In light of Erik Prince being lit up by Bloomberg/Reuters/AP/NYTimes for his weird flip flop meeting with Maduro's VP on Nov 19/20 2019. Let's take a little trip inside the war for Venezuela being fought over control of oil. #OroYPlato nytimes.com/aponline/2019/…

We would think that Citgo is a U.S. company, it is not. Fifty % of Citgo was sold to Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) in 1986, the remainder was snapped up in 1990. Citgo is essentially a parastatal that controls the socialist nation’s existence. 2014 vs 2019 #NotGood

Oil comprises 95% of Venezuela's exports and 25% of its gross domestic product. So whoever controls the oil will control the nation. A socialist nation relying on shrinking oil revenue is Arab Spring on steroids.

February 2012: Thor Halvorssen and Olaf Halvorssen were in business discussions with Erik Prince regarding oil investments. The Halvorssen's are a wealthy European/Venezuela family with links to dissidents in America. They also get plenty of bad press.

Thor Jr would produce Prince’s Somalia movie as Moving Picture Institute. Rebekah Mercer would later join the MPI board. Thor teamed up with Prince and Nicolet B. Gibson to promote Wickr. Thor downplays his association with Prince to the media. .sourcewatch.org/index.php/Movi…

The links are strange: Lawyer Susan Burke sued Erik Prince on re the murdered Iraqi families in Nisour Square. MPI employees messed with her Wikipedia page to defame her and she got hit with an anti-SLAPP charge trying to find out who it was. wikipediocracy.com/2014/06/09/att…

Thor and his sidekick Alek Boyd blame Fusion 360 for bad PR and slams. Boyd wrote a lame blog piece on me ....right after I told Erik Prince and Dorian Barak to get fucked in Austria for being deadbeats and not paying bills. #DirtyTricksDoneDirtCheap alekboyd.blogspot.com/2013/05/credib…

April 20, 2019: Most of us began focusing on Venezuela after this: A dramatic video of Juan Guaido declaring an uprising. Thor Halversson’s nephew Leopoldo Lopez is in the video.  self.gutenberg.org/articles/Thor_…

The late (Thor Halvorssen Hellum) was also a wealthy exile dissident. Senior was "bitten by the James Bond bug” Halvorssen worked with the head of the DEA in Venezuela. Twin brother was Olaf Halvorssen Hellum who talked energy deals with Prince in 2012. self.gutenberg.org/articles/Thor_…

April 29, 2019: Reuters -"Prince has sought investment and political support...from influential Trump supporters and wealthy Venezuelan exiles. Prince sketched out a plan to field up to 5,000 soldiers-for-hire on behalf of Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido”

As of April of this year. Prince wanted to do violence in Venezuela on behalf of exiles with the support of John Bolton. Even bringing in Black Cube alumni IDF intel officer Lital Lesham Why? #TheOilStupid reuters.com/article/us-ven…

Dec 23, 2016: You see Venezuela doesn't actually own it's own oil. They are in hock. Russia began taking over Venezuela’s oil industry in 2016 with 49.9% of Citgo pledged as collateral for a $1.5 billion loan from Russian oil firm Rosneft. reuters.com/article/venezu…

April and November 2017: Then Venezuela goes into hock for the rest of their oil. PDVSA Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. aka Citgo borrows a $3.4 billion to stay afloat "  But wait..it get's worse. sec.gov/Archives/edgar…

February 4, 2018: Crystallex, a Toronto based gold company successfully sues Venezuela and wins against parastatal PDVSA but blocked“OFAC’s actions strongly suggest that Crystallex would not be authorized to execute against the shares of PDV Holding Inc”

Feb 25, 2018: An unknown U.S. company is also hustling to buy the collateral in Citgo/PDVSA held by Rosneft. "The investors would repay the outstanding loan balance and require that Rosneft terminate its lien and assign the loan to the new investors." reuters.com/article/us-usa…

October 1, 2019: The narrative that Guaido has “taken control of Citgo”. loses steam: Maduro VP Delcy Rodriguez says she will “send documents to Harvard -which she called Hernandez’s “hideout” -- that detail his plan “to steal Venezuela’s assets abroad.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

October 2019: Russia goes big on propping up Maduro's oil industry "In October, Rosneft took 62% of Venezuela’s total oil exports of 812,775 barrels-per-day, according to documents and data, selling most of it on to refineries in India and China". reuters.com/article/us-ven…

No, Guaido doesn't control the oil, and duh, creditors actually will control Venezuela. So mercenary armies might not be the right answer. Maybe pushing a deal to buy out Russia might win the day. Better go talk to Maduro Vice President Delcy Rodriguez? theguardian.com/world/2019/dec…
