Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST.

Today we discuss the ultimate holiday weekend media dump: the overthrow of a sovereign head of state of a country most voters can’t find on a map.

• Regime change against Venezuela: President Maduro kidnapped, VP less compliant than Trump hoped, Trump says he wants to steal the nation’s oil. Will the UN, Congress, Europe or the Democrats prove less useless than usual? John and Ted explain what’s happening and predict what’s next.

• Never too many new wars: Trump threatens to attack Greenland, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico and Iran. Which threats are real? Will Congress insist on its war powers, or impeach the president?

• AI psyops are go: Images of Maduro in custody and of Venezuelans celebrating in the street have been debunked as fake, but does it matter? Oh, and Russia is jealous of Trump’s “special military operation.”
