Daily Chronicles

In a landmark joint statement, the six Ibero-American countries expressed their “deep concern and rejection” of unilateral military operations on Venezuelan territory, defending sovereignty, international law and dialogue as the only path.

The story that the US tells is beginning to fall apart.

Venezuela commenting is still wall to wall. We will let it go to crystallize. George Galloway suggests that Nicolás Maduro and his wife in the courtroom are about to become icons .. international icons of freedom and resistance, and will show the sheer ugliness of today’s America. He suggests the person that will be on trial, will be Donald Trump (Caligula) and it will be imperialism, and tariffs and sanctions, the drive for war and exploitation.

The open and heinous mass killing in West Asia continues.

After the Venezuelan strike and kidnapping of Maduro and his wife, I’ve gathered some of Trump’s belicose comments on the 2nd Venezuela thread. 2nd Venezuela thread.

We’ve opened a 2nd thread.  This contains commentary .. Trump’s garbage, Russia commentary, everything external – https://sovereignista.com/2026/01/03/%e2%80%bc%ef%b8%8f-the-us-strikes-venezuela-2/
All updates internal to Venezuela so far on the first thread – https://sovereignista.com/2026/01/03/%e2%80%bc%ef%b8%8f-the-us-strikes-venezuela/.

Major statements, but not details are on Daily Chronicles.

Here is my statement although it is early days.

Trump put a target on the back of every American person. America is now in the same boat as zionist-israel. The world will now treat the US as a pariah state. Americans, those who are our friends, be very careful. You will be hunted and haunted, in your own country and in others. You have created a worldwide enemy, and Trump will be called ‘bitch’ as he is being called in my neck of the woods, forever. You have created a persistent resistance, and Trump and his war-hungry lying cotery made it personal.  Retaliation will not be diplomatic.

Multiple reports of fighter jet activity over Caracas, Venezuela, with explosions pouring in now, just after 1 am Eastern.  Smoke plumes are emitting from Fort Tiuna and La Carlota airbase.  It is reported that 6 smoke columns are seen rising from the area at this time.  Unverified as yet, but the speculation is, of course, that a US invasion or attempt at decapitation strike is underway.  US CH-47 Chinook helicopters are reported to be flying near the location of the strikes.  Air raid sirens are blaring and there is a blackout.

Reuters reports that southern regions of Caracas have been de-energized by airstrikes!

Airstrikes were reported against the La Guaira naval base in Vargas, northern Venezuela, the home of Venezuela’s Naval Academy.

Venezuelan Su-30 Flanker fighter jets have lifted off from Aragua state, Venezuela.  All personnel of the Base Aérea Libertador are being called. Citizens of Maracay report the ignition of several aircraft (possibly the F-16s).

RT’s Venezuelan correspondent has just confirmed.  Venezuelan local media has confirmed.  Video is pouring in.

It is difficult to assess what is going on on the ground in Iran. There are major psywars obscuring reality. It looks at this stage as if the economic protests are reducing. The psywar and disinfo consists of old movies of old riots renewed, all US neocon warmongers on the job of shouting for war (“Happy New Year to every Iranian in the streets. Also to every MOSSAD AGENT walking beside them…” — Mike Pompeo, CIA Director). Netanyahu is out of control and pretending that he gives orders to the US (which he probably does according to Col Macgregor). Trump is visibly unable to exert control even if he wanted to, and writes illucid rage bait posts all night long. It is an open question how insistent the riots are and if they are dying down.

It is as if the water cannons of pressure on Venezuela overnight were changed directionally to now point at Iran.

The economic protesters are literally now trying to get the rioters off the streets. Nima is there currently and he says that what the media portrays (msm and alt), is not what he observes or what the Iranians that he is interviewing, experience.

As much as ex-spies can be believed: “The reason Trump decided to bomb Iran was the Israelis said, for the first time, “If you don’t bomb Iran we’re going to use nuclear weapons.”

Now we wait to see if the shooting starts.

Moving on to another open secret:

🔹🔹🔹🔹

It is becoming an open secret from all reliable sources that the CIA planned and took part in the drone operation on Putin’s residence.

Why is Russia still talking to the US? Because they have to as both are nuclear states. Somebody has to have a steady hand. All the weapons there bristle with the possibility of carrying nuclear warheads. There is no reason for Russia to stop talking – in fact, that is the pragmatic way and not the emotional way.

China has just sent a special envoy to Venezuela. Envoy Qiu Xiaoqi has landed. Tomorrow meetings will commence.

Taking a measure of the Evolving Strategy of Empire, that I wrote around middle of 2025.

The strategy of empire, thus far, has been the denial of world development through chaos creation, and it is unravelling. Nevertheless, imperialist aspirations still endure and the fight is going to be until the bitter end.  The pattern has shifted toward attempts to utilize dwindling economic rights as a wedge for military intervention to expand the hegemonic stake through unrestricted warfare across all domains.

