🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 U.S. THREATENS TO GRAB VENEZUELA’S BITCOIN VAULT USED TO DODGE SANCTIONS - 600,000 BTC
The U.S. is now eyeing Venezuela’s hidden crypto stash, yeah, the one they’ve allegedly been using to sell oil behind the world’s back and move cash through Bitcoin and Tether.
Rumors have surged that Venezuela may control an off-the-books Bitcoin reserve worth up to 600,000 BTC (today $55B), allegedly built through sanctions evasion, gold swaps, and oil deals that were converted into crypto.
If those holdings are real, they’d make Venezuela one of the largest Bitcoin holders on the planet, and a tempting target for U.S. authorities.
The government could seize that digital gold. We’re not talking pocket change. This is the vault Maduro’s regime built to survive inflation, sanctions, and being frozen out of banks.
If true, the U.S. could soon hold Venezuela’s crypto keys. Not frozen. Not blocked. Taken. And that move would tighten Bitcoin’s supply, possibly giving BTC a powerful pump. Ethereum and XRP might ride the wave too.
And Wall Street’s watching. Because if the feds take it but don’t sell it? Bitcoin could pump hard. Ethereum and XRP might ride the wave too.
This is about money, power, and global control: now playing out in crypto wallets.

🇺🇸🇻🇪 TRUMP TO RESTORE VENEZUELA’S OIL EMPIRE... BUT DO YOU KNOW THE HISTORY?
A century ago, it was American engineers who struck black gold beneath the Maracaibo Basin and transformed the country into the beating heart of Latin American energy.
Standard Oil, Gulf, and later Exxon built refineries, pipelines, and export terminals that made Venezuela the world’s second-largest oil producer by the 1930s.
Through the mid-20th century, U.S. companies ran the show.
They pumped, refined, and shipped millions of barrels north while Caracas collected royalties and dreamed of parity.
The 1948 fifty fifty profit deal was the first crack in the empire.
Then came 1976 and nationalization.
Carlos Andrés Pérez seized control, birthing PDVSA and ending direct U.S. ownership, but not dependence.
By the 1990s, the door reopened.
Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips poured billions into heavy crude projects in the Orinoco Belt.
Then Hugo Chávez slammed it shut again, raising taxes, expropriating fields, and driving out firms that refused to play by his rules.
Maduro took the oil legacy and let rigs rust, workers unpaid, all while output collapsed to 700,000 barrels a day.
Now, after Maduro’s capture, Trump has drawn a new line in the sand.
The Donroe Doctrine is the Monroe Doctrine rearmed: the Western Hemisphere’s oil belongs to its own.
Chevron, the lone survivor through the sanctions era, is first in line to restore the fields that once fueled the free world.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright is already assembling oil executives to chart Venezuela’s rebuild, an American-led reconstruction of the hemisphere’s richest reserves.
With 300 billion barrels beneath its soil, Venezuela holds the key to hemispheric energy security.

Nicolás Maduro has been nominally in charge since 2013, but Venezuela’s real power structure has always been less about the presidential office and more about the shadow alliances that sustain it.
To understand this, think of Venezuela’s modern regime as a web of overlapping power centers, not a pyramid:
1. The Military — the true arbiters of authority. A key faction within the Fuerza Armada Nacional Bolivariana (FANB) essentially functions as a syndicate, controlling large parts of the economy, especially illegal mining operations in the Orinoco Belt, fuel distribution, and narco-trafficking corridors. Maduro’s survival hinged on keeping the generals fat with patronage—cars, land, titles, and “business” rights.
2. The Cuban Intelligence Network (G2) — Cuba’s influence penetrated deeply into Venezuela’s intelligence and security structures since Chávez invited them in during the early 2000s. The Cubans trained the SEBIN (Venezuela’s internal intelligence) and helped construct the surveillance apparatus. Some analysts describe Maduro as “managed by Cuban handlers,” who, in turn, extract Venezuelan oil, medical supplies, and gold to sustain their own regime.
