What’s The U.S. Follow Up Action After Taking Maduro Out?
Last night the U.S. bombed several places in Venezuela. The bomb attacks were likely planned to hit air-defense systems. But several targets were purely administrative government places and one was a mausoleum with Hugo Chavez’s body.
With the air defenses defeated U.S. special forces landed by helicopter near a place that housed President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. Both are said to have been abducted and flown out of the country. Maduro was known to often change the place were he was living. The NY Times claims (archived) that a CIA source was involved:
A C.I.A. source within the Venezuelan government monitored the location of Nicolás Maduro in both the days and moments before his capture by American special operation forces, according to people briefed on the operation.
The American spy agency, the people said, produced the intelligence that led to the capture of Mr. Maduro, monitoring his position and movements with a fleet of stealth drones that provided near constant monitoring over Venezuela, in addition to the information provided by its Venezuelan sources.
The human source claim sounds plausible. (The stealth drone fleet doesn’t.)
But where were the body guards that should have been looking after Maduro 24/7? Why was none of the U.S. helicopters shot down? This was either a huge failure or treason. Who gave the order to the military to hold its fire?
Maduro will brought to the states and incarcerated. He is out of the picture for now.
But Chavistas still rule in Venezuela. Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez is acting as president and Defense Minister Diosdado Cabello is also in place. The government issued a fierce statement:
The objective of this attack is none other than to seize Venezuela’s strategic resources, particularly its oil and minerals, in an attempt to forcibly break the nation’s political independence. They will not succeed. After more than 200 years of independence, the people and their legitimate government remain steadfast in defending their sovereignty and their inalienable right to decide their own destiny. The attempt to impose a colonial war to destroy the republican form of government and force a “regime change,” in alliance with the fascist oligarchy, will fail like all previous attempts.
It called on its people to defend the country.
One wonders what the next steps are the U.S. is planning to take. It does not have enough forces to invade Venezuela. Nor would a blockade of the country lead to a change of its government. An internal revolution is unlikely to succeed.
The U.S. gnomes managed to steal the underwear. Now comes step 2. Then profits. That sounds like a good plan.
But nobody seems to know so far what step 2 might entail.
Conclusion: 59% of Adult Americans cast a vote in the recent Presidential election. <b>The winner therefore has support of ~30% of the adult population. </b>don‘t blame the people, blame the system.

First up, anyone who voted for Harris or Trump chose to support the fucked up status quo, ie. kleptocrat traitorous psychos with a penchant for murdering children. Combined 98% of those who voted. Thats close to 60% of the adult population. Your 30% is semantics. There is sweet fuck all difference between Dems and Reps.
Secondly, as I said, the 40% who chose not to vote, made by their inaction clear they don’t give two shits whether kleptocrat traitorous psychos with a penchant for murdering children are running the show. Not sure what is worse, those who actively vote for those bastards or those who by their inaction give implied permission to those psychos to do some more murdering of children.
But hey, sure, blame the system, some faceless apparatus, which strangely enough is tolerated by all but leaves everyone impotent and paralysed. Classic way of washing one’s hands of the shit fest their choices or inaction is causing.
Pretty much everything you can do to resist the 1% is now a criminal act in Australia, what are your suggestions?Indeed what are you currently doing to assist getting rid of the yoke besides attacking poor shitheads that are totally under the hammer? Looking forward to your tips.

More defeatist blather. Really, every form of resistance is a criminal act? Like boycotting products, going on strikes, handing out flyers, helping out with political campaigns to bring awareness and turf out Duttons and hopefully soon Hansons, Albaneses and Wongs, rallies and sit-ins, financially supporting media outlets with a conscience like say Michael West Media, all unlawful now in Oz? Amazing the things one learns at MoA.
I agree with you to an extend though, state & federal govs are tightening the noose wherever they can, and it truly is a shame the Australian government is now pushing through the pro-zionist IHRA definition of antisemitism at “all levels of government and public institutions”. But again, who lets them get away with that? A zombified population who for the most part doesn’t care and will re-elect them regardless. Thats who.
So, is it indeed a criminal act to resist the 1%, or isn’t it more a case of Aussies being largely a bunch of egoistic or mindless Barney Gumble or Ned Flanders types, unable or unwilling to look beyond their plate, voting 80+% zioshill parties ie. National, Liberal or Labor? Err, sorry, I take that back, let me rephrase: poor shitheads that are totally under the hammer?
Now, how about you, what else are you doing to bring about change in Australia, apart from scolding commenters for criticizing people who vote for genocide supporting parties coz they are too time poor or disinterested in children being killed and maimed by the thousands?
