As I write this, our journalists Alexa Lavoie and Efron Monsanto are on their way to Miami to cover the stunning news of the U.S. midnight raid that snatched Venezuela’s dictator, Nicolas Maduro, right out of his presidential palace.

I want Alexa and Efron to go to the heart of Little Havana in Miami and talk with the exiled Venezuelans who are now brimming with joy and hope for their homeland, now that the tyrant has been removed. And it’s not just Venezuelans: Venezuela was an essential source of oil for the Communist regime in Cuba, and an important toe-hold for Russia, China and even Iran.

In one fell swoop — in a nearly bloodless raid — Trump decapitated the regime and has paved the way for freedom and democracy to expand throughout Latin America.

This raid will continue to ripple throughout the region, and the world. Alexa and Efron should be landing any time now and starting their reports — I get the feeling they’re going to be up really late tonight, as the Venezuelans and Cubans celebrate into the wee hours!

By the way, don’t be persuaded by those who say this was an illegal raid. Every international election observer concluded that Maduro stole the last vote. Those talking about “international law” are simply wrong — a cartel boss doesn’t suddenly get immunity because he rigs an election.

I see all sorts of Canadian journalists and politicians condemning the raid, even as Venezuelans both in Venezuela and around the world are in triumphant joy. I know whose side I’m on! Please help me get the word out from the point of view of ordinary Venezuelans who are thrilled to have some hope and freedom again. 

If you can help me cover the cost of their economy-class airfare, please do by clicking here (thanks).

And make sure to visit the website www.VenezuelaIsFree.com to get the latest from Alexa and Efron — they’ll be posting videos there tonight and tomorrow, and maybe longer!

Canada is way too chummy with dictators, whether it’s Cuba, the ayatollahs of Iran or Communist China. It’s amazing to watch Trump use the military might of the United States to actually liberate a country without a war. But enough from me: let’s hear from the Venezuelans directly.

Please visit www.VenezuelaIsFree.com to hear from the exile community in Miami directly. And if you can help us cover the $3,000 or so this journalistic mission will cost us, please do — you can chip in right from that same website. (Thanks.)

Help Fund Our Reporting on the Liberation of Venezuela

Rebel News is sending two journalists to fly down to cover this story from the point of view of the Venezuelan exiles living in Miami. They were surprised by this miraculous removal of the tyrant, someone who had haunted them and until now seemed impossible to remove. But after this morning’s surgical strike, everything feels possible again to them.

If you think it’s important to hear the other side of the story — directly from the mouths of people who had to flee Maduro’s atrocities — please consider chipping in a few dollars to cover the costs of our economy-class airfare to Miami, and our modest hotel.

Between the two of us, we expect our expenses to be $3,000. Unlike the CBC — who loved Maduro, and hate Trump — we get no government money; we’re 100% viewer-supported!
