How Jeffrey Epstein rose from maths nerd, to a financial fixer from elites, to the boss of blackmail:

‘If you look at Epstein’s operation, what it looks like to me is that it’s a criminal operation on a number of different levels. Epstein is an interesting case because where does he come from? Well, he doesn’t come from a wealthy family. He doesn’t come from an influential family.

He was a Long Island kid who was good at mathematics…he was a kind of smart, nerdy kid who made friends by doing their math homework. You’re not popular because you’re a jock. You’re not popular necessarily because you’re that good-looking or you dance well. You’re popular because you can do other people’s math homework and get them to pass.

His whole career is ingratiating himself to wealthy, powerful people. What did he do as a financial advisor? Look at it. Just stand back and look at what he did. And what he did was that he helped them dodge taxes.

He also helped them hide money. He could help people discover money that had been hidden abroad. He could help them hide money. If you do one, you can do the other. And that’s how he moved as a kind of fixer and arranger into the realm of the rich and powerful.

And in that process, either he or other people who were working with him found out that these people can be compromised in a number of ways. And so then you start installing cameras in your residences, in the bedrooms and the bathrooms. There’s only one reason you do that. It’s fairly simple.

The only reason why you collect all of this video information on your rich and powerful friends is to potentially use it as leverage against them. You don’t have to actually use it. You simply have to make them aware that you have it and could use it.’

On this day in 1949, Burkinabe Marxist revolutionary Thomas Sankara was born. Thomas Sankara’s short 4 years in power in Burkina Faso🇧🇫 before being overthrown in a French & CIA-backed coup:

-Vaccinated 2.5 million children against meningitis, yellow fever and measles in a matter of weeks.

– He initiated a nation-wide literacy campaign, increasing the literacy rate from 13% in 1983 to 73% in 1987.

– He planted over 10 million trees to prevent desertification

– He built roads and a railway to tie the nation together, without foreign aid

– He appointed women to high governmental positions, encouraged them to work, recruited them into the military, and granted pregnancy leave during education.

– He outlawed female genital mutilation, forced marriages and polygamy in support of Women’s rights

– He redistributed land from the feudal landlords and gave it directly to the peasants. Wheat production rose in three years from 1700 kg per hectare to 3800 kg per hectare, making the country food self-sufficient.

Prof. John Mearsheimer Reviews 2025: Trump’s Foreign Policy Failures, Ukraine Proxy War, Gaza

🚨Prof. John Mearsheimer on Donald Trump’s 2025 foreign policy: ‘ONE FAILURE AFTER ANOTHER’

‘Just to start with the Houthis. Remember, he said he was going to finish the Houthis off and that Joe Biden had been a pussycat and he couldn’t deal with the Houthis, but Trump would be able to do that. After one month, Trump quit and admitted the Houthis were too tough a nut to crack for him.

With regard to Iran🇮🇷, the fact that they’re talking about attacking Iran again tells you that they were not successful in June when they attacked. With regard to Gaza, he has failed to shut down that conflict and come up with a plausible solution to it. And in fact, he’s guilty of genocide.

With regard to Ukraine🇺🇦, he said that he was going to shut that one down before he entered the White House, or if he didn’t do it that quickly, he’d do it after he got into the White House. He’s failed there as well.

And finally, he’s in a giant mess with regard to Venezuela🇻🇪. I think he’s basically backed himself into a corner.

He’s had military forces in the Caribbean, significant military forces, for a number of weeks now, but he’s not employed those forces because it’s hard to see how he can use those forces to achieve the end that he wants, which is regime change and peace in Venezuela.

So if you look across the board, it’s been one failure after another.’

🚨Why has Donald Trump’s foreign policy so far been one failure after another?

David Pyne on Going Underground: Trump must FIRE Israel First, America🇺🇸 Last neocons

‘President Trump made the mistake of appointing a lot of really bad people, neoconservatives, Israel First, America Last individuals, to serve in his cabinet.

He’s just getting a lot of bad advice and he’s marginalised all the good people.

You know, Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence, Vice President J.D. Vance, even Pete Hegseth, when you listen to him, he sounds pretty anti-Iran. But behind the scenes, he’s reportedly been arguing against the strikes.

So the key for Trump to have a reset is to fire all the Israel First, essentially Mossad agents in all but name, from his cabinet. And then hire folks like Tulsi Gabbard and J.D. Vance to replace them.

Then we can put America First again and work collaboratively with all of the countries that are supporting peace, Russia🇷🇺 and even Iran🇮🇷, to restore peace and stability in Europe and the Middle East.’

David Pyne, Deputy Director of the US Task Force on National and Homeland Security, on Going Underground

The US🇺🇸 has begun 2026 by launching a regime change war against Venezuela🇻🇪.

Marco Rubio and the neocons have completely taken over the Trump Administration, with Donald Trump now being just a vehicle for fulfilling neocon fantasises.

