Although our country is engaged on multiple international fronts, it is noteworthy that a significant U.S. military presence now stands off the shores of Venezuela — right here in our own hemisphere. What I want to convey in this article are the sentiments of the Venezuelan people, who for decades have quietly held onto hope that this intervention might finally bring them freedom.

To be clear, Nicolás Maduro himself — whether he admits it or not — declared this war on the Venezuelan people, the United States, and the Western world. He has terrorized his own citizens, torturing, killing, or disappearing dissenters with impunity and zero accountability. Meanwhile, his regime has actively participated in narco-terrorism that reaches far beyond Venezuela’s borders.

For years, Maduro and his cronies have built a vast web of organized crime, prostitution, money laundering, arms trading, human trafficking, and the plundering of Venezuela’s mineral wealth. They have placed the nation’s financial system at the service of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations.

In other words, Maduro and his inner circle have turned Venezuela into a haven for criminal networks that destabilize the entire region and directly impact the United States. While headlines speak of a “war on drugs” and the fight against fentanyl, the truth runs far deeper: elements within Venezuela have been deeply entangled in the theft of elections around the world — including our own.

Maduro bears full responsibility for the consequences now unfolding in Venezuela. While many U.S. leaders bemoan the Trump administration’s firm stance against him, what the media fails to report is that Venezuela already has a new, democratically elected leader: Edmundo González Urrutia, who was supposed to assume the presidency months ago. Urrutia became the favored candidate after Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado was “disqualified” by Maduro’s regime. She remains in hiding at an undisclosed location within Venezuela.

What’s also missing from the headlines is that the vast majority of Venezuelans are deeply hopeful — believing this mounting pressure from the United States may finally free them from Maduro’s yoke.

The challenge, however, is that Maduro, who has a $50 million bounty on his head, is not the only figure holding power. He is propped up by powerful allies — men like Diosdado Cabello, Vladimir Padrino López, Jorge and Delcy Rodríguez, along with senators, generals, governors, and mayors — all of whom have profited from the regime’s corruption and criminal enterprises. Typically, such figures would seek exile in countries without extradition treaties with the United States, but the question remains: who would take the totality of this nefarious power echelon?

Meanwhile, an intense psychological campaign appears to be closing in on the regime. It is known that the Trump administration authorized the C.I.A. to conduct covert action in Venezuela. Reports from within describe extreme paranoia, secret purges, and constant changes of location and cell phones among the inner circle. The Venezuelan people are watching, waiting, praying — and believing that the moment of collapse is near.

It takes one election to usher in tyranny and an armed revolution to depose it. Predictably, Venezuelans were stripped from their ability to bear arms many years ago, once the regime was able to subvert the Constitution. As a result, they are utterly dependent on the outside to open a path towards achieving a true democracy.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.”
— Proverbs 29:2

Father in Heaven,
Grant strength and courage to the people of Venezuela as they stand on the edge of deliverance, and let truth shatter the chains of oppression that have bound their nation.

We declare a hedge of protection surrounding Maria Corina Machado, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, and those who’s life may be in peril. Equally we cover any Americans who have been deployed on this mission.

In Jesus’ name we pray.

Amen
