A thread on why the US might invade Venezuela.

1,2,3,

1/

What is the petrodollar, and what is its connection to Israel?

After the Vietnam War, the United States emerged with massive debts amounting to $168 billion, which was significant compared to the U.S. federal budget at the time, ranging from $92 billion in 1960 to $195 billion in 1970.

To solve this massive alarming problem, in 1971, Nixon decided to separate the dollar from gold. Henry Kissinger went to Saudi Arabia to convince King Faisal not to sell oil except in dollars in exchange for absolute American protection of the ruling regime.

After this decision, it became imperative for all oil-producing countries to sell oil only in US dollars, making the dollar the global currency.

There are more than 200 countries in the world, and these countries can be divided into two categories: energy producers and consumers. If you are a "country" and want to buy oil for your people, you must use the US dollar because oil-producing countries only sell it in dollars.

If the people in the Middle East decide to choose their rulers, and an elected ruler decides to sell oil in another currency, and Arab oil-producing countries follow suit, this means that non-oil-producing countries no longer need the US dollar.

But where will the US dollar around the world go?

It will go to the only place where you can use it, which is the United States. Then you will witness an unprecedented financial inflation in history, and all taxes will be unable to keep up.

But where does Israel fit into this equation?

Israel is the advanced military base for the United States. Its presence near oil-rich countries, like a sentry, is both feared and relied upon, ensuring that things remain as they are.

The Saudi oil embargo, which occurred in 1973, it was a cover-up for the upcoming deal with the US, which essentially allowed the US to print money out of thin air. This agreement significantly elevated the importance of the Middle East for US global domination.

Petrodollar has no link to Faisal’s assassination:

Decided *1971

Passed 1973

Saudi signed the deal 1974

Faisal assassination 1975

What was the real reason the US invaded Iraq, and why did France oppose it?

In November 2001, only two countries were attempting to escape the petrodollar system: Venezuela and Iraq.

Hugo Chavez's Venezuela had set up a system for exchanging oil for goods and services with other Central American countries.

Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, then under trade regulation imposed by the UN Security Council Sanctions Committee, had asked the Committee for permission (which was granted) to receive payment for its oil exports in euros.

3 years after that, the US invaded Iraq in March 2003, which immediately put an end to escaping the petrodollar.

Why did France oppose the invasion?

Jacques Chirac was against the war on Iraq because Saddam Hussein decided to sell oil in euros.

Saddam Hussein believed that choosing the currency of a powerful entity capable of confronting America would protect him, as it would be beneficial for the entity as well. This shows that Saddam Hussein knew America would not let this pass peacefully.

Saddam Hussein's failure in this regard was due to his trust in international law and his belief that a state with veto power could stop any aggression against Iraq.

The invasion of Iraq was not solely for that reason, but also because Iraq was a sovereign state with an established doctrine underpinning its sovereignty

What’s the Ba’ath ideology ?

The Ba'ath Party is a secular Arab nationalist party whose goal was to unify Arabs under a single rule (although the goals might seem noble, it was merely a pretext for the non-Muslim minority in the Arab world to attain power, though Saddam Hussein truly believed in the Ba'athist message).

And evidence of this is that he said,

"If Hafez al-Assad's regime agrees to unify Syria and Iraq under one rule, I would accept that both the Iraqi and Syrian regimes step down, and that elections be held under the supervision of observers from both the Iraqi and Syrian Ba'ath parties, along with observers from other Arab countries."
- Video 0:55

(Saddam Hussein would have won any fair election in any Arab state in a landslide)

And that’s a threat to the American interests in the region. If Iraq and Syria were united, what would prevent other smaller Arab entities from joining, whether willingly or under threat?

The first two victims of this, if it were to happen, would undoubtedly be the petrodollar and Israel.

This is one of the main reasons for the West's unlimited support and encouragement of the war between Iraq and Iran to exhaust Iraq and prevent it from engaging in a war that, if occurred, would be detrimental to their interests.

Had this war not been with an equal opponent like Iran, it would have been with the Hafez al-Assad regime, which Iraq's Saddam could have easily obliterated in a matter of days.

What does this have to do with Venezuela?!!!

Okay, read the next post.

CNN was caught fabricating the story of a prisoner found in Assad’s secret prison.

Fact-checking outlet @VeSyriaE conducted a background check on the so-called “prisoner,” and here’s what they found.

Thread, 1,2,3

1,

On December 12, CNN published a report titled “CNN witnesses moment Syrian prisoner is freed from Assad's forced detention”

The video shows Clarissa Ward in a Damascus prison, accompanied by an armed individual, discovering a man who claims to be Adel Gharbal from Homs. He alleges that he was arrested three months earlier and transferred shortly before the fall of Assad’s regime.

