The arrest of ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro shocked the entire world, but the surprising thing is that this development was predicted five days in advance. This prediction was made by a group of psychics in Lima, the capital of Peru, about 4000 kilometers away from Venezuela. Astrologers had claimed that Maduro would be removed from power and US President Donald Trump would play an important role in this.

Maduro arrested in military operation
In a military operation late Saturday night, Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were detained from their residence in a military base in Caracas. Both have been taken to America. In America, he faces serious charges related to drug smuggling and narco-terrorism. The Venezuelan government has termed this action as ‘imperialist’.

The prophecy was made on the coast of Peru
A few days before Maduro’s arrest, on December 29, a group of occultists gathered on the beach in the Peruvian capital Lima. In this traditional ritual that takes place every year, they predict the events of the coming year. The Tantriks discussed international politics, wars and the future of big leaders.

‘Trump will remove Maduro’
In this ritual, a special prediction was made about 63-year-old Maduro. Tantrik Ana Maria Simeone had said that Maduro would leave power and US President Donald Trump would play an important role in his departure. He had said that he has seen this scene, this incident will definitely happen next year.

talk of running away proved wrong
However, the predictions of the Tantrikas did not turn out to be completely correct. He had said that Maduro would escape arrest and leave the country. The occultist Juan de Dios Garcia had claimed that Maduro would not be caught. But in reality both Maduro and his wife were arrested.

Ukraine also claims the war is over
In this ritual the Tantrikas had also predicted the Ukraine war. He said that this conflict would end and the flag of peace would be hoisted. However, even before this, Tantrik has made such predictions regarding the Ukraine war, which did not prove to be correct.

Mixed record of predictions
These Tantrikas of Lima perform this ritual every year in December. The record of his predictions has been mixed. He had said that the Ukraine war would end in 2023, which did not come true. Last year he had warned of a nuclear war between Israel and Gaza, even though there is currently a ceasefire there.

The prediction of Fujimori’s death turned out to be correct
However, in December 2023, psychics had predicted the death of former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori, which proved correct. Fujimori, who was jailed in cases of human rights violations, died of cancer in September 2024.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated on Sunday (January 04, 2026) that the US will not play any role in the day-to-day governance of Venezuela other than enforcing the oil blockade. This statement has come at a time when President Donald Trump had announced a day earlier that America will take over the governance of Venezuela after removing President Nicolas Maduro from power.

Trump’s statement changed the tone
President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the US will ‘run’ Venezuela for the time being and its role will continue there until a safe and orderly transition of power. After his statement, questions started being raised at the international level whether America was going to directly take over the administration of Venezuela.

cleaning of rubies
Amidst these apprehensions, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio explained Trump’s statement differently. He said that America does not intend to rule Venezuela. According to Rubio, Trump did not mean direct control, but creating pressure so that changes could be brought there.

Oil blockade will continue
Rubio made it clear that America will continue the oil blockade against Venezuela. He said that action against banned oil tankers and their seizure is the biggest means of pressure available to America. Through this pressure, policy changes are being expected from the new government of Venezuela.

America also keeps an eye on drug smuggling
The US Secretary of State said that America wants the Venezuelan oil industry to work in the interest of the people of the country. Along with this, he also described stopping drug smuggling as a big objective. Rubio said that pressure will remain on these issues until concrete changes are made.

America’s interests first
Rubio also said that America will take every step keeping in mind its national interests. He told that the future policy will be decided based on the performance of the people who are currently in power in Venezuela.

Position unclear on military role
Rubio said America’s current military presence is enough to stop drug smuggling and contraband ships. However, he also indicated that other options can be considered if needed.

Situation after Maduro’s arrest
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were detained in a special operation at a military base in Caracas. Both have been brought to America, where they have been charged with serious charges of drug smuggling and conspiracy. The Venezuelan government has called this action an imperialist step.

Appearance in New York court
Nicolas Maduro will appear in New York federal court on Monday. US prosecutors say Maduro’s government has been corrupt and illegal and has been involved in activities related to drug trafficking.

After assuming power, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly reflected in his decisions that he is a businessman and his policies are based on this. Trade, profit and control over resources have been at the top of the Trump administration’s policies. In this series, Venezuela is also being considered a victim of this thinking of Trump. Experts say that the country’s vast natural resources are a major reason behind American strictness and military action on Venezuela.

the biggest treasure of oil
Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves. According to statistics, there are about 303 billion barrels of crude oil present in the country. In this matter, Venezuela is at first place and Saudi Arabia (267 billion barrels) is at second place. America has been eyeing this oil for a long time, especially when Venezuela’s oil infrastructure has become weak.

large coal reserves
Venezuela has reserves of more than 10 billion tons of coal. It contains a large amount of bituminous coal, which is considered important for electricity and industry. It is the third largest coal producing country in Latin America after Venezuela, Colombia and Brazil.

strength of iron and bauxite
Venezuela has reserves of 4.1 billion tonnes of high quality iron, which includes it among the top 10-12 countries in the world. Apart from this, Venezuela also has a large amount of bauxite, which is necessary for aluminum production. In this field, Venezuela is counted among the top 15 countries of the world.

Orinoco area became a gold mine
The Orinoco Mining Arc region of Venezuela is said to have huge reserves of gold. According to government claims, more than 8,000 tonnes of gold is present here. It is one of the largest gold reserves in Latin America, although illegal mining also remains a big problem here.

Politics being seen from business perspective
Experts believe that the Trump administration is viewing Venezuela not just as a political crisis but as a big business opportunity. Venezuela, rich in oil, gold and mineral resources, fits into Trump’s ‘Business First’ policy.

After the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, the video that surfaced from New York has caught the attention of the world. The US military arrested Nicolas Maduro and brought him to New York, where he is being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), located at the headquarters of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in Brooklyn. While being taken into custody, a video of Maduro is going viral, in which he is seen saying ‘Happy New Year’ and ‘Good Night’.

Complete ‘parade’ from airbase to DEA office
The US Army videotaped the entire process of landing Maduro at an airbase in New York and taking him to the DEA headquarters. The White House’s Rapid Response 47 team released these videos on social media, which are being seen all over the world.

Maduro seen in handcuffs, wearing a black hoodie
The video from inside the DEA office in Manhattan has been posted on the social media platform X. In this, 63-year-old Maduro is seen wearing handcuffs and a black hooded sweatshirt. He was seen walking in a corridor covered with blue carpet with ‘DEA NYD’ written on it. Here he was seen saying ‘Good Night, Happy New Year’ to the officers.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump had shared a picture of Maduro on Saturday evening, in which he was blindfolded and handcuffed.

Home arrest in Caracas
The US Army carried out an airstrike on Venezuela in the early hours of Saturday. Meanwhile, Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, who were sleeping at their residence in the Fort Tiuna military complex in the capital Caracas, were taken into custody by American soldiers.

Allegations of cocaine smuggling and narco-terrorism
America has accused Maduro of serious allegations of cocaine smuggling, promoting narco-terrorism and rigging in elections. On the basis of these allegations, America planned a change of power in Venezuela. The US Army had surrounded Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea before the action. The US had asked Maduro to step down from power and leave the country, but after his refusal, airstrikes were conducted and he was finally arrested from his home.
