Featured Release: Dangerous Times-
The Americas Under the Shadows of Terror
This is the revised second edition of the groundbreaking work that first exposed the shadow networks reshaping the Americas. In this new version, Johan Obdola expands his analysis on narco-terrorism, state corruption, and the hybrid threats redefining security in our hemisphere.
Featured Release: THE BLACK BOOK OF THE REVOLUTION
The Black Book of the Revolution is not just another account of Venezuela’s tragedy—it is a classified dossier unsealed. Written with the precision of intelligence work and the urgency of witness, it reveals how a nation was deliberately transformed into the world’s first narco–terrorist state. From the barracks to the oil fields, from Havana to Tehran, from Andorra to Dubai, this book traces how crime, ideology, and corruption fused into a doctrine of criminal governance that now threatens far beyond Venezuela’s borders.
Drawing on decades of frontline experience, Johan Obdola dismantles the myths of “dialogue” and “neutrality” that enabled tyranny to metastasize. With over 18,000 extrajudicial killings, 11 million exiles, and the export of criminal franchises like the Tren de Aragua, the cost of global inaction is undeniable. This is not a regional crisis—it is a prototype of global collapse. The Black Book of the Revolution is both an indictment and a warning: silence is complicity, and indifference is surrender.
Johan's Story
Johan Obdola is a globally recognized geopolitical and intelligence analyst, advisor, and international speaker who has worked in some of the world’s most volatile and conflict-ridden regions. As a Venezuelan-born Canadian citizen, Johan has become one of the foremost authorities on narco-terrorism and transnational crime, with expertise extending far beyond Latin America into Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
For more than three decades, he has advised governments, security agencies, and international organizations, bringing first-hand experience from war zones, high-risk operations, and crisis management missions. Johan has delivered keynote speeches and strategic briefings across continents, influencing policy and shaping security strategies at the highest levels.
In 1996, he sought refuge in Canada, committing his life to combating global security threats. As President of IOSI GLOBAL, he continues to serve on international boards, mentor the next generation of analysts, and contribute to humanitarian initiatives that protect vulnerable populations. Frequently featured in global media, Johan’s voice has shaped international discourse on terrorism, organized crime, and geopolitical transformation.
Despite facing direct threats from drug cartels and state-linked actors, Johan remains resolute in his mission — driven by an unshakable commitment to justice, peace, and the defence of human dignity worldwide.
