Nobel Peace Prize Goes to Venezuela’s Racist-Fascist U.S. Agent
10 October 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)
Maria Corina Machado, winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, dedicated her prize to Trump, who is a co-conspirator and is the main armaments-supplier to Israel’s genocide against the Gazans, and she too supports Israel’s war against the Gazans. She is a member of one of Venezuela’s three oligarchic families, and has long been striving to become Venezuela’s President, but is best known as having advocated for her fellow far-right politicians whom the U.S. Government has been backing to be Venezuela’s President, Juan Guido and Leopoldo Lopez. An excellent and comprehensive article about Venezuela’s three oligarchic families’ U.S.-backed efforts to take control over Venezuela’s Government so as to be able to skim that country’s natural resources in partnership with America’s billionaires, was Brandon Turbeville’s 15 June 2017 “What The Hell Is Happening In Venezuela?”. He quotes there extensively from Eva Golinger’s 25 February 2015 “US Aggression Against Venezuela: Fact, Not Fiction”. Another article pertains especially to Machado: Maria Paez Viktor’s 2 August 2024 “Venezuela: An Attempted Coup By Any Other Name”. It reported:
Millions of eligible voters cast their electronic ballots before the presence of more than 635 international witnesses including electoral experts of the United Nations, the African Union, and electoral staff of 65 countries. How many international witnesses are allowed for the USA or Canadian elections? None.
Nicolás Maduro was re-elected with 51.2% of votes (5,150,092 votes), and the far-right candidate Edmundo González lost with 44.2% of votes (4,445,978 votes). The other 8 opposition leaders received 4.6% of the total votes cast. This is the statistically irreversible results given out by the constitutional Electoral Authority (CNE) on election day, 28 July 2024, having examined and audited 80% of the votes. These results were audited 16 times.
However, the rest of the 20% votes have not yet (at the writing of this article) been released because of a massive cyber-attack. The elements of the electronic system that transmit the results to the central point was hacked over a hundred times in a most sophisticated manner that was traced to North Macedonia.
The Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, named as responsible for this cyber-attack: Lester Toledo, Leopoldo López, and M. Corina Machado. Furthermore, President Maduro implicated Elon Musk, considering him a far-right fanatic who has the technology to pull an attack like this and has many times denigrated Venezuela. It is alleged that Musk supported the supposed “humanitarian” invasion of Venezuela through Colombia in 2019. He famously said “We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it.” Musk must desire Venezuela’s lithium, apart its oil and gold.
Machado is now the U.S. Deep State’s Venezuelan puppet, successor to Juan Gaido and Leopoldo Lopez, to be appointed (none of them would be democratically elected) as Venezuela’s President (they’re viewed in Venezuela as being traitors, no matter how unpopular Maduro is there).
Many experts on international affairs are expecting Trump soon to launch an outright military invasion of Venezuela that’s based on his Administration’s lies that Venezuela is more of a source of illegal drugs into America than Colombia and Mexico are.
On 26 January 2018, the UN independent expert Alfred de Zayas was headlined “UN Independent Expert: Sanctions Must be Terminated and Economic War Must End”. He said that America’s economic blockade and sanctions against Venezuela are what has impoverished its people — not Venezuela’s Gvernment. And now the Nobel Committee, which gave their 2009 Peace Prize to U.S. President Obama, is giving this year’s to Machado in order to help Trump get Machado to become Venezuela’s President. Perhaps that Committee figured that giving it to Trump would be too blatant, because his fascism is widely known, whereas Machado is very little known outside of Veneuela and the Washington Beltway. Giving that Prize to Trump would have crashed the Nobels altogether.

“Netanyahu Just ATTACKED America, Israel in DEEP Trouble | Larry Johnson & Patrick Henningsen”
Benjamin Netanyahu has opened a new war front on America as the Israel's desperation grows. Former CIA Analyst Larry Johnson and geopolitical commentators Patrick Henningsen and Matt Kennard break down what is precipitating the escalation and what it means for the region and world.
0:00
DANNY HAIPHONG: Benjamin Netanyahu has been incredibly
0:03
desperate-looking of late. We had the UN
0:06
debacle where he essentially spoke to an
0:10
empty room uh during the UN General
0:12
Assembly. And then after this, he was
0:15
caught talking to social media
0:18
influencers, particularly Tik Tockers,
0:20
on Israel's essential plan to take over
0:24
uh this media outlet for its benefit. I
0:27
just want to play a bit of this. NETANYAHU: But we
0:29
have to fight with the weapons that
0:32
apply to the battlefields in which we're
0:34
engaged. And the most important ones are
0:36
the social media. And the most important
0:38
purchase that is going on right now is
0:42
class.