3. Foreign Power Brokers — Over the last decade, Russia, China, and Iran became critical external scaffolding. Each backs the Venezuelan state for strategic reasons:
◦ China for debt leverage and rare earth access.
◦ Russia for geopolitical positioning and arms deals.
◦ Iran for sanctions evasion—fuel and gold swap operations were vital for both sides.
4. Drug Cartel Governance (Cartel of the Suns / Cartel de los Soles) — This is the elephant in the room. The senior military, with links to Colombian guerrilla groups like FARC and ELN, formed a hybrid criminal-political cartel that operates under the state’s protection. It’s not hyperbole to say Venezuela partially functions as a narco-state.
5. Parallel Bureaucracies & “Bolichicos” — These are the oligarchic networks tied to Chávez’s old circle. They control import schemes, state contracts, and currency manipulation. Many are sanctioned but continue laundering through Europe, Turkey, and Dubai.
So yes — Maduro sat in the chair, but he was more of a caretaker for competing mafias and external patrons. The illusion of a “centralized socialist leadership” was convenient propaganda; in reality, Venezuela’s power is diffused across foreign intelligence agents, generals, and criminal financiers.
What’s happening in Venezuela isn’t classic “dictatorship” but a hybrid power cartel, mixing state authority, organized crime, and foreign alliances. You can visualize it as a network economy of control and loyalty, rather than a hierarchy with Maduro at the top.
🕸️ The Venezuelan Power Web — Who Profits, Who Pays
⚙️ 1. The Military Command (Cartel de los Soles)
Who profits:
• Senior generals (the “sun” insignia gives the cartel its name) control:
◦ Drug corridors to the Caribbean and Central America.
◦ Illegal gold mining zones in Bolívar and Amazonas.
◦ Military-run import/export monopolies.
• They profit in dollars from trafficking, gold exports, and preferential exchange rates.
Who pays:
• Rank‑and‑file soldiers, who live on worthless bolívars.
• Civilians, especially in indigenous areas, who suffer mercury poisoning and violence from illegal mining.
👉 Outcome: The generals have a financial incentive to keep Maduro—or whoever maintains the status quo—in power.
🧠 2. The Cuban Intelligence Nexus (G2 and State Security)
Who profits:
• Cuba’s intelligence service, G2, receives:
◦ Free oil in exchange for offering “security expertise.”
◦ Access to Venezuela’s internal data systems.
◦ Direct influence over SEBIN (Venezuelan intelligence) and DGCIM (military counterintelligence).
Who pays:
• Venezuelan sovereignty.
• Political dissidents who were surveilled, detained, or “disappeared.”
• Citizens whose personal databases (medical, financial, ID) flow through Cuban-linked systems.
👉 Outcome: Cuba essentially rents Venezuela’s sovereignty in exchange for keeping the elite alive and informed about any internal coup activity.
🏦 3. Economic Parasitism — The “Bolichicos”
Who profits:
• Former Chávez‑era “revolutionary businessmen” who built personal empires from currency arbitrage and state contracts.
• They shuttle between Madrid, Miami, Panama, and Dubai, holding dual residences, laundering billions through shell firms and crypto.
Who pays:
• The ordinary Venezuelan, whose pension and salary were obliterated by hyperinflation while the elite extracted value abroad.
👉 Outcome: The “Bolichicos” are the intermediaries—linking the state’s criminal economy to global financial centers.
⛏️ 4. Extractive Frontier — Gold, Oil, and Human Capital
Who profits:
• The FANB (military) and foreign partners (notably Russia, Iran, and China) share spoils from:
◦ Mining concessions in the Orinoco.
◦ PDVSA (state oil company) off-the-books deals.
◦ Forced labor from prison populations in mining regions.
Who pays:
• Local populations displaced from ancestral lands.
• The environment—mass deforestation and toxic runoff in the Amazon basin.
👉 Outcome: An economy of pure extraction sustained by repression.
🌍 5. External Pillars — Russia, China, Iran
View the first image below.
