Description

By now the U.S. has effectively taken full control of Venezuela’s oil revenues, selling the crude and then depositing proceeds in Qatari accounts. This is framed as a new model of “sovereign resource capture” rather than traditional regime change. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how this process bypasses international creditors and legal systems through executive orders, marking a shift toward financial control as a tool of empire. They connect this to broader fears about digital currencies, financial surveillance, and a future where governments and corporations control access to money and services. The segment concludes that geopolitics is moving away from international law toward whoever controls payment systems, data, and offshore accounts.

The money was sent to Qatar that Trump will control and oversee. It didn't go to U.S. Treasury, but to offshore accounts in Qatar.