0:45
Tik Tok.
0:47
Tik Tok. Number one. Number one.
0:49
And I hope it goes through because it's
0:52
it can be consequential.
0:54
And the other one, what's the other one
0:55
that's most important?
0:57
X. X
1:00
very good
1:01
and you know so we have to talk to Elon
1:04
he's not an enemy he's a friend we
1:06
should talk to him now if we can get
1:08
those two things we get a lot and I
1:10
could go on on other things but that's
1:11
not the point right now we have to fight
1:14
the fight okay to take give direction to
1:18
the Jewish people and give direction to
1:20
our non-Jewish friends or those who
1:23
could be our Jewish our friends are we
1:25
going to succeed with everyone no will
1:27
there be a strong counter. Yes,
1:29
HAIPHONG: This whole sale of Tik Tok is for Israel
1:32
a hugely important uh component of it
1:36
waging a more effective war because what
1:38
essentially Netanyahu was also seing there
1:40
is he says we’re fighting with the sword,
1:42
isn't very effective uh to the we've
1:44
seen hundreds of thousands of
1:45
Palestinians killed by uh essentially
1:48
Israel and UK US and UK [and Germany and France] backed sword, but
1:52
it's not effective: what's needed is Tik
1:54
Tok and social media and the rest to be
1:56
taken
1:57
PATRICK HENNINGSEN: So Netanyahu's made a stunning, a
1:59
stunning self-indictment as usual, uh,
2:01
without meaning to. Uh but uh the the
2:04
the whole concept of um the takeover of
2:08
Tik Tok was based on a false premise
2:10
that the Chinese were stealing the data
2:12
of you know uh American teenagers who
2:16
were doing like dance acts on Tik Tok
2:19
and hot takes and whatnot viral videos
2:22
totally fake. that was engineered to get
2:24
us under Joe Biden's administration. It
2:27
began and continued under Trump. So you
2:29
can see the bipartisan uh uh the
2:32
bipartisan US Congress and Senate
2:34
working on behalf of Israel. So it was
2:36
totally disingenuous. There was no
2:38
Chinese threat on Tik Tok, and what you
2:41
have now you can see the endgame of it.
2:43
And so Israel's soft power has tanked
2:47
basically. Uh it's not it's not only
2:49
tanked uh in the West but it's also
2:52
tanking among even the Jewish diaspora
2:55
or the international uh Jewish community,
2:58
uh they can no longer rely on the
3:00
promise that Israel is the safest place
3:04
on the planet for Jews to have a
3:06
homeland etc., and a lot of that can be
3:09
held at the feet of Benjamin Netanyahu.
3:11
The the other thing that I think is uh
3:14
interesting is how he appropriated the
3:16
term woke right woke Right. And where
3:19
that term originated from is interesting
3:22
in the aftermath of October 7th and you
3:25
had Ben Shapiro and other sorts of
3:27
Zionist uh mouthpieces uh flooding
3:30
social media warning of uh all sorts of
3:33
you know day of rage uh Islamic sleeper
3:36
cells are going to rise up and so forth.
3:38
Even Charlie Kirk himself was
3:39
trafficking in those same uh that same
3:43
sort of hysteria uh in the United
3:45
States. And people were pointing out
3:47
that if if if you define wokeness or as
3:50
as the right does, they define wokeness
3:52
as the kind of rabid uh out-of-control
3:55
identity politics. Well, there is no
3:58
higher form of identity politics than
4:00
Zionism., uh, this has to be the top level
4:04
of the conception of identity politics.
