Trump Elected: The True MAGA Era Begins, Now What?

[axj]

I didn't say it wasn't about drugs. Two things can be true at the same time.

You said it is about drugs:

Hyperbolic nonsense at this point. Trump wants to get the flow of drugs into the US under control. Americans don't want fentanyl coming in. He's giving Americans what they want. If the Venezuelan authorities won't do anything about the drug cartels using their country to do that, is it any surprise Trump is threatening them? And how is that a bad thing?

Again, if Trump was serious about stopping maritime drug trafficking he would not focus on Venezuela, which is not a major transit country for drugs. So it does not seem to be about drugs at all, other than Trump trying to present it as such at home.

Furthermore, fentanyl does not seem to come through or from Venezuela at all. That is mostly coming from China and India (precursors) and through Mexico.

What you're missing is the political angle. Trump wants to pressure Maduro into "playing ball" with the US economically.

There may be much more to what Maduro is involved in then the public has heard so far. We all have our opinions on things but the truth of the matter is we aren't clued in to the facts in many aspects of events leading to assumptions and bias interpretations. If we're lucky more of the facts and truth will be exposed with time. I write this as a comment on the general topic of Venezuela here and not specifically about what Beau has said who has been giving insightful comments.

One rather clear indication that this is in fact so, is that the boat or ship allegedly carrying drugs was blown to pieces, as far as I know, eliminating the possibility to actually check for and see those supposed drugs. So everybody and their dogs were left to just believe the words and explanations given to them on a face value. Such MO strikingly reminds me on some other desert country, as Adam on NewsReal described it, which more or less pulls the strings of the US governments and foreign policies for quite some time now.

In this whirlwind of psy ops what cannot be disguised Amerika that used to be called the Land of the Free , is today Jury , Judge , Prosecutor and Executioner. No need to leave any proof behind . Just blow the boat to smithereens.
Since when is war a problem ? Only unprofitable wars are.
Now that its interference with strings attached has met a strong response around the globe , it chooses to believe that Venezuela that has plenty of oil , emeralds ,gold and rare earths will be a walk about. If carried out
Another huge mistake is on its horizon but
That is where frustration and habit leads.
Amerika's boot on the South American face : Mejico , Haiti , Granada , Chile , Nicaragua , Cuba , El Salvador, Panama , Guatemala , La Republica Dominicana . Amerika loves war.

I didn't know that Venezuela and the US used to be good buddies back in the day.

This video provides some context that helps frame current events.

Essentially Venezuela is taking a very aggressive stance against the US for example, it has military alliances with Russia and Iran, to the extent that Iranian drones are being developed in Venezuela (the same drones Russia is using in Ukraine), plus Venezuela has LOADS of oil etc.

I think drugs is the "in" for Trump, but really the goal is regime change, as per usual.

The claim here is that the US could issue stablecoins (digital dollars backed by US Treasury bonds) to attract global buyers, effectively borrowing money to cover its $35T debt. Then, by devaluing the dollar (e.g., via inflation), the US reduces the debt's real value, leaving foreign holders with less valuable assets. Russia sees this as a sneaky way to shift the burden.

And really, this is another Trump move that's mainly about optics and vibes. Just like renaming Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. He's not about to turn into some warmonger blitzing through Central and South America taking over countries. He's not going to start ordering every random big boat to be bombed either. He makes calculated moves that are as much about creating political capital than anything else. So it's good to see that Vance "doesn't give a shit." People should be happy that there are finally leaders who are through with that nonsense and are being straight instead of the two-faced liars who have run the US for 80 years.

I don't think much has changed. He's just pretending not to be a warmonger and uses excuses as reasons for aggression. He's not really leading, he's complying with what others want and uses "optics" to get away with it, or to continue to get support. A lot of people have lost faith and respect for Trump after the Epstein files debarcle as well as his refusal to stop funding foreign wars.

He's a dissapointing eyeopener for many.

Another point of view on this. Kirk Elliot says China and Russia are ticked off that Trumps tariffs and stable coin plans are messing up their strategy and all Trump is trying to do is level the playing field. Not crash us into oblivion I'd add.... we don't want that!

