drugs as an offset for US aid could think of as a sliding scale. So

here's the reason I feel forced to talk about that as well. Let me let me back up a little bit right now.

We had a lot of winds. The internet, I think probably to you guys, certainly to me, feels much much freer than it did a

year ago.

Uh, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube X.

I'm not none of my videos are getting flagged anymore. I I feel

flagged anymore. I I feel pretty much like I can say whatever I want. And the the only thing I need to

want. And the the only thing I need to worry about are my real life consequences, not my platform being lost for the time being.

There are lots of threats from Europe.

There's the bulcanization happening in many countries, Canada, Brazil, UK.

But the American internet right now, the Trump admin did a wonderful job cutting the grants, cutting the money spigot off. And I wasn't sure they were

spigot off. And I wasn't sure they were going to be able to do that. Now, it's

being laundered in different ways, unfortunately, through NATO's public diplomacy division and through these offsets being set up

by the EU.

But the next task for me in addition to this continuing kind of tech diplomacy work is taking on the NGO plex and these

big institutions like the Atlantic Council, the National Down for Democracy, which are still being fully funded.

And as I've talked about before, that one of the reasons that that is a daunting task is because these places

are considered critical to uh the Republican party's plans in Venezuela.

We covered in our last Venezuela stream about two months ago how the Trump the first Trump administration in 2019

tried to kidnap Maduro and failed using Jordan Gudro in the Silver Corp coup.

And everyone laughed about it at the time. Bell Bay of Piglets, what a stupid

time. Bell Bay of Piglets, what a stupid plan. you were going to go in with a few

plan. you were going to go in with a few men and kidnap the president of Venezuela. What are you out of your

Venezuela. What are you out of your mind? And then half his guys got killed

mind? And then half his guys got killed and all this. Well,

turns out that is possible, [laughter] you know. Um but

you know. Um but and now we're looking at it and you know my I had a kind of glimmer of hope for a second where I thought, well,

you know what? Now that Maduro is captured, maybe there will be less of a need for things like the national down for democracy because he's captured now. And then I

remembered, oh yeah, we have not affected regime change. Nothing inside

of Venezuela has actually changed other than just the head of state being removed. You still

have the entire government apparatus, the military apparatus, the hearts and minds of the people.

You'll notice Maria Karina Machado, the Nobel Peace Prize winner who uh dedicated her Nobel Peace Prize to

Donald Trump and was cultivated in the CIA spawning point of the Yale Jackson Center, Maurice Greenberg World Fellows Program, same place that cultivated our

CIA assets in Bangladesh and Russia. Uh

she has not been supported by Trump in this. See if I can just pull up just to show you guys what I think his

quote was doesn't have the support of the people.

What am I looking for?

aware of the location of opposition leader Machado and have you been in contact with her?

>> No, we haven't. We haven't.

>> Mr. President, do >> you have any hesitations about >> Mr. President on on Monday?

>> Oh, I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support within or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman,

the country. She's a very nice woman, but she doesn't have the respect to.

>> Guys, look, it looks badass, right? I don't know how the [ __ ] they they pulled this off.

One day a movie will be done about how they just went in and presidentnapped the president of the country with the

world's largest raw supply of oil with a couple of helicopters and just did it. Um,

but we the the die have been cast now and we are in for a wild ride and

We're going to go through on this stream all the different layers of uh holy [ __ ] I hope you guys have a long range plan

because even this Maria Karina Machado we after we declared Juan Guyaido the

president in 2019 and that turned out to be a joke after the 2024 election we declared Maria Karina Machado the president of the country our formal US

government position was that she won 70% % of the vote.

Kro4 says he was not the legitimate president. Well, who was?

president. Well, who was?

The answer we've given the world has been Maria Karina Machado on on Monday.

>> I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support within or the respect within the country. She's a very

country. She's a very It would be tough for her to be the president because she doesn't have the support or the respect of her country.

We were told one year ago that she won the vote. She was the president of

the vote. She was the president of Venezuela, the actual elected president of Venezuela.

Won 70% of the vote.

one year later actually she can't be in charge because she doesn't have the So what one of two things is true here either we

lied that she won the election or things have changed so drastically in the intervening uh period so many Venezuelans have uh immigrated to the

United States have have become refugees that uh what 21% of the population All Maria Karina Machado supporters just

migrated to the US.

Trump's last act in office, his first term, was granting temporary protected SAS to Venezuelan refugees.

And what we're getting in here, what we're going to get into as we get deeper into this tonight is something at the heart of the

Republican party.

And you guys may have seen this, but you know, Paul Singer, Elliot Management, hedge fund donor drafter class on the Republican side.

Here's from the Wall Street Journal.

Sitgo is a crown jewel of Venezuela's oil industry. Elliot is set to reap the

oil industry. Elliot is set to reap the benefits.

The hedge fund could soon close its proposed takeover of the refiner.

So Paul Singer, the one-time never Trump Republican mega donor. I think he was the number two

donor. I think he was the number two donor to the Republican party after the Adles.

Sec. Let me pull this up.

his hedge fund.

So we're we're back to the this is our sort of George Soros of the right type thing is going to reap

millions billions uh bec because we we seized control over Citco

the the lion the biggest one of the biggest oil companies in the world. You

guys may may remember Siko gas stations.

It was the crown jewel of the Venezuelan economy. They have the largest supply of

economy. They have the largest supply of oil in the world and their state and and their big oil company was Sitco

and we seized it during Trump won just just took the company, raided it,

held it effectively uh you know in a in a trust and just auctioned it off I believe to Paul Singer and his hedge fund Elliot Management.

It's taking a little bit to load here.

Let me see if I can find a different version.

Now, the justification for that, the justification for seizing Sikco was the crackdown on Juan Guyaido.

Juan Guyaido and Maria Karina Machado that that they were the real president of the country and that Maduro had stolen sitco from them.

So we used this kind of uh violation of international law and human rights

as the predicate for seizing sicko.

So if Maria Kim Machado doesn't have the support of the people then how do we have sitcom?

This is why so much of this so much of this is dependent on this trial is going to be insane.

In a in a previous trial for for one of Maduro's underlings, the court would not allow the jury to hear evidence that

that Nicholas Maduro was the the legitimate president of Venezuela.

I think it was Barl How, Judge Barl How, you remember, um would would not allow the jury to hear

evidence that Maduro was the actual president. It was presupposed. It was uh

president. It was presupposed. It was uh you know what's the judicial judicially ordered that it was an illegitimate president.

And I see Angel XDepth, you know, isn't uh isn't Rodriguez um grabbing the power there. And um yeah, and that's a whole

there. And um yeah, and that's a whole other can of worms. The Wall Street Journal would seem to suggest that she was a CIA asset. Of course, when but when you look at her speeches, she seems

as, you know, hardcore against the the US as it comes.

And let's see if this loaded yet. That's

taking a while. And so we're going to need even more of these NOS's. This is

what the Republican party will argue.

We're going to need even more National Endowment for Democracy funding. We're

going to need even more um you know uh pro-democracy US aid type funding, not just for Venezuela, but all of the the domino effect. We're going to need it for

effect. We're going to need it for Colombia. We're going to need it for

Colombia. We're going to need it for uh Nicaragua. We're going to need it for

uh Nicaragua. We're going to need it for Costa Rica. We're going to need it for

Costa Rica. We're going to need it for Bolivia.

So, so the predicate for for having sick go is like kind of destroyed by saying that Maria Karina Machado does

not have the support or respect of her people.

Okay. Well, the only other candidate was Maduro. So, who won the election then?

Maduro. So, who won the election then?

And then the predicate for this arrest that Maduro was this drug lord,

a cocaine drug lord responsible for 300,000 deaths on American streets.

That's what was cited in the Air Force One interview. None of those deaths are

One interview. None of those deaths are from cocaine.

Tell me, do you know anyone who's died of a cocaine overdose?

I know a lot of people impacted by meth by fent.

I've known people with a coke habit.

Uh we we're no longer in the crack epidemic.

Crack as a street drug is just not really around very much anymore. And

there's cocaine, but that's like high net worth individuals.

People that I know who do do cocaine are like, and I not close friends with them, right? But I just I've I've seen it seen

right? But I just I've I've seen it seen this happen in some of these circles.

They're like wellto-do.

I mean, we saw this with Hunter Biden.

I mean, say what you want about, yeah, co fentanyl lace laced cocaine, but the fentanyl is not Colombia. Those that's

made in labs.

It's not made in Venezuela. It's it's

it's a Mexico. It's made in labs in Mexico.

No matter how you slice it, before we even get to the CIA part of this, they are We want Venezuela

and we have created a predicate to take it.

Beyond that, you are being asked to hold your nose, close your eyes, stuff your ears, and go along with it because it's badass.

