The AD, together with the insipid COPEI members and the complicit silence of the other elites who sucked from the motherland's teat, once tried to create a country glued together with parrot saliva and chewing gum. The result: a vulgar spectacle where the peasant and fishermen's circle, by force, turned it into a stage and microphone. The foreignizing left tried it too, and we ended up learning to play more charango and bass drum than cuatro and bandola. Since then, we have been stumbling between shrill vallenato, tearful passage, vulgar merengue, erotic salsa, reggaeton, champeta and other musical degenerations provided to us by the singing industry, who earn immense income from the pain of the poor that we are.
Today we exist in the midst of a wonderful process in which we are alive and with the capacity to think of a territory in which to put down strong roots, to found a healthy and original culture, where art is not a simple spectacle for the gloating of ignorant owners and a key to comfort for slaves who live off of art, but rather enjoyed by people in a circle, in communion, after work, shoes, a house, clothing and safe food for all.
The president told us:
"We need to see each other frequently to continue refining our common dreams, our common plans and to continue building with our own hands, with our own effort, with our own intelligence, our common home, our Great Homeland, our beloved Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, together, working, sowing, harvesting. It is a very nice idea."
This proposal is indisputable, marvelous and dazzling. How many conversions are required, how many experiments, how many people participating. And each one of these actions generates its own contradictions, which in the productive-political dialectic will have to disappear, to give way to what has to be created originally: all rowing in the same direction; to stop being the mine that we are and build the great country that those slaves and masters dreamed of in contradiction when they proposed to separate from Europe.
It has not materialized even today, because the internal elites joined or remained affiliated with the foreign bandwagon and we slaves never had the possibility of thinking on our own, but rather we followed ideas based on chimeras of salvation, happiness, well-being, development, improvement; hopes in remote ideas of rights, freedom, equality, fraternity, whose essence we did not understand, their substance, always adhering to the form, without understanding the content; utopias of wonderful worlds, where we would all be brothers, as long as the wealth was distributed to each one according to his need and his capacity. And meanwhile, here we are five hundred years later, trying to solve the mystery no longer of man in freedom (a fact accomplished in the owners), but of the slaves separating ourselves from the imperial capitalist system.
It is then necessary to resolve, to decipher the mystery that generates the contradiction: slave people with the illusion of being masters, in a mine-territory. We must free ourselves from productive ideological chains, from slave-master knowledge, separating ourselves from the current mode of production, in order to stop being slaves and accept ourselves in contradiction, to dedicate ourselves to clearing up the enigma of abandoning the mine and building ourselves as a country in the territory where we are enslaved. This involves another language where slave-master is not what is named, but the contradiction and its results.
We are not Chinese, Arabs, Yanomami, Guaraos, Slavs, Persians, Iberians, Saxons, Franks and so on, but those in power had the brilliant idea of turning us all into humans, into a single thought, a single religion, a single mode of production. We are humans, a superior being that is above nature and whose purpose is to subdue it, control it, make it its own, in the name of whatever it wants. And we are talking about the other animals, trees, fish, water, wind, fire, earth, everything, absolutely everything. And that everything implies the species itself: Chinese, Arabs, Yanomami, Guaraos, Slavs, Persians, Iberians, Saxons, Franks and every other creature that inhabits this world, because we humans are not all, no, humans are only the Anglo-Saxons with a lot of money and power, but a lot of power, to the point of imposing their concepts, thoughts, visions on the world.
Humans who consider the rest of the species as their slaves, and therefore not worthy of being considered human. These gentlemen, and we are not referring to whites in general, speak of powerful people with the idea of superiority. They, for example, consider the Russians to be the blacks of the snow, but even more, their belief is so powerful that they believe that the immeasurable is as they believe it to be, and that is why they assign it an age, a beginning and an end. And in more than 2 thousand years they have not tired of counting stars and other forms of life, because these gentlemen believe that nothing can be above them, that everything must be controlled, measured, packaged and sold as if it were theirs.
And when we talk about these gentlemen, we are not referring to any "dyed hair," we are referring to the Anglo-Saxon whites, the powerful owners of all the wealth on the planet. Of course there are blacks, Indians, whites, with some "churupos" in their pockets, who believe the story that they are also part of that class of people; if not, ask Mr. Obama why he did not marry a white woman. And there will be no lack of idiots who will answer: "The thing is that blacks are more racist than whites." No, Mr. idiot, it is because no powerful gentleman would marry his daughter to a black, Indian or poor person; that only happens in movies and in the mines, where any squalid "blowpipe," thinks he is a millionaire and has the right to be invited to Trump's inauguration.
