Is the U.S. Planning to Assassinate Maduro?
US Escalates Caribbean Attacks While Considering Assassination of Venezuelan President
Understand how recent US military actions in the Caribbean mirror historical intelligence abuses, signaling a dangerous return to 'gunboat diplomacy.' Discover the specific military buildup threatening Venezuela and why this echoes 50-year-old scandals.
Short Summary
- The Trump Administration is reportedly exploring options to assassinate Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, citing special forces deployment.
- The US has killed approximately 70 individuals across 18 recent boat strikes in the Pacific and Caribbean without offering evidence of wrongdoing.
- This policy shift reflects a stark rollback from the ethical standards established after the 1970s Church Committee investigations into CIA abuses.
Peter Kornbluh analyzes the unprecedented discussion of foreign leader assassination alongside a massive Caribbean military buildup. He frames this action against the historical lessons poorly learned since the Church Committee exposed intelligence scandals 50 years ago.

no money for snap or healthcare....but plenty of funds for this???? insane and immoral.
It’s not a drug war it’s all about a coup to take Venezuelan oil and resources but they are creating the illusion of drugs thus the false flag operation.
The goal is to seize Venezuela's OIL. They are trying to construct a false flag like the Gulf of Tonkin. Impeach. Convict. Remove.
Well, they did that to President Salvador Allende from Chile in 1973.
we need to get this admin out of power
This is terrorism on these people
This is a sign that the US is in very serious trouble economically. tnese are all acts of desperation
the US has been trying to take control of Venezuela for my entire adult life (almost 30 years) I am not surprised by any of this.
That’s so wrong to interfere in other countries affairs and assignation of foreigners leaders. It’s totally unacceptable and criminal behavior
Excellent analysis. Thank you so much
