On the Smoking Syndicate Roundtable 25, the Cigar Coop Coalition tackles the Padrón 3000 Maduro. The Padron 3000 is a classic cigar that has been around for decades and has been one of the best-selling cigars on the market. Part of the iconic Padrón Series—often referred to as the “Thousand Series”—it holds a distinct place in cigar history as the benchmark for quality, consistency, and value in Nicaraguan tobacco.  The Thousand Series was intended to be an accessible, premium daily smoke priced far below its competition without sacrificing flavor or construction.  Join us as we revisit this classic cigar.

This week we dug into the Maduro kidnapping as the entry point for something much bigger—the Cold War racism and corporate vengeance that has driven U.S. Policy toward Venezuela for decades, why there has never actually been a socialist government anywhere on earth, and why the American left needs to get its definitions straight before the right keeps winning that argument by default. Then we checked back in on AI concentration risk, where the hyperscalers are now issuing long-dated debt at spreads approaching junk bond territory, which tells you what the market actually thinks about pinning the entire economy on a technology nobody has fully defined yet.

La investidura de Keiko Fujimori como nueva presidenta de Perú centra la edición de Hora América. El programa analiza el inicio de una nueva etapa política marcada por el regreso del fujimorismo al poder, tras una victoria electoral por un estrecho margen, y aborda los principales desafíos que afronta el país: la inseguridad, la recuperación institucional, la economía y la reconciliación de una sociedad profundamente polarizada. Para ello cuenta con las entrevistas a Carlos Neuhaus, integrante del comité técnico de Fuerza Popular, y al politólogo José Alejandro Godoy, que ofrece una mirada histórica sobre el legado del fujimorismo y las diferencias entre Alberto y Keiko Fujimori. Además, repasamos la actualidad latinoamericana con las movilizaciones en Venezuela cuando se cumplen dos años de las controvertidas elecciones que mantuvieron a Nicolás Maduro en el poder y a pocos días del inicio del diálogo entre el chavismo y parte de la oposición; el alivio temporal de las sanciones financieras de Estados Unidos para facilitar la reconstrucción tras los terremotos; la escalada diplomática entre Brasil y Argentina; el regreso a Honduras del expresidente Juan Orlando Hernández para responder ante la justicia; el aplazamiento de una nueva reforma constitucional en Nicaragua; y el retraso de las elecciones generales en Haití. El programa se cierra con la decisión de Brasil de convertirse en el primer país de América Latina en prohibir totalmente la producción y venta de foie gras, una medida impulsada por el Gobierno de Lula en nombre del bienestar animal. Escuchar audio

Varias asociaciones de derechos humanos han denunciado la doble tragedia de los cientos de presos políticos en Venezuela tras los terremotos vividos en el país hace un mes, que dejaron 5346 personas fallecidas, según el último balance de las autoridades. Las oenegés denuncian que no se les evacuó, a pesar de las réplicas, agregando las malas condiciones en las que ya se encuentran. Las familias de los presos venezolanos denuncian que no se respetaron los protocolos de evacuación, ni de prevención a pesar de las débiles infraestructuras de las cárceles en las que se encuentran. La activista Andreina Baduel, cuyo hermano lleva seis años en la cárcel del rodeo, en las afueras de Caracas, indicó que durante los dobles sismos y las diferentes réplicas que ha vivido el país, “no hubo protocolos de evacuación oportuna”. Baduel aseguró que “pasaron casi 50 minutos para que ellos fueran evacuados oportunamente, pero no conforme con ello, durante esas dos semanas posteriores al terremoto estuvimos denunciando que ese lugar tenía infraestructuras que habrían sufrido daños. La respuesta del régimen fue torturarlos, amenazarlos y chantajear a algunos en otras cárceles para obligar a tenerlos encerrados 24/7”, denunció. Al riesgo que vivieron en las cárceles tras el terremoto se suman las violaciones de derechos humanos, donde según esta activista, se tortura a los presos y no se les presta asistencia médica, como le ocurrió a su hermano y a su padre. “Lamentablemente es una situación bastante crítica. Adolfo tiene seis años y dos meses presos. De los seis años pasó cuatro en el Helicoide, en donde fue brutalmente torturado, por lo cual hoy amerita cuatro operaciones por secuelas de tortura. En el Helicoide también vivió la peor tortura de su vida y fue ver morir a mi papá en sus brazos, a pesar de que mi hermano rogó, suplicó, imploró que lo atendieran, no le brindaron atención médica y lamentablemente mi papá murió en la cárcel”, contó. La presidenta interina, Delcy Rodríguez, que asumió el mando en Venezuela tras la captura de Nicolás Maduro, impulsó en febrero una ley de amnistía para liberar a cientos de presos por razones políticas, aunque las oenegés lo consideran insuficiente.  Insistimos en la necesidad de que no se invisibilice las violaciones de Derechos Humanos que sigue haciendo el régimen venezolano. Aunque, ellos han promovido un aparataje propagandístico y comunicacional en donde hablan de un nuevo momento político, de reconciliación y de paz, todavía vemos 500 familias esperando la excarcelación de los nuestros. En Venezuela, 372 personas siguen detenidas por motivos políticos, según la oenegé Foro Penal, que lidera la defensa de estos detenidos, aunque se calcula que la cifra asciende a 500.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Growing signs suggest Iran is taking a more direct role in the Houthi campaign against Red Sea shipping, with new reports indicating Tehran has begun flying Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps personnel directly into Yemen. Israel's political landscape is shifting as former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot emerges as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's most formidable challenger ahead of pivotal national elections.

