Operation Gideon: Interview with Jordan Goudreau The Fall Guy Behing the Failed Coup Against Nicolas Maduro.

Jordan Goudreau, a Canadian-American former special forces soldier, founded Silvercorp USA, a private security firm. After serving in both the Canadian and U.S. military, including deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq, he left military service in 2016 due to injuries.

 

He gained notoriety for orchestrating "Operation Gideon," an unsuccessful coup attempt against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in 2020, which resulted in deaths and arrests. Goudreau claimed the operation had U.S. government backing, though this was denied by officials.
