Sovereign Disentanglement

On Maduro and the Mad Kings of Multipolaria

Jan 11, 2026

Regime Change is real ... and it’s a good thing.

Of course, that all depends on which Regime you’re talking about.

And so, instead of setting this particular long-form up with the beginnings of the labyrinthine thought paths I’ve been tracing of late from the jump—all of which COULD amount to wishful thinking—I thought it might be best to kick things off with some clarity from this side of the table, wherein I’ll forward one of the few arguments that might get no push-back from this audience before I delve into the slightly more ‘out there’ theories I’ve been tossing around about Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro and the Mad Kings of Multipolaria …

And that I’m far from alone in.

That argument?

That the concept of ‘Regime Change’ has been completely inverted for so long on a Narrative level that the only way for Trump and patriots to forward it on an Actual level is to gild it in the same Narrative framing as the Globalist Regime.

In other words, in the midst of both Actual and Narrative chaos—engineered, I might add—on this side of the geopolitical game board for a change—which is to say, the Western Hemisphere—I believe that, by having Nicolas Maduro play the role of deposed dictator—a role in keeping with the one played by Bashar al-Assad before him, and with more to come, no doubt—the Sovereign Alliance is able to fill a needed leadership void with a sovereign-aligned—but more importantly, sovereign-CODED—successor that will be more fully accepted in the Collective Mind, not just of the American people, but perhaps MORE importantly, of the Venezuelan people, the Syrian people and any number of geopolitical ‘hot spots’ that may be fixing to ‘flip’ throughout the second (public) Trump Administration as the Sovereign Alliance gears up to make its final push on an Actual level, while the Globalist Regime is driven from the board first in pieces, and then entirely.

In managing both the Actual and Narrative leadership transition in this manner—which doesn’t ‘prove’ the sovereign or globalist leanings of the specific leaders who will continue to be swapped out—I believe it allows patriots to ‘manage’ the transition into a sovereign government on a narrative level, while paving the way for the massaging of engineered cognitive dissonance wherein the global public can begin to understand the redemption arc of a nation rather than a leader, and thus accept said nation’s, said people’s re-emergence onto the emerging multipolar game board.

These ‘hot swaps’ or ‘burn cards,’ which we’ll discuss in greater detail below might involve long-running Sovereign Sleepers who’ve been resisting the Globalist Regime on their own terms—and to varying degrees of success—just as easily as these change events could represent ‘Our Boys’ finally making good on whatever deals they’ve cut with Donald Trump and the other pillars of the Sovereign Alliance en route to making their managed escapes from their respective theaters while cutting off their masters’ noses in the process.

In the case of Venezuela, which is the most topical theater to kick off the 2026 chapter in the War of Stories, the people—in all lands—have been given permission to believe the nation has changed fundamentally because of the leadership change event.

After all, that’s what stories are: vectors for change in the mind of the observer, and so, which are often communicated through the same dialectic.

Under this framing, figures like Maduro and Assad, while verifiably opposing Globalist cartels for years—from Globalit NGO’s and electioneering (the irony,) to king makers and king takers like Soros and the rest—essentially ‘sacrifice’ their standing as true sovereign leaders in order to allow for the global translation of their respective nations’ ‘re-entry’ onto the world stage as part of a sovereign reformation I’ve been both tracking and projecting since Russia first kicked off its Special Military Operation in the Donbas in 2022, and which I projected six weeks before it happened, for those who’ve been around these parts long enough to remember.

What’s more, this ‘hot swap’ or ‘burn card’ method prevents the Global Regime from forwarding its own regime change on an Actual OR Narrative level … which might just give you a MAJOR hint as to the strange cognitive dissonance that assailed most of the MAGA crowd on the back of Trump’s seeming snubbing, if not outright condemnation of Maria Corina Machado right after her Globalist Hero arc had neared its zenith in the central narrative.

The perfect time for a rug-pull, in my estimation.

Which is exactly what Trump provided.

Need some circumstantial sauce for that particular thought path?

How about this?

Yes, that’s Globalist stooge Maria Corina Machado, now openly campaigning for a SECOND regime change operation in Venezuela because the first isn't enough.

So, what's really going on here?

I believe Trump executed a 'fake' Regime Change Op in order to intercept the real one Globalists have been planning for a decade, and attempting, in various stages.

By 'taking out' Nicolas Maduro (by extracting him, staging photo ops with him and basically getting mad about how Maduro does the Trump dance even better than Trump does the Trump dance, according to actual retarded media reports,) Trump has essentially siphoned the energy from the enemy's color revolution and rug-pulled its final stage.

Keep in mind, Maduro's administration still controls Venezuela, at Trump's behest and on his authority.

This will not do for the National Endowment for Democracy or the ghost of USAID, both of which have donated millions to Machado's campaigns en route to her winning a Nobel Peace Prize that was denied to President Trump, which is just about the cleanest reverse indicator you're ever likely to get in the Info War.

By swapping Maduro out with his second-in-command, then, Trump is baiting the enemy into attempting to drum up support for a SECOND color revolution in as many weeks, because they didn't get the one they wanted the first time around.

Russia is considering following the same playbook in Ukraine.

And China may in Taiwan, because Trump has granted them the Narrative Shielding to do so, while depriving the Globalists of that very thing by slamming the door shut on Machado's legitimacy while shattering the carefully-cultivated illusion of her public mandate.

In other words, Trump (and yes, Maduro) steered Venezuela into the path of the torpedo before it could arm itself, which should be Q-coded music to the ears of most in this audience.

And very, very few in the so-called Truth Community have figured this out.

Or, as I said last week:

Pro tip: when you find yourself cheering for the same things as characters who represent the NED, USAID, WEF and NATO ... you just might have gotten rugged.