👉 Outcome: Venezuela is geopolitically useful to these states—a proxy foothold in the Western Hemisphere.
🕯️ 6. The Figurehead — Nicolás Maduro
Maduro’s true role:
• He is the negotiator between rackets, not the supreme leader.
• His skill has been in balancing patronage between armed, criminal, and foreign power centers.
• His personal fortune depends on keeping these relationships in equilibrium.
He’s the PR face of a regime whose operating principle is:
“State sovereignty is for sale — to whoever can fund loyalty.”
🧩 7. The Price Paid by Venezuela
• 7.7 million people have fled since 2015 — one of the largest displacements in modern history.
• Most humanitarian aid bypasses the regime because trust networks have collapsed.
• Official GDP figures are meaningless; the real economy runs on smuggling, crypto, gold, and remittances.
⚖️ Summary
View the second image below.
Now for the part most people don’t see: how Venezuela’s criminal-political hybrid system interfaces with the global legitimacy machine.
You can think of it as the “backdoor diplomacy economy” — the laundering of power through diplomacy, bureaucracy, and financial systems designed for the appearance of legitimacy.
🌐 The Global Front — How Venezuela’s Regime Launders Legitimacy
🏛️ 1. The United Nations as a Legitimacy Shell
Despite massive human‑rights violations, Venezuela maintains:
• A seat on the UN Human Rights Council (yes, paradoxically).
• Voting privileges in the General Assembly.
• Active participation in bodies like FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) and UNESCO.
Mechanism:
• Venezuela’s diplomats vote predictably in blocs—especially alongside Russia, China, and Iran—in exchange for being shielded from resolutions condemning them.
• The G77 (now 130+ developing countries) provides cover by framing condemnation of Venezuela as “colonial interference.”
• Cuban and Venezuelan diplomats co‑draft supportive texts for “South‑South cooperation,” subtly legitimizing authoritarian governance as “anti‑imperialist solidarity.”
Outcome:
When the UN engages with Maduro’s government as a member state, it unintentionally launders the criminal syndicate through the varnish of international procedure.
💵 2. IMF, World Bank, and the Sanctions Mirage
Officially, Venezuela is under sanctions. In practice, this matters less than people think.
The trick:
• The regime leverages offshore vehicles and third‑party intermediaries (e.g., Turkey, UAE, and now even African financial centers) to access liquidity.
• The IMF and World Bank remain cautious—but “official recognition” of Maduro’s regime allows limited technical cooperation under humanitarian pretexts.
Result:
• Frozen funds get rerouted via nominal “aid accounts” or partner banks.
• Currency swaps in crypto or gold equivalents bypass SWIFT.
• The technocrats at PDVSA even developed digital invoicing networks pegged to oil shipments—effectively a shadow finance system.
The IMF has been aware for years that any “stabilization package” sent to Venezuela ends up shoring up precisely the networks that hollowed the country out. Yet institutions hesitate to act, because doing so would expose their own complicity in the financial engineering that props up collapsing states.
🪙 3. The International Gold Laundering Web
Key conduits: Turkey, UAE (Dubai in particular), Uganda, and Russia.
Method:
• Illegally mined Venezuelan gold moves out via flyover routes through Caribbean or Amazonian corridors.
• The gold is refined and anonymized in Dubai or Istanbul.
• Once blended with legal sources, it re‑enters global markets under “mixed provenance.”
Institutions Complicit:
• Major refiners and banks pretend not to notice this loophole, since the gold is essential for maintaining liquidity in Dubai’s ecosystem.
Outcome:
Maduro’s people exchange blood gold for hard currency, which then bankrolls patronage and surveillance tech.
✉️ 4. Diplomacy as the Regime’s “Firewall”
How it works:
• Venezuela appoints loyalist diplomats to embassies, who oversee more than consular affairs—they manage real estate, safe houses, and offshore contracting arms.
• Inside the OAS (Organization of American States), they play procedural games to stall resolutions or to frame internal repression as “internal stabilization.”