4:07
Uh for an ethnostate or religious state
4:09
exclusive religious state running an
4:12
apartheid system that can only be
4:14
described as identity politics writ
4:17
large. So that's where the term
4:19
originally woke right came from was to
4:21
describe people like Ben Shapiro and
4:23
then the Fox News crowd, the uh the the
4:26
all the Jordan Peterson crowd, the Daily
4:28
R crowd then re repurposed it,
4:31
reappropriated it to point at people on
4:34
the right that were opposing Israel's
4:36
genocide. You see, so it was a bit of a
4:38
slight of hand. And you can see
4:40
Netanyahu is is attempting to do this
4:43
two years on, which is quite pathetic,
4:46
actually. And the real the the real
4:48
irony of course of that is that uh
4:51
identity politics is the thing uh this
4:54
is the most weaponized form of identity
4:56
politics in human history is Zionism, the
5:00
Zionist ideology, and they're using it as
5:02
a weapon in order to try to justify one
5:05
of the worst crimes against humanity of
5:07
not just the modern era but I will say
5:10
one of the one of the worst of all
5:12
time certainly in living memory. So I
5:15
think the the irony of that is quite
5:17
amazing. I mean you could go on and on
5:19
but the bottom line is and Neftali
5:21
Bennett former Israeli prime minister
5:23
said it the best. He was decrying the
5:26
fact that they had blown 120 or 150
5:29
million trying to buy influence across
5:32
social media platforms post October 7th
5:35
and we're being outnumbered by pro
5:37
Palestinian posts 16 to1. 16 to1. And
5:42
I'll tell you, Palestine didn't spend
5:43
any money to get that margin of victory
5:46
uh in terms of hearts and minds. Uh
5:48
across social media,
5:49
HAIPHONG: You have 60% of Generation Z Americans
5:53
saying that they are in far more in
5:55
favor of Hamas than they are of Israel.
5:59
And I think that this has something to
6:01
do with why Netanyahu sees the sale of
6:04
Tik Tok so as such an important weapon
6:08
for itself in this time. What's your
6:11
take on this, Larry?
6:12
JOHNSON: It goes through the broader change and
6:13
revolution
6:15
um with respect to media narrative
6:17
control. You know, I spent a brief stent
6:20
during my time at CIA working on what
6:23
they call covert action. How you u put
6:26
plant stories to try to further a
6:29
narrative. In this case, I was working
6:32
in support of the uh to counter the
6:35
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
6:38
And you know, with something like that,
6:39
it was easy to portray the Soviets as
6:41
the bad guys and us as the good guys,
6:43
even though that wasn't really the
6:45
truth. But, you know, the narrative
6:47
worked. Um, you know, the three of you
6:50
are really uh too young to remember the
6:53
Exodus influence. Um, and the movie
6:58
Exodus with Paul Newman came out 196061,
7:02
but it was it was around a lot on
7:03
television during that period. And it it
7:06
pushed this entire David versus Goliath
7:08
narrative in support of the Zionists
7:11
that they were these good, humble, just,
7:15
you know, wanting to plant olive trees
7:17
and feed the bird kind of people and
7:20
these nasty Arabs are running around and
7:23
that that uh you know, when you're uh
7:26
10, 11, 12 years old getting fed that
7:28
propaganda, it's you know, it has some
7:30
influence. Um, the media was much much
7:34
easier to control back then. Uh, I just
7:38
used these statistics earlier with Judge
7:39
Knap. Uh, in 1968,
7:43
there were a total of 54 million people
7:47
that watched the three largest news
7:49
broadcast stations in in in the US, CBS,
7:53
ABC, NBC. Of those three, CBS with
7:59
Walter Kronite accounted for 28 million
8:03
people. Uh, in August of 2016,
8:08
those three stations
8:10
plus Fox News, CNN, MSNBC
8:14
combined had an audience of 27 million.
8:20
Even though the United States population
8:23
from 1968 to 2016 had increased by about
8:28
140 million people. So we had far more
8:31
people far fewer watching. So that's why
8:35
this whole social media space uh
8:38
particular on the internet and you know
8:40
with Facebook with Tik Tok uh with uh
8:44
Twitterx
8:46
that has you know it has created new
8:49
challenges for the government to try to
8:51
control it and fortunately as was the
8:55
case during you know the Soviet Union
8:58
when they had imposed a lot of
9:00
restrictions upon what could be printed
9:02
what could be published what could be
9:04
aired. Uh at that time a a subculture
9:08
called samisdat
9:10
grew up in which surreptitiously
9:14
articles that would went against the the
9:16
the main narrative the popular narrative
9:19
were circulating. And so in spite of
9:22
government efforts to try to control
9:24
shape uh and dictate what the narrative
9:27
would be, there was still it just like
9:30
you know water seeking a way through
9:32
solid rock. it finds a way. And so
9:35
that's what we're living with today.
9:36
We're seeing desperate efforts of the
9:39
governments in the United States, in
9:41
Europe, and in Israel to try to control
9:43
the narrative. But shows like yours,
9:48
like you know what Patrick does, Judge
9:50
Napalitano,
9:52
Nema, the Duran, you know, you go down
9:55
the list of and and things you may even
9:57
disagree with, but there's so much out
9:59
there, it actually makes it almost
10:01
impossible for the government to control
10:03
it. And that that's the bright side or
10:05
the silver lining to this dark cloud.
