About this episode

The episode discusses the recent U.S. invasion of Venezuela and the implications of perception management in the narrative surrounding it.

Earlier this month, the United States invaded Venezuela, capturing President Maduro. The justification was to combat drug trafficking (narco-terrorism), and end authoritarian rule while gaining control of Venezuela's vast oil reserves, with President Trump stating the U.S. would "run" the country to rebuild its oil industry. Furthermore, eyewitness accounts alleged that U.S. forces used directed energy weapons, evidenced by "melted" vehicles and people "cooked" from the inside-out. This is similar to other US military incursions like Panama and Somalia. Trump later confirmed the use of a "secret sonic weapon." What we are seeing isn't just about geopolitics, but rather, perception management. We are hearing two different stories because it's what people are being led to believe through carefully contrived propaganda.