And look, I I it looked badass. Holy

[ __ ] And communists suck.

But oh man. Um,

oh man, this is an ugly one.

It's It's just not true that Venezuelan cocaine is the reason kids are dying.

And I don't believe it's true that Maduro was this big cocaine warlord.

I just posted it on my ex and my YouTube.

Venezuela Maduro inherited a countrywide cocaine problem in Venezuela from the Central Intelligence Agency.

the the cartel of the Suns claim, which was so this was something that you heard you heard the White House talk about this cartel

of the Suns. Cartel of the Suns.

That was a CIA thing. That was 19 That was the 1990s.

1992 1993 14 hours ago in the New York Times.

Justice Department drops claim that Venezuela's cartel of the Suns is an actual group.

Now, they had cited this in a previous indictment as the basis for rolling up these other Venezuelan officials.

And now, and that was supposed to be the reason that we blacked Maduro in the middle of the night because he ran the cartel of the of the

Suns.

But now once we've kidnapped him and stolen his oil company and gave it to the second biggest donor in the Republican party,

we drop it as soon as he's at at trial.

Why? because of what we watched. For

example, that 1993 60 Minutes where you had the head of the DEA, the Drug Enforcement Agency,

admit, not just admit, resign in protest because the CIA had imported 1,500 kilos of cocaine from Venezuela to Miami.

Venezuela was a narco state because from the 1960s through the 1990s during the Cold War,

the CIA was using the returns on these crops, the cocoa crops, and the ability to smuggle drugs through

things like bananas and and fruit as as a way to prop up anti-communist, largely right-wing governments or insurgencies throughout

Latin America.

And these cartels became a powerful lever for political control.

The problem is if you assert that cartel that the cartel of the sons is re is uh is real in court,

it's very difficult for the justice department to deny discovery to the defendant Maduro

about the CIA's role in creating it.

There's too much already out there.

Imagine if if we maint if the DOJ maintains the charge that he's the head of the cartel of the Suns and the judge grants a discovery order.

The the Maduro says, "I didn't run it. The CIA

did. And here's

1,600 points of evidence. I demand as part of my defense all US government documents in their evidence

related to the CIA and cartel of the Suns.

And then the DOJ has to have a court-ord subpoena for the CIA to disclose its entire cocaine import agency CIA drug

running in Venezuela and Colombia right on its border.

This is how we got President Bill Clinton. He was the governor of Arkansas

Clinton. He was the governor of Arkansas when Mina Arkansas was the CIA's import location for smuggling cocaine

to sell for cash to buy guns for the Nicaraguan Contra and Iran Contra.

The Justice Department has backed off a dubious claim that President Nicholas Maduro about President Nicholas Maduro. One sec

me I can this a little that the Trump administration promoted last year in laying the groundwork to remove him from power in Venezuela, accusing him of leading a drug cartel

called cartel deos souls, cartel the sons. That claim traces back to a 2020

sons. That claim traces back to a 2020 grand jury indictment of Mr. Maduro drafted by the justice department.

This was our justification for seizing sicko in July 2025. copying language

from it. The Treasury Department designated Cartel the Suns as a terrorist organization.

In November, Secretary Rubio ordered the State Department do the same.

Now, the Justice Department released a rewritten indictment that appears to tacitly concede that it's not real

cuz the because they wore these patches, these uh sun signs on their uh the old indictment referred 32 times to

the cartel of the Suns and describes Maduro's leader. The new one mentions it

Maduro's leader. The new one mentions it twice and says that he like his predecessor participated and protected in its uh its patron. So So they they

chopped down 32 times in the centerpiece of it to twice in a in a passing reference.

I mean look at that.

Gosh, that's crazy.

32 times and then poof, it's gone.

This was the same thing with Noriega, by the way. you know, cuz the the the the

the way. you know, cuz the the the the issue with Noriega.

We've been we've been told that this is just like what we do with Noriega, the Panameanian dictator.

Now, he had sought to nationalize the the Panama Canal, but we accused him of being a drug trafficker.

So, we blackedged him, put him on trial, and what gets left out of that story is that US prosecutors documented

long-term CIA and US military payments to Noriega. He got decades of CIA funds

to Noriega. He got decades of CIA funds and US military funds. again that CIA military drug running nexus.

In January 1991, the Washington Post prose uh reported prosecutors said CIA plus US military payments total to about

30 uh $322,000 over 31 years. That's in 1991 money starting in 1955.

for 31 years until he went bad. The

whole time, Noriega, who we effectively put into office in Panama just to go

against the left-wing communists using CIA drug money.

Then when he threatened to nationalize the Panama Canal, we said, "Oh, you're dealing drugs."

That's what the CIA, that's how he made his money. That's how

he rose to power. The CIA knew that.

That's why they were That's why they let it go on.

prosecutors le CIA army payments to Noriega.

We're going to take this bit by bit, but you'll note Noriega smuggled that money through BCCI,

the Jeffrey Epstein bank. As you'll

note, for example, it says between 1971 and 1986, remember Jeffrey Epste moved to Beer Sterns in 1976. That

very year, Bear Sterns set up its BCCI accounts to clear BCCI trades.

That's exactly the period that Jeffrey Epstein was working with Bear Sterns from 1976 to 1986 on the BCCI accounts, or at

least that Ace Greenberg was Jeffrey Epstein's mentor.

and that Jeffrey Epstein kept up with that exact same BCCI Safari Club network. BCCI was used

network. BCCI was used for CIA payments to Noriega.

Uh Linda says, "I'm not following tonight, Mike." You don't get the point.

tonight, Mike." You don't get the point.

point that I'm getting in at here is I think the world is in a a little bit of a state of shock right now about what

happened with the seizure of Maduro and he's not going home anytime soon. There

will be a public trial about all this at some point. There will be intense

some point. There will be intense maneuverings about the uh the motions for discovery

and every judicial ruling.

This has serious impact on the world stage about our dealings with China, about our dealings with Europe.

I was hoping that we would have transparency about the historical role of the US government in organized crime

and drug dealing in this administration.

When Tulsi put up the JFK files unredacted, I thought, "Holy [ __ ] there's a chance."

Um, as I watch this, I go, chances chances are pretty much faded.

This is this is rough stuff.

The point here, Linda, is I don't like Maduro.

Communists suck.

Um, I believe in the Monroe Doctrine.

I would like Americans to get wealthy.

with as good a deal as possible on resources situated in foreign countries.

This thing this thing stinks.

It stinks. This thing This thing is deep blobcraft.

This is This is a big old bag of [ __ ] We're blaming Maduro for the [ __ ] that we did. This is like when we blame China for CO.

Even though the US military and CIA, the exact same players here, it was the US military in 2018,

the DARPA grant to create foreign cleavage site inserts for a corona virus pandemic.

Madna had the patent to before the the outbreak even happened. Madna is a spin out of the US

happened. Madna is a spin out of the US military.

KFD76. I'll get to yours in a sec. I

just want to finish this point.

Um we, you know, the official response was China. China did this right from

was China. China did this right from from the Trump administration.

Come on man. We used Yeah, China played a significant part in it. The US

military freakazoid gain of function pandemic creating research was farmed out to China.

But we were the front end of that funnel.

We had the military put out grants to create co 19 in 2018.

It was done in the same lab at the Rocky Mountain lab in in Montana that was used to create Lyme disease in the 1950s to drop on the Cubans in the 1960s. As the

JFK files showed, it was funded $15 million by US A. US A

paid the Wuhan lab $15 million to do that corona virus gain of function work.

We farmed it out there and and we had to, you know, hold our nose, close our eyes, stuff our ears and say, "Okay, well, listen, we love Trump,

so is a sensitive moment in your heart of hearts. Don't you know the one of the reasons it's been

difficult getting transparency about the CIA's role in CO I mean and I let's let me add this to this. I want to go over actually this Rand Paul thing

now that I think about it. Rand Paul's

CIA.

Yeah, I think this is the one.

Okay, we we'll get to this. One of the reasons we couldn't get an answer about CO origins

for so long and it only started drip drip drip out 2 3 years after the fact was because that would point that would

point the finger right at the US military right at the US intelligence service. It it would getting an answer

service. It it would getting an answer about the origins would actually absolve China of a significant part of the blame. Not all of it. Obviously, the

blame. Not all of it. Obviously, the

Wuhan lab was super [ __ ] but we paid it to do the work.

We patented the the frigin virus before it even escaped from China.

And this is what I'm saying about the drug the drug trade.

I know it was a long shot, but I was hoping as part of the reform of this government, transparency about things.

I mean, this looked like an easy political win as well.

I mean, if you look at the the cocaine trafficking done by the CIA out of Mina, Arkansas, Bill Clinton was the governor.

OD and I could have Amina files. Mina,

Arkansas, the Mina files.