10:07
HAIPHONG: You have in Israeli media with European
10:10
leaders bowing to fringe groups Israel
10:12
must prepare uh written by actually
10:15
university southern worlds UK research
10:16
fellow for the Israel center for grand
10:18
strategy in the UK uh this shift uh Matt
10:24
in Europe in particular is not just
10:27
Europe as I showed earlier it's with
10:28
younger Americans the vast majority of
10:30
people in the United States also are
10:33
incredibly opposed to what Israel is
10:35
doing and see the United dates as a a
10:39
big backer of this. It's it's very it's
10:41
clear as day. Where does all this fit
10:43
into this overall uh refocus or or
10:48
double down focus on the part of Israel
10:50
on information warfare? MATT KENNARD: Uh well their
10:52
brand is is now tainted and uh I would
10:56
say destroyed and you know uh Zionism is
10:59
uh from the start has been all about uh
11:03
lobbying
11:04
great powers to to get what it wants.
11:07
Obviously it the whole nightmare began
11:10
in London, with the bow for declaration
11:12
in 1917 when the the British government
11:15
promised Palestine to uh the Zionist
11:18
movement and that was that was a very
11:20
kind that that they were shoehorned into
11:23
that effectively by people like Chaim
11:24
Weizemann and they saw what they they were
11:28
successful in what they did but they saw
11:29
that they needed to get the great powers
11:31
on their side. At that time, Britain was
11:33
the most powerful country in the world
11:34
if they wanted to get what they want.
11:36
And they know that the whole of their
11:39
existence relies on the population,
11:42
particularly in the United States, but
11:44
also in Europe, being on their side and
11:47
supporting their government, supporting
11:48
them. And actually, I think that that
11:51
has the biggest rupture with that uh
11:54
strategy ever has is is now in place.
11:56
And I I believe it's never going to go
11:58
back because the other thing is Zionism
12:01
has also always tried to market itself
12:04
well it markets itself different to
12:06
different sectors but it often markets
12:08
itself as this progressive force you
12:10
know it's like a it's often linked to
12:12
the history of persecution of the Jewish
12:14
people. It's linked to um uh uh uh
12:17
progressive ideals like socialism and
12:19
stuff. Well, lobby groups try and do
12:21
that. But uh if you look at what Zionism
12:25
is as an ideology and as an idea, it's a
12:27
deeply regressive supremacist settler
12:30
colonial ideology, it's not it's not got
12:32
anything to do with progressive ideals
12:34
or progressive sensibilities. And that
12:37
whole fantasy and mythology, even the
12:39
term ‘liberal Zionism’, which is an
12:41
oxymoron, which and used a lot, it it's
12:43
unsustainable now and it's never going
12:45
back. So that's why and actually I think
12:48
Netanyahu is going to find that out
12:49
because I I actually think he's sincere
12:51
when he says that he thinks that Tik Tok
12:54
getting hold of Tik Tok [for Israel] uh through [the intensely Zionist] Larry
12:56
Ellison, will change the will, will be
12:59
consequential and get the population
13:01
back on side. But I think he doesn't
13:03
understand that he's gone way too far,
13:05
way too far. People's eyes are open and
13:07
especially young people — and these are
13:09
the people that in the coming
13:10
generations — are going to be in the
13:12
foreign office in the UK, in the State
13:14
Department in the US. the whole
13:16
generation coming up, absolutely uh hates
13:19
Israel and actually sees it as
13:20
synonymous with evil, which it is. Um uh
13:24
so I I think that it won't work. And I
13:26
think that uh
13:28
as as it as it becomes clearer and
13:31
clearer that it won't work, then they're
13:32
going to they're going to have to go to
13:34
another strategy. And and they've
13:35
they're even talking I mean they are
13:37
aware uh that they've lost the world
13:40
to that extent. If you if you listen to
13:42
um Netanyahu's speech the other day
13:43
where he said we we have to plan for
13:46
isolation and we have to plan for
13:48
autarchy economically i.e. we have to
13:50
produce all our own goods, cuz we can't
13:52
trust that we won't be hit with trading
13:53
boycotts, that's quite significant.
13:56

MY COMMENTS: Boycotts against apartheid South Africa are what brought down that U.S.-backed racist-fascist Government.
On October 3rd, I headlined “Are Tucker Carlson and Jeffrey Sachs too soft in their condemnation of Israel?” and presented evidences and arguments that Israel’s Gpvernment controls America’s Gpvernment.
