Trump is not a “dictator.” He is not unique or special. Trump is just an overt and grotesque version of what every USA president has always been.
Do not be tricked into believing that ridding ourselves of Trump will fundamentally change this country.
President Donald Trump has said the U.S. will revisit its stance on Greenland in the coming weeks.
Asked if he expected to take action on the strategic island, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday: “Let’s talk about Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine. We’ll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days.”
@edgarblythe,
I think this piece needs doubling down.

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy."
This is about the petrodollar system that has kept America the dominant economic power for 50 years. And Venezuela just threatened to end it.
Here's what really just happened:
Venezuela has 303 billion barrels of proven oil reserves.
The largest on Earth.
More than Saudi Arabia.
20% of the entire world's oil.
But here's the part that matters:
Venezuela was actively selling that oil in Chinese yuan. Not dollars.
In 2018, Venezuela announced it would "free itself from the dollar."
They started accepting yuan, euros, rubles, anything BUT dollars for oil.
They were petitioning to join BRICS.
They were building direct payment channels with China that bypass SWIFT entirely.
And they were sitting on enough oil to fund de-dollarization for decades.
Why does this matter?
Because the entire American financial system is built on one thing:
The petrodollar.
In 1974, Henry Kissinger made a deal with Saudi Arabia:
All oil sold globally must be priced in US dollars.
In exchange, America provides military protection.
This single agreement created artificial demand for dollars worldwide.
Every country on Earth needs dollars to buy oil.
This lets America print unlimited money while other countries work for it.
It funds the military. The welfare state. The deficit spending.
The petrodollar is more important to US hegemony than aircraft carriers.
And there's a pattern of what happens to leaders who challenge it:
2000: Saddam Hussein announces Iraq will sell oil in euros instead of dollars.
2003: Invaded. Regime change. Iraq's oil immediately switched back to dollars. Saddam lynched.
The WMDs were never found because they never existed.
2009: Gaddafi proposes a gold-backed African currency called the "gold dinar" for oil trade.
Hillary Clinton's own leaked emails confirm this was the PRIMARY reason for intervention.
Email quote: "This gold was intended to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar."
2011: NATO bombs Libya. Gaddafi sodomized and murdered. Libya now has open slave markets.
"We came, we saw, he died!" Clinton laughed on camera.
The gold dinar died with him.
And now Maduro.
With FIVE TIMES more oil than Saddam and Gaddafi combined.
Actively selling in yuan.
Building payment systems outside dollar control.
Petitioning to join BRICS.
Partnered with China, Russia, and Iran.
The three countries leading global de-dollarization.
This isn't coincidence.
Challenge the petrodollar. Get regime changed.
Every. Single. Time.
Stephen Miller (US homeland security advisor) literally said it out loud two weeks ago:
"American sweat, ingenuity and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property."
He's not hiding it.
They're claiming Venezuelan oil BELONGS to America because US companies developed it 100 years ago.
By this logic, every nationalized resource in history was "theft."
But here's the DEEPER problem:
The petrodollar is already dying.
Russia sells oil in rubles and yuan since Ukraine.
Saudi Arabia is openly discussing yuan settlements.
Iran has been trading in non-dollar currencies for years.
China built CIPS, their own alternative to SWIFT with 4,800 banks in 185 countries.
BRICS is actively building payment systems that bypass the dollar entirely.
The mBridge project lets central banks settle trades instantly in local currencies.
Venezuela joining BRICS with 303 billion barrels of oil would accelerate this exponentially.
That's what this invasion is really about.
Not stopping drugs. Venezuela accounts for less than 1% of US cocaine.
Not terrorism. There's zero evidence Maduro runs a "terror organization."
Not democracy. The US supports Saudi Arabia, which has zero elections.
This is about maintaining a 50-year-old agreement that lets America print money while the world works for it.
And the consequences are terrifying:
Russia, China, and Iran are already denouncing this as "armed aggression."
China is Venezuela's biggest oil customer. They're losing billions.
BRICS nations are watching a country get invaded for trading outside the dollar.
Every nation considering de-dollarization just got the message:
Challenge the dollar and we will bomb you.
But here's the problem...
That message might accelerate de-dollarization, not stop it.
Because now every country in the Global South knows what happens if you threaten dollar hegemony.
And they're realizing the only protection is to move FASTER.
The timing is insane too:
January 3rd, 2026. Venezuela invaded. Maduro captured.
January 3rd, 1990. Panama invaded. Noriega captured.
36 years apart. Almost to the day.
Same playbook. Same "drug trafficking" excuse.
Same real reason: control of strategic resources and trade routes.
History doesn't repeat. But it rhymes.
What happens next:
Trump's press conference at Mar-a-Lago sets the narrative.
US oil companies are already lined up. Politico reported they've been approached about "returning to Venezuela."
The opposition will be installed. Oil will flow in dollars again.
Venezuela becomes another Iraq. Another Libya.
But here's what nobody's asking:
What happens when you can no longer bomb your way to dollar dominance?
When China has enough economic leverage to retaliate?
