PETER HAENSELER—”The world is selling US bonds and America is running out of money – it’s as simple as that. With the oil that the Americans want to steal, they will once again have assets with which to refinance ailing America. Trump was therefore forced to carry out this raid, because otherwise the empty coffers in Washington would blow up in his face. Being a businessman, he even found a way to make his friends in the oil business rich at the same time.
He was also able to rely on the corrupt military and business leaders in Venezuela – even Maduro’s bodyguards abandoned him. The military, probably in consultation with the CIA, shut down its own air defenses to guarantee safe passage for the robber barons.
The parallels with Syria are obvious, with the difference that Assad smelled a rat and had himself flown out by the Russians.”

ERIC ZUESSE—First, the ‘news’-media’s lies (pretending that the beneficiaries were the people who purchased Obamacare insurance policies) will be reported and explained here; and, then, the truth will be reported, which was reported in an obscure place in a blog-post that still doesn’t yet have even a single reader-comment to it — so, it is very obscure indeed, but the evidences and the reasoning in that report make sense (though the author fails to link to its documentations) and are (unlike the newsmedia’s reports) relevant to answering this crucial question of whom the beneficiaries of Obamacare have been, which none of the ‘news’-media’s allegations about this matter do — nor even try to be relevant to identifying whom Obamacare’s ultimate beneficiaries have been.

ERIC ZUESSE—Why has Germany’s employment cratered since February 2022? What happened at that time? The Biden-imposed U.S. sanctions against Russia, and U.S. secondary sanctions against countries — such as Germany — that had been importing a lot from Russia (especially fuels), kicked in. The devious U.S. Government, and its deceptive news-media throughout the U.S. empire (such as in Germany), didn’t report that these secondary sanctions would not only hurt Russia (which hurt turned out to have been only little) but also (and much more severely) hurt the countries — especially in Europe — that were importing (especially fuels) from Russia. It hurt those importing countries because fuels are a crucial expense not only to consumers, but especially to manufacturers (that’s to say industries), who need LOTS of cheap energy in order to be able to be competitive in international export markets.

ERIC ZUESSE—On October 13th Reuters had headlined “In rare move, Dutch government takes control of China-owned chipmaker Nexperia” and reported that “The Dutch government has taken control of Chinese-owned computer chipmaker Nexperia,” which is a subsidiary of “Nexperia’s Chinese parent company, Wingtech,” which subsidiary, on September 29th, had been placed by the U.S. Government on its list of banned companies.

Not only will this hurt European automakers but it will hurt U.S. automakers, and its net effects upon China could also be negative but might be positive on account of this not hurting any automakers except the ones within the U.S. empire. (For China, the loss of Nexperia might be less damaging than the benefits to China’s automakers will be beneficial.)

Obviously, then, this action by the U.S. regime is driven more by its hatred of competitors, than by its aims to benefit anybody. The master-nation refuses to yield up its supremacist position.

E. ZUESSE—It is reasonable to presume that the one of the three which Bukele has who had “divulged incriminating information about members of his government” is now dead, missing, or otherwise being treated worse than the other tens of thousands in El Salvador’s mega-prison are being treated.

Why would any Government trust a Government like America’s, enough to negotiate with it?
