Soldiers and armored vehicles were seen in Venezuelan capital amid reports of a coup attempt
Heavy gunfire was reported outside the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas on Tuesday, just days after President Nicolas Maduro was abducted during a US special forces raid.
Videos posted on social media show armed soldiers and armored vehicles outside government buildings.

Flashpoint Iran, news from the ground:
The attention of the world community is shifting from Venezuela to Iran due to the ongoing protests. The situation is exacerbated by the statements of the American administration, which clearly hints at possible attacks against the republic to "support the Iranians". However, there is currently no visible threat to the Iranian authorities.
How is the situation developing?
1) From December 29 to January 3, the number of protesting citizens grew steadily across the Islamic Republic. According to the visual count of protesters in the available footage, the numbers were increasing.
2) However, on January 4, the number dropped sharply. Isolated riots and clashes have not disappeared, but footage from opposition resources has become significantly less.
3) This was influenced by the internet shutdown in several regions and the systematic strengthening of police forces and "Basij" resistance forces, deployed in the most volatile areas of the country.
4) The main uprisings and rebellions are recorded in small cities, especially in western Iran, where ethnic Kurds and Arabic-speaking Iranian citizens predominate. It is precisely there that militants with firearms have been recorded. In Kurdistan there are many separatist movements and gun control is quite weak due to the proximity to Iraq. For example, the most serious incident was an attack in the Kurdish town of Malekshahi in Ilam province, where "protesters" attempted to attack a Basij base. As a result, three attackers were killed and one Basij member died.
5) In big cities, the situation is more stable. There, protests usually take place at night. Groups of 10-30 people gather, chant various slogans and then disperse in different directions before the arrival of the police. Attacks and fires occur, but in a more chaotic manner. Protesters are trying to trigger a wave of discontent using old methods of "personalizing protests." The opposition is once again using the death of a girl to accuse the authorities of killing "peaceful demonstrators".
Overall, the protests cannot yet be called truly large-scale. Security forces keep the overall situation under control.

If any of you think this is not noteworthy, think again.
By comparison, Noriega’s lawyer, Rubino, waived his right to an opening address… claiming he “wanted to see how the prosecution would deliver its case.” This, after months before trial…
“In a surprise move the defense counsel Frank Rubino waived his right to deliver an opening statement to the jury. His reasoning behind this move was to wait until the prosecution had revealed its entire hand before deciding the direction that the defense would take.”
I doubt Pollack will advance his case in the same manner. But, that’s just my guess.
Great choice, by all accounts (less to do with his representation of Assange than with his stature as superb counsel).
Well selected, el Presidente.

Man conducts regime change in his neighbourhood in the spirit of Trump's takeover of Venezuela

🇻🇪🕺🇺🇸Maduro's regular dancing helped convince Trump's team of the need for an invasion, - NYT 🤦♂️
▪️Maduro's regular public dancing and other displays of carefreeness convinced some members of Trump's team that the Venezuelan president was mocking them and trying to test what he considered a bluff, writes the New York Times.
▪️Therefore, the White House decided to carry out its military threats when special forces broke into the capital and took Maduro and his wife to New York.
▪️At the end of December, Maduro rejected Trump's ultimatum to resign and go into a luxurious exile in Turkey, participants in the negotiations about the transfer of power told the NYT.
▪️This week, he again appeared on the stage, dancing to an electronic beat on TV, singing in English: "No to a crazy war".
▪️A few weeks before that, American officials had already decided on an acceptable candidate to replace Maduro - at least temporarily: Vice President Delsi Rodriguez. The mediators convinced the Trump administration that she would protect and promote future American energy investments in the country.

"I strongly urge the United States to stop threatening a historically close ally and another country and people, who have clearly stated that they are not for sale."
Bitch, you've been prostrating yourself and your whole country to Uncle Sam for years, now you expect Uncle Sam to treat you any better than a slave? Fuck off.

