President Trump is waging war on the Maduro Regime, not Venezuela. But contrary to common belief, it is not about the drugs. It is not even about the vast Venezuela oil reserves. It is literally about the very survival of America.
You are about to learn something that only a virtual handful of people - power players - know and understand. And the future of the United States literally lies in the balance - if Trump succeeds, America will be the #1 geopolitical power for generations to come. If he fails, America is done and there is no coming back.
Most people believe Trump's interest in Venezuela rests with destroying narco-terrorism, because that is the narrative the administration put forth in order to get the support of the public, and the visuals of blowing up drug boats gave us all a reason to cheer. Recently, however, we have learned it goes deeper. It's not just drugs. And it's not just oil, either, although that plays an important role.
In 2007 Hugo Chavez, leader of Venezuela, nationalized oil fields that were developed by American oil companies like Exxon-Mobil, effectively stealing the oil that was due to America. Chavez, and now Maduro (who is an illegitimate president) provides that oil to countries like China and Iran. On December 17, 2025 President Trump declared he wants that oil back, enriching America while choking off our geopolitical enemies. To that end he began seizing oil tankers leaving Venezuela. In doing so, he hopes to cripple Maduro enough to cause his regime to topple, and allow the duly elected political party to regain control.
When that happens Trump would assist the new government in kicking China out, and he intends to create a partnership with Venezuela where we would help them become a vibrant economic powerhouse in exchange for certain resources - like the oil. But that is only a minor aim. And here is where America's future will be determined.
Venezuela has other natural resources that are even more valuable and more crucial than oil - vast sources of both gold (est 10,000 tons) and silver, but mostly silver. Now, if you have kept up, you know that the nation that leads in AI is the nation that will lead the world. And AI requires vast numbers of data centers, which will require almost unimaginable electrical power. And they will require 20-100 times the amount of silver that is currently available in the world today. If America is to remain the uncontested #1 power, it will need every ounce of silver it can get. Currently, all that silver is being sent to China. And that must stop!
But that is still not the end game. Trump is several moves ahead of almost eveyone. If you recall, in his first term he mentioned that in order to remain the #1 economic power, America MUST stop financing itself with Federal Reserve IOU's and return to a gold and silver monetary standard, to guarantee the U.S. dollar is the strongest form of money on Earth. Only Russia runs on a gold standard, and they cannot compete with America.
I believe Trump's ultimate goal is to return to gold and silver as backing for American currency and eliminate the Federal Reserve except as a repository. And that would result in the value of silver to rise to as much as $500/ounce or more. Why? It would have to...
Think about it - how much silver would we need in order to back the trillions of dollars America runs on if silver is valued at $50/ounce. There is not enough silver on the planet. On the other hand, we would only need 10% as much if the value were $500/oz. Our supply of silver could finance so much more and guarantee our economic sovereignty for generations to come.
It likely will not happen in 2026, and maybe not even in 2027. But if Trump's plan works (see the caveat, below), it will happen before he leaves office. Meanwhile, it would not hurt to start "stacking". Do that and you could become far wealthier than you ever dreamed possible.
As a side note, Greenland - another place that has Trump's great interest - also has great, virtually untapped reserves of gold, silver, oil and rare earth minerals. And if America does not get them, our adversaries will.
The "short take" - if our Republic is to survive, and remain the most powerful geopolitical force the world has ever known, it is IMPERATIVE that America becomes the AI leader, which, in turn, would require massive reserves of silver, oil and rare earth minerals. Reserves that we do not yet have. President Trump has formulated a plan for making that happen.
Now for the possible fly in the ointment (the caveat):
All of the plan - toppling Maduro so the duly elected president and Trump ally Edmundo González can regain control , creating a partnership with Venezuela, getting all that oil and silver - will take at least 2 years to put into action. And to make it happen, Trump will need to have a Republican House and Senate. If we lose either (or both) in this year's mid-terms, it all comes to a screeching halt- a Democrat Congress can - and would - stop the Trump America First agenda. America will lose the battle for "King of the Hill" and China will rule. It would be a loss we could never recover from - China, with all that silver would be the AI leader, and the strongest economic powerhouse on the planet. And that is why we MUST win the mid-terms. And to do that, each and every one of us must not only vote, but we must convince others to do so, even if we have to drag them kicking and screaming to the polls.
The 2026 mid-terms will be the most consequential election in the history of our Republic. This one is for all the marbles, folks! If you love America, you must do your part, and that includes sharing this post everywhere so it reaches almost every household. The People need to be made aware. If they remain complacent or apathetic thinking their vote does not matter, we lose. We lose it all!
If you love America and freedom, you will do all you can to help keep the House and Senate this year.
