Incredible that the global markets are being affected to the tune of close to a trillion dollars because of Jensen’s Huang.

Exclusiva de Reuters muestra el verdadero móvil de la operación militar que llevó a la captura de Maduro

La investigación reveló que una semana antes de la operación militar del 3 de enero, el vicepresidente JD Vance abordó la futura venta del crudo venezolano con un operador de la firma Vitol y megadonante de su campaña, allanando el camino para que Vitol y Trafigura recibieran sin licitación el monopolio de comercialización petrolera que ya les ha generado cientos de millones de dólares.

Registros de vuelo ubican el avión oficial de JD Vance y el jet privado de John Addison (operador de Vitol) juntos el 27 de diciembre en Bozeman, Montana, rumbo al exclusivo Yellowstone Club.

Según una fuente enterada del encuentro, Vance preguntó qué tan rápido podrían vender el crudo venezolano si EEUE tomaba el control del suministro.

Aunque Addison negociaba gasolina en EEUU y carecía de experiencia técnica en contratos internacionales de crudo, había donado 300.000 dólares a Vance en 2022 y 7 millones de dólares a comités de Trump en 2024 (el mismo año en que Vitol pagó 50 millones en California por un caso de manipulación de precios donde Addison fue señalado).

Recomendado por Vance, Addison recibió el 5 de enero (dos días después de la operación) la llamada del secretario de Energía, Chris Wright.

La Casa Blanca omitió la licitación pública y el 9 de enero Vitol y Trafigura ya tenían las licencias.

Con más de 200 millones de barriles exportados en lo que va de 2026, expertos estiman que los operadores ganan entre 3 y 3,50 dólares por barril (un margen de 3,5 % a 4 %, superior al 1 %–3 % habitual de Vitol). Ambas firmas mantienen en secreto sus contratos con PDVSA, y Vitol confirmó tener además relación comercial con NABEP, la petrolera de Alejandro Betancourt

Este reporte se suma a la filtración del informe de KPMG publicada ayer por The New York Times, según la cual Vitol y Trafigura concentraron el 61 % de los 12.260 millones de dólares ingresados a la Cuenta de Custodia de Venezuela antes de que Washington transfiriera casi la totalidad de esos fondos de vuelta al Banco Central de Venezuela

Es decir:

Una semana antes del ataque militar, el gobierno de Trump ya estaba coordinando en un club privado de esquí cómo repartir la comercialización del petróleo venezolano a sus megadonantes de campaña sin licitación pública.

Guy who took some Epstein files to Russia in 2013 and later admitted to planting fake news in the US, offering to cause additional rioting in Seattle in Oregon with the aim of racial division, fights against cops, conservatives hating liberals… shows off his bag of 🇷🇺cash.

A lesser known story: Democrat Dan McDow jsut flipped Florida State House seat for Palm Bay after a recount.

McDow won by 286 votes becoming the first Democrat elected to represent Brevard County in the Florida legislature in more than 30 years.

BREAKING: GENIUS! Sen. Chris Van Hollen suggests restoring Affordable Care Act subsidies by gutting ICE’s bloated $200 billion in funding.

Two birds, one stone…

“We need to respond to the economic pain people are feeling. And that means a commitment, for example, to immediately pass legislation to make sure that none of us pay one dime, not one in higher electric costs, to build data centers for the richest AI companies on the planet,” Van Hollen said on “Pod Save America.”

“It means dealing with healthcare,” he continued. “And I mean, yes, of course, we need to reverse the damage the Trump administration has done with respect to their cuts to Medicaid. And by the way, we should claw back the approximately $200 billion in ICE funding that they banked last time.”

He also called for restoring the ACA subsidies that Republicans refused to extend in 2025.

We can’t think of a more elegant solution to this. Democrats are determined to undo Trump’s healthcare cuts and stem the deluge of financial stress, suffering, and death that those cuts are inflicting on the American people.

At the same time, we must abolish ICE. It’s a rogue paramilitary organization whose masked agents are terrorizing and murdering people in the streets. They’re trampling civil liberties and their detention centers are rife with sexual abuse. The last thing they deserve is another dollar of funding from taxpayers. That money should go towards saving lives, not ending them.

“But on healthcare, we need to go beyond that. We need to make sure that we deal with the system where premiums are going up and co-pays are going up and up and up,” added Van Hollen. “I ultimately believe we need to get to Medicare for All, but we certainly need to begin moving toward a public option. And finally, political corruption, because if you look at the results, it was interesting. If you look at what was on people's mind, number one was the economy and costs, but protecting our democracy was right up there. And these things are connected.”

There are growing calls among the Democratic base for Van Hollen to contest Chuck Schumer for the Senate Majority Leadership to empower a more progressive voice after the blue tsunami.

What do you think?

Please ❤️ and share if you’re a proud supporter of Chris Van Hollen!

John Mark Dougan used Signal to connect with Justin Ling of The Daily Beast and pitched his memoir of how he “strategically planted fake news to shape public opinion at the highest levels—all while evading the reach of the U.S. government.”

Democrats fail to call for a recorded vote and GOP passes its bill that cuts veteran disability benefits and forces veterans to pay more to use VA home loan benefits … on Veterans Day

This is the type of thing that would ideally be paid attention to and handled by party leadership. In this case, that would be Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Whip Katherine Clark.

This is less than 24 hours after they failed to whip members on a vote to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which failed by a 210-204 vote margin with 11 absent Dem members.