The pretense of peace lies irrevocably torn asunder, its remnants eclipsed by the unrelenting tide of violence that reigns without pause.

Balance is being restored, oh so slowly. The central Sovereign Civilizational States now have a clear definition: the magnificent duo of China and Russia, the plucky DPRK (North Korea), and meritorious Iran and we now add the resolute Venezuela.  We stand at a unique nexus point, a pivotal moment in our planet’s history. Other Sovereign States developing and becoming, willingly contribute and participate in the Great Endeavor: the definitive and definite end of the Western colonial/neo-colonial order.

The enemy is the system that needs an enemy, and even that —the existence of an enemy —is now being denied to the empire, in economic, military, and civilizational terms. Viva! The ongoing and resolute resistance exists in places like Sovereignista.com and and those we feature.

Despite our victories, and we now add our losses (Syria) we face an increasingly complex form of warfare, sometimes referred to as 5th Generation War.  In the 1999 book Unrestricted Warfare, by colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui of the People’s Liberation Army, they noted that in the years since the 1991 Gulf War, conventional military violence had decreased, which correlated to an increase in “political, economic, and technological violence”, which they argued could be more devastating than a conventional war.

We face an “omnipresent battlefield” with a mixture of kinetic and non-kinetic force.  This will only increase in ferocity into 2026.

The SMO continues apace – a faster pace.  We’ve not seen any Russian retaliation or change in negotiating stance for the attack on Putin’s house.  Patience, young grasshoppers, it will come.

In response to the terrorist attacks launched by Ukraine against civilian facilities in the Russian Federation from 27 December 2025 to 2 January 2026, the Russian Armed Forces carried out one massive and six group strikes with high-precision weapons, including Kinzhal hypersonic air-launched ballistic missiles. As the result were hit enterprises of the Ukrainian defence industry, energy facilities providing them with work, transport and port infrastructure used for the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, assembly centres for the production of missile engine components, sites where long-range attack drones are produced and prepared for launch, fuel and ammunition depots, as well as temporary deployment areas of Ukrainian armed formations and foreign mercenaries.

Go Marinera, Go!  

The tanker Bella 1, pursued by the U.S. Coast Guard, changed its status mid-voyage, became Russian, was renamed Marinera, and registered in Sochi. Russia has now officially demanded that the United States cease its pursuit.

According to The New York Times, citing its sources, the tanker Bella 1, which the U.S. Coast Guard previously attempted to detain off the coast of Venezuela, has for nearly two weeks been officially registered in Russia’s national vessel database under the new name Marinera.

Under international law, vessels sailing under a national flag are afforded the protection of that state. In this context, the Russian government has sent a formal diplomatic note demanding that the United States stop pursuing the oil tanker.

At present, Marinera is located in the North Atlantic and continues to move north at full speed. A former U.S. Treasury official responsible for sanctions enforcement suggested that the situation may be part of a broader Russian strategy to provide shelter for the so-called “shadow fleet”—vessels transporting sanctioned oil from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.

[Note, yes, for once this NYT may be correct.  The so-called shadow fleet, while overcoming sanctions, was a fine weapon, but now sanctions themselves must be faced.]

Trump is locked and loaded. He threatens Iran that he will ‘rescue’ them, how droll.

The current situation in Iran:  Demonstrations continue (albeit at a slower pace than in previous days) in Iranian cities, protesting the decline in purchasing power and the rising exchange rate of the dollar.  These difficult economic conditions stem from flawed domestic economic policies and crippling international sanctions.

This is what Iranian officials have stated in recent days, acknowledging the legitimacy of the popular demands and implementing some reform measures, which they are still working to achieve.  These demonstrations are, of course, being exploited by the Shah’s supporters in Iran, the “People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran” (MEK), and Western and Israeli intelligence agencies to inflame the situation. They are transforming economic demands into calls for the overthrow of the Iranian regime.

Furthermore, their media outlets are exacerbating the situation by disseminating old videos, insinuating fatalities, exaggerating the demonstrations, and inciting violence.

These protests again follow a predictable and well known process.  A valid societal problem that brings the shopkeepers into the streets, is now being blown up, in traditional destabilization form.

