Legendary CIA officer Gary Berntsen explains why the terrorists clinging to power are on borrowed time. In this episode of ‘Going Rogue with Lara Logan’, the conversation delves into the arrest of Nicolas Maduro and the implications for Venezuela and the United States.
Logan speaks with Berntsen about the complexities of election fraud in Venezuela, the role of Smartmatic in global elections, and the influence of the cartel in both Venezuela and the United States. The discussion also touches on espionage, the internal threats to U.S. security, and the future of Venezuela under the current political climate.
The American capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was a precise operation, carried out like clockwork.
But there was one notable exception. Among the military targets bombed or strafed was one significant civic structure — the mausoleum containing the remains of former Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, who orchestrated Venezuela fall into socialism in 1998. Sean Penn must be crying in his beer.
Here’s a look back at Chavez’s backward rule, which led one-quarter of Venezuela’s population to flee the country, mostly to the United States, but also to Spain and other points across Latin America. Patrick Ben-David explains in a Valuetainment short.
Who will take over as the next president of Venezuela? One possibility is Maria Corina Machado, the opposition leader in Venezuela, who recently was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. Trump, though, indicated he prefers a candidate that could generate more support. It’s not clear who that might be.
Thee air strikes on Caracas began after midnight — around 1:15 a.m. Saturday. Maduro had been captured by 4:20 am. and was arriving, via plane, to New York City by 7:25 a.m.
Under Maduro, Venezuela supplied more than 70 percent of its oil exports to Communist China. The Latin American nation also supplied heavy amounts of oil to radical Islamic groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah, across the Middle East. With the socialists losing their tight control over Venezuela, those supplies can be controlled and/or diverted. So this could dampen danger around the globe. Here’s more from Lori Colley.
Washington keeps ramping up military action against Venezuela, mostly taking action to blow up fishing boats while claiming the boats are being used for drug running. Is there any truth at all in the U.S. government’s claims? Or Is Pete Hegseth just fishing around for an excuse to provoke a war?
Does Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles (Cartel of the Sun) even exist? What about the CIA’s drug running? Are we attacking out own boats? How do we now what’s what and where?
Here, Lt. Col. Daniel Davis, the host of the Daniel Davis Deep Dive, tries to make some sense out of the U.S. Department of Defense and State Department doing their saber rattling. Davis appears on Redacted News with Natali and Clayton Morris.
How did Communist China almost succeed in taking down the United States. as well as the rest of the Western world, without firing a single shot? Sunday, we presented Juan O’Savin’s outline of China’s dastardly scheme to manipulate elections and commit fraud across some 72 nations, going back for more than a decade.
The first true summary of the global scheme was made earlier, some two weeks ago, by Patrick Byrne, during an an appearance on The Roseanne Barr Show. Byrne is the former CEO of Overstock, who was forced to resign — in disgrace — after he admitted having an affair with a young Russian spy by the name of Marina Butina.
Byrne says the Chinese “almost collapsed the West” and they did it using widespread election fraud. They not only rigged national elections, but even state, school board and local elections. With direct guidance from Chinese spies, software engineers in Serbia inserted “a ghost machine” into the election machines used to tally votes. They could not alter elections by 20 or 25 percent. But they could shave or alter vote totals by 5, 10, even 15 per cent if necessary.
“They’ve studied the West down to every nook and cranny, and they are bending the arc of the West, so that it crashed into a brick wall,” Byrne says. “This is not a theory anymore. People who need to understand this understand it all now.” China had many allies in this endeavor. The Mexican cartels were involved, but the Venezuelan cartel and its leadership in the Cartel of the Sun was atop them. Also taking part: Cuba, Serbia and Iran. Then there were complicit Western officials, including, in this country: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama and Susan Rice.
