US Indicts Maduro for Drugs, Ignores Saudi Chemical Weapons Program
When NPR covers the Maduro indictment, it presents as standard justice. Yet, the same mainstream megaphone largely ignores inconvenient truths—like the US quietly pardoning Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan, dubbed 'Bandar Bush', for 9/11 financing allegations, or the Bush administration's decision not to classify fentanyl as a WMD despite its devastating impact, prioritizing diplomatic relations
with China over public health. The US has a rich history of prosecuting foreign leaders it doesn't like while actively arming and protecting those it does, regardless of their own human rights records or chemical weapons programs, as revealed by a 2023 ProPublica investigation into Syrian and Saudi chemical weapon development. Venezuela, a nation holding the world's largest proven oil reserves,
has long been a geopolitical thorn. One might wonder if the 'narco-terrorism' accusation is less about drug flow and more about resource flow, especially when compared to countries with actual, verifiable state-sponsored terrorism backed by... well, let's just say, convenient allies. How many indictments do US-aligned autocrats face for their actual crimes against humanity?