All of which might lend some context to Trump’s Kayfabian, stern, but fair warning to Maduro’s apparent replacement, Delcy Rodriguez, a long-time partner in supposed crime to Maduro now running the same government, with the same personnel, albeit with a different Commander-in-Chief who’s quite familiar to us.

This stance by Trump simultaneously grants Narrative Shielding to him while acting as an almost hilariously-clear signal to those who engage with Sovereign Alliance framing.

And the media machine knows it’s complicating matters.

And that includes the ones who think they’re based because they play ‘the US is bad’ with every narrative.

To wit, after burning the regime replacement, Maria Corina Machado, Trump simultaneously applies Narrative Shielding to himself AND Rodriguez and Maduro’s generals, granting them public mandate at home, the appearance of some level of anti-jingoist framing on the back of their short-lived resistance to his proxy rule, while endearing them to liberal swine who always take the bait, and never learn they’ve swallowed it.

Trump gets to do this while playing as powerful and dramatic to the normie layers of MAGA, which are more numerous than many are willing to admit.

Rodriguez immediately bending the knee to Trump in the central narrative bolsters this unearned feeling among Trump’s electorate, while the media apparatus freely admits Maduro actually agreed to the SAME EXACT TERMS Rodriguez is currently meting out just weeks before, albeit ‘too late’ according to the same reports nobody in this community takes at face value … right up until they say something they’ve been pre-seeded to want to hear.

Programming isn’t always a bad thing … but not understanding it when it’s in the offing has to be.

Then again, I suppose it’s entirely possible the utterly cartoonish managerie of Mickey Maduro photo ops following his arrest and relinquishing of public power to … all of his closest long-time allies smacks of something very serious, and very true rather than the latest in a long line of genius narrative and actual subversions by Trump on the very media apparatus that seems as confused on the back of this Caracas cascade as most of Trump’s own support base.

Put more simply, I believe Donald Trump and the shadowed patriots in the Sovereign Alliance have given just about every archetypal carve-out within the collective we refer to as the global hivemind nothing they expected, while somehow landing on exactly what they wanted.

Which bothers them to no end.

Hell, even for the faux intellectuals at the table, along with the Media apparatus that wants to install a different proxy princess into Maduro’s vacant seat, Trump’s approach in the aftermath of what was initially viewed as unprecedented brinkmanship is being framed as pragmatic.

As for the new ‘interim’ status quo?

We’re being told it could last for some time.

A status quo that is already bearing fruit, we’re told, and almost unbelievably within a week of the change event kick-off.

So, what’s it all add up to?

All bases have been covered on a Narrative level, which has led to an asymmetric reading of the game board wherein I believe the patriots are threading a false narrative over the collective mindscape that is ironically allowing true actuals to come to the fore.

So, while I agree that the regime was tweaked instead of changed, which is to say, it wasn’t really changed at all, I believe the actual regime (the global one) was effectively and permanently blocked from effecting their own regime change op.

In other words, Maduro fell on the story’s sword, as was likely planned for some time, because he was the core animating engine of the true enemy’s real regime change narrative arc ... its prime villain and therefore, the narrative fulcrum on which the brave rebellion storyline was built, fomented and persisted.

In other words, it’s going to be VERY difficult for the Regime Change network to spin up the public mandate (or the illusion of it) for a second Regime change on Maduro’s replacements (which are really just Maduro’s deputies) so they can get their latest WEFian princess in place.

Especially if—as explained above—this new ‘partnership’ is already bearing fruit.

Of course, as we’ve learned time and again in this narrative dance, it’s just as likely that Trump will rug pull even this Narrative, and we will see Machado or someone of her ilk installed.

That said, many in the so-called Truth Community openly cheered for the Maduro arrest with the same fervor AND, most importantly, FRAMING of the NeoCon establishment ... the same corrupt faux conservative core that metastasized during the Bush era—including when Bush Sr. effectively ran the Deep State during the Reagan admin—before effecting Monday pivots to follow the very obvious signal some of my peers—specifically, GhostofBasedPatrickHenry—have been putting out regarding the obvious and cartoonish nature of the Maduro photo ops juxtaposed against the litany of major sociopolitical scandals set to be unraveled on the back of his capitulation and cooperation with the Trump DOJ, from cartels to election fraud, forgetting that it is not nations that rig elections, but rather globalist swine wearing nations as Prussian skin suits.

And that’s all BEFORE other major sovereign players on the game board get involved in the narrative, including Russia, who have already offered Maduro pre-emptive asylum on the back of Trump’s earlier promises of amnesty.

All of which, at the very least points to Maduro’s ouster being pre-planned, his ‘perfect’ arrest reframed more accurately as an extraction of a key player, just possibly not a player on the team you thought.

So, if Venezuela is part of the Sovereign Alliance already, now said alliance has the Narrative Shielding to say so due to the ‘change event’ of the Maduro arc.

Without said ‘change event,’ there is no buy-in to an Actual paradigm shift.

In other words, and as GhostofBasedPatrickHenry has theorized, it is far more likely we’re looking at a Venezuelan Devolution situation than anything even close to what you’re being told out of any player operating in the central narrative or adjacent to it, and unfortunately, that includes plenty of figures who’ve transformed the informational map the drops originally declared themselves as into meaningless pattern-matching games wherein the prime decoders of the era somehow come out the other side believing the same things about the same figures as almost all layers of the Normie hivemind.

The Venezuelan change event—and all those that will follow on from it—is being translated with clear ‘choice to know’ vibes from where I’m sitting, as the optics could not be more cognitive dissonance-shattering to the normie layers, or perhaps the self-serious Info Warriors most of all, who ironically do NOT engage with War of Stories framing that might have allowed them to sit back and enjoy Maduro changing outfits several times in the first 12 hours of the media blitz only to take a Dark Knight-inspired joyride through the streets of Gotham ... err, NYC before he faced his very serious charges.

