CONTEXT

the Government Pension Fund of Norway is the largest sovereign-wealth fund in the planet; investing over a real, EU trillion in businesses worldwide.

where did they get the money to start the fund? FROM SURPLUS PETROLEUM & FOSSIL FUEL REVENUES. Norway nationalized key sectors of their economy, starting with oil & gas.

so the Norwegian government uses oil & gas money to rid the country of #petromafia #consumerism thru investments not taxes.

take that, neoliberal capitalists.

i cannot see Venezuelans rolling over and allowing for this gringolarchy invasion to go forward. the #petromafia is in for a rude guerrilla war awakening.

made the mistake to turn on the tv when a #petromafia karen was on BBC wellaktchually about #Venezuela. changed the channel and, sure enough, a bulletin about the MAGA cartel salivating over #Greenland.

my friends and relations: there’s way too many wistfully clueless gringos in #USA and not enough Americans to shut this shit down.

then there's the fact the gringo petromafia WORK statelessly. the only way to shut them down is to do so, globally.

we need another #Mai68, the sooner, the better.

since re-booting my #sewing life, i’ve learned how insidious the #petromafia is in #fashion with #polyesters.

when we made our clothes, we learned fabrics #tech. #globalization for #consumerism killed that knowledge.

most people don’t know polyesters don’t burn, they melt ―and that will kill you in a fire.

you know what’s the least flammable fiber? sheep wool.

no wonder Italy’s military uniforms are sewn in the finest of EU wools ―industries historically protected from capitalist predation

which brings me to that “endpoint” to Plan Condor: 1983

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983

i believe it was “ended” because it was wildly succesful. it was 3 years after the successful “soft coup” against Jimmy Carter and with the help of the #OPEC #petromafia cartel. it was also 4 years before the world knew of the #IranContra scandal and the role of the corporatist cadre of the #GOP#Republican Party as a shadow government behind the USA oligarchy’s #DirtyWars :

BTW

the largest fleet and flotilla that goes unchecked for #drugs #guns #human #trafficking are the private airplanes and yachts of USA’s #techbro #finbro #petromafia and their sundry milliardaire and millionaire bootlickers.

this especially includes the private jets of Hollywood stars & music acts. noticed years ago their travelling schedules across Latinoamerica & EU make them perfect mules & human traffickers.

the fascists are not going to stop at #genocide in #Gaza and #nuclear devastation on #Iran. if attacking Iran does not make Americans rise up, we are doom. the #OPEC #MAGA death cult will continue killing all across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Iran may be the Moby Dick of the #petromafia but the parasitic #techbros will go after anything they can mine for their #AI and #crypto scams.

USA needs a #generalStrike and the end goal is the complete removal of this whole regime

to be part of the American oligarchy/ruling classes, you have to be a capitalist.

USA oligarchy treats labor as a plantation. so to them, white working classes are akin to plantation managers.

#MAGA #techbros #petromafia decided they don’t need the white working classes anymore ―that’s the whole push for #AI.

the American plantation owners have turned against their plantation managers and are eager to treat white working classes the way they treat Black, Indigenous & People of Color…
