One persons breakdown of the strategic importance of those countries.

I was forwarded this link from a reader and wanted to share it with my readers. As I have been stating for a few years, time is running short and geopolitical circumstances continue to quickly unfold to reveal the endgame scenario. The analysis of this writer largely conforms with our own “proprietary” analysis.
This is what the above writer on his X handle “EndGame Macro” posted on his feed:
Monroe Doctrine 2.0: Why Venezuela, Guyana and Colombia suddenly matter a lot
Strip away the rhetoric and Washington’s fixation on the northern rim of South America is about two things: who controls the hemisphere’s next decade of oil flows, and who controls the chokepoints and minerals that power modern industry. Venezuela holds the world’s largest crude reserves, with heavy barrels tailor made for U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. Guyana has become one of the fastest growing oil provinces on earth, anchored by a U.S. operator. Layer onto that the scramble for rare earths and magnet materials and Beijing’s tighter export controls on the heavy REEs used in advanced weapons and EVs and you get the real logic of a modern Monroe Doctrine. The United States is trying to redraw supply lines so that American and allied firms, not China or Russia anchor the energy and mineral streams coming out of the Americas.
Venezuela is the fulcrum. Beyond sanctions talk, the practical U.S. aim is to prevent Caracas from mortgaging its oil system to Chinese and Russian state companies, or using barrels as geopolitical leverage. That explains pressure campaigns, naval and air shows of force in the Caribbean, and talk of covert authorities: crowd out outside patrons, deter adventures against neighbors, and keep a channel open for managed production growth that stabilizes prices without ceding control to Beijing.
Post continues…
Yes, this writer is largely correct. While I am not a geopolitical expert, per se, this is obvious to you and me that all the smoke screens are just cover for the true goals.
War is coming and the Western hemisphere must remain within the US sphere. Even if this means a hostile takeover and coup of Venezuela and a realignment with Columbia, goals must be achieved and these nations risk being steamrolled by the US military. Look for Maduro to fold quickly and leave.
Trump is getting his directions from a much higher source. But I give it to him. Boy, is he moving fast.
President Trump seems so focused on these matters that he’s not even publicly concerned about the government shutdown. Democrat leadership spoke earlier today and indicated that Trump has essentially gone “radio silent”. I think Trump has bigger fish to fry right now.
I totally underestimated Trump when he first won the election last year. This guy is our last chance for pulling the US out of the strategic deficit the Democratic communists placed us under.
Trump orders US carrier strike group to Caribbean
Updated: 10/24/2025 01:50 PM EDT Politico
President Donald Trump has ordered an aircraft carrier strike group to the Caribbean, a major escalation of warships in the region as the U.S. attacks alleged drug-running boats and increases pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Deploying a carrier is a significant move for any White House, and often suggests larger scale military operations.
The arrival of the U.S.S. Gerald Ford, the Navy’s newest and most advanced aircraft carrier, alongside several destroyers and a submarine, will add to what is already the world’s largest naval deployment.
Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell announced the move on X, saying the deployment “will bolster U.S. capacity to detect, monitor, and disrupt illicit actors and activities that compromise the safety and prosperity of the United States homeland and our security in the Western Hemisphere. ”
The warships will add to the 10,000 troops and a dozen F-35 fighters which have been sent to the region over the last several weeks.
B-52 and B-1B Lancer bombers have flown close to Venezuela’s coast in recent days, as warplanes and drones sunk seventh alleged drug-running boats. The actions, which expanded into the Pacific on Thursday with an eighth strike, have killed dozens of people the Pentagon has labeled as “narco-terrorists.”
The administration has said the killings are lawful but not provided a legal rationale for the military’s use of force against civilians who are not engaged in war.
Trump said Thursday he is unlikely to go to Congress for authorization to conduct the strikes “I don’t think we’re going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war,” he said.”We’re just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. … They’re going to be, like, dead.”
Maduro, the authoritarian leader who Trump accuses of enabling drug trafficking, said this week that his forces have deployed thousands of Russian-made Igla-S ground-to-air missiles around the country in preparation for any U.S. airstrikes.
The deployment of carrier strike group is a huge undertaking for the Navy, and is normally a sign that the administration is looking to show a presence in a region. The Ford’s F/A-18 fighter planes will add significant heft to the strikes taking place. And the group’s destroyers provide more long-range missile strike options for targets on land.
The Ford deployed from its home port in Virginia in June and has spent the last several months in the North Sea and Mediterranean training with NATO allies.