I understand this framing may be strange.

It may even be unsettling for those who need to engage with the Info War on some measure of reality prime, but I’d suggest it’s a hell of a lot better than the actual version of the regime change template nations and peoples have been suffering through for decades, which usually ends with a night of extreme chaos, toppled statues and sovereign leaders being dragged (and bayonetted) in the streets to the cackling delight (literally, you know the clip) of the Deep State’s regime change experts, from Clinton to Nuland.

The true Global Regime has been running this playbook for years, destabilizing and ultimately deposing Sovereign leaders after undermining their messaging and standing in the public mind, first globally, then locally, while blaming the ensuing chaos on said sovereigns.

You have seen them do this to Donald Trump for a decade and more.

Take care when you find yourself cheering the same apparatus at work abroad.

So yes, from where I’m sitting, the Sovereign Alliance appears to be using ‘burn cards’ on some leaders in order to take on and ultimately invert all of the color revolution work forwarded by the Regime.

In other words, they’re transforming Actual color revolutions into Narrative ones, while disarming the former for Sovereign Ends.

After all, the Hegelian Dialectic only works if you control the third phase, which is the Solution phase.

If you execute the first and second stages, and your opponent sweeps in for the third, they have spent little energy for a massive victory, while you have spent significant energy (narrative and actual) only to suffer defeat.

What’s more, said defeat is total, as, again, the anti-Maduro, anti-Assad playbook cannot be re-run on the new leadership, since said leadership has been translated by Trump and a confused media apparatus as the opposition force to the deposed strongmen.

In essence, if the Regime runs a color revolution on Assad or Maduro’s replacement, they will be engaging in one openly, and without even the inverted illusion of support they spent so long cultivating the first time around.

They cannot frame the new leadership as the same as the old, since the story the mindscape has accepted is the opposite, leaving them rhetorically rudderless, which brings a whole new Actual-lensed meaning to the concept of drafting, and which you can see in the fact that the Media Industrial Complex clearly doesn’t quite know which way to play this one, which is to say, brand it, having built Maduro up as an evil dictator in need of swapping out, only to now find themselves in the uncomfortable position of needing to condemn Donald Trump for APPEARING to do exactly that.

And who can blame them?

If they do go all in on Trump’s pivot, they’re effectively admitting that it was never about Maduro, but about Machado, something her heroic (and entirely fake) daring Nobel escape arc should have made obvious to anyone with a semi-functioning pineal gland.

So, if the Media AND the Globalists wanted Maduro ousted originally, and are now very upset that he has been ... what are we looking at, here?

More so, what have we been looking at in places like Syria, Iran and no doubt with a cascade of change events—rather, narratives—to follow?

Not Regime Change, but Regime Ousters and Regime Blocking.

Not Globalist Coups, but Counter-Coups.

We are looking at what I’ll dub Sovereign Disentanglement, wherein the Globalist Narratives are used to fuel the very inversion of the Actuals that were always planned at the end of them.

And this Sovereign Disentanglement arc is farther along on an Actual level than it is on a Narrative one, which is why the real war is a War of Stories, as Stories serve to translate the new status quo to the populace in order to cultivate their collective mandate for it.

This begins by dismantling Regime narrative, drafting off of it where necessary and ultimately blocking it when needed.

The Regime’s playbook on an Actual level ONLY functions if they manage to cultivate the illusion of public mandate (which is to say, apathy) on a Narrative level.

And for the first time in history, on the digital battlespace, more and more are actively front-running their Narrative playbook, which preceded (or pre-seeded) their actual one, ie: Machado and the Nobel hero’s arc, now rendered moot.

Put another way, the Sovereign Playbook is such where Actuals precede the translating Narratives, while the Regime Playbook is inverted.

The former works better than the latter because it uses Actual power projection (kinetic, financial and political) BEFORE cementing it with Narrative (cultural, mass psychological,) while the enemy’s playbook relies on drumming up mass psychological support to forward Actuals they otherwise have no power to bring about.

As for why, it’s easier to tell the story of something that’s already done, however much creative license you use along the way than to tell the story of something you hope to achieve in the future.

And when the Narrative Translation is too difficult to achieve due to the calcification of the Collective Mind on a particular front (Syria, Venezuela, Russia, China, Iran,) then either a ‘burn card’ is used, or Trump the Pragmatist reigns with reason, given the understandable (to the public) power projection capabilities of Putin, Xi and other pillars of the Sovereign Alliance who have no need of or use for Narrative Shielding to publicly and Narratively support the Multipolar World Trump is forced to do so Actually, but not Narratively ... yet.

(That’s a lot of Narrative.)

Which is why said pillars have the narrative standing and gravity to forward the story in more active manners, and assist Trump with moving it forward to the next stage of the managed exit/change event, whatever it might be.

Observe …

Which is why the “too clean” framing applied to the Maduro extraction according to US MIL Spec Ops experts puts a whole new spin on Sovereign Alliance maneuver defense, which I discussed at length in both 2024 and 2025 in the context of the US and Russia and their highly coordinated (though not disclosed) joint operations in Syria.

As I said WAY back in November 2025:

Getting pretty tense out there, isn't it?

But for whom?

Often, what looks like escalating conflict turns out to be a structured series of moves designed to shift the balance toward sovereignty.

Of course, that's if you're observing the game board through the lens of the Sovereign Alliance, and yes, I do believe Nicolas Maduro is among that august company.

