I knew we would STEAL all that oil...
Who says it's being stolen? Have the details of the agreement made public yet?
I'd be curious to know how it works.
I think the important part is that China is no longer having their mitts on their oil.
Would you feel better if China got that oil? They would have had Trump not taken Maduro out.
....and they'd have surely ripped off Venezuela. Just look how they steal and cheat on everything else they do.
We took guns down there, we murdered hundreds of people, kidnapped the president, and installed a puppet regime....I pretty sure we stole it, and we are keeping the proceeds from the stolen oil. Trump might as well be Joe Biden.

Who blinked first...
NOW: "Tough guy" Ontario PM Doug Ford BEGS President Trump to make a "free trade" deal with Canada, says he needed to "stand up" to Trump for attacking Canada
This guy is a literal freaking clown WAY in over his head
"You got to eventually stand up to someone that just continuously attacks our country and insults our country!"
"It's unfortunate that he stoops down to that level. And unfortunately, I did that day, but I just think that we need to focus on a free trade agreement that will create more jobs, more opportunities on both sides of the border."

Murdered hundreds?? Wut?
Puppet regime? Delcy Rodríguez is Venezuela’s acting president. She was sworn in on January 5, 2026, after U.S. forces captured Nicolás Maduro on January 3, 2026. The situation is a hybrid: the old Maduro regime’s personnel still run day-to-day government in Caracas, under U.S. pressure and without a new election so far.
Kidnapped? I prefer 'We rescued his ass from the Cartels who were ruling over him." Reason he gave a 'thumbs up'...
If Trump might as well be Joe Biden" (LOL) you should be singing Trump's praises about now...
As long as he is still blowing Netanyahu, I don't think so...

President Obama has been quite busy lately. He's at it again.
First he is photographed going into 10 Downing Street in London to meet with the UK PM.
Next thing we see him photographed meeting with Canadian PM Carney.
Each time we see Obama meeting with foreign government officials shortly thereafter some new roadblock to peace (between Russia – Ukraine) and trade (Canada) suddenly erupts.
0bama’s actions need to be brought up to the people and an investigation needs to happen.
This is meddling in the current administration’s affairs.
We have never had a former President act this way.

BREAKING: Trump Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy is hereby SHUTTING DOWN HUNDREDS of fraudulent CDL-trucking schools for not enforcing English proficiency standards, and ILLEGALLY giving CDLs to noncitizens, illegals and unqualified driversThese schools STILL passed foreigners despite not knowing English.
GOOD!
"What we are announcing is an emergency executive shutdown of 110 driving schools. So these are driving schools that account for 5,000 of the violations for English proficiency."
"What I mean by that is you have to speak English to operate a commercial motor vehicle."
"I didn't create that rule, President Trump didn't create that rule, that rule has been in place for decades. And we have schools that know the rule and still pass people through their school who can't speak the language!"
"And so there's 110 of them through a data analysis that are the greatest offenders."
"As of today, those schools are shut down. We also have shut down 160 additional schools. These are schools that in essence, certified that they are qualified to train truck drivers."
"However, they don't have adequate space to put a potential driver in a truck and have them go around the cones and do the turns."
"And they don't have space to even allow the truck driver to actually get behind the wheel and drive. They have unlicensed instructors!"
"So you have instructors who aren't certified, who are allegedly training the new truck drivers to operate on American roadways."

BOOM!
BREAKING: Scott Bessent just sent shivers down the spine of Iranian regime leaders. What a bad*ss...
"I will say it on worldwide TV: we KNOW WHERE in the British Virgin Islands your accounts are, at these trust companies. We know the hundred million dollar houses you have around the world. WE ARE GOING TO CLOSE ALL THAT DOWN."
"We are going after the regime's assets they have stolen from the Iranian people."
"They can go to the victims of terror."
"After 47 years — IT IS OVER."
"Either you are with us, or against us."