We're sorry that back in the 1980s the CIA traffic cocaine and just but have all the files associated.

Theoretically there's a unilateral declassification power at OD and could do it if you want, but that would blow up our ability to

run this op against Maduro.

And it's the same thing that just happened.

I mean, while this is happening, I mean, you probably saw this.

While this is happening, Trump pardoned the the basically we we the US government indicted

the ex-president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez.

He was indicted for drug trafficking, but now he's uh you know, he's seen as as a right-wing Trump ally. And so even though he was he was convicted by the

Biden administration of conspiring with drug traffickers using his government position to help hundreds of tons of cocaine enter the US, he was sentenced to 45 years in prison.

He's been pardoned.

There's a lot more evidence there than there is here.

I pardon him like last week, right?

Yeah.

I mean, it's like I mean, do I need to spill in all the fill in all the things right now? I

mean, another one of these big drug traffickers is is it appears to be Daniel Naboa in Ecuador.

I was asked to I shouldn't say this. Um

but he's considered to be a ally of the Trump network and so it was considered a big win when he won.

I mean he's sits on top of this narco empire in Ecuador which is the main point of shipment to the to the west coast in

this country.

But because the drugs fund the good guys in the eyes of the admin, they're protected in Ecuador. They're

protected in Honduras.

I mean, we saw this. They're protected

in Venezuela. We we went over this.

Juan Guyaido was also being backed by these same CIA cocaine networks. I think

it was even smuggled back into the country by by this narcotics gang. I

know it's there. We we we went over this. It's it's on the stream that I

this. It's it's on the stream that I upload on my ex. It would have, for example, been a big win in my view. If

you want to go out for the Obama network, Eric Holder, all those [ __ ] why did Eric Holder step down?

You guys remember this [ __ ] Everyone goes, "Oh, all roads lead back to Obama." All roads lead to Obama.

to Obama." All roads lead to Obama.

That's what everyone says, right?

Well, who was the main henchman? Who

carried out the law for Obama?

Was Eric Holder.

And then it was Loretta Lynch. But why?

Why did Eric Holder have to step down?

Anyone remember?

He was covering for the CIA's drug running.

Okay, that's what happened.

Eric Holder stepped down in disgrace because he was held in contempt by Congress

for stonewalling congressional mandated disclosures for government documents around Fast and

Furious.

Now, Operation Fast and Furious was a CIA, DEA, FBI, ATF, US State

Department inter agency approved operation to run guns to the Sinaloa cartel

to take out the rival gangs, the Los Zetas.

Now, there are these splinter groups like this new generation cartel because the Obama administration did not want to just go in and do what Trump

suggested of just taking these uh you know uh bombing a a sovereign foreign country that's also our largest trading

partner, Mexico. But they had a problem.

partner, Mexico. But they had a problem.

You had the Losas were doing things like Mexican cartels stealing oil

from pipelines to pockets. Mexico's

cartels fuel an oil theft.

Fuel smuggling in Mexico. Oil theft. A

multi-billion dollar business fuels cartels.

>> Time now for focus. And today we have a report from Mexico on oil theft.

Generally, it's stolen under cover of darkness, but it's sold out in the open on the black market. As you'll see in this report by our team in Mexico, some of the country's biggest criminal organizations have been getting

involved, and they're using bribery and violence to co-opt all sorts of officials. The epicenter of the crisis

officials. The epicenter of the crisis is Pueba State.

It's midday in Pueblo's wholesale market. Our team has gone undercover to

market. Our team has gone undercover to film an illegal activity that's costing Mexico billions of dollars. Among the

goods for sale here, stolen fuel sold.

So, so what they do is the same thing that we were training ISIS fighters to do in Syria. They're they cut open these pipelines and they steal the oil.

Well, I don't know if you looked at a map lately, but as we've talked about, the big power base of the Republican party

is three things.

Big oil, big military, big chamber of commerce.

The Democrats had everything else. The

Democrats had the unions. The Democrats

had the media. The Democrats had Hollywood.

What's created parody between the Republican and Democrat party has been that big oil, big military, and until

recently big business have been the counterweight to everything else. So there's been

everything else. So there's been relative parity that big oil is centrally located in Texas

in Houston and and from the supply in West Texas in the in the around the Peran basin like okay also with a shout out to places like Louisiana and

Oklahoma but Texas that's why you have the Bush dynasty that's why you have so much that Texas is the big Republican powerhouse state They have New York. We

have Texas.

Now, Texas shares this o these oil fields with Mexico.

Chevron has huge interests in Mexican oil. Exxon Mobile has huge shared

oil. Exxon Mobile has huge shared interests in Mexican oil revenue sharing partnerships rights.

Remember Rex Tillerson, the president, the CEO and chairman of the board of Exxon Mobile was made the US Secretary of State under Trump one.

So what happens when big Republican donors are getting their [ __ ] pilered, not even Republican, just big big US energy interests

are getting their [ __ ] pilferred in Mexico.

by the Los Sadus cartel.

Well, you can't just I mean Trump is kind of redefining what can and can't be done, but if you rewind the clock back 15 years to Fast and Furious,

the idea of sending in the US military to bomb a foreign country on its own soil in the middle of its own country deep inland.

I mean the logistics of it.

I mean imagine for example like China has got you know land here in the US that they own.

If uh if a if a gang in, you know, uh one of our cities goes out and uh attacks that Chinese farmland

and and the the government of China just came in with tanks and military aircraft and just bombed those gangs in our cities.

We'd think of that as an act of war.

Hey, what is the Chinese military doing?

shooting people and killing people in Chicago.

So what we had to do through covert action, through US military and CIA covert action was to work with our assets

in Mexico to take out the rivals in Mexico who were [ __ ] with our [ __ ] Republicans made a big deal about Fast

and Furious and it was a big blow to the Obama administration. They lost Eric

Obama administration. They lost Eric Holder over in disgrace and everyone wondered why didn't that investigation go anywhere? Why were

there no indictments over Fast and Furious? We were running guns to the

Furious? We were running guns to the biggest cartel in Mexico.

US guns. The FBI and ATF, who were the front end of that, worked out secret agreements with gun stores in Arizona,

in Queen Creek, in the exact place where Ray Eps and all these people, that whole that whole uh Phoenix area

to run them over the border to the Mexican drug cartels and that only became public because the serial numbers

uh you know for the shoot they end up shooting an American border patrol guy the cartels did with US guns. They

traced the serial numbers and then the gun shop said, "Uh, yeah, actually we um we had a secret arrangement with the FBI to not look and just give the guns. No

background checks, no nothing."

That turned out to be fast and furious.

It was US military, CIA, of course, because it was carried out on the homeland. FBI and ATF had to be the

the homeland. FBI and ATF had to be the front funnels for it, but it was inter agency approval.

So once again, guns and drugs.

I mean, we could in theory be having a transparency effort about Fast and Furious right now.

Everyone's talking about, oh, Obama.

Well, the problem is the more you get into it, imagine the scandal, all the internal documents, all the CIA

eyes only memos, all the ODNI, all of the US military coordination for running guns to drug runners.

Gee, do you you think the people in Venezuela are going to talk about that?

You think China's is going to hold that up to the UN?

And so even things that would be helpful not just for reforming the country, but that would be helpful politically for the Trump admin are impossible because

of this need to maintain this lie that Maduro is a cocaine kingpin.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I love the admin.

I support 9.9% 9.9 out of 10 10 things they've they've done.

I didn't want to talk about this, but the fact is is this is not as as simple a story as, you know, smash and grab and take the oil. I

mean, look, to to break up add some levity to this, I think, look, Andrew Tate, to his credit, had a pretty funny take on this. I'm going to I'm

just going to play this now.

Why is kidnapping the president of Venezuela funny, but the wars in the Middle East, I was against? I know a lot of you are

against? I know a lot of you are confused, so listen up.

I'm all for efficient imperialism.

I don't like when we try and be imperialist and it doesn't work.

Efficient imperialism is a is a great is a great phrase. This is something that I think a lot of people

got wrong about me when they first came across my content. I I'm not like an anti-imperial leftist. I have a bunch of

anti-imperial leftist. I have a bunch of links we're going to go over from Max Blumenthal's work on all this who has done heroic work in chronicling a lot of the

um the the covert CIA angles on all this stuff, but I come at it from a very

different frame of reference. Uh I I'm I'm not like a uh anti-imperialist

leftist Marxist type. I I don't believe that there's a difference between empire and the rulesbased international order

in in 1948 when the UN declaration on human rights was formed. Again, if you just go to the top of my profile and you just watch that video on the history of the intelligence state, I go through all

this from the 1940s to present.

1948 when the rules based international order was constructed. It was supposed to end the age of empire and all the Europeans began giving up their colonies and

we uh there was an international human right to national sovereignty to protection against uh a violation of

international law to do a invade a country with with military force and occupy it militarily.