So, let's start with Venezuela, a key point of contention in the Americas, where I believe the apparent buildup of tensions is covering for a coordinated effort aligned with the Sovereign Alliance strategy.

To begin with the current flashpoint, reports indicate rising tensions as the Pentagon briefs President Trump on pending military options 'against Venezuela' in the near term.

This narrative involves figures like Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Dan Caine outlining potential actions that could include ground operations, while the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group positions itself in Caribbean waters.

As you've no doubt been told, this represents the most significant U.S. military presence in the area since 1962, quite an auspicious year from the perspective of the War of Stories, the narrative coming with over 15,000 troops, a nuclear submarine, drones and fighter jets on the back of what we're told is a record 22 drug boats destroyed in short order.

Trump has positioned this as part of a broader campaign against cartels, and sure, it is that, but how you define 'cartel' probably informs your overall outlook on the operation.

Looking deeper, it appears to be setting the stage for a targeted operation aimed at disrupting globalist networks rather than a straightforward invasion.

Now, set that against the mainstream coverage of the UK's resistance to these U.S. actions, where London has halted intelligence sharing over concerns about what they term illegal operations in Venezuela, specifically pausing cooperation on identifying drug-trafficking ships due to claims of extrajudicial actions by the Pentagon.

This comes from a government that has held onto $1.8 billion in Venezuelan gold at the Bank of England, framing obvious theft as protection.

On the surface, the UK's intel stance appears to be a division within the Five Eyes network, but consider it as a reverse indicator: the globalist side, via its UK representatives is now positioning itself in defense of Nicolás Maduro, the leader they've long criticized as an authoritarian figure in need of removal.

The reason for this shift becomes clear when viewed through the Sovereign Alliance lens, where Trump and Maduro are not true opponents, but are instead collaborating on a pincer strategy to target globalist cartel proxies in the region, all under the cover of a regime change narrative, and one said regime has begun to notice.

This is a smaller version of the Sovereign Pincer I've been writing about for three years between Trump and Vladimir Putin, one the Globalist harpies at The Guardian recently called out ... meaning recognized.

To wit, observe who's ready to support Maduro amid this supposed regime shift: none other than Putin himself, with Russia behind him, prepared to offer military assistance as long as Trump does his part in granding the soon-to-be 'exiled' leader amnesty.

Amidst these escalating tensions in the Amercias, we're told Maduro has reached out to Putin and Xi Jinping, and Moscow is set to handle repairs on Sukhoi jets, radar upgrades, missile deliveries and possibly even Oreshnik systems, all described as standard bilateral support, and all framed, of course as the continued thawing of Cold War ice left frozen in the 80s and 90s.

This setup recalls recent operations in Syria, which, if you've been looking at things through the Sovereign Alliance framing wasn't a chaotic overthrow, but a controlled transition: Assad relocates to Moscow, al-Sharaa assumes leadership, Russian forces adjust their positions for defensive purposes (maneuvers Sergey Lavrov literally told you were pre-planned,) and the U.S. military then moves quickly to eliminate ISIS positions in the area via a mass bombing campaign.

Yes. A bombing campaign on targeted positions with no Russians or Syrians in the area that came about on a whim and in the midst of uncontrolled chaos.

To add even more context from global patterns we've discussed before, this mirrors the Kabul Withdrawal, which I and some others have long seen as the fulfillment of the Doha Agreement rather than a failure, even if Trump was more than willing to saddle the Biden Administration with the latter narrative, wherein the Taliban used US weapons (intentionally?) left behind to swiftly dismantle ISIS networks in Afghanistan, in keeping with said Agreement with Trump, one formed before he voluntarily left office under the guise of a stolen election in 2020.

We're witnessing a similar approach in Syria now, with the managed handover allowing for the routing of terrorist elements through local forces empowered by prior arrangements, and yes, I believe the same framework is lining up for Venezuela, Colombia and South America, where the apparent conflict will enable the clean-up of cartel strongholds (meaning US and Regime Intel terror cells) using a combination of external pressure and internal realignments.

Back to Syria, al-Sharaa isn't just holding the line; he's actively committing to join the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS, signing agreements for cooperation and opening the door to a new phase in relations, including Trump's moves to lift sanctions under the Caesar Act and explore gas sector investments.

This is the Sovereign Convergence at work: Putin secures one side, Trump advances from the other, dismantling the proxy structures and accelerating the shift to a multipolar order.

The terrorist cells (and whatever intel apparatus is piloting them) get cleared out, the globalist positions weaken.

Maduro's expressed willingness for a managed departure in exchange for amnesty from Trump serves as a negotiating tool, but it's really about facilitating the purge, restoring national control and transforming the area from a tool of hegemonic influence into a zone of independent strength that can then be 'negotiated with' on even footing.

Meanwhile, the US is preparing to stabilize the Middle East through plans for a major new base near Gaza, a $500 million setup to house thousands of troops and expand the Civil-Military Coordination Center into an operational hub under the now-infamous Trump-negotiated ceasefire.

Officially, there are no US ground forces in Gaza itself, but this positioning allows for independent oversight of developments, particularly with regard to Israel.

It raises questions about who is actually under containment in this evolving landscape, as the former drivers of endless conflict find their options narrowing while the Sovereign Alliance advances undeterred and in a paradoxical, yet perfect, decentralized lock-step.

So, what's the major takeaway from this particular rabbit trail?

Don't believe your eyes, but do believe your mind.

These apparent escalations are simply steps toward real exposures, and the tensions aren't just a part of the process during the Actual and Narrative transition, but a core feature of the central strategy at play.

We're not merely observing the breakdown of the old unipolar system; we're seeing the pieces fall into place for a more balanced future.

Try to enjoy the story on the way there.

It is the real war, after all.

