Paul Singer Set To Capitalize On Regime Change In Venezuela

I think it is interesting that Nick Fuentes is downplaying the Jewish angle of Trump’s regime change in Venezuela which has always been front and center.

  • Trump had neocon veterans John Bolton and Elliot Abrams in charge of destabilizing Venezuela, crushing its economy and overthrowing its government in his first term. Toppling Maduro has always been a neocon objective
  • Bibi Netanyahu has long supported the overthrow of Maduro because he sees Venezuela as being aligned with Iran and Hezbollah
  • Marco Rubio has repeatedly connected the overthrow of Maduro to Iran and Hezbollah
  • Lindsey Graham and other MIGA senators and influencers like Mark Levin have repeatedly connected regime change in Venezuela to regime change in Iran. Graham talks about the “Narco Caliphate” all the time with Sean Hannity
  • Paul Singer’s hedge fund Elliot Management acquired CITGO in November
  • Paul Singer is Marco Rubio’s patron and one of the most important and powerful Jewish donors in the Republican Jewish Coalition
  • The Venezuelan opposition is eager to restore ties with Israel and move their embassy to Jerusalem and become an outpost of Israeli influence in Latin America like Argentina

There is no upside for Americans to regime change in Venezuela.

China only gets a fraction of its oil from Venezuela. The oil infrastructure in Venezuela has been wrecked by decades of neglect and would take years to rebuild. The American oil majors aren’t enthusiastic about returning to Venezuela because the price of oil is so low. The next Democratic president would simply return the oil to Venezuela like when Obama and Biden killed the Keystone pipeline. The price of gas was already low and flooding the market with Venezuelan oil would harm the American oil industry.

WSJ:

“The ouster of Nicolás Maduro is rewarding investors who spent years betting on a Venezuela comeback.

Investment firms including Fidelity and T. Rowe Price have been stuck holding tens of billions of dollars in underwater Venezuelan bonds that the government and state-owned companies such as Petróleos de Venezuela borrowed years ago. U.S. investors once held about $50 billion of Venezuelan debt, before many sold and wrote off the losses after the first Trump administration isolated Venezuela through sanctions. …”

WSJ:

“For activist hedge fund Elliott Investment Management, Nicolás Maduro’s swift exit comes at an auspicious time.

A U.S. judge in November backed a roughly $6 billion bid by Elliott for Citgo Petroleum, the refining firm owned by Venezuela’s state-run company Petróleos de Venezuela, known as PdVSA, in a forced sale to satisfy creditors. Citgo, based in Houston, owns a U.S. network of refineries, pipelines and terminals that some analysts have said could be worth between $11 billion and $13 billion. …”

Chris Brunet:

“Coups, collapses, and revolutions are usually framed as moral dramas: heroes and villains, tyrants and liberators, peoples rising against power. What receives less attention is the market for distressed assets that forms in their wake. When states fracture, assets do not vanish. They are liquidated quietly, legally, and at a steep discount. Crisis creates opportunity, and into that vacuum move investors whose entire business model depends on chaos being just orderly enough to exploit.

In the language of global finance, these actors have a name: vultures. …”

Who benefits from this?

It is Wall Street investors who took on bad debt, oil companies through their stock price, vulture capitalists like Paul Singer who donated to Trump and Rubio and Israel.

Politically, there is no upside to this for Trump. It only subtracts voters from his coalition. It empowers Democrats to argue that Trump is focused on rebuilding Venezuela’s economy. Even if Trump manages to “take the oil” by threatening and bullying Venezuela, it will just be given back.

  1. Singer has laid off thousands of White workers, either through mergers (what he did with Cabela’s) or replacing them with H1-B pajeets. I remember Tucker running a bunch of pieces on him back in 2019. He then turns around and funds all sorts of homosexual “rights” causes.

  2. A modest proposal. Make me the Oil Czar for Venezuela and I promise White Americans .50 cents a gallon gasoline for the next 100 years. Are all of you Republican bigshots on OD listening.

  3. Oh, it gets even better. Singer-owned CITGO is eligible for corporate welfare from the government because the VZ oilfields are “national security”. He won’t pay a nickel.

