Kidnapping Maduro to Lower Gas Prices

from ICE In Minnesota & Venezuela Without Maduro | The Tim Dillon Show #478 · #478

6 min

Tim discusses the capture of Maduro and the U.S. stealing Venezuelan oil, arguing it's really about lowering commodity prices, and imagines a future where the U.S. routinely kidnaps foreign leaders (and eventually American officials) to control costs of goods like blueberries and maple syrup.

In this bit13 moments
  • Tim claims the US captured Maduro and is stealing Venezuela's oil, and gas prices must come down to justify it.
  • It's now widely accepted that military interventions are just about stealing oil, with no pretense otherwise.
  • The American people won't care about kidnapping foreign leaders if commodity prices fall as a result.
  • Tim describes waking up to news headlines about different world leaders the US has kidnapped, presented as routine.
  • He catalogs what resources each country provides: Colombia yields blow and coffee; the pattern extends to any nation.
  • Before World War III arrives, the US will kidnap foreign leaders to artificially lower the cost of imported goods.
  • Tim imagines a grocery store scenario where cheap blueberries result from special forces assassinating Maine's governor.
  • Citizens won't care about the violence or ethical cost if cheaper gas reaches $3 a gallon.
  • The precedent is established: the US will kidnap leaders overseas, fly them to Brooklyn, and steal their resources.
  • Eventually this practice expands domestically—cheap maple syrup justified by burning Vermont's governor and his family.
  • Trump and leadership know they must cheapen gas and food or face revolt as life deteriorates for ordinary people.
  • They cannot maintain the current economic trajectory without making life materially easier for the population.
  • Easier life for people is the only way to prevent collapse.
