[00:00] Trump sends this uh Coast Guard team, the Marines Coast Guard to go and seize this Venezuelan oil tank where they make this super cool video. This video looks so cool on my Facebook feed, bro. It looks so so badass on my Facebook feed, bro. It really Look at those Coast Guard go. This is like Call of Duty. This is like Call of Duty chopper view, sniper view, UAV view. This is so cool. We got

[00:30] the Contra VHS quality for the boomers. This is so cool. You know, you know, this is like complete propaganda because they they they use they basically give you they give you the UAV view. They give you like the sniper view. That's for that's for Ginz to try and convince Ginz that this is super badass. You've got the POV like you're in the you're in Call of Duty or in COD. And then for the boomers, they put it in the VHS quality uh to make it look like nostalgic like

[01:00] old war footage that they've seen when they were younger, when they were in their 30s and whatnot. And how do we know it's like complete? This is theater because the Houthis in Yemen have like 8K HD footage as they're seizing the uh the the Israeli tankers that are going through the Red Sea. The Houthis in Yemen have like 8D footage from every conceivable angle as they sees their tankers. But the US is trying to

[01:32] convince like boomers and stuff to support the war. 70% of Americans oppose war on Venezuela. 88% of Ginz opposes war on Venezuela. So, they're trying to put out this propaganda stuff to be like, "This is so cool, isn't it?" Um, [laughter] it's I don't know. It's like they're giving this Millennial Reich their VHS footage to try and remind them of their youth and and make this seem like it it's all super cool. Bro, this is this is such an unclassified vibe. Um, Maduro

[02:02] responded to the seizure of this tanker. He said they militarily assaulted and stole a civilian ship, kidnapped its crew like the Pirates of Caribbean. You know what's funny about this? Like Trump spent the last few weeks talking about Somali. Said Somali need to go back to Somalia, but we know they don't want to go back there because there's Somali pirates and it's a it's a [ __ ] hole country with the Somali pirates. And then one week later, he's he's doing uh US Coast Guard Somali pirate aesthetics

[02:34] where they're teasing Venezuelan oil tankers as they threaten to launch war on Venezuela over narot trafficking, but they're actually doing Somali >> Pirates of the Caribbean in real life. >> Pirates of the uh Caribbean style seizure of giant tankers. It's it's it's on Oh, this is all such a meme. It's so crazy. uh the US uh whatever her name is, Caroline Levit, she's um through her somehow someway through the overpowering force of her 500 Botox injections this

[03:07] week, she is explaining to Fox News that they are going to in fact take the oil. The vessel is undergoing a forfeite process right now. You notice how they make it sound super legal? They're like, "Well, it's it's going through the forfeit for forfeite process. You know, this is also legal. The forfeite process." No, you just went down there Somali pirate style Yemen style. They waged a war on Yemen for months on in, bombed countless civilians. I was there in Yemen. I saw I

[03:38] met with the civilians that they were bombing and they did this under the guise of protecting the free market in the Red Sea because US ships were being stopped in the Red Sea by the Houthis. So now they're just doing the same thing here, but they bombed Yemen for months on end because they did the same thing, you know. Um Mark Warner, I don't know who this guy is, probably some lib. He said, "So they can seize an oil tanker but not a drug boat." The lib's got a point. He makes a good point. Why can't they seize the drug boats if they can seize a whole tanker? Good point. Um

[04:09] also, the US announced new sanctions on Venezuela, on Maduro's nephews and six Venezuelan shipping companies. So, you know, it's all legal because there's they're sanctioning the shipping companies. So, it's legal now, right? It's totally normal and legal and not insane. Uh, US Admiral Hoy has stepped down. He was the admiral leading US Southcom, which was overseeing the Caribbean operations, Venezuela, Colombia, Trinidad, Tobago, Cuba, so on

[04:41] and so forth. He has officially stepped down on December 12th, yesterday. Uh, so this took place the same day that they seized. I guess as soon as he stepped down, they said, "Okay, well, now he's gone. We can He probably said something like, "If you seize a ship before I resigned, I will quit the next day and it will be even more embarrassing for you." So, they waited until like the very minute that he resigned. And then they went and seized the vessel and made this made this VHS tape uh stupid video propaganda video about it. Now I there's

[05:13] a lot of discussion as to why they are doing this. Why now? Why are they doing this? What is going on here? And I want to bring this point to your attention. Okay, so this is uh probably the biggest point of all as to why they're doing this right now. Venezuela, as you know, controls the world's largest oil reserves. They literally make the oil reserves of Saudi Arabia look like peanuts. Um 85% of Venezuela's oil

[05:46] exports right now are in $9 currencies. Venezuela does not export a lot of oil because the US has sanctioned them. they have cut off all possibilities for them to access the necessary chemicals, additives, machinery, so on and so forth to actually um process their own oil in mass. So the fear is if Venezuela can process their own oil in mass, this low-grade oil that they can uh they can take out

[06:17] of the ground in their country in very large quantities, larger quantities than any country on the earth, and they begin to export that to countries all across the world, it is very likely that the vast majority of that oil will not be going to the United States. Now, the US has allowed Chevron to do business there. They account for 25% of Venezuela's oil exports on a daily basis. And Maduro's been very chill with the idea of giving Chevron and everyone else more oil, more oil deals. If if

[06:49] it's fair, if it's transparent, if it's equal, uh they're not getting ripped off in Venezuela. He said, "I wish that Chevron could have a 100-year lease to do business in our country. I want I wish Trump would allow that, but it's the US that is blocking oil companies from doing substantial business in Venezuela, not Maduro. You get the idea here. Um, so if the US continues the blocking of US companies to do business in Venezuela, that oil will be going to other countries. It will be going to China. It'll be going to who knows