So everybody and their dogs were left to just believe the words and explanations given to them on a face value.

From the comments:
Judge Napolitano having an interview with former CIA guys. They think this is a scam created by Trump.

Larry Johnson, Ray McGovern, and the Judge do a credible job of casting aspersions on the official drug boat bombing scenario. It doesn't add up and it's highly questionable if it was even a real event or actually AI. It's the initial discussion in this vid on BitChute:



Interestingly enough, a rerun of Season 2 Episode 23 of NCIS New Orleans, has a submarine used to kill a Navy diver with speculation that the sub is being used to run drugs. Does it make more sense to use subs instead of boats to smuggle drugs and if so, is that the rule rather than the exception? And what - nobody uses planes anymore? And just a reminder concerning smuggling drugs into our country - let's not forget the Bush-Clinton Mena Cocaine Connection; it cost Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist Gary Webb his life.

Excerpts:

The atrocities and crimes of the Bush family, headed by George Herbert Walker Bush, are unspeakable and unimaginable in depravity and scale.

• Decades of war, war crimes, and treason.
• Global narcotics trafficking, money laundering, fraud and financial looting.
• Mass murder, assassination; the extermination of political enemies and whistleblowers.
• The absolute criminalization of military and intelligence agencies, and the corruption of entire governments, across all political parties.
• Devastation and violence in every corner of the planet, from the killing fields of Asia to the Middle East and Latin America, to the United States itself.
• The institutionalization of terrorism, criminal cover-up and The Big Lie.

"[...] When George Bush, [CIA Director] Bill Casey and Oliver North initiated their plan of government-sanctioned fraud and drug smuggling, they envisioned using 500 men to raise $35 billion….they ended up using about 5,000 operatives and making over $35 billion.” In addition, the operation became “a government within a government, comprising some thirty to forty thousand people the American government turns to, when it wishes certain illegal covert operations to be extant pursuant to a political objective” with George [H.W.] Bush “at the top of the pyramid”.
[...]

“all of these structures revolved around [creating] the secret command role of the then-Vice President, George Bush…The Bush apparatus, within and behind the government, was formed to carry out covert policies: to make war when the constitutional government had decided not to make war; to support enemies of the nation (terrorists and drug runners) who are the friends and agents of the secret government.”
[...]

“it stood, and still stands today, isolated and immune from the operating principles of democracy. It is autonomous and it operates through self-funding via narcotics and weapons trafficking. To quote [former CIA director] William Casey it is ‘a completely self-funding, off-the-shelf operation.’ It, in fact, dictates a substantial portion of this country’s foreign, economic and military policy from a place not accessible to the will of a free people properly armed with facts.”

CIA deep cover agent pilot Chip Tatum, a key Iran-Contra player who flew drugs into Mena and Little Rock in Arkansas, worked alongside CIA pilot and drug smuggler Barry Seal. Seal was one of the central operatives, whose CIA career and work in Mena are detailed in Daniel Hopsicker’s Barry & The Boys: The CIA, the Mob and America’s Secret History. It is believed that Seal was subsequently murdered by the Medellin Cartel, on the order of Oliver North and the Bushes, to prevent him from testifying about his activities. Before he was killed, Seal provided Tatum a list of Iran-Contra “Boss Hogs” who controlled the drug trade. The Pegasus File summaries Tatum’s activities, and features the “Boss Hog” list. George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton feature prominently.

From Rodney Stich’s Drugging America:

“Mena became famous in the 1980s for the arms and drugs shipping through this western Arkansas airport by the CIA and other government agencies. It involved Oliver North, Vice President and then President George Bush, Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton and others who became involved in covert activities…My CIA sources indicate that the profits from drug sales far exceeded what was needed for these [black] operations. They report that most of the profits are hidden in offshore financial institutions, and much of these funds come back in well-disguised forms and corporations, acquiring properties and businesses of all types…My CIA contacts described Bush’s heavy involvement in Central American operations in which drug trafficking constituted a major role.”

