The U.S. has confiscated Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro‘s $13 billion plane in the Dominican Republic due to violations of sanctions, as reported by CNN.

Earlier this year, the United States reinstated sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas industry due to the Maduro administration’s refusal to facilitate “an inclusive and competitive election.”

According to U.S. officials, the aircraft was flown to Florida on Monday, underscoring escalating tensions between the two nations.

Seizing by Sanctions? No trial? Court? The decline of the US began with their “Sanctions “, THEFT of property, lawlessness.

As we are seeing, countries are fleeing US investments, and especially US debt instruments ( bonds, Treasury notes)…..do as we say or we confiscate your money- Lawlessness.

This is the primary driver for the BRICS M Bridge “ Unit”, it will bury the USD. The “ Unit” is backed by Gold and countries commodities, food, oil, energy, etc.

All eyes on the BRICS Summit in October. 78 countries have expressed interest in joining, more than 65 percent of the world’s population. The USD is toast.

Yes. It was loaded with cocaine for importing into the US.

https://zinniahealth.com/substance-use/cocaine/costs listed the following prices for cocaine.

Gram of Cocaine $60-$200 per gram
Ounce of Cocaine $1,100-$1,800 per ounce
Kilogram of Cocaine $13,000-$26,000 per kg
8-Ball of Cocaine $60-$150 for 3.5 grams

Even at the one gram price for the 900EX's maximum payload of 6,164 lbs, that's a little over half a billion at $200/gram maximum.

And just look at the difference in price between retail per gram and wholesale per kilogram (equivalent of $13-$26/gram). That's why I buy in bulk at CostCocaine warehouse club. And free samples on Saturdays!

The $13 billion in the headline got me to look.

Then I realized that it’s an inflationary Democrat (communist) hell hole, and that it _WAS_ $13 million...

...but now, with the ongoing commie inflation there, the $13 billion is correct...

...oops, while writing this it went up to $130 billion...

See? This is why I trust nothing coming out of TGP.

A $13 billion dollar biz jet? Really? Ain't no such thing.

All the other sources, including CNN are reporting this as a $13 million jet.

They would be French rifles, never fired, dropped only once. The name escapes me.
