Operation ‘Absolute Resolve’ – the kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro

There have been celebrations in many cities, mainly across the West regarding the capture kidnapping of Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela. Hi, ho, the merry-o, the brutal dictator is gone.

But there is quite a bit more to the story than the theatre that has been presented to the Western public.

Election Day 2025

November 4, 2025 was a big day in American politics. There were several elections, several ballot measures on the docket, and tensions running high across the country.
