TANKER FROM VENEZUELA BOARDED BY U.S HELICOPTER OFF GRENADA

By AI ChatGPT5-.T.Chr.- Human Synthesis-11 December 2025

Again U.S. interference in drug probe on vessels from Venezuela in international waters. Weaponized military boarded ship from helicopter to search for drugs. See correct timed photo of Mt Skipper off the coast of Grenada heading Northwards. The destination recorded is Georgetown, Guiana and the course should have been Southwards past Trinidad. Hmm...

Latest position report of MT Skipper at 18:34 GMT - 11 December 2025

Likely Outcome 1:

Ship is diverted to a U.S.-controlled port (most common in past cases) This has happened before with Venezuelan and Iranian oil shipments.What usually happens:U.S. Navy/USCG escorts the tanker to a designated port. The vessel anchors under guard. The cargo is pumped ashore and sold, often via court-ordered auction. Proceeds go to the U.S. Treasury (or a sanctioned political group, like the Venezuelan opposition).

The ship itself is:either returned to the owner, orheld for forfeiture if the owner is tied to the sanctioned network.If they do this, the likely ports are:San Juan, Puerto RicoSt. Croix (USVI)Miami or Port EvergladesBeaumont or Houston (Texas) — used previously for seized crudeThis outcome matches your prediction and fits the current escort-like behavior you’re seeing on AIS.

Likely Outcome 2: Escort to a neutral inspection anchorageSometimes the U.S. only wants to confirm:flag legitimacyorigin of cargodocumentscrew identityAfter inspection:They may release the ship,or order it to divert to Guyana or Trinidad once cleared.This is possible if:The U.S. doesn’t want diplomatic escalation with Venezuela this weekOr if proof of sanctions violations is weak or incompleteRight now her unusual zig-zag course suggests she’s awaiting orders, not steaming directly to a port.

Possible Outcome 3 (less likely but happens): Cargo destruction or transfer at sea. In a few Iranian cases, the U.S. transferred the crude to another tanker at sea and scuttled the seized vessel or returned it empty. This happens when:The seized ship is in poor technical condition. The cargo is the priority, not the hull. They don’t want long legal battles in U.S. courts but Skipper appears to be in serviceable condition, so this is the least likely scenario.

Based on her AIS track today

Escorted Northbound past St. Lucia instead of toward GuyanaSteady controlled speed. Tight formation with another vessel. This strongly suggests a controlled diversion, not normal navigation. If she turns NW or W toward Puerto Rico, that confirms outcome 1. If she turns due N toward open Atlantic, she may be heading for a mid-ocean rendezvous (Outcome 3). If she slows near St. Croix / USVI, that’s textbook for a U.S. seizure landing.

Your guess ("escort to a U.S. port to drain cargo") is currently the most consistent scenario.

Wow.. Wow. – María Machado and the Nobel Peace Prize, or whatever it’s supposed to represent.

Here, too, we are apparently expected to pick a side: either you’re for or against. Right or left. Trump, Milei, or Spain.And what on earth actually happened to the Nobel Peace Prize? Nothing new. We might as well call it “Santa’s Annual Prize,” since the award more or less coincides with Santa’s birthday, or something along those lines.

María Machado works for the World Economic Forum. She is literally Venezuela’s representative at the Davos summit every year, and also participates in a number of regular global elite gatherings – the kind of organizations one would usually avoid. Of course she was selected. Her comings and goings from Venezuela are far less dramatic than what is portrayed.It’s far more difficult for a family with children to get out of Norway after a conflict with the municipality, did you know that?

There is significant poverty in Venezuela, a country that is simultaneously an oil nation. Naturally, things could have looked different – like in Qatar or Saudi Arabia. But neither of those countries are democracies we normally like to compare ourselves with, even though they don’t receive the same criticism. You know why: we trade with them, and we recognize them well enough from the corridors.

Børge Brende has met them often in Davos. Machado is presented as a temporary evil on the way to something better. In that case, Maduro stands as a living example of what happens when the left is allowed to govern without counterbalance from the right. Or, to put it another way: Amrit Pernille Kaur and Sofia Rana’s dream society in practice – yet another failed, collapsed communist project.

Something is rotten in Denmark, but this competition is clearly a marathon without historical parallel, and no one knows where the EU will be in ten years, squeezed behind Alibaba’s 44 thieves (the oligarchs) and their thousand Orwell-inspired laws.

Maybe it will become “boots on the ground” for minerals in Ukraine, who knows. Maybe a tripling of the number of people arrested for comments online. Maybe you’ll have to be 16 years old to participate in public debate, and log in with BankID to express yourself. Maybe vacation travel will be limited depending on the steak you ate last weekend.

And how many times do you really have to pay tax on the sugar and meat you bought at Rema or Lidl? Only the gods know.Sure – some will obviously blame Western sanctions. But there are several countries that circumvent sanctions in a way that at least ensures children receive schooling and a bed instead of a life in brothels and drug trafficking along the streets.

And what about the CIA and Pentagon’s decades-long financing of cartels and shady industries, as every Hollywood version of reality reminds us? Johnny Depp, Snowfall on HBO – the variations are endless. Most people have a vague memory of the articles from the 80s and 90s about the CIA and Pentagon that ended in internal conflicts, where each side supported different cartels, with codenames taken from some spy’s mishap in an office building in the US.The African American population in cities like Chicago and Baltimore still has vivid memories of how South American drugs flooded in thanks to “Cobra,” ahem – the CIA.

The story of “narco-boats” starts to crack when they’re stopped 2,000 kilometers from the US coast. Especially when one knows that the American drug epidemic doesn’t start in the jungles of South America, but in laboratories in Utah or Minnesota, where the real addiction is established.

The substances on the street eventually become just a supplement for those who can no longer afford to maintain the life of a soccer mom with extreme ADHD and Adderall, or the perpetually absent father on business trips with OxyContin in his luggage. Let’s not pretend otherwise. It’s stupid and disrespectful.

There are, however, real cases: In July 2024, a “go fast” fishing boat was stopped off Puerto Rico with a 4,500-liter fuel tank and 1,200 kilos of cocaine, en route from Venezuela. The year before, a similar boat with a 15,000-liter tank and 900 kilos of cocaine. Seizures from Venezuela today make up about 5–10 percent of smuggling. Compared to the tons of OxyContin and Adderall sold legally, however, it’s insignificant.

At the same time, I understand the priorities. These countries are like the Wild West for players like Warren Buffett, Alexander Soros, and those who meet behind.

Enough said, but THINK !!
