Establishment elites have always had a predilection for regime change. Obviously, this strategy helps weed out nation states that might be uncooperative with their future plans for a fully centralized global economic and political order. We have also seen regime change occur when former puppet leaders go rogue and refuse to follow the script they have been given. Most of these men have been dictators and are not very empathetic public figures, so we rarely care when they get overthrown or murdered. But there are always wider implications to such events.

In recent years, I believe the reasons for regime change and the destabilization of particular countries have evolved. In the past it was about bringing each country under the new world order umbrella. Today, the goal seems to be an attempt to create points of global contention. That is to say, the elites want to draw much of the world into various forms of conflict, and they are using special regions of the world as nexus points for this conflict.

Syria was and still is one of those nexus points. The transmutation of Syria began as an extension of the Arab Spring. Western funded and organized coups in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt inspired even more extremism as well as a vast flow of black-market military grade armaments. The CIA in particular took advantage of this chaos to fill training camps in Jordan with “moderate rebels,” the same rebels that would go on to launch ISIS and start a civil war in Syria.

While the billion-dollar program to arm and supply Syrian rebel groups, many of which were closely tied to ISIS, was finally “officially ended” under the Trump administration in 2017, more covert U.S. support for these groups as well support for Israeli incursions into sovereign Syrian air space continue.

Syria has had the potential to draw multiple nations into close and hostile proximity with each other, including the U.S., Russia, Israel and Iran. This was not a mistake, it was entirely deliberate.

I warned of the potential exploitation of Syria as a global nexus point for years before the actual insurgency took place because of the unique military alliances in the region. The only reason Syria has not yet been exploited to its full potential is because of the effective exposure of the conspiracy by the alternative media. The establishment push to use American troops to help ISIS extremists overthrow Bashar al-Assad presidency was thwarted. The mainstream media originally portrayed ISIS groups as courageous clean-cut rebels fighting for freedom. This ended after the alternative media flooded the web with evidence of rebel led genocide.

Had the American public and American troops been tricked into even deeper involvement in Syria as well as helping ISIS overthrow Assad, this could have potentially pushed us into direct confrontation with either Russia or Iran or both, while we would be seen as the villains, supporting monsters as they committed war crimes in the name of an ideology many Americans despise.

Those unfamiliar with the concept of the False East/West Paradigm will probably be at a loss as to why the establishment would want to deliberately undermine America’s geopolitical or economic position. Once they understand that both China and Russia maintain close ties to the globalist framework, and that they represent false opposition to the “new world order,” the reality of the situation becomes clearer.

I recommend my article ‘In The New “Multipolar World” The Globalists Still Control All The Players‘ for facts and evidence as well as analysis. The engineered destabilization of the U.S. and parts of Europe and the rise of the East is intended to cause the removal of the current economic model of sovereign nations and currencies led by the U.S. dollar as the world reserve. This would leave quite a void in the global economic structure, a void which the elites plan to fill with a new centralized one world currency system.

This system, to be managed by the International Monetary Fund, has been openly supported by both the Chinese and Russian governments. The delusion that the East is somehow opposed to the NWO melts away when we examine their longtime alliances to the banking cabal, as well as the International Monetary Fund programs the East champions. But how do the elites plan to get the masses to go along with such a historic and painful shift in global economic architecture?

In my view, the confrontations in regions of confluence like Syria are intended to lead to World War; not in the form of a nuclear war, but in the form of a full spectrum economic war. There is another region beyond Syria that I have also been warning about for many years as a potential nexus, or what the elites might call a “linchpin.” That region is Venezuela.

In my article ‘How A Collapse In Venezuela Could Trigger Martial Law In the U.S.‘, published in May 2016, I outlined how the socialist structure of Venezuela in particular was so unstable that the slightest push could cause the entire country to topple. Venezuela did indeed crash economically to the point that martial law is the only mainstay holding the system together.

I have also warned that a collapse in Venezuela could spread into surrounding countries, already weakened by fiscal uncertainty and debt. Such a collapse in South America rather strangely matches the scenario described in Operation Garden Plot and Rex 84, a secret Pentagon plan exposed during the Iran/Contra affair which would use mass migrations from South or Central America as a rationale to enforce martial law measures within the United States.

In recent months, however, the Trump Administration has added a new dimension to the problem. Expanding sanctions against Venezuela are adding fire to the flames of economic collapse. With an even more aggressive stance against Nicolas Madruro including possible military action, the prospect of a direct U.S. led coup is now on the table.

One would think that if the U.S. government wanted a breakdown in Venezuela, all they would have to do is sit back and wait as the socialist nation imploded under its own faulty economic policies. But apparently the country was not collapsing fast enough for the elites. My theory — the goal is to create another Syria, but this time much closer to U.S. borders.

Venezuela has close ties to not only Russia, but also China. Venezuela’s military ties to Russia are well-known. Their military is supplied to this day by Russia, and Russia has been very vocal in their opposition to any U.S. military involvement in the region.

Both China and Russia continue to support Nicolas Madruro as the president of Venezuela in the face of opposition from assembly leader Juan Guaido. The U.S. and a number of European nations support Guaido. The question is, how far will a confrontation in Venezuela go?

U.S. involvement in South and Central America does not paint a pretty picture. Reagan era coups in countries like El Salvador in the name of stopping communism created not only civil war, but also the installation of more violent dictators and regimes (look up the White Hand death squads in El Salvador for the ugly details). We saw the use of death squads and extremists in the destabilization of Syria. The establishment is not generally very creative in their tactics; they simply use the same methods over and over again because they succeed more than they fail historically.

If this dynamic happens again in Venezuela, I predict immediate and aggressive economic response from Russia and China, including yet another excuse for China to dump its U.S. Treasury Bond holdings and dollar reserves, effectively killing the dollar’s world reserve status.

It should not be considered a coincidence that the situation with Venezuela is being accelerated at the same time as tensions between the U.S., China and Russia are hitting a crescendo. Add yet another regional conflict similar to Syria on top of the trade war, and the potential for a financial World War III is high. If allowed to play out uninterrupted, such an event provides perfect cover for the “global reset” and the shift to a one world economic model. The U.S. would be hit the hardest by this reset, and with the Trump Administration driven by globalist warmongers like John Bolton, there would be little sympathy from the rest of the world when the consequences land on our doorstep.
