🕳️ Released Phantom Node 111: Nicolás Maduro. Hereditary Survival and the Rent Circuit
- Foundation date
09 January 2026
This project is a philosophical and artistic study of the phenomenon of "phantom nodes" — invisible yet influential objects and subjects in the contemporary global system. The descriptions contained within this study are metaphorical and allegorical, aimed at uncovering systemic problems, regimes, and civilisational influences. They are not a journalistic investigation or legal accusations, but serve as an artistic interpretation of reality.
Names are included because they appear in open international sources.

🕳️ Released Phantom Node 111: Nicolás Maduro. Hereditary Survival and the Rent Circuit
The beheaded hydra: when the head is gone, but the body still convulses.
Who is this?
Nicolás Maduro was the successor to Hugo Chávez and the central figure of Venezuela’s oil–narco state, integrated into Russia’s global resource ecosystem. His power rested on oil rents, military loyalty, and criminal logistics. For years, the regime functioned as a stable extraction pump for external proxies.
Type of node:
Political–resource, criminal-state
Status:
Decapitated, not dismantled
Form of control:
Oil and gold rents, military cartels, Russian proxy protection
Phantom image:
An empty throne wrapped in oil hoses
What remains after the phantom:
Fragmented bureaucracy, general-led enclaves, shadow contracts
Core of the node:
What sustained it?
Control over PDVSA, gold mining, the Cartel de los Soles, and Russia’s role as guarantor of impunity and rent export.
How did it become a phantom?
On January 3, 2026, the capture of Maduro by a U.S. special operation removed the system’s personal core, leaving behind a symbolic void.
Why does the phantom still exist?
Because of rent inertia, military fear, and Russian attempts to preserve control without a legitimate head.
Phantom’s condition:
High entropy, convulsive activity, territorial fragmentation
After the regime:
exposed transnational narco-oil schemes · uncovered PDVSA proxy networks · dismantled centralized rent control · criminalized military-cartel structures · audited resource flows · blocked shadow contracts · enabled reintegration of oil into legal markets · restored international oversight mechanisms
Collective reaction:
When a dictator falls, the world tests not the man—
but the system that fed him.
This one failed the test.
Core principle:
Dictatorships may survive sanctions, but they do not survive the loss of rent legitimacy.
Alt-text:
Graphite drawing of an empty throne entangled in torn oil hoses. A dictator’s cap lies abandoned on the seat. Shadows of Russian operatives flee with documents. Burning oil rigs and helicopters dominate the chaotic background.

🫧 Phantom Node Dossier 111: The Legacy of Maduro — Post-Extradition Collapse and the Ruins of the Rent-Seeking Circuit.
Key Aspects of the Phantom:
"The Decapitated Hydra Effect." As of January 2026, following the capture of Nicolás Maduro by U.S. Special Forces, this node has transformed from a "pump" into a high-entropy zone. The phantom nature lies in the frantic attempts of Russian handlers and the Venezuelan military elite (Cartel de los Soles) to hold onto oil fields and gold mines without a formal figurehead. This is the ultimate stress test where "hereditary survival" meets direct judicial intervention.
Regimes (Status: January 2026):
🚨 Reactive Liquidation Regime: The hasty destruction of archives and digital footprints detailing joint Russia-Venezuela drug trafficking and oil-money laundering operations.
🧨 Territorial Feudalization Regime: The collapse of unified state control into enclaves where local generals, backed by Russian PMCs, attempt to sell their loyalty or hold production sites by force.
📡 Agonizing Propaganda Regime: Efforts by Moscow and Havana to incite guerrilla warfare, using the image of a "kidnapped president" to destabilize Latin America.
Tools:
✈️ Exfiltration Corridors: Utilizing Russian state-owned aircraft to evacuate high-ranking regime officials and the remains of the gold reserves to Moscow and Tehran.
🛡️ Proxy Armies (Post-Wagner): Russian mercenaries barricaded at PDVSA facilities, using critical infrastructure as a hostage against the incoming security forces.
⚡ Cyber Sabotage: Attacks on power grids and state registries designed to buy time for the extraction of capital.
Civilizational Influences:
📉 Shattering of the "Russian Umbrella" Myth: A global signal to all dictators that Moscow's support does not guarantee physical safety against international justice.
📉 Disintegration of the Narco-State: A unique process of forced dismantling of an entire cartel-state, creating a vacuum in the world’s shadow economy.
🌍 New Energy Realignment: The return of Venezuelan oil to the legal market, radically undermining Russia’s position as a global energy manipulator.