More drama and kayfabe, done I’m sure for a purpose! The real question is, where is this going…
They need to get that oil price up and scare the soccer mommies and joe sixpacks. We’re overdue for a bottle rocket launch that takes out a garage window on Haifi street. Then they can scatter around the same baby mannequins they been using for the last 4 decades, covered in ketchup, with bandages.
Gas is $2.65. that’s the same price as it was immediately after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Modern marketing is solely responsible for the predicament of the spendthrift and broke ass consumers. I have no sympathy for them. They can’t control their eating and spending.
It’s not difficult to build a $1 mm balance sheet. All it takes is some ingenuity, deductive reasoning, fearlessness, and thinking outside the box.
Today’s consumer suffers from social proof, a lack of reasoning abilities, fearfulness, and unoriginal thought.
Can’t disagree with that. Gas price is at low in my area, been above 3 for a long time, but compared to other places I guess it’s not that high. There’s always an event once a year or two that spikes oil price, I assumed it was next on the pump list after PM. This South American issue may do the trick. Eyes off the Ukraine/Russia hoax for now, and onto other stuff. If the SOS really wanted some malarky they would reduce or end SNAP/welfare/dole benefits. There would be actual death on the streets if that happened.
EV demand is definitely keeping a lid on gasoline prices. Unfortunately, electricity prices here in Virginia are outrageous. Dominion Energy has raised my residential electricity prices about 30% over the past couple years. All those EVs and brand new data centers are consuming too much of the marginal supply.
I’m able to get gasoline down the street for $2.63. Sure, there is a line, but it’s there.
Re: gold and silver futures.
Today’s price action is a strong indicator. For now, my sentiment has flipped and I am now a seller of rallies. The drops in both metals today have been nasty and to me as a trader, this marks a change in the short-term trend and sentiment.
If the price recovers over the next several days, I would be unloading positions as opposed to adding.
According to the chart, I see a possible intermediate gold retracement to as low as 3800. It’s extremely overbought even at these levels.
Got hammered.
The opening salvo against Nicaragua. Be careful or the Oceania steamroller will come to Managua.
From Bloomberg:
The White House is weighing imposing new tariffs on imports from Nicaragua or cutting the country off from benefits under a free trade deal because it says the country’s “abuses of labor rights, human rights and fundamental freedoms, and dismantling of rule of law” amount to a burden on US commerce. Speaking of tariffs, Swiss watch exports fell in September, hurt by the Trump administration’s 39% levy on its imports, the industry’s largest market
Petro is realizing his days could be numbered if he doesn’t cooperate with Oceania.
Colombian court strikes down former president’s bribery conviction
BOGOTA (Reuters) -A Colombian court on Tuesday struck down former president Alvaro Uribe’s conviction for bribery, in a case over alleged witness-tampering that saw the influential right-wing politician handed a 12-year house arrest sentence earlier this year.
The court is still set to decide on appeals over a second charge of fraud and the status of Uribe’s sentence.
From Dailycrow.com:
Virtue signalers like to pretend that race is not significant, it is skin deep or it a social construct. In actuality, our DNA is who we are tracing back to our ancestors. The Bible is the story of a family and seed line. There is a warring after the seed that begins in Genesis 3 and culminates with return of Christ. There is one constant at our current stage of the strong delusion. That is, whites are being exterminated. All other races are being subsidized by whites in order to exterminate them. Who would do such a thing? Why would they?
This goes way beyond a pragmatic aim to “control”. They already have that.
He’s got that right!
It’s all about Jacob and Esau to the finish. The world hates European Caucasians and WWIII will be pinned on them.
There was pre-Adamic Genesis One man and Genesis 2 Adamic man. Noah’s three sons all looked alike. They were Adamic man.
I think of all the burned down libraries and stores of knowledge that was hidden. It will be revealed, despite Cain/Esau and the Jew scribes hiding it all and creating their one world religious communism.
Meanwhile, in Communist Canada, the soon to be submerged member state of Oceania…..
Homeowners in Pacific Northwest city are warned their land has now been given to NATIVE TRIBE… and that eviction could soon follow
The mayor of a picturesque city has warned homeowners they could soon lose their properties after a Canadian court ruled the land belongs to a native tribe.
The British Columbia Supreme Court awarded the Cowichan Tribes an Aboriginal title over roughly 800 acres of land in the city of Richmond, a suburb of Vancouver.

Businesses will move if the conditions are better elsewhere, most can just go to the US. The tribe says it isn’t interested in displacing homeowners, that will change when the businesses leave.
In NZ, some land was taken over by Maoris, in Auckland. They were leasehold houses.
The Maoris in increased the annual lease fee from $1,000 to $30,000 and the houses were basically worthless after that.
Someone scolded me from being racist once, and said I should be careful or I might come back as a black man after I die.
