How great is this!
A Venezuelan family learning about Nicolás Maduro's capture by reading his Truth Social post on their television!
The radical left hates this!

That’s beautiful.
I imagine this is close to the feeling a patriot had 250 years ago. What a great time to be alive, to witness the GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER!
The family members most deeply emotionally affected by the news appear to be the older ones.
The trauma just wells up out of them.
LETTER FROM HUGO CARVAJAL BARRIOS TO PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
United States of America
December 2, 2025
Dear Mr. President Trump and The People of the United States,
My name is Hugo Carvajal Barrios. For many years, I was a high-ranking member of the Venezuelan regime. I was a three-star general trusted by both Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro and served as Director of Military Intelligence and a Deputy in the National Assembly. Today, I sit in an American prison because I voluntarily plead guilty to the crimes charged against me: a narco-terrorism conspiracy. I write to atone by telling the full truth so that the United States can protect itself from the dangers I witnessed for so many years.
I publicly broke with the Maduro regime in 2017 and fled my country, knowing that I face criminal charges in the United States. In doing so, I became their enemy. Knowing the risks, I acted with the strongest conviction to dismantle Maduro’s criminal regime and bring freedom to my country. Today, I see the need to address the American people about the reality of what the Venezuelan regime truly is—and why President Trump’s policies are not only correct, but absolutely necessary to the United States’ national security.
Narco-Terrorism
I personally witnessed how Hugo Chavez’s government became a criminal organization that is now run by Nicolás Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, and other senior regime officials.
The purpose of this organization, now known as the Cartel of the Suns is to weaponize drugs against the United States. The drugs that reached your cities through new routes were not accidents of corruption nor just the work of independent traffickers; they were deliberate policies coordinated by the Venezuelan regime against the United States.
This plan was suggested by the Cuban regime to Chávez in the mid-2000s and has been successfully executed with help from FARC, ELN, Cuban operatives, and Hezbollah. The regime has provided weapons, passports, and impunity for these terrorist organizations to operate freely from Venezuela against the United States.
Tren de Aragua
I was present when decisions were made to organize and weaponize criminal gangs across Venezuela to protect the regime—among them the group known as Tren de Aragua. Chávez ordered the recruitment of criminal leaders inside and outside prisons to defend “the revolution” in exchange for impunity. After Chávez died, Maduro expanded this strategy by exporting criminality and chaos abroad to target Venezuelan political exiles and artificially reduce crime statistics within Venezuela. Gang leaders were instructed to send thousands of members out of the country. This was coordinated through the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Prisons, the National Guard, and national police forces. Tren de Aragua became the most effective and fastest growing.
When the Biden–Harris open-border policy became widely known, they seized the opportunity to send these operatives into the United States. They now have obedient, armed personnel on American soil. To finance their operations, they were explicitly instructed to continue kidnapping, extorting, and killing. Every crime they commit on your soil is an act ordered by the regime.
Counterintelligence and Espionage Against the United States
I was present when Russian intelligence came to Caracas to propose to Hugo Chávez the tapping of submarine internet cables that connect most of South America and the Caribbean islands with the United States for the purpose of penetrating United States Government communications.
In 2015, I warned Maduro that allowing Russian intelligence to build and run a secret listening post on La Orchila Island would one day invite American bombs. He ignored me.
For twenty years, the Venezuelan regime sent spies into your country—many are still there, some disguised as members of the Venezuelan opposition. Cuban intelligence showed me their networks inside your naval bases on the East Coast. They bragged about having sent thousands of spies over decades, some now career politicians.
U.S. diplomats and CIA officers were paid to assist Chávez and Maduro in remaining in power. These Americans acted as spies for Cuba and Venezuela, and some remain active to this day.
Smartmatic and Your Elections
Smartmatic was born as an electoral tool of the Venezuelan regime but soon derived into a tool to help keep the regime stay in power forever. I know this because I placed the head of IT of the National Electoral Council (CNE) in his position, and he reported directly to me. The Smartmatic system can be altered—this is a fact. This technology was later exported abroad, including to the United States. Regime operatives maintain relationships with election officials and voting-machine companies inside your country. I do not claim that every election is stolen, but I state with certainty that elections can be rigged with the software – and has been used to do so.
People of the United States, make no mistake about the threat posed by allowing a narco-terrorist organization to roam freely in the Caribbean and throughout Latin America, doing everything possible to harm the American people—to finance anti-Americanism across the continent, and to facilitate the operations of other terrorist organizations and enemies of the United States within Venezuela and now within your borders.
The regime I served is not merely hostile—it is at war with you, using drugs, gangs, espionage, and even your own democratic processes as weapons. President Trump’s policies against the Maduro criminal regime are not just justified, but necessary and proportionate to the threat. He may even be underestimating what the regime is prepared to do to hold onto power. They have contingency plans for every extreme scenario to ensure they never relinquish control.
I absolutely support President Trump’s policy towards Venezuela, because it is in self-defense and he is acting based on the truth. I remain ready to provide additional details about these matters to the United States government.

The Venezuela State Industry of Election Fraud Was ONE Piece to Destroy the Republic of the United States of America

He’s got this military buildup outside of Venezuela. I don’t think a lot of people understand that it’s about more than Trinidad and Tobago, even, or the drug trafficking, that it is this election interference that has changed the global order. And also, there’s the counterintelligence part of this.
One thing that a Venezuelan, a former high level general, okay, he was the head of military intelligence. His name was Hugo Carvajal. He’s in our custody for drug trafficking.
He was extradited here in 2023. He defected from Venezuela in 2017. He was hiding out in Spain.
We got him from Spain, right? He just published in the Dallas Express in the last few days, an affidavit confession of everything he did while he worked for Chavez and Maduro. And one of the most concerning parts is he says he has names of many, many, many U.S. diplomats and CIA officials who they bribed and essentially are traitors to the U.S. They are spies for Cuba, Venezuela, which means also China, Iran, and Russia, because that’s the nexus in our Western hemisphere. When you’re talking about Trump coming back to Western hemisphere and the Monroe Doctrine, it was intentional that we’ve been ignoring our hemisphere because John Brennan gave the directive almost 20 years ago now for CIA station chiefs to ignore intelligence coming from Cuba and Venezuela specifically.
And I know some of the names that Carvajal has that he’s willing to give over to the U.S. government. I think there’s about a hundred. Some of the names are shocking.
Now, the average person might not know them, but me having been a political journalist now for a decade, it’s very high level. It’s very influential people. And it’s not just Democrats.

That about brought tears to my eyes. Seemed very genuine to me.
I love that! ♥️
And a sh*t-ton of democrats, and almost as many republican’ts.
The holidays have been HELL for the democrats!
Their even losing their immigrants now…..a lot of hispanics voted for Trump.
And it gets even weirder when you see what their cult-leaders have said in the past:
I do not think the Dallas Express is a legit news source or that this general would send his letters to it before anyone else.m, so I would advices caution in accepting any letters they publish as being real letters unless better sources publish them.
I have already seen some fake reports claiming to have seen his letter to the DOJ.
Alleged letter
Thank you for that! I hope and pray that this man will have an avenue to give his cross-examined testimony in a court of law so that the truth will have to be known and reported. It will be the beginning of the healing of this country.
But for the image of Trump on the screen, you might think these folks won a lottery. :)
This is a moving testament to the ouster of Maduro and his Moll.