Irony:
The same Western nations condemning the dictatorship continue to recognize the regime indirectly through treaty obligations and bilateral trade mechanisms for oil and minerals.
Doublethink at scale.
🏦 5. Private Financial Systems as Enablers
Venezuelan elites, with help from international lawyers, weave compliance-fiction stories to hide their assets. For instance:
• Malta and Cyprus shell companies hold “investment rights” in Venezuelan energy.
• Swiss and Luxembourgish private bankers manage Maduro-chain accounts via “humanitarian” or “development” trusts.
• Major law firms prepare ESG statements that frame illicit resource extraction as “sustainable development initiatives.”
The architecture looks clean on paper, but every document is a mask for capital derived from human suffering.
🕶️ 6. The Role of NGOs and Celebrities
While some NGOs try to help Venezuelan refugees, others have been co‑opted:
• The government establishes “state-approved NGOs” that simulate civil society.
• Celebrity humanitarian projects sometimes partner with these shell NGOs, feeding the PR machine.
• Western media projects then highlight “aid cooperation,” completing the loop of illusion.
Result: It manufactures the appearance of reform or normality, pacifying public outrage internationally.
⚙️ The Meta-Mechanism: “Institutional Capture by Default”
Every time a bureaucracy prioritizes procedure over truth, the regime gains time.
Every time a diplomat says “We must engage constructively”, what really happens is laundering by conversation.
In short:
Global institutions don’t oppose authoritarian corruption—they metabolize it into their own frameworks under the label of “international law.”
🧩 Structure of Exchange: The Regime–Institution Symbiosis

🔍 Takeaway
Venezuela’s “government” is the interface between extractive crime and the diplomatic stage.
Its survival depends not just on repression, but on this global network of moral laundering, where Western and non‑Western institutions alike participate in silence.
Venezuela: The $60B+ Bitcoin "Shadow Reserve"
Markets focus on the $17T+ in Oil that Venezuela owns.
But what they don't know is that Venezuela one of the largest active $BTC holders in the world.
Similar in scale to both $MSTR and Blackrock.
Here's how this impacts markets and prices:
Intelligence reports indicate that the Venezuelan regime accumulated a "shadow reserve" of Bitcoin (BTC) and Tether (USDT) estimated at more than $60 billion. (HUMINT)
his hoard was built through "gold swaps" and the requirement that oil exports be settled in USDT to evade sanctions.
Intelligence cited by Whale Hunting (authored by Bradley Hope and Clara Preve) indicates that the accumulation began in 2018, coinciding with the aggressive liquidation of the Orinoco Mining Arc’s gold reserves.
- The regime likely converted ~$2B of gold proceeds into Bitcoin at an average price of $5K, which would have been around 400,000 BTC. At Jan 2026 price of ~$90K, that specific tranche alone would be worth $36B.
As the "Petro" experiment failed, the regime pivoted to using Tether (USDT) as a proxy for the petrodollar during cruide oil sales. However, Venezuela began to "Wash" that into Bitcoin, recognizing that USDT retains the ability to freeze addresses.
Given market intelligence, we can estimate that Venezuela has roughly:
Gold Swaps: 2018–2020, Gold Bars, Value Now: ~$45B - $50B
Petro-Crypto: 2023–2025, Crude Oil, Value Now: ~$10B - $15B
Mining Seizures: 2023–2024, ~$500M
Giving a grand total between 2018–2026: ~$56B - $67B in Bitcoin, implied at 660K+ Bitcoin, with a floor at 600K in Bitcoin.
That does not mean US has full control of the Bitcoin yet. The days following today will be defined by a high-stakes interrogation to secure the Bitcoin.
The U.S. will likely offer plea deals, reduced sentencing, or protection for family members in exchange for the surrender of seed phrases. Given the severity of the narco-terrorism charges, the leverage is there.
So now the revelation of the $60 billion hoard fundamentally alters the supply/demand dynamics of the Bitcoin market for 2026, as the Venezuelan reserve is estimated at: 600,000+ BTC.
