THE WHITE HOUSE HAS CROSSED A LINE THAT WILL ECHO THROUGH HISTORY. In a chilling declaration of raw imperial power, President Donald Trump announced the United States will seize between 30 and 50 MILLION barrels of Venezuelan oil—a breathtaking resource grab he will personally control. This is not diplomacy; it is the SPOILS OF WAR, coming just 72 hours after U.S. Special Forces captured Venezuela’s elected leader, Nicolas Maduro, in a brazen raid on sovereign soil.
In a social media post dripping with autocratic fervor, Trump declared the “high quality, sanctioned” oil will be sold and the money “WILL BE CONTROLLED BY ME.” Let that sink in. The President is appointing himself the sole executor of a foreign nation’s wealth, a move with no precedent and terrifying implications for Global Order. He has ordered Energy Secretary Chris Wright to “execute this plan, immediately,” with the crude to be forcibly transported to American docks.
This is a corporate-backed PLUNDER, thinly disguised as policy. The Wall Street Journal reports Trump will meet with Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and Exxon Mobil this Friday—the very companies whose assets were once nationalized by Venezuela—to carve up the nation’s crippled oil sector. A SOURCE CLOSE TO THE ADMINISTRATION revealed this is the first step in a plan for U.S. oil giants to invest BILLIONS and take control, turning a broken nation into a private energy fiefdom.
The captured Maduro, now pleading not guilty in a New York courtroom after claiming he was “kidnapped,” stands as a grotesque trophy of this new American doctrine. The world watches, paralyzed, as the rule of law is replaced by the law of the jungle. One terrifying question now hangs over the globe: IF AMERICA CAN DO THIS TO VENEZUELA, WHAT SOVEREIGN NATION IS NEXT?
