Why do nationalised industries spark such US pushback? From Venezuela to 1970s Britain, Washington reacts whenever nations reclaim their assets as it threatens dollar power.

#Trump saber-rattling over #Venezuela echoes the old Brit playbook in the Mid-East: foreign powers using warships, pressure, and “stability” talk to reshape another nation’s oil future.
Different century, same imperial instinct. Control the wells, control the world.
Also an #Epstein distraction.

Imagine being one of the un-purged leaders in the US Military, knowing you must plan for the upcoming fake war against Venezuela, a future potential war with China-and an imminent war in Europe that our “leadership” is guaranteeing through their non-stop grift efforts.
This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Public notice for the pending FTO designation of Cartel de los Soles.
Document is slated to be published on 24 November at which time it will take effect.
Next week we will likely see a considerable ramp in military activity, with strikes possible on land targets in Venezuela.

One of the weirdest things during the campaign was Trump talking about money. He clearly had no idea what 5 dollars can buy or what a tank of gas costs. Yet that fact never gained any traction among big foot pundits.
Every time I listen to Trump, Bessent or Lutnick talk about economic conditions, it is always completely obvious how utterly disconnected they are from the everyday struggles the average American working family is dealing with right now. They simply can’t relate to normal people.