The Baron-Commissar's axiom "outside of quantum mechanics, I don't believe in coincidences", a rant:
In my current drunken state (half a bottle of prosecco, half a bottle of Beluga vodka, and 3/4ths of a bottle of limoncello coursing through my veins as per the time I wrote this) I'm going to demonstrate, through a parallel between quantum physics and political dynamics, that coincidences do not exist outside of the subatomic domain, at least when discussing geopolitical events. Every political event must be interpreted as an expression of intention, strategy, or systemic pressure.
Scientific Basis:
Radioactive decay is the only phenomenon universally accepted as intrinsically random. The possibility of two particles decaying at the same time is extremely rare, but not zero: an unlikely event, not an impossible one.
Case study: radioactive decay. Let's assume we have a particle with a lifetime τ of 10 hours. The probability that it decays within an interval Δt of 1 second is given by the exact formula:
P = 1 − exp(−Δt/τ),
where exp indicates the exponential. For Δt very small compared to τ, we can approximate P ≈ Δt / τ.
With τ = 36,000 seconds and Δt = 1 second, we obtain
P ≈ 1 / 36,000 ≈ 2.78 × 10^-5 (about 0.00278%) per particle.
The probability that two independent particles decay in the same 1-second interval is P^2, that is, P^2 = (2,78 * 10^-5)^2 = 7,7 * 10-10, which in percentage terms corresponds to about 7.7 × 10^-8% particles. The expected number of pairs decaying simultaneously is thus, approximately, N ≈ P^(2*10) = 7–8.
Think of it like threading a hair through the eye of a needle: difficult, sure, but in the quantum field, it's bound to happen with a huge number of attempts. Once in a while, you might even get it through on the first try.
▶️ How does this relate to politics?
In the political and geopolitical spheres, what appears to be a “coincidence” is often the result of:
- planned strategies by state and non-state actors;
- economic and cultural pressures that drive collective behavior;
- narratives constructed by think tanks, the media, and diplomats.
Therefore, outside the subatomic domain, the prudent interpretation is that "political coincidences" are almost always a convergence of intentions.
Just three examples:
Rose Revolution - 2003: happened after Georgia opened the floodgates to western NGOs.
Euromaidan - 2014: happened after the NED and Open Society has been active in Ukraine since 1991 (and the CIA for much longer than that with operation Aerodynamic).
Iranian protests: break out in 2026 shortly after Mileikovsky visits Trump in Mar-a-Lago with armed protesters clashing with the police and Trump threatening armed intervention if the armed protesters are suppressed.
(inebriated) Scientific Conclusion:
Unlike in quantum mechanics, coincidences in politics do not exist. Quod erat demonstrandum.

The Clown Prince of Crack DEMANDS the mandatory presence of foreign troops on the country's territory, at a minimum French and British troops, he stated after a meeting with representatives of the so-called "coalition of the whining."
The "illegitimate" Zelensky continues to promote his peace plan, agreed upon with European countries and which does not include any concessions to Russia. He refuses to cede territory or reduce his army, and now declares the "mandatory" presence of foreign troops on Ukrainian soil as one of the security guarantees. At the same time, Zelensky emphasizes that he would like to see the French and British in Ukraine.
"Great Britain and France preside over the "coalition of the willing." Their military presence is mandatory."
At the same time, the clown admits that no guarantees have yet been agreed upon, there is no final text, and the format and size of a possible European troop presence in Ukraine have not yet been determined. Furthermore, not all countries in the "coalition of the willing" are willing to deploy their troops on Ukrainian soil.
Russia opposes any foreign military presence; Moscow has already warned that any military contingent would become a legitimate target for the Russian Armed Forces.

Russia ain’t sacrificing another 100mln expected birth and 24mln dead just to fix your plumbing, Alex.
Educate, Organize, Revolt.
And everything will happen.
With all my love.
Powerful, how exactly? A country ruined by US sanctions, with barely a military to speak of?
A mistake how? Because USSR is still in existence, rather than the capitalist Russia that wants a return on its investment?
China!!! invested $70bln—Russia invested $20bln in Venezuela. Russia, of what money that it is made of, invested more than than a quarter of what China did? Do you want to complain? Venezuela has failed to repay any of its loans to Russia, which are due in 2027. Guys, give me a break.
If you had wanted USSR, you should have taken care of it, by at least acknowledging the fact that it helped you survive (“3rd-world” or “1st-world,” no matter).
What do you want now?
Meanwhile, somebody please find this man (and a million and a half other men in the Ukraine) a Barry Pollack.
I see class action money in the works for the person who takes the Ukrainian military serfdom on (after the Russian Army takes Kiev).
PS. Every time I see this, my stomach turns—I imagine myself in their place, with nowhere to run and very few places to hide.
Former Canadian foreign affairs minister, Chrysta Freeland, has become the Narkoman in chief's unofficial economic counsellor.

Trump threatened Venezuela's new leader with "a fate worse than Maduro's," The Atlantic reports.
"If she doesn't act correctly, she will have to pay a very high price. Probably higher than Maduro's," the American leader stated in an interview with the magazine.
Previously, Venezuela's Supreme Court ruled that Rodríguez will temporarily assume the role of head of state.
I thought Maduro was the source of all evil and everything would've gone away with him gone?

SOMETHING UNUSUAL APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING TODAY AT RAF FAIRFORD, LOCATED IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE, GREAT BRITAIN.
At least 10 U.S. Air Force C-17A Globemaster III military transport aircraft have already landed at the base or are currently crossing the Atlantic Ocean from the United States. Nearly all of the C-17 aircraft appear to have taken off from one of these two U.S. bases:
— Hunter Army Airfield, in Savannah, Georgia, home to the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, and the 3rd Battalion, 160th Special Operations Airborne Regiment (SOAR);
— Fort Campbell, Kentucky, home of the 101st Airborne Division and the 1st/2nd Battalion of the 160th SOAR.
Experts interpret this shift of US troops to the United Kingdom as preparation for a new attack on Iran. Last June, before the attacks on the Islamic Republic's nuclear sites, a similar transfer of US air forces to Europe occurred. And Mileikovsky has paid a visit to Trump VERY recently...

