A criminal cartel has taken over my country, and its reach now extends into the United States. Anyone who believes this is ‘just another authoritarian regime’ is dangerously mistaken. This is organized crime in power, armed and bankrolled by America’s enemies.
Maria Corina Machado (Venezuelan and Nobel Peace Prize winner)
Every American patriot should heed two truths made public in the last two months. One, America’s enemies have set up shop just south of the US border and partnered with Latino criminal cartels. Two, those enemies have sown the seeds of discontent in our youth to create protest movements that destabilize and weaken our nation.
The Axis of Evil Draws Nigh
The first truth comes from Venezuela’s rightful-leader-in-exile, courtesy of the New York Post. Maria Machado warns that the U.S. is being targeted directly by the evil confederacy of Maduro’s Venezuela, Castro’s Cuba, Colombian guerrillas, Iran, and Russia. It is financed by billions from China to attack America asymmetrically through “weaponized migration” that inserts criminal gangs, smuggles narcotics, spreads disinformation, pays lobbyists, and destabilizes cities. Her country has, in fact, ceded territory to Iran’s operatives, providing them with “a safe haven just hours from American shores.”
The Tactics of Evil Within
The second truth comes from a former Cuban intelligence officer, now living in exile, who spoke to Just The News’ John Solomon on condition of anonymity. That evil confederacy is waging a “destabilization campaign” that targets America’s “education system” as evidenced by the madness at Columbia, Harvard and Penn. He cited “five principles of warfare” behind the campaign that come right out of the Marxist playbook he learned as a Cuban spymaster.
Those five principles, which are described below, guide the Cartel de los Soles’ (Madura’s name for this new “axis of evil”) subversion of America’s educational system – you’’ll probably recognize all five from events that we’ve witnessed over the last five years in our country:
One – It’s easier to change a young mind than an older mind. Why did pro-Hamas demonstrations break out at Columbia, but not at your local VFW lodge? Probably because radicalism does not age well. Only 15% of Baby Boomers today, many of whom sympathized with North Vietnam in the 60s, hold a favorable view of socialism, compared to 62% of Americans aged 18-29 (source: YouGov). It’s the Soviet and Chinese communist playbook; cultivate loyalty to one’s ideology by implementing systematic indoctrination of children.
Two – It’s easier to create confusion after normalizing the abnormal. Why do school boards look confused in those videos streaming on social media? Maybe because it’s easier to claim confusion than admit cowardice. They see polls showing 80% of Americans oppose biological males competing in girls sports, but hear teachers unions argue for the “rights” of transgenders (to make girls uncompetitive in “girls” sports). The architects of mass deception – like the Nazis – normalize abnormal gradually; from winning a few local elections and friendly media outlets, to gaining political clout and cancelling opposing voices. Sound familiar?
Three – It’s easier to create instability after sowing division. Why did America First campaign against DEI policies and CRT programs? Because identity politics had gone too far. What began annoyingly with Democrats turning aggrieved minorities into election victories became anti-American when that coalition was pitted against racial, religious, and social majorities. Grade schools making “oppressors” of white kids, universities allowing Jews to become targets of violence, and companies putting white men on “do not hire” lists are threats to the Great American Melting Pot (the world’s most diverse nation). That the few benefit at the expense of the many is the real threat to our democracy.
Four – It’s easier to tear down a democratic Western society after portraying law and order as fascism. Why have left-liberals re-branded ICE the Gestapo and the President a fascist? No question, to demonize the GOP into mid-term defeats. However, their words undermine our “nation of laws” and the agencies that secure our homeland against the Islamic terrorists and Latino crime cartels; i.e. the enemies of which Maria Machado warned.
Five – It’s easier to advance Marxism after creating a crisis. An old Cuban spymaster would know. “Crisis is the key. You have to keep creating another crisis to create a sense that your country is falling apart.” Which is exactly how the anti-ICE demonstrations are portrayed by left-liberal politicians and pundits, with the blame squared directly at President Trump (whom Democrats branded as “the greatest threat to our democracy”).
The Clear and Present Danger
The words of Machado and the former Cuban intelligence officer support the clear and present danger that has Elon Musk on high alert. “The radical left has been using fraudulent government programs to import and retain vast numbers of illegal immigrants to win elections and turn America into a single-party state, destroying any real democracy. The most obvious example is the Somali voting bloc in Minnesota, a state that historically had zero Somalis, electing Ilhan Omar to the US Congress“ (source: Twitter X).
And there you have it. A Nobel Laureate identifying a criminal co-op in our own hemisphere, an RFK Journalism Award winner describing that co-op’s destabilizing tactics, the world’s most consequential visionary describing the hazards of our inaction against those tactics, and the primary whistle blower (Trump) impeached twice and indicted four times (with 88 criminal counts). As far as conspiracy theories go, this one’s not so easily dismissed…
…not after 8,814 arrests of “criminal illegal aliens” in 2025 (source: USCBP). Or after 30 drug-smuggling vessels were identified and destroyed by the US military this fall (source: The Washington Post). Not after 92 Somali immigrants were recently charged in Minnesota in connection with wide-spread government fraud schemes (source: The New York Times). Or after Fulton County recently admitted to Georgia’s election board that over 130 tabulator tapes from the 2020 election were not signed, a lapse involving over 315,000 ballots (source: Newsweek).
Even more frightening is how Democrats reflexively – as if scripted – dismiss these threats to our domestic tranquility, national treasure, and election integrity, especially considering their alleged roles in these illegal activities. America has always believed two oceans made it impenetrable. Sadly, those days are long gone, and the fox is almost certainly in the hen house.