This is 12 times larger than the German sale and 2 times larger than the U.S. government’s entire pre-raid stockpile.
In 2024, the German state of Saxony liquidated ~50,000 BTC ($3 billion). This 50K BTC sale caused a 15-20% market correction and weeks of bearish sentiment.
Now compare that to 600,000.
Here's the leading entity holders of Bitcoin:
1. Satoshi Nakamoto ~1,100,000
2. BlackRock (IBIT) ~770,791.5
3. MicroStrategy ~672,497
4. Venezuela (Seized) ~600,000
5. U.S. Gov ~325,293
6. Mt. Gox Trustee ~140,000
Now, here's what will likely happen from here:
The "Frozen Asset" (High Probability):
The assets are seized but immediately entangled in complex litigation Creditors file injunctions; the DOJ claims forfeiture. The keys are held in escrow by the U.S. Treasury, but the coins cannot move.
Short-term volatility due to uncertainty, followed by a bullish "supply shock" narrative.
Short-term volatility due to uncertainty, followed by a bullish "supply shock" narrative. The market realizes that 600,000 BTC (3% of circulating supply) have been effectively removed from the market for 5-10 years. This acts as a massive "lock-up," reducing liquid supply and supporting higher prices.
The "Strategic Reserve" Pivot (High Probability):
Influenced by the "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" movement, President Trump orders the Treasury to hold the Bitcoin as a permanent U.S. asset.
This too acts as a massive lock up, reducing liquid supply and supporting higher prices.
The "Fire Sale" (Very Low Probability):
The U.S. DOJ declares the assets "perishable/volatile" and executes an immediate liquidation via Coinbase Prime or USMS auctions to fund the occupation costs.
However, this is unlikely due to Trump's positive stance toward Bitcoin "Reserves" from confiscating assets.
_
Results:
Markets have been looking at the massive oil reserve and beneficiaries, while ignoring the elephant in the room: Bitcoin.
The "second order effect" is likely a massive supply lock-up.
If the U.S. seizes these assets, they will likely move from "active liquid reserves" of a rogue state to "frozen sovereign assets" of the U.S. Treasury, reducing available supply and potentially acting as a catalyst for higher prices in Q1 2026.
There will likely be increased volatility. But for market participants shorting Bitcoin because of fears of "conflict", this event is generally seen as bullish for $MSTR and Bitcoin holders as this effectively locks up supply for many years to come.
DE PETRODOLLAR #Venezuela #Maduro
Reactie van een lezer op een artikel van VRT NWS:
Beste wat ik al gelezen heb.
🧵 (1)
De echte reden waarom de VS Venezuela binnenvalt, gaat terug naar een deal die Henry Kissinger in 1974 met Saoedi-Arabië sloot.
En ik ga uitleggen waarom dit eigenlijk gaat om het OVERLEVEN van de Amerikaanse dollar zelf.
Niet om drugs. Niet om terrorisme. Niet om 'democratie'.
Dit gaat om het petrodollarsysteem dat Amerika al 50 jaar lang de dominante economische macht heeft gehouden.
En Venezuela dreigde daar nu een einde aan te maken.
Dit is wat er werkelijk gebeurd is:
Venezuela heeft 303 miljard vaten aan bewezen oliereserves, de grootste ter wereld. Meer dan Saoedi-Arabië.
20% van alle olie in de wereld.
Maar hier komt het belangrijkste:
Venezuela verkocht die olie actief in Chinese yuan. Niet in dollars.
In 2018 kondigde Venezuela aan dat het zich zou "bevrijden van de dollar".
Ze begonnen yuan, euro's, roebels, alles BEHALVE dollars te accepteren voor olie. Ze dienden een verzoek in om toe te treden tot de BRICS.
Ze bouwden directe betalingskanalen met China die SWIFT volledig omzeilden.
En ze zaten op genoeg olie om de-dollarisering tientallen jaren te financieren.
