Well, the telenovela that is Venezuela just took another dramatic turn, and this episode stars none other than the CIA — allegedly. According to Venezuela’s socialist regime, they’ve captured a group tied to the CIA and are now accusing the United States of plotting a “false flag” operation. Because when your economy is imploding, your people are starving, and your socialist utopia is collapsing under its own ideological weight, what better distraction than claiming the CIA is about to stage a Hollywood-style operation on your turf?

The Venezuelan government, which still clings to power like a cat to a curtain during an earthquake, dropped this claim without offering any real proof. No names, no photos, no smoking gun — just more dramatic finger-pointing from a regime that’s made conspiracy theories its top export. According to their narrative, the U.S. is plotting a false flag attack to destabilize the country. That’s right, the same U.S. that’s been working overtime to clean up the global mess that leftist regimes like Venezuela have made. Washington, they say, is out to get them — again.

Now let’s put this in perspective. This is the same Venezuela that danced itself right into economic ruin thanks to years of socialist mismanagement, price controls, and nationalizing anything that wasn’t bolted down. What do you get when you hand over your economy to Marxist ideologues? Blackouts, breadlines, and now, apparently, imaginary CIA operatives running amok in Caracas.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Venezuela has played the blame-the-Yankees game. It’s practically tradition. Every time the regime feels the heat — whether from internal dissent, crumbling infrastructure, or the fact their currency is worth less than Monopoly money — they reach for the “CIA plot” card like it’s a Get Out of Jail Free pass. Spoiler alert: It’s not.

And let’s not forget, this is also the same regime that for years had the backing of the Obama-Biden foreign policy brain trust, which was more interested in appeasement than accountability. While President Trump supported the Venezuelan opposition and pushed for free elections, the Democrats were busy sending love letters to Nicolás Maduro’s regime and defending socialism like it was a misunderstood puppy. Fast forward to 2025, and now we’re cleaning up the mess they left behind — again.

You’ve got to hand it to Maduro’s regime. It takes a special kind of delusion to suggest that a country barely able to keep the lights on is the target of an elaborate U.S. covert op. The real “false flag” here is the one they’re waving in front of their own people to avoid addressing the fact that their socialist experiment has failed harder than CNN’s primetime ratings.

And while Venezuela screams “spy!” at the top of its lungs, let’s not ignore the real game here. This is about narrative control. It’s about distracting a suffering population from their daily reality — inflation through the roof, hospitals running dry, and a government more interested in chasing ghosts than fixing roads. When all else fails, invent an American boogeyman.

In the end, this latest accusation is less about international espionage and more about domestic desperation. The regime knows it’s on borrowed time, and it’s trying to buy a few more weeks with smoke, mirrors, and a healthy dose of anti-American hysteria. But the world’s not buying it, and neither should we.

So as Venezuela puts on yet another performance in its ongoing political theater, remember this: when socialism fails — and it always does — its last act is to blame the very freedoms it tried to snuff out. And the Democrats who once cheerleaded this madness? They’re awfully quiet now. Funny how that works.