Now, there are times when I say I’m not taking a cognitive victory lap.

And then there are other times.

This is the latter.

And yet, it’s not to gloat, and it’s not to suggest I know exactly where the story is going next. More so, it’s an encouraging and resolve-inducing signal that, well, we in this very small niche within a niche of the awakening are onto something, my friends … and we’d better stay on it if we want to see this thing through.

Now, as we round toward closing in a piece that I’d expect has run much longer—surprise, surprise!—than originally intended, how is the Mad Maduro arc projecting effects onto the rest of the Sovereign Pincer and the Multipolar War?

(Narrator, which is to say, future editor version of Burning Bright: but he was NOT ‘rounding toward closing.’)

Well, in typical Bicameral Russian fashion, Dmitry Medvedev is the one who lends Trump a Narrative assist re: Maduro and Venezuela, while putting other proxies on notice ... rather, the color revolutions that might seek to depose them before more ‘extractions’ ripple across the battlespace.

The headline might look a tad confusing at first blush, but this is Medvedev’s sovereign schtick … to say bold-faced truths in a manner that makes it difficult to know whether he’s endorsing or condemning.

Buried in the meat of his interview with TASS, however, were Medvedev’s signal-soaked assertions that Trump’s move on Venezuela had set a tantalizing template for similar operations to play out in other theaters … namely, Ukraine and Taiwan, which, yes, we have been talking about for some time.

That’s right.

For once, we’re not the only ones using ‘template’ cyphers. And neither are the Russians, as the Chinese public are getting in on the game, and seem to know, at least on the Macro where it’s heading.

They even claim Venezuela as an ‘inversion’ of Taiwan, with the US arming the latter and China and Russia the former after globalist regimes lifted up the staging grounds as ‘checks’ on the Sovereign pillars of the US and China, respectively, with Russia’s own proxy ‘check’ and Regime staging ground being Ukraine, of course, which puts Medvedev’s warning toward Zelenskyy and yes—he even took a shot at German Chancellor Friedrich—Merz under new light.

As I have been saying since 2022, the Taiwan Strait is likely to be this generation’s (fake) Bay of Pigs and Cuban Missile Crisis combined, with a little Gulf of Tonkin to tie the climax (and the ensuing, Russia-mediated backchannel de-escalation) together.

Furthermore, Medvedev and Putin are alternating their signal-boosting to the continued violations of ‘international law’ by Donald Trump ... and previous American Regimes.

Far from being a condemnation of Trump, I believe this focus on ‘international law’ is a subtle and sly signal from Sovereign Alliance players against the ‘rules based international order’ they seek to dismantle, while acting as a nod to the ‘Power is Power’ refrain I first outlined in the Righteous Russia series, demonstrating in no uncertain terms who currently holds it, and who only holds proxy versions of it.

As I said in that long-ago piece:

In a previous entry in this series, I referred to Boromir of Gondor, the tragic son of a noble house in J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic masterwork, The Lord of the Rings. In an iconic scene many of you are no doubt aware of, Boromir asks why they cannot wield the weapon of the enemy against him?

He is rebuked with wise words from wise men, but I say there is a time and a place for this tactic, and we’re seeing the beginnings of it play out on the board of Putin’s making right now.

What if, just as the Hegelian Dialectic relies on reverse-engineering a problem and reaction toward a desired solution, the Hegelian Dialectic was reverse engineered itself? What if the tactic was used against the Controllers? And what if, in the place of merely clever storytelling and media posturing, the bedrock holding Putin’s Dialectic all up comes back around to that fundamental key to winning a war?

Power.

The ‘Don-Roe Doctrine’ isn’t theater, and yet, it is.

It’s a narrative translation layer running over and under the actuals that are only now bubbling to the surface of a slowly-awakening public mind ready to be freed from its globalist, collectivist shackles.

The charade is over.

Power is Power.

I’ve been saying it since 2022.

Now, they are.

And the wonderful thing about deployments like this is, that reading is Bicameral, meaning you should come away with it calcified whether you’re in the Info War or not, and whether you endorse the plays being made by Putin in 2022, Trump in 2026 and Xi at some point in the not-so-far future … or not.

But speaking of templates, the Info War is picking up on one having been set for Iran as well.

Another hotbed of regime ops that is currently in the midst of its own color revolution many even in this otherwise-discerning audience have fallen for.

So, is Trump going to spirit away Khamenei, only to leave the rest of his ruling party in control while rug-pulling the global regime’s planned version of the change event?

And is he going to grant Khamenei the same sort of photo opportunities as Maduro, Dark Knight allusions and all?

How about the leaders of Mexico, Colombia and Cuba?

And yet, Trump is already cooling tensions with one …

Talk about staging grounds.

And what have we here?

Was Trump seeding something MUCH bigger early in 2025 when he brought Greenland into the Narrative fray?

The Globalist Establishment (ie: the Real Regime) certainly seems to think so, which remains the most signal sort of reverse indicator you can get in the Info War.

And it seems they’re right, as, following his epic National Security Strategy that inspired my last major long-form on the subject, ‘A Multipolar War,’ Trump last week officially began the decoupling process.

He even framed it as a move to ‘restore American sovereignty,’ which is a little more than a hint as to just how seriously he takes the implied threat of the US being beholden to the very rules-based international order his moves—along with those of his primary, REAL allies in the Sovereign Alliance—are in the midst of dismantling.

More to the point, Trump’s deployment ‘against’ Maduro, but actually ‘for’ Venezuela (even if the population doesn’t know it yet,) is actually going to extend the Narrative Shielding blossom all the way across the Pacific, and right to Xi Jinping, while Medvedev is openly floating the idea of donning it to finish up in the Donbas.

