Update 2: President Trump is going on Fox News to detail some of what he saw and the planning that went into the mission ahead of press conference later this morning.
Update 1: Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife have been captured and flown out of the country, according to President Donald Trump.
Original Story: U.S. military forces carried out strikes in and around Caracas early Saturday in what appears to be a major escalation of Washington’s campaign against the government of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro. The action marks the first known instance of direct U.S. strikes inside the Venezuelan capital, dramatically raising the stakes in an already volatile standoff.
Residents across Caracas reported multiple loud explosions shortly after 2 a.m. local time, accompanied by the sound of low-flying aircraft and widespread power outages. Video circulating on social media showed flashes in the sky and smoke rising from several areas of the city. Venezuelan authorities moved quickly to shut down parts of the capital and mobilize emergency services as confusion spread among civilians awakened by the blasts.
According to statements from the Maduro government, the strikes hit military-related sites in Caracas and nearby regions. Venezuelan officials characterized the operation as an act of “foreign military aggression” and accused the United States of deliberately targeting sovereign territory. State media claimed air defense systems were activated and that several installations were damaged, though independent confirmation of specific targets remains limited.
As of publication, U.S. officials had not issued a detailed public briefing outlining the scope of the operation. However, the strikes follow weeks of mounting tension between Washington and Caracas, including stepped-up naval and air activity in the Caribbean and increasingly blunt rhetoric from the White House. President Donald Trump has repeatedly accused the Maduro regime of acting as a narco-state and of facilitating criminal networks that threaten U.S. national security.
Regional reaction was swift. Several Latin American leaders called for emergency diplomatic talks, while others urged restraint amid fears the confrontation could spiral into a broader conflict. Reports indicated that at least one regional government was pushing for an emergency session at the United Nations to address the situation.
Inside Venezuela, Maduro declared a national emergency and urged supporters to remain “mobilized” against what he described as an imperialist attack. Government messaging framed the strikes as an attempt to destabilize the country and seize control of its natural resources, a long-standing narrative used by the regime during past confrontations with Washington.
The events in Caracas represent a sharp departure from previous U.S. actions, which had largely focused on sanctions, maritime interdictions, and limited operations outside Venezuela’s major population centers. Striking the capital signals a willingness by Washington to apply direct military pressure at the heart of the regime’s power base.
The situation remains fluid, with conflicting claims and limited verified information emerging from the ground. Further escalation now hinges on whether the United States confirms and expands the operation, and how the Maduro regime chooses to respond in the coming hours and days.
This is a developing story and will be updated as additional confirmed details become available.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
I can hear the howls of outrage from the lying thieving MARXOCRATS on the floors of Congress already. Another criminal source of income destroyed. Exposure of their Somali slave larcenies and now this. Oh, the humanity. Counting down to enjoy their Exploding Heads! America First! ULTRAMAGA!
The Exploding Democrat heads on the floor of Congress put the videos above to shame.
So now we are kidnappers with the applause of npc’s. The free and democratic west strikes again.
An amazing operation when a Republican is in control and disaster when a Demoncrap tries to act like a Rambo. Uckfing LOSERS!
