VENEZUELA: ANATOMY OF AN ECONOMIC HITJOB—The story of how our favorite ethnic oligarchs stole Venezuela for their international empire, but made it look like it was for our "American Empire" in the process.
Q: Was the Venezuelan action good for America? Well, IMO that's the wrong question. The right question is: Was it was better for Our Greatest Ally or for us on a relative basis? I'll lay out the timeline, then explain my answer to this question.
TIMELINE
In June 2014, the price of oil plummeted, hitting Venezuela's main revenue source.
In 2015, Venezuelan bonds, based on that oil, officially became distressed. Paul Singer's Elliott Management began buying these bonds at a discount, which were then trading at 50-70 cents on the dollar.
By 2016, BlackRock was also buying these distressed bonds.
In May 2017, Goldman Sachs purchased $2.8 Billion of these bonds at 31 cents on the dollar.
In August 2017, Trump begins placing sanctions on Venezuela. He will increase the sanctions again in 2018, 2019 & 2020.
By the end of 2017, as a result of the sanctions, the distressed Venezuelan bonds go into default.
December 2017, Venezuela announced the Petro (a state-backed cryptocurrency tied to oil reserves) as a sanctions-bypass tool. The regime also began BTC mining operations.
2018–2020: Gold-to-Bitcoin Swaps. Venezuela exported 73 tons ($2.7 billion) of Orinoco gold to countries like Turkey and the UAE. The proceeds were converted into BTC at the then current prices of ~$5,000–$10,000, forming the initial BTC reserve. BTC was also used for imports from Iran and Turkey.
2019–2022, Venezuela began subsidizing electricity, making it a BTC mining hub, which saw Chinese BTC operations move in.
May 2021, Robert Pincus is appointed by a US judge as Special Master to oversee the auction of PDV Holdings (Venezuelan oil) to pay off the bond debt.
2023–2025: Venezuela's Oil-to-USDT-to-Bitcoin Pivot. State oil firm PDVSA demanded payments in Tether (USDT) for exports (up to 80% by late 2025) to evade frozen accounts. Tether holdings were converted to BTC. Total holdings swell to $60 Billion.
In 2024, Special Master Robert Pincus recommends Venezuelan oil assets be sold to Paul Singer's Amber Energy.
November 2025, the US judge approves the sale of PDV/Citgo to Paul Singer's Amber Energy for $5.9 Billion, over the objections of Venezuela which appealed the ruling. Amber Energy will pay $2.1 Billion to bond holders.
SUMMARY & ANALYSIS
FOR NOTICERS: (Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Paul Singer, Robert Pincus....) need I go on?
With the help of zion-Don & the hijacked US military, israel-first jewish billionaires will get the long-awaited payout on their distressed investment gamble and seize control of Venezuela's oil, while the US Gov will take the strategic BTC reserve. It's unclear so far the ultimate fate of that BTC, but I'm sure the Crypto-Bros who bankrolled Trump's 2024 campaign will be very happy. And I'm sure plenty will find its way to Blackrock, helping it strengthen its grip over the financial system. The Silicon Valley tech bros will also now get to plunder other Venezuelan mineral resources to build & power their tech at a discount, and increase their relative power over us little guys, too.
With full access to and control over Venezuelan oil, israel and the zog'd out USGov are poised to make another run at Iran while simultaneously grabbing OPEC by the balls and further stressing China's access to oil (which buys 89% of Iran's oil & 45% of Venezuela's).
I think we see now why the israel-first crowd & Netanyahu were so happy about this action. Not to mention that Venezuela was firmly anti-zionist while being an important trading partner with Iran, helping both of them evade sanctions. This has helped Iran check israeli power in the middle east.
The main benefits to this intervention look to accrue to jewish & Zionist billionaires, financiers, tech oligarchs, israel, and other zionist-aligned people & entities. Does strengthening and enriching those powers help America-First Americans? Is giving Silicon Valley even more relative power good or bad for America-First sovereignty? Is making Blackrock more powerful good for us?
Yes, it does help to preserve the petro-dollar, which in the short term helps regular Americans. But the petrodollar play feels like it's just the bribing of Americans, so that we won't object to our own country being occupied and plundered by the same people plundering Venezuela. Does the petrodollar help us regain our sovereignty, or does it just keep us complacent? And doesn't it also help our Overseers who also deal in dollars and dominate the worldwide financial system? Whom does it help more on a relative basis? Aren't we just making our Masters stronger relative to us, further bolstering their grasp over us?
Are we really building "American Empire?" Or are we parasitizing America to build the international jewish empire and Greater israel? Which will then allow them to dominate us even harder than they already do?
IMO, they're playing on our collective American Ego and creature comforts to sleepwalk us into their digital control grid, Project Stargate, CBDC, AI, social credit, surveillance, police state.
I'm at the point now where if THEY want something, I don't want them to have it. Simple as.
Is Venezuela really the Monroe Doctrine? Or is it Globalist Talmudic Doctrine selling you snake oil labeled as the Monroe Doctrine?
Who did this action benefit more, Them or Us?
