This shows exactly the kind of scam MCM is and has always been.
Why does she meet the Pope? Just to get the picture. Using the pope for her own agenda... And she dressed in black and hanged a rosary on her neck...
That is the same MCM whose horrible handling od the 24 election ended with hundreds in jail and many dead.
The Pope has an unbearable work load and meets anybody his team put in front of him for whatever political reason they do it.
His predecessor met with CFK.. several times. There are pictures of Popes with Clinton...Bush...Trump...Obama... that gives you the idea.

Merlino, history is key here, all infrastructure built in Venezuela was done pre CAP, from the a free fall into corruption under the flag of freedom, imho we'll have the quality of life that we deserve.
Delete bolos, delete the military, time to turn the page and follow Panama simple model.

Ven electrical grid:
Urgency: Extremely high and immediate. The grid's fragility is the primary bottleneck for oil revival, with sales starting now (30-50 million barrels initially). Blackouts disrupt oil extraction/refining and daily life, risking further economic collapse. U.S. policy emphasizes rapid action to channel proceeds, with work potentially beginning within months under secure conditions.
Cost: Approximately $10-20 billion over 5-10 years, based on expert estimates. This breaks down to $1-2 billion annually initially for urgent repairs (e.g., 1 GW thermal capacity at $700,000-$1 million per MW). Full modernization could reach $20 billion, including $5-10 billion for generation and $5-10 billion for T&D. Past plans (e.g., $1.5 billion for 9 GW recovery) were underfunded; embezzlement of prior $100 billion investments highlights the need for U.S.-controlled disbursement. Funding would come from oil proceeds ($2-3.5 billion initial tranche at current prices), scaled indefinitely.
Scanning now for small caps likely to benefit

The bilateral commercial arrangement and the January 9 EO
President Trump on January 6 announced that the U.S. would be selling sanctioned barrels of Venezuelan oil and channeling proceeds into U.S. accounts. The proceeds, he said, would go to purchase American goods and services to help revive the Venezuelan economy and oil sector.
A subsequent Energy Department Fact Sheet clarified the following:
The United States government has begun marketing Venezuelan crude oil in the global marketplace for the benefit of the United States, Venezuela, and our allies. We have engaged the world’s leading commodity marketers and key banks to execute and provide financial support for these crude oil and crude products sales.
All proceeds from the sale of Venezuelan crude oil and oil products will first settle in U.S. controlled accounts at globally recognized banks to guarantee the legitimacy and integrity of the ultimate distribution of proceeds.
These funds will be disbursed for the benefit of the American people and the Venezuelan people at the discretion of the U.S. government. These oil sales begin immediately with the anticipated sale of approximately 30 – 50 million barrels. They will continue indefinitely.
The only oil transported in and out of Venezuela will be through legitimate and authorized channels consistent with U.S. law and national security.
The United States is selectively rolling back sanctions to enable the transport and sale of Venezuelan crude and oil products to global markets.
The Energy Department went on to note that U.S. diluent will be supplied to Venezuela to help optimize its heavy crude oil production and transport. The U.S. will also authorize imports of vital oil field equipment and services to support immediate growth and modernization, leveraging American and international expertise. Additionally, efforts will be made to improve Venezuela’s fragile electricity grid, which is crucial for boosting oil output and enhancing daily life.
Shielding oil proceeds from creditors. Beyond the basic guidelines and principles of the arrangement, President Trump on January 9 filled in some key details with an Executive Order. The EO clarified that the proceeds of the U.S.-directed oil sales would go into so-called “Foreign Government Deposit Funds” that would “constitute property of the Government of Venezuela and do not constitute the property of any private party, including judgment creditors of Venezuela”. The U.S. Government would hold these funds in a custodial nature, and Secretary Rubio will determine the use of funds on behalf of the Government of Venezuela for the stated sovereign purposes of “compliance with international obligations, the performance of government functions, and the maintenance of diplomatic and foreign policy objectives”. Of note, sovereign immunity is not waved. In essence, the EO clarifies that the US-directed, Venezuela-owned oil proceeds accumulating in the fund will be shielded from creditors and will not be attachable to satisfy judgments.
We think the initial assertion of sovereign immunity over the Venezuelan “Foreign Government Deposit Funds” is logical for an orderly launch of this new, innovative vehicle. However, it will raise questions about how quickly and with what emphasis creditors will be dealt with going forward—especially taken alongside some of President Trump’s comments in the recent White House gathering of oil executives to discuss Venezuela.
In that meeting held on January 9, Conoco’s CEO noted that his company had seen assets worth $12bn expropriated, leaving them as the largest “non-sovereign” creditor of Venezuela. Moreover, he commented that financial sector creditors also should be brought into the room, suggesting the need for a comprehensive restructuring to restore financing to the country. On that point, President Trump responded “we are going to start with an even plate, though; we are not going to look at what people lost in the past because that was their fault, that was a different president….”. The president also commented that the company would have had “a good write-off” and would be able to “make it back, one way or the other”. |