Do valor total, R$ 13 bilhões são recursos do tesouro nacional não utilizados em programas anteriores e os outros R$ 5 bilhões do Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES). A circulação dos trens das linhas 11-Coral, 12-Safira e 13-Jade foi interrompida temporariamente na manhã desta quinta-feira (23), após uma ocorrência afetar o fornecimento de energia entre as estações Brás e Sebastião Gualberto. Em um dos trens da linha 12, passageiros filmaram faíscas no lado externo e depois fogo dentro do vagão. Apesar do transtorno e do medo dos passageiros, ninguém se feriu no ocorrido. O senador e pré-candidato à Presidência da República Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), teria recebido R$ 1,5 milhão em três pagamentos através de seu escritório de advocacia contratado por uma empresa ligada a Daniel Vorcaro.

En Capital Intereconomía repasamos las claves del día y la evolución de los mercados en Asia, Wall Street y Europa en una jornada marcada por la fortaleza del sector tecnológico, la intensa temporada de resultados empresariales y las expectativas ante la reunión del Banco Central Europeo. Las bolsas asiáticas avanzan impulsadas por el rally de las grandes tecnológicas estadounidenses, mientras las plazas europeas afrontan la sesión con indefinición en pleno aluvión de resultados empresariales tanto en España como en el resto del continente. En Wall Street, los futuros se muestran prudentes tras las cuentas de Alphabet y Tesla, con los inversores también pendientes de la evolución del precio del petróleo. En el primer análisis de la mañana hablamos con Hernán Cortés, socio fundador de Olea Gestión, para valorar el impacto de unos mercados condicionados por el petróleo, que supera los 96 dólares, la evolución de los gigantes tecnológicos y las perspectivas para la renta variable. También analizamos la reunión del Banco Central Europeo, donde el mercado descuenta que los tipos de interés permanecerán sin cambios en el 2,25 %, el comportamiento de la deuda soberana, con las rentabilidades en máximos, y las advertencias sobre la delicada situación de las finanzas públicas francesas. Terminamos con con el análisis internacional de Cristóbal de la Torre Fernández, analista estratégico, con quien repasamos las principales referencias geopolíticas. Analizamos la aprobación en la Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos de un proyecto de ley de defensa de un billón de dólares, el acuerdo nuclear alcanzado entre Donald Trump y Arabia Saudí, la petición de financiación adicional para mantener el esfuerzo militar estadounidense y el proceso judicial por narcotráfico previsto contra Nicolás Maduro en 2027.

Mientras en Estados Unidos se acusa al exmandatario por narcotráfico, otras investigaciones se centran en posibles crímenes de lesa humanidad.

The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has fired his army commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, in one of the biggest shake-ups of the country's military leadership since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.

