This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.
But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

A very long and important THREAD -
The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

Maduro was a corrupt leader
But Trump does not have the right to “run” Venezuela - a serious violation of international law. He does not have the right to take our country into war.
60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Trump should address the needs of the American people.

Just a reminder that Schumer is who the democrats chose as their leader, not a single senator has called for him to step down, and if a single senator did so and defied Chuck’s orders, that would almost certainly be the end of his leadership.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Manhattan. A significant cohort of cops are trailing anti war protesters. Upwards of 30 police vehicles are visible following the marchers. Police will always have other vehicles in the area too. (What I saw and counted.) As well as aerial assets, helicopters and, often, drones live-streaming to HQ.
