stolen @ gun point by the U.S. Military from the people of Venezuela. Call it what it is and that is
armed robbery and the money from the sale of that oil is going to some bank in the Middle East
in an account that is under Donald Trumps control.
So Trump and Israels war in the Middle East will make it harder to get oil from there and so the
price of oil will go up and so will the demand for Venezuelan Oil. Before Trump and Israels un-
needed war on the people of Iran the price of oil was @ a point that big oil companies had deemed
it unprofitable to use Venezuelan oil but that might have changed now. And it just so happens
that Trump donor, Paul Singer owns refineries that were built to process Venezuelan heavy crude oil
oil.

Paul Singers shady purchase of Citgo has everything to do with this coup.
One of President Donald Trumps top billionaire donors, who has spent the past several months backing a push for regime change in Venezuela, is about to cash in after the presidents kidnapping of the nations president, Nicolas Maduro, this weekend.
While he declined to tell members of Congress, Trump has said he tipped off oil executives before the illegal attack. At a press conference following the attack, he said the US would have our very large United States oil companies go into Venezuela, which he said the US will run indefinitely, and start making money for the United States.
In 2024, Singer, an 81-year-old with a net worth of $6.7 billion, donated $5 million to Make America Great Again Inc., Trumps Super PAC. Singer donated tens of millions more in the 2024 cycle to support Trumps allies, including $37 million to support the election of Republicans to Congress. He also donated an undisclosed amount to fund Trumps second transition.
Singer is also a major pro-Israel donor, with his foundation having donated more than $3.3 million to groups like the Birthright Israel Foundation, the Israel America Academic Exchange, Boundless Israel, and others in 2021, according to tax filings.

(1,455 posts)My local rural county in Upstate NY has several of these Citgo stations in the past 3+ years. They have the lowest gas prices of all the stations and the workers are probably from Pakistan or elsewhere in that area. In view of what is going on, that raises eyebrows as to how their business may go. In this very red county. Going to a Dem county caucus tonight.