When BRICS controls 40% of global GDP and says "no more dollars"?
When the world realizes the petrodollar is maintained by violence?
America just showed its hand.
The question is whether the rest of the world folds or calls the bluff.
Because this invasion is an admission that the dollar can no longer compete on its own merits.
When you have to bomb countries to keep them using your currency, the currency is already dying.
Venezuela isn't the beginning.
It's the desperate end.
The charges against Maduro reads like an Onion piece.
🚨The White House Announced They Will Attack and Steal Greenland Live on CNN and Dared Anyone to Stop Them.
Stephen Miller calls sovereignty “international niceties,” and his wife, Katie Miller, posts a U.S.-flag Greenland map captioned “SOON.”
The last few days have felt like the world’s guardrails snapping in real time. First Venezuela. Now Greenland. And on national television, senior officials in the Trump administration are saying the quiet part out loud: the United States can take what it wants because nobody can stop it.
And if you think I’m exaggerating, listen to Stephen Miller’s own words in the video above.
Now let’s talk about what just happened on CNN—and why Denmark is warning it could end NATO.
Stephen Miller went on CNN and, when pressed about whether the U.S. might use military force to take Greenland, he said: “Nobody’s going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.”
That sentence is not policy. It’s a threat.
Then he laid out his worldview in the bluntest terms: “We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power.” And then: “These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
And this isn’t only rhetoric from a podium. The propaganda is already being mass-produced. Over the weekend, Katie Miller—Stephen Miller’s wife—posted an image of Greenland shaded with the American flag and captioned it “SOON.” That isn’t diplomacy. That isn’t policy debate. That is conquest messaging. It is the casual, social-media version of annexation—treating another people’s land like a product launch and daring the world to get used to it.
That is the philosophy of empire. It’s not even dressed up anymore.
And Miller didn’t stop at Greenland. He also repeated the administration’s Venezuela line—saying the U.S. is running Venezuela and dismissing sovereignty and treaties as “international niceties.” That phrase is chilling, because it tells you exactly what they think of international law: a decorative suggestion for weaker countries.
Then he went further and described how domination works: “We set the terms and conditions,” he said. “We have a complete embargo on all of their oil and their ability to do commerce. So for them to do commerce, they need our permission. For them to be able to run an economy, they need our permission. So the United States is in charge. The United States is running the country.”
That’s not “foreign policy.” That’s a colonial governor talking.
And if you want the clearest evidence that the world understands exactly how dangerous this is, Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, has now warned that a U.S. attack on Greenland would cause the end of NATO.
She said the threats are unacceptable pressure—and she added: “I believe that he means it.” Then she said something every American should read twice: “If the United States were to choose to attack another NATO country, then everything would come to an end.” She warned that NATO and “democratic rules of the game” would collapse if one NATO country attacked another.
That’s where we are. A NATO ally is publicly saying: America is threatening the foundation of the alliance.
And here’s the part that should make your stomach drop: Denmark is not reacting to a hypothetical anymore. Denmark is reacting to the fact that Trump just demonstrated he’s willing to use force to seize leaders and dictate outcomes—starting with Venezuela—and now his top aide is saying Greenland is simply there for the taking.
Imperialism and colonialism—defined plainly
Let me define two terms in a way a teenager can understand, and a historian won’t roll their eyes.
Imperialism is when a powerful country uses force, threats, sanctions, or coercion to control weaker countries—their politics, their economy, their leadership—because it serves the empire’s interests.
Colonialism is when that domination becomes even more direct: the powerful country treats another people’s land and resources like property—to be taken, managed, and exploited—often with “security” and “civilization” as the cover story.
Now read Miller again. Read Trump again. Read Denmark again.
That’s what’s happening.
Venezuela was the test. Greenland is the headline. The doctrine is bigger than both.
The Trump administration bombed Venezuela, seized its president and first lady, and then Trump publicly said the U.S. would “run” the country until a “transition.” Then he said U.S. oil companies would move in and “start making money.”
That wasn’t a gaffe. That was a plan.
And now you have Miller going on CNN and saying the U.S. can seize Greenland because nobody will fight us for it.
That isn’t “defense.” It’s a territorial hunger dressed in a suit.
And it’s part of a broader ideological push inside Trump-world: a belief that the U.S. should be able to overthrow governments, take resources, and annex territory if it’s in “the national interest.”
In plain language: might makes right.
Family, if you’ve been feeling like international law has been collapsing in slow motion, you’re not imagining it.
Gaza taught the world the rules are optional for the powerful.
For over two years, the world has watched Gaza be destroyed. We have watched starvation be used as a weapon. We have watched hospitals attacked. We have watched aid workers killed. We have watched journalists buried. We have watched mass suffering explained away with PR language.
We have watched the U.N. issue statements while the strongest governments on earth supply weapons and veto consequences.
So when Miller calls sovereignty “international niceties,” he is voicing what the world has been forced to learn: rules without enforcement are theater.
And now that same contempt for the rules is being aimed outward—at Latin America, at the Arctic, and at anyone the administration decides is weak enough to bully.