Ralph welcomes back his old running mate, Native American activist, Winona LaDuke, who has devoted her life to advocating for Indigenous control of their homelands, natural resources, and cultural practices to talk about her latest incarnation: hemp farmer. Then, we'll speak to Hal Weitzman, from the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, about how Elon Musk's feud with Delaware may transform corporate America. Plus, we tick off Robert Reich's ten policy prescriptions the Democratic Party should fight for to beat the GOP in the upcoming midterms.Winona LaDuke is an activist, economist, and author, who has devoted her life to advocating for Indigenous control of their homelands, natural resources, and cultural practices. She is also a two-time vice-presidential candidate with Ralph Nader. Ms. LaDuke lives and works on the White Earth Ojibwe reservation in northern Minnesota, where she runs Winona's Hemp & Heritage Farm. She is also a member of the Indigenous Hemp & Cannabis Farmer's Cooperative.I'm looking first at seed sovereignty. We're growing [European hemp] varieties and then we're growing these feral hemp varieties. They're called feral varieties (which of course, that's something that I love) which means that when they eradicated hemp in the 1930s with the Marijuana Prohibition Act—well, they missed some spots. And those guys kept growing. And so 80 years of being illegal—isn't that great? Something that's illegal for 80 years is still with us, rocking out. And so I figure if you grew illegally for 80 years, you are really a tough hemp plant…And so we are growing out these hemp varieties and built a cooperative because we want to own the seeds and we want to own the technology (the value-added processing), and we want to use this hemp as a part of our future as tribes.Winona LaDukeMy grandsons are farming. I don't know who else can say their grandchildren are farming—let me know. My grandchildren are farming. They're running the horses. They're running the farms. You know, that's a retirement plan. My 401k will be worth nothing, but my grandchildren will feed me. This is my strategy.Winona LaDukeHal Weitzman is Executive Director for Intellectual Capital at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, editor-in-chief of Chicago Booth Review, and host of The Chicago Booth Review podcast. A former Financial Times editor and foreign correspondent, he is the author of Latin Lessons: How South America Stopped Listening to the United States and Started Prospering and What's the Matter with Delaware?: How the First State Has Favored the Rich, Powerful, and Criminal—and How It Costs Us All.There is a race to the bottom. There's been a race to the bottom for many decades. That's not new. I think it's accelerated somewhat. Delaware has joined that race from having been something of a “premium product” in terms of incorporating companies—Delaware has become a bit more “cut-price” I would say, and in that sense has followed Texas and Nevada. So the conclusion that we have a race to the bottom and it may be worse than Delaware—actually I think Delaware's already there. So it's not that it's getting worse outside of Delaware, it's getting worse including Delaware.Hal WeitzmanThe trend I think we're seeing is the exclusion of small shareholders completely—regardless of the status of your shares, this is about how big you are. And if you're a small shareholder there is no corporate democracy for you… It was practice in the past for activist groups, campaigning groups, to buy one share of a company and then to go to the shareholder meeting so they could make the point that they wanted to make. Now that kind of shareholder democracy is being encroached on. And the extent now is to say: unless you have a large position (regardless of the size of the company and the cost of the shares), you will not be allowed to bring suits against the executives for the correct running of the company.Hal WeitzmanNews 7/17/26* Our top story this week is New York Governor Kathy Hochul's decision to impose a one-year “pause” on the construction of AI data centers across the state. ABC7 reports that this is the first such moratorium in the nation, despite similar attempts in several states, most notably Maine where Governor Janet Mills vetoed a bill to this effect. Hochul argues that the pause is necessary so lawmakers and regulators can formulate “Guardrails to reduce the risk to our energy grid, minimize land disruption, noise pollution, and protect our natural resources, especially our water supply.” Hochul's move comes amidst a broader push against AI data centers from the left. Semafor reports Senator Bernie Sanders proposed a nationwide ban in March and many progressives running for state and local office in the midterms have made this a cornerstone of their campaigns. According to this piece, “In February, polling from Marquette Law School found 70% of all Wisconsinites agreeing that ‘the costs of the data centers outweigh the benefits.' Among Democrats, the number was 85%.”* Another progressive Member of Congress quite literally stepped into another hot-button political issue this week. While visiting a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank Wednesday, Al Jazeera reports armed settlers stopped the van of Representative Ro Khanna and were “later joined by Israeli soldiers who continued to block the road.” In a video, Khanna points out, settlers can be seen “brandishing M4s [rifles], kicking the tyres of our van, laughing at us, mocking at us, videotaping us.” This continued for over an hour and was only resolved when he reached out to the American Embassy, according to Khanna. Israel has responded to this fiasco by blaming Khanna, accusing the congressman of failing to coordinate his trip with the Israeli government; Khanna retorted that “The [Israeli military] is lying” and called for the arrest of the violent settlers. Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson excoriated U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, writing “An American member of congress is threatened by foreign terrorists carrying American rifles, backed by a foreign military paid for by American taxpayers, and the US ambassador to that country says not a word in defense of his own countryman…It's too much, too insulting and humiliating to America.”* Following his return from occupied Palestine, Khanna again teamed up with Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky to sponsor an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which would have removed the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” from the must-pass legislation. Responsible Statecraft describes the initiative as “an unprecedented integration of the U.S. and Israeli military industrial complexes,” by creating “an executive agent within the Department of Defense whose sole responsibility is furthering U.S. and Israeli military tech integration across nearly every facet of the defense process.” This article also notes that “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described this shift in the U.S.-Israel relationship as ‘my plan.'” However, House leadership is not backing this commonsense, bipartisan amendment. In a letter, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he would vote against the amendment, calling it “overly broad” and claiming the amendment would “restrict our country's ability to confront Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations in the region who are sworn enemies of both the United States and Israel,” per the Times of Israel. However, Jeffries pledged not to whip votes against the amendment and indeed the House Minority Whip, Congresswoman Katherine Clark, voted for the amendment as did Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, despite the opposition of Jeffries and House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar. The Congressional Progressive Caucus reportedly whipped votes in favor of the amendment.* In more Israel-related news, this week Marco Rubio – who serves as Secretary of State as well as the acting National Security Advisor – announced that the State Department will launch a “sweeping campaign to dismantle…the International Criminal Court.” CNN observes that “The administration's ire against the ICC goes back to President Donald Trump's first term, when it targeted the ICC for seeking to investigate alleged war crimes committed by US forces in Afghanistan,” and that since taking office for the second time, the Trump administration has “imposed a slew of sanctions against ICC officials for their attempts to investigate the US and Israel.” CNN also quotes a State Department official who said that top officials, including Secretary Rubio and US ambassadors, “are calling countries as part of a campaign to diplomatically isolate the International Criminal Court.” It is worth noting that “all American presidents since the ICC's ratification have maintained that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over Americans,” and that Congress even passed a law calling for an invasion and occupation of the Hague if any American serviceman was ever prosecuted by the ICC, implying that this crackdown on the court is not about American sovereignty at all but rather the prosecution of Israeli officials for their war crimes in Gaza.