By any honest measure, the collapse of a dictator’s grip is a historic moment. In the Spanish-speaking world, the reaction to Venezuela’s turn has been raw, emotional, and jubilant. Families who fled hunger and repression are celebrating. Dissidents who risked prison are exhaling. For millions across Latin America, the downfall of a regime synonymous with misery is being marked like New Year’s Eve.
And yet right on cue America’s outrage economy went to work.
Within minutes, Candace Owens reframed Venezuela’s liberation into an Israel centric conspiracy, declaring that “Zionists cheer every regime change” because they “steal land, oil and other resources.” It was a breathtaking pivot. A dictator falls, and somehow the villain is Israel. Not corruption. Not tyranny. Not the architects of a failed socialist experiment. Israel.
Venezuela has been “liberated” like Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq were “liberated”.
The CIA has staged another hostile takeover of a country at the behest of a globalist psychopaths.
That’s it. That’s what is happening, always, everywhere. Zionists cheer every regime change.… https://t.co/F60ouK7qAr

This is the classic armchair radical move. Luxuriate in the safety of the United States while smearing those who actually fought and bled for freedom. It is easy to sneer from a podcast studio. It is harder to stand in the streets of Caracas when the secret police are watching.
The reaction abroad makes the contrast stark. In Latin communities, there is relief and celebration. Among activists who spent years opposing the regime, there is pride. But in the influencer class, there is rage. Not because a dictator fell, but because the spotlight is not on them.
Owens’ meltdown reads less like principled skepticism and more like wounded narcissism. This was not about Venezuela to begin with. It was about losing attention. About a Trump win that did not center her, did not validate her ongoing click driven theatrics, and did not advance her latest grift. When history refuses to revolve around a pundit, the conspiracy wheel starts spinning.
And she was not alone.
Not to be outdone, Cenk Uygur jumped on the same bandwagon, arguing that Donald Trump was “acting like Hillary Clinton at her neocon peak,” accusing the administration of “bombing all over the planet (Nigeria, Somalia, Venezuela)” and sneering, “Why do we have to fight all of Israel’s wars?” The message was unmistakable. If America confronts authoritarianism, Israel must be pulling the strings.
I agree with Steve Bannon that Trump is acting like Hillary Clinton at her neocon peak. Bombing all over the planet (Nigeria, Somalia, Venezuela) and going back into Iran for regime change is completely neocon/establishment behavior. Why do we have to fight all of Israel’s wars?

This reflex is as old as it is ugly. When dictators fall and democracies act, blame Israel. When protesters rise, blame Zionists. When facts get inconvenient, reach for the dog whistle. It is predictable, and it is poisonous.
Let’s be clear about what actually happened. Venezuela did not implode because of Israel. It collapsed under the weight of its own corruption, brutality, and economic malpractice lewd by Maduro. Venezuelans, who could afford to leave, did not do so because of Mossad fantasies. They left because their children were hungry and their votes were stolen. To hijack that struggle for an ideological vendetta is not analysis. It is exploitation.
The irony is rich. Those who style themselves as anti imperialists have no problem erasing Latin voices to advance a narrative that flatters their own brand. Freedom fighters become props. A nation’s pain becomes content.
So yes, Venezuela is being celebrated tonight from Miami to Madrid, Bogotá to Buenos Aires. A chapter of tyranny has closed. And that should be enough.
If some pundits are furious, it is not because justice was denied. It is because justice did not ask for their permission.
Pathetic. Predictable. And thankfully, irrelevant to history moving forward.