What most don't grok...
The Trump administration is not hiding it.
The move from an electrical grid powered by oil and gas, to an entirely new self-sustaining localized nuclear device no bigger than a car.
For almost 150 years, the people controlling the old geopolitical paradigm for energy, finance and 'conflict management' from the shadows had the world 'locked in' and 'locked down' via a series of carefully crafted and cultivated illusions that allowed them to suppress, exploit and ruthlessly extract trillions in wealth annually from the world population.
Central banks owned by oligarchs bought/bribed their way into control of the financial markets, manipulating nations into ditching sovereignty to increase control, and accumulating every growing debt via their puppet politicians.
Central banks wedded to the arms/'defense' industries profited from endless conflicts created, sustained and managed by a CFR 'diplomatic elite class' that kept the Forever Wars going smoothly.
Trapping the world in the oil/gas paradigm they set up was just good business sense. It allowed them use proxy regimes [some proxy regimes disguised, some not] to control, then ration the extraction of oil and natural gas around the world to manipulate market prices to their advantage. By doing this they have extracted trillions per decade in wealth for themselves.
The boundaries are now moving; the world is shifting; the Transnational Crime Syndicate and its various franchisee affiliates the Americas, in Europe and in Asia are losing the control they've long enjoyed; they are losing control on the four specific fronts:
1. Finance. [follow @TheDebriefing17 for that one] The 'Epstein' Transnational Crime Syndicate Oligarch Class has been getting the living shit kicked out of its shadow black market international financing networks for around 10 years now; its just that hardly anybody tells you about it.
2. The Endless Conflicts. Shield of the Americas and The Board of Peace are already doing more in less than a year to shift the world from endless conflicts to peace than anything the UN and the CFR John Kerry types have done in the last 5 decades.
3. The Energy Rationing/Market Manipulation Scam. Trump is taking the proxy regimes they use for this away from them, starting in Venezuela and now currently with Iran. While taking their engergy rationing/insurance/market manipulation regimes away from them to free up all the 'choke points' and get the oil flowing freely as it always could have been...
4. Political control via color revolutions, rigged elections and unregistered foreign agents. To make the first 3 networks 'go' you bribe your way in and/or use debt to gain enough control to begin rigging the elections; and failing in that, you have your intelligence agencies engineer a coup, such as NATO did in Ukraine in 2014.
...the Trump White House is also moving on to the next step: promotion and implementation of nuclear tech to replace the old oil/gas paradigm.
If you thought the Epstein Class of Transnational Crime Syndicate Oligarch Family Pirates were pissed at Trump over what he'd done to them so far, I'd have LOVED to see their faces when they realized Trump was serious about this nuclear stuff.
Even as their shadow inflation of the profits they were reaping under the old oil/gas paradigm is ending, they are watching the new nuclear paradigm being constructed to replace it.
The Epstein Transnational Crime Syndicate Oligarch Family Big Club Pirates and all their franchisees around the world do not have control of this nuclear tech, or the construction of the new nuclear paradigm grid.
The Sovereign Alliance has control of it, and is doing and will continue to do the construction of it.
Understand?
The people who've exerted control of the world's finances, energy and 'conflict management' [read: Forever Wars] to suppress the world and keep it manageable for themselves as they ruthlessly looted the fuck out of it are losing control of all three of their most vital shadow networks.
No more shadow financial control.
No more shadow energy control.
No more shadow 'conflict management'.
No more shadow government rigged elections around the world, and especially not here in the USA.
Dark to Light.
Nothing can stop what is happening.

The propaganda shills have been out in full force attempting to dissuade the masses. They had nothing good to say about Trump in his first administration and absolutely nothing good in his 2nd. They're watching their empire fall apart piece by piece.
It's why the fake Russian dossier, E. Jean Carol - changing the law to 'fit the crime', saying he cheated the banks with loans and every other thing they could throw at him to bring him down and NOTHING has worked. They even tried assassination!
"NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT IS COMING" Q
Pop some corn and enjoy the show!