In this time, when the cracks in the wall that hides natural physical reality have opened, supplanted by ideological reality, we must think from it, with it, in order to replace it with another. This means giving original meaning to the future of what it means to work, build, sow, harvest common dreams, common plans, defining what they are, what they mean, seeing each other frequently, who, where, for what. Each one of these questions needs implementations, mechanisms that make the necessary answers possible, not ideological answers, reports from bureaucrats stamping papers, but real ones, those that solve, but also knowing who carries them out.
Definitions of who, where, what: what are the common dreams, beyond the construction of the Great Homeland? Conventions that the bourgeoisie have already built in their own image and likeness based on their interests, because once and for all we must define whether the interests of the slaves are the same as those of the owners, but beyond that: if the interests of the slaves that we are are the same as those of the slaves in thinking contradiction, what is the future that we slaves propose? Is it the same as that of the bourgeoisie, the great power that invades countries and steals their resources to produce wealth and then sell it to maintain the ruin in the mines?
To get to where we are, as our president says, "we have defeated hatred, intolerance, we have defeated the coup, we have defeated fascism."
"Crazy ideas and crazy plans could not lead us into the chaos of violence. We overcame all the threats, all the psychological warfare, all the lies."
Circumstantially, this is true, undeniable, but if we do not replace current thinking, current culture, believing that we can coexist with capitalism, it is a chimera that sooner or later will become a nightmare again, and we will once again long for the appearance of the Commander to come and save us because we were not able to think and build, with the future that he left us, what belongs to us all.
" The drums of change are beating in the world"
To this end, the President proposes:
"A consultation for a youth project, a cultural project, to make a major reform of the Constitution, containing three elements: constituent consultation committees for the expansion of democracy and the construction of the new State, to clearly define the profile of the society we want from the cultural point of view, from the institutional point of view, to lay the clearest foundations because it is not like that in the Constitution. To lay the powerful, clear and luminous foundations of the new self-sustaining economy, non-dependent, diversified and producer of wealth that satisfies the needs of the people of Venezuela. To unite all the creative capacity of the country to have a leading, cultured, educated people, prioritizing self-construction and popular architecture, so that the new aesthetics and the new architecture of the people emerge, friendly, pleasant."
The fundamental problem with this proposal by the president is understanding that we need to think, to create original ideas that lead us to build, experiment and make customary a new mode of production where we are neither slaves nor owners, but rather people working and living for the people.
Of course, the wise men who are sycophants about anything, produced in ancient times and in the present, will tell us: What can be invented that has not already been invented? History has come to an end. What we need to do is to join the bandwagon of history with our own criteria, to leave behind the laziness typical of Latin Caribbeans, blacks and Indians, and to get to work seriously and become a great productive power, to compete head to head with the great world powers.
Because, who has written such nonsense that we can be productively independent, that we can be another culture other than the superior and distinguished Anglo-Saxon Western human culture? Let's see, tell me, who wrote so much nonsense together, when it is simply a matter of producing, distributing wealth equitably, according to capacity and need, and administering capitalism without corruption, because everything has already been said?
For it is known, in the profound readings of the wise men of Greece, Rome, the East and the West, who believed in water, in the cosmos, in the indefinite, in air, in numbers, the Eleatic, the order and mutability of the universe, in moralism, Being, the eclectic, pluralism, paradoxes, sophism, solipsism, relativism, the ethics of virtues, epistemology, dialectics, atomism, determinism, atheism, cynicism, hedonism, the ontological, the methodological, the peripatetic, skepticism, materialism, Epicureanism, Stoicism, Pyrrhonism, the allegorical, self-determination, metaphysics, holistic, theurgy, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, mysticism, empiricism, Averroism, nominalism, humanism, renaissance, realism, utopia, naturalism, heliocentrism, liberalism, cartesianism, mechanism, dualism, rationalism, occasionalism, utilitarianism, idealism, synthetism, conservatism, deism, anarchism, evolutionism, socialism, hermeneutics, pessimism, positivism, transcendentalism, abolitionism, existentialism, pacifism, historical and dialectical materialism, social darwinism, phenomenology, pragmatism, semiotics, structuralism, instrumentalism, panpsychism, interactionism, intuitivism, deontology, structuralism, falsificationism, objectivism, individualism, emotivism, absurdism, skepticism, liquid modernism, post-structuralism, Postmodernism, with its social networks, trips to Mars and the latest woke culture with all its desideratum, do you intend to discard or question it because it is necessary to establish a culture without slaves or masters? And is communism, scientific socialism, of no use to you, or have you all gone mad, fucking slaves?