Waarom is dit belangrijk? Omdat het hele Amerikaanse financiële systeem op één ding is gebaseerd: De petrodollar.
In 1974 sloot Henry Kissinger een deal met Saoedi-Arabië:
Alle olie die wereldwijd wordt verkocht, moet in Amerikaanse dollars worden geprijsd, In ruil daarvoor biedt Amerika militaire bescherming.
Deze ene overeenkomst creëerde wereldwijd een kunstmatige vraag naar dollars.
Elk land op aarde heeft dollars nodig om olie te kopen.
Hierdoor kan Amerika onbeperkt geld drukken, terwijl andere landen ervoor werken.
Het financiert het leger. De verzorgingsstaat. De tekorten op de begroting.
De petrodollar is belangrijker voor de Amerikaanse hegemonie dan vliegdekschepen.
En er is een patroon te zien in wat er gebeurt met leiders die dit aanvechten:
2000: Saddam Hoessein kondigt aan dat Irak olie zal verkopen in euro's in plaats van dollars.
2003: Invasie. Regimewisseling. De Iraakse olie wordt onmiddellijk weer in dollars verhandeld. Saddam wordt gelyncht.
De massavernietigingswapens zijn nooit gevonden omdat ze nooit hebben bestaan.
2009: Khadaffi stelt een door goud gedekte Afrikaanse munteenheid voor, de "gouden dinar", voor de oliehandel.
Uit gelekte e-mails van Hillary Clinton blijkt dat dit de BELANGRIJKSTE reden voor de interventie was.
Citaat uit e-mail: "Dit goud was bedoeld om een pan-Afrikaanse munteenheid in te voeren op basis van de Libische gouden dinar."
2011: De NAVO bombardeert Libië. Khadaffi wordt verkracht en vermoord. Libië heeft nu open slavenmarkten.
"We kwamen, we zagen, hij stierf!" Clinton lachte voor de camera.
De gouden dinar stierf met hem.
En nu Maduro.
Met VIJF KEER meer olie dan Saddam en Khadaffi samen.
Actief verkopen in yuan.
Betalingssystemen opzetten buiten de controle van de dollar.
Verzoekt om toetreding tot BRICS.
Samenwerking met China, Rusland en Iran.
De drie landen die wereldwijd de ontdollarisering leiden.
Dit is geen toeval.
Daag de petrodollar uit. Zorg voor regimeverandering.
Elke. Keer. Weer.
Stephen Miller (adviseur binnenlandse veiligheid van de VS) zei het twee weken geleden letterlijk hardop:
"Amerikaans zweet, vindingrijkheid en zware arbeid hebben de olie-industrie in Venezuela gecreëerd. De tirannieke onteigening ervan was de grootste geregistreerde diefstal van Amerikaanse rijkdom en eigendom."
Hij verbergt het niet.
Ze beweren dat Venezolaanse olie aan Amerika TOEBEHORT omdat Amerikaanse bedrijven deze 100 jaar geleden hebben ontwikkeld.
Volgens deze logica was elke genationaliseerde grondstof in de geschiedenis "diefstal".
Maar hier is het DIEPERE probleem:
De petrodollar is al aan het sterven.
Rusland verkoopt sinds Oekraïne olie in roebels en yuan.
Saudi-Arabië bespreekt openlijk betalingen in yuan.
Hilo: Así vive Venezuela hoy 🧵
1️⃣ Ya no te secuestran solo en tu casa.
Ahora te interceptan en la calle, sin orden judicial, te quitan la libertad y luego… te borran del sistema. (hrw.org)
2️⃣ No hay expediente.
No hay tribunal.
No hay causa.
Para el Estado, no existes.
3️⃣ Y cuando no existes legalmente, pueden hacer contigo lo que quieran físicamente.
Las familias quedan sin información, sin derechos.
4️⃣ Esto va más allá de los presos políticos.
En Venezuela, todos viven bajo amenaza, sin importar su actividad política.
