Data Republican’s response is 🔥:
Hello Senator Slotkin,
I've been waiting for your take on Venezuela. When it comes to regime change, few institutions have a longer and more educational record of failure than the CIA, so your opposition is as reassuring as Jim Cramer's stock picks.
Congratulations on reciting the roll call of countries your own institutions helped ruin. Treating that history as a rhetorical shield doesn't grant you credibility, it just advertises a refusal to learn from it. Now let me explain why Venezuela does not belong in your grab bag of "long-term engagements."
Most of the countries you list were a result of a worldview that any non-democracy is a threat to the stability of the post-Cold War world order.
🔹 Iraq: My book documents how your side eagerly supported the operations, until Iraq turned into a quagmire, and then instead of taking responsibility, the global liberal order threw America under the bus and blamed a lack of "multilateralism."
🔹 Somalia: The United Nations 1993 resolution lists the goal of the Somalian intervention as "recreating a Somali State based on democratic governance and rehabilitating the country's economy and infrastructure."
🔹 Syria: Obama himself celebrated Syria's "peaceful transition to democracy" in the Arab Spring and we all know how that turned out.
Beyond that, the common thread is: you imposed pro-Western views on a non-Western world. You haven't learned from that, because you are still doing that in virtually every country in the world - except over the decades, your meaning of "Western" has morphed to something like "Communism."
The "long-term engagement" framing is a dodge. You've never been afraid of long-term engagements. See: all your chest-beating about Ukraine.
The real question is far darker: if you believe in democracy, why aren't you celebrating the removal of a dictator from the single easiest country on earth to transition back to it?
Venezuela is not Somalia. It has borders, institutions, a literate population, a unified national identity, and a recent democratic memory. Trump just demonstrated how little force was required to remove a narco-state that survived only on inertia.
You are one of these people who idolize democracy, chant "threat to democracy" like it is a holy hymn, who buy into Open Society ideals. And yet, when an actual dictator is removed, your response is anger.
Why?
Because at some point, Venezuelan people became expendable in service of a larger abstraction you call "stability" of the liberal democratic order.
Maduro's Venezuela was useful. It was predictable. It gave BRICS a foothold in the hemisphere, kept drug flows legible and quantifiable, and weakened an increasingly inconvenient United States. It made the region easier to model, easier to manage, easier to explain in policy memos. In short, Maduro made the whole world more legible to you.
A free Venezuela introduces uncertainty. It restores agency to people who were supposed to remain variables.
So now we get lectures about "international law," tantrums from NGOs, and sudden concern for norms that were never extended to the people living under a narco-dictatorship.
We understand the objection. It just isn't the one you say out loud.

The INDOPACOM statement refers to North Korea's launch of multiple ballistic missiles into the sea off its east coast on January 4, 2026. Reports from sources like CNN, Reuters, and South Korea's military confirm it's the first test of the year, with no immediate threat to the US or allies.

Jeffrey Epstein and Venezuela?
Both sides of the Epstein argument are very odd to me because no one is talking about the central connecting dot for Jeffrey Epstein which is radical Marxism through the Robinhood Foundation and Lynn Rothschild's Council for Inclusive Capitalism. The Robinhood foundation with Epstein goes deep because all the way back, likely when he was working at Bear Stearns, he dates Eva Andersson who is now married to the founder of the Robinhood Foundation. Jeffrey Epstein literally also dated their daughter and operated through his hedge fund Highbridge Capital which is partnered with JP Morgan where Epstein was an ambassador for.
The more I looked into the Venezuela connection the weirder it got. So Maduro got bailed out by Goldman Sachs president Lloyd Blankfein who is friends with Ghislaine Maxwell and Hillary Clinton. Also there pictured when he spoke at the World Economic Forum with Henry Kissinger. Lloyd got his start at the law firm Proskauer Rose who represented Larry Silverstein in his insurance he took out a month before 9/11 which, unlike any insurance contract before it, included insurance for terrorist attacks.
Per usual with the people deeply connected to Epstein, Lloyd hates Trump. Blankfein serves on the board of directors of the Partnership for New York City, and on the board of overseers of the Weill Cornell Medical College. Sam Weill was the Mentor of Jaime Dimon and CEO of the CIA bank Citigroup. Partnership for New York City was founded by none other than David Rockefeller, and their president Kathryn Wylde is part of New York mayor Mamdani's transition team. You can't make this 💩 up!
The current CEO of Goldman Sachs David Solomon is doubling down on supporting Kathryn Reummler after it was found in the most recent Epstein files drop that she was the person Epstein was emailing the most! WTF?!
Partnership for New York City council member Brad Hoylman-Sigal, now a New York state senator, has literally the most red flags on his Wikipedia possible. He is a Rhodes scholar like all the other pedos, and he was an associate for Paul Wiess which is the law firm that represented Leon Black in the Epstein case and several other similarly related people. Paul Wiess is also the law firm that ex-Virtu Financial CEO Doug Cifu worked at while he was represented Fredric Fekkai who in court documents was accused of sex trafficking underage girls. Doug Cifu also represented Karl Kani who got his start in the clothing business selling custom cloths to Jamaican drug lords, and gave P. Diddy his start when he hired him as a model.
You're probably thinking this can't get any crazier, but what is the route cocaine was trafficked after the the Iran-contra shut down the drug operations in Panama in 1991...right when P. Diddy started with Karl Kani?
The coca was grown in Columbia, and then shipped to Venezuela, and then Jamaica, and from there either flown in on celebrity planes or shipped across the Mexico border. That is literally what the case against Maduro says.
The last part is the best, because it is how the cocaine was paid for, which is nakedshort selling! That is why Kathryn Reummler was key, because she is on the board of governors at FINRA that should prevent that sort of criminal activity. What stocks were they nakedshorting? $GME, $DJT, #MMTLP, #BBBYQ etc.
It is all connected, and justice is coming swiftly!
Maduro said "venga" and he is getting the full vengazo!

