Killing the Competition
President Trump has bombed some alleged drug running boats off of the coast of Venezuela. He appears poised to invade the country. Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves.[1][2]
After enabling the lockdowns and the deaths of untold Americans with the mandatory covid drugs that were created by Trump in Operation Warp Speed, the President is killing Pfizer and Moderna’s competition in the drug trade.[3]
According to Milton Friedman, drug cartels pay the government to kill their competition.
“See, if you look at the drug war from a purely economic point of view, the role of the government is to protect the drug cartel. That’s literally true.”
-Milton Friedman, 1991 interview with Randy Paige on “America’s Drug Forum.”
People do drugs either legally or illegally. The only question is if drug gangs should exist and control politicians.[4]
Importantly, Congress hasn’t declared war since 1942, so nothing about this is legal. However, this is how human nature works.
Per the Declaration of Independence, humans will tolerate abuse, for a while, rather than risk losing the relative comforts they’ve carved out in the world. But then the abuse becomes too great.
“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” -The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, July 4, 1776.
How many more undeclared, foreign wars will Americans tolerate until the abusive cost, inflation, becomes too great to tolerate? The author, being a veteran of the US war in Afghanistan, finds it intolerable that President Trump would host Jolani (AKA Ahmed al-Sharaa), the leader of Al Qaeda who conquered Syria in 2024, in the White House on the 250th anniversary of the creation of the marine corps, the day before Veteran’s Day. It is bullshit to say that the drug war is about national security. Killing the people who did 9-11 is national security.
“The most significant threat to our national security is our debt.”
-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen speaking with CNN, 2010
In the opinion of the author, this has as much to do with the petro-dollar as with Trump doing the bidding of his donors. It benefits the deepstate (City of London) to keep the US military well funded, no matter the cost to American national security. Keeping Venezuelan oil priced in dollars means that countries need dollars to buy oil.[5]
We should declare independence from the Federal Reserve member banks, domiciled in the City of London. They are the Military Industrial Complex.[6]
If it were really about drugs, then why would Trump pardon a man convicted of importing 400 tons of cocaine into America?
End Note: The American Revolution turned into the American Revolutionary War at the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, because the British government wanted to arrest John Hancock at Concord, Massachusetts for being a drug (tea-caffeine) and gun smuggler. He was the first man to sign the Declaration of Independence.

Despite the sizeable reserves, Venezuela produced 0.8% of total global crude oil in 2023. Most of Venezuela's proven oil reserves are extra-heavy crude oil from the Orinoco Belt. The extraction of extra-heavy crude oil requires a higher level of technical expertise, which international oil companies possess but their involvement has been limited by international sanctions. Furthermore, budgetary constraints at Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA and a lack of qualified technical personnel and foreign direct investment have all hampered Venezuela’s oil and natural gas development.” Page 5.
