📍A decorated U.S. Air Force general with decades of combat leadership was taken down—not for failure, but for defying a system that turned against him. In this episode, Brig. Gen. Chris Sage explains how battlefield judgment, morale, and mission success were later punished by bureaucracy and politics. This is not just one man’s story—it exposes a precedent that affects who is allowed to lead in the U.S. military. The stakes are simple and severe: when systems override commanders after the fact, speed, trust, and readiness collapse. What’s at risk is the future of leadership in war.

📍EM Burlingame breaks down why Venezuela is not a regional crisis — but the first strategic move in a much larger global power operation now underway.

This conversation goes far beyond oil, elections, or headlines.

According to Burlingame, what just unfolded in Venezuela fits a long-running geopolitical pattern involving:

• shadow power networks
• regime change operations
• color revolutions
• proxy governments
• strategic positioning for future global conflict
• and the restructuring of world power itself

You’ll hear why Venezuela is being framed as “Step One” on what Burlingame describes as a global chessboard — and what that implies about what comes next.

📍Rick de la Torre, former Chief of Station in Venezuela, joins David Rutherford to expose the hidden intelligence networks, communist expansion, and foreign power operations that turned Venezuela into a criminal state — and a global launchpad for America’s enemies.

From Cuban intelligence control of Maduro, to Russia, China, Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah using Venezuela as a base, this conversation reveals the real shadow war shaping the Western Hemisphere.

Rick explains:
• How Cuba actually runs Venezuela
• Why communism resurged across Latin America
• How oil became a weapon of global power
• Why the U.S. lost focus on the hemisphere
• And why a new geopolitical shift is underway right now
