Private Dancer

Last weekend, the world was treated to a most unexpected development in geopolitical affairs – the seizure and extradition of narco ruler Nicolas Maduro. It was a daring raid, no doubt. And people will have their own opinions on it which is perfectly fine. However, I’d like to approach this from another standpoint.

Sure, the fentanyl/heroin aspect looms large, and of course there’s the deliciiiiiosssa 303 billion barrels of oil (Orinoco Sour, as it’s referred to by industry fellows). But for those reasons to have coalesced into the action we saw Sunday morning, there had to be…a catalyst.

Multiple agency insiders have pointed out that the final straw, the final insult that broke the camel’s back was public video footage of Nicolas Maduro dancing in a manner egging on President Donald Trump.

It’s one thing to antagonize someone just to antagonize them, but it’s another thing to antagonize someone and, at the same time, bring destruction and ruin into their lives in different ways.

Nicolas Maduro’s heroin and fentanyl distribution efforts are linked to thousands of US citizen deaths. Not to mention the tangential businesses that spring up in conjunction with narcotics demand; human trafficking, child prostitution, racketeering – the list goes on and on.

The last thing I would be doing, if I were causing all this, is dancing around publicly in view of press cameras.

As you all know, I am a big believer in the deities of primordial, cosmic justice. Yes, there are instances when I have good days and it makes me want to do a little jig to blazing musical tracks like this 😂 . But those jigs are done in the privacy of my livingroom so as not to incur the scrutiny and judgement of Themis or Nemesis. And honestly, if someone wants to watch me dancing that says more about their capacity for self-punishment than it says anything about me 😂

      doesn’t it start out like that??? lol. maybe the watusi has different variations in different countries.

      but the Watusi isn’t done privately, it’s done publicly…in the middle of the day…the middle of the grocery store.

      then again, maybe this is why I’m racking up public disturbance police charges 😂😂😂

    Disgraceful video of M talking about invoking the Divine Trinity to grant perpetual peace for the people of Venezuela when he’s reportedly oppressed, murdered, imprisoned, and starved them.

      EXACTLY! i could not agree more strongly. and the worst part is that no one could do or say anything. not even the catholic priests in attendance.

      if anything, doing that and all the dancing is probably what drew the ire of higher powers.

      for sure, he’s definitely going for the oil there. it helps. it deleverages OPEC and Russia and frees the western territories of Canada from Ottowa holding it hostage.

      but more importantly, he wants Maduro to talk about the Dominion voting machines and who gets paid stateside. the goal is to provide probable cause to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and DOJ that there was voting fraud in 2020. this will enable him to rescind all of Joe Biden’s 228 judicial appointees in the district and circuit courts as well as the Keystone XL legislation and whatever else he penned, or autopenned, into law. and whoever else gets caught in the net, they’ll go ahead and prosecute.

      regardless of what side of the aisle we’re on – it’s a pretty slick maneuver. changes the game. that’s why Governors Walz and Newsome have no choice but to double down on their ICE gambits.

    Wait, was he actually preaching? 🙄. I was confused for a minute.

    The oil should be blamed 😁. Who understands politics. Everyone has their own agenda. I also read that Trump doesn’t like Machado.

    Mike, I think you’ll make more money private dancing 🤫 🤣.

      Again risking or justifying war over oil?! This time with the illegal, deadly invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of its leader. … And we have seen such blatant Western foreign-policy immorality and criminality before.

      With Iran, there has been a predictable American-UK proclivity for sanctioning the nation, its officials and even their allies since the Iranian Revolution, resulting in, among other negative impacts, reduced oil production revenue by the country long-demonized by much of the West.

      The 1979 Iranian Revolution’s expulsion of major Western nations was in large part due to British and American companies exploiting Iran’s plentiful fossil fuel. The expulsion may have been a big-profit-losing lesson learned by the ‘energy’-corporation heads, one that they, via intense lobbyist influence over the relevant governments in Washington and London, would resist reoccurring anywhere globally.

      It would be understandable if those corporate fossil-fuel interests would like Iran’s government to fall thus re-enabling their access to Iran’s resources. Thus, if Iran were to militarily surrender to Western forces thus big corporate interests, soon-enough afterwards it will also be compelled to surrender access to much of its vast fossil fuel reserves to American and British ‘energy’ companies. Those corporations, and likely Israel’s government/interests as well, know there’s still much to be effectively appropriated.

      The U.S./British invasion and prolonged occupation of Iraq (2003-11) very likely were viciously violent acts largely motivated by such Western insatiable corporate greed. According to AI Overview (for what it’s worth), “some [U.S.] companies did secure lucrative contracts for oil services and exploration in Iraq following the war.” Also, “British oil companies, particularly BP, significantly benefited from the Iraq War by gaining access to and exploiting Iraq’s vast oil reserves.”

      I read/heard nothing in the mainstream news-media about these post-war foreign fossil-fuel-corporation incursions into Iraq; and I doubt that the morally-/ethically-challenged news outlets would objectively/fully report on similar big-business incursions into a post-war-defeat Iran.

        This is history repeating itself over again. Was it Aldous Huxley who said, ‘We learn from history that we do not learn from history’.

        What’s going on today is more devastating than ever. Do we still have an incorruptible media, ones who still believe in truth and integrity and who are not opinionated? Even media outlets lean towards a particular side. No one is objective anymore.

    In the case of fentanyl, international and more-local illegal merchants of the drug-abuse/-addiction scourge are (rightfully) targeted for long-overdue political action and criminal justice, yet Western pharmaceutical corporations have intentionally pushed their own very addictive and profitable opiate product essentially with justice-system impunity resulting in direct and indirect immense suffering and overdose death numbers for many years later and likely many more yet to come.

    It indeed was a real ethical and moral crime, yet, likely due to their potent lobbyist influence on heavily-capitalistic Western governance, they got off relatively lightly and only through civil litigation. … Instead, drug addiction and addicts are misperceived by supposedly sober folk as being weak-willed and/or having committed the moral crime.

    Commonly societally overlooked or ignored is that intense addiction usually does not originate from a bout of boredom, where a person occasionally consumed recreationally but became heavily hooked on a self-medicating substance that eventually destroyed their life and even those of loved-ones.

    Especially when the substance abuse is due to past formidable mental trauma, the lasting solitarily-suffered turmoil can readily make each day an ordeal unless the traumatized mind is medicated. And too often the worth(lessness) of the substance abuser is measured basically by their ‘productivity’ or lack thereof. Aware of this, they may then begin perceiving themselves as worthless and accordingly live and self-medicate their daily lives more haphazardly.

    The greater the induced euphoria or escape one attains from it, the more one wants to repeat the experience; and the more intolerable one finds their non-self-medicating reality, the more pleasurable that escape will likely be perceived. In other words: the greater one’s mental pain or trauma while not self-medicating, the greater the need for escape from one’s reality — all the more addictive the euphoric escape-form will likely be.

    Those videos were funny as hell. I think Maduro is a better dancer, though. What’s up with all these old people and their bad dancing? I might need to show them how it’s done. 😂

      LOL 😂 hey, what has to be done HAS TO BE DONE!

      as an aside, you would think Maduro learned a lesson from Pablo Escobar after the latter ended up p*$$*ng Bush Sr. off – the one guy in the world he shouldn’t have.

        That’s right.

        Speaking of Escobar, Netflix has the show Narcos. Man, these are good, including the one from Mexico.
