🚨 IMPORTANTE
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.

Thank you for believing in me and never forgetting Mississippi. You supported early and it wouldn’t be possible without you. God bless you & your mom! #MississippiMatters
When my mom was a little girl, she heard the gunshots that killed Medgar Evers.
This year she got to vote for Mississippi’s first Black senator since reconstruction.
This means something.
Congrats @scott_colom ✊🏽

Amar a un pueblo es desear que todos puedan vivir dignamente en él, interesarse por él y estar dispuesto a ofrecer algo de uno mismo por su bien. Es un sentimiento que he llegado a comprender mejor gracias a ustedes y que hoy deseo compartir con quienes ejercen responsabilidades públicas. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

ICE deported Ayaz Ahmed to Pakistan in July. Within 14 hours of landing, Ahmed was dead — and his family says they still don’t know what happened.
Ahmed, 61, moved from Pakistan to Chicago’s suburbs in 1997 and owned several businesses. On June 3, ICE officers detained him for overstaying his visitor’s visa. His children tried to accelerate his deportation, worrying that Ahmed’s health would deteriorate if he stayed in detention. According to a doctor’s letter ABC7 reviewed, Ahmed had type 2 diabetes and needed daily medication. His lawyer told the Chicago Sun-Times that he had high blood pressure and required a breathing device and nasal spray. Around June 10, Ahmed told his lawyer he was receiving his medicine, but it was unclear how consistently.
On July 29, Ahmed and other detainees began a roughly 30-hour journey on an ICE-chartered plane, departing from Fort Worth, Texas and making stops in Iceland and Bulgaria. One witness on the flight said Ahmed had urinated on himself. ICE said that, during the flight, there were no signs of medical distress and that Ahmed received all his medication.
The plane landed in Islamabad on July 30, and another witness said soon after, Ahmed “fainted right then and there.” They added, “All they did was…put him in the [Federal Investigation Agency] offices, where they interrogated us,” referring to Pakistan’s federal law enforcement body.
According to the postmortem, Pakistani officials brought Ahmed to an Islamabad hospital about 14 hours after his plane landed; by then, he was already dead. His family is now asking questions of Pakistani authorities and ICE about what happened before the flight landed and during those 14 hours.
ICE said any claim of neglect is “categorically FALSE” and that when an individual is transferred to their home government, they are “no longer in ICE custody” and “ICE does not have authority over their care.”

Zelenskyy: Russia does not count how many people it loses each month. Last month it was 52,000.
Can you imagine what is going on in the head of the leader of that nation, if he accepts losing 52,000 in October? 1/

I've been reading the Epstein files.
What’s inside them is horror and evil beyond language.
Pedophilia.
Rape.
Cannibalism.
CSA.
Kidnapping.
Trafficking.
Children spoken about as food.
Code words like pizza.
Photographs of molds taken from real children’s body parts used as decorations.
The elite.
The parties.
The auctions.
Major corporations involved.
Businesses woven into everyday American life, including the company nearly every school uses for student photos.
This was protected.
Investigations obstructed.
Evidence buried or destroyed.
Sweetheart deals granted.
Victims silenced with threats, NDAs, settlements, and intimidation.
This was financed and laundered through shell companies and complex money trails.
It was international.
Multiple countries.
Multiple jurisdictions.
Not one island. Not one network.
Recruitment pipelines where children were groomed, coerced, and forced to recruit other children.
Abuse discussed casually.
Suffering treated like logistics.
Blackmail.
Documentation used as leverage.
Powerful people insulated by proximity to politics, royalty, and intelligence-adjacent circles.
Out of thousands of children referenced, named, or implied, only around thirty are accounted for.
The rest are missing.
Erased.
Unanswered.
People joking about what they’ve done.
Joking about what they plan to do next.
This is not conspiracy.
This is documentation.
I do not know how one could witness what happened on Epstein Island and not turn away. This is the kind of evil that makes hell seem embarrassed. No deity, no devil, no myth feels sufficient to hold it.
What is in these files is so grotesque, so deliberate, so organized, that every single party involved must be held accountable. Not some. Not a few. All of them.
Your politics do not matter here. Democrats and Republicans are named. Celebrities and CEOs are named. Corporations are named. Defending any of them over the safety of children is complicity. We must stand together, united beyond party, fame, or wealth, to end this evil and protect every child.
WE ARE NOT ANGRY ENOUGH!!!!
This is also your reminder, if you read them, to take breaks. Step away when your body tells you to. Drink water. Ground yourself. You are allowed to protect your nervous system while demanding justice. Reset is not complacency. It is survival.
WE ARE NOT ANGRY ENOUGH!!!

There was zero congressional oversight for the last two years of these corrupt thugs while they rob us blind and they want to keep it that way by threatening people with criminal prosecution who try to expose them. We will shine a light on these cockroaches.

SENATOR-ELECT COLOM: I've been telling everybody that we're going to win this election. I was saying it 8 or 9 months ago. But every time I said it, I pointed out that people were going to give me too much credit for it because it's not something that I did. It's something that we did.
All I did was have the courage to imagine a night like this. I had the courage to believe in Mississippi. I had the courage to understand that we could show the country that Mississippi matters.
