I don't think anyone understands the international Deep State involvement in VZ... Drug money... England set up off-shore banking in 1960 to launder illegal monies, drug money. Election rigging in 72 countries including the U.S.; VZ is the nexus for nefarious activity.

VZ is one of a few major staging grounds for the Deep State abroad, others being Ukraine and Taiwan.

“Trump's Venezuela operation isn't just about Maduro. It's about targeting the City of London-centered offshore banking apparatus that has funded terrorism, cartels, and the destruction of sovereign nations for over 50 years.”

The over 50 yrs by Promethean thinking is going back to when the offshore banking apparatus was set up, (they said the 1960s) taking in all the drug money…they weren’t referring to the Fed - 1913.

I was referring to all the Cabal f***ery that has been happening for centuries. Drug money, cartels, Fed -- all part of it, but by no means its entirety.

But the more people are aware of what [they] are doing, the better. In time, they will see the system expose itself in its entirety, and understand. 💖🙏🕊🕊🕊

Related to my first reply, from Promethean’s website:

“ Back in 1960, the largest banking houses in London, working in partnership with the government and the Exchequer established 14 completely secretive "secrecy jurisdictions."

“These are the offshore banking centers that now hold between 50 and $75 trillion with all 50 of the world's largest banks operating within them.”

Yes! This is one of the best videos I have watched! Share it everywhere! I dropped this on another substack comment section after reading anti Trump nonsense about the capture of Maduro, noting that it would go over like a lead balloon in that comment section, but I was going to post it anyway. We are still fighting the first American Revolution, and our enemies from 250 years ago are still trying to defeat us. This is the final act, in my opinion. We have to get it done right and finish them off once and for all. 🙏🕊🇺🇲

Another thing to ponder is that I believe Trump is breaking from OPEC and its control of the petro-dollar and moving it into the Western Hemisphere. If it works that way it will be GLORIOUS. Again, breaking from London control; England and Saudi ties go waaayyy back, same with the Bush family.

GBPH thanks, I needed my fix: ”The only viable explanation I can offer that addresses all the contradictions and plot twists is the theory of TrumpaMania— that we are watching a cartoonish soap opera that is effectively narrative rope-a-dope against the Deep State” Trump-A-Mania BABY… I can see Maduro & Petro in the ring vs Hegseth & Rubio at the Trump-A-Mani event planned for the White House front lawn… maybe throw in Lady Lindsay carrying the number cards between rounds😊 2026 will be even more fun than 2025!!!

Thanks BB & Ashe for the demise of the DS Rat Bastard MSM Take. I really believe that this 1st week of 2026 story is world changing. We all know that the MSM = LIES and anyone who still watches TV wants to smash their set when the talking heads continue to repeat the 4 AM CIA talking points like Parrots.

I doubt Greenland (or Canada, or Cuba) will achieve statehood any time soon, nor might we want them to do so. I see them instead being granted the sort of relationship we now have with Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, etc. as unincorporated organized territories with their own governments and laws but under U.S. protection and supervision.

I've already seen evidence that something is happening in Canada. While opting in to an email list, the listserv asked the usual. When it got to State, it was a pulldown. So all 50 states were there, as well as the Canadian provinces. The listserv knew I was in the US by my IP address.

The kind of relation of Guam or US VI is also a possibility but if we get back to the original Constitution there is a model that I think would work very well. I wrote a short Sustack article about that last year: https://substack.com/@joek89/p-157676852

Gary's avatar

Thanks, Joe; good article. The Constitution's "Admission Clause" gives Congress the authority to grant statehood (note recent Dem threats to do so for Puerto Rico and D.C.) but most of our states are first named as Territories. The Republic of Texas is a notable exception - and perhaps a precedent - of an independent country taken in as a state directly; the Republic of Hawaii followed the same path. Both admissions (especially Texas) were fairly complicated and lengthy.