But that did not end the age of empire at all. It just forced people to lie

at all. It just forced people to lie about it.

It just forced us to no longer have a viceroy, an imperial viceroy run a country. Instead, we have to call it a

country. Instead, we have to call it a democratically elected or selected or or not even that,

right? I mean, Silinski wasn't is not

right? I mean, Silinski wasn't is not elected. He canceled elections 5 years

elected. He canceled elections 5 years ago 3 years ago. I mean, he can I mean, he won in 2019. It's now 2026.

So, it's been 7 years since there's been an election.

supposed to be a five-year term.

I mean, Jame Carzi was not elected by the Afghani people. While his brother, by the way, was the drug lord of the entire country. And under US

military occupation, Afghanistan went from 0% of the world's heroin to 95% of the world's heroin. All under US military occupation.

Now, Taliban was about 70% of the world's heroin up until the late 1990s.

And then the Taliban banned poppy cultivation and then the US military took it over and then turned it into a drug field used to support our

counterinsurgency and to support our militants in the toppling of Bashar al-Assad in Syria.

But this like this this I I agree with this. I would rather us be honest about

this. I would rather us be honest about it and recognize the world is dirty.

And that's if there was honesty about this Venezuela thing, I could get in a place where I'd come around to it. But I don't I don't want

to be lied to that I have to believe this is about Venice Maduro's cocaine.

Give me something better than that. I

mean it I I we just watched how the CIA constructed the entire cocaine state in Venezuela. And not only that, the CIA,

Venezuela. And not only that, the CIA, not Maduro, this is 5 years before Maduro got in power.

The CIA shipped 1500, at least 1500 kilos of cocaine to Miami to be sold to Americans.

We we we were lied to that Noriega was the drug deal of Panama. Then it comes out as we're prosecuting him. Oh, by the way, the CIA paid him $330,000

in 1980s money.

And I and I feel like this is going to put Trump supporters in a very tenuous position arguing this point.

You know, I I felt comfortable standing on business about about shutting down the global engagement center. Standing on business

engagement center. Standing on business about the shutdown of US aid.

Elon said it right. Yeah. It's it

sometimes you bite into an apple and there's a worm.

Sometimes you bite into something, you think it's an apple, but it actually the whole thing is just worms. USA was just worms. I could defend that honestly, proudly, loudly

ahead of the midterms, ahead of the 2028 election. I could say, damn straight,

election. I could say, damn straight, damn straight, we did it.

Damn straight, it was a goddamn good thing. Not only that, it was a she get a

thing. Not only that, it was a she get a Nobel [ __ ] peace prize for doing that.

This is going to be a major talking point. What do you think like left-wing

point. What do you think like left-wing universities are going to be saying about this? Now, they're going to be

about this? Now, they're going to be supporting Maduro because, you know, he's an anti-Trump socialist.

And when they bring that up, what are you going to what are you going to say if you know that this is not true?

We'll go through the indictment here, but if you know that this is not true, that Maduro I mean, and even the Justice Department knows it's not true because that's why the superseding indictment

cuts out 30 references to the cartel, the Suns, the How will you defend it? I mean, if you defend it by saying

Monroe Doctrine, again, Monroe Doctrine was about stopping foreign powers from meddling in the Western Hemisphere.

It's not like a a right to just like black bag elected presidents in the dead of night.

And and you can say, listen, it's it's strong action and [ __ ] international law and all that.

Everybody else has said [ __ ] international law. The EU said [ __ ]

international law. The EU said [ __ ] international law. Brazil said [ __ ]

international law. Brazil said [ __ ] international law.

But this indictment does not say [ __ ] international law.

We're rewriting the rules. It's our oil.

We're taking it.

Maduro's a [ __ ] Maduro's a shitty dancer.

No, the [clears throat] the charges as I understand them are are that he's

if I'm getting this right and we'll go through this indictment in a second here.

Nicholas Maduro and his wife have been indicted in the Southern District of New York. Again, that's the same place that

York. Again, that's the same place that was used to jin up fake charges against Trump. Do you guys remember the Southern

Trump. Do you guys remember the Southern District of New York?

That's the worst jurisdiction.

[laughter] The Southern District of New York was that was the principal place used to go after Trump and his allies. That's who

went after that's who got Rudy Giuliani.

That's who got uh Steve Bannon.

That's who got Doug Mackey.

And we all complained it was long armed jurisdiction. You know, this uh total

jurisdiction. You know, this uh total [ __ ] to just wrangle people from out of state. Steve Bannon never didn't live

of state. Steve Bannon never didn't live there.

Trump didn't live there. None, you know, none of them did.

They just go in and yoink.

And that's the place we use for this.

He's been charged with naroterrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, conspiracy to possess machine guns. So these are the

charges.

Cocaine and possession of guns.

He's the president of Venezuela.

How is it a crime to possess machine guns?

Like I understand if if she and China has machine guns, we can we can black somebody else possessing machine guns. This is not

chemical weapons. They didn't even

chemical weapons. They didn't even bother with the Syria hoax. Oh, he's got chemical weapons. He's he's got weapons

chemical weapons. He's he's got weapons of mass destruction.

Machine guns.

What I'm saying is there will be debates about this and at some point you are going to need to put your defense

if if you support if you're trying to support Trump or JD Vance or or Secretary Rubio.

Not now while everyone's giddy but in time. And and how will you

time. And and how will you How will you defend this without lying?

KFD76 is I think it's about the stolen 2020 election in the machines. Okay.

Well, why why isn't that the indictment?

If you got the evidence, if you got the goods on Smartmatic, which was run by what I think it's the president, the head of its board of directors was Lord Malik Brown from the Open Society Foundation. The Open

Society Foundation president was on the board of Smartmatic, the Venezuelan voting machine software protected by Chris Krebs and SISA for all that [ __ ] It's not what he's charged with though.

You're going to have to defend this.

The only way to defend it is by either lying or not knowing the truth.

And not only that, when you defend this, you are you are you're seeding ground to but

if if you if you endorse this, you are endorsing by proxy everything that follows from here.

You are endorsing the need for the N because here's the thing. We have not achieved regime change.

The Venezuelan government is still in place. Venezuelan military is still in

place. Venezuelan military is still in place. The hearts and minds of the

place. The hearts and minds of the Venezuelan people are totally unchanged except probably now more supportive of Mador because they just the president

just got blackedged.

If China came in and kid and blackged Trump in the dead of night, just flew Chinese helicopters into Mara Lago, blackged him, and then put a multi-year

trial, you know, that they'll probably drag out or whatever in Chinese kangaroo court.

That would probably make a lot of Americans who don't really care about China suddenly go, "Fuck that, USA. [ __ ] them." And we heard Trump himself

them." And we heard Trump himself again the predicate for this was the that Maduro

was not the real president. Maria Karina

Machado was.

I think that was in her Twitter bio too, right? Like she was the president of

right? Like she was the president of Venezuela.

And now we're saying actually we have so few hearts and minds that are pro- US in Venezuela that even the person we said won the election who

is pro- US has no support and no respect from her own countrymen or people in government.

We have not regime changed Venezuela.

Now, this gets to this Deli Rodriguez issue, which is we're we're to be told that Deli Rodriguez, I believe the Wall Street Journal seemed

to suggest that she may have been one of the CIA sources. Hold on a second. Dussy

sources. Hold on a second. Dussy

Rodriguez's father was tortured to death by a CIA backed Venezuelan regime led by the same families behind Machado. It's

probably true.

Okay, so this this is one I was looking at. Sure seems like Deli Rodriguez was

at. Sure seems like Deli Rodriguez was the CIA source on the inside who set up Maduro and hand him to the United States.

The US operation to capture President Maduro at the weekend and spirit left in charge a woman Washington already knew well. Vice President Deli Rodriguez.

well. Vice President Deli Rodriguez.

Rodriguez, a candy political operator, was envisioned as head of a transitional government in secret talks that her brother Jorge led with Washington last

year about a postmaduro future, said two people familiar with the discussions.

The Trump admining that they were building this transition around Deli for some time now, said an investor in Venezuela.

They don't see her as being a lap dog, but she was always the one who was most constructive in all the negotiations with the US. And her brother was in secret talks according to I think

this is Wall Street Journal. Now that's

if you if you look at I mean she's [music] if that is true because this is what all the leftwing blogs are

speculating that she was the she was the one. So, I mean, she's

one. So, I mean, she's I mean, she she is she rails against the US and all of her talks, but now she's going to be the president of the of

Venezuela. I mean, she's like a hardcore

Venezuela. I mean, she's like a hardcore fire brand, it seems, from all these talks you see of her. And evidently, her father was tortured or killed by the CIA

backed pre Hugo Chavez regime.

if that's true.