  4. The Usual Suspects benefit in the short term, acquiring even more obscene wealth and getting their golem to destroy another one of their enemies. Any distinction between the Paul Singers of the world, big business, Our Greatest Ally, the Trump Regime, %99 of the loathsome scumbags in Congress, Wall Street, international banking, the professional Left, “Conservatives” (who only conserve their grift), the Lügenpresse etc. is trivial. They are all in it together and benefit together, in the short term. The Paul Singer types don’t know when to quit however, being the epitome of greed and its ugly stepchild, stupidity.

    They always go too far, bite off more than they can chew and bring disaster down upon their own heads and unfortunately, everyone else’s too. Whether it will be some grinding war thousands of miles away like LBJ and GWB II, another 1929 economic catastrophe caused by unpayable debts or both one cannot tell now. The ruling class in Washington, NYC and a few other places are oblivious to the fact that the U.S. economy is a shadow of its former self, unable to produce war matériel in quantities needed for their wars.

    Also, they can neither inspire nor command the public to support their wars against the public’s own interests, such as for Taiwan or Our Greatest Ally. The disconnect between the population, the ruling class and their evil decisions is too great of a divide now to rally White people to their bad causes. Add in another 1929 or 2008 economic crash and Whites will just walk away. Without White support GloboHomo will fail.

  5. Yes Paul Singer is the real President not just of the US but Venezuala. (Sic).

    Paul made up all the stuff about Iranian, Hezbollah, Russian assets in Venezuala. It hasn’t been going on for 25 years like AGB says. (Sic).

    This is just a couple of oligarchs who wanted investment money out, and nothing more. Nothing to see move along. Get back to talking about Duh Jews folks. (Sic)

  8. Surprised you’re going with “it’s the Jews” on this one. I can see plenty of reasons a guy who publicly muses about annexing Canada and Greenland might want to overthrow Latin American governments that are in bed with our geopolitical rivals.

    Now, if he goes after Iran – yeah, it’s the Jews. But thus far I’m putting Venezuela in the “cementing US dominance of the hemisphere” bucket. No idea if it will actually produce that, but I see no reason to think that isn’t the intent.

    “There is no upside for Americans to regime change in Venezuela” – well, that depends on how it turns out. We’ve been getting tons of refugees from there, so if their country becomes stable again that should dry up. It’s also a quasi-failed state, which makes it an attractive place for all sorts of non-state actors that might want to set up shop in our neighborhood. Am I naive enough to think we’re going to stabilize it? No. But I think it’s a good sign that we’re basically trying to bully their leaders into submission or coopt them rather than bombing everything in sight. A big problem with Iraq was that we “denazified” the government, so everyone with experience actually running the place a) wasn’t involved, and b) became unemployed because of us, and thus our enemy. Thus far Trump isn’t doing that.

    It certainly *could* turn out badly, but I think you’re jumping the gun by freaking out about this so much. Thus far all Trump’s done is send some helicopters in to nab some guy who doesn’t deserve any tears shed for him.

  9. Come on Hunter. Things are moving faster. Venezuala was last year’s news. Now we are into Iran. Place your bets commentaties. Will Khamenei be removed or not.

    Meanwhile, another tanker was seized today. This time a a joint WWII style naval search. This is sharpening the blade for bigger things. What is on this tanker? More oil or something else……

  10. Perhaps you have to be a war veteran to see this, but this is absolutely a win for America. That operation in Venezuella will be studied in military academies around the world for decades. The presidents of Mexico and Columbia are wetting the bed every night wondering if they will be next. Consider the end of the 20 year grifter war in the Stan, remember that shameful exit where 13 service members died and Afghans hanging off planes? Compare it with the mission in Venezuella. It was an outstanding mission that recovered much respect and fear that was squandered in the forever wars of Bush and Cheney.
    AGB is correct. This had less to do with narcoterrrorism and oil, and everything to do with Chinese control of Venezuella’s mineral mines; Iran/Hezbollah drone factory; and 120 Russian military advisors. Long live the Monroe doctrine. SMH how how anyone could condemn this. Iraq and Afghanistan were Globalist wars. Venezuella was a Realist war. There is a difference. Globalist wars serve the bankers. Realist wars serve the American people.

  11. To be fair Venezuela is the route taken for Cocaine that reaches Europe. So the Jews have seized around 10 billion a year in illicit contraband. So the Narcoterrorism angle has some truth to it. But not the way casual viewers see. Mossad could fund almost all the subversion in Europe needed just by controlling that smuggling network now.

  14. Any comment on federal cops murdering a White Christian mother of 3 in Minneapolis?

    The triggerman didn’t even seem shaken up after.