* In another stunning story starring Marco Rubio, the New York Times reports the Secretary of State is functionally “running Venezuela from afar.” The Times story characterizes Rubio's position as the “de facto viceroy of Venezuela,” effectively controlling the country's “finances, the distribution of its natural resources and its government.” This story makes clear that while Delcy Rodríguez, the former Vice President of Venezuela under Nicolás Maduro, nominally occupies the presidency, Rubio is the one really calling the shots, with Rubio setting the conditions on what Venezuela's export revenue “can be spent on, and by whom,” and having the authority to approve or deny key governmental appointments in the country, such as the minister of defense. In short, the United States has established a shocking explicitly neo-colonial regime in the country, fulfilling the gravest prognostications of anti-imperialist critics of American intervention in the Bolivarian Republic.* Closer to home, Bloomberg reports the federal government has officially launched a grand jury investigation into the United Auto Workers and the union's outspoken president, Shawn Fain. The investigation stems from accusations made by the union's Vice President, Rich Boyer, who alleged that Fain used his position to secure benefits for his fiancée and her sister – and when Boyer refused to approve the benefits, Fain retaliated by stripping Boyer of his duties as chief negotiator with Stellantis NV. Fain has called the allegations “false” and is accusing Boyer of seeking to influence the upcoming UAW leadership election. Fain also claims that Boyer is the one retaliating after Fain “refused the vice president's request to hire family members to positions in the union.” Fain has long maintained that the Justice Department, and specifically the DOJ-appointed monitor, Neil Barofsky, has a political grudge against him because “the UAW took an anti-war stance about what was happening in Gaza.” According to Bloomberg, “Both Fain and Boyer have slates running and each is accusing the other of attempting to abuse their positions to benefit family.”* This week, another victim of harassment by the federal government, student activist Mahmoud Khalil, filed a landmark civil rights suit alleging that the government conspired with a number of private groups – including the Heritage Foundation, Betar, and Canary Mission – to “suppress criticism of Israel through a coordinated campaign to dox, jail and ultimately deport student activists.” According to the lawsuit, said activists were “nearly automatically targeted by the Federal Defendants for arrest and removal.” Khalil's lawyers argue that this “public-private partnership” could violate the “Ku Klux Klan Act, a Reconstruction-era law that sought to restrict government coordination with vigilante groups.” The suit is led by the Center for Constitutional Rights. The AP reports “Soon after his arrest, both Canary Mission and Betar boasted of their role in flagging Khalil's noncitizen status to the government.” Since Khalil's arrest, Betar has agreed to “dissolve its nonprofit status,” following a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James accusing Betar's members of harassing Palestinians.* Turning to the state level, this week 12 state attorneys general, led by California's Rob Bonta, filed an antitrust lawsuit seeking to block the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance, controlled by the Trump-aligned David Ellison. The proposed, $110 billion merger was approved by the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department last month, which reached the dubious conclusion that the merger is “not likely to result in harm to competition or American consumers.” In the filing, Bonta and the state AGs for Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Washington allege that the merger “would extinguish competition between Paramount and Warner Bros. and inflict substantial harm on movie theatres, basic cable distributors, and, ultimately, audiences nationwide.” This from Reason.* In the world of philanthropy, CNBC reports Warren Buffett, the billionaire chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, has “excluded the Gates Foundation from his sizable annual charitable donations.” As this report notes, the Gates Foundation has been among the top recipients of his annual Berkshire donations, totaling $47 billion worth of Berkshire stock since 2006. The reason for the exclusion of the Gates Foundation has been much speculated upon, in particular, whether it was due to the recent revelations about Gates' relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Asked about this, Buffett said that he had “read a great deal…in terms of what happened, with Bill and Epstein,” calling their relationship “distasteful,” but also saying that he “found nothing in there that was beyond what [he] could picture [himself] doing.” Instead of the Gates Foundation, all of this year's donations will go to foundations linked to the Buffett family.* Finally, British multinational diamond conglomerate De Beers, famous for coining the “A Diamond is Forever” tagline in 1947, reported this week that they plan to halt work at their “flagship” Venetia mine in South Africa as demand for the stones wanes. The BBC highlights both slackening consumer demand as well as competition from lab-grown diamonds, particularly those produced in China. That said, the closing of the Venetia mine – the biggest in South Africa, accounting for over 40% of the country's diamond production – will send shockwaves through that country's already shaky economy. That mine alone employs more than 4,000 people, while the mining sector employs nearly half a million. De Beers said they plan to reopen the mine in two years; in the meantime, they are looking to expand copper mining to keep up with demand from AI data centers.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Tonight, in this incendiary investigative edition of Light ‘Em Up!We're burying our nose into the international intrigue, kidnapping and arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.The arrest of Maduro is not the first time the US has captured a sitting head of government in Latin America.In December 1989, the George H.W. Bush administration launched Operation Just Cause, deploying over 24,000 U.S. troops to depose Panama's Manuel Noriega and bring him to the United States to face federal drug-trafficking charges.For the longest time, President Trump has had a “hard on” for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.Maduro is accused by U.S. authorities of being one of the world's largest narco-traffickers, actively working with cartels to smuggle fentanyl-laced cocaine into the U.S. and engaging in narco-terrorism.In March 2020, Maduro was charged in a Southern District of New York federal indictment for:—     narco-terrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine,—     possession of machine guns and destructive devices,—     and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices in violation of Title 21 U.S.C. §§ 960a and 963, and 18 U.S.C. § 924.—     The U.S. Government initially offered a reward offer of up to $15 million for any information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Nicolás Maduro Moros in 2020.  The Biden Administration's Department of State on January 8, 2025, announced raising the reward offer to up to $25 million and ultimately $50 million under Trump 2.0.President Trump's opposition to Maduro was driven by Maduro's alleged authoritarian governance, political corruption, and alleged involvement in large-scale drug trafficking.Trump also frequently criticized Maduro for undermining democratic elections (as he himself has done) and allying with U.S. geopolitical rivals like China, Russia, and Iran.In this episode, we'll shine the antiseptic light of the truth and examine:The allegations that Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Adela Flores de Maduro stand accused of — and have been indicted on.As you know from previous episodes of Light ‘Em Up:Criminal charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless found guilty at trial or by plea.—     Straight from the indictment we'll investigate the Trump administration's case and legal arguments …—     We'll examine the legal nuances of the DOJ indictment detailing narco-terrorism and drug trafficking charges,—     As well as the international impacts and law that cover head of state sovereignty, state sovereignty and the “legality” of such a sweeping international action.—     All with an intense focus on the response from the EU, Latin America, China, Russia.Trump says, “The Venezuelan people are “Happy”.  We've learned differently.The fallout from this raid continues to shape international relations, with global leaders split between condemning the breach of sovereignty and supporting the removal of an autocratic regime.Arresting and extraditing your political enemies can serve as a convenient way to get rid of political rivals — but it doesn't make the process clean, easy or lawful.Was this massive use of military force in Caracas a violation of international law, and more specifically Article 2 §4 of The UN Charter?Is Mr. Maduro entitled to immunity as the head of state of a sovereign country?  The U.S. government maintains that he obtained the status through a fraudulent election. General Noriega made a similar claim and lost.Nicolás Maduro declared himself a prisoner of war, a status that the last Latin American leader seized by U.S. forces, Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega, also claimed.What will be the geopolitical impact for Venezuela and what does its future look like in conjunction with President Trump's declaration that the U.S. would “oversee” Venezuela's transition, and the subsequent installation of Maduro's Number 2 … interim president Delcy Rodríguez.These actions will certainly have broader geopolitical and energy implications for the region.