This regime change war is about stealing Venezuela’s oil, the largest known oil reserves on Earth, in a brazen act of daylight robbery.

NATO nations are silent, international law and the ‘rules-based order’ the US lectures the world about, is once again proven to be nothing but a farce. Rules for the rest but not for the West.

(Reported footage of US bombing campaign against Venezuela)

Venezuela🇻🇪 has declared a state of emergency after the US🇺🇸 begun its regime change war. President Nicolas Maduro has activated defence plans which authorise the use of weapons by civilian organisations.

8 million people signed up to join the Bolivarian Militia, and now the US could face a Latin American Vietnam.

The US🇺🇸 has reportedly even bombed the mausoleum of Hugo Chavez, the former leader of Venezuela’s🇻🇪 Bolivarian Revolution.

This is the most heinous representation of the US’ hatred for the achievements of the Bolivarian Revolution.

Not even the dead are safe from the US’ colonial barbarism.

The imperial arsenal of the US🇺🇸 has been turned against Venezuela🇻🇪.

Venezuelans are being terrorised and are now in the middle of an ongoing robbery, where hell is being unleashed from the skies with the goal of stealing Venezuela’s oil reserves.

🚨TRUMP BOMBS VENEZUELA🇻🇪, US🇺🇸 KIDNAPS MADURO

After promising ‘no more wars’ during the campaign, Donald Trump has started the neocon regime change operation against Venezuela and has once again submitted to the demands of the neocon permanent state. 

We warned with Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Latin America and the Caribbean would be turned into a war zone, and now that frightening horror is a reality. 

This is not a war on narco-trafficking, that is a claim even more ludicrous than the Bush Administration’s WMD justification for the Iraq War. Venezuela plays no role in fentanyl production or trafficking. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Venezuela is not a cocaine-producing country. 

An annual report from the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) published in March did not mention Venezuela in the four pages dedicated to cocaine trafficking, citing instead Ecuador, Central America and Mexico.

This is not a regime change war to bring about ‘democracy’ either. The United States has supported a long list of fascist dictators in Latin America including:

Augusto Pinochet🇨🇱
Jorge Rafael Videla🇦🇷
Humberto Castillo Branco🇧🇷
Juan Maria Bordaberry🇺🇾
Hugo Banzer🇧🇴
Manuel Odria🇵🇪
The Somoza Dynasty🇳🇮
Carlos Castillo Armas🇬🇹
José Napoleón Duarte🇸🇻
Roberto Suazo Córdova🇭🇳
Rafael Trujillo🇩🇴
Fulgencio Batista🇨🇺
Manuel Noriega🇵🇦

Democracy is of no importance to the United States. What matters is the domination of Latin America to extract its natural resources for the profit of US corporations. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves on Earth, and the rapacious vultures of American capitalism have been salivating at the prospect of stealing the nation's natural resource wealth.

Veteran CIA Asset Maria Corina Machado, who has plotted against her country since her involvement in the 2002 CIA-backed coup against Hugo Chavez, has been groomed to be the Pinochet of Venezuela, openly declaring that if she becomes the illegitimate President, 'we are going to privatise all of our industries', in a shameless begging effort for the US to go to war against her own people. 

Every single regime change war has been an unmitigated disaster, Donald Trump has betrayed his MAGA base once again for an imperialist regime change operation cheered on by widely despised neocons such as Rubio and Ratcliffe. 

For Russia🇷🇺, China🇨🇳, and the rest of Latin America, this is Code Red. If they allow Venezuela to fall and for its resources to be stolen, they are next. The US clearly has no care for international law or norms when they have executed the plan for the daylight robbery of Venezuela. 

Unless the US is punished for this brazen foreign policy of war and destruction against any country that refuses to submit, the BRICS countries will be next. 

This is also a punishment to remove one of the voices of anti-imperialism. Maduro is hated by the US for consistently condemning the horrors of US imperialism. The decade-long campaign to destroy the Bolivarian Revolution is now culminating. The sanctions crippled Venezuela's economy and condemned millions of Venezuelans to poverty, and now Washington is moving in for the kill. 

Any government that sought economic justice and sovereignty in Latin America was destroyed either overtly or covertly. Venezuela is now part of that long list of examples.

US🇺🇸 WANTS TO DESTROY MADURO TO GAIN CHEAP ACCESS TO VENEZUELA’S🇻🇪 OIL RESERVES

‘In terms of the sanctions, Trump put sanctions on Venezuela back in 2017. That’s when they started. And they’ve just been ratcheted up since then.

Now we have data from economists showing that in the first year of the sanctions, as you pointed out, they killed 40,000 people. This is very devastating, totally destabilising on the economy, causing massive hunger, humanitarian crisis.

It’s forced millions of people to leave the country because life is becoming so difficult there. The purpose of these sanctions is not some kind of exercise of soft power. It is very clearly aimed at destabilising the country, destabilising the government, making the economy scream.

