Venezuelans Unite Against Trump & Zionism?

Whatever you believe about what took place this week in Venezuela, for many of us, it is obvious and clear that this is about regime change and stealing another country’s resources and wealth while promising to “run the country” and to “take care of the Venezuelan people”.  Yet, there are some interesting things that should be noted.

I pointed out some of these on Thursday’s The Sons of Liberty radio, which you can view by clicking here.

According to the current president of Venezuela, the attack on Maduro and his capture, along with numerous people being killed, was that it had a “Zionist undertones” to it.

Of course, Secretary of State Lil Narco informed the public of the covetousness and theft the US will be involved in as they “run Venezuela”.

Where is any of it authorized in the Constitution? Nowhere.

Brian Shilhavy adds:

For those who mainly get their news from U.S. sources, let’s clear up one false claim that some in the U.S. media have been stating, which is that Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez participated with the U.S. in Maduro’s capture, and was installed as President to replace Maduro by the U.S.

This did not happen.

…

The CIA has been trying to overthrow the Maduro presidency for at least a decade, unsuccessfully, because he enjoys widespread support in his own country.

But this is relatively unknown in the U.S., because the richest Venezuelans live mostly in Miami, Florida, where they try to control the narrative.

Even the Trump administration apparently has not coordinated their narrative, as Secretary of State Rubio called this a “police action” and not a declaration of war. But Trump very quickly dropped the “this is all about illegal drugs” narrative and clearly stated that this was about Venezuelan oil, promising that U.S. oil companies would take over the country’s oil reserves.

Pepe Escobar is a Latino journalist from Brazil who covers international geopolitical news, and he states that those loyal to Maduro in Venezuela are probably close to 98% of the population now, as they oppose U.S. intervention.

He states that at Maduro’s arraignment in New York, when Maduro stated:

“I am the President of Venezuela, and I consider myself a prisoner of war. I was captured in my house in Caracas“

That this became a rallying cry all across Latin America.

Shillhavy also mentioned a piece by Escobar in Strategic Culture, in which he wrote:

The Donroe Doctrine, decoded

Let’s cut to the chase. Apart from the notorious “largest oil reserves on the planet”, essential for an Empire in financial trouble to build collateral, there are several main rasons for the Venezuela hit.

1. Bellum Judaica. Apart from developing close relations with BRICS members Russia, China and Iran, Caracas unmistakably sided with Palestine and called out the Zionist plague. So in one swoop, we have not only the practical application of the “corollary to the Monroe Doctrine”, explicit in the new National Security Strategy, but most of all the “Donroe Doctrine” deployed as the “Zionroe Doctrine” by a Zionist court jester, who happens to be the neo-Caligula.

What better way to teach yet another lesson to the whole Global South on the limitless Pax Judaica – actually Bellum Judaica, because they are now on non-stop Forever War mode against all “amalek”: and everybody not genuflecting in their altar may be branded “amalek”. It’s no wonder Delcy Rodriguez went straight to the point, qualifying in her first speech the “Zionist tinge” of neo-Caligula’s kidnapping operation.

2. Heavy metal thunder. Only less than 24 hours after the bombing/mini-Shock’n Awe/kidnapping, and for a mere $8 billion, Washington wrapped up a massive smelter deal to process no less than $1 trillion of Venezuelan precious metals.

The deal was financed by J.P.Morgan – which happens to be in big trouble because of the their massive physical silver short position. The beauty is that Venezuela happens to be smack in the middle of the Arco Minero (“The Mineral Arc”) which concentrates untold trillions in still unmined gold and silver.

3. The petrodollar angle. The heart of the matter is not Venezuela’s humongous – untapped – oil reserves per se, complete with neo-Caligula salivation. The key is petrodollar-denominated oil. Printing endless – intrinsically worthless – green toilet paper to finance the industrial-military complex implies the US dollar as the global reserve currency, petrodollar included.

The Empire of Plunder simply could not allow Venezuela’s oil to be sold in yuan, ruble, rupee or a basket of currencies, or in the near future, a BRICS-sanctioned mechanism backed by oil and gold. Red alert was already on as Venezuela integrated into China’s CIPS cross-border payment system.

Then, on the oil front, there’s the matter of stealing Venezuelan oil from Citgo – the Hudson-based subsidiary of PDVSA – to profit Zionist billionaire Paul Singer and his hedge fund, Elliot Investment Management. A “proud Zionist” and AIPAC board member, Robert Pincus, was court-appointed to facilitate the scam, derived from Citgo owing over $20 billion to creditors: another toxic effect of years of sanctions.

Additionally, and contrary to neo-Caligula’s fiction that “this is our oil”, Venezuelan historian Miguel Tinker Salas conclusively proved how the country nationalized the oil industry in 1976: “It was controlled by Venezuelans. It was run by Venezuelans”. Foreign companies, including ExxonMobil’s “most profitable subsidiary” were fully compensated, “much above and beyond what they had already extracted”.