La Ventana PR — Episodio 59 Venezuela bajo tutela: terremotos, transición y el nuevo orden en el Caribe Invitado: Ronal Rodríguez, Observatorio de Venezuela (Universidad del Rosario) Publicación: 17 de julio de 2026 --- En este episodio conversamos con Ronal Rodríguez, vocero e investigador del Observatorio de Venezuela de la Facultad de Estudios Internacionales, Políticos y Urbanos de la Universidad del Rosario (Colombia), sobre el momento más convulso de la historia reciente venezolana: los terremotos del 24 de junio, la extracción de Nicolás Maduro por Estados Unidos el 3 de enero y el proceso político que se maneja, cada vez con menos disimulo, desde Washington. Lo que discutimos - La emergencia humanitaria tras el doble terremoto del 24 de junio: más de 4,700 fallecidos (cifra que podría duplicarse), el cierre de la fase de búsqueda y rescate, y la crisis de salud pública en La Guaira. - El aeropuerto Simón Bolívar bajo administración militar estadounidense: solo opera la pista presidencial, y el impacto económico supera al del colapso del viaducto Caracas–La Guaira en 2007 (que costó 3% del PIB). - La respuesta de Washington: comparaciones con Haití 2010, el rol de Marco Rubio como tutor de facto del gobierno de Delcy Rodríguez, y los desafortunados comentarios de Trump — un paralelo incómodo con su manejo del huracán María en Puerto Rico. - Los tres objetivos de EE.UU. en Venezuela: control geopolítico de la cuenca del Caribe, acceso a la riqueza petrolera y minera, y un gobierno cooperativo — que no necesariamente significa una democracia. - Las purgas dentro del chavismo: Padrino López, Tareck El Aissami y el caso clave de Alex Saab, la llave del sistema financiero oculto que conecta a Venezuela con Irán, Rusia y China. - Dos mujeres frente a frente: Delcy Rodríguez como presidenta encargada y María Corina Machado como líder indiscutible de la oposición. - ¿Hay transición?: elecciones sin fecha ni reglas, el reto de 8 millones de venezolanos en el exterior, el Manifiesto de Panamá y su eco histórico en el Plan de Barranquilla de 1931. - El petróleo: de 3.6 millones de barriles diarios antes de la revolución bolivariana a cerca de 1.2 millones hoy; una recuperación que requeriría más de $200,000 millones y hasta 40–50 años. - La dimensión colombiana: 2.84 millones de venezolanos en Colombia, el comercio bilateral que creció 182%, y lo que significa la elección de Abelardo de la Espriella para la relación con Caracas y Washington. En la introducción - El tutelaje de Washington confirmado: la nota del New York Times sobre la relación entre Marco Rubio y Delcy Rodríguez. - La Asamblea Nacional del 2015 y el parlamento chavista anuncian una agenda de trabajo conjunta a partir del 1 de agosto — posible inicio de la transición política. - Cómo apoyar a Venezuela: canales institucionales Cáritas (Iglesia Católica), Cruz Roja Venezolana. Recursos mencionados - Observatorio de Venezuela, Universidad del Rosario — investigaciones, libros y monitoreo de la relación colombo-venezolana. - Libro sobre los 10 años de la respuesta colombiana a la migración venezolana. - Episodio 57 de La Ventana PR: las elecciones en Colombia, con Andrés Agudelo. --- Suscríbete a nuestra lista de correos en laventanapr.substack.com  