Mena, Arkansas was the key transit points for cocaine coming into the United States from Central America, and weapons going the other way. The Rose Law Firm, of which Hillary Clinton and Webster Hubbell were senior partners, negotiated contracts for the CIA in Mena, Arkansas, and helped set up numerous fraudulent CIA fronts for cocaine and weapons transit. The very structure of the Arkansas state government was altered to accommodate the Enterprise. The Clinton-created Arkansas Development and Financing Authority engaged in money laundering on a mass scale.

All attempts to prosecute were largely unsuccessful—blocked, stalled, or given a “limited hangout” treatment. As written by Mike Ruppert, one of many Iran-Contra whistleblowers, in Crossing the Rubicon:

“Iran-Contra was effectively ‘managed’ by Lee Hamilton in the House [of Representatives] and John Kerry (among others) in the Senate throughout the late 1980s to conceal the greatest crimes of the era, crimes committed by a litany of well-known government operatives.”

The operation, in essence, evolved and metastasized into ever-more modern and sophisticated incarnation with even more global reach. New names, new banks, new drugs, new wars, same blueprint. It is not a “deep state” or a “shadow state” but a Criminal State that operates “in broad daylight”. It is the playbook of the New World Order. It is globalization at its finest.

The world is in flames. Corruption is rampant. The CIA is more powerful than ever. Terrorism, drugs and weapons flow freely through more geostrategic hot spots than ever. This is a “golden age for drug trafficking”. All of it can be traced back to Iran-Contra, the Bushes, and the Clintons.

Well worth the brief time to read the whole thing:

Excellent with mind-blowing facts in the concluding minutes. Had to laugh at Michael Chertoff's role in the Senate Banking Committee's questioning of Dan Lasater, part of the ongoing Whitewater investigation. One shyster grilling another one.

Just for kicks (or masochists) - [2:36:35]

Anybody who thinks this boat bombing was in any way a real blow to drug trafficking into America needs to wake up and smell the coffee - theatrical grandstanding at its best - and either entirely fake or absolutely not what it's being said to be. Another point, China isn't going to just stand by should Venezuela regime change become an actual actionable engagement. Saw something on this, but didn't save it.

As the War on Terror fades - particularly with its former targets now officially blessed and ensconced in Syria - the War on Drugs takes top position and visibility. Why keep falling for all the tricks and believing Trump couldn't possibly be duped into fomenting a necessary ruse. It's being thought more and more that it's less New World Order and more Technocracy - and Trump fits that bill to a T based on the company he keeps or so it seems. Let's keep paying attention right and left and maybe stop carrying water for the Trump we hoped we were getting.

The Cs have said the US is beyond the point of no return and when one figures in all the many ways fraud, corruption, and just plain evil is proliferating, is there any reason to doubt such a sad and tragic outcome. I have to wonder, though, if it's all been a big scam - the entire Biden takedown of our country with Trump being cast as the knight in shining armor charging in to save the day! NWO order or Technocracy - aren't they both agendas that will leave the general population under a form of slavery - the ever longed-for desire to reinstate feudalism with its nobles and peasants? Guess which category most of us will be in presuming we're still breathing.

This is interesting, because this was discussed in remote viewing circles way before Genius Act. There are differences though, and I wonder how this will develop. The first is that there will be a deliberate economic crash, so the onboarding will not be gradual (although if we judge inflation by the gold price, all the fiat currencies devalued massively in a very short time already). Next thing is that stablecoins will probably be asset-backed (a basket of goods like gold and tokenized shares in state-owned companies), rather than debt, and the debt will be massively devalued (repriced at 20% or so). This will also help with (neo)dollarization, as governments will not have any control over dollar reserves when retail decides to use stablecoins (X as a WeChat?); consumers will be holding them directly. Lastly, stablecoins will shine as a control system; even when some regional cataclysm causes some governments to dissipate, the global consensus mechanism will still be able to settle transactions, gather taxes from them, allow some individuals to participate or not, apply geofencing, etc. It's essentially everything we feared about CBDCs, but not in the hands of inept, Eurocrat-style politicians—instead, it's a very resilient accounting system controlled by technocrats and shadowy conglomerates.

