    US & Israel support protests to destabilize Iran: Trump calls for regime change
    Jan 16 2026

  • This is why Trump's crazy Venezuela plan will fail - and blow back on the US

    This is why Trump's crazy Venezuela plan will fail - and blow back on the US
    Jan 12 2026
    Donald Trump claims he will "run" Venezuela, after he bombed it and abducted President Nicolás Maduro. However, his plan makes no sense -- and will likely blow back on the USA. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez is still independent, and not cutting off China. US sanctions devastated Venezuela's oil infrastructure, and its heavy crude is expensive to produce -- and US companies do not see it as profitable enough, amid a global supply glut. Ben Norton explains.

  • USA admits it lied about Venezuela drug trafficking - while CIA supported cartels

    USA admits it lied about Venezuela drug trafficking - while CIA supported cartels
    Jan 8 2026
    To justify bombing Venezuela and abducting President Nicolás Maduro, Donald Trump falsely accused him of leading the so-called "Cartel de los Soles". But the US Department of Justice was forced to admit that this "Suns Cartel" doesn't exist. The USA lied -- while the CIA actually has trafficked drugs in Latin America. Ben Norton reports.
