CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou: The US🇺🇸 is SERIOUS about going to war with Venezuela🇻🇪, why is Trump pursuing a war of CHOICE?!

‘I’ve said many times that if you want to know what American military intentions are, watch naval movements. This is something that I learned at the CIA.

We can yell and scream and point the finger and tell countries we’re going to invade them, but we’re not unless we send enough naval assets to cover what’s needed in terms of supply and aircraft carriers.

An aircraft carrier battle group, for example, has 11 support ships, battleships, troop transports, supply ships, and of course the aircraft carrier itself is full of fighter jets.

So if the United States is serious about doing something, it’s going to send an aircraft carrier battle group. And indeed, what did it do?

It sent the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier battle group to the coast of Venezuela. So which Donald Trump are we going to see? Are we going to see the America First, non-intervention Donald Trump, or the neocon Donald Trump?

And the truth of the matter is we’re not at war with Venezuela. Venezuela hasn’t done anything to us. They haven’t attacked us.

These drugs that we’re supposedly destroying or intercepting or whatever aren’t even meant for the United States. They’re meant for Western Europe, and they’re not Venezuelan drugs.

Venezuela is the transshipment point for drugs coming from Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador. So I just don’t see why this President, especially, is considering a war of choice.’

Alastair Crooke: US🇺🇸 regime change in Venezuela🇻🇪 is about dominating ALL of Western hemisphere from Argentina to the Arctic…and the US’ growing FINANCIAL CRISIS

‘Venezuela is a huge country. It’s bigger than Ukraine. It’s a large, very large country. And it has connections. You know, I for a period lived in Colombia and you know, it’s quite likely that there are militia waiting to join in on the borders. What are they going to do? Decapitate the government? Bombing it or invading it or kidnapping it? I don’t know.

But when the FT says they’re unprepared, this is just psy-ops to say this is an easy war, we will take all that oil and gas and natural resources, and it’ll be folded into the United States.

I mean what I think this is about is that the Trump team has made it very clear and sent sort of very clear messages to those receiving, saying from the southernmost tip of Argentina to the Arctic, this is all going to be folded into the new US Western hemisphere sphere of interest.

So all of this is part of that, but it’s also part of the US financial crisis. They’ve got a shadow banking system which is now 50% of the credit, which is 50% of total credit given from America, dwarfing almost the conventional deregulated banking system.

This is unregulated, is over-leveraged and as the economist from the BIS just said the other day, this is half of the credit given out and we haven’t a clue what’s going on there.

In the regulated system we’ve got an idea of what’s going on in the banks, but in the shadow banking system which is now half of the total, we don’t have an idea what’s going on there.’

CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou on Venezuela🇻🇪 regime change: The CIA doesn’t understand the people DON’T WANT US THERE

‘It’s because of this belief at the CIA, it’s a very deeply held belief that we are the good guys and as soon as we cross that border, people are going to throw flowers at us.

And of course that’s laughably, laughably wrong.

There’s no understanding of history, there’s no understanding of the societies and the cultures of these countries. They don’t want us there. And at the CIA, they just don’t understand.

Now, in their defence, the CIA is not a policy agency, it’s a policy support agency. So just like with the invasion of Iraq, if the White House says do it, you have to do it, even if you’re opposed to it on philosophical grounds.

But you’re right, the CIA, the American government in general, just never seems to learn the lesson of invasions gone bad.

It’s easy to invade a country, it’s easy to overthrow its government. It’s exceedingly difficult to take care of things the day after.

And one thing about Venezuela too, as I just said, it would be easy to overthrow the government. We’ve already essentially told Maduro, just get on your plane and run away. Go to Doha, go to Havana, go to Moscow. Just get on the plane and run away…

The point being to put so much pressure on Maduro that he just gets up and runs away.

So to overthrow him, what do you need to do? You need to secure the presidential palace, you need to take over the radio and television stations, you need to control the major intersections in Caracas, but most importantly, you need to have the military on your side.

And the Venezuelan military is on the side of President Maduro.’

