In January 2026, The Listening Post reported on the alleged U.S. involvement in Venezuela. According to the report, the U.S. government, with the assistance of mainstream media, manufactured consent for military intervention, culminating in the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Maduro was reportedly taken to a prison in New York City. The report claims the Trump administration shifted its narrative from combating a "narco-state" to seizing control of Venezuela's oil reserves. The report also briefly touches on protests in Iran and an interview with Jose Luis Granados Ceja about deciphering news from Venezuela.