John and Aaron discuss their review experience with the CAO Surplus Maduro Robusto https://developingpalates.com/reviews/cigar-reviews/team-cigar-review-cao-surplus-maduro-robusto/

On this week's CUFI weekly, we examine Israel's decision to send humanitarian aid and disaster relief to Venezuela—even after years of hostility, severed diplomatic relations, and the Maduro regime's alignment with Iran, Syria, and other adversaries.In a world where many are quick to post, condemn, and perform outrage online, Israel continues to let its actions speak louder than words. Time and again, the Jewish state has crossed political divides to save lives, proving that moral leadership isn't measured by hashtags—it's measured by what you do when people need help most.

Editors Jimmy Lovaas and Ahmed Namatalla discuss the renewed U.S. blockade and attacks on Iran as well as new escalations in Yemen, plus more on Colombia's new congress getting started, former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro appearing in a U.S. court, protests in Peru, and the White House Correspondents' Dinner.Subscribe to the show: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and many more. These stories and others are also available in our free weekly Forecast newsletter.This episode includes work from Factal editors Ahmed Namatalla, Clara Ip Wai Nam, Michael Archer, Jeff Landset, and Alex Moore.

Why the President is expected to talk about 2020 election fraud as the legacy media rush to shape the narrative as midterm election meddling. Why are they not talking about Nicolas Maduro? What has Maduro told the DOJ about election interference as part of a plea deal? Tony Fauci's day of reckoning is coming - on July 29th, to be exact. Senator Rand Paul has called Fauci to testify - under oath - if that means anything...  

