THE EYE IN THE SKY
The Tech Colony Complex: Silicon Valley a Proxy State Orchestrating Regime Change In Iran
21st Century Wire
In Tehran, the streets are tense, the internet is down in many places. In a bid to try and stem a foreign-backed destabilisation operation, Iranian government has imposed a nationwide blackout, cutting citizens off from information, communication, and the outside world. Yet while state authorities scramble to maintain control, Silicon Valley quietly undermines sovereignty. Smuggled Starlink terminals from SpaceX beam uncensored internet into homes and streets, letting protesters livestream events, coordinate actions, and access unblocked platforms, a lifeline aligned with U.S. and Israel strategic objectives. This is not philanthropy. It is corporate-enabled geopolitical intervention.

Bewildered in Venezuela | El Pais |
Those who were hoping for change have suddenly found themselves living in a caricature: Donald Trump is now the one leading the Bolivarian revolution

The U.S.-orchestrated military intervention to kidnap Nicolás Maduro bore the hallmarks of a major television production, in which the scriptwriters crafted a heroic narrative devoid of any bloodshed. The background explosions, the gunfire, the din of planes and helicopters, and then the immediate transition to the figure of a handcuffed and humiliated leader: the gray tracksuit, the dark glasses, the headphones, the water bottle. The dead appear only as a minor detail, a number in small print.
The opposition was stunned to realize that neither Edmundo González Urrutia, the undeclared winner of the last elections -- which Maduro ignored to cling to power -- nor María Corina Machado whose resilience serves as an inspiration to those yearning for a different country, were part of Trump's plans.

Motivation? Because We Can!
From a policeman of the globe to the OUTLAW state it has become in recent years. IMO more clearly after the OBL attacks of 9/11 ... each and every administration operated the CIA and its armed force outside of International law and the UN Charter ... replacing honesty by lies, bullying and state propaganda.
Big tech and its social media was a crucial factor in fabrication of lies and delivering any war narrative the White House managed to supply.
The massive turn around in the MENA countries were managed by Facebook - Google maps - Twitter. In history described as the "Arab Uprising."
NATO was useful by calling on the Article 5 support in the aftermath of 9/11, making these states complicit in crimes against humanity. The former Soviet satellite state in Eastern Europe could qualify for NATO membership by joining the criminal enterprise of the Pentagon and its intelligence arm of dozens of entities coordinated by the DNI and special operations by the CIA under direction of VP Cheney. Under Obama for foreign policy, he relied on VP Biden who wasted little time to extend the military might of the U.S. and offered Ukraine the same opportunity. The slaughter we see today after 11 years of war 2014-2026.

Marching into the slaughter house of U.S. New Security Strategy ... America needs consumers of military equipment, not "defense" partners. Years of foolishness in Europe, self-absorbed personalities in Brussels.
Sky's military analyst Sean Bell explains why the United States is interested in Cuba, Venezuela and Greenland, as leaders hold Coalition of the Willing talks in Paris. He says all three nations are part of the US's area of influence, but the downside is Greenland is a member of NATO.

Explore the history of the notorious United Fruit Company and how its influence over the banana industry impacted Central America.
In December 1910, the exiled former leader Manuel Bonilla boarded a borrowed yacht and set sail for Honduras in hopes of reclaiming power by whatever means necessary. Bonilla had a powerful backer: the notorious organization known throughout Latin America as "El Pulpo". It was a U.S. corporation trafficking in, of all things, bananas.

Venezuela Activates All Its Comprehensive Defense Plans: VP Rodriguez | TeleSUR - 3 Jan. 2026 |
In the early hours of Saturday, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez confirmed that the United States had kidnapped President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores.
"Faced with this brutal situation and this brutal attack, we do not know the whereabouts of President Nicolas Maduro and the First Lady, Cilia Flores," Rodriguez stated and confirmed the killing of soldiers and civilians during the U.S. military operation, which carried out bombings against Caracas and three other states in the country.
For this reason, Rodriguez demanded the U.S. government provide "immediate proof of life" of Maduro and Flores. She reiterated a warning previously made by the Venezuelan leader regarding how the country should respond to a U.S. aggression, motivated "by the desperation of U.S. energy greed."
"The first thing President Maduro told the people of Venezuela was `people to the streets,' activated as militia, activating all the Nation's comprehensive defense plans," the vice president asserted.
Rodriguez's statements came after U.S. President Donald Trump offered initial remarks following his order of a military attack on Venezuelan soil:
"The United States has successfully carried out a large-scale attack against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who, along with his wife, has been captured and removed from the country," the U.S. leader wrote on Truth Social.
"Further details will be released shortly. Today, at 11:00 a.m., a press conference will be held at Mar-a-Lago," Trump announced.