🚨CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou: We may NEVER see the unredacted Epstein Files

We had a hint of what the truth was when Elon Musk said, as he was leaving government, that Donald Trump was all over his words, all over the Epstein files.

And I think Trump probably didn’t think that he would be, or didn’t realise that he was, when he was making the promise to release all of the unredacted files.

I have to tell you, I’m not sanguine that we’ll ever see these files, because this is not a partisan issue. There are Democratic perverts just like there are Republican perverts.

And there are a lot of them in positions of very important power. And so I think that they are going to work together to kill this information, to disappear the information.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is right. Donald Trump said that he would release it. He should release it.

This is what the MAGA base wanted. But I think Trump believes that the MAGA base is more pro-Trump than they are pro-MAGA, and that he could wait this out and win it in the end.

I don’t think we’ll ever see this unredacted information.

Here’s Chile’s🇨🇱 President-elect José Antonio Kast downplaying the crimes of the fascist Pinochet dictatorship and defending it for ‘economic progress.’

The economic progress he speaks of is skyrocketing the poverty rate to 45-50% of the population as a result of neoliberal shock therapy

Tripling the extreme poverty rate

Creating one of the most unequal countries on Earth

Col. Jacques Baud, retired Swiss Army Colonel and former Advisor to NATO has been sanctioned by the European Union for being ‘a regular guest on pro-Russian television and radio programmes. He acts as a spokesperson for pro-Russian propaganda and disseminates conspiracy theories’

In books written by Col. Jacques Baud on the Ukraine proxy war, he explicitly only used Ukrainian and Western material to evidence his analysis of the proxy war, to show how warped the mainstream media’s representation of the conflict has been. Here is one such example where he talked to us on Going Underground:

'In 2019 a report written by the RAND Corporation outlined a strategy...the purpose of that strategy was not to help Ukraine, it was to weaponise Ukraine to weaken Russia...in the report, it was explicitly written that implementing this strategy would cause to Ukraine huge loss of territories, huge losses in personnel and will force Ukraine into a disadvantageous peace.'

Col. Jacques Baud was sanctioned by the European Union for voicing his analysis of the Ukraine proxy war, citing his works which explicitly used Western and Ukrainian sources and not Russian sources, to show how warped the coverage of the war is in NATO nations.

This is ‘free speech’ and ‘democracy’ in the European Union, where any dissent against a march to senseless confrontation and war with Russia is effectively criminalised. This is the same European Union lecturing the global south on ‘democracy’ and ‘free speech’.

Donald Trump’s trade war against China🇨🇳 backfires spectacularly:

China's overall goods trade surplus surged +21% year on year, to a record $1.1 trillion in the first 11 months of 2025…a rapid expansion of exports.

The US🇺🇸 unleashed economic warfare on China, and China proved its economy is too big to contain, and that the US’ economic warfare arsenal is useless to stop China’s rise.

ICYMI: CIA Asset, Nobel Farce Prize Winner, and de facto spokeswoman for US corporations Maria Corina Machado fully endorses Donald Trump’s strategy of economic warfare and looming war against her own country…

Which has so far killed countless innocent fishermen in extrajudicial killings, and brutal sanctions that have directly killed 40,000+, if not now hundreds of thousands

And now she supports a looming full-scale attack which will no doubt cause thousands of Venezuelans to die.

A fitting return for Julian Assange to file a criminal complaint against the absolutely pathetic Nobel Foundation leadership, for their awarding of a peace prize to an agent of a bloodthirsty and rapacious empire.

Tucker Carlson: Donald Trump could announce the war on Venezuela🇻🇪 as early as tonight.

If the US🇺🇸 is allowed to get away with looting Venezuela, the country with the largest oil reserves on Earth…

It will see it as a green light for more destructive looting, targeting each country one by one, in an attempt to save its declining hegemony.

We’re on the cusp of a more hellish version of the Monroe Doctrine and Operation Condor, just with slicker PR.

It will be draped in right-wing populism, but will have the same toxic neoliberal disaster underneath, the same neoliberal disaster that left close to half of the population of Latin America in poverty from the late 1980s to the end of the 1990s.