It is undeniable how overwhelming this wisdom accumulated over centuries of power is. One cannot deny the great service it has rendered to power for centuries, one cannot surpass its capacity to advance and develop all the science and warrior technology with which the elites stay in power, but the problem is that we slaves, after thousands of years of beautiful philosophy, continue to be the first subjugated on this planet, we continue to have masters, and this wisdom does not help us to overcome the position of shitty slaves.
But yes, rest assured, it is true that we are thinking of methods and ideas so that the millions of slaves that we are can use our brains without any conditioning and think of another culture, where millions of bodies and brains converge with millions of ideas that contribute to founding a culture where all, absolutely all, have a place as people and not as a guild, privilege, power, race, color, gender, title.
And that is not being crazy, because we have been kept insane since we are born, in the family, school, factory, high school, university and other institutions that the owners use to keep us insane. Added to this is the Internet and the media, which together the owners currently use to make us believe that living like slaves, watching them enjoy their pleasures excessively, is the only way to live, while we work to maintain that order, which for the owners is a wonder.
Never again exploitation and its consequences is what President Maduro proposes to us in broad terms, it was what the Commander always proposed to us to discuss, and it is the order of the day. Blaming others for not trying to carry out the great task proposed is the behavior of a slave who does not think. We need to become thinking slaves in order to resolve the great mystery that has had to be resolved for more than five hundred years: people living in a collective and not against people.

Eight key points about Trump's move with General License 41
28 Feb 2025 , 10:34 am .

US President Donald Trump announced that he will revoke — without saying so directly — General License 41, which since November 2022 has allowed the operations and activities of the Chevron company on Venezuelan soil.
Through his account on the social network Truth Social, the president wrote: "We hereby reverse the concessions that the corrupt Joe Biden gave to Nicolás Maduro, of Venezuela, on the oil transaction agreement, dated November 26, 2022, and which also has to do with the electoral conditions within Venezuela, which have not been met by the Maduro regime."
The tycoon's decision appears to mark the beginning of a new phase in the complex relationship between Washington and Caracas.
1. Implementation
According to the Republican's post, this leave will end on March 1st.
At the time of writing this note — February 27 — the U.S. government, specifically the Treasury Department, has not disclosed the measure in detail, but it is expected that the North American company will be given a period of time to cease its operations.
According to Bloomberg, this could happen within a period of three to four months, while other analysts such as Francisco Rodríguez refer to the content of the license and indicate that Chevron's withdrawal period will be six months.
Pending the formalization of the decision, there are no indications that this decision will affect, for now, the operations of other international oil companies that have active licenses.
2. Orchestration
The announcement about the license in question was released almost simultaneously with a post by Donald Trump Jr., the tycoon's son, in which he urged people to watch his podcast with María Corina Machado as a guest.
There is a very explicit factor of timing and positioning of the speech. The host described Machado as "an indisputable opposition leader" and celebrated the revocation of the licenses that "finance the illegitimate and corrupt Maduro regime," he said.
On the podcast , Machado flashed a noticeable celebratory smile. "This was the right thing to do, at the right time," she said.
The move "sends a clear message that Maduro is in deep trouble and that President Trump is with the Venezuelan people," he added. "I send my gratitude."
3. Responses from the Venezuelan government
The first reaction came from the executive vice president and Minister of Hydrocarbons, Delcy Rodríguez, who described this decision as "harmful and inexplicable."
"By attempting to harm the Venezuelan people, they are actually inflicting harm on the United States, its population and its companies, and also calling into question the legal security of their country in its international investment regime," said Rodriguez.
Regarding the self-inflicted damage by the United States, in connection with the statement by the senior official, this column published a rigorous analysis based on graphs that explain the energy costs linked to the measure.
"We categorically reject this type of action publicly requested by the country's extremist and failed opposition," said the Vice President, adding that such failed behavior drove migration from 2017 to 2021, with widely known consequences.
"Venezuela will continue its path of comprehensive economic recovery through the creative efforts of all and in absolute adherence to its sovereignty and national independence," he stressed.
For his part, President Nicolás Maduro stressed: "If the Americans ever wanted a respectful dialogue between equals, we would do it. We have done it and we will do it without problems."
He stressed that , regardless of the position adopted by the White House regarding his administration, Venezuela will continue to advance on its own path, based on the independence, sovereignty and development of the country.
