John Bolton displayed notes saying ‘5,000 troops to Colombia’

Interesting possible Brexit/Trump link - email sent to Arron Banks, Brittany Kaiser & others re Leave campaign also copied “White Knight” - coincidentally there’s a company White Knight that’s affiliated with Joel Zamel and was used by George Nader for work related to Trump

The Trump admin wasn't going to mention climate change at Arctic Council Mtg...now Pompeo is praising it!

“Steady reductions in sea ice are opening new passageways and new opportunities for trade” & Arctic Ocean is "taking on new strategic significance”
observer.com/2019/05/mike-p…
In 2017 I did a long thread on US & Russian energy interests in the Arctic after seeing scary headlines on:

"Arctic Ocean thaw helps Russian shipping"

"New records for Arctic shipping but warming yet to bring bonanza"

Now Pompeo is echoing these words

Here's 2017 thread on energy interests in the Arctic and climate change:

Erik Prince, el multimillonario fundador de la empresa de seguridad Blackwater, presuntamente presionó para que miles de sus mercenarios fueran enviados a #Venezuela para romper el estancamiento que se había establecido entre Nicolás Maduro @jguado dice Reuters
Prince se reunió con partidarios influyentes de @realDonaldTrump y los venezolanos adinerados que viven en el exilio para obtener apoyo para su plan, que recibiría hasta 5,000 soldados hispanohablantes enviados a la asediada nación sudamericana a un costo de $ 40 millones.
Fuentes dijeron a Reuters que la operación comenzaría con la recopilación de inteligencia y luego se desarrollaría en misiones de combate y estabilización. La idea es crear un "evento dinámico" que rompería el estancamiento entre los dos campos opuestos.

The US and Brazil openly back coup d'etat attempt in Venezuela led by the opposition leader and self-declared president Juan Guiado. The US states it may invade the country if the coup d'etat is unsuccessful. theguardian.com/world/2019/apr…
Erik Prince, formerly (Blackwater) currently Frontier Services Group and a Trump admin collaborator waging war on UN-backed troops in Lybia, now pushing a plan to deploy mercenaries to help topple #Venezuela President Maduro, four sources told Reuters. reut.rs/2VAIwPF
Self-appointed president and coup d'etat leader Juan Guaido promises oil to world governments that choose to back him in #Venezuela.

#OperacionLibertad is less about the liberation of the people and more of the liberation of Venezuela's oil reserves.
