The Real Story behind US taking over Venezuela (Expose)
Starboy Exclusive
US capture of Venezuela's President Maduro on January 3, 2026, was a final move in a hidden game
Let's unravel this mystery, dot by dot, with real events. Stay sharp, the truth is in the connections
1/19
First Character in the Game- Paul Singer
A billionaire hedge fund king.
He started Elliott Investment Management in 1977 with $1.3 million.
By 2025, it manages $76 billion, known for "vulture" moves buying cheap debt from broke countries and suing for big payouts.
Second Character in the game - AIPAC
Singer's Zionist ties.
He funds pro-Israel groups like AIPAC, giving $1 million in 2018. He launched Start-Up Nation Central in 2013 to boost Israeli tech, shifting US jobs there.
His donations shape US policies favoring Israel.
Third Character in the game - Donald Trump
AIPAC and Trump’s alliance.
AIPAC, backed by Singer, spent $100 million in 2024, boosting pro-Israel candidates
Donors like Miriam Adelson gave Trump $120 million. AIPAC’s ads and funds helped Trump beat Harris by swaying key voters
Fourth Character in the Game - Venezuela
Venezuela sits on the world’s largest oil reserves, but there is one problem, Venezuela's oil is heavy
It needs special refineries to process.
This oil is the country’s economic lifeline, controlled by state-owned PDVSA.
PDVSA is Venezuela’s oil giant.
It runs everything drilling, exporting, and owning US-based CITGO.
CITGO is US based refinery, owned by Venezuela
PDVSA’s heavy oil was Venezuela’s cash cow until mismanagement and sanctions choked it by 2019
CITGO is PDVSA’s US arm.
Based in Texas, CITGO has refineries built to process Venezuela’s heavy oil, turning it into gasoline and diesel.
It’s worth billions, making it a prime target for creditors.
You can think Without Citgo, Venezuelan oil has very limited value
Now lets connect all dots
Paul Singers' Elliott Investment Management creates
Amber Energy
It is created to bid on Venezuelan assets, Amber Energy pops up in 2025 to grab CITGO’s parent company in a US court auction.
Why them? Follow the money.
Elliott’s vulture playbook.
In 2002, Elliott bought Argentina’s defaulted bonds cheap, fought in courts, even seized a ship in Ghana in 2012. Settled for $2.4 billion in 2016.
Venezuela’s next on their list.
The Zionist lobby’s reach.
Singer gave $20 million to Republican causes in 2016, helping elect Trump, who moved the US embassy to Jerusalem in 2018. AIPAC, backed by Singer, pushes anti-Venezuela policies.
Venezuela’s anti-Zionist stance.
Maduro cut ties with Israel in 2009 over Gaza.
In 2014, he blamed “Zionists” for global plots.
On January 4, 2026, his VP called his capture a “Zionist attack.”
Why this pattern?
Now, connect all the dots.
Singer - Eliot Investment - AIPAC - Trump - PDVSA - CITGO - Singer
It starts in 2017:
Venezuela defaults on $60 billion in bonds.
PDVSA can’t pay.
Elliott buys these bonds at pennies, eyeing CITGO’s refineries, perfect for Venezuela’s heavy oil.
Trump, backed by Singer’s millions, hits Venezuela with crippling sanctions.
PDVSA’s oil exports tank.
Heavy oil sits unsold- CITGO’s refineries idle.
Venezuela’s economy collapses further.
2023
A Delaware court orders an auction of PDVSA’s US assets to pay creditors.
CITGO, tied to PDVSA’s parent PDV Holding, is the prize.
Its refineries are gold, built for heavy oil no one else wants.
Elliott’s Amber Energy steps in.
On November 25, 2025, Amber bids $6 billion for PDV Holding, winning CITGO.
Judge approves on November 29, 2025.
Venezuela loses its US refining power, Elliott gains billions.
Why CITGO?
Its refineries are custom-made for Venezuela’s heavy oil.
Control CITGO, you control the flow of Venezuela’s oil wealth.
Elliott’s not just taking assets, they’re choking Maduro’s lifeline.
Now Singer has refinery but not oil, Its still with Maduro
January 3, 2026
US forces strike Venezuela, capture Maduro and his wife.
Trump, reelected with Singer’s $7 million in donations by 2024, declares a “Trump Corollary” to run Venezuela’s oil, starting with CITGO.
Now Singer has refinery and oil both
January 4, 2026
Venezuela’s acting leader blames a “Zionist tint.”
Maduro’s ties to Iran and Palestine clashed with Singer’s lobby.
Sanctions, debt grabs, and now CITGO’s loss, all weaken an anti-Zionist state.
The cycle closes:
Heavy oil fuels PDVSA.
CITGO refines it.
Elliott’s Amber Energy seizes CITGO via US courts.
Trump’s capture of Maduro hands oil control to US firms.
Zionist lobby wins, Venezuela falls.
Dots connected.
What’s next?