"If the gringos want to continue their path of betting on fascism, on violence in Venezuela, of betting on sanctions, that's their problem," said the Head of State. "To the wise, clear words. I don't play with hidden cards, I play with cards on the table and, for that reason, we always win: because we play with the truth," he concluded.
4. Possible reasons for Trump
The important thing at this point is to investigate - at the risk of a considerable margin of error due to the unpredictability of the president - the nature and purpose of this new attack.
As for the US leader's reasons, the first of them is the old aggressive pattern of Washington's policy towards Venezuela. This must be considered as structural, bipartisan and state policy. It offers a logical framework to understand all the actions from the White House, regardless of the government that is there.
Secondly, there is the hypothesis of pressure from Republican politicians in the state of Florida. This suggests that the action could be part of significant concessions by Trump to this sector, considering that his government still needs support in parliament to develop its policies – some of which are very controversial.
Florida, however, is the US capital of the MAGA bloc, a state with special influence characteristics in the second term of the president, and the points of convergence between MAGA politicians and hardline Republicans (hawks) are considerable in the sunny southern state.
The critical point in American politics right now is the congressional debate on the budget and debt ceiling, which could lead to a government shutdown in the coming weeks. This is an endemic problem and, one might say, an interannual one, since it occurs almost every year with a bitter diatribe between the Oval Office and Congress.
This standoff has Republican representatives at odds with Trump's budget policy, weakening his parliamentary support. Republican representatives joined Democrats in rejecting the Executive's budget plan.
In addition, Florida Republican politicians are likely negotiating, asking for blood — Venezuelan — via sanctions, in exchange for budget support and to satisfy the Cuban and Venezuelan communities in Florida, considering that the president recently eliminated TPS for Venezuelans, a decision that generated political friction.
5. Maximum pressure 2.0?
The visit to Venezuela by Trump's special envoy, Richard Grenell, had outlined the conditions for projecting an apparent détente and a "different relationship" —Grenell dixit— between the White House and the Venezuelan government. The diplomat had emphasized that the tycoon was not seeking a change of regime in Venezuela.
However, given the importance of License 41 for Venezuela's oil activities, its elimination is, across the board, an act of pressure.
It can be seen that the statement accompanying the announcement is stripped of any hint of recognition of Edmundo González. Nor is there any mention of a change of regime in Venezuela. Trump's tone is one of punishment, but prioritizing the narrative blow against the "corrupt" Joe Biden.
At this point it is necessary to analyse this movement from a global perspective.
The record of the new administration's actions suggests a pattern of frontal harassment using the maximum of US coercive capacity.
The president has put pressure on countries subject to illegal sanctions, while threatening nations allied with the United States with tariffs and intimidating statements. In basically every case, Washington is using its tactical advantages to get something in return.
However, he has not yet stated anything concrete about what he is seeking in Venezuela, beyond the already evident acceleration of the repatriation of its migrants.
The case of Venezuela breaks the pattern. It would be the only country where the White House is currently considering regime change – without admitting it – or it would be the only country where, so far, they are applying pressure measures without openly stating any additional demands in return.
6. Is it still possible to negotiate?
Now, with the expiration of General License 41, the Trump administration has increased its "negotiating" advantage over Caracas, bringing relations to a spectrum of greater tension.
It is therefore possible that real negotiations between the two governments will take place from now on with the multinational and other heavy crude oil refining companies in the United States as parties involved, or with pressure from behind the scenes. This remains to be seen.
Given the apparent time frame for the dismantling of Chevron's operations in Venezuela, hypotheses have emerged about a probable time frame for negotiations and their possible outcomes.
According to Reuters, the situation could lead to an alternative license in the future that would allow the US oil company to operate in the country, but with a view to sending crude oil to other destinations.
It is also possible that another type of authorization will emerge with more restrictive and unfavorable conditions for Venezuela compared to those existing in 41.
In the meantime, as these scenarios are uncertain, Venezuela could choose to maneuver the situation as it was doing before November 2022, by carrying out its oil activities with other States, in an evasive manner within the framework of illegal sanctions.
This could include handing over Chevron's activities to other companies from BRICS countries, as President Maduro once suggested.
That element, together with the migration issue, would be some of Caracas' best cards to deal with possible negotiation scenarios. Everything remains to be seen.
7. The situation of the extremist opposition
In recent years, an important consensus has emerged in Venezuela around the rejection of illegal sanctions. This has been a point of agreement between the Venezuelan government, national and foreign businessmen with relations or activities in the country, political leaders of some opposition parties and sectors of the so-called civil society .