[07:20] where. It's going to be going to countries like India who who can do non-doll trade, right? 80% of Venezuela's oil exports today are priced in the pro- yuan. The pro- yuan, not the pro dollar. You see how this is a fear for the United States? You understand that the United States, the first thing that the United States did when we went into Baghdad, we said, "All right, we're going to change some that Saddam was doing. We're going to put uh all all of

[07:53] Iraqi oil exports on the petro dollar. Okay? Hey, we're going to we're going to add it back to the petro dollar. That was the first executive order that the Bush administration signed when they went into Baghdad. What What did we go into Libya for? Can anyone remind me? Oh, yeah. It was because Gaddafi was working to build a new pan-African currency, Panaffrican political unity, Panaffrican economic unity. So Africa would no longer be subservient to um uh

[08:23] French uh currencies uh to uh I guess like uh CFA Franc uh in the case of the Sahel, uh they would no longer be subservient to the dollar [snorts] and that was a big no no. And the US said, "Gaddafi must go. We came, we saw, we conquered." Isn't that what Hillary Clinton said? What is her quote? We came, we saw, we took out Gaddafi, some dumb [ __ ] like that. Pokemon go to the Pokemon went to Libya and destroyed their country. Now they have slave markets. Well, think about this. If they

[08:55] did that because of the threat that Libya posed, if they did that because of the threat that Iraq posed, imagine what they will do to stop Venezuela, the world's largest oil producer or sorry, the world's largest oil reserve nation and what could be the world's largest oil producer if they are allowed to sovereign develop in a sovereign manner what they will do to stop Venezuela from trading their oil in the proan or doing um you know Venezuelan um Venezuelan currency to rupee currency

[09:28] deals. This is a big no no for the United States and they will do anything to stop it. Now the other thing here is that Venezuela is not a BRICS member. A lot of people think Venezuela is a BRICS member but actually the US forced Brazil under Lula to block Venezuela from joining as a BRICS member in Kazan Russia at the uh 2024 bricks summit. Right? If Venezuela were to become a BRICS member, that would mean that BRICS

[09:59] would then control 67% of the world's oil reserves. If Venezuela joined BRICS, bricks would control bricks and bricks partners nations would would control 67% of the world's oil reserves. Right now, BRICS and the partner states control 50% of the world's oil reserves and output. With Venezuela, it would be 60 67% clear majority and of course they'd be more inclined to help Venezuela obviously

[10:29] develop the the means to process that lowgrade oil in that case. Uh but already China is doing that. John Kuryaku describes this threat to the US to the petro dollar and why the US wants to stop Venezuela from developing their oil resources, their processing because of the threat it would pose to the dollar. Take a listen to what he has to say here. I think that I think really what we're seeing here is a slow motion

[10:59] response or a delayed response to China's decision five years ago to build uh an oil refinery in the Caribbean. And the reason I say that is Venezuela has very very dirty oil. They have an ocean of it, but it's very high in sulfur content and it needs it needs significant um uh chemical distillation >> refining >> refining to not Yeah. And you can't even use it to turn into gasoline for your cars. It's mostly made into home heating

[11:29] oil because it's so dirty and high in sulfur. Well, until just >> keep in mind there's a very famous story of when uh some US cities, impoverished US cities had like major blackouts during winter. Venezuela under Ugo Chavez actually provided energy to those struggling American families for free. That's the type of evil state that Venezuela is. You know, just giving oil to struggling or giving uh energy to struggling Americans to help them power their homes in the dead set of winter

[12:00] when they had no energy. Five or six years ago, the only place that you could refine that oil was in Houston, Texas. We built refineries that were specialized just to handle Venezuelan oil. But then of course we sanctioned the Venezuelan oil industry. Well, the Venezuelans didn't then just shut down their oil industry. The Indians and the Chinese built new refineries to handle Venezuelan oil and they ship the oil there. The Chinese are swimming in money. And so they decided instead of shipping the Venezuelan oil all the way

[12:31] to China, they'll just build the refinery in the Caribbean, refine it right there, and ship it out from the Caribbean. And the United States doesn't like that. So the bottom line here, I think, is China. >> I agree. I mean, there's there's other reasons. Maria Maria Karina Machado is a raging Zionist. Um, she called on Israel to invade and liberate Venezuela from Maduro. She's the Nobel Peace Prize winner. Uh, she's a very big liberal. She wants to put the LGBT values in

[13:03] Venezuela. Catholic country. um overwhelming Catholic country. Uh, of course, you know, Venezuela, it's about China, it's about the oil, it's about the petro dollar, it's about all of this stuff. It's about Venezuela simply saying that we want to develop in our own sovereign manner. And if they were allowed to do that without war being thrust upon them, it would succeed and it would then prompt other countries in Latin America to say, "Hey, Venezuela is so successful. They are the epicenter of

[13:36] [snorts] the multi-olar uh civilization of Latin America that is showing true sovereign success and we want to be a part of that. And then slowly but surely you have other countries say hey United States we don't want to live under your we don't want to have your boot on our neck as well. So we're going to do what Venezuela did one by one by one until there's no one left. Okay, that is what is going on here. And that is why Venezuela is a threat because they said, "We're done with the US Empire. We're going to go in our own

[14:06] way. We're going to look for our own partners and we're not going to use the pro dollar in the process."
