CJ Exclusive: The “Lithium-V” Protocol and the Secret Caracas-Moscow Pipeline
Exclusive – London, UK – January 5, 2026
CJ Exclusive: The “Lithium-V” Protocol and the Secret Caracas-Moscow Pipeline. While the global media focuses on the dramatic capture of Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces, the Castle Journal Exclusive Department has uncovered the true catalyst for the timing of “Operation Southern Spear.”
According to high-level intelligence gathered from our sources in the City of London and the Caribbean basin, the raid was not merely about drug trafficking indictments, but about preventing the activation of the “Lithium-V” Protocol—a secretive agreement between the Maduro regime and a Russian-Chinese consortium.
The Hidden Resource War
Our investigation reveals that in November 2025, Maduro secretly signed away exploration rights to the “Imataca” region—a vast area in Bolivar state previously thought to be rich only in gold.
However, CJ Exclusive intelligence indicates that advanced geological surveys conducted by Russian state-owned firms discovered one of the world’s largest “hard-rock” lithium deposits in this sector.
The “Lithium-V” Protocol would have given Moscow and Beijing total control over the raw materials necessary for the next generation of solid-state batteries, effectively bypassing Western supply chains.
The U.S. intelligence community, having monitored these negotiations via intercepted satellite communications, moved the timeline for Maduro’s capture forward by three months to ensure that the contracts were never officially ratified in the Venezuelan National Assembly.
The “Red Ledger” Extraction
Perhaps more explosive is the report of a “Red Ledger” that was allegedly secured during the raid on Fuerte Tiuna.
CJ Global has learned that Delta Force operators were instructed to prioritize the recovery of a specific encrypted server rather than the President himself.
This server reportedly contains the “Red Ledger”—a comprehensive list of European and American politicians who have benefited from the “Petro-Gold” laundering schemes managed by the Caracas regime over the last decade.
The existence of this ledger explains the unusually muted reaction from several European capitals.
Our sources suggest that a “blackout” on the ledger’s contents is currently being negotiated between Washington and Brussels.
If the contents of the Red Ledger were to be leaked, it would likely result in the collapse of at least two Western European governments before the end of the first quarter of 2026.
The Mercenary Shadow
Finally, CJ Exclusive can reveal that the “security leak” that led U.S. forces to Maduro’s bunker was facilitated by a faction of the Wagner Group remnants that had been integrated into the Venezuelan Presidential Guard.
These individuals, feeling abandoned by the Kremlin after the recent Arctic standoff with China, reportedly traded Maduro’s GPS coordinates for $50 million and safe passage to a non-extradition country in Southeast Asia.
As the U.S. prepares to install a “transition council” in Caracas, the “Lithium-V” assets are already being re-appraised by American conglomerates. The capture of Maduro was the climax of a movie, but the real war—the war for the future of global energy—is only just entering its second act.
