I am very grateful for the point of view of my dear brother, Colin Hyde, which was published in the Amandala on Friday, December 16, 2022 under the heading “Watch out for that disease called head tek”. I also respect his point of view, but I would like to remind him that the only country in this world that has an average of 800 military bases in different countries is the United States of America. Washington’s foreign policy has always been to extend its hegemony to all the countries of the world. This is nothing new. It has already been written in history. To date, no empire has been able to dominate the world. Washington has always intervened in the internal affairs of other countries because it has the power. So, let me also remind you that Washington has always said that Venezuela is a threat to their national security and for such a reason they have imposed sanctions upon sanctions against such a nation with the intention to create a coup d’etat against Nicholas Maduro’s government, and with that the U.S. would implement a puppet as president who would serve Washington’s oligarchy. They tried to do so by not recognizing the last general elections in Venezuela and instead acknowledged Juan Guaidó as president, supported by 50 countries. Today we know that due to the changes that are taking place throughout the world, the United States needs oil and gas, and Venezuela has that. In my point of view, Washington is trying to flirt with Venezuela, but that has consequences that was created by the sanctions imposed against Venezuela, where all countries that had trade agreements had to cancel their programs, except for one country who stayed and gave Venezuela their support. However, let me introduce you to the following information that has already become known throughout the world. It’s nothing new, but I have a feeling that not all Belizeans know it. Even Americans are not aware of many of the things that the leaders of their own country do. So, I present to you the following which was posted by El Chapucero USA on YouTube on December 18, 2022 and was directed by Nacho Rodríguez and Gaby Lopez. It is as follows:

Nacho Rodríguez: Right now the world needs oil, given the fact that it, OPEC, is producing two million barrels less of crude oil and, well, Russia is also producing less oil due to these sanctions against its oil that have been approved by the European Union and in the United States and well, now, many began to see that Venezuela could be a great oil producer with the understanding that it is the country with the largest oil reserves, but of course, very blocked by the United States and really with a production that is really very low. And well, for a few months now, the possibility has been mentioned that the United States will finally lift the oil blockade so that Chevron, which is an American company, could begin to produce Venezuelan oil but now, be careful: the Russians have begun to arrive, and it is that, well, curious, right?

The Venezuelan oil, the alliance, was with the United States to exploit crude oil, but now it is mentioned that the Russians could begin to arrive to extract all the oil that Venezuela has, of course, with an alliance with PDVSA, which is the Venezuelan state oil company. And that is super important, because the Russians are also coming to African countries like the Congo to develop oil and gas infrastructure in that country, and now they would also come to Venezuela. And it’s not that there isn’t, there are clearly productions of Russian companies in Venezuela, but it seems that this is going to be more than this; there is going to be a strategic alliance to really exploit all of this enormous oil treasure that Venezuela has and finally an oil power is committed, as it is not right now. Finally, right now it still has this level, but hey, in Venezuela it could be something super important, because it has the largest reserves in the world and it is unusual that due to the US blockade they cannot extract oil. Well, Gaby Lopez is going to tell us more. Hello, how are you? Buenas tardes.

Gaby Lopez: Hello, how are you, Nacho? And welcome everyone to El Chapucero International. Moscow is interested in increasing oil production in existing projects with another nation, and it was no longer thinking about Africa. It is no longer thinking about this territory, no, it is crossing over to the other side of the world to Latin America and has reached Venezuela. According to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, for his part in those projects in which we participate, we are interested in increasing production, in timely settlements and in product realization. This was what the Venezuelans affirmed, not only confirming but asking that our Russian companies continue working with Venezuela. This senior official also explained that Moscow and Caracas have been cooperating in the energy sector for years and already have five joint oil projects. Today he said, “we are expanding this cooperation including the gas

Industry. We have two projects in the offing.” Novak also recalled that “many companies previously worked in this Venezuelan market and among them some European and American companies were also involved, but we must remember that the latter country has dedicated its entire life to trying to prevent Venezuela from resurfacing, getting ahead and exploiting its economy as it should be due to all the sanctions that have been imposed against this country.” However, after the implementation of sanctions against Venezuela, only the Russian companies remained. Everything that was the European Union and the United States was forced out by these same sanctions and Russia said, “Why am I going to leave when the whole place is already mine? I can take advantage of helping each other and our economies will grow… “

Unlike now, the European Union, which has no gas, no oil or anything, and cannot approach new nations that it rejected at the time. We saw it at the last G20 Summit as the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, literally approached with his tail between his legs to greet the Venezuelan president in a calm manner, as president of Venezuela when he was one of the countries that rejected his mandate, that they supported this opponent Juan Guaidó, recognizing him as almost the legitimate president, but that Maduro held office as such. Seeing that Juan Guaidó could not carry out any activity because he was not in control of absolutely anything, then all the countries remained silent, including the United States, and now that they need gas they need oil, well, yes, “‘Hello, Maduro, I was always your friend and always supported you.” In turn, the Russian minister stressed that bilateral cooperation between the two countries remains stable. This despite the pressure of the sanctions that the union and the United States are issuing against Russia. The governments of Venezuela and Moscow also signed several agreements, approximately eleven, of cooperation in strategic sectors as part of the sixteenth meeting of the high-level intergovernmental commission, held coincidentally in Caracas, the capital of the South American nation. Alexander Novak said that these 11 agreements were signed, in the fields of transport, industry, pharmaceuticals, energy and agriculture, among other areas, which are vital for bilateral cooperation. Novak, for his part, showed confidence in the growing strengthening of and support and solidarity with Venezuela that do not depend, he remarked, on the political situation. “We,” he said, “seek to build a more just, polycentric world, and we agree on our approaches on most issues on the international agenda”.

So, it is not only Russia that is getting closer to the African countries, which should be noted, that they did more business with Russia than with the United States, that Anthony Blinken is still in their territory because they had a summit precisely to try to reach agreements. The only thing Biden said is, “We are going to help them in terms of support for women.” We are going to talk about some issues related to perhaps agriculture, but the energy issues which were what interested the United States the most were not able to be brought up to the table, above all, because previously Africa had already had a summit with the president of China, Xi Jinping, in which very good agreements were also reached on energy matters and before Xi Jinping, Russia had also coincidentally arrived to offer him a huge project to this continent. Obviously, the United States arrives empty-handed wanting to be the owner, believing itself to be the boss, and Africa has the opportunity to send him flying. Now Venezuela is coming, Russia is coming to this territory, to this Latin American country to also offer it great opportunities, above all, regardless of energy matters, in the general development of this country. Something that neither the United States nor the European Union has been able to do, and that is why we are now seeing the results. 11 good agreements between Russia and Venezuela that practically leave the United States, Biden, and what else can we say? Well, wish them good luck because most of the nations are already realizing that they are no longer the great powers, that now we have more and in this case China and Russia really want to support the growth of all countries.