I know that she controls a lot of business interests in Venezuela and but it might be true that despite her tough talk, she's she's more

open to doing business, privatizing certain industries, um giving government contracts to um US

and British and Spanish firms. And that may be the end goal here is not

a full-scale regime change in the classical sense. not a military coup or a color revolution, but rather simply putting a different

person as the head of state simply by taking out the top person because that next person is believed to be better for

business and will make compromises. So,

not really a full vassal state like you get in a military coup or a color revolution, but rather something that moves the ball forward.

the rights to certain oil and minerals in exchange for the alleviation of certain sanctions.

That may be how things settle and in which case it's very cheap.

You know, it's it's not it's not a mil US military occupation. It's not us needing to fund a billion NOS's to do it, but it's dirty when you do it on these grounds.

Now, this is another thing is like a lot of these activities that that are going on right now. What

Trump bombed Nigeria right before he did this and we've got special operations going on in Somalia.

Everywhere you have these operations, you have masses and masses of protected immigrants, protected by the Justice Department, protected by the media and

the Pentagon media. We went over this a million times with the Columbus, Ohio being the launch point for the US war interference in the civil war in

Somalia. And then Columbus, Ohio becomes

Somalia. And then Columbus, Ohio becomes the second largest Somali population in the United States.

And then we use the the remittance proceeds to fund our side, the CIA backed side of the civil war.

And we saw this in Afghanistan. It

wasn't until that Afghan guy shot two National Guard members that we shut down the Afghan immigration issues. But the

Afghan situation is the same.

Afghanistan is a is is a drug zone since the since the early 1800s.

In theory, you could go after the the whole Biden family for for narot trafficking for cultivating and and Obama and all

the way back to the you know the Bushes for the for the scandal of creating a narco state, the same one

they accused Maduro of doing for cocaine, but doing that for for Poppy and heroin and opium in Afghanistan.

But again, we're back to this CO thing.

You have to you have the world is a dirty place.

As I said the night that the US aid shutdown was announced in February of last year.

The goal is not to end US soft power.

It's to make it a little bit more honest.

And I I don't like I don't like the dishonesty of this. But

I guess no other predicate was possible.

And the time was ripe.

So let's just I just want to read a little bit of this because I haven't actually read it yet. For over 25 years, leaders of Venezuela have abused their position of public trust and corrupted once legitimate institutions to of tons

of to import tons of cocaine to the US.

And if you remember, again, it's the top of my feed right now on X. We watched as not only did the CIA run the cocaine trade inside of Venezuela.

Not only did they set it up with the Venezuelan military, but then the CIA threatened any CIA insiders to stop them from talking to the press about it.

Nicholas Maduro is at the forefront of the corruption that has partnered with co-conspirators.

He uses illegally obtained authority in the institutions he corroded to transport thousands of tons of cocaine to the US. Illegally obtained authority.

So they're saying Maria Karina Machado is actually the the rightful president, right? Because there was an election

right? Because there was an election last year 2024 was Maria Karam Machado versus Maduro.

We're not calling because if you because if indeed the plan was to get Deli Rodriguez as head of state as she now is if Trump endorses Maria Karina Machado,

he's just pissed off who he hopes to be his main trading partner.

I mean, how do I how do I defend this in light of throwing Maria Kamachado under the bus? SA Weld says, "Chill on the

the bus? SA Weld says, "Chill on the criticism. We don't know yet." like

criticism. We don't know yet." like

I'm not I'm not again I think this is a fantastic administration but I call it as I see it.

Okay. This is not like an election, you know, it's not like a presidential election year where you need to kind of like like I I'm running into these dynamics

talking to people in the admin.

We lost the fight to shut down the national down for democracy.

We lost that fight.

IRI, NDI, Solidarity, all these there.

And I watched this happen in Trump one as well where bit by bit the system gets its

hooks in people even good people.

You go along to get along cuz you've got friends.

And every friend of yours has a different sacred cow, special interest, something you don't [ __ ] with.

And you make enough friends and suddenly you don't [ __ ] with any of them. You

don't [ __ ] with any sacred cow.

And then you are a system guy yourself.

That's not me.

Okay. So all right. says that he provided diplomatic passports to drug traffers.

He's the head of state though as okay as Venezuela's president and now de facto ruler. I guess they're saying he's president but he got it illegally by stealing the election. I

guess that's the implication.

He now sits a top a corrupt illegitimate government has leveraged government power to again there is drug trafficking but

these networks it's like they're charging him with not getting rid of the cocaine state constructed by the CIA.

Okay. So saying that he's gotten powerful and rich off of a cocaine network underneath of him.

Okay. Yeah. the FARC,

Trendoragua, the Sinaloa cartel. He said

they partnered with narot terrorists like the Sinaloa cartel. By the way, this is why you can't get transparency around Jeffrey Epstein, too.

Okay, so if you're telling me, hey, chill.

Hey, chill, Benz. Stop with the criticism. Okay, did you have any

criticism. Okay, did you have any criticism about the the Jeffrey Epstein stuff?

Well, guess what? Epstein was a drug trafficker.

Rolling Stone.

Was Jeffrey Epstein a spy?

Told several people that he was making a fortune out of arms, drugs, and diamonds.

as we've covered all the all the illicit CIA weapons trades at at BCCI that Bear Sterns

was facilitating and clearing the Adan Kosogi, the Douglas lease, the Houd Barack, all the arms, but it's also the drugs. If you remember

the drugs. If you remember when when Gla Maxwell when Gla Maxwell was interviewed by the

Justice Department under oath for a sit down interview from prison, she was asked directly by the DOJ's Todd Blanch to give an example

of the kind of business transactions Jeffrey Epste would do. And she says, "So let's say you have El Chapo. Oh god,

don't know where he comes from, but anyway, we've got El Chapo and El Chapo's laundering money or he's working with the Sinaloa cartel and he steals money from the Sinaloa cartel and he moves it to wherever. So he's got stolen

money from the Sinaloa cartel."

And then Glenn Maxwell continues and says, "Just come up with something in my head." And the Sinaloa says to Jeffrey

head." And the Sinaloa says to Jeffrey Epstein, can you track down my billion dollars that the other cartel stole from me? and Epstein would go and find the

me? and Epstein would go and find the billion dollars and take a portion of the money that was stolen at a fee on a percentage basis.

Now, I just told you that during Operation Fast and Furious under the Obama administration, the CIA cut a deal with the Sinaloa cartel.

The CIA was partnered with the Sinaloa cartel. Gain Maxwell, the example she

cartel. Gain Maxwell, the example she gives of Jeffrey Epstein's business is Jeffrey Epstein being partnered with the Sinaloa cartel while the CIA is

partnered with the Sinaloa cartel.

And what am I forced to accept in this indictment?

That Maduro's crime is that he partnered with Narcos from the Sinaloa cartel.

What am I supposed to do with this?

then declassify every CIA document about the Sinaloa cartel because it sounds like it sounds like the CIA was working with the Sinaloa cartel. It

sounds like Jeffrey Epstein was working with the Sinaloa cartel.

If you're if if you if if if the enemy here is the Sinaloa cartel, how come we've got no transparency from our own spy agencies who cut a deal with the Sinaloa cartel to give them immunity?

This is the testimony in court.

Let me read this to you. Fox News

reporting this in 2011. US agents cut deal with Mexican drug cartel. Court

documents say US federal agents allegedly cut a deal with the Sinaloa drug cartel that allowed it to traffic tons of narcotics across the border.

The allegations are made by Vincente Zambata Nablé, a top ranking cartel boss x-rayed to the US last year on drug charges.

He's a close associate of El Chapo.

Oh, that's funny because this is exactly who Galain Maxwell gave the example of of Jeffrey Epstein's business model working with El Chapo

and the Sinalois.

The deal allegedly began with Hberto Loya Castro, a Sinaloa cartel lawyer who became an informant for the DEA after a drug case

was dismissed in 2008.

So they charged him with narco trafficking.

Then the Justice Department dismissed the case and struck a secret deal for divide and conquer to support the Sinaloa cartel

against the Zetas, the new generation where the US the secret deal. So they

dismissed the charges against the This is Fox News reporting this.

So the Sinaloa cartel quarterback, they strike a secret deal where the US will help finance and arm the Sinaloa cartel through Operation Fast and

Furious to dismantle rival cartels.

And Mexico is where the actual drug deaths are coming from.

Mexico is where the fentanyl is cooked.

Mexico is where the meth is cooked.

I I I can't close my eyes and just and just lie to myself that this is anything to do with

stopping drugs. It doesn't.

stopping drugs. It doesn't.

