Venezuela
Early Saturday morning during the overnight hours.
As Brian Cates and X22 Report have been saying for a while, Venezuela is an Occupied Country. The occupation was a NarcoTerrorist regime, using Communism as cover for criminality, and cooperating with other Imperial elements--Globohomo, Neo-Tsar, and Red Dynasty alike--as all three are aligned against any and all Nationalist movements seeking sovereignty for their people.
The drugs moved through Venezuela; that's what the boat sinkings are about. ChiComs and Russia went to Caracas for oil; that's what the Shadow Tanker fleet was about. Cartels used Venezuela to move men, material, and money from Imperial allies into and out of their networks- networks pointed against the American Nationalist movement and its allies around the world.
It is this cartel front that got taken out.
One must recall that the recent election in Nicaragua of another Trump-aligned candidate to high office, whose win was welcome by both El Salvador's Bukele and Argentina's Milei (as well as Chile's new head of state), means that more and more American governments are aligning with the American Nationalist faction against Globohomo and the other Imperial regimes. This is a trend.
The cartels, as we see in Ecuador and Peru, are doing as they do in Mexico when things don't go their way: massive crime and terrorism aimed at the state. Colombia was part of this, and still suffers from it to a degree, and Brazil is infamous for its own crime issues- along with Honduras, Guatamala, Belize, Costa Rica, etc.
What we just saw is that Trump is willing and able to do real actions to tear this network apart.
"But that's just crime syndicate stuff."
Oh, you're not connecting this to bigger pictures.
Iran
As I write this, the Islamic Republic of Iran is dealing with a nationwide open revolt that threatens to escalate into open civil war and revolution against the regime. The monarchy in exile is already openly supporting this happening, with the Crown Prince ready and willing to take the throne as soon as he is able and bring his government back with him.
He'll have quite the problem upon arrival. Water is almost gone in Iran, syphoned off for agriculture that doesn't make itself worthwhile as well as for military vanity projects that don't benefit the people at-large. International aid will have to be airdropped in to stave off disaster, and that's on top of what's already being sent to other disaster spots around the globe.
Iran's Islamic regime, being Shia, is oppossed to the Sunni regimes in the Persian Gulf countries as well as to other states in its region; its oil production therefore is often sold to rivals to Globohomo--Russia and China are both shitting bricks right now--and it (along with those Imperial regimes) use the proceeds to support anti-Globohomo and anti-Nationalist movements that mess with its interests. (They don't back the Uighers in Xinjang, for example, despite being Muslims.)
Oil fron Iran and Venezuela moves via the Shadow Tanker Fleet to sanctioned countries like Russia and (to an extent) China. In return those countries get arms, funding, and UN Security Council cover via Permanent Member Vetos and other measures. Globohomo then steps in to link up the cartels it controls to this shipping network to move drugs, people, guns, and more around using the same means and networks.
Iran being toppled, as much due to being boxed in by the US and Israel as by their own incompetence, means another Globohomo-friendly network node is taken out of action.
Somaliland
Israel chose to recognize Somaliland (the functional part of Somalia) as an independent country. Somaliland's territory faces the Red Sea, directly across from Yemen (which, due to Iran going down, is about to run out of missiles to lob at Israeli-aligned shipping), and the new country is going to reward Israel with various concessions in due course; this is rumored to including being a dumping ground for Gazans, but that is (at this time) just a rumor with no substance to it.
The real damage is to Somalia, which has been exposed for weaponizing its diaspora in the United States (and thus making its European diaspora suspected for) committing fraud on a massive scope and scale; the looting of Minnesota's coffers alone in in the billions of US Dollars, and then similar scams in other Democrat-controlled cities, counties, and states in the United States are being uncovered as I write this. All of this directly funds Foreign Terrorist Organizations. The Somali ambassador to the UN, now taking up the Presidency of the Security Council, is personnally implicated with 20 Ohio scam fronts alone.
Where does that money go? To Somalia. Whe does it fund? Al-Shabab, a Foreign Terrorist Organization; through it, other FTOs are also funded, and through the synidicate network they traffic money, guns, women, children, Weapons of Mass Destruction, drugs, and more--both in and out--and it went in and out through Somaliland despite that being an area opposed to the clans in the diaspora doing the scamming and looting.
Like it or not, Israel's move--timed with exposure in the US--is going to result in that network node being taken out too. Someone in Tel Aviv is friendly to the Nationalist cause, and that must be acknowledged.
You wanted Empire to fall. Now it's happening- and we're taking ALL of the Imperial regimes out, not just Globohomo. This will be an ongoing effort, with punches and counter-punches, all through this year. There is no division between action at home and abroad anymore. Damaging them in one place is what it takes to weaken all other places, and thus bring the network down- to make empire fall.
