The U.S. backed a coup in Venezuela that has failed. And President Trump was the architect of it. This is a farce surrounding an intrigue contained within a tragedy. What has happened in Venezuela is tragic. Nicolas Maduro is a comical figure straight out of central casting for a South American leader of a junta. But it has been the U.S.’s designs on Venezuela’s oil and gas reserves (the largest proven in the world as of 2017) that is the real story behind this week’s events. For anyone still harboring doubts as to who Trump truly is Venezuela should end them. Trump’s Energy Dominance policy is at the core of his foreign policy. And he will do whatever it takes to secure that policy and deliver a long-standing order to the U.S. and European oligarchy to gain control over Venezuela. Energy Dominance As Alistair Crooke succinctly put it last year at Strategic Culture: The US – were energy dominance to succeed – simply would control the tap to the economic development – or its lack thereof – for rivals China, and Asia. And the US could squeeze Russia’s revenues in this way, too. In short, the US could put a tourniquet on China’s and Russia’s economic development plans. Is this why JCPOA was revoked by President Trump? Here then, is the squaring of that circle (more US power, yet less empire): Trump’s US aims for ‘domination’, not through the globalists’ permanent infrastructure of the US defence umbrella, but through the smart leveraging of the US dollar and financial clearing monopoly, by ring-fencing, and holding tight, US technology, and by dominating the energy market, which in turn represents the on/off valve to economic growth for US rivals. In this way, Trump can ‘bring the troops home’, and yet America keeps its hegemony. Military conflict becomes a last resort. Most of Trump’s supporters refuse to admit this is the plan. They still want to believe that National Security Advisor John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were thrust upon him by the nefarious Deep State. And that Trump is a trapped hero in a cage yearning to breathe free and MAGA, if we just support him a little more. Nonsense. Trump has been very clear about this policy for years. We take over these places, kill the bad people and pay for it all by stealing their natural resources, in this case oil. It is Trump’s 17th century view on trade writ large. Since this is a 17th century colonial mindset. An independent Venezuela, even if it is run by an incompetent bus driver, is something that cannot be allowed to stand. Anyone that refuses to trade that oil on U.S. controlled exchanges, exchanges controlled by Goldman-Sachs, or in U.S. dollars is to be taken over and a puppet government installed, c.f. Iraq, Libya. But only after your production is removed from the market. So that we can sell ours. This is geopolitics 101 folks. Nothing new under the sun. Does everyone not remember Trump’s cutting Venezuela from the global monetary system through sanctions last year? The Socialism Bogey The worst of the country’s hyper-inflation occurred after this. Sadly, it was cheered on by libertarians and conservatives more interested in proving Socialism is bad than seeing the bigger picture of how it was fomented by immoral U.S. policy under Trump’s guidance. Because no one f&cks with the Orange Jesus, man. Whoa!

ROTFLOL! And the geo part of it includes the control of oil. Remember at the start of the Bosnia-Serbia war, the U.S. bombed and dropped all the bridges over the Danube River, thus stopping the flow of cheap Russian oil to French and German refineries. I called this action, "Oil on your French Toast" in an article on my blog. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Orange Jesus, bump. Good stuff
A much as I want to to toss Commies from helicopters, the Venezuelans need to work this shit out amongst themselves.

The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
Bery UnAmeriKan of you !

Sept. 13, 2017 6:52 p.m. ET CARACAS, Venezuela—The government of this oil-rich but struggling country, looking for ways to circumvent U.S. sanctions, is telling oil traders that it will no longer receive or send payments in dollars, people familiar with the new policy have told The Wall Street Journal. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Trump has never advertised that he wouldn't screw with other countries. Unfortunately.
I mean come on, therez a little bit of ZioEmpire in every-body on the planet - just dying to be dem- ock-raD-ickly freed !
Trump screwed with North Korea and got Kim to the bargaining table in Singapore. Now it looks as if the Korean conflict will come to a close very soon and North and South will be reunited. It has been a divided peninsula since the end of WW II. Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for this. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one."

I think I read that Kim has been wanting to talk but past presidents didn't have time for him. If so, it could be said that it was Kim that brought the west to the peace table. There's no reason for the K war to NOT be ended, but it's quite doubtful that unification will come any time soon. Kim likely won't want to surrender power. If the K war ends on his watch, he may well get one for it. That in spite of hiring the likes of Nikki Haley and John Bolton into his admin.
Kim is watching the Regime Change dog & pony show in Venezuela, and will decide to ramp up NORK nuclear rocket production. He doesn't trust the Orange Neocon, Donnell at all now. Rockets UP !!! Rocket Man is wiping his rear with the Trump peace deal. He brought a private toilet to the summit in Malaysia. You think maybe he did not want his poop to be intercepted? LOL "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
This is geopolitics 101 folks.
