Biden OKs Venezuela Oil Imports After OPEC+ Production Cut Disaster. CARACAS- The Biden administration, through the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), issued a license to California-based Chevron on Saturday that allows the company to produce and export oil from Venezuela.

OFAC specifically states that Chevron is allowed to engage in the “sale to, exportation to, or importation into the United States of petroleum or petroleum products produced by the Chevron JVs,” meaning Chevron’s joint ventures in Venezuela.

The renewable license, initially valid for a period of six months and revocable at any time, prohibits any kind of taxes or royalty payments from Chevron to the Maduro regime. It also prohibits the payment of dividends of any kind to Venezuela’s state-oil company Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) or any entity in which PDVSA has a majority stake.

The license also bans Chevron from engaging “in any transaction or dealing in or related to goods or services of Iranian origin” as well as any transaction involving entities in Venezuela owned or controlled by Russia. In the case of Iran, the Islamic nation has provided continuous aid to the Maduro regime in the repairing of Venezuela’s rundown oil refineries after years of socialist management brought them to the brink of complete ruin Iran has begun to refine upwards of 100,000 barrels of its own oil per day in Venezuela’s El Palito refinery, located in Carabobo State.

The Biden Regime Persecutes, Jails, and Tortures Political Opponents. Lawyer: January 6 Clients Are Being Tortured. 'For the first time in U.S. history, the political party in power is hunting down and jailing members of the opposition party for political dissidence, and . . . torturing them in jail.' 

Alawyer for several of the January 6 political prisoners says his clients are being “tortured” by a system of “anarcho-tyranny” that considers them to be a “subhuman, sub-constitutional class of people.” In an interview this week, Joseph D. McBride said he is building a case to sue the federal government for millions of dollars over the abuses his clients have suffered.

The devout Catholic told the Blaze‘s Daniel Horowitz on his “Conservative Review” podcast Monday that he has witnessed the “deepest part of evil” while representing the political prisoners.

“They are gaslighting the entire American public,” McBride said. “They are calling these people extremists and terrorists, but the extremism and the terrorism lies with them!”

Majority of Americans Now See FBI as ‘Joe Biden’s Personal Gestapo’. A majority of 53 percent of Americans now see the FBI for what it really is: Joe Biden’s personal Gestapo.

This is according to the latest polling of Rasmussen Reports, which found only bad news for America’s fascist FBI:

Rasmussen Reports finds that 44% of Likely U.S. voters say the FBI raid on Trump’s Florida home made them trust the FBI less, compared to 29% who say it made them trust the bureau more. Twenty-three percent (23%) say the Trump raid did not make much difference in their trust of the FBI. …

Fifty percent (50%) of voters have a favorable impression of the FBI, including 26% who have a Very Favorable view of the bureau. Forty-six percent (46%) now view the FBI unfavorably, including 29% who have a Very Unfavorable impression of the bureau.

Roger Stone, an adviser to former President Donald Trump, has said there is “a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI who are using the FBI … as Joe Biden‘s personal Gestapo.” A majority (53%) of voters now agree with Stone’s statement – up from 46% in December – including 34% who Strongly Agree. Thirty-six percent (36%) disagree with the quote from Stone, including 26% who Strongly Disagree.

Does the federal government still work for Americans, or have citizens become nothing more than subjects expected to obey Washington’s bureaucratic regime?

Alan Moore, author and social critic, asserts in “V for Vendetta” that “People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.” When a young director in Karachi, Pakistan, adapted “Vendetta” for a live theatrical performance 10 years ago, he repeated the line during the play’s curtain call to raucous applause from the audience. Moore’s simple words reflect poignantly the human desire to be free from government tyranny.

Moore’s statement is widely embraced in the United States, where “the people” are constitutionally vested with power over government. It is doubtful, however, that today’s permanent bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., would concur. 

This philosophical divide between the American people and their government is an important one. Should the American people be afraid of the U.S. government? Of course not. Yet a new army of IRS agents that will be used to audit middle-class Americans and a partisan DOJ and FBI that routinely ignore leftist violence while throwing the book at MAGA voters strongly suggest otherwise.
