It's not about drugs. Washington can see a war coming and the loss of oil trade across the seas. So, they're trying to coerce a nearby country to sell its oil to them - all whilst not being able to commit to a ground war - or any intensive war - whilst the one with China is coming. Maduro just has to hold out.

As if there were any doubts, the U.S. has seized a Venezuelan oil tanker in the Caribbean.

Didn't I call it? They also intend to keep the oil on board and use it. Piracy anyone?

But there's more! How long ago now, yanks 'mentoring' political parties in our countries suggested an oil shock could lead to a pre-prepared 'solution' - "The poor don't drive". Any Australians remember Joe Hockey, then our national treasurer, saying that? When he wasn't smoking a cuban cigar.

Now let's test the mental powers of Plus613 users: what if Washinton never planned to follow such a political poison? Just encourage dependency on sea bourn trade, encourage free trade and no tariffs to collapse manufacturing (since at least the 1980's), encourage 'change through trade' (sometimes put other ways) and the collapse of defence budgets, encourage political parties to have a shortage of national oil reserves, have a war that sees munitions rain on cities in our countries and stop the oil trade, see parties commit political suicide, offer traumatised populations 'hope' in the form of their countries being part of a world yankeeland? Cutting out the middle man.

Yes, the more instances of 'if this is so then it's true! in a story the less likely it is, but all those things the yanks have done.

Pattern of behaviour since at least the 1970's:

- encourage foreign investment in other countries.
- encourage the free flow of money across borders.
(Question: did they encourage short term thinking in political parties they 'mentor'?)
- spend years denoucing Weimar Republic economics (up to the 1990's by memory).
- be the centre of an economic crisis (2007 - caused by deregulation) in late 2007 and into 2008.
- spring 'quantitative easing' on everyone as a snare.
- yank investors with the new money go on a global shopping spree.
- those who need a mortage to own a home bear most of the burden of soaking up the excess money, yes, 'investors' are hurt too, but it's nothing by comparison).
- the inflation bubble in the timeline of history will pass, yet the investments are made.
(Australia's Liberal Party is said to regard people who are perceptive as a threat. Question: did the Yanks encourage that?)
- See! It just naturally happened!

In before comments on 'The Great Money Scam' (inflation): I'm not sure the scam works. See the post and comments here:
