With Maduro as dictator, CNN running crisis segments, who was buying Venezuela?

Through the same laundering networks that have operated for 50 years.

Read that again.
The largest theft of American property in the history of our country.
The math makes it real. Venezuela sits on 303 billion barrels of crude oil reserves. At current prices, that is more than $17 trillion.
Saudi Arabia: 30 years of oil reserves remaining
Venezuela: 300+ years

Tore identified INGA .Integrated Networked Governance Architecture. The invisible system operating above governments. Power distributed across nodes: international institutions, private foundations, development banks, NGOs, standards bodies, AI governance systems. Sovereignty outsourced before anyone notices it’s gone. Accountability evaporating because no single actor appears in charge.
Venezuela was its Western Hemisphere beachhead. CCP infrastructure. USAID parallel governance. Congressional financial capture. Foundation laundering networks. Dominion vote systems. All nodes in the same architecture.

Yeah, that's a lot, but it didn’t belong to us.
The “theft” from America would be the illegal cancellation of contracts that gave lifting fees to American companies. I’d be surprised if that came to $500 billion.

I have fallen in love with the Marshall Plan!!

The very crude that powers American military operations. The energy security China threatened to control. The strategic asset Biden’s administration was prepared to concede.
In twelve hours, the United States secured control of energy reserves worth four times the GDP of Japan. Reserves worth more than the entire economy of almost every nation on Earth. Energy reserves the CCP spent twenty-five years trying to capture through debt diplomacy.

Very surprised China hasn’t killed Trump. If they could turn back time you know they would.

Ok.
All of the equipment to extract the oil was put there by US oil companies, and they should be allowed to go reclaim it.
Problem solved.

They probably figured democrats would do it for them.

The article claims "Paraguay next? Old Bush family infrastructure. Triple Frontier. CIA ratlines that became drug routes.
If Venezuela was the CCP’s Western Hemisphere front door, Paraguay is the back door."
This is going to be a doooooozy!!

No doubt. But that’s not $17 trillion which was my point. It was an idiotic claim.

Nope. But when US companies show up to pull the equipment, I promise sweetheart deals will be thrown at them.

The oil companies have obviously learned from prior "nationalization" efforts. One thing is clear, the Orinoco must keep flowing for stability of the reserve. Maybe kill switches are involved and technology is classified regarding procurement in order to end nationalization efforts going forward.
Fat hogs get slaughtered and no need for greed. This much energy can make an entire hemisphere very happy for an extended period of time!!

The world demand with historical growth built in. I know, we are not running out anytime soon. To be quite honest, I am on the abiotic side anyway.

Buddy, that equipment is worthless if it even exists. Communists can’t maintain anything because no one owns it. They are going to have to get cash or contracts to make up for that.

Missing the point that there’s nothing else there to get the oil out of the ground. Crap equipment is better than no equipment.
I’ve read that they haven’t maintained the original equipment, and that’s impacted their output. But they have output. Take the equipment and they have nothing.
The equipment, and the capability to replace it, and the current knowledge to operate wells, are all leverage.
