#news Venezuela became a narco-state allegedly under the direction of George Bush, who then reportedly sent his son Jeb in to set up drug trafficking & money laundering systems
#DC
The Bush family has been accused of playing a vital role in turning Venezuela into a narco-state, with George H.W. Bush allegedly installing a leader and sending Jeb Bush, to orchestrate drug trafficking networks and money laundering operations.
#Venezuela
G. Bush allegedly leveraged his CIA directorship to engineer Venezuela's slide into Narco-terrorism decades ago, and used Jeb as a CIA "non-official cover" agent.
In 1977 Jeb moved to Caracas as a branch manager for Texas Commerce Bank, an institution linked to his family's oil interests through Zapata Corporation.
Investigative journalists and political operative Roger Stone, allege Jeb facilitated money laundering for Colombian cartels like Medellín and Cali, disguising drug profits as oil revenues while supporting anti-communist efforts like the Nicaraguan Contras.

Stone's book "Jeb! and the Bush Crime Family" asserts that Jeb's banking role hid cartel funds in "front" companies, with Texas Commerce later tied to stashing $7 million in Mexican Gulf cartel profits.

Jeb's associations extended to people like Alberto Duque, a Colombian banker convicted in 1983 for laundering cartel and Contra money through Miami's City National Bank, where Jeb reportedly helped finance a $30 million real estate deal.
Critics say that Venezuela's path to becoming a narco-state is traced to the Hugo Chávez era starting in 1999, not the Bush years.
Under Chávez and successor Maduro, Venezuela became a key transit hub for cocaine, with the "Cartel of the Suns"—a network of corrupt military officials—implicated in trafficking tons of drugs to the US.

By 2005, Chávez expelled U.S. DEA agents, accusing them of espionage, which critics say opened floodgates for cartels.
I just want those voting machine codes so we can start arresting members of Congress.

Natural gas or unleaded gas?
Natural gas , I expect a bump in morning with traders closing positions and afternoon sell off. Outside of East Coast no weather in sight. Two weeks out and will likely change.
I’m not an oil trader. I deal in power and natural gas.
Venezuela oil is known to be “dirty” - I honestly don’t know if that is true or not its just always said.
My understanding is it takes more to get same heat output and to refine.
Overall, NG being off should be good for residential and manufacturing. It depends on which state you live in and their utility rates and guidelines vs retail.
Typically in a declining market you are better locking in retail rates as prices decline and better off being provided by a utility when prices go up.
Just my 2c
Refineries on the Gulf of America coast in TX LA are equipped to refine the Venezuelan “dirty” crude.
I think we’ll see $1.50 a gallon low octane gas soon.
