All of the news coming out of South America lately got me thinking about the last few presidential administrations here in the U.S.A. and their connections to the area. The most consistent thing about the conversation, going back the last two decades at least, was the topic of oil.
G.H.W. was a Texas oil man before he was a politician but his history and lineage goes back to oil in such an uncanny fashion it impossible to escape the fact that he and his inner circle was directly tied to the production and pricing of this commodity. Tying him and his family to wars and other global efforts to keep things under their control is easy. The family understood the how important the power of politics combined with their private interests when it came to a international stage early on. They were caught in desperate attempts to gain power by any means necessary but somehow came out clean and were able to move on in the eyes of the public.
I suppose this shows that money really can buy anything and propaganda is an extremely powerful tool. I suggest the world wide reputation the US has depicting us as an empire built on oil is based on these people and their actions. I encourage everyone reading this article to dig deeper into this part of our history and get this information on the blockchain as soon as possible before it gets scrubbed and or hidden. I bring all of this up because it may be one of the biggest parts of why we have our current problems. When these people gained control, the deep-state won a huge victory so it is definitely a big mark on the timeline when it comes to what went wrong I would argue.
Originally I wasn't planning on bringing the Bush/Prescott family into this article because I had a distinct memory of a big story about South American oil and an executive order by Obama but after some research the true story turned out to be different than I recalled and it has taken on a new life.
It could be a case of The Mandela Effect but I thought the story was that the president at the time wrote out an order that authorized $2 billion in budget spending to a company called Petrobras out of the tax money funds. He supposedly had much of his personal stock in the company and stood to benefit from them getting this cash payment. When I checked out Obama's stock portfolio however, it showed him to own to be squeaky clean on the issue, at least on the surface, being that his stock was all in the American blue chip companies or the fortune 500.
It also turned out to be more of a deal with Bush appointees working through a government banking agency called the Export-Import Bankand not an executive order at all that got them the$2 billion. Seems more like Obama was turning the other way so that the previous president could keep doing business as usual.
Indeed this is done by faceless, unelected people in D.C. that most of us have never heard of. The big question is why Obama let this happen in private while he was pro-environment in public. How and why did $2,000,000,000 in our tax money end up paying for offshore drilling in South America when it was being regulated or all out prohibited here in at home?
It turns out that it's not just the Bush family and their circle of kings and despots that benefit from the oil racket, not by a long shot. In the other parts of the world outside the United States purview, people like George Soros are running the same scams and want to muscle in on our territory.
My research shows that no, Obama did not pocket this money directly but even a company like Snopes can't deny this, he did receive and secure millions in funding for his own campaigns and the those of his party through these actions.
The defenders of these power brokers can say there was no quid pro quo going here and this is all above board. I would ask you to take a look at this graph depicting crude prices during the Obama years and see for yourself what happens when your oil baron buddies are the ones who fund your career to make up your own mind.
People who defend Soros say because he sold his stock in Petrobras in mid 2009, right before they received American tax dollars, but see for yourself the massive spike and crash that ensued during the time period. It looks more like these actors inflated the price of this product and promised investors in the oil companies that tax money was on the way to expand the value even more,,, right before the bottom completely dropped out and the scandals came to light about them.
I could be wrong but I see stock manipulation and a power struggle between the American energy mafia vs the foreign oligarchs that control commodity prices in places outside our reach. It could be that within months of the 2008 election, the old gang met with the new gang and restructured the organization, pardon the expression. It would certainly explain the massive price swing and trading of ownership that occurred during the Obama years and could also be a big part of the reason the price started to normalize towards the end of his second term.
It seemed for a while that this new power sharing deal was going to work out great for years and things were going to keep going this way for the puppet masters I would say. During the last election the front runners were Hillary Clinton and John aka JEB Bush and it safe for me to say they would have absolutely towed the line and kept the deep-state and donors who employ them happy. It would not have mattered if either of them won the election considering nothing would have changed, they were bought and paid for in my mind. We just have to look at their donor list, or as I say it check the receipt.
Here is Clinton's and here is JEB's
We of course know what did end up happening though, a big wrench was thrown into the deep-state machine and the reaction has been amazing. Take a look at what happened to oil prices when Trump was nominated as the Republican candidate. It takes a nose dive even before he won the general election and kept going down even after that. I suggest these scammers who fixed the oil prices for years behaved much like how cockroaches act when the lights get turned on, they scurry every which way without abandon.