Venezuela is not the main way that drugs come here. Ecuador is. But we'd like the

come here. Ecuador is. But we'd like the president of Ecuador, Daniel Naboa, despite him personally sitting at top Nabboa Trading, which has been busted

like a dozen times trafficking cocaine using bananas.

But because we like him, the drug money is good money. It it's

capacity building of our assets in Ecuador and throughout the region.

Here's the court motion in this case. The US government entered into conspiracy with one of the largest drug cartels in the world.

Government has acknowledged that agents knew that Loya Castro is meeting a regular if not daily basis with El Chapo Mayo and other leaders of the cartel.

Yet the DEA and other government agents never used him to locate them.

Ly Caster sat in on meetings with DEA agents in which they discussed DEA operations and alerted him with Mexican authorities were con were conducting investigations which could endanger the

cartel's leaders.

So the DEA, which is just an arm of the CIA, if you read any books on this, you'll know what I'm talking about.

The DEA CIA would give the Sinaloa's main lawyer who met on a daily basis with El Chapo a heads up when Mexican authorities were conducting

investigations into the heads of the Sinaloa cartel.

So the DEA and CIA were working with the Sinaloa cartel's lawyer quarterback to alert them whenever the Mexican

authorities were looking into the cartel bosses.

And then you end up with a string of these Mexican authorities getting assassinated.

Were they assassinated because they they were tipped off by the CIA that those Mexican officials were investigating them?

And on the Jeffrey Epstein front, we covered this. I'm going to pull up a

covered this. I'm going to pull up a couple things here. Oh, and by the way, I should note Juan Guyaido was one of the largest single recipients of US aid support.

You see him below with members of the Colombian Narco cartel who assisted us a you know the Venezuela aid stunt here.

Juan Guaido and US Aid.

Now, we're going to try to do this in Colombia too.

Because the Gustavo, the head of Colombia, sucks. Also,

Colombia, sucks. Also, there's this axis. Brazil, Colombia,

and Venezuela. Colombia changed

government in 2022 to this hard leftist.

I don't like him. I want him out.

But the idea, he's actually trying to shut down a lot of the cocaine stuff that was set up by George Bush in the 1960s when George Bush was a CIA company

man.

Colombia inherited that that cocaine problem. There are so many ways to go

problem. There are so many ways to go after these people for the [ __ ] up [ __ ] they do.

But we're using this [ __ ] predicate because that's what allows you to break out the heavy guns.

So, I'm going to need to hold my nose when we go after the because Trump said that about Colombia, right? Didn't he

say that about Colombia? Uh whether or not he's next and that's Venezuela is very sick.

Colombia is very sick, too. Run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States.

Oh, come on.

It's since the 1960s, the US military and CIA have used Colombia as the base of operations for the entire cocaine trade in the Western Hemisphere.

The idea that the president who got into office in 2022 set that up.

Oh, that's a tough pill to swallow.

George Bush, George HW Bush was doing coke jobs in in Colombia.

We the whole Venezuelan opposition was backed by Col Colombian CIA cocaine money.

Anti-drug unit of CIA sent ton of cocaine to the US and I know I put that link but Juan Guyaido Maria Karim Machado Leapto

Lopez that whole network is is Colombian cocaine gangs.

It's like with the universities. There's

so many ways to go after the universities and they did like the, you know, the anti-semitism thing. It's

like, well, now you're creating this predicate where it's like, okay, so hate speech is the reason.

Not for all the CIA gay ops that they do, not for the Russia gate [ __ ] not for the shadow diplomacy.

So, but anyway, what what Trump says here is >> man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States and he's not going to be doing it very long, let me tell you.

>> What does that mean? He's not going to be doing it very long.

>> He's not doing it very long. He's he has uh cocaine mills and cocaine factories.

He's not going to be doing it very long.

>> So, there will be an operation by the US.

>> It sounds good to me.

>> You know why? Because they kill a lot of people.

>> It sounds good to me. We should black the president of Colombia for the CIA's cocaine trade.

I mean, this is what we did in Afghanistan, guys. How do we get bogged

Afghanistan, guys. How do we get bogged down in 20 years in Afghanistan?

Afghanistan did not attack us on 911.

And it wasn't about getting Osama bin Laden.

We let Osama bin Laden go. The number

three at the Pentagon confessed that in 2005, four years after we let Osama bin Laden go in Tora Bora, we had him cornered, but we let him go because

getting him would end the predicate for being there. And we said, "Well, they're

being there. And we said, "Well, they're harboring terrorists." Well, we created

harboring terrorists." Well, we created those terrorists. We've been over this a

those terrorists. We've been over this a million times. The CIA and the US

million times. The CIA and the US military created the mujaheden in the 1970s to try to get ring of get rid of the

pro-s Soviet government, get rid of the Soviet incursion where we want to create a Russian Vietnam in Afghanistan. So we

created the mujaheden and it was a covert action and it was dirty work and it was the same BCCI network that funded Noriega

ran through BCCI administered by Bear Sterns while Jeffrey Epstein was there. Well,

Jeffrey Epstein says he made his money off of guns, drugs, and diamonds.

Another drug-like smuggling form.

And we're still in Afghanistan, by the way. I know we've pulled out, but we

way. I know we've pulled out, but we still have operations in Afghanistan.

And that you're going to and it will light back up.

But it's like so killing the terrorists that we created, if they even are vaguely responsible for 9/11, which they weren't,

going after the cocaine trade that we set up. Well, where's the internal

set up. Well, where's the internal responsibility?

I'm okay with this if you say, "Listen, the CIA and the US military set this up, but they continued it and they escalated

it. We're getting rid of it on our side

it. We're getting rid of it on our side and we need to punish the people on their side who participated." That's a compromise I'm cool with. Then I'm like,

okay, based we're going to get the internal files about US military narot trafficking in Afghanistan, about US military and CI narot

trafficking in Colombia and all the different Obama administration officials, Bush administration officials, Biden administration officials who did this.

I'm okay, for example, of saying China's at fault for co for participating

in a rogue US military gain of function operation, but to leave us completely out of it and to watch

people I know and love and respect just kind of go along with it even when they know like that ain't that ain't true though.

You can do that. Blame it on the Biden administration and the Obama administration and rogue people inside your own military and CIA who double crossed you

during Trump won.

Trump got destroyed by his own military and CIA and Trump won. From the

impeachment on down, they lied to him about the troops and and what they were doing in Syria. We

were constantly playing show games with the numbers, the general said afterwards.

Throw them under the bus.

And and if you will roll up Maduro and Colombia in that, okay, I can defend that.

I can defend that.

Now, I like the Trump administration very much. I don't think Max Blumenthal

very much. I don't think Max Blumenthal does, even though I respect Max Blumenthal as a journalist. We've got different

a journalist. We've got different political views. What do I do in a

political views. What do I do in a debate with with Max Blumenthal? This

these are the kind of things I think about in the shower.

Who should be president in 2028? And

let's say he comes out and says Gavin Newsome because the Trump administration is corrupt. And I say JD Vance or Marco

is corrupt. And I say JD Vance or Marco Rubio because they did such a great job in the last term.

He goes, "How can you defend, you know, for for all you talk about with regime change wars and covert ops

and and blob profitering?

How can you defend the kidnapping in the dead of night of the head of state of a foreign c country on such [ __ ] charges?

What do I do in that debate?

I can I can sidestep it and say there are more important things.

the number one threat was a censorship industrial complex. The look at look at

industrial complex. The look at look at the the economy soared through the roof.

And he goes, "Okay, okay. Let's let's

get back to this.

Do you support blackging people and then hitting them with trumped up [ __ ] trumped up charges? I thought that's what you

charges? I thought that's what you didn't like that they did to Trump that they hit Trump with 191 [ __ ] charges in the Southern District of New York.

I I don't know what I'd say there.

And not only that, you're like giving a huge win to these elements of the Republican swamp and you're protecting all of their DNC allies.

Again, the 2019 operation, we covered this. Nester science, who organized the

this. Nester science, who organized the first attempt to kidnap Maduro in 2019 under Trump 1. Who did Trump One use for that? Nester Science

that? Nester Science from the NDI, from the DNC branch of the CIA.

So, if you want to go after NDI, now you're hitting your friends who are helping you in Venezuela.

And the the Jeffrey Epstein stuff is is is one of these things. I I want to get to this next. I want actually do

some live research.

Highest high ranking cartel member says Fast and Furious was meant to supply guns to the Syninnolo cartel. So we

covered let me make another thing of tea and I am going to just put on at the same time. Okay so like this analysis

same time. Okay so like this analysis you can see the obvious benefits if we do this right like I'll just play this video after capturing Nicholas Maduro and transporting him to a US federal

prison to face charges. Trump announced

the US will run the country until a safe transition is possible. But what if the US never leaves? The pro reset breaks OPEC's global price monopoly, by seizing Venezuela's 300 billion barrels of oil,

the world's largest reserves. The US

crashes gas prices to a historic $1 at the pump. This logistics miracle slashes

the pump. This logistics miracle slashes shipping costs by 70%, cutting the price of groceries and goods by 30% overnight.