I said, if racism was so bad and I was going to be punished, God will send me back as a white man. That would be punishment. Why would I be rewarded by coming back as a black man? Infinite white pussy, free money and sheeeit – how would that be a punishment?
That got their gears turning. They knew the truth then. Liberal asshole.

Colombian ambassador to US recalled to Bogotá for consultations, embassy says
CNN
Colombia has recalled its ambassador to the United States “for consultations,” the Colombian Embassy in Washington announced Monday, the latest move in a diplomatic spat over the flow of illegal drugs and US attacks on alleged drug-smuggling boats and threats to punish the South American nation economically.
“The Ambassador of Colombia to the United States, Daniel García-Peña, has been recalled to Bogotá for consultations by President Gustavo Petro Urrego,” Foreign Minister Rosa Yolanda Villavicencio Mapy said in a statement posted on X.
“The Government of Colombia will announce the corresponding decisions in due course,” the minister added.
This is the second time the Colombian ambassador to Washington has been recalled this year. In July, the Colombian government summoned García-Peña after the United States did the same with its chief of mission in Bogotá, John T. McNamara, following Petro’s allegation that the US supported a plot to remove him from power. The White House denounced the claim as baseless.
Monday’s move comes a day after US President Donald Trump accused Petro of being “an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs.” Trump also threatened to cease “large scale payments and subsidies” to Colombia, which he sees as largely having failed to combat drug cartels producing illegal narcotics and shipping them to the US.
Trump later confirmed Sunday that his administration plans to raise tariffs on Colombia on Monday.
Tensions between Petro and Trump have been growing after the US deployed warships in the Caribbean and launched missiles to destroy vessels it claimed were trafficking drugs.
Seven vessels have now been attacked as part of these operations, leaving some 30 people dead. Petro claimed that some of the people on board were Colombians and accused the United States of “murder.” Meanwhile, a Colombian citizen aboard the latest vessel attacked was returned alive to his country this weekend.
U.S. and Australia sign critical-minerals agreement as a way to counter China
LA Times
President Trump and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese signed a critical-minerals deal at the White House on Monday as the U.S. eyes the continent’s rich rare-earth resources when China is imposing tougher rules on exporting its own critical minerals abroad.
The two leaders described the agreement as an $8.5 billion deal between the allies. Trump said it had been negotiated over several months.
“Today’s agreement on critical minerals and rare earths, is just taking” the U.S. and Australia’s relationship “to the next level,” Albanese added.
This month, Beijing announced that it will require foreign companies to get approval from the Chinese government to export magnets containing even trace amounts of rare-earth materials that originated from China or were produced with Chinese technology. Trump’s Republican administration says this gives China broad power over the global economy by controlling the tech supply chain.
“Australia is really, really going to be helpful in the effort to take the global economy and make it less risky, less exposed to the kind of rare earth extortion that we’re seeing from the Chinese,” Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House’s National Economic Council, told reporters on Monday morning ahead of Trump’s meeting with Albanese.
Hassett noted that Australia has one of the best mining economies in the world, while praising its refiners and its abundance of rare earth resources. Among the Australian officials accompanying Albanese are ministers overseeing resources and industry and science, and Australia has dozens of critical minerals sought by the U.S.
The prime minister’s visit comes just before Trump is planning to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea later this month.
For Albanese’s part, the prime minister said ahead of his visit that the two leaders will have a chance to deepen their countries’ ties on trade and defense. Another expected topic of discussion is AUKUS, a security pact with Australia, the U.S. and the United Kingdom that was signed during President Biden’s administration.
Trump has not indicated publicly whether he would want to keep AUKUS intact, and the Pentagon is reviewing the agreement.
“Australia and the United States have stood shoulder-to-shoulder in every major conflict for over a century,” Albanese said ahead of the meeting. “I look forward to a positive and constructive meeting with President Trump at the White House.”
The center-left Albanese was reelected in May and suggested shortly after his win that his party increased its majority by not modeling itself on Trumpism.
“Australians have chosen to face global challenges the Australian way, looking after each other while building for the future,” Albanese told supporters during his victory speech.

Bolivia’s president-elect says will resume ties with US after nearly two decades
Bolivia’s President-elect Rodrigo Paz wants to reinstate diplomatic ties with Washington
La Paz (AFP) – Bolivia’s new center-right president-elect said Monday he would seek to reinstate diplomatic ties with the United States that were broken off nearly two decades ago under leftist ex-leader Evo Morales.
“In the specific case of the United States… that relationship will be resumed,” economist-turned-senator Rodrigo Paz, 58, told reporters after emerging victorious in a run-off election Sunday.
