After kidnapping Venezuela's President and First Lady, the Trump administration has struck a historic deal with Venezuela's unelected leadership that effectively grants it control over one fifth of the country's massive oil reserves. Economist Francisco Rodríguez tells The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal why he believes the deal represents "gunpoint diplomacy," with Venezuela's de facto President Delcy Rodríguez essentially gifting the US billions of barrels of crude in order to avoid the same fate as her predecessor. Conducted under the auspices of a corporation run by a Venezuelan oligarch facing multiple money laundering indictments abroad, with little transparency and absolute US control, Rodríguez describes the deal as an unprecedented sell-off of Venezuela's sovereignty that will open the floodgates of corruption.Francisco Rodríguez is a Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Economic and Policy Research and a Faculty Affiliate at the University of Denver’s Josef Korbel School of International Studies. He is the author of The Collapse of Venezuela: Scorched Earth Politics and Economic Decline, 2012-2020.

The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal is joined by American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee President Jenin Younes to discuss one of the most disturbing attempts to abuse the US legal system to criminalize pro-Palestine activism.In a case that Blumenthal describes as one of the most absurd and dangerous cases he's seen, a notorious Zionist agitator, Kammara Sumrall, filed a federal lawsuit against an older Palestinian woman, Janine Ali, for supposedly grabbing an Israeli flag she was wearing around her neck. Sumrall has accused Ali of targeting her because she was Jewish, alleging that the Israeli flag is, in fact, the "Jewish flag."In rejecting a motion to dismiss, a judge agreed with the Zionist militant, stating that the Israeli flag "symbolizes the Jewish race." Younes provides the shocking details behind the lawsuit against her client.

Lurking behind Trump aligned leaders such as Javier Milei, Daniel Noboa, Jair Bolsonaro, and Nayib Bukele are lesser known but highly influential operatives who dictate the course of events in their countries. Perhaps the most consequential of these figures is Fernando Cerimedo, a top advisor to the right-wing Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz, who’s known as MAGA’s man in Latin America.On August 18, Cerimedo was arrested and accused of masterminding an attack that would have killed his ex-girlfriend, the Bolivian lawyer Nadia Beller, who is pregnant.Beller miraculously survived four shots at point-blank range, and from her hospital bed, in a desperate bid to avoid being murdered, she denounced Cerimedo.The Grayzone reports on how Cerimedo's testimony exposes much more than her ex's lethal intentions. Beller reveals an entire network of CIA assets manipulating Latin American politics on behalf of Trump's Washington, and explains how a deluge of dark money has corrupted the continent's politics, shattering national sovereignty and enabling the plunder of all nations now under US control.