The man, who allegedly had been hiding under his blanket despite the sound of gunfire from the armed man unlocking his cell, claimed that he hadn’t seen light for three months. However, the reaction of his eyes to the light suggested otherwise, as he didn’t even blink when he looked at the sky.

2,

@VeSyriaE platform team found no official records of an individual named “Adel Gharbal” to verify the reason and duration of his detention.

However, after investigating in Homs, they discovered that his real name is Salama Muhammad Salama, a former first lieutenant in the Assad regime Air Force Intelligence, one of the most notorious branches of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Known as “Abu Hamza,” He is often found in the “Al-Bayyadah” neighborhood, one of the largest neighborhoods in the city of Homs, specifically on Al-Zubair Street at the western entrance of the neighborhood, heading a notorious security checkpoint,

according to the locals. Salama was responsible for several security checkpoints in Homs and was involved in extortion and controlling people’s livelihoods.

He was recently imprisoned due to a dispute over profits with a higher-ranking officer, leading to his detention in a Damascus prison.

In addition to his horrific history, Salama, since his return to Homs after the fall of the regime, has been attempting to gain the sympathy of the locals, convincing them that he was forced to do everything he did, including killing, terrorizing, and engaging in thuggery. The @VeSyriaE platform team also learned that Abu Hamza deactivated his social media accounts and changed his phone number in an attempt to hide any documents that could indicate he carried weapons and was involved in war crimes.

Here are some testimonies from residents of his neighborhood in Homs, testifying to his crimes, obtained by @VeSyriaE.

But why would CNN fabricate such story ?!

Here is proof that the Egyptians had no clue whatsoever about October 7th before it happened.

A thread.

The narrative “Egyptian regime warned Israel about October 7” first emerged from AP on October 9, 2023, two days after October 7, attributed to an anonymous Egyptian intelligence official by an Israeli “journalist” based in Tel Aviv.!

If you check the same story on BBC, other Western media, and Arab regimes media, you will find they all cite the Israeli Tia Goldenberg (AP).

Hamas and ISIS

- A thread 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

Read the full thread to understand what’s going on

1,

What is the political ideology of Hamas?

Hamas was primarily founded by Sheikh Ahmed Yasin, who was influenced by the thoughts of Egyptian Sheikh Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, which seeks to establish a democratic government through peaceful democratic options such as elections. Up to the 1990s, it was the only active political Islamic movement until the non-Muslim Brotherhood Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) in Algeria won the first election in Algerian history in a landslide. This victory resulted in a military coup that imprisoned or exiled all the winners of the election, leading to a decade of civil war.

The Muslim Brotherhood is present in many Arab “states.” They recently won parliamentary elections in “Jordan” and in Morocco.

They are designated as a “terrorist organization” in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain despite their democratic approach!

In Egypt, after the 2011 Revolution against Mubarak, they won both parliamentary and presidential elections in a landslide. This led the army generals to orchestrate a coup, imprison the election winners, and detain the democratically elected president, Morsi, who died in jail due to torture and neglect.

If the Muslim Brotherhood is against military actions, why does Hamas have a military wing?

If the Muslim Brotherhood is against military actions, why does Hamas have a military wing?

On May 1, 2017, Hamas announced its disconnection from the Muslim Brotherhood and published a political document consisting of 42 points on its official website to redefine itself.

In the introduction to the document, Hamas redefined itself as a Palestinian national liberation and resistance movement with an Islamic reference, aiming to liberate Palestine and confront the Zionist project.

Who’s ISIS, and what’s their ideology? What’s their relation with Hamas?

The land bridge between the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel:

What are the facts?

Thread:1,2,3,4,5

1

The land bridge project connecting the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel did not emerge after the events of October 7th. Instead, it was conceptualized following the failure of the Saudi war on Yemen to achieve its primary objective of dismantling the Sanaa government.

The Sanaa government was seen as a potential threat to the movement of goods through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a critical maritime route for Israeli cargo shipments from China, India, and other major Asian suppliers.

2

After October 7th, the Israelis, Americans, and Arab regimes imposed a siege on Gaza and closed the Rafah crossing, which created a dire situation in Gaza, causing famine among the 2.2 million people living there.

In response to this humanitarian crisis, the Sanaa government declared that it would not allow any ships to pass to Israeli ports until the siege on Gaza is lifted.

The Yemenis then began targeting ships, leading to the complete inactivity of Eilat port.

This situation brought back the importance of the land bridge.

Here is an example of oil tanker (SOUNION) targeted two days ago by Yemeni armed forces because the owning company violated the Yemeni ban on entering Israeli ports via the Mediterranean before the siege on Gaza is lifted.