He beat a fellow right-wing rival after voters in a first round in August delivered a critical blow to the socialist MAS party created by Morales and blamed by many for the South American country’s myriad economic woes.
Paz is set to take office on November 8.
Under Morales, in office from 2006 to 2019, Bolivia took a sharp turn to the left — nationalizing energy resources, breaking ties with Washington and making alliances with China, Russia and fellow leftists in Cuba, Venezuela and elsewhere in Latin America.
Morales in 2008 expelled the US ambassador and officials of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), accusing them of interference in Bolivia’s affairs. USAID officials followed in 2013.
Washington expelled Bolivia’s ambassador in retaliation, and the envoys were never replaced.
In his victory speech Sunday night, Paz proclaimed Bolivia was “reclaiming its place on the international stage.”
His victory was welcomed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who said in a statement that Washington “stands ready to partner with Bolivia on shared priorities.”
Rubio added that “after two decades of mismanagement, President-elect Paz’s election marks a transformative opportunity for both nations.”
I’m still a firm believer that all sides are controlled and the evil ones that run the USA are already in control of these south american countries, including China and Russia which they are prompting up for the future hegemony. Do we really think they want the USA to win the upcoming conflict, continue on as it has with it’s fiat money printing and still be the world leader? That doesn’t gel with all the draconian policies they want to force on the population. For some reason they want a storyline to war to emerge for the masses to consume and react to so they accept the new power structure.
So we had canadian mining/exploration stocks that popped on the Trumpy statements. What kind of south american stocks could be looked within this scenario and future Trumpy statements?
Yes, all sides are controlled. All the powers have Rothschild central banks.
This war has been planned for over a century. It must unfold this way. I don’t get caught up in the day to day red herrings. More and more traders are seeing what we already know.
Inflation and less stable economic conditions will persist from here on out until the end.
Yes, it’s all controlled, but it’s all very real nonetheless.
The precious metals traders are catching on to the endgame plan of destabilizing and destroying all fiat currency in an effort to consolidate wealth in preparation for a big event.
They caught on a long time ago.
This global war is coming since the largest single buyer out there is China. They are making their move.
Is it staged? All I know is it makes common sense.
The Jew banking powers supported the Chinese Red Communists back in the 1940s. They floated the dollar in 1971. They forced the US to offshore its industries to China in the 1970s. They worked to build up Chicom to make it the obvious enemy for this upcoming war.
These banking powers built up Soviet Russia back in the 1910s. Western money built it up. Western technology built up Russia and China.
Yes, the fix is in, but that doesn’t mean the war will be fake.
This upcoming WWIII will be staged but there will be real pain, real destruction, and real people getting killed, and real economic upheaval. It may look like a hoax until it comes to your doorstep. This one will come to most people’s doorstep one way or another.
This reset will be real and predetermined.
What do you mean by staged? That’s a term that’s used quite often in the alt media. It’s going to be all very real. It’s going to be a real war. The tableau was set in that all the opposing sides were built up. It’s been at least a century in the making.
Is it staged? That’s such an overused term. It’s very real. We can say World War I was staged. We can say World War II was staged. But does that really matter?
There’s a sense of denial in the alternative media, since it’s much easier to say something staged. Ipso facto, it’s fake. But that’s not the case at all.
I avoid using the term “staged,” because it’s so misused in the first place.
The hundreds of millions that will die will be all very real. The cities will burn. The armies will exploit and destroy. The guillotines will slice off heads.
All the while, the alternative media will say it was all staged.
fake + staged = theatre of war = non-organic total control-op = business of war = bankers’ wet dream
As we have always said, be the owner of the income generating assets. The more assets we own, the wealthier we become.
According to the Federal Reserve, 18% of all households in the United States are worth at least $1 million. That’s a lot of wealth and these households are primarily responsible for the growing economy and sustained personal spending levels. The bottom 50% don’t matter and have no say anyway.
A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
I see this every day at work. I think these people would work for zero pay in some cases.
Orchestrated is another term used for the purpose, and is possibly more acceptable.
Staged can mean it’s an AI fake, or it could mean it’s real but deliberately planned.
The interesting thing about wars is that each side makes a pretty solid case that “we had no choice”.
Wars seem to grow out of nothing and take on a life of their own. You only need to stage the lead-up to the war, and then the war is real.
Still staged though, essentially – but even the guys in charge might not know it.
Adolf Eichmann’s memoires were telling. (They are scrubbed off the internet now, I can’t find them anymore)
He said at the end of the book, that even after 20 years of thinking it over, he could not escape the feeling that the Germans were “played”. I guess he started to get it, so that’s why he had to be silenced.
We all get played. It’s a grand game.
