Other Speaker cites UN experts condemning prior measures and how drug-fighting rhetoric slid toward regime change.
2026-01-04 | UPDATES #088 | Let’s carve up the world. It’s January 3rd, 2026, and the new year has arrived with the subtlety of guided bomb. In this episode we ask – Caracas today, possibly Taiwan, The Baltics and Greenland tomorrow? The new world disorder didn’t wait for Christmas trees and lights to be taken down – it’s impatient to assert its power and influence and rewire the world. Overnight, explosions hit Caracas. Power outages. Panic. And then the headlines that we had half expected, but which still feel surreal: The U.S. has invaded Venezuela full-scale, and President Trump claims President Nicolás Maduro — and his wife, Cilia Flores — were captured and flown out of the country. It’s being during touted as a “large scale strike” but seems to be so much more than that.
