Practical Knowledge. Real Experience. Better Preparedness.

Huuuummmmm……….

,

You know me…I love facts, figures, stats, and evidence. Research is fun for me…normally. Yesterday I was doing some work installing well & water tank controls for a 3-family glamstead. Loved it! Well, a bit windy but there was sun.

This morning I woke up thinking about a couple issues…here is the result…

Let’s review:

  • Venezuela has the largest known oil reserves in the world; 13% more than Saudi Arabia and 6 times more than the USA.
  • 60% of all natural gas reserves in Latin America are in Valenzuela.
  • Venezuela is well-known globally for its gold mining and reserves. The country produces about 30+ metric tons of gold annually and not long ago had the leading gold mine in the world. Experts say Valenzuela holds the largestgold reserves in Latin America worth trillions at today’s prices. And Valenzuela has one of the largest gold reserves in the world.
  • Venezuela also has significant silver mining potential above what it already mines. Silver is a key precious metal to all things electronic.
  • Venezuela has large deposits of quality diamonds.
  • Venezuela also has huge reserves of nickel and coltan (columbite-tantalite ), both critical to modern battery storage, telecom and defense industries.

Think about this:

  1. After the invasion of Valenzuela Trump announced that US oil companies will takeover Valenzuela oil and natural gas resources, including production and the infrastructure.
  1. Trump has seized/confiscated 50million barrels of Venezuelan crude oil and will sell it for US profit. He went on to say that he [Trump] will be in-charge of it personally. That’s about $3billion at today’s price.
  1. Within hours of the invasion of Valenzuela the full funding of a precious and rare earth metals smelting plant in the US was finalized. The major investors include the US government (40% ownership) and JP Morgan. Yeah, remember the history of JP Morgan and who they really are? And yes, the majority investor will be the US Federal Government.

Now consider and remember:

  • China is/was Iran’s top oil buyer.
  • China is/was Valenzuela’s top oil buyer.
  • China is/was Valenzuela’s top silver buyer.
  • China is/was reportedly Valenzuela’s top gold buyer.
  • China is/was the third largest buyer of Valenzuela’s nickel.

Then you think about:

  • Trump ordered the bombing of Iran in 2025.
  • Trump ordered the bombing and invasion of Valenzuela in 2026.

Then you remember that 2 days after the bombing & invasion of Valenzuela, Trump threatened Colombia’s President; “He’ll be next soon. I hope he’s listening, he’s going to be next.” So why Colombia?

  • Vast reserves of oil & natural gas
  • Huge gold reserves
  • Huge nickel reserves
  • Large silver reserves
  • Large copper reserves
  • Large coltan reserves
  • Large platinum reserves

Than look back and remember that Trump is obsessed with Greenland. Why? Greenland has huge reserves of:

  • rare earth elements
  • gold
  • zinc
  • diamonds
  • copper
  • nickel
  • oil

Trump has threatened multiple times to “annex” Greenland. Actually, Trump says he “absolutely needs” Greenland. Annex means to add/attach; so Trump wants to make Greenland part of the USA by whatever means necessary. Problem…Greenland is already part of Denmark. Another problem…only 6% of Greenland’s population wants to be part of the USA. And Denmark has repeatedly asked Trump to stop threatening to takeover Greenland. In a very strongly worded letter from world leaders Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom warned Trump against taking over Greenland. Should Trump ignore them…NATO would cease to exist according to NATO members. Actually Article 5 of NATO charter says the if one NATO member is attacked, then all NATO members must respond for its defense. All of the above mentioned countries are members of NATO.

Are we seeing the problem here yet?

Actually, a better question might be…Are we seeing the reasoning behind the problem yet?

Oh wait…why did I mention China early on?

In the 1930’s The US wasn’t thrilled with Japan and its rise in regional military might and its incredible industrial & economic prowess. Japan was also a military power and growing it to rival the US. And further, Japan was expanding through military actions and becoming the dominant power in Asia. So what was the US’s response?

The US imposed sanctions and embargoes on Japan, they included:

  • Scrape metal (today’s rare earth metals)
  • Iron
  • Copper (20th century technology essential)
  • Oil (cut off 90% of Japanese imports)
  • Rubber
  • Defense/military hardware and technology

And the US also:

  • Froze Japanese assets in the USA
  • Encouraged other countries to freeze Japan’s assets
  • Restricted ability to international trade
  • Outright ban on trade with China

Then the US increased its military presence in the Pacific to “check” the Japanese military, especially the navy. Here’s an interesting summary, “In summary, the US response to Japan’s expansion before Pearl Harbor was multifaceted, involving economic sanctions, diplomatic negotiations, military preparedness, and attempts to rally international opposition. ”

World War 2 started for the US in 1941, a decade after the US went to war with Japan economically. As Japan saw it…Japan was facing certain economic and societal doom and destruction due to the actions of the US and its allies. Japanese naval forces attacked Pearl Harbor December 7th, 1941. [I made a typo yesterday, I had originally said “5th”. speedilyfriedaf0476a712 pointed it out to me..thank you!]

History can be interesting…and predictive.

So…why is Trump doing these things at this time? That’s a seriously good question.

