Trump's Tyranny

What happened to the Epstein scandal? You are gone. Wipe you out of my eyes. Hocuspocus, evaporated with a magic wand move. It seems that the master of illusions, Donald Trump, managed to escape this deadly blow, at least for the moment.

Trump's attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president, Maduro, a former bus driver, got Epstein out of the headlines. Now Trump and his cronies are beating the drums for his aims of world greatness, announced in Davos, Switzerland. This alpine resort, ugly enough — and not strong enough for skiing — was the perfect scene for Trump's show. Davos' annual carnival is the world stage of big egos, swindlers and braggers.

Leading among them was former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, a politician with unparalleled bendability and ability to sugarcoat lies and half-truths. Blair has just agreed to join Trump's so-called Peace Board, a bunch of shady politicians. The participation fee is $1 billion, a typical Trump fundraiser.

There’s a reason JD Vance converted to Catholicism right before entering politics and it had nothing to do with God. This is the same man who once wrote an article calling Trump “America’s Hitler,” and in a 2016 interview, said he’d rather vote for his dog than for Trump.

Now he’s Vice President of the United States, and he is just one blood clot away from taking control. While the legacy media and influencers fixate on Trump’s swollen ankles, slurred words, bruised hands, and mental decline they’re missing the real threat. Something worse is coming, and it’s wearing a crucifix.

“Trump is cultural heroin. He makes some feel better for a bit. But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they’ll realize it.” — J.D. Vance.

On a Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis, Patty O’Keefe and Brandon Siguenza, both U.S. citizens who live there, were taking part in an ICE watch. This is a legal activity where people observe and record law enforcement actions in public. It is an activity long protected by the First Amendment. That afternoon ended with them in cuffs after agents moved on them without warning.

The agents who moved on them didn’t knock or even shout orders. The first agent to reach Patty’s side jams a canister nozzle against the air intake vents near the windshield wipers. Inside the car, the air instantly turns caustic. A high-dose stream of pepper spray flooded directly into the sealed cabin, weaponizing the car’s own ventilation system.

This is a tactic that mirrors the times that DHS agents have used pepper spray on the air intake valves of inflatable costumes worn during protests.

According to footage from CNBC, it is no longer just a proposition out of the mouth of JD Vance. ICE agents are going door to door, kicking in doors, and breaking into peoples homes in Minneapolis. This is a direct violation of the U.S. constitution and something needs to happen about this NOW. If you are seeing this, call ALL of your congressperson now even if you don’t think it’ll do anything. And if you are nearby, help the community who is standing up against this BLATANT fascism.

It is interesting to observe how United States foreign policy, such as it is, often appears to have an Israeli back story that explains at least in part how Donald Trump’s mindless aggression against much of the world is driven by Zionist imperatives rather than actual American interests. Ukraine is supported by Israel and the US Israel Lobby in part because the roots of many diaspora and Israeli Jews are “Kazarian,” i.e. they derive from that part of Eastern Europe. Plus, Ukraine’s acting head of state Volodymyr Zelensky is a Jew whose mother and father reportedly live in Israel in a posh residence paid for by the money stolen by their son from US and European donations to Kiev to fight Russia. Also, the Jewish antipathy towards Moscow in large part derives from the belief that Imperial Russia was the source of many pogroms in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. That narrative fails, however, to mention how Russian Jews turned Bolshevik and, becoming enforcers of the Communist Revolution, subsequently got their revenge a hundred-fold on Russian and other Eastern European Christians.

Trump has a serious problem. He wants to be the `stupor mundi’ i.e. the master of the world, but he is running out of things to conquer.

Alexander the Great ran into a similar problem when his vanguard reached today’s Afghanistan: ‘oh Zeus! Not another damned desert. Will they never end?’

Trump has won the US presidency twice despite scandals and impeachment. Now, he speaks of an illegal third ‘term’ to be engineered by his battalions of lawyers and louche political advisors. He just overthrew Venezuela’s Maduro regime, long a target of US machinations. In doing so, Trump pulled off a highly competent coup and military operation that surgically decapitated the Maduro regime.

The much reviled and derided Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, formerly of Fox TV, deserves kudos for this complex military-political operation. Ditto CIA which prepared the groundwork for this successful operation. The late President Jimmy Carter had no such good luck when trying to free American hostages held in Iran after its revolution.

Look at the life of Renee Nicole Good. She was a mother who loved her child. She was a daughter who was cherished. She was a wife, a dog mom, and a vibrant soul who for 37 years occupied a space in this world that can never be filled again.

Twelve hours ago, Renee woke up in her home. Tonight, her wife goes to bed alone. Her child will never see her again. Not because of a “tragedy,” but because of an execution. This week the Trump administration sent 2,000 ICE agents to Minnesota. And because of that?

The elements behind Trump’s war on Venezuela are fourfold.

They center on the theft of Venezuela’s oil; the removal of Cuba’s primary lifeline; the protection of the dollar-based petrodollar; and Trump’s desperate need to deflect attention from the deepening quagmire that is the Epstein scandal.

And the ultimate question they raise is: will his blatantly illegal violation of U.S. and international law finally result in the impeachment and removal of Trump from the White House or the 2026 mid-term elections lead to an end of his destructive control of the U.S. government.

The lethal litany of reasons for Trump’s invasion is led by the U.S. seeking Venezuela’s huge reserves of oil—it supposedly has 303 billion barrels compared to the U.S. with but 45. After Venezuela is Saudi Arabia with 267 and Iran with 208 and then the list drops by 100.

Smedley Butler,in his book “War is a racket”, described his experience at using the military to steal other countries resources. The American Empire attacks Venezuela in order to steal it's oil, we know that Chevron, and individuals working for Chevron, will benefit. Having always believed that the cost of the theft is borne by US taxpayers, with little benefit, I asked Chat Gpt to analyze. And the answer is:

When U.S. firms like Chevron gain access to Venezuelan oil, how—if at all—do U.S. consumers benefit?

Short answer

U.S. consumer benefits are indirect, limited, and often marginal. Most gains accrue to corporations, shareholders, and specific sectors—not to everyday consumers in a clear or proportional way.

Below is a clear breakdown.

1. Potential consumer benefits (in theory)

A. Slight downward pressure on fuel prices

If Venezuelan oil enters global markets:

It adds to global supply

There is a peculiar kind of sociopathy required to wake up, order an overnight package, and decide that the same model should be applied to human beings. Yet, this is exactly the "business" I.C.E Director Todd Lyons proposed during a “Border Security Expo” in Phoenix: a hub-and-spoke network of mega-warehouses where the "product" is a human being.

Todd Lyons stood at that podium back in April and talked about moving human beings from Point A to Point B in forty-eight hours like he was pitching a logistics contract. Internal documents — leaked, obviously, because nobody’s proud enough to put their name on this in the light of day — outline their plan for a “feeder system.”