Donald Trump on why he’s threatening a regime change war on Venezuela🇻🇪:

‘They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back.’

It’s not about ‘democracy’, it’s about revenge against the Bolivarian Revolution reclaiming economic sovereignty and using the oil wealth to lift Venezuelans out of poverty since the Chavez years.

The economic war launched by Trump in 2017 was designed to punish the Venezuelan people, and now this coming war is an imperial war of daylight robbery and looting, as declared by the President of the United States himself.

The US has no ‘values’, it stands for nothing but war profiteering and imperial plundering of the global south.

Max Blumenthal on the Bondi Beach Massacre: How antisemitism BENEFITS Zionism

‘I’ve been saying the past two years, just by checking the pulse and feeling the vibe of Zionist reactions to the world after October 7th, that fanatical Zionists have actually been sub-, I don’t even know if it’s subconscious, have been kind of yearning for a mass casualty event where they could finally point the finger at all of the enemies of Israel and shut down all of their critics.

And here they have it, and they have proven my point.

Rather than point the finger at the actual perpetrators of this crime, who appear to be a father and son team of Salafists who have allied with ISIS, who actually were known as ISIS sympathisers to Australian state security for over six years and were nevertheless granted multiple firearms licences which allowed them to carry out this attack, they’re blaming Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese who recognised a Palestinian state.

They’re blaming Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York. They’re blaming the Palestine Solidarity movement, all the Australian citizens who marched in this historic march against the Israeli genocide, the Bridges march.

They’re blaming Iran of course, and Israeli intelligence is investigating Iran. Netanyahu is directly blaming Albanese.

And it completely proves my point that Zionists have been almost lusting for this kind of attack because antisemitism is the fuel of Zionism, which ultimately allows the Zionist movement to justify Israel as a sanctuary for the world’s Jews.

If the world were a safe place for Jews where we were living in normalcy, then they wouldn’t be able to do that. So this environment has to be cultivated.’

Israeli Zionism needs global antisemitism to fuel it, because if there was no antisemitism, Jews would not be attracted to Zionism.

So much so, that Israel’s Mossad staged false flag antisemitic terror attacks in Iraq in the 1950s to create a panic among Iraqi Jews so that they would leave and move to Israel…

Previously, despite the Iraqi Parliament passing a law allowing Jews to leave the country if they wished, a mass Iraqi Jewish migration wave to Israel did not happen. So Israel’s Mossad created the conditions necessary for that mass migration wave to occur.

🚨Max Blumenthal on the Bondi Beach Massacre: Which country was behind the previous antisemitic attacks in Australia🇦🇺?

‘There had been suspicious incidents of antisemitic vandalism all across Australia as mainstream media at one point about a year ago last January was documenting, and the documentation fell off the radar.

Actually, Anthony Albanese, the Prime Minister, referred to paid actors, in his words, who were being paid by a foreign entity through cryptocurrency to attack Jewish targets in Australia.

The Shadow Home Secretary of the Opposition made the same declaration. So what were these targets?

One target was the Adass Israel Synagogue in I believe Melbourne, which is home to a kind of anti-Zionist sect. So not exactly the choice target for someone who really hates Israel.

No injuries, no one was wounded and ultimately the criminal, the criminals responsible for this were apolitical people, many of them mentally disturbed.

There were other, another series of incidents where apolitical, semi-homeless people were arrested and all of them said they were being paid to do this.

And Iran was blamed after the Israeli Mossad provided Australia’s ASIO, its intelligence agency, with a so-called tip. So let’s put the pieces together.

A foreign entity is paying a criminal class in Australia with no political ideology to attack Jewish targets. Who would benefit from that? It certainly wouldn’t be Iran.

And why would Iran attack an anti-Zionist synagogue? It doesn’t make sense.

Yet Australia was pressured to eject the Iranian ambassador, which was the culmination of a long-standing Israeli campaign to fracture relations between Australia and Iran. And so that campaign continues through the Bondi massacre.’