Trump's measure now brings together these sectors and repositions the issue of sanctions in public opinion, which generates diatribe but imposes a clearly majority rejection of these measures.
By default, the new framework further isolates the sectors that have promoted coercive measures, and this directly alludes to María Corina Machado and Edmundo González Urrutia, whose possibilities of internal support are weakened and their bases of multi-sectoral support are broken.
Although Machado has said she is building "internal military support" for regime change, this, paradoxically, distances her even further from that possibility by inducing the strengthening of the government and military sector in response to the re-emergence of direct external threats.
8. The international question, beyond the United States
The end of License 41 implies, so far, the progressive cessation of Chevron's activities.
There is still no clarity on the fate of other licenses granted to companies from Spain, Trinidad and Tobago and India, among others, that carry out activities in the Venezuelan hydrocarbon sector.
Venezuela's allies in the BRICS will probably take this context as an opportunity to continue developing their energy ties with the country, which has been alluded to by Chevron CEO Mike Wirth himself, who indicated that the sanctions have generated a separation between Venezuela and the West, while they have favored the access of Iran, Russia and China to their crude oil.
State-owned PDVSA and other operators in the country would have to face the coercive framework again, but with accumulated experience in adapting to sanctions.
Currently, some 700,000 barrels a day leave Venezuela for markets other than the United States, and a good part of this crude is marketed using creative measures to evade the blockade, a situation that has been sustained during the time that General License 41 has existed.

Erik Prince, the commodification of migration and “Almost Venezuela”
28 Feb 2025 , 12:16 pm .

Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater and a leading proponent of privatizing security, now wants to extend his business model to immigration control.
According to the US portal POLITICO , Prince has presented a plan for mass deportations that includes methods and structures of private security to expel migrants from the United States. This initiative, aligned with anti-immigrant policies, highlights the danger of outsourcing state affairs and raises serious concerns about the militarization of the border and the growing role of the private sector in decisions that should be the exclusive responsibility of the government.
What does it consist of?
The militarization and commodification of migration has taken a new turn with this businessman's proposal. The project, outlined in a 26-page document, envisions a network of "processing camps" within military bases, with the argument of avoiding the collapse of the current facilities of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE).
The plan includes a fleet of 100 private jets and a contingent of citizens authorized to carry out arrests with the goal of deporting 12 million people before the 2026 midterm elections. To accomplish this, nearly 500,000 migrants would need to be expelled each month, at an estimated cost of $25 billion.
The plan argues that the federal government lacks the capacity to carry out large-scale removals and proposes outsourcing the process to private companies. Among its measures is the formation of a "Deportation Tracking Team" tasked with locating individuals through existing records. It also calls for hiring 2,000 attorneys and paralegals to expedite deportation hearings and assess individuals' eligibility.
Additionally, a public database is proposed in place of the traditional "Notice to Appear" — a legal document that notifies you that the U.S. government has initiated deportation proceedings — which could violate due process.
They also propose a "rewards program" that would offer cash payments to citizens who help capture undocumented migrants, an approach that would encourage local and state agents to participate in these tasks . Such an approach, however, raises concerns about possible abuses and lack of oversight in such a sensitive process.
Overall, the initiative seeks to accelerate these migration measures through an aggressive approach and the intervention of the private sector, which raises serious legal, ethical and social questions.
A logistics "solution" or a controversial business
In an interview with NewsNation on February 25, Erik Prince defended his mass deportation proposal, saying that he is not seeking to create a "private army" but rather to provide a logistical strategy for moving the millions of people he is seeking to expel.
He also downplayed his history with Blackwater, saying the company "no longer exists" and is now selling munitions. However, this attempt to distance himself from his past ignores his involvement in scandals such as the Nisour Square Massacre in Iraq, where Blackwater mercenaries killed 17 civilians.
Asked about the feasibility of deporting 12 million people by November 2026, Prince replied: "If you mobilize the entire United States military and use all the planes in the Air Force, maybe it's possible." He insisted that his plan is legal and ethical, although he avoided explaining how due process would be guaranteed in deportations of such magnitude.
His argument focused on operational organisation: "This all comes down to the question of logistics, how do you fly so many people? Think about how we've been invaded," he said.
Prince portrayed migration as an impending crisis and an uncontrolled invasion, using an alarmist tone to justify his initiative. He claimed that "millions of people have entered illegally, paying cartels to cross the border," a reality that, according to him, demands drastic and immediate measures.