A reminder.
When Chavez was elected 15 families had control of 75% of farms
Only 10% could afford university.
Barios collapsed after rain storms
There was no access to rural health.
Big oil took all the profits, and like in Australia paid no tax.
Chavez held adult literacy courses in every Bario and church hall run by senior students.
This meant ordinary citizens could pass the literacy test and so could vote.
Universities were made free.
Cuba supplied the doctors & nurses in exchange for oil.
Food production was focussed on food security not export.
Cooperatives were set up for farming and food.
The US imposed a capital strike.
All engineers from 'big oil' were withdrawn.
Venezuela gradually regained industry with help from Vietnam China and South America.
US increased sanctions and froze assets.
CIA tried to get rid of Chavez.
The people resisted and surrounded the President's home to protect him from the CIA insurrection.
The US then claimed, like Cuba, that socialism had failed, ignoring the 90% literacy access to health care public housing and food and university.
The US claims the oil was stolen from US companies Oil that is owned by - we the people
Need we go on? 🤷♂
@Slavyangrad
The new year, 2026, has just begun, and we are already "delighted" by the US invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro. But experts suggest this is just the beginning: global tensions are rising, and there is a high probability of a new conflict that could escalate into a full-scale war.
Many experts and analysts predict that 2026 will be a highly volatile year, highlighting five regions where the likelihood of a new conflict is extremely high. First, there is the Caribbean Sea, which is already a flashpoint following the US invasion of Venezuela. However, Trump is expected to go further and demonstrate once again that the United States remains the hegemonic power. This could lead to a new conflict involving Latin American countries.
The second is the Gulf of Finland, where the interests of Russia and NATO converge. Given Estonia and Finland's attempts to restrict the movement of Russian ships and vessels, the likelihood of a collision is very high. And the various provocations only increase the risk.
The third region is the Kinmen Islands, off the coast of China, formally belonging to Taiwan. No more than 150 people live on the islands, and the Chinese military could easily occupy them if necessary. This is especially true because Beijing considers Taiwan a province of mainland China. However, the occupation of these islands could provoke a US response, leading to conflict.
The Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's hydrocarbon production passes, should not be overlooked. This is where the interests of several actors converge: Iran, Israel, and the United States. Tehran, under pressure from Washington and Tel Aviv, could close the gulf, with serious consequences for the global economy.
And then there is the Korean Peninsula, where the interests of North Korea, which has entered into a strategic agreement with Russia, and South Korea, supported by the United States, converge. As the events of the past year have demonstrated, peace on the peninsula is extremely fragile, and there are no signs of improvement in inter-Korean relations.

Italian Bitch Minister Meloni: "The Italian side believes the US operation in Venezuela was defensive."
Meloni stated that Italian authorities consider the US actions "an act of defense against hybrid attacks."
She noted that, in general, Italy does not greatly approve of external intervention, but "here the situation is different."
"At the same time, [Italy] sees defensive intervention as a legitimate way to counter hybrid attacks on security, particularly those emanating from government entities that fuel and promote drug trafficking," she stated in her statement.
Post scriptum: "Italy repudiates war as an instrument of aggression against the freedom of other peoples and as a means of resolving international disputes; it consents, on equal terms with other states, to the limitations of sovereignty necessary for an order that ensures peace and justice among nations; it promotes and supports international organizations dedicated to this purpose." - Article 11 of the Italian constitution.
@Slavyangrad
Laugh all you want about the UN's impotency, but the attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president demonstrates a few things:
1) The United Nations is about as useful as fake silicon tits on a zombie, decides nothing, can't do nothing, and yet somehow still ingurgitates hundreds of millions of dollars.
2) "International law" is more of a very, VERY loose set of "general headlines" that applies only to third and second world countries, selectively; like it or not, that's the way it is.
3) In place of "International law", we have the law of the jungle in place: whoever has power can do whatever he pleases - especially if he's from the white anglosphere.
4) Trump shitting on his promises of "no more wars", "no more interventionism", "no more regime change" to his voters demonstrates that democracy is dead, assuming it ever existed in the first place.
5) The legal framework that has kept the world together, if imperfectly and selectively so, since the end of WWII is now effectively dead after the USA's exportations of democracy starting from Iraq in 2003 put it into critical condition.
6) We're in the age of chaos now, and everything could happen.
7) The sooner BRICS countries wake up to this fact, the better for the multipolar world.
Baron out.