Inflation vanishes as the energy tax is deleted, triggering a surge in domestic manufacturing. The currency collapse is

manufacturing. The currency collapse is solved [music] by replacing the Bolivar with the US dollar, stabilizing cost while zeroing savings as a migration reverse brings 7.7 million refugees back

to rebuild $400 billion in decaying infrastructure. The Southern Command

infrastructure. The Southern Command expansion dismantles gangs and rebels, cutting crime by 90% as Venezuela becomes a de facto 51st state. This

superpower pivot evicts Russia and China, freezing $60 billion in debt and granting the US total military [music] and economic hijgemony over South America.

Okay, that's like the miracle best case scenario.

But seeing it all together like that, you understand the strategic logic, but you also understand the strategic logic

of taking over the Middle East after 9/11 on BS grounds. Like why did we [laughter]

what 15 of the 19 hijackers had Saudi passports while John Brennan CIA director John Brennan was the CI chief of station in Riyad Saudi Arabia during

that same time period. We never went after Saudi Arabia.

Funny that. Um, instead we used a BS predicate to go after everybody else that we wanted to go after anyway.

And that's what's happening here.

It's like this, you know, it I I am a realist about this. I mean, getting back to Tate's analysis and we end up spending 10 years and $25

trillion and losing loads of soldiers and getting maugged down in some [ __ ] But I do like when in 45

minutes we kidnap a [ __ ] and get 17 trillion dollars of oil. I like [ __ ] that works. I'm not against stealing

that works. I'm not against stealing [ __ ] I'm from the streets. Are we all going to [ __ ] sit around and cry and pretend this is the first time a [ __ ]

got kidnapped for money?

In fact, I would argue that's the only reason anyone gets kidnapped.

There's kidnappings going on right now in every city in the world. Some crypto

kid just got kidnapped in Paris. Some

[ __ ] dude is kidnapped in Minneapolis. Kidnapping happens. If you

Minneapolis. Kidnapping happens. If you

got [ __ ] you got to be able to protect it or someone's going to [ __ ] kidnap your ass. That's how it works. And they

your ass. That's how it works. And they

take your [ __ ] This is the [ __ ] This is the streets.

Now, if we were to say boots on the ground in Venezuela, 10-year, 25 trillion money laundering war [ __ ] I'm against that. I am totally against

us trying to run Venezuela when Trump's like, "Yeah, we're going to run the country now." Now, [ __ ] that. We're not

country now." Now, [ __ ] that. We're not

going to run nothing. Take their [ __ ] and bounce, breath. Take the oil and go.

Okay, so Lahi presents Angel Dep.

You guys are saying, "Tate, really?" And

Tate's a regardless of what you think about Andrew Tate. What he's

articulating in this video is the only possible theoretical defense I can think of that doesn't involve lying.

Go ahead. Make an argument for doing this that is not Andrew Tate's argument here without lying.

I'm gonna wait for you in the chat while I keep playing this.

That's it for Uncle Sam. Take their [ __ ] and let's [ __ ] leave.

Now, I know a lot of you are saying, "Well, actually, quite a lot of Venezuelans are glad Maduro's gone because a lot of the Venezuelans were mistreated." I want to make something

mistreated." I want to make something very [ __ ] CLEAR.

I DON'T give a [ __ ] what any Venezuelan thinks about anything.

And with the rejection of Maria Karina Machado, who we said that Maduro stole the election from, I

mean, he he's articulating here the primal id of the justification for doing this.

You know, it's I I this is not about cocaine.

Then then how do you pardon the president of Honduras? How do you prop up Daniel Naboa in Ecuador?

How do you explain the CIA creating the entire Venezuela Colombia cocaine network?

How do you how do you defend them cultivating the cocoa fields and distributing packaging transporting for 40, 50 years.

The only way to defend this is an argument like this and then all bets are off.

I I mean if there was a better predicate maybe if it was but but this is ugly. I mean

it's you're selling it off to Paul Singer.

Paul Singer's hedge fund.

I mean just you guys see how Paul Singer operates on this on a second.

This investor is so powerful entire countries are afraid of him. Paul Singer

has been nicknamed the doomsday investor. He first worked as an attorney

investor. He first worked as an attorney at a bank where he created the formula that explains his [music] $70 billion hedge fund, Elliot Management. With a

focus on buying distressed assets, Paul's genius came in the form of exploiting weakness. He never targeted

exploiting weakness. He never targeted small companies, though. Paul went after entire governments. In the9s, he bought

entire governments. In the9s, he bought 11 million worth of defaulted Peruvian debt. And [music] when the country's

debt. And [music] when the country's corrupt president tried to flee, Paul confiscated his jet and returned it only on the condition he was paid 58 million from the country's treasury. He did it again with Argentina in 2000, [music]

suing the government to pay him 2.4 billion 16 years later after buying its debt. He's also made quite a bit of

debt. He's also made quite a bit of money from the US government. Sensing an

inevitable bailout of the auto industry in 2008, he bought a stake in the bankrupt Delelfi Automotive Company, a crucial part supplier to the industry.

Not long after, the government paid 12.9 billion to buy it from him. Outside of

business, Singer owns famous Italian football club AC Milan. He seized it after its owner defaulted on a loan payment owed to him.

This investor, >> I mean, this is George Soros style of the Republican party. Just straight

vulture.

I mean, when you talk about confessions of an economic hitman and how debt trap diplomacy ties in with hedge fund profits, you know, you do these high interest

loans and then you have the CIA economically destabilize a country and have the Treasury sanction the country and then they can't afford to pay back the loan and then the hedge fund just seizes the assets.

That's the [ __ ] George Soros does on the left. It's the [ __ ] Paul Singer does on

left. It's the [ __ ] Paul Singer does on the right and he's bankrolled. He became a you know he

bankrolled. He became a you know he hated Trump in 2016 but then when Trump turned internationalist he became a big booster back you know Lindsey Graham and Rubio

and all these and it's like that's I mean the justification for seizing sit

was a lie and now we're sort of acknowledging it's a lie and yet you're still giving it to him. I

mean, Paul Singer is is how you get Lindsey Graham.

I mean, there's Trump can't run again, but Paul Singer is how you get Nikki Haley.

Paul Singer is how you you could get Bill Crystal as as a as a Republican president.

And it's hard to watch this.

Again, the only thing I could envision is an Andrew Tate like argument where you say, "Listen, if we get all the Venezuelan oil, it will make us richer. It will make our

standard of life better.

It will it will improve our lives." And

it probably would if there's a trickle down.

What if there's not trickle down? What

if it just goes to what if it just goes to Elliot Management and Paul Singer and uh you know they he just uses that

money to revive Nikki Haley's career then where are we in 2028 now on that front?

So, so what I'm getting at here is not only is there the direct thing about Venezuela, but I I wouldn't be spending so much time on this tonight if it if if

this was just Venezuela.

My issue here is these are noble lies that we are forced to be good little boys and girls and accept.

And you know, noble lies are noble in the moment. They're crisis management

moment. They're crisis management technique.

But as as the as the years drag on, the reason you need them in the first place is that goes away, you're left with this ugly residue, and

then this labyrinth of state secrets.

The US involvement in illegal drug money, drug trade, the narcotics trafficking, the reason that we're said to go to be going after Maduro

is why we were in Afghanistan. It's why

we're in part of the reason we were in it's the reason BCCI was set up. It's

the reason Jeffrey Epstein got his start in the business.

It's it's it's part and parcel with all of these disinformation groups.

the the Afghan insurrection to um in the 1960s and the the the toppling of the Russia aligned

Afghan government was done through the Asia Foundation.

These are drug proceeds in the 70s through the CIA's BCCI bank and they were directed by the Asia Foundation which was set up by the CIA

and then when they got busted for their CIA funding by Ramparts magazine they transitioned over to US aid funding.

It's the same thing on like just the slow pace of transparency with things like CO. This is from October 30th. Rand

like CO. This is from October 30th. Rand

Paul. I've sent a letter to OD and I after uncovering new records showing US intelligence was in contact with coronavirus researcher Ralph Bareric as early as 2015. The documents I released

today reveal US intelligence officials were in contact with Dr. Ralph Bareric, a collaborator of the Washington Institute of Urologies, Dr. Zang Lee, this bat lady. Remember the

Dr. Zang Lee? She the bat lady. years

before the pandemic. In September 2015, the CIA and OD and I reached out to Ralph Bareric. Really, we learned this

Ralph Bareric. Really, we learned this in October 2025.

It's called CO 19 because this happened in December 2019 or possibly October 2019.