Nothing panics the faceless appointees who wield power behind the scenes more than the idea that they could lose their control and be shown as useless to the people they serve. This could absolutely be a big part of the trouble Trump has had this whole time but I would like to hear your opinion, there are many reasons for coup attempts indeed.
It does not seem like Trump is playing along with these people to me though. Take a look at production levels and see how things are changing.
Looks like the new plan is higher production and consumption rather than a top down control approach. This upset the market just as much as the last change in teams and has led to the term volatile being applied to the commodity. That is probably the worst thing for a country like Brazil and especially Venezuela who almost completely constructed their governments around the price of oil.
The plan of people like Maduro and his predecessor was to nationalize their production of crude oil to pay for the social programs they promised in order to gain the office. It may have seemed like a good plan when prices were up at $120 a barrel but now that it is trading around $30 a barrel it has become a nightmare for the people who were counting on this scheme to survive. The starvation that is a rampant feature in South America is partially due the war of international oligarchs who are making billions of dollars of this family feud.
That is the mindset of these people, the investors that are being taken advantage of by inside trades are barely the start of the list of people being ruined by this scam and they don't care. As long as their limo shows up on time to get them on their private jet before the champagne gets warm life is good for them and that's what matters to some I suppose.
I really feel like that is the ultimate point behind this article, at the end of the day the people who manipulate the world so that it better serves them do not lose sleep even if their actions result in entire nations dying out, as long as they profit from it. There is a moral argument brewing over whether or not it is right or wrong to give aid to the rouge president of Venezuela but before you get caught up in I ask you to take a step back and look at the history here.
I don't see a fight between good and evil, capitalism and socialism coming in South America. I see the deep-state going on as their real bosses have instructed them in both our government and those around the world who are involved with this scam. I see the team run by people like the Bush family restarting their struggle with the old world families while Trump looks the other way. I see brief moments when our commander in chief seems to slip and give his real position on war just to have him retract them later and I for one am frustrated by that. The Mueller investigation has many roadblocks and traps in it for an outsider like him and may just turn out to be a play by those career Washington folk to show their strength. Another possibility is that it is a distraction to buy them time to get one final score before they are outed but either way we have a huge problem and it needs a solution too though.
However this all turns out I bet that Trump will not be the one who is able to dig out these people and reform the government. It may take twice as long to fix things as it did to make things so crooked. As I've shown this network has been built over the last few generations and is a world wide problem. I can guarantee that during the next election these issues and the upcoming conflict in South America is going to misrepresented by the media to say the least. I implore everyone to see through all the propaganda and check each candidate for their connections to this cabal before anything else. If they are bought and paid for by these people then it really doesn't matter what their outward message is, we will be stuck in this cycle and just have to hear the same emotional rhetoric being repeated forever.
There is quite a bit more to this story and the connections go so deep I could have wrote a book this topic. If you know more about these shadowy players, please let me know below. If want to write your own article on this, please link your post in the comments. I'd love to see a thread get started on this so that as much of this history gets preserved on the block-chain as possible.

It's funny how no one was paying attention on South America before the USA started to move the military. But the actions against Maduro were being made way before that by Lima Group on behalf of the new Brazilian Chancellor and since USA got into all the midia says is it's because the oil it makes me Lough out loud. You got it right about Soros on the beginning, there is no need for a military action here to take over the oil it's already taken not only from Soros but by our own corrupted government the last Communist party made of the company a giant Ponzi scheme promised that they could take the oil under the pre salt layer of the deep sea but well they didn't even tried, all they did was to get taxpayer money to drive into Petrobras to steal it. Our lucky here on Brazil was that we don't have dependency on oil but hell if the last Communist party had not stole all the money we could be now a super power. Same goes for Vale the it's owned by Soros since the 90's and have been killing lots of people here with the government it's the second time a dam falls just because they leave it up there to make an disaster on purpose. So its laughable when people think they need the military here to take over what is already taken by corruption and socialists.
The difference on Venezuela is that they survived only by the oil the government took lots of business and rigged the economy lots of people fleed away and those who are there are on misery. Some tried to took over the government and got killed so even if USA is going there for the fuckin oil nobody cares. They just want the county back like it was before or they wouldn't be leaving.
