According to Carvajal’s letter, Venezuelan and Cuban intelligence services spent decades embedding operatives inside the United States, while select U.S. diplomats and CIA personnel were allegedly paid to assist the Chávez-Maduro regime—some of whom he claims remain active. However, there is no publicly verified, credible evidence that Carvajal identified specific U.S. lawmakers receiving bribes. That does not mean American politicians are clean; I just cannot confirm that the circulating names genuinely came from General Hugo Carvajal, Venezuela’s former Director of Intelligence. For that reason, I will name no one—for now.

What is clear is that U.S. F-18 Super Hornets have repeatedly crossed into Venezuelan airspace while vast regions of the country are experiencing crippling internet and communications blackouts. Per military analysts, the last time something like this was observed was decades ago, when the U.S. exerted its pressure on Iraq. Electronic-warfare disruptions have reportedly rippled into Cuba and Trinidad. Several foreign embassies have issued urgent warnings to their staff. And now with Maria Corina Machado and key opposition leaders successfully outside of the country, we should expect an intensification of the U.S.-Venezuela standoff.

The current U.S. military mobilization in the Caribbean is the largest this hemisphere has seen in modern history. Days ago, U.S. forces seized a Venezuelan oil tanker operating on the black market. Critics claim MCM is enabling an “invasion” of Venezuelan sovereignty or bowing to U.S. imperialism. But as she has made clear, Venezuela was already invaded—by Cuba, Iran, Russia, China, and by criminal syndicates trafficking people, weapons, narcotics, and the nation’s natural resources with total impunity. The tanker’s seizure sends a message to every profiteer of the Maduro machine: that era is ending. Consequences have arrived, and the enforcer is unmistakable.

Only because of the sheer scale of the U.S. military buildup—and the political resolve of the current administration—has the tide begun to turn toward Venezuelan freedom. Yes, American companies will profit in a post-Maduro reconstruction. That is the transactional reality of geopolitics. It is also the price required to give Venezuela a chance to reunite its families and reclaim its future.

The deeper problem is structural: Maduro is merely the emblem atop a vast pyramid of loyalists, middlemen, and criminal partners. Reports now suggest that his own Cuban bodyguards have been ordered to execute him if he attempts to flee toward Belarus, which is said to have quietly granted him asylum. In short:
Damned if he flees. Damned if he stays.

Father in Heaven,

Your truth cuts through every lie woven over Venezuela. Protect the innocent, and infuse with strength and courage those who fight for freedom. Bring clarity upon the nations, provide leaders who act with wisdom in this hour.

Break the chains of corruption, tyranny, and fear. Guide the steps of public servants who seek justice, and expose every hidden scheme meant to harm Your people.

In Jesus’ Holy Name we pray.

Amen.