Which might just explain a little bit of globalist maneuvering that flew under the radar last week.

That’s right.

Former Justin Trudeau handler Chrystia Freeland made news last week by joining Ukraine's leadership as a 'top advisor.'

She is an avowed globalist and anti-Russia warmonger.

She also has an interesting history when it comes to criticizing Nicolas Maduro ...

In May 2017, she issued the following statement over concerns about Maduro's impact on 'Democracy,' which Globalists always seem very concerned about:

“Canada is very troubled by the announcement by Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro that he will establish a constituent assembly to change the Venezuelan constitution, which will further escalate tensions in the country. This announcement follows the Venezuelan government’s concerning decision to withdraw from the Organization of American States."

In January 2019, she issued the following condemnation of Maduro for 'stealing an election' from, you guessed it, the avowed globalist and NGO-funded opposition leader.

“Having seized power through fraudulent and anti-democratic elections held on May 20, 2018, the Maduro regime is now fully entrenched as a dictatorship,” Ms. Freeland said in a statement. “The suffering of Venezuelans will only worsen should he continue to illegitimately cling to power.”

Reads a bit like a threat to the Venezuelan people, and on behalf of the Globalist Establishment … doesn’t it?

In April 2019, she issued the following statement after the latest failed color revolution against Maduro:

"The crisis in Venezuela, created by the illegitimate and dictatorial Maduro regime, is an ongoing threat to regional peace and security. The Lima Group met today in Santiago to discuss how we can support a return to democracy for Venezuelans."

But hey, who's this hag, and why should we use her statements on Maduro as reverse indicators?

Well, I could tell you, but maybe Donald Trump said it best in December 2024.

From The Hill:

"'The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau,' Trump wrote in a Monday night post on Truth Social while mocking, again, the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as 'governor.'
'Her behavior was totally toxic, and not at all conducive to making deals which are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada,” he added. “She will not be missed!!!'"

In February 2025:

"In an interview with The Spectator, Trump called Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland terrible and 'a whack' — and claimed credit for her resignation as finance minister.
'Governor Trudeau understood that. And he actually fired her because of a meeting he had with me. I said, ‘She is so bad. She’s bad for the country,'" Trump said in an edited transcript of a Thursday interview with the magazine.
Freeland resigned from cabinet in December — a move which ultimately led Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to announce he was stepping down as Liberal leader.
The president met Freeland in his first administration during negotiations on the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement. Freeland played a key role in crafting the continental trade pact to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Freeland, in a post on X, responded saying there was a reason for the president’s comments.
'There’s a reason Trump called me a ‘whack.’ There’s a reason he complained about my negotiating skills. There’s a reason Putin kicked me out of Russia, too,” she wrote. “I don’t back down — and Trump and Putin know it.'"

Huh.

So, we've got an avowed globalist handler joining the Zelenskyy Regime, and who stands staunchly opposed to the 'Regimes' of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and ... Nicolas Maduro while propping up the globalist, collectivist opposition to each amidst promises of untold suffering visited upon the respective populations of each nation should said leadeship fail to capitulate to her cabalistic masters?

Combine this with the cartoonish optics of Maduro's 'arrest,' the net effects that will come out of it on the very cartel networks and globalist NGOs he's been battling for the better part of a decade, and you MIGHT begin to see why some of us are saying quite confidently that Trump didn't just execute a regime change ...

He stopped it.

The globalists aren't angry about Maduro's ouster. After all, it seems his administration is largely intact as of this writing.

They're angry about the fact that Trump refused to endorse, and actually actively condemned Maduro's globalist opposition leader, the NGO-funded, Nobel Prize-'winning' Maria Corina Machado.

Which some of us saw coming.

After all, it’s not a world of nations, in the view of NATO, but of nations serving one world.

But then, perhaps this is the right time to ACTUALLY begin rounding toward an ending, which I hope doesn’t come off like too much of a recap.

But then, I do think it’s necessary to paint the picture of what I think has been going on up to now, and what will likely play out on the geopolitical game board in the months ahead.

Months ago, I wrote about Syria—not as the fall of a regime to hostile forces, but as a controlled transition under the Sovereign Alliance lens.

Assad's relocation to Moscow, the pre-planned Russian repositioning, the sudden U.S. strikes on ISIS remnants in conveniently-cleared zones ... all of it pointed to a managed handover that allowed sovereign players to purge globalist proxy networks while the narrative machine screamed and gnashed their teeth, or stared in slackjawed confusion.

At the time, I compared the practice to Russian Maneuver Defense, on both an Actual and Narrative level.

Fast-forward to today, and I believe a version of the same template is playing out in Venezuela with Nicolás Maduro's 'arrest' and extradition to New York.

So, is this the hostile regime change the media harpies want you to see?

Or is it something far more elegant—a negotiated, bloodless coup, a managed exit that sets the stage for a sovereign renewal on the back of kinetic purges of 'cartel networks' while front-running and neutralizing the globalists' own inverted playbook?

First, the surface narrative: U.S. forces capture Maduro in Caracas, he's arraigned in a New York court on narco-terrorism charges alongside his wife Cilia, pleading not guilty as a "prisoner of war."

It's Dramatic. It's Escalatory.

It's the kind of story that fuels endless regime change fever dreams from the Deep State echo chamber ... and from NeoCons who managed to keep their Bushie origins concealed under a decade of faux MAGA branding until 2024, when they went all in on war with Iran to defend Israel ... another Trump rug-pull.

And yet, there are tells that, at the very least, things are not necesarily as they appear are everywhere.

Maduro's administration remains largely intact. His VP, Delcy Rodríguez—now sworn in as interim president—has publicly signaled cooperation with the U.S., extending invitations for a "balanced relationship" and a shared development agenda under the very international law Trump is supposedly violating left, right and center.

