War Propaganda ALERT: Venezuela’s Cartel Threat Is ‘Made Up’

Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra discuss the latest U.S. escalation against Venezuela, from new “narco-terrorism” labels to reports that Washington has been running war games on ousting President Nicolás Maduro.

They explain how fabricated threats like the so-called “Cartel de los Soles” are being used to justify extrajudicial killings and bypass congressional oversight, reviving post-9/11 tactics across Latin America.

They also discuss how the genocide in Gaza has “expanded the parameters of what is acceptable,” normalizing state violence from Gaza to the Caribbean and widening the scope of what Washington believes it can carry out without consequence.

Washington claims Venezuela is a national security threat because of the so-called ‘Cartel de los Soles.’

The problem? “The cartel doesn’t exist”
