Maduro’s Right-Hand Man Reappears After Airstrikes – Calls on Communist Supporters to Remain Calm, Admits US Partially Achieved Goals with Devastating Attack
On Saturday morning, January 3, 2026, a series of explosions in Caracas and other cities in Venezuela signal the start of the US campaign against the socialist regime of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.
Low-flying aircraft could be heard, as well as air raid sirens.
Bright flashes were seen in at least six locations, including Fort Tiuna army base and La Carlota Air Base, where power outages affected some neighborhoods.
TGP’s Jordan Conradson reported that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were captured and flown back to the US. The communist leader Maduro was indicted in the Southern District of New York following his capture during a US military operation in the middle of the night.
“Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
Following the capture of Communist President Nicolas Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, Maduro’s right-hand man, reappeared and admitted that “what they (the US) wanted with the bombs and missiles, they partially achieved,” while urging his followers not to fall into despair.