Kathryn Ruemmler, Jeffrey Epstein’s “Glam Squad,” and Doug Cifu?
The 2 hair stylists that both recently suddenly died were both part of the Wall Group, which is part of Endeavor which owns IMG Models which “allegedly” has connections to Rachel Chandler’s modeling agency, which connects everyone from Jeffrey Epstein to P. Diddy?
Is that weird? Or is it weird that Bill Clinton(pictured with under-aged Rachel Chandler) flew with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein to Singapore to meet with their sovereign wealth fund…that Rachel Chandler’s boyfriend Tom Guiness works at? Is it weird that Doug Cifu’s “good friend and client” Frederick Fekkai has a group executive coaches deeply connected to the modeling world, and one of them mysteriously dies at 39 years old just as the Epstein files start rolling out? Did him and his Wall Group colleague know too much?
Epstein’s role in the broader criminal empire is so complicated and far reaching it is hard to even know where to start when explaining it, some things like the connection between NVIXM sex cult founder Nancy Salzman and Rachel Chandler who called her “mother” on Instagram is hard to verify, but when you know the major role Jeffrey Epstein played with in sexual blackmail and Wall Street manipulation, it is pretty easy to see how it all went together. Not everything has a picture or a publicly available court proving it, but when you start putting all the pieces of the puzzle together that are available, it’s quite obvious. This is why I knew Kathryn Ruemmler was important to the Epstein situation even before the most recent email drop.
Looking at who Jeffrey Epstein emailed the most, it is quite clear Goldman Sachs, FINRA board and Obama White House Council Kathryn Ruemmler was key. This is because Goldman Sachs does the vast majority of “stock lending” and FINRA is supposed to monitor for Wall Street crimes. Add those thing together with the Executive power of Obama while in the White House and you can legislate a public company out of business and make billions shorting it all the way down. This is clearly market manipulation to the highest degree and because of the scale and the collusion involved, a RICO crime. It even involved all the same mobsters that have been running the Opium trade for the last 300 years, the Rothschilds, Guggenheims and the Sassoons.
Kathryn Ruemmler was coordinated for Goldman Sachs and all the other big financial institutions part of the PriceWaterhouseCooper cartel which companies to bankrupt. The key part of this was suspending the supply/demand mechanics of that stock by selling shares without ever delivering them, which is done with the market maker exemption which gives a market maker like Doug Cifu at Virtu Financial 35 days to not settle a trade, but just find, or attempt to find a “borrow locate.” This can-kicking can happen indefinitely, especially when ETFs contain the share you are counterfeiting, because there are even less rules regarding ETF and settlement. This is why the Retail ETF XRT has had 200% reported short interest for over 5 years now. It just so happens that Bed Bath and Beyond #BBBYQ and GameStop $GME were both part of that ETF.
Though the formula is essentially the same, 1) infiltrate the board of a company, 2) promote it to retail shareholders, 3) gut the company via share buybacks and selling valuable assets, 4) counterfeit the shares, and 5) use executive or regulatory power if necessary, there are some steps are more of a focus for some stocks than others, for example the role of interfering via executive and regulatory power was very central to the #MMTLP situation. Shockingly Kathryn Ruemmler was on the FINRA board of governors when the extraordinary stock halt happened to the tens of thousands of MMTLP shareholders.

I think PwC was also involved in the coordination against MMTLP because PwC audits all the oil companies and extorts them for ESG and DEI money, and it seems likely that MMTLP was just focused on their fiduciary duty rather than DEI, and for that reason under the Biden regime, they were targeted.
So what was Jeffrey Epstein’s role in all this? He was using blackmail to make sure everyone was on the same page with the heist. It started with him getting Bill Clinton to repeal the Glass-Steagall act which prevented consolidation of banks. One reason they went to Singapore was because the GIC (sovereign wealth fund) has substantial control over UBS bank which has been one of the ringleaders in the Global Drug and Sex trafficking since World War 2. Is it a coincidence that the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell got his start at UBS? Is it a coincidence that the $3 billion Federal Reserve renovation contracts went to companies owned by the Sovereign Wealth fund of Singapore?
If the FBI doesn’t hold all the people involved in this criminal empire accountable it won’t be because it is too difficult to figure out who is involved and how. I’m just a random guy who was curious why a minority owner of the Florida Panthers and CEO of the market making company Virtu Financial was harassing me while watching his team in the Stanley Cup. I figured he had something to hide and then when I started to uncover his “alleged” connections to Jeffrey Epstein and P. Diddy and he used Virtu Financial's Paul Weiss lawyer, on shareholder’s dime, to send me a cease and desist, I knew I had stumbled into something.
There are a lot of people out there paid to spin the Epstein story in different directions and there is a reason they aren’t talking about what Epstein did on Wall Street with Glenn Dubin and Steven Cohen, or how that affects not just retail shareholders but anyone who has a 401k or just doesn’t want their companies taken over by ESG and DEI, should help get some visibility on this. To take this on the FBI has to go against the whole global financial system and the whole black market. Help them help you by helping everyone be aware of how these criminals are stealing not just our retirements but our country!

As we watch Maduro head into NYC on the way to prison (incredible images), let this sink in:
The “warm collectivism” promised during Mamdani’s inaugural speech (which killed 100 million people in the 20th century) is about to be prosecuted in federal court in the city he oversees.
The juxtaposition is quite something.
