Diane Sare issued the following statement today:
In the wee hours of January 3, 2026, my government, the Government of the United States of America, launched an invasion of a sovereign nation to forcibly kidnap its leader. The President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife were captured by American soldiers in an early morning raid and placed onboard a ship that is ostensibly headed to the Southern District of New York, where, according to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, the couple has “been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns [sic] and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy To Possess Machineguns [sic] and Destructive Devices against the United States.”
Let me state unequivocally that everything about this action stands in violation of international law, the UN Charter, and, crucially for the American people, in violation of our own U.S. Constitution. It also violates the principles expressed in the American Declaration of Independence, which itemizes a “long train of abuses” perpetrated against the New England colonies by the British Empire—abuses that we ourselves have now just committed with this illegal action against the people and the nation of Venezuela.
Unless our nation dramatically changes course and returns to the principles expressed by John Quincy Adams in his July 4, 1821, Address to the Congress, we and our republic shall cease to exist in recognizable form well before the July 4, 2026, 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. The United States is a powerful nation. If that power is deployed under the lawless doctrine expressed in the recently released National Security Strategy, our nation will not merely harm itself, but like the suicidal killer on the rooftop, our nation can become a threat to billions of innocent people across the planet as a whole.
Why I Am Qualified
Before stating what I believe is behind this mad “Security Strategy” and what we must do about it, I will address the question many of you are probably asking: “What makes you any more qualified to lead this nation than the terrible Presidents and candidates we have had in the last decades, and why should anyone trust you?”
My qualification to hold the highest office in the land doesn’t come from a worthless piece of paper from an “Ivory Tower” institution, but from my own morality and courage, as evidenced by my decades-long association with America’s greatest statesman and presidential figure, Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
It was LaRouche’s profound understanding of the significance of the defeat of the British Empire by the United States of America, and his brilliant success as an economic forecaster, based on his understanding of the principles of American System economics, that compelled me to support his policies, and to study the seminal writings of our Founding Fathers, especially including the policy statements of our first Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton that dealt with topics of public credit, national banking, and manufactures.
When LaRouche was railroaded into prison as a result of a decades-long political witch hunt coordinated by Wall Street and the City of London, which colluded with rogue elements of American intelligence agencies, the news media, and subversive organizations like the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, I refused to be cowed into submission. I chose to dedicate my life to defeating the last vestiges of the colonial empire and restoring my nation, the United States, to its intended role as a defender of the sovereign rights of people and nations across the globe, not through military force, but through economic partnership and mutually beneficial economic development.
I will never sell you out.
The Problem We Face
The unmentionable crisis behind the military agenda of the West is that the transatlantic financial and monetary system is hopelessly doomed. It is not merely that the United States government is approximately $40 trillion in debt and the American people are carrying unsustainable loads of personal debt, but that the City of London and Wall Street are the owners of a multi-quadrillion-dollar bubble of derivatives obligations that cannot be sustained. In just the last weeks of 2025, the Federal Reserve pumped over $74 billion into the financial system. NATO countries are selling weapons to Ukraine and Israel that will not even be produced until five years or more from now, necessitating the continuation of genocidal conflicts from the standpoint of the stakeholders and the speculators.
On top of this, the current occupant of the White House, President Donald Trump, has been ill-served by ambitious, lying cabinet members like Secretary of State “Narco” Rubio and Soros-man Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, among others, and appears to be unwilling or unable to uphold his stated commitment to end forever wars.
While President Trump is failing, his politicized “Russia-Russia-Russia” Democratic and Republican Party neocon and neoliberal opponents may seize upon the illegal Venezuela actions to initiate impeachment proceedings, which in a sane Congress might bring relief, but in the hands of the current Congress would more likely serve to plunge us into devastating war with Russia or China or both.
