Paul Singer, whose firm owns the US subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, spent millions in 2024 to re-elect Trump.

Now, after Trump's invasion of Venezuela on behalf of Big Oil, he's set to cash in on his investment.

A government of, by, and for the billionaires.

Apart from China and Brazil, Greenland has the largest source of elements necessary for electrical engines, electrical vehicles, batteries and computers chips (for AI).

His backers want complete control over these essential resources.

That is why he MUST have Greenland.

The USA is running out of oil it has less than 10 years left

Very soon it will have to import oil, and then gasoline prices which Americans are so obsessed with will be decided by another country

Venezuela has the most oil in the world $14tn worth

That's what this is all about

Trump voters have turned the most powerful country in the world - the longtime leader of the democratic West - into a violent rogue state.

In doing so, they have smashed any semblance of international law and order.

This ‘might is right’ world MAGA have inflicted upon us endangers all of humanity.

It isn't about fentanyl.

If so, he would've attacked Mexico and China.

It isn't about drug trafficking.

If so, he wouldn't have pardoned the President of Honduras.

It isn't about election integrity.

If so, he wouldn't have tried to steal an election here.

It's. About. The. Oil.

Jeez. A clip has emerged of Donald Trump in the Oval Office discussing how people made money in the recent market fluctuations as a result of his tariffs.

"He made two-and-a-half billion today, and he made nine hundred million, that's not bad!"

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy?

It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook.

Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump.

But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time.

Let your reps hear from you.
