Vic Meyers #resistance (catch it on YouTube) has been running a very good series on the Trump Administration and it’s backers on it’s use of FEAR to steer the the agenda. Anyone watching the military buildup Caribbean Sea since last September will remember the term “Narco-Terrorists” there’s a nice catchy phrase used to inspire fear, ICE has been using it for the last year to deport various groups of people whether or not they could be classed into that phrase. Now that Maduro is in custody for being a “Narco-Terrorist”. The Administration now says we will be running Venezuela to redeem a seizure by the Hugo Chavez government so that our oil companies can profit from their input into the tapping the oil reserves. This all part of our National Security Statement where the US says we control the western hemisphere.
As Mr. Meyers would say “Let’s adjust our perspective” what does all the above mean when we remove FEAR from the equation? Firstly Maduro had to be removed, Next we seize the oil assets and hand them over to our oil companies. Then we run Venezuela, probably through a puppet dictator. All is well.
Except we are walking into a situation where drug traffic is still going to flow through because the demand for the drugs still exists in our country. If we really want to do something about shutting down the drug traffic coming we must get our demand for the under control, this will limit the control of the drug cartels and we will have an easier time shutting them down. But since this administration wants nothing to do shutting down the demand they will keep the drugs coming in so they further their agenda. But keeping the oil under the control of US firms, that would mean keeping a fighter/bomber wing, one close air support wing, and one division of military people operating from French Guiana through Columbia to control the cartels but also to stop the flows arms and munitions into Venezuela. So we have Afghanistan all over again except we are following the Putin Model to control the territory. In other words, a lot of people mostly innocents will be killed by our military and we will be lucky to get oil out of Caracas.
One thing that any country has the rights to is the resources on or below their land. Nationalization of those resources and the right to change how those resources are extracted is solely the right of that country. If the President truly understood history, he would understand why Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and Iran all nationalized their oil and we never took more than a diplomatic stance to try retain some interest of that resource. The losses by the oil companies far out weigh those lost in Venezuela yet the US Government stayed out of the fray. The oil companies wrote the loss on their taxes. Such is the life of being in an extraction industry.
Where do We the People go from here? We the people need to remove the our present Administration from the President whit all his lackeys in the Cabinet, department heads, second in commands, and congressional lackeys, and at least four Supreme Court members from office. Then put in a TEMPORARY GOVERNMENT to clean up the mess this Administration has caused. We hold the Mid term elections as scheduled to replace members of Congress as required and then in 2028 hold an election to replace the TEMPORARY GOVERNMENT.
In further posts here I want to put forward some ideas to consider from decreasing the power of the drug cartels to Constitutional Amendments to help make sure we can keep our Government of People, For the People and By the People.
