🇺🇸🇻🇪⚡- "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us. The illegitimate Maduro Regime is using Oil from these stolen Oil Fields to finance themselves, Drug Terrorism, Human Trafficking, Murder, and Kidnapping. For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela. The Illegal Aliens and Criminals that the Maduro Regime has sent into the United States during the weak and inept Biden Administration, are being returned to Venezuela at a rapid pace. America will not allow Criminals, Terrorists, or other Countries, to rob, threaten, or harm our Nation and, likewise, will not allow a Hostile Regime to take our Oil, Land, or any other Assets, all of which must be returned to the United States, IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" - President Donald Trump

🇺🇸⚡️- Brown University has released a statement addressing rumors that one of its students may be the shooter. The university clarified that the individual being doxed has no relevance to the investigation, and that if they did, law enforcement would be actively investigating them and providing information to the public.

🇺🇸🇻🇪⚡- WTI crude oil futures rose by 1.5% to around $56 per barrel after President Trump's decision to impose a "total and complete blockade" on oil tankers to and from Venezuela.

To all of those accusing us of perpetuating or support the doxxing of this student, we repeatedly stated that 1) the individual COULD NOT be verified as the shooter, and 2) to not stalk or dox said individual.

Our reporting covered legitimate, substantiated evidence and correlations that were worthy of coverage. Brown University, as we wanted them to do, dismissed the potential conclusions of those pieces of evidence by refuting all possibility that the said student was the shooter.

Not once have we accused the student of being the shooter, and we explicitly stated to NOT attack, dox, or stalk the student.

Based on the statement released by Brown University, we can conclude that the screenshot of a "Mustapha K." purchasing a 9mm muzzle brake on Wing Tactical was likely an absurd series of coincidences leading back to a Brown University student who is NOT responsible for the December 13th shooting at the University.
