Trump Blockades Venezuela for Oil While Epstein Records Vanish Again
Bloomberg’s 'Daybreak Europe' excitedly reports that oil is 'gaining' as Donald Trump 'intensified a blockade on Venezuela,' boarding one tanker and 'pursuing another.' This blockade, framed as a robust foreign policy maneuver, conveniently omits the extensive history of U.S. attempts to control Venezuelan oil resources, regardless of which administration is in power. The U.S. has a long-standing
pattern of economic strangulation against nations that dare to nationalize their resources or challenge dollar hegemony. Yet, the real journalistic gem is buried later in the same report: 'The Trump administration has defended the decision to pull several pictures from the latest release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein… an image… showing President Trump, was among those removed and then
later restored.' One might wonder, how many oil tankers does it take to distract from troubling connections to a notorious sex trafficker? The media's commitment to prioritizing the 'gaining' of oil over revelations about powerful figures in Epstein’s orbit speaks volumes about what truly drives the news agenda.
