BREAKING: Trump Regime Attacks Venezuela, Kidnap's Maduro Family, Killing Hundreds
Oil. Distraction. Death. Empire. Repeat.
January 3rd, 2025
The most dangerous thing “Peace Time President” Donald Trump does isn’t lying.
It’s taking words everyone half-recognizes—drugs, terror, security—and weaponizing them until international law collapses under the weight of bullshit repetition.
That’s exactly what’s happening right now with Venezuela.
In the middle of the night, Trump blasted out a Truth Social post claiming the United States had “captured” Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife during a “law enforcement operation” (akin to Russia’s “Special Military Operation”). Not arrested. Not extradited. Captured.
 |
That word isn’t an accident. It’s a tell.
Because “capture” isn’t a legal term. It’s a military one. And when you apply it to the sitting president of a sovereign nation, you’re not announcing justice—you’re soft-launching empire.
Before we go any further, let’s establish something Trump and his regime desperately want blurred:
There is zero verified evidence—from the Pentagon, the State Department, the Venezuelan government, or any major international outlet—that Maduro has been seized, kidnapped, or removed from Venezuelan territory.
None.
So why is Trump saying it anyway?
Because the story doesn’t need to be true. It just needs to feel familiar.
The Old Script, Reheated
Trump didn’t invent this playbook. He just stripped off the polite language.
In 2020, Trump’s Department of Justice indicted Maduro on charges of narcotics trafficking and something ominously vague called “narcoterrorism.” The accusation was that Maduro led or facilitated the Cartel de los Soles, allegedly flooding the United States with drugs while conspiring with leftist rebels and hostile states.
It sounded terrifying. It also sounded a lot like Iraq’s “weapons of mass destruction” and a complete f***** lie.
Here’s what actually matters:
Those charges were never tested in court and are complete bullshit and cover. A Lie. No trial. No evidence was presented before an impartial body. No findings of fact. Just indictments issued by a politically motivated DOJ that also brought us the Muslim ban, family separation, and a near-coup.
Trump didn’t want a conviction.
He wanted a pretext. Maduro is a dictator. Like Trump. 100. Maduro is a “Socialist Dictator. Trump is a Fascist dictator. Each ideology's extremist leaders are in two different countries. And Trump was kind enough to gift that Venezuelan oil to ANOTHER Socialist country this morning.
China.

Let’s Kill the Biggest Lie First: Venezuela Is Not Flooding the U.S. With Drugs
This is where the entire narrative falls apart—if you bother to look.
More than 90 percent of fentanyl entering the United States comes through Mexico, sourced from Chinese chemical precursors, trafficked by Mexican cartels.
Venezuela does not produce fentanyl.
Venezuela is not a major fentanyl transit hub.
Venezuela is, at most, a minor cocaine transit route.
If this were actually about stopping overdoses, Trump would be confronting China’s chemical exporters, cracking down on U.S. demand, or—God forbid—doing something boring and effective like public health policy.
Instead, he’s screaming about Caracas.
Why?
Because drugs aren’t the point. Controlling Venezuela’s Oil/Natural resources, using that oil and natural resources as bribes and leverage for China and Russia, who fully blessed this attack, is the ENTIRE point.
“Narcoterrorism”: The Magic Word That Makes Law Disappear
“Narcoterrorism” isn’t a precise legal concept. It’s a political weapon. Once you attach it to someone, you unlock a whole arsenal of emergency powers:
Military force disguised as “law enforcement”
Sanctions without international consensus
Asset seizures
Extraterritorial operations
The bypassing of Congress entirely
Trump and Marco Rubio have used this framing everywhere—from Venezuela to Mexico to China—and yes, increasingly, against Canada.
 |
Drugs become the universal excuse.
Sovereignty becomes optional.
Evidence becomes irrelevant.
And Then There’s the Machine Gun Claim—Which Is Pure Fantasy
One of the more unhinged talking points floating around right now is that Maduro “owned machine guns to use against the United States.”
 |
Read that again.
A head of state allegedly stockpiling personal firearms to attack a nuclear superpower.
There has never—never—been publicly produced evidence to support this claim. No weapons. No intercepted orders. No credible intelligence assessments released.
It’s not an allegation meant to be proven.
It’s meant to sound scary enough that you stop asking questions.
So What Is This About? Oil. Always Oil.
Trump has never been subtle about Venezuela.
He’s described the country as “wasted land.”
He’s openly talked about its oil as something the “right people” should control.
He’s framed regime change as a business correction, not a humanitarian concern.
Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves on Earth.
That’s not ideology. That’s inventory.
And when Trump needs:
A distraction from an Epstein-related scandal
A strongman flex for his base
A narrative that rallies donors and defense contractors
Suddenly, Venezuela becomes a “drug threat.”
Funny how that works.
“Maduro’s Second-in-Command Is Running the Country” — Also Not True
Another convenient myth floating around is that Venezuela has quietly transitioned power to a deputy while Trump “won.”
There has been:
No constitutional transfer of authority
No confirmed collapse of command
No declaration from Venezuelan institutions
The state remains intact. The military chain remains intact. And Venezuela’s military chain reports to Venezuela’s Minister of Defence, and that’s the guy in charge of Venezuela right now.
Which tells you something important:
This isn’t regime change.
It’s theater.
Who Benefits From the Lie?
Trump gets:
Distraction
Strongman optics
A base primed for escalation
Big Oil/rump Donors/Trump Crime Family gets:
Long-term positioning
Sanctions leverage
Future asset claims
Hardliners get:
A revived Cold War enemy
Permission to escalate
A public trained not to care
The American people get:
Another slow march toward permanent emergency rule
Zoom Out. This Is Bigger Than Venezuela.
Once the U.S. normalizes the idea that it can “capture” foreign leaders under the banner of drugs, every country becomes conditional.
Every trade dispute can become a security threat.
Every resource-rich nation becomes a target.
Every ally becomes suspect.
That’s not stability.
That’s imperial decay.
Final Word
 |
This isn’t about Maduro.
It isn’t about cocaine.
It isn’t about justice.
It’s about power laundering itself through fear—again.
It’s about presenting a visual to his base, that he’s protecting them and policing the free world, getting rid of socialists, and drug lords (He pardoned), Honduran drug lord/former President last week
The most dangerous part isn’t whether Trump actually invaded Venezuela.
It’s that millions of people are being trained to believe it would be justified if he did.
And once you accept that lie, the rest comes easy.