In January, after the capture of President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela, the Trump administration turned its attention to Cuba. In the months since, the White House has used every tool at its disposal to unseat the Communist government. In May, sparking fears of a humanitarian crisis, Cuba reported that it had officially run out of oil as a result of the U.S. oil blockade. Today, Lynsea Garrison, a senior producer for “The Daily,” talks with one Cuban about how his life has transformed under President Trump's pressure campaign, and what the future holds for Cuban people. Guest: Lynsea Garrison, senior producer on “The Daily” for The New York Times. Background reading:  Cuba's already-struggling schools are ending the academic year early because of the crippling fuel shortage caused by the U.S. oil blockade. The blockade has deepened a humanitarian crisis, forcing Cubans to lean on the island's long tradition of community solidarity.

Who will be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2028? What will the price of gold be at the end of the week? Who will win the World Cup? All of these are relatively benign bets you can make today. But there are other bets that maybe aren't so benign, like will Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro be removed from office by the end of January? That well-timed bet, made in the hours before the U.S. captured and extracted Maduro, netted the anonymous investor who made it $400,000. Are prediction markets democratizing information as some argue or are we monetizing reality in a way that incentivizes perverse motives? Alex Goldenberg, Fellow at Rutgers University, joins The Excerpt to explain how these markets work and the risks they pose financially and politically.

Preview for Later Today: Mary Anastasia O'Grady criticizes the U.S. State Department's strategy in Venezuela. She argues that relying on the corrupt Maduro regime for stability after natural disasters is a "bad bet" that hinders a democratic transition. (5)11948