I don't believe Trump wants 'Canada' per se. He wants Alberta to be specific, possibly accompanied by Saskatchewan. Rest of the place is just too liberal and brainwashed.

And yes, most of these places -- especially Greenland (pop. 30-50,000, depending who you believe) are too small and/or undeveloped for statehood. AB (+SK) a different story, large enough, things there work, and also conservative enough.

Nunavut... interesting. Wife and I are dual citizens, USA-CAN, lived in BC-AB for almost 20 years.

Interesting factoid: the distance between Nunavut and Greenland, at its closest point which is across the Nares Strait, is about 10 miles.

Also interesting Quebec might go along. QC is pretty liberal, perhaps the West would offset that... anyway we shall see.

Hi Wild Bill!

Regarding Québec (and any other liberal place!) I wonder if experiencing an actual economical success wouldn't make them change their mind about conservative values ...

I don't know the most plausible answer! 🤗🤔

Expand full comment
Wild Bill's avatar

Well, that would certainly help. One problem is that Canada 'bribed' Quebec to stay in confederation with 'transfer payments' from the 'Federal treasury' that in actual practice were almost all from Alberta, with a little from BC, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Ontario and the Maritimes/Newfoundland were neutral -- not too much benefit or cost compared to what Alberta was paying or Quebec receiving.

So if they leave Canada, would they get enough benefit from being part of the USA to offset the loss of the transfer payments? Clearly for Alberta there is a huge benefit; that would have to be offset somehow for Quebec. An open US market would certainly help.

My interpretation of Trump allowing Delcy Rodriguez to assume interim President is to demonstrate that arresting Maduro’s is not a “regime change” and Trump is giving Venezuela and their new leadership a chance to do the right thing for the Venezuelan people. Trump repeatedly stated that Maduro did not win their last election.

Let’s see what the people of Venezuela really want in the wake of the dictator being removed. We are in the early days of the narratives competing for attention.

Burning Bright's avatar

I agree with about half of this.

But considering Maduro has been the target of several Globalist-funded color revolution attempts over the last few years, I have him more Sovereign Alliance coded than proxy.

Expand full comment
Featherjourney's avatar

For decades the “color revolutions” in all of Latin America have been global-cabal, communist movements (funded by drug money I imagine) and orchestrated in part by our CIA involvement working with the DeepState in our own country. With trillions of dollars at their disposal, one wonders how Maduro managed to stay in power since 2013?

I don’t rule out the “Sovereign Alliance” connection and cover that you and Ghost see…I just don’t see it yet.

The Tucker interview with Macgregor was 2 months ago and I didn’t agree with Macgregor’s take back then either.

I appreciate your reply, BB ❤️ and I am doing my best to keep an open mind on your take. If you’ve written a substack that explains how you arrive at Maduro being a Sovereign Alliance player, I will read it 😊

Actually, if you think about it, arresting Maduro has less to do with the country of Venezuela than it has to do with taking out a very key enabler of the British Financial Empire (taking in many trillions of drug $$ for their offshore banking centers).

We've been "20 years from fusion power" for even longer than we've been "12 years from climate catastrophe" and I think the same people are involved in both predictions (fantasies). It hasn't been so much science and technology that have stood between us and safe, clean, cheap fusion energy as it has been artificial barriers put in place by the same politicians who have benefitted from wind and solar mandates. If the cost of energy plummets, so do their clandestine rewards.

My point exactly. I see Trump's Fusion push as being less about accelerating into new discoveries so much as new disclosures.

Trump is clearly up to something with TEA. I'm not sure it is fusion -- there are real, significant technical problems -- but possibly with Nikola Tesla's discoveries. Remember that Trump's uncle John, MIT EE prof, ended up with Tesla's papers. Where are they today?

But whether fusion or Tesla tech, either way I'm good with it. And Trump does not make strategic mistakes. He knows how this will work out. The rest of us, wait and see.