Six years it took to learn about the CIA and director of national intelligence reaching out to Ralph Bareric

to discuss a possible project on Corona virus evolution and human adaptation.

the CIA and Ralph Bareric about a possible project to gain a function adapt a SARS like corona

virus cluster to humans.

Less than 2 months after Ralph Bareric met with the CIA to discuss this possible project to do gain of function work on corona viruses to adapt them to

humans.

Ralph Bareric and the Chinese bat lady she published a SARSike cluster of circulating bat corona viruses shows

potential for human emergence research funded through US AIDS predict program.

So the CIA talks with Ralph Bareric who's implicated in this whole CO 19 stuff. He

works with the China side of it.

It's funded by US aid and the official position of of the admin is is China.

She we're just like because when you stake out that line, you prevent independent researchers

who like the administration from looking at this side of it.

This is a great example of it. Okay.

Here's the China side.

Here's our own corrupt government.

We're being told only look at this side of it. Don't look at this side of it.

of it. Don't look at this side of it.

Even though five six of it is our own corrupt government. Look at look at

corrupt government. Look at look at this.

And in fact, if you do if you prove your case about this and run it down and do find incriminating documents about this, it kind the more you do that, the more

it hurts this argument.

So what ends up happening, the gears and the bureaucracy of the admin stop you from looking into this.

You'll find the blob will be slow in responding to your transparency requests. You find the people on the

requests. You find the people on the hill just who were excited before just don't get back to you. You'll find

there's some weird person in the general counsel's office or, you know, in the in the in an ethics board somewhere who just put the kaibos on it.

In 2018, Beric and she were again listed as collaborators on Ecoalth's diffused proposal to DARPA, which sought to insert a foreign cleavage site into a corona virus, the same feature that

appeared in CO 19.

In January 2020, Ralph Beric was summoned by the director of national intelligence, who oversees the CIA, to brief officials on shared slides

titled Origins, discussing a possible accidental lab release to the Wuhan Institute of Viology.

So, the CIA was secretly meeting in January 2020 with Ralph Bareric to discuss the origins.

He's traveling to Montana, by the way, it says.

So, I'm say I'm saying I'm I'm running into this at a lot of layers, I feel, in in the admin right now and and even on the Epstein stuff.

We've talked so much about the CIA and Jeffrey Epstein.

And with that, I want [clears throat] to get to a little bit of research because we are talking about Noriega and Panama. Now, let's see. Just switch up

Panama. Now, let's see. Just switch up the vibe a little bit. Let me see if I can just find something. Panama,

Noriega Rats.

Go back in time. CBS News [music] special report from CBS News headquarters in New York. Here is Dan Rather.

>> This is December 1989.

>> Good morning. By dawn early light in Panama, US soldiers supported by tanks and aircraft are on the attack. The main

target apparently the Panameanian defense barracks, normally Manuel Niega's headquarters. The action is not

Niega's headquarters. The action is not over. Casualties are reported heavy. We

over. Casualties are reported heavy. We

do not yet have any official count. The

fighting has closed the Panama Canal for the first time in 75 years. As for

Noriega, we simply don't know where he is, whether he's holed up, slipped the news, dead or what. We simply don't know.

>> In 50 from I am Dame VZ, Venezuela is also origin of alleged dodgy voting machines. Trump made posts uh right

machines. Trump made posts uh right after the OP.

Well, this is what I'm saying. But if

that's the case, why isn't that what the indictment's about?

I mean, you're talking about smartmatic, which you, as we discussed, is fishy as [ __ ] Venezuelan communist, sketchy elections

on its board is Lord Malik Brown, the president of the Open Society Foundation at the time. I am Dane said, and that may be why this is a negotiated

surrender. I mean, I don't

surrender. I mean, I don't Is it a negotiated surrender?

I don't know. I mean, there's a lot of intrigue. We we'll be learning more as

intrigue. We we'll be learning more as the as it drags on. Let's see uh George Bush's speech here.

>> Today, forces under conservative to protect the >> the mission, the US military attack, what the Panameanians call the invasion of their country, that is Noriega's faction of the Panameanians calls the

invasion of the country, uh continues.

It has a number of missions. First and

foremost was to find Nora and if possible, uh bring him back alive. that

is bring him back to the United States to face uh the criminal drug charge indictment that was handed down by a grand jury uh in Miami. But uh there were other goals of the mission to uh

install a democratically elected government to bring stability to the country to protect American citizens.

All of those are reasons that already been given by the White House in its official statements as to why this military action has been undertaken. We

go now live as part of our CBS NewsH special coverage and part of our CBS this morning coverage to the president of the United States addressing the nation on the action in Panama from the

Oval Office.

>> For nearly two years, the United States, the nations of Latin America and the Caribbean have worked together to resolve the crisis in Panama. The goals

of the United States have been to safeguard the lives of Americans, to defend democracy in Panama, to combat

drug trafficking, and to protect the integrity of the Panama Canal Treaty.

Many attempts have been made to resolve this crisis through diplomacy.

>> Only one of those things is real.

The Panama Canal treaty. That's it.

Everything else there was a lie.

Everything else there was an excuse to get to the last one. This is an example of the scorpion's tail.

Bunch of little things. And right at the end is what they're really doing.

And you can make an argument. Listen,

don't [ __ ] with the Panama Canal.

But technically, if they have a legal right to do it, you need to create some other [ __ ] predicate charge in order to take the

person out and induce a regime change.

Same thing there as with here. The idea

that Norgo was a a drug trafficker.

Yeah, he was a CIA drug trafficker.

That's why the CIA installed him like 5 years before that. He was on CIA payroll for 31 years

while he was dealing the drugs. But the

CIA liked that because he was propping up the anti-communists, but because he was a nationalist

ended up [ __ ] with our business.

And in fact, Bush knew that because Bush was the head of the CIA in 1975, 1976.

When Noriega was receiving money, Bush spearheaded the BCCI bank operation that funneled the the CIA money to Noriega.

The drug proceeds of Noriega and negotiations, all were rejected by the dictator of Panama, General Emanuel Noriega, an

indicted drug trafficker.

Last Friday, Noriega declared his military dictatorship to be in a state of war with the United States and publicly threatened the lives of

Americans in Panama.

The very next day, forces under his command, shot and killed an un an unarmed American serviceman, wounded another, arrested and brutally beat a

third American serviceman, and then brutally interrogated uh his wife, threatening her with sexual abuse. That

was enough.

General Noriega's reckless threats and attacks upon Americans in Panama created an imminent danger to the 35,000 American citizens in Panama. As

president, I have no higher obligation than to safeguard the lives of American citizens. And that is why I directed our

citizens. And that is why I directed our armed forces to protect the lives of American citizens in Panama and to bring General Noriega to justice in the United States.

I contacted the bipartisan leadership of Congress last night and informed them of this decision and after taking this action I also talked with leaders in

Latin America, the Caribbean and uh those of other US allies at this.

>> So we ended up doing that. We ended up blackging Noriega and doing the regime change in Panama. And

let me now turn a little bit to the Jeffrey Epstein side of this.

So again, as we mentioned, Epstein literally said, I think it was Vicky Ward or Rolling Stone reported Epstein told multiple people he was making a fortune out of drugs.

Glain Maxwell said his business was working with drug cartels like the Sinaloa cartel. And with that in mind, I

Sinaloa cartel. And with that in mind, I want to get to another one of these Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah. All right. So, I

Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah. All right. So, I

want to get to Capcom and BCCI here. All

right. So, as we talked about previously in our Jeffrey Epstein cinematic universe,

so we went over this where Jeffrey Epstein gets to Bear Sterns in 1976,

recruited by the then senior executive Ace Greenberg, who becomes CEO in 1978.

Uh, Ace Greenberg sets Jeffrey Epstein up with his daughter. So, he's dating the boss's daughter.

1976, Beer's Foreign Exchange desk opens up an account for BCCI Luxembourg.

BCCI again was set up by the CIA in conjunction with Pakistani intelligence starting in 1972, but then scaled up ahead of the 1979,

ahead of the late '7s Mujaheden secret support. And this was all very I should

support. And this was all very I should note this is all very hush hush at the time about this CIA support for the

mujaheden that was not declassified until much later. Here is for example Charlie Wilson. Here's one of the big

Charlie Wilson. Here's one of the big cheerleaders for the mujaheden in Congress.

Texas oil guy.

>> Has the United States provided any aid to the Afghanistan people?

Well, that is a uh military secret.

>> Have we provided any aid to the mujaheden, the Islamic terrorist groups fighting

the Russians in 1980.

And the congressman says that's a military secret. But in

the background [clears throat] it was Jeffrey Epstein, Ace Greenberg, and Bear Sterns who were indeed facilitating that aid.
