On January 3, 2026, U.S. special operations forces grabbed Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro in a pre-dawn raid, flew him out of Caracas, and delivered him into federal custody in New York to face long-standing narco-terrorism charges. He is now sitting in a U.S. detention center, preparing to stand trial in Manhattan, in one of the most extraordinary cases ever brought against a foreign head of state.

In this episode, We walk through how a sealed indictment, a record-breaking bounty, and years of quiet planning led to the moment American operators took down a sitting president. Then we follow the chain outward: why Venezuela’s oil, cocaine routes, and criminal networks made Maduro more than just another authoritarian on Washington’s enemies list, and how this move echoes the takedown of Manuel Noriega in 1989.

From there, we dig into the geopolitical shadow around the raid: Iran and Russia tightening ties with Caracas, the fear of hostile bases and proxy networks in America’s backyard, and why some inside the system saw Maduro less as a regional problem and more as a future launchpad for something bigger. Finally, we ask the uncomfortable question no one in the press conference will touch: was this simply justice catching up with a corrupt leader, or the opening move in a much longer campaign the public hasn’t been told about yet?

What if the most important NASA UFO photo in history was never meant for the public? In this episode of Zero Signal, David and Jay dive into The Simpkinson NASA UFO with historian and rare document specialist Ed Wilson. He explains how a forgotten Gemini 11 lithograph from NASA engineer Scott Simkinson’s personal archive appears to show a classic flying saucer—and how it ties directly into official Gemini 11 Hasselblad photos, hidden RCA D-15 film, and a mysterious image buried in a once-classified mission report. We get into cloud-pattern forensics, missing mission audio, CIA-controlled photo pipelines, the question of alien-derived technology, and why the public has only ever seen sanitized, third-generation NASA images. If you’re into NASA history, UFOs/UAPs, Cold War secrecy, or the idea that the real story is buried in the archives, hit follow and tap in to hear the case Ed has taken to Congress and what he’s bringing next to the History Channel.

On Christmas Eve 1914, in the middle of World War 1, the guns on the Western Front suddenly went silent—and German and British soldiers climbed out of their trenches, lit candles, sang “Silent Night,” buried their dead together and played football in No Man’s Land. In this Christmas special of Zero Signal, we dive into the strange, almost unbelievable story of the Christmas Truce of 1914, ask why this moment of spontaneous peace between “enemies” was quickly buried by the war machine, and explore the darker conspiracy of how propaganda depends on you never seeing your enemy as human.
