Those Special Missions
Trump made this appointment:
I am pleased to announce Richard Allen Grenell as our Presidential Envoy for Special Missions. Ric will work in some of the hottest spots around the World, including Venezuela and North Korea.
In my First Term, Ric was the United States Ambassador to Germany, Acting Director of National Intelligence, and Presidential Envoy for Kosovo-Serbia Negotiations. Previously, he spent eight years inside the United Nations Security Council, working with North Korea, and developments in numerous other Countries.
Ric has a B.A. from Evangel College and a M.P.A from Harvard. Ric will continue to fight for Peace through Strength, and always put AMERICA FIRST.
Congratulations Ric!
First Rick Grennel was hated even in lapdog Germany. Even in Germany he was made to give up his US Ambassadorship because he was nasty to the extent that even the obeyant Germans could not stomach.
“Richard Grenell is acting like “a high commissioner of an occupying power,” the deputy leader of the Free Democrats (FDP) has said. Grenell has also drawn rebuffs from Germany’s two governing parties.”
German politicians are calling for U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell to be recalled, following a controversial interview in which the diplomat claims he is seeking to boost anti-establishment parties across Europe.
“What this man is doing is unprecedented in international diplomacy,” former Social Democrat leader Martin Schulz told German daily Tagesschau on Tuesday.
“If a German ambassador in Washington said, ‘I’m here to strengthen the Democratic Party,’ he would be thrown out immediately,” he added.
He left his post after two years, as nobody in Germany wanted him. So, that is that, about the man. Btw, the quotes are mainstream media quotes.
Trump says: “Ric will work in some of the hottest spots around the World, including Venezuela and North Korea. ”
Why mention those two? North Korea is quite fine, they work hard, are adamant that they will protect their society and have just signed a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Russia.
Venezuela has these new oil fields, part of Essequibo fields and the empirical oil companies are on the prowl to take Venezuela’s goods, that could help that country to help themselves. After many years of sanctions they are standing on their feet.
So can you imagine throwing a snarling dog like Richard Grenell amid those two countries, that are not warmongers. We also had under the table information that the fact that Brazil did not agree to Venezuela joining BRICS as a partner state, was US instigated and Brazil had to tumble.
The empire is growing right at the moment: https://sovereignista.com/2024/12/15/lebensraum-for-israel/We do not have much time to mourn Syria. We have to get into a mind space of growing our part of the world.
Pepe Escobar is using this weekend to mourn and find solace, and to put up selected photos out of his files, of old Syria. Take a look at his Telegram Channel, starting here: https://t.me/rocknrollgeopolitics/13820
Finding solace with the Buddha + books. At the Guimet in Paris.
I am using this weekend to put the bones together of a writing where we can see the empirical moves, but more than that. How will we respond? That is the open question for today. There will be no peace in the world until US culture sheds its predatory capitalist ethos.
Update: Venezuela is under stress again:

Richard Grenell is another American imperial proconsul. Grenell’s role–past and present–is to oversee America’s far-flung colonies–or to turn sovereign nations into American colonies. That is what Donald Trump means when he spouts propaganda like “Peace Through Strength” or “America First”: Those are his weasel word phrases for American Rome and its… Read more »