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-8-20261966 SWEDEN Chaos in the Strait of Hormuz and Global Alignments. Gordon Chang and Kamran Bokhari. The Strait of Hormuz memorandum of understanding has collapsed, leading the U.S. to end the ceasefire with Iran. Iran is attempting to divide international allies by courting India and Pakistan. Pakistan balances a mediating role against domestic economic instability, while India shifts toward a burden-sharing role in the Indo-Pacific. (1) Chinese Missile Provocations and the Undersea Power Struggle. Gordon Chang and Rebecca Grant. Chinalaunched a long-range missile over sovereign territories toward Fiji, an aggressive move coinciding with major NATO and RIMPAC events. The test signals China's intent to expand its nuclear triad despite its currently "noisy" submarine technology. The U.S. maintains its undersea dominance through advanced programs like the Columbia-class boomer and unmanned Orca systems. (2) Religious Persecution and the Rise of Underground Christianity in China. Gordon Chang and Piero Tozzi. Pastor Ezra Jin's release highlights the CCP's continued persecution of underground churches that refuse to answer to the state. Despite intense Sinicization and arrests of figures like Jimmy Lai, Christianity is flourishing in China as a witness for human dignity. Totalitarian control efforts have created an enemy in an underground congregation potentially numbering over 100 million. (3) PLA Purges and Xi Jinping's Power Consolidation. Gordon Chang and Piero Tozzi. Xi Jinping's provocative missile launches are linked to internal instability and purges within the Central Military Commission. By creating international tension, Xi forces competing party factions to rally behind his leadership. While he controls the propaganda and state security apparatus, his control over the People's Liberation Army remains incomplete. (4) Venezuela's Humanitarian Crisis and US Diplomatic Pragmatism. Evan Ellis. Twin earthquakes in Venezuelahave left thousands dead and missing, with the Maduro regime's response marked by corruption and inefficiency. The U.S. continues to work with regime "thugs" for stability and oil access while preventing the democratically elected leader, María Corina Machado, from returning to aid her country. (5) Electoral Shifts Toward U.S. Cooperation in Peru and Colombia. Evan Ellis. Keiko Fujimori in Peru and Abelardo de la Espriella in Colombia have secured victories, pledging to join U.S.-led regional security coalitions. Both leaders inherit nations plagued by record-high coca production and expanded criminal groups. Their success is viewed as critical for regional stability and counter-cartel efforts in the Americas. (6) Bolivia's Instability and US-Mexico Trade Leverage. Evan Ellis. Bolivia remains on "borrowed time" as Evo Morales leads blockades from his coca-growing stronghold. Simultaneously, the U.S. uses the USMCA's renewal uncertainty as leverage to ensure Mexico's cooperation on migration and drugs. This strategy risks long-term investment but forces immediate strategic compliance from the Mexican administration. (7) Cuba's Grid Collapse and Caribbean Regional Integration. Evan Ellis. Cuba's recurring blackouts highlight a crumbling infrastructure and the failure of economic reforms to appease U.S. sanctions. While the U.S. applies individual sanctions on leaders, CARICOM is expanding its regional influence, recently bringing Martinique in as an associate member to bolster Caribbean governance and maritime security. (8) Russia's Energy Chokepoint and the Shifting Global Oil Map. Michael Bernstam. Ukrainian drone strikes on major Russian refineries have triggered a severe fuel crisis, forcing export bans on diesel and gasoline. Meanwhile, Gulf states are building massive pipelines to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. These developments are neutralizing Iran's "golden weapon" and shifting global oil transit maps away from traditional naval chokepoints. (9) The Strategic Impact of the Drone War on Russia. Michael Bernstam. Ukrainian drones have achieved what sanctions could not, choking Russia's fuel supply and forcing it to sell oil at massive discounts to China and India. This new form of decentralized drone warfare has made fuel supplies the primary vulnerability of the Russianeconomy. Modern nations, including Taiwan, are now observing these lessons in resource warfare. (10) The Capitalism Model and Monetization of the Space Sector. Bob Zimmerman. Wall Street has embraced commercial space, with private companies like Catalyst performing satellite servicing missions once reserved for government agencies. The U.S. Space Force now buys rapid-launch capabilities from the private sector for orbital reconnaissance. India is also transitioning its space program toward this capitalist model to increase efficiency. (11) Asteroid Probes and Scientific Cosmological Anomalies. Bob Zimmerman. Missions are targeting asteroids like the potentially dangerous Apophis, with a fleet of probes planning a 2029 flyby. Meanwhile, the Euclid telescope has detected ancient quasars that challenge Big Bang timelines. Additional anomalies in Galaxy Centaurus A and unpredictable sunspot activity suggest current cosmological models remain incomplete. (12) European Heat Waves and Shifting Commodity Markets. Simon Constable. Extreme heat is becoming the norm in Europe, driving demand for air conditioning and pressuring electrical infrastructure. Commodity prices show mixed signals; oil and gas have risen due to Middle East tensions, while industrial metals like copper decline. In Britain, Andy Burnham is positioned as a likely future prime leader. (13) The Invisible Power of Global Data Centers. Simon Constable. Data centers represent the digital future, with Virginia housing the world's highest concentration for the federal government. Despite accounting for over 4% of U.S. electricity usage, a quiz reveals that a quarter of Americans know nothing about these facilities. The U.K.holds the second-highest number of data centers globally. (14) The Sino-American Lunar Race for Permanent Presence. Rick Fisher and Doug Messier. China aims for a permanent lunar presence at the South Pole to potentially deny access to other powers. NASA is countering with a civilian coalition of private partners like SpaceX to develop sustainable infrastructure for future Mars missions. China's architecture mimics Soviet systems, while NASA's Starship requires complex orbital refueling to reach the moon. (15) Risk Aversion and Logistical Timelines for Moon Landings. Rick Fisher and Doug Messier. The Chinesespace program is highly risk-averse to protect the Communist Party's legitimacy. While NASA is "game on," it faces challenges with the Starship lander, which reportedly requires at least 15 refueling launches per mission. China hopes for a manned landing by 2030, while NASA's 2028 timeline remains subject to potential delays. (16)

Venezuela's Humanitarian Crisis and US Diplomatic Pragmatism. Evan Ellis. Twin earthquakes in Venezuela have left thousands dead and missing, with the Maduro regime's response marked by corruption and inefficiency. The U.S.continues to work with regime "thugs" for stability and oil access while preventing the democratically elected leader, María Corina Machado, from returning to aid her country. (5)1904

Germania Rodriguez Poleo — journalist, writer, and Venezuelan exile — escaped her country at age 11 after the Chavez regime accused her mother of terrorism, tortured their bodyguard to death, shot at their car, and raided their home. She arrived in Miami as a refugee. Then she went to NYU and voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary. Her Reason magazine article "My Family Fled Socialism. Then I Voted for Bernie Sanders." tells the story of how that happened — and how she found her way back out. She's also the narrator of the documentary Escaping Venezuela. We covered: her mother's escape on a boat to Curacao and what Interpol red notices actually do to dissidents; the Pinochet whataboutism that follows every conversation about left-wing atrocities; what NYU taught (and didn't teach) about communism, socialism, and US foreign policy; why the pipeline from wealth and privilege to socialism is real and why it matters who makes the culture; the DSA's old platform calling for nationalization of media — and what that looks like in practice in Venezuela; the 32 Cuban soldiers killed protecting Maduro when the US captured him; the 2024 Venezuelan election that was stolen in plain sight; the recent earthquake with 40,000 missing while the dictatorship reports 3,000 dead; why she believes the US should be the policeman of the world; and the tragedy of exile — what it means to have your entire family legacy erased.