I didn't say it wasn't about drugs. Two things can be true at the same time.

It is a bad thing because Venezuela is not a significant transit country,

Yes, there is a mafia in Venezuela, that's not new having Colombia as neighbors. It's just no worse than Colombia or Mexico. And that doesn't date back to when Chávez became president. He has more years than all of us combined (laughs), I mean, many years before socialism and much more.

It is not good to believe in everything negative or in everything positive that is said in the news. In this case, which part is true and which part is a distorted version of the truth?

I worked for the government as a simple photographer for quite a while, and yet it's horrible how many areas are controlled by "deals/business" between the government and the "do your business but don't go crazy" type mafias. Obviously, there is everything in those deals when the mafia over passes the governmental control.

I don't mean by this that I know everything, but without a doubt, it is possible to know much more than the average citizen who only watches the news. Venezuela is not a traffic-free zone, it's just less worse than other countries.

But that is not a major reason for what the United States is doing today. But it takes that part of the truth/reality about Venezuela and distorts it to its convenience, even if it is not a country with a very high rate of drug trafficking.

In fact, if the government makes a deal with cartels, which are mostly Colombian, what do you expect to happen?. What we are seeing.

Who killed one of Iran's leaders? Colombian mercenaries.

From Latin America, where are a lot of mercenaries in Ukraine from? Colombians.

Claudia Sheinbaum went out smiling with Marco Rubio and her first action was to attack China with the tariff war and one day later it is discovered that there are Mexican cartels trained by NATO in Ukraine and Dmitri Medvedev already had time making that warning call.

After so many days that Claudia S. was showing that she stood firm to the USA, shouting "no submission, yes to dialogue", ironically appeared with brainwashed and smiling declaring as "successful meeting" with Marco Rubio's older psychopath.

What do you think happened? the typical thing, they will have dawned on their family among other things. But Mexico all his life and unfortunately he has no choice but to play "pull and shrink" with the USA.

Lula doesn't even know when it's his turn to play. First that he is against the positioning of ships in the Caribbean and days later he says "I am in favor of peace" what peace?who is the peaceful? there are only two sides and it is very evident who is not the one who is carrying the flag of peace.

Pawns of psychopaths and their vague "neither with one nor with the other" comments.

It should not be a surprise to anyone that Maduro has already lasted too long in Venezuela and that is a big obstacle. They should just take it out of the game, everything else is tools to use it in that goal. Put together the matrix of opinion as with Libya and that's it.

I've had a feeling for years that this will happen internally. The blockade that they are currently doing in the Caribbean Sea, it seems to me that it will be to block foreign aid once the country is in total chaos due to lack of ungovernability if they achieve their objective of assassinating Maduro.

Why is that? well because Russia, China and any allied country, like the good guys of the world, will never do anything outside of "diplomacy". Like the good guys they are, they will stick to the laws and everything will remain as usual, pure words of support in the media while Venezuela is a total hell.

I don't believe in Petro, I don't care about his pompous words, it would be too silly to believe that just because he has broken ties with Israel is already enough to see him as "part of the good guys".

Petro along with Lula and others, called the vote counting in Venezuela and that is enough sign that he will also see only for his interest when the time comes. Whatever they say today, it's just part of the show.

I'm sorry to say it but Colombia is known as a cradle of traitors, that has been something historical. Petro and Maduro do not have a very close relationship either. And Petro has already said it, he is against the US invasion.The U.S. in Venezuela only because that would drag Colombia into a bigger problem, "not because it is an ally of Maduro."

Of course, just as Colombians were fleeing their country's conflicts to Venezuela, now it would be the opposite. "Oops not people escaping the war, it sucks that they stay in their country."

There is a phrase that a US military man said, I don't remember it exactly but it's something like "to invade Venezuela, you have to arm Colombia militarily".

I have more reason to doubt Petro, his support is no longer a Trojan horse. An the drug issue is a good bridge. For me, all of this connects very easily.

I have been seeing this pattern for a long time, Colombian mercenaries like carrion vultures flying to any conflict anywhere in the world. Here will be no exception.
