Mali and Burkina Faso banned Americans a few days ago. What with Maduro’s kidnapping, it looks like that decision payed off in more ways than they might have anticipated!

There was also a US spy in Maduro’s entourage from what I hear, so totally reasonable.
Seems that’s a PsyOp for now. Be very skeptical of these kinds of claims for the next while, better information will come out confirming or denying it.
Maybe, I heard it on this NYT podcast The Daily.

Yea, if it’s from the NYT 99% it’s a psyop.
Tbf I really don’t trust any corporate MSM, regardless whether USA or any place else. In fact I’m just about beyond trusting any media, for that matter. None of us knows Jack Smack, unless we get it from each other on the ground in the area, and that’s filtered through a personal perception, complete with our own blind spots. But I’ll give it a listen later.
It’s good to distrust, but ultimately we need to develop media literacy and dive into the media to find out what’s actually going on. A lot of news is either minimizing or exaggerating real events, so there is usually some truth (though not always, like I think with the NYT bit here).
I appreciate that, and agree there’s usually some kernel of truth, and we’ve already been so incorrect. The sociopaths have adapted, and we have to adapt too.
If you have a link I’d appreciate it, please and thanks.

I think it starts around the 4 minute mark where they talk about the CIA having a spy/informant.
Why share the crap info from a crap source which someone has already pointed out is likely a psyop? Especially after neglecting to engage with that comment. Irresponsible.
Thanks, I’ll listen later on.