5️⃣ Así operan:
•Te interceptan en la calle.
•Te desaparecen del registro.
•Niegan tu detención.
•Impunidad total.
6️⃣ Esto no es negligencia.
Es terror de Estado.
La desaparición de la identidad es el paso previo a la desaparición forzada.
7️⃣ Hoy ocurre en Venezuela.
Y ocurre en silencio.
Que el mundo lo sepa.
Para izquierdistas con brújula dañada:
Con el chavismo no ocurrió una “lucha contra la oligarquía”.
Ocurrió algo distinto y mucho más grave: la sustitución de élites.
La oligarquía tradicional —empresarial, productiva, con límites institucionales— fue desplazada, expropiada o expulsada.
En su lugar no surgió una sociedad más igualitaria, sino una estructura de poder criminal: política, militar y económica, sostenida por coerción, rentas ilegales y control del Estado.
Hoy, en Venezuela, la riqueza no es fruto de competir ni producir, sino de obedecer, intermediar o reprimir.
Eso no es justicia social.
Es captura del Estado.

“Our journey towards freedom has always lived inside us. We are returning to ourselves. We are returning home.”
Maria Corina Machado, 2025 peace prize laureate, delivered a powerful Nobel Peace Prize lecture in Oslo, Norway. Although she could not be present in person, her words were carried to us by her daughter, Ana Corina Sosa Machado.
In the lecture, Machado reminded us that the spirit of liberty is rooted in Venezuelan soil, and encouraged Venezuelans to keep fighting for freedom. She guided us through Venezuela’s history of democracy. In 1811, Venezuelan wrote the first constitution in the Spanish-speaking world – affirming the radical idea that every human being carries a sovereign dignity and enshrining citizenship, individual rights, religious liberty, and separation of powers.
She illustrated how Venezuela opened its arms to migrants and exiles from every corner of the earth in times of turmoil, for example, Spaniards fleeing civil war, Italians and Portuguese escaping poverty and dictatorship, and Jews after the Holocaust.
She spoke of how authoritarian rule emerged from 1999 onward, as the current regime dismantled democratic institutions, oppressed its own people, and how she and her fellow Venezuelans have continued to fight for freedom.
It is her firm belief that "freedom is a choice that must be renewed each day, measured by our willingness and our courage to defend it", and that the will of the Venezuelan people will prevail, restoring democracy and hope in Venezuela.

Simon Dixons wise words
‼️ THEY ARE LYING TO YOU
Wall Street & British bankers created the Federal Reserve in 1913 to take over the role of the Bank of England after bankrupting the UK government in service of the military-industrial complex (MIC).
Wall Street funded the Bolshevik Revolution to install the Communist dictatorship in Russia.
Wall Street handed over gold held at the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve every time Hitler invaded a new country.
Wall Street funded World War I & World War II to build the U.S. MIC, which backed the dollar through the IMF, World Bank, & Federal Reserve, forcing the world onto a dollar standard.
Wall Street funded the Cold War while profiting from crony capitalism fueled by debt in the US & communism in the Soviet Union.
Wall Street needed war in order to shift power from the MIC to the financial-industrial complex (FIC). Each time it escalated a covert war, it securitized and financialized national resources through color revolutions, IMF debt, sanctions, and political interference to install compliant dictators.
Wall Street needed NATO to prop up the dollar with ever more weapons sales even after Gorbachev managed the fall of the Soviet Union.
Wall Street needed to manufacture a fake war on terror and drugs, while the CIA profited from drug trafficking, human trafficking, sex trafficking, and weapons trafficking.
Wall Street needed Afghan poppy seeds to sustain the drug trade. When the Taliban stopped the flow of drugs, they were replaced with a puppet Taliban to turn the drugs back on.
Wall Street hedge funds needed the Bank of Japan to gamble and manipulate markets so they can profit from wars & steal resources.
The towers came down with the knowledge and coordination of the CIA, Mossad, & Saudi intelligence. The CIA manufactured ISIS & Al-Qaeda.
