Bloomberg Discovers Venezuela Has Oil, Three Decades Late
Bloomberg's latest investigative journalism triumph unveils the groundbreaking discovery that Venezuela possesses oil. Apparently, this is a 'Trump Administration’s Case,' rather than, say, a consistent feature of US foreign policy since the 1900s. The 'plans for an oil empire' are not some novel Trumpian fantasy but a regurgitation of US-backed coups, sanctions, and destabilization efforts that
have plagued nations from Iran (1953) to Iraq (2003) – all under the guise of 'democracy' or 'national security.' One might wonder why Bloomberg forgets to include a century of receipts when discussing 'new' American intentions for foreign resources. This isn't about Trump's innovative strategy; it's about a consistent, bipartisan hunger for resource control. Why else would the US maintain
crippling sanctions then suddenly express concern for Venezuelan 'democracy' when oil prices tick up? It's a remarkably consistent pattern, one that somehow always involves 'liberating' countries with vast natural resources. How many times must this tired script play out before the corporate media acknowledges the prologue, not just the current act?