Then you've even got reports out of classified briefings suggesting she coordinated with U.S. intelligence to facilitate the 'smooth' transition of power.

In other words ... the knee has bent. Not broken—bent—to Trump, at least in the central narrative.

But most crucially, and as discussed in this piece, Trump has refused to endorse the obvious globalist pick, Maria Corina Machado as Venezuela's next leader, who has long been groomed by the usual regime change suspects, including the National Endowment for Democracy and USAID ... yes, THAT USAID leading up to her very heroic, very daunting and very fake 'escape' from Venezuela several weeks ago en route to receiving the Globalist Gold Star that is the Nobel Peace Prize, something they tend to give to the leaders who start the right sort of wars rather than those like Trump, who end them once and for all.

In other words, the ultimate reverse indicator.

Trump's outright refusal to endorse that borders on a condemnation of Machado is not an oversight, but Sovereign Alliance Maneuver Defense, from where I'm sitting.

This isn't regime change as the globalists practice it—a chaotic, bloody, proxy-fueled inversion designed to install compliant puppets in order to get the bleeding to stop.

This is the Assad Template: a sovereign leader exits stage left under controlled conditions, amnesty implied or negotiated (remember, Trump literally said he would consider granting amnesty to Maduro in advance, thereby helping to facilitate a potential asylum trip to either Qatar or Russia, where Assad ended up,) while the administrative structure realigns toward the Sovereign Alliance, thwarting the actual hostile op that was brewing against Maduro for years.

The globalist Deep State wanted their color revolution in Venezuela.

They got rug-pulled instead.

And the signals that they're aware—panicked, even—are already emerging before the narrative dust fully clears.

Don't believe me?

Look at the prime signal boosters, who happen to be the core pillars of my theorized Sovereign Alliance:

Russia's Dmitry Medvedev calls Trump's actions "illegal" and a violation of international law ... but then notes they have "a certain consistency" in terms of defending staunch national interests.

I would have suggested that Medvedev is hinting that Trump has set a template that can be wielded in Ukraine ... but he came right out and said it.

Not one for subtlety, that one.

Meanwhile, over in China, social media explodes with hundreds of millions of views framing the Venezuela op as a "perfect blueprint" for Taiwan—a surprise move to reclaim sovereignty without the endless proxy bleed.

So while Beijing follows Moscow's lead in officially condemning Trump's move while demanding Maduro's release, the subtext screams recognition: Trump has provided cover for sovereign reclamation ops worldwide.

That's Narrative Shielding.

And Trump himself is telling you he's aware of it, threatening (or rather, promising,) to apply the Venezuela template to everything from Iran to Mexico, Colombia to Cuba ... and yes, perhaps most threatening to the Globalist stronghold (weaker with each passing deployment) of Greenland.

Hell, Denmark's PM is openly warning that a "Venezuela playbook" there would mean "the end of NATO," with the EU rushing to affirm sovereign principles they're happy to ignore elsewhere.

Again, it seems the wrong kind of wars are being summarily started (and quickly, sometimes bloodlessly) ended by Trump, at least, according to the players Trump himself has long referred to as our 'so-called allies.'

This isn't geopolitical friction between long-running allies, to me; it's globalist containment breach, and the beast has noticed.

So, I'm not here to convince you that Nicolas Maduro is a member of the Sovereign Alliance, but whatever your personal read on the leaders involved—Maduro, Assad or any of those proxies and pretenders to fall or to exit stage left in the midst of cartoonish and comedic optics despite the rather serious overtones of the narrative—the net effects refrain avails us well.

Proxy states, staging grounds, cartel networks ... they're all being neutralized or realigned by Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and yes, very likely at some point in the near future, Xi Jinping as the Hegemon trembles while their color revolutions are milked for all their narrative and mass psychological energies before being redirected away from globalist puppets and toward Sovereign Alliance ends.

The Media Machine is beginning to signal they know this.

The Globalist Machine is beginning to signal they fear this.

We're not just watching regime change across the board.

We're watching the regime—the unipolar hegemon—thwarted, blocked and bullied using its own playbook.

Its own template.

So, I guess the only question that remains is ... who's next, and how entertaining will it be?

And how is the Sovereign Alliance escalating ‘against’ Trump’s regime ‘transition’ ops actually de-escalatory?

Narrative escalation accelerates the informational timeline, and the War of Stories is nothing if not a Timeline War, as I recently argued on my show named after it.

I believe we’re escalating toward the climax, which is to say, the convergence, wherein the enemy poison is being drawn from the wounds they’ve created and left to fester in formerly sovereign lands.

Returning to The Dark Knight optics at play in at least one scene from the Maduro Arc, in which he resembles Harvey Dent being transported by Gotham PD … one needs to ask, why does Harvey Dent turn himself in in the first place?

Not to reveal The Batman, but to shield him.

So, who is Maduro attempting to shield?

Donald Trump. The Batman.

And who, then is he attempting to reveal?

The Joker. Rather, the face behind the mask.

Which might as well be the many faces of the collectorate, the Hegelian Hydra, the cabal, the Deep State or any other number of names we’ve assigned to its dark legacy.

And if you reject that potential reading of events, and believe Maduro is the Mad King George Soros and a litany of NGOs and Globalist propaganda rags have told you he is (in between breathless headlines calling for the people to rise up against Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Mohammed bin Salman ... and Donald Trump,) then the Net Effects refrain, as always, avails us well.

Maduro falling on the story’s sword doesn’t mean he gets a redemption arc in the public mind, unless you’re partial to the comedic Sovereign Alliance reading of this fifth-gen warfare PsyOp and PsyAct.

