Featured Release: NARCOTERRORISM 3.0: How Hybrid Criminal Power Is Reshaping the State and the Global Order
The next major volume in the Dangerous Times series is now in development.
Narcoterrorism 3.0 examines how cartels, insurgent movements, criminalized states, terrorist networks, cyber-criminal syndicates, and digital warfare are no longer separate phenomena — but are converging into a single global architecture of power.
This book maps how that architecture operates across the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, revealing a decentralized system with economic, coercive, technological, and political dimensions that existing institutions are not yet equipped to understand or confront.
Not a book about crime.
A map of the new architecture of hybrid global power.
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.

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.
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.

Book Series & Strategic Programs
Editorial Architecture
The work presented here is not conceived as a collection of isolated books.
It is structured as a living intellectual architecture — a set of interconnected series, frameworks, and narrative lines designed to explore how power, instability, crime, governance, and human consciousness are transforming in the 21st century.
Each line serves a distinct purpose.
Some are analytical and geopolitical.
Some are strategic and institutional.
Some are reflective and human.
Together, they form a coherent body of work aimed at understanding the deeper structures shaping our world — beyond headlines, beyond ideology, and beyond conventional disciplinary boundaries.
What follows is not a catalogue of titles, but a map of that architecture.

A Statement from Johan Obdola
For over three decades, I have worked on the front lines of a collapsing world order — operating in conflict zones, advising governments, confronting narco-terrorist networks, and observing the shadow systems that shape global instability.
My purpose is not simply to report on these realities, but to make them visible — by connecting intelligence, strategic analysis, and lived experience across regions, from the Americas to the Middle East, from Africa to Europe.
This work is an invitation.
Through my Dangerous Times Substack channel, I share exclusive strategic insights, investigative writing, and unfiltered perspectives that are rarely present in mainstream narratives. This is not just a publication — it is a space for reflection, dialogue, and collective clarity.
I invite you to join this community — not as an audience, but as participants in an ongoing effort to understand and confront the forces reshaping our world.