Jan 1

• We are entering a decisive year, and by the end of this year, we will have seen some of those changes that we have not seen in 100 years. Make no mistake, Presidents Putin and Xi Jinping are leading the charge.
• I remind you of Trump’s inauguration speech, and from memory, ‘we are an empire, and empires grow.’  The unhinged threats to all and sundry will continue, but the ability to carry them out is reducing.
• The imperialist forces are blocked in one direction or the other on all of their fronts, internal strife and economics included. Contradictions will only increase in force and in negative consequences for the US.
• We may see NATO even more dysfunctional, as it is a spent force, and the EU is losing to the point of implosion.
• We will see the end of the Ukraine SMO, or we will see an increased war via the EU, even though they are not in a position to do so.
• The drone strike on President Putin’s house is decisive for the Russians and is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Zakharova spoke prophetic words. The retaliation will not be diplomatic. All bets are off as we wait for the Russian retaliation, and this will be in more than one sphere.  Another straw was added last evening.
• We will see increased use of outside extremist military forces on all fronts and in all new destabilizations dreamed up by imperialist forces.
• We will see the end of the killings in Gaza, or we will see the Palestinians expelled to ‘Somaliland’. Israel is slowly rotting from within, and more Israelis are leaving than entering, so we have a net loss of Israeli citizens and economic endeavour.
• Depending on how strong Israel feels, we may see an imminent attack on Iran. Will the US participate? I think they will try, as Trump needs a win desperately.
• Venezuela is an open question. Trump knows that he played himself into a losing position, into a box where the US can only continue with small strikes, as his base is not with him, the world is in condemnation, and nobody expected the strength of the Venezuelan resistance. Go Bella 1, Go!
• The power of sanctions and tariffs is dissipating, and, as you will see in the next short report, everyone resists.
• Resistance will grow, and that will bring its own pain.

This is also a year of personal development.  I would caution against making big changes personally, but do make the necessary ones. It is a year of ‘Here be Dragons!

It is the year of charging on a red fire horse, and of finding joy in seeing flowers grow in the small cracks of the asphalt.  My heartfelt good wishes and thanks to all at sovereignista.com.  Eat healthy, exercise regularly, and take time for matters of the spirit and soul.

100 million deportations …

This is absolutely insane Nazi propaganda, posted by the US government.

It makes it clear that the Trump admin’s mass deportation drive is not actually about “illegal immigration”. There are estimated to be 14 million undocumented immigrants in the US. But the fascist DHS wants… https://t.co/s7jfqhlcwP pic.twitter.com/p40acn5laT

Japan may consider acquiring nuclear-powered submarines — PM

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stated Japan is not ruling out any option — including nuclear-powered submarines — to strengthen deterrence amid a deteriorating security environment.

“We are not ruling out any option, but the discussion is not being conducted for the sake of a predetermined conclusion, but for the sake of finding solutions necessary to increase Japan’s deterrence and response capabilities,” Takaichi said in an interview with the Yomiuri Shimbun.

The documents agreed to after the end of the 2nd World War prohibit Japan from re-arming.  Same with Germany.

Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud:

Our intelligence indicates that three steps have been agreed upon with Somaliland:

First, the resettlement of Palestinians in Somaliland.

Second, the provision of an Israeli military base on the Gulf of Aden coast.

Third, Somaliland’s accession to the Abraham Accords.

These are the three Israeli demands that Somaliland has accepted.

If these three are implemented, what will happen in the future?

The UAE is pressuring many African countries and promising them loans in exchange for recognition of ‘Somaliland’.

Russian MFA:  In the first hours of 2026, during the New Year celebrations, the Kiev regime committed yet another terrorist act against civilians in Russia’s regions.

For more than 70 residents, the New Year became a tragedy: the Neo-Nazis attacked a café and a hotel in the Kherson region of Russia using UAVs.

24 people were killed, over 50 were wounded, and have been hospitalized. Among those affected, six kids from the ages of 6 to 17, one child was killed.

There is literally zero doubt that the attack was preplanned, as the drones were directed to a place where civilians celebrated the New Year.

While Bibi is visiting Trump and they are whooping it up at parties, saving Christians, the Gaza Holocaust continues.

In West Asia, the mayhem and killing have not stopped for one moment.  To the contrary, the pace and number of atrocities have increased.

On Dec. 31, at the direction of Sec War Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on two vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes and engaged in narco-trafficking. A total of five narco-terrorists were killed during these actions – three in the first vessel and two in the second.

NOTE the change in language. It is not narco traffickers any longer, it is now Designated Terrorist Organizations.

We see you Killer Pete!

Medvedev on the overnight strike on the Kherson region

“More than 80 years ago, on March 22, 1943, fascist beasts and their accomplices burned Khatyn. And on New Year’s Eve in Kherson Region, in a similar manner, civilians were deliberately and brutally killed.

Savagery. Baseness. Cynicism. The vocabulary of a normal person is too poor to define the actions of these Banderite scum. Only the merciless language of retribution is suitable — inevitable and swift, carried out during our Army’s offensive.

It must affect both the degenerate perpetrators of this terrorist act and their various commanders. Enough with the niceties. Banderite bastards must be cut down like diseased pigs, wherever they are — in stinking Ukraine, in Europe, or at seaside resorts. As Konstantin Simonov wrote in his great poem: ‘Each time you see him, kill him.’”
