CNBC: U.S. issues expanded license to allow Chevron to import Venezuelan oil
* Chevron received an expanded U.S. license allowing it to resume production in Venezuela and to import the South American country’s crude into the U.S.
* The decision allows Chevron to revive existing oil projects in the U.S.-sanctioned country and bring new oil supplies to refiners in the U.S.
* The deal restricts cash payments to Venezuela, however, which could reduce the amount of oil available to Chevron.
Chevron on Saturday received an expanded U.S. license allowing the second-largest U.S. oil company to resume production in Venezuela and to import the South American country’s crude into the United States.
The decision allows Chevron to revive existing oil projects in the U.S.-sanctioned country and bring new oil supplies to refiners in the United States. However, it restricts cash payments to Venezuela, which could reduce the amount of oil available to Chevron.
License terms are designed to prevent Venezuelan state-run oil firm PDVSA from receiving proceeds from Chevron’s Venezuelan petroleum sales, U.S. officials said. The license lasts for six months and will be automatically renewed monthly thereafter, according to the U.S. Treasury.

As usual. Washington makes a decision that makes no sense.

It actually makes perfect sense if you look at from an American Eco-Marxist perspective.
ReplyDeleteThe alternative media has reported the story.
ReplyDeleteIt makes perfect sense. Perfect in the sense that if you start with certain axioms, then this is the inexorable result.
a) The ruling oligarchy can make life hard for the pleb, but not too hard. Therefore, the price of oil must come down at least temporarily.
b) You have to keep up the pretense of not drilling to make the green acolytes, dervishes and faithful happy by banning oil exploration in the US. Oil exploration outside the Western World can be disavowed, if it is noticed at all. If it is notice the MSM will spring into action with info jamming like a wild weasel. They will disgorge clickbait, chaff or shiny objects. If person makes it through all that and the flak, they will face fact check articles, where the MSM has a second bite at the propaganda apple.
YOU CAN'T make this shit up.
ReplyDeleteWe're living in vaudeville days,
Send in the Clowns. 🤡
A socialist wink. What say you?
ReplyDeleteThe mission is to break the American oil sector, and impose so called green energy. As they have declared.
ReplyDeleteSomething odd is here today . All the comments agree and make sense. LoL
ReplyDeleteOdd? ODD?
ReplyDeleteCould it be the cabal behind Joe Biden is that fucking stupid and so creates agreement?
August 2020 posted that America was or would become a Banana Republic. The only difference with the ones in Central America was that is was obviously much larger and it was "new and improved" with nukes.
You sir, have anger issues which has disturbing effects on your thought process.
ReplyDeleteIf you think all these guys supported Biden or any party of the BLOB I think you are mistaken.
Third world buddy. That's where you are. Embrace the suck and just remember there will be a new day to come. But that day, I fear, will be after walking a path of blood.
Russ 2:18 & Amp 1776 have always agreed on 7 out of 10 or 9 of 10 policy issues. So no biggie, if they agree now.
ReplyDeleteI've lived in seven countries; I do not have to embrace anything.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing about blood. It loves company. I can see Moscow becoming a swamp of the kind written about in dystopian science fiction.
I have long said you have to get rid of 75% to 95% of Democrats and 75% of more of Republicans in Congress.
I am more than willing to play a game.