It means he goes down with the ship ... and in his place, a new story is crafted for Venezuela, and for all the other globalist proxies, staging grounds and would-be and have-been hot spots the world over, and in the place of puppets, proxies, pretenders and perhaps the occasional sovereign (with Assad and Maduro among them) taking the one deal that could potentially liberate his people from a Globalist enemy he could not overcome.

A story of renewed and resurgent sovereignty. Of the beginnings of abundance.

Of hope.

The real kind. Not the kind that’s sold, but the kind that radiates.

And as always, and in the end, it comes back around to the beginning of the story, and the main players, aka. characters who will bring it to a climax, and a close.

Characters who are aware of the great legacies they inherit, and the great story they are in the midst of telling, and inverting … one chapter at a time.

But then, you did notice the familiarity inherent in last week’s Atlantic rendezvous between the US and Russia, did you not?

The one wherein we were told in the morning we were on the brink of World War 3 … again?

Only to be rug-pulled—in the best way possible—again?

Which begs another question:

Are we watching a Cold War re-run ... or a total inversion of the very same?

On the surface, the Globalist Media Complex wasted no time coding the US seizure of a 'Russian-Flagged Tanker' as yet another escalation in what they've been desperately trying to sell as a showdown with the 'New Axis'—Trump versus Putin, America versus Russia, the same tired Cold War script dusted off and re-deployed with fresh coats of East-West paint replete with Hunt for Red October vibes.

High-seas standoffs. Brinkmanship on the open ocean.

Nuke-mongering.

All of which I've been predicting between these very players since I wrote my 'Scare Event' feature way back in 2022.

You see, the beauty—and the necessity—of cultivating a Bicameral Mindset in this War of Stories is that it allows you to hold two seemingly contradictory truths in tension without losing logical coherence.

It lets you accept the Actuals as presented while completely inverting the Narrative framing layered atop them.

And when you do that here, the entire story flips ... and the Sovereign Signal becomes impossible to miss.

So, let's lay out the 'facts' of the case as the System of Systems is feeding them to us:

US forces, operating under a federal warrant, tracked and seized a Russian-flagged shadow fleet tanker in international waters.
Russian military assets—including at least one submarine and surface warships—were in the vicinity, escorting or shadowing the vessel during the operation.
The Globalist press rushed to analogize the incident to Cold War techno-thrillers, complete with submarine cat-and-mouse framing and the specter of unintended escalation looming.

All 'true,' according to the central narrative.

Now ... let's play the inversion game, operating under the simple, but revolutionary premise that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin aren't steering us into the path of certain doom, but rather, directly into the path of the torpedo before it can arm itself.

As long as you understand that the torpedo is a story, one we have stolen and turned around on the invisible enemy.

To wit, that tanker was flying Russia's colors, yes—but it wasn't a Russian tanker.

The Marinera (formerly the Bella 1) had been stateless, operating in the dark fleet that hauls sanctioned crude from places like Venezuela and Iran.

Only weeks ago, during a prior US pursuit, it hastily switched registration to Russia—without inspection or formalities, a classic false flag maneuver in the shadow trade Trump and his Department of War are translating to the collective mindscape.

Even mainstream outlets have danced around calling it exactly that: a false flag deployed to shield illicit cargo under the protection of a great power's banner ... and I would argue that even that represents the optimistic framing.

What's more, Russian naval assets didn't engage. They didn't interfere. They didn't fire warning shots or force a standoff.

They observed, they 'escorted' ... and they let the operation proceed.

And where did this all play out?

In the broader Atlantic theater, on the open seas— forever soaked in the narrative residue of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Bay of Pigs, not to mention the Gulf of Tonkin on the other side and any number of other massive Actuals and their preceding and ensuing Narratives that either followed from or were followed by global conflicts that benefited the very Regime the Sovereign Alliance is in the midst of taking down, one deployment (Actual and Narrative) at a time.

Those earlier Globalist-orchestrated PsyOps and PsyActs were designed to maneuver American and Russian leaders into the exact same impossible position they're attempting to frame up now: brinkmanship that could only end in catastrophe.

John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev secretly and infamously coordinated through backchannels to avoid the final actualization of this plan the last time around while the war machine screamed for blood.

That's because Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have spent years openly acknowledging their own backchannels—disclosures, not deals—while the same Cartel (Actual and Narrative) tries to trap them in the identical Kobayashi Maru the Deep State scripted for their predecessors.

So I ask you, with the Bicameral lens firmly in place:

Does it seem more plausible that Trump—fresh off public overtures to end wars, rebuild sovereign strength and drain the globalist swamp—is suddenly trying to kick off World War III with Russia?

Or does it seem far more likely that the Sovereign Alliance is actively dismantling the Globalist Cartel's final gambit across the entire game board ... and that this falsely-flagged tanker, literally, chased and seized under the watchful, but non-interfering gaze of Russian forces was one of the most blatant signal flares we've yet witnessed in the War of Stories?

A flare illuminating exactly what the collapsing Regime had planned: to use shadow fleets, false flags and manufactured crises to spark the hot war they promised ... the one that will never arrive.

While also disclosing (to those with the eyes to see it,) the latest example of the Sovereign Pincer between Trump and Putin even the Globalists have been telling you is in the offing for some time, now, and that they are powerless to stop.

Because Trump and Putin aren't playing the old Axis & Allies script.

They're breaking it.

And as I've been arguing since my very first piece ever written in the Info War, when the history of this age is finally written—not by the Fake News Protectorate, but by those who chose to peer through the narrative fog— these two men will stand as the prime peacemakers of our era.

And that doesn't happen without a hell of a story being told along the way.

And a hell of a cast of characters.

Try to enjoy it.

And until next time, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.