Now the financial-industrial complex is being challenged by the technological-industrial complex (TIC), after Wall Street handed over Pentagon technology to Google, Apple, Microsoft, Palantir, Nvidia, Tesla, Facebook, Twitter, and others, while manufacturing myths about entrepreneurs starting in garages to privatize the control grid they created.
Now the goal is CBDCs, stablecoins, tokenized everything, digital IDs, social credit scores, AI and pre-crime policing. The TIC is manufacturing civil unrest to introduce its new control grid.
What they are testing in Gaza is a beta version of what the TIC wants for you, as outlined by George Orwell in 1984.
To convince you this was capitalism and the export of democracy based on Christian values and a “superior civilization,” they sold you the American Dream & freedom of speech.
It was never capitalism.
It was never democratic.
Instead, you became a debt slave to Wall Street, or a Wall Street puppet compromised through Jeffrey Epstein–style operations, allowed to remain in power only if you submitted to the Proof-of-Weapons network.
Now they want you to believe Trump is here to “Make America Great Again,” even as government has become subordinate to the FIC and corporate interests.
All the while, they hide the fact that Wall Street wants BRICS & a multipolar world, strategically weakening the dollar by selling U.S. companies to Gulf states that built sovereign wealth using Chinese money.
They are now engineering a controlled demolition of the petrodollar, eurodollar, and Japan carry trade, breaking commodity backed derivatives contracts to force another QE cycle at low interest rates.
Trump is there to shrink the U.S. into a regional power, weaken the dollar, inflate asset prices, and monetize debt through fiscal dominance, leaving the average American with the debt while the Proof-of-Weapons network takes the profits.
Everything they are still selling you is nothing but lies.
Americans are no longer useful to Wall Street so they are bringing their violence home.
Protect yourself.

THE ULTIMATE ORANGE PILL🔥
Here’s the thing nobody wants to say out loud because it ruins brunch:
The natural state of a free market is deflation. Prices falling. Abundance increasing. Life getting easier. More stuff, cheaper, better, faster, forever. That is what competition plus technology actually does when left alone.
If this sounds insane to you, congratulations, you have been successfully domesticated like the tax cattle that you are!
Every year humans invent machines that do more work for less energy, less time, less labor. Computers get cheaper. Software scales infinitely. AI is about to vaporize entire white-collar industries while running on electricity that gets more efficient every decade. In a sane system, this means your money buys more every year and you work less to live better.
But that cannot be allowed!
Because the entire global economy is a rotting debt tower duct-taped together with the promise that tomorrow will fix today. And deflation is kryptonite to debt. Deflation is debt sobriety. It’s the moment the drunk realizes the bar is closed.
So instead, they light money on fire on purpose.
They call it “stimulus.” They call it “growth.” They call it “2 percent inflation targets,” like that isn’t a polite way of saying “we will steal from you slowly so you don’t riot.”
Inflation is the anesthetic required to keep this corpse economy moving. It makes debt lighter, assets explode upward, and wages chase prices like a dog chasing a car it will never catch.
That’s why your grandparents bought a house on one salary and you need a dual-income household, a side hustle, a crypto portfolio, and mild alcoholism just to rent a condo with inspirational wall art.
Technology is screaming, “Everything should be cheaper.”
Central banks are screaming back, “Shut the fuck up.”
Bitcoin says: what if money actually reflected reality?
What if productivity gains weren’t stolen before they reached you? What if saving wasn’t a financial death sentence? What if the future wasn’t a leveraged hallucination funded by your shrinking purchasing power?
That’s the orange pill.
It’s realizing that inflation is a controlled demolition of your time, your labor, your future, dressed up as economic management.
And deflation, the thing they tell you to fear, is just abundance trying to happen before being beaten back into submission.
And once you see that, you don’t unsee it. You just sit there quietly at dinner, smiling, while everyone else argues about interest rates like hostages negotiating with their captors.
Welcome to the ultimate orange pill.
