Epstein & The Kingpin of Venezuela:

First, some quick US foreign policy details:

This year, the US significantly expanded sanctions on China, Iran and Venezuela.

However, #Venezuela, in particular, has been accused of devasted US communities by flooding them...
The Venezuelan Problem:

In response to sanctions, the Maduro regime has militarily taken over their outlying islands, locking down their populations, holding their 448,300 residents hostage to effectively deter US forces from taking major actions.
Also important to understand, the US, Russia and Saudi Arabia have dramatically increased natural gas and oil production, supplying energy to Europe and elsewhere, effectively cornering the market.
The Maduro Regime is running out of money, They’ve tried to increase oil production (only to suffer major infrastructure failures), and increase their illegal contraband...
The Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell Connection:

Listed in #Epstein’s Black Book, is a Venezuelan business mogul, by the name of Gustavo Cisneros.

Why is this important?
Well, Cisneros just happens to be the wealthiest man in Venezuela, owning the multi-national holdings company, The Cisneros Group (operated by the family), which controls the largest media network in South America...
...with a multi-national reach of 40 million households in 21 countries.

Cisneros has also been suspected of masterminding the coup against former Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, and although many media outlets insist he is not associated with Maduro, it is speculated...
...that they have a very tight relationship.

Now that’s extremely significant.

For decades, Cisneros has acted as the diplomatic conduit between officials in the US (George Bush, Clinton, and Obama) and Venezuela, and other Latin American countries.
It is also speculated that Cisneros capitalized on Venezuela’s economic collapse by expanding his company’s holdings in the region.

Could Cisneros have a major role in the current situation?

What's your opinion?

What's next for #Venezuela?

Let's keep our eye on the situation.