Then there’s the crucial Chinese angle.

There has been a tsunami of splendidly stupid speculation that China did not do anything to “save” Venezuela. China is way too sophisticated to engage in brawls. Beijing will fight the Empire of Chaos in court.

Silently, with no fanfarre, Beijing has made it very clear that any American attack on Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) projects sealed by contract around the Global South – 150 participating nations at least – will be met with international arbitration in every court from Caracas to Jakarta. Translation – in the only way Western barbarians understand: the legal cost of American regime change operations will become prohibitive.

A test may be coming pretty soon. Assuming neo-Caligula “runs” Venezuela – and that’s a major “if” – all that Beijing needs is to successfully enforce a single contract claim against a Trump-run Venezuela. Let’s see whether neo-Caligula would have the balls to stop Venezuelan oil being sold to China. Good luck on imposing regime change after that.

Additionally, Pepe presented some other issues in an interview, including a though that a trap was set by Russia and China and that Trump walked right into it.

Finally, there’s a lot of money to be made, the Don and his associates keep telling us, only it won’t be going to the Venezuelan people, as they promise.

Christ Menahan writes at Information Liberation:

The US sanctioned Venezuelan state-owned oil company Citgo into bankruptcy, forced its sale to Zionist billionaire Paul Singer for about $6 billion two months ago, and then captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to “take over” the country.

From The Wall Street Journal, “Citgo Is a Crown Jewel of Venezuela’s Oil Industry. Elliott Is Set to Reap the Benefits.”:

For [Paul Singer’s] activist hedge fund Elliott Investment Management, Nicolás Maduro’s swift exit comes at an auspicious time.

A U.S. judge in November backed a roughly $6 billion bid by Elliott for Citgo Petroleum, the refining firm owned by Venezuela’s state-run company Petróleos de Venezuela, known as PdVSA, in a forced sale to satisfy creditors. Citgo, based in Houston, owns a U.S. network of refineries, pipelines and terminals that some analysts have said could be worth between $11 billion and $13 billion.

The deal was controversial in Venezuela. Maduro’s government denounced the proposed sale as fraudulent. The board recognized by the U.S. government as the legitimate overseer of PdVSA’s overseas oil assets vowed to fight to keep Citgo under Venezuelan control.

Less than two months after receiving the judge’s endorsement, Elliott is looking at a more favorable—albeit chaotic—landscape. Maduro is being held in a New York jail. President Trump has sidelined the opposition, accused Venezuela of stealing American crude and said U.S. firms would be strongly involved in its oil industry.

Now, Elliott appears poised to reap the rewards of owning Venezuela’s most valuable foreign oil asset. The regime change could lead to an increase in Venezuelan oil production, which would likely provide cheap feedstock to Citgo’s Gulf Coast refineries and increase the company’s value, analysts and refining experts said.

“Maduro is out, so a lot of the threat is out,” said Jay Auslander, a litigator who represents sovereign interests and private-equity funds. “It looks like a potentially quite good deal that remains high risk.”

Elliott isn’t in the clear yet. The hedge fund still needs approval from the Treasury Department to conclude the deal. Plus, PdVSA and Venezuela have appealed the judicial sale.

“In 2024, Singer, an 81-year-old with a net worth of $6.7 billion, donated $5 million to Make America Great Again Inc., Trump’s Super PAC. Singer donated tens of millions more in the 2024 cycle to support Trump’s allies, including $37 million to support the election of Republicans to Congress. He also donated an undisclosed amount to fund Trump’s second transition,” Judd Legum reports.

Finally, with even more Zionist references, Marjorie Taylor Green pointed out these little caveats.

Here are some interesting facts about Venezuela that are easily searchable.

Venezuela is a predominantly Catholic country with very strong laws against abortion with the exception being the life of the mother. Maduro has been critical of Israel calling it a genocide in Gaza and against Zionism.

Maduro’s opposition, Maria Corina Machado is a strong supporter of Israel and wants to restore strong relations with Israel. She is more left leaning on abortion and LGBTQ issues.

Most Americans I talk to are not buying that this is really about drugs and sanctioned oil takers.

And it’s not about social issues, I just added that to highlight some differences in the two leaders.

People voted in 2024 against foreign intervention and foreign regime change as we have seen far too many times how that’s turned out, it’s not good, and people are so sick of it.

Trump’s Zionist masters have spoken and Trump did what his handlers told him to do.  All of it is completely unconstitutional and no, this is not taking up for anyone.  Venezuela is not America’s problem.  The tyrants in DC are our problem, and this gets the people’s eyes off the revelations about Trump in the Epstein files, which are quite damning and onto someone they can project their own sins onto.