Maybe even more interesting is the fact that China is competing for world “hegemony”. Its only rival…the US. How do we know this? China has publicly stated that is their goal…to replace the US as the world’s superpower…and they have been working on it for very long time. But that is another whole story for another day. But let me leave you with this…So what exactly is the endgame in all of this?

      Thank you very much! I am grateful that you got a different perspective.
      It is so hard for me to accept where our government has been putting us for a very, very long time. I try to speculate “why”…I come up with at least a dozen answers but none of them seem right, or complete.
      It’s probably because I am not thinking like all those decision makers are…I am just not capable of that kind of thinking. And I guess I should be grateful for that 🙂

        I have realized at this stage of life that the “why questions ” almost never come up with answers that are reasonable/adequate /etc. so I don’t worry about the why anymore. I just know that God is in charge and I prepare in all the ways I possibly can to be ready for whatever, lately my spiritual preparedness has taken precedence over all other kinds of preparedness. I know that the SHsTFs no matter what any of us do. I also realized a long time ago that because Americans have accepted and promoted only the two-party system that we currently find ourselves in , that we are in deep deep trouble… ready for manipulation , corruption, and all together bad stuff! But doesn’t that serve us right I can’t remember which founding father says I give you a republic if you can keep it, we have not nor cannot because we have lost our way with God, He is no longer important to the majority of Americans who are in power and those voting.

        Well said!!!
        It was Benjamin Franklin that said we had a Republic if we could keep it…which we haven’t.
        And it was George Washington that warned us against the evils of a 2-party political system…which we ignored.
        And now here we are…

        And you are right…God is in-charge, He does win in the end. Faith not fear.

    It looks to me like a full acknowledgement into a 3 power world. US, China and Russia are carving out and will likely quickly carve out their hemispheres / areas of influence and concentrate on strengthening that influence and start getting the wealth extraction going to build their empires. Venezuela makes sense in that way – kick out Russian and China influence, keep resources in this hemisphere for us or NA/SA continents. Start building SA so it can produce goods rather than sitting on them.

    I expect China to go after Taiwan soon, with only token resistance by US. Same with Russia/Ukraine. I think the deals have already been made. I won’t be surprised to see if US ends up with Greenland this year.

    I think the republic is truly dead now, but the empire is truly getting a huge life injection, not over the whole world this time, but over the western hemisphere. And the domestic US is only a few small steps from going conservative vs progressive in a way that won’t allow us to live together safely.

    I sure hope I’m wrong…Your site is critical in all this as we all need to be prepared as well as we can be for whatever craziness is about to be reaped…

      Thank you for your input!! I really appreciate it. I can see you are a deep thinker vs ruled by emotion or blind followership.

      It’s called the Monroe Doctrine. In the early days of the US the leaders wanted the US to stay out of Europe’s business and for Europe to stay out of the western hemisphere. Sounds like…what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Yeah, in the early days the US was worried about European colonies in North & South America. Those don’t exist any more. But interestingly, the US has a very strong military presence in 10 European countries now. Hummmmmmm…….

      If we take Greenland it proves beyond any shadow of a doubt who we are as a country.

      I don’t know about the whole China / Taiwan situation. If it lights up over there…we are cooked. For the US, there is no “win” in that fight. We are dependent on both of them.

      “I think the republic is truly dead now” Yup!!!! Been dead for almost 100 years, probably more like 135 years. And yes, the US Empire did get a shot in the arm with Venezuelan resources/wealth. At least the US’s elites. But, I have a feeling it will be nothing more than sepsis in the long run.

      Our country is a complete mess right now…a wreck. And you are correct, it’s not safe. There is danger from the far left and the far right. A life under strict conservative rule would be unreal oppressive. What we really need…the Constitution restored.

    Your facts and research are wrong pearl harbor was attacked on Dec. 7th. Numbers can be cooked to show what you want them to show so let’s stop pretending to read someone else’s mind and start trying to unite the citizens instead of instigating more division.

      Only part I got wrong was 5 vs 7…typo on my part nothing more. Well, not good enough editing on my part is to blame as well…I let the typo get trough and I shouldn’t have. But good catch, thank you! I’ve since corrected it. And one more thing…if you had done your research you would have found multiple articles of mine posted about Pearl Harbor on Dec 7th.

      Yup, numbers can be cooked…and if you don’t like mine then don’t believe me, do your own research…I highly encourage it. But, I noticed you didn’t point out any of my research numbers that I got wrong..

      Nope, I am not trying to read anyone’s mind…just putting out the details and facts..let other people’s minds go where they want…I have no desire to read minds…yup, including yours.

      Not my job to unite citizens…citizens can unite or not on their own. I see my job to point out what is wrong in the world, especially the US. During the Vietnam War there were huge protests pointing out how wrong the war was…you could call that “not uniting”. Turns out those protesters were 100% right. So, if we are to unite…let’s unite under the right banner for the right reasons.

      And actually, I just checked the numbers…it appears that America is uniting. Way over 1/2 the country thinks we are on the wrong track as a country. And, over 1/2 the country disapproves of the job Trump is doing. So your wish is coming true…the country is uniting!

      Oh wait…or, do you want us to unite only according to what you want?