And now the US is openly talking about wanting to invade Venezuela. And to justify this, they’ve built up this incredible propaganda narrative that came out of nowhere, claiming that the President of Venezuela is a narco-terrorist who runs a drug smuggling gang.

But these claims have been very thoroughly debunked by scholars, including within the United States itself. Even key institutes in the US government reject these claims.

We know that Venezuela is not a cocaine-producing nation. Only about 5% of the drugs trafficked to the US are even routed through Venezuela, the vast majority go up by the Pacific.

So this is really a non-entity when it comes to the so-called US war on drugs. It’s clear that this narrative is a ruse, designed as a PR narrative.

The reality is that the US wants to destroy the Venezuelan government primarily because they want cheap access to its extraordinary oil reserves, the largest in the world, larger than Saudi Arabia’s, and because they see Venezuela as a sovereign-seeking nation.

And that is something they are always against. They always immediately try to target and sanction nations motivated by that tendency.’

-Prof. Jason Hickel on Going Underground as Trump kidnaps President Maduro

US🇺🇸 MUST BE PUNISHED FOR OVERTHROWING MADURO

‘The United States must be punished or at least should face consequences if it goes ahead with a regime change operation in Venezuela🇻🇪…

The US economy is fragile. China🇨🇳 and the non-US aligned powers must use a mechanism similar to what China did recently with its control over rare earth minerals and metals.’

-Former Pentagon and State Department Official @MatthewPHoh on Going Underground

🚨MADURO KIDNAPPED: VENEZUELA🇻🇪 REGIME CHANGE WILL BE A CATASTROPHE

‘The history that we’re confronted with in terms of why a regime change operation in Venezuela will be a catastrophe is certainly there…but the Trump Administration feels history doesn’t apply to them.

They know the US has screwed up regime change operations throughout its history, but they believe they won’t screw up regime change like the other administrations. This is the real danger of megalomaniacs in power like we have right now.’

-Former Pentagon and State Department Official Matthew Hoh on Going Underground

Venezuela’s🇻🇪 President Nicolas Maduro, kidnapped by the US🇺🇸:

‘The imperialists try to reduce everything to one man. They attack me because I represent something bigger.

I’m just a kid from Caracas, born in 1962, raised among working-class assemblies and Metro worker, yet I’ve become a threat to the US empire.

But it’s not about me. It’s about a proud, Bolivarian, Chavista people who will never surrender and will defeat any imperialist threat against our homeland.’

Donald Trump: ‘The United States will run Venezuela🇻🇪.’

Any notion that the US respects international law or the sovereignty of nations just went up in smoke.

The US is a rogue state with an insatiable appetite for imperial violence.

Donald Trump published a photo of the kidnapped President of Venezuela🇻🇪 Nicolas Maduro

The US abides by none of the rules in its ‘rules-based order’ and it abides by none of the international law it has signed agreements to respect.

There is no louder blaring siren that Russia🇷🇺, China🇨🇳, and the powers of the global south should abandon the hypocrisy-based order completely and create an alliance of defence and unity.

All of the economic progress of BRICS will mean nothing if the US uses its imperial arsenal to pick off each country one by one.

Donald Trump announces the new Monroe Doctrine; the revamped version of rapacious US imperialism in Latin America.

He also states that enforcing US dominance in the Western hemisphere is a core US foreign policy priority.

The dominance means dominating everyone else. Accepting only vassalage and satrapy states. The US has calculated that it can’t save its position as the hegemon with the rise of Russia, China, and BRICS…

Instead, it will turn all of the guns of its imperial arsenal, the strongest the world has ever known, towards Latin America.

If Latin America is to escape the fate of being a satellite continent which is robbed of its resources by US corporations and be plunged into deeper inequality and poverty, unity against imperialism is the only salvation.

If Latin American leaders can stand by and watch American missiles strike the capital of a sovereign state on their continent, and US troops kidnap the President because he refused to follow Washington’s orders, then they must realise that any one of them could be next.

If the Latin American states which haven’t fallen to Washington’s proxies continue to not recognise this as an existential crisis that requires urgent unity and collective defence, then Latin America will fall completely to a new Operation Condor, and Latin America will be subjugated under, oppressive boot of Washington, which is more dangerous and desperate than ever.

🚨🇻🇪In a stunning bombshell, Nobel Farce Prize Winner Maria Corina Machado has already been unceremoniously dumped by the Trump Administration:

‘She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country’

Maria Corina Machado practically licked Washington’s boots, betraying her own people calling for them to be bombed, just for a taste of power in the Miraflores Palace.

She advertised and begged US corporations to loot Venezuela’s resources, to steal from her own people…

And for all of that pathetic, traitorous, and shameless performance, she gets dumped by the Trump Administration on Day 1 of regime change.

Now Maria Corina Machado can go and cry on the shoulder of Juan Guaido, the other forgotten, failed CIA asset of yesteryear.