By presenting the situation as critical , Prince seeks to legitimize his plan as an urgent and indispensable "solution."
This approach is no accident: by emphasizing terms like “invasion” and “ emergency,” Prince constructs a scenario of extreme urgency that makes it easier to get his proposal approved. The platform is designed to be implemented without a competitive bidding process, which would allow the White House to trigger a national emergency declaration.
Under this framework, the government could bypass the usual bureaucratic procedures, speed up implementation and give a central role to private companies like Prince's .
In this way, the discourse of the migration crisis not only justifies extreme measures but also lays the groundwork for rapid and unsupervised implementation, taking advantage of the emergency climate in order to guarantee the viability of the project.
In the final minutes of the short interview, however, he also defended the intervention of private companies and said that his proposal would allow for action in a "faster, more efficient and more economical" manner. However, this pragmatic vision ignores the legal risks of delegating a process as sensitive as mass deportation to private contractors .
The journalist also questioned the use of private planes. He pointed out that the memo mentions only 49 aircraft available. Prince responded that the challenge lies in "scaling up the operation" after claiming that the Biden administration facilitated the "immigration invasion," which his proposal seeks to reverse.
One of the most controversial points is the "reward program" for citizens who help identify and detain migrants. When warned about the backlash that this measure could generate, Prince evaded the question and simply said: "We are a nation of laws." He did not explain how abuses or human rights violations resulting from encouraging civilians to participate in capture operations would be avoided.
Finally, when asked about the government's interest in his proposal, he admitted that he had not received a response. "It is a bureaucratic process," he said, suggesting that the authorities would probably try to exhaust their own resources first before turning to the private sector.
However, he noted that deportations have been handled by contractors in the past, suggesting his plan is not an entirely new idea.
Prince presents his project as a pragmatic solution, but its vagueness and Blackwater's controversial history are generating skepticism. It is not about solving "a problem" - it is simply business disguised as immigration policy.
the "Almost Venezuela" connection
Prince's plan is not limited to the United States, its implications transcend borders and could directly affect the countries receiving deportees. However, what is most striking is the temporal coincidence between this proposal that has been floating around the halls of the White House since December 2024 and his previous initiative, "Almost Venezuela" , launched in September 2024, which was pointed out as a scam and an opaque plan for illegal fundraising.
At that time, Prince used the X platform to promote a fundraiser to finance a mercenary military operation against the country. Although the initiative did not achieve the expected support, it did generate significant media support among extremist sectors, and from then on Prince positioned himself as a key player in the intervention agenda against Venezuela.
Now, with his proposal for mass deportations, he is taking advantage of that same political and media momentum. This reflects a key political contradiction: on the one hand, he is promoting an interventionist agenda under the pretext of the “liberation” of Venezuela while, on the other, he is proposing aggressive measures against migrants, including Venezuelans. This incoherence exposes his opportunism, characteristic of someone who has built his career on questionable proposals and privatized operations.
His troubled career as a businessman in the mercenary industry and his history of initiatives clearly mediated by corruption and illegality, such as "Almost Venezuela", indicate that this platform for mass deportations could be another maneuver in his repertoire of controversial projects, closer to fraud than to a plan that serves Trump.
Taking advantage of the political agenda
The implementation of this mechanism raises both serious legal questions and the possibility of violating fundamental principles of due process.
The creation of a group of contractors with the power to make arrests amounts to delegating state functions to private actors, which would conflict with state and federal laws.
Furthermore, the proposal to hold mass deportation hearings without adequate procedural guarantees opens the door to lawsuits and judicial blockades.
Beyond its legal viability, Prince's formula fits into a well-known pattern: the conversion of security and immigration control into a lucrative business for private companies.
Blackwater and other security companies have obtained multimillion-dollar contracts for military and surveillance operations, and the privatization of deportations would be an extension of that model, along the same lines as the proliferation of private prisons and the outsourcing of border tasks.
This scheme clearly does not address migration as a humanitarian issue – which it has never been – but rather as a business opportunity.
However, the forced repatriation of millions of people in a short period of time not only ignores the structural causes of migration – many of them derived from coercive policies implemented by Washington – but also shows an approximation to the lack of independent supervision and opens the door to possible abuses and arbitrariness in the process.
The truth is that Prince's proposal is part of a logic of outsourcing state functions and militarizing processes that should be part of the government framework.
In short, Prince takes advantage of what is considered a "crisis" to lobby for his initiatives and ventures, always under the pretext of solving problems that, to a large extent, have been exacerbated by the very policies he defends.
