Description

In this segment, Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone discuss the U.S. indictment against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and argue that the charges are a politically motivated fabrication built on vague allegations, retroactive terrorism designations, and testimony from coerced witnesses seeking reduced sentences. Max says the charges, which range from narco-terrorism to 1934-era firearms violations, lack jurisdictional legitimacy under international law and are designed to justify U.S. regime-change policy rather than prosecute real crimes. Central to the case is former Venezuelan intelligence chief Hugo “El Pollo” Carvajal, portrayed as a compromised informant willing to say anything to avoid decades in prison, including claims aligning with Trump-era political narratives. The two conclude that the trial is a test of whether the U.S. can override head-of-state immunity and international law to legitimize coercive foreign policy against Venezuela, and quite possibly other sovereign nations.

The US government is the largest criminal cartel in the world. They have zero right to call anyone else a criminal.

The US government doesn't even pretend to follow the US Constitution or insist on having evidence before they bring someone up on criminal charges. If the judge presiding over this case doesn't throw out the charges it will show that all three branches of government are completely corrupt.
