Armed Venezuelan gang memebers are stealing oil, copper wire, diesel fuel and catalyst elements from Texas oil fields in West Texas, according to a memo issued to employees.

According to the memo obtained by LibsofTikTok, a Texas-based oil company issued a memo to employees warning them about security concerns from violent migrant gangs.

Venezuelan gang members are using vehicles to run workers and witnesses off the road as they steal oil and diesel fuel.

Per the memo:

Dr. McCullough on the “Serious Problem” Spike Protein Poses to Our Health

Industry peers and law enforcement in West Texas (WTX) are aware of a recent increase in organized criminal activity inclusive of violent crimes, gang activity and oil field thefts in and around WTX operational areas. Specifically, regional law enforcement and the FBI advised that gang members emanating from Cuba and Venezuela are organizing and working in concert to commit thefts within the Permian Basin. These individuals and groups are armed, violent in nature and will not hesitate to use force.

The third-world culture has now arrived in the U.S. and it was brought in and funded with our tax dollars. It will keep getting worse unless these thugs and their fellow country men are all physically removed from our nation.

SSS is a good policy to have in the rural areas of the country when there are third-world violent criminals/gang-members roaming free.

Shoot, shovel, and shut-up.

The Democrat Party committed a heinous act intentionally flooding America with these, and other, invaders.

The GOP is doing nothing to stop it, and won't even talk about it. They are responsible, as well.

We are talking about a tanker full. 175 barrels.

Yes but think about the criminal mind.

175 x $68/bbl = $11,900. Thieves may get $500 for it. For two thieves that's $250 each, which for a legit job would be 8 hours at $31.25/hr, or two days at $15.60 per hour.

Greed knows no limit. The same sort of people that fence stolen items.

I remember back in the 80s on 60 Minutes where Andy Rooney tried to buy a barrel of oil straight out and no one could sell it to him.

Probably a gag bit funny.

To make sure that the royalty owner is not getting screwed, you have to have a permit to buy and transport the crude.

There are plenty of places in west Texas to dispose of their bodies.

They won't need to, and oilfield workers know it. The buzzards, coyotes, and fire ants will make fast work of them. Most oilfield workers I know are armed. What you will see happen is the oilfield companies will start having workers travel together and defending themselves. Worse case scenario is they will start putting together their own security companies to look out for the workers. They've done it before.

They are. But, they aren't stupid enough to take on a band of roving armed thugs by themselves. They will start traveling together in numbers, and the oil companies will put together their own security teams to look out for the workers. They've done it before.

But it’s not all gloom and doom. Texas also has a State Guard. Maybe a Texas FReeper can say more about that.

And a bunch of militia members, too.

You welcome them with “mi casa, su casa” and they take you at your word. It’s like one of those movies where a psycho drifter comes to stay at your house (nanny, handyman, boarder, etc.) and they start to take over. You lose your friends, your credibility, your job, your credit, your car, your vote...
Eventually it winds up in a fight to the death.
Because the law won’t protect you and the cops can’t save you. You’re on your own.

But guts are not everywhere. We are in a different stage now. We are in decay.
