Signs showing Venezuela already escaping Western sanctions through the 'back door' of its new Cryptocurrency


The developments in the field of the global currency war are rapid. Venezuela proceeds fast in issuing its own Cryptocurrency by mobilizing a potential of more than 800,000 'miners' inside the country!

The most fascinating thing in the whole story, is probably the fact that the stupid Western strategy of sabotaging the Venezuelan economy through various actions inside and outside the country, is pushing Venezuela towards a pioneering path of the electronic transactions of the future.

As TeleSur reports:

This would be the first time that Venezuela's “Petros” receive the endorsement of other nations. During a meeting with foreign investors, Minister José Vielma Mora announced Tuesday that he received a “group of Brazilian businesspeople who wished to invest in Venezuela US$300 million, starting with a US$100 million inversion.”

Poland, Dinamarca, Honduras, Norway, Vietnam among others also expressed interest in exporting goods to Venezuela like food and medicine for a total amount of US$435 million, while receiving payment with Venezuela's new crypto-currency, reported Venezuela's Ministry of Foreign Trade. He added that a Canadian trade chamber also planned to invest in Venezuela “in pharmaceutics for humans and animals.” He recalled that the government emitted a total 82,4 million Petros for a start, to be put on pre-sale on Feb. 20 through the creation and sale of a token from the blockchain platform Ethereum.

President Nicolas Maduro created the Petro last Dec. 3 in order to counter the economic blockade imposed by the United States and Europe, while giving the country news ways of accessing the international market.

Already 860,000 Venezuelans have signed up to be part of the South American nation’s “mining” team. The Registry of Cryptocurrency Miners, which was launched by Venezuela's Superintendence of Cryptocurrencies and Related Activities, will remain open until Jan. 21, and is the only portal by which mine farmers can access the new cryptocurrency.

The Superintendency, as well as the Blockchain Observatory, will regulate how the Petro functions.



The big news here is that foreign countries and investors, even from the West, seem to have ignored, at least for now, the 'order' of the US empire to exclude Venezuela from their transactions. Also, it seems that they have no problem with the fact that oil deposits are currently under state control. This is highly important because we know that Venezuela has become a primary target of the US empire since Hugo Chavez years because he had the 'audacity' to nationalize oil deposits, throwing the US big oil companies out of the country.

These are further signs that the dollar-dominated global economy may end sooner than one would have thought.

When in mid-October 2017, Russia announced that is considering to issue its own Cryptocurrency, the Cryptorouble, we estimated that, with the technology of more powerful computers in close future that could 'mine' Cryptocurrencies at much faster rate, the number of people who will choose to abandon traditional currencies may rise rapidly. Those who will set-up such a de-centralized financial system, will gain a great advantage against the obsolete system of traditional currencies controlled by central banks. Even entire countries may choose to jump into the new system, in order to escape from the monopoly of the Western hard currencies.

The fierce economic war against Venezuela has forced the country to move faster than Russia and dare to make a risky pioneer step. It seems that it may be proved quite effective in its effort to bypass the Western monetary monopoly.

If Venezuela succeeds, Pandora's box will open for good. It would be very difficult for the Western financial centers to control the brand new 'universe' of alternative transactions. Naturally, the more countries will start adopting the Cryptocurrency alternative, the more Wall Street panic will grow.

Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global South to fully escape from dollar tyranny

globinfo freexchange   Does Trump know what he is doing? Well, yes and no. While many interpretate his latest move, mostly as an attempt to halt China, his main goal is to give the final blow to the neoliberal order on behalf of his oligarchs .  From this perspective, Trump's unprecedented decision to decide mass tariffs against almost everyone, was an act of strategic hit against the global free market neoliberalism, with the financial capital  at its top. And that's because this dominant-for-almost-half-century system, identifies restrictions and protectionism as major threats against its own existence. In other words, Trump acted as a commander of the capitalist faction that wants to beat its neoliberal rivals and put itself in charge, through a new transformation of capitalism into a 21st century corporate feudalism.   Concerning China, Trump's move may have some negative impact on its economy for a while, since China has chosen to partially play by the rule...

Deranged euroclowns want to revive a nazi-origin project!

globinfo freexchange   Behind the ridiculously cartoonish latest spot of the EU that gives "instructions" to the European citizens on how to deal with a major crisis during the first hours, lies a secret desire.    The deranged euroclowns of the crypto-fascist extreme center , are trying to build up a condition of consent inside the minds of Europeans, which is related to their biggest wet dream: an autonomous imperialist European army. The idea was not born suddenly because of Trump's hostile attitude against his own allies. From the early 50s, pan-European networks of neo-Nazis were created. In May 1951, the European Social Movement (MSE) was founded in Malmö, Sweden. Essentially, it was about projecting the ideology of the German SRP on a pan-European level. The MSE, which would remain active until the 1980s, proclaimed the need for Europe to emancipate itself from the divisive tutelage of the USA and the USSR, called for the defense of the “European race” against th...

Google Imports Ex Israeli Spies, The Genocide Resumes, Cruel Britannia

by Nate Bear   Part 3 - Cruel Britannia   The UK is moving ahead with large welfare cuts for disabled people, including those with cancer. On TV the other day, the UK’s health secretary Wes Streeting said that people with cancer should be in work, not at home resting. Alongside this, the government has said that to cut youth employment it will push young people to join the army. This, of course, is in the context of a massive expenditure on military weapons in the face of the Russian bogeyman.   What’s happening in the UK under a nominally centre-left Labour government is a good reminder that there is never a lesser evil if your leaders are neoliberals. Balancing the books on the backs of the poorest and most vulnerable in society is the north star of all neoliberals, whether they call themselves centrists, left wing or right wing. Cruelty is the policy and the point.    Yet the last few years have also been a good reminder that everything is a choice. Cov...

UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese: World is watching a live genocide in Gaza and doing nothing

The New Arab   As Israel’s war on Gaza enters its 19th month, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese is sounding the alarm louder than ever: the world is watching a live genocide — and doing nothing to stop it. In an exclusive interview with The New Arab , Albanese describes the devastation in Gaza as unparalleled since WWII. Entire neighbourhoods lie in ruins, tens of thousands are dead, and 91% of Gaza’s population is at risk of malnutrition. Over 60,000 children show signs of cognitive impairment due to starvation.  “This is not just war. This is genocide in real time,” she says. “What we are seeing now is the destruction of a people who refuse to leave.” Despite UN mandates and international law, Albanese says the global system is paralysed, and governments, corporations, and even universities are complicit. “If Palestine were a crime scene, it would bear all our fingerprints.”

Google Imports Ex Israeli Spies, The Genocide Resumes, Cruel Britannia

by Nate Bear   Part 2 - The genocide resumes   The day before the Wiz deal, Israel resumed its genocide of Gaza with an unhinged bloodthirsty rampage, the deadliest twenty-four hours in the last nearly eighteen months of genocide. A high bar had been set, and it was cleared. They attacked at night, itself an act of utter cowardice and sadism, and slaughtered hundreds as they slept in tents. In tents. Close to one hundred babies and young children were killed. The overall death toll exceeds 400 and is rising. As expected, there is not a flicker of condemnation from world leaders, many of whom are arming Israel with the weapons and intelligence it needs for genocide. The British air force spent the ceasefire period gathering intelligence on Palestinians and feeding it to Israel so they could restart the mass murder efficiently.  The genocide is the end of the west. It destroys any claim to moral superiority over Russia, China, Iran or any of the officially designated bad g...