What Miller said is also a confession about economic warfare
Miller’s Venezuela comments weren’t only military. They were economic.
“We have a complete embargo on all of their oil and their ability to do commerce.”
That’s the model: starve a country’s economy, make survival conditional on compliance, then call it “stability.”
That is collective punishment at the level of a nation.
And it has a dirty secret: it’s perfect for plausible deniability. Because when people suffer, the empire says, “It’s their leaders’ fault.” When collapse comes, the empire says, “We’re here to help.” When resources get extracted, the empire says, “It will make them rich.”
That’s colonialism’s oldest lie: we’re taking control for your benefit.
Greenland is not for sale because Greenland is not a product
Greenland has a people. Greenland has a government. Greenland has history and language and sovereignty. Greenland is not a mineral catalog. It is not a chess square. It is not an American acquisition.
And Denmark is right: if the U.S. turns NATO into a club where the strongest member can threaten the others, NATO becomes meaningless.
But the deeper issue is even more frightening than NATO: a world where the U.S. treats borders as suggestions and weaker nations as targets is a world where instability becomes permanent.
This is how the world gets pulled into chaos on purpose
When empire acts like this, it doesn’t only reshape the map. It reshapes behavior.
Other countries arm up. Alliances fracture. Proxy conflicts grow. International institutions lose credibility. And the “iron laws” mindset becomes contagious: if the strongest can take, others will try too.
That’s how you get a planet governed by force instead of law.
That’s what Miller is advocating, smiling into a camera, treating it like realism.
It’s not realism. It’s a disaster.
And it’s also deeply revealing that Miller can say these things on American television without the host shutting it down with the most basic moral question: Do you hear yourself? Do you understand what you are admitting? Do you understand what you are threatening?
A line has to be drawn
If the U.S. can seize Venezuela and talk openly about “running” it, and then threaten Greenland—then the only question left is: who’s next?
And that’s not paranoia. That’s the logical consequence of an administration whose senior officials believe the world is governed by force and that “international niceties” don’t matter.
I’m going to keep naming this clearly. I’m going to keep refusing the euphemisms. And I’m going to keep making sure this work stays free for the world—especially in a time when powerful people are trying to rewrite reality itself.
Netanyahu’s Judge DIES IN SUSPICIOUS ACCIDENT!

How Democrats' Support for Genoicde Set The Table for Trump's Military Adventurism:
For 15 months Democrats sent weapons to Israel as they perpetrated genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine, excusing war crime after war crime. Bombing a hospital? It was a mistake. Bombing and murdering a convoy of World Central Kitchen aid workers, including an American? Let's wait till all the evidence is in.
Each time Israel committed another atrocity, the Biden-Harris administration made excuses. Let's wait and see. Isreal has a right to defend itself. Let's wait till the results of Israel's investigation are in.
And the Democrat supporters in Congress went along.
No regard for international law, no regard for "norms". Biden drew a red line in Rafa, Israel ignored it. Rinse. Repeat
The Democratic Party set the table for Trump's actions in Venezuela. Norms are meaningless. International law is meaningless. A leader can do whatever they chose- if their military is powerful enough.
We warned that if the genocide were allowed to stand, that Gaza wouldn't be the only place that suffered. We warned that we were creating a new template for foreign plunder. Kamala Harris' response was to tell us "Shh! I'm speaking!!"
Harris supporters online tried to silence us. The National Democratic Party tried to erase the Muslim community entirely - they wouldn't even let a Muslim American who was a Democrat stand on the conventoon stage and address the nation.
This genocide has not only devastated families in Gaza and the West Bank as well as Lebanon, it has set a precedent for all future military actions that will not be easily overturned.
Their are no guard rails anymore.

HERE ARE A FEW FACTS ABOUT VENEZUELA OMITTED BY THE ZIONIST OWNED USA MEDIA:
1.They never mentioned that 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the torture to death of Delcy Rodriguez's father, socialist activist Jorge Rodríguez, by the C.I.A.-backed security services of the U.S.-aligned Pérez regime in Venezuela.
2. Nor did they mention that the elected governments of Hugo Chávez reduced extreme poverty by over 70 percent, reduced poverty by 50 percent, halved unemployment, quadrupled the number receiving a state pension and achieved 100 percent literacy. Chávez took Venezuela from the most unequal society for wealth distribution in Latin America to the most equal.
3.Nor have they mentioned that María Corina Machado [the
"darling" who gave her Nobel Prize to Trump] is from one of Venezuela’s wealthiest families, which dominated the electricity and steel industries before nationalisation, and that her backers are the very families that were behind those C.I.A.-controlled murderous regimes.

Stupid accusation that Venezuela is a major production or trafficking point for narcotics entering the U.S.A. is simply a nonsense. Nicolás Maduro has his faults, but he is not a drug trafficking kingpin. The claim is utter garbage.
“The kidnap of Maduro, the rush of Western powers to accept it, and the inability of the rest of the world to do anything about it, have underlined that international law is simply dead.” - Craig Murray. I agree but it has been dead at least since Oct 7, 2023 ifi not before.
