Almost 1000 accounted for as dead but could rise to 50,000! Another routine earthquake? Maybe not. Saw a podcast from some site called world academic podcast. It claims it is because of USA drilling in Venezuela, and particularly Trump's drill baby drill measures in the country that has caused seismic shifts. They say no way should a second tremor be bigger than the first.
THE EMPIRE'S LABORATORY: US OIL EXTRACTION TRIGGERED VENEZUELA'S DEADLY 7.5 QUAKE
On June 24, 2026, two powerful earthquakes of magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5 struck Venezuela just 39 seconds apart. The US Geological Survey (USGS) recorded the epicenter in Yaracuy state at a depth of 20.3 km—a shallow depth consistent with hydrocarbon extraction-induced seismicity. This was not an act of nature. It was the price of Donald Trump's oil greed.
Trump's "drill, baby, drill" policy is not an energy strategy—it is a tectonic weapon. Venezuela holds the world's largest oil reserves, and Washington has been drilling relentlessly to extract the planet's most polluting crude. Fluid injection and massive extraction destabilize geological faults, a phenomenon documented in oil fields worldwide. The 20 km and 10 km depths recorded by the USGS are consistent with induced activity.
The empire has turned Venezuela into its laboratory. First Iraq, with droughts induced by military radars. Then Iran, which broke the spell by destroying those systems and saw the rains return. Now Venezuela, whose subsoil is being perforated without rest to plunder its resources. The earthquake that left at least 32 dead and over 700 injured is not a natural disaster—it is a geological crime.
Analysis by Chem. Eng. Moisés R. Hernández, Director of MRH Análisis and World Academic Podcast. As a chemical engineer, I know that extracting heavy crude like Venezuela's Orinoco Belt requires massive water and steam injection to reduce viscosity. This injection, combined with fluid extraction, alters subsurface pressures and can induce seismicity. What Trump called "drill, baby, drill" is actually a geological experiment that Venezuela is paying for with its blood. This is not theory—it is thermodynamics applied to imperial plunder.