Jim Schout's avatar

Why is fusion so much more desirable than fission? To me, fission has been a proven technology since 1960 and fusion is still unproven. So, this latest venture is hype more than a real game changer. Both nuclear technologies general heat which can be converted to steam to turn a turbine and generate electricity.

What is needed is water! All steam to power designs require a huge amount of cooling water, so finding a 20 acre site is not as simple as it is depicted. They failed to state the site must have access to a huge source of clean water.

May I posit another side to this. A computer generates very little heat. So, why is AI going to put a load on our power grid? I think the load is from the new buildings and equipment rather than AI. I also think the load is going to be created from the $18 Trillion of new manufacturing Trump is bragging about, not AI. Yes, AI may contribute to the efficiency and promote growth of business, but the business growth is what will over-power our existing system.

So, all of this fusion talk is just bullshit to get America thinking about not complaining if a new power plant is proposed. Trump wants us to applaud the power expansion. He also wants our government to stop using the environment against power generation.

35 years ago the President of Duke Energy told me the Left in America believed they needed to put a halt to all new power plants. Not because of the environment but because power drove our success. Third world countries needed for America to slow down so they had time to catch up. AND!!! He was in no position to argue with that totally stupid concept because he managed a monopoly and there was no way he would rock the boat. If our government told him to generate power using millions of gerbils in a cage to turn his generators, that is what he would do!

His job was to make electric energy and to make a profit. Coal and Nuclear were the best technologies and that is what he was going to use.

But, look at all of the solar and wind! Guess who forced him to do something stupid? Guess who doesn’t want this to be known?

🇺🇲🇬🇱🇬🇧🇪🇺🇩🇰🇻🇪🇷🇺

GREAT QUESTIONS !

In the final days of 2025, just before Maduro was secretly removed from Caracas against his will, an event occurred that seemed insignificant given the enormous US armada and the air assets and countless sensors deployed in the Caribbean for weeks.

A large oil tanker seemed to have found a way to make itself completely invisible to all US technology by simply turning off its transponder when it passed close to the US fleet, without being detected by any aircraft, submarine, Navy ship, or satellite. Unless it entered the Bermuda Triangle, no one can believe such a story!

Even without intercepting or sinking it, it was perfectly feasible to immobilize it at sea or render it incapable of steering, in take

Since it passed discreetly (in French we would say it “slipped away”!), it has been followed like a shadow by a USCG cutter, but also by an incredible deployment of air assets (U2, probably P8 Poseidon, satellites, NATO fighters and tankers).

It changed flags in an emergency, adopting the Russian flag in the middle of the ocean, and is now heading there at a good pace.

In Europe, enormous Special Forces resources have been flown to the United Kingdom, as if it were to be stormed off the English coast... But these same resources could just as easily become very useful off the coast of Greenland!

This ship could easily have been immobilized or rendered ungovernable by the US Navy present in the Caribbean, without exposing US sailors to excessive risk or even the risk of pollution!

And now the Russians are sending ships and a submarine to meet it and escort it as soon as they reach it!

As an article in the introduction says, it's like watching a remake of the movie “The Hunt for Red October,” but in the opposite direction!

Relevant questions:

- WHO or WHAT was loaded onto it in such a hurry, and why is it so important that it justifies such a deployment of resources, which is difficult to justify with a shipment of oil?

- Could there be a link to the burning issue of Greenland?

- Or are we witnessing a huge operation in which the Sovereign Alliance has taken possession of resources (gold or other comparable assets stashed by the Globalists in their financial hub in Venezuela), which are now being escorted to Russia (compensation for its assets frozen/stolen by the European Union ???).

Yes, and Trump said he's going to sell the oil and the tankers at market price (though that one, that they've been following for weeks, looks to me to be in pretty rough shape) and use the money to pay the Venezuelan civil servants the back pay they are owed. Once that money starts flowing into VZ's economy, the Venezuelan people will be all-in for Trump.
