Rex Tillerson hadn't been CEO of ExxonMobil very long when the late president Hugo Chavez made foreign oil companies in Venezuela an offer they couldn't refuse. Give the government a bigger cut, or else.
Most of the companies took the deal. Tillerson refused.
Chavez responded in 2007 by nationalizing ExxonMobil's considerable assets in the country, which the company valued at $10 billion. The losses were a big blow to Tillerson, who reportedly took the seizure as a personal affront.
Only Tillerson didn't get mad, at least in public. He got even.
Flash forward to May 2015. Just five days after former military general David Granger was elected president of the South American nation of Guyana, unseating the country’s long-ruling leftist party, ExxonMobil made a big announcement.
In the deep blue waters 120 miles off Guyana’s coast, the company scored a major oil discovery: as much as 1.4 billion barrels of high-quality crude. Tillerson told company shareholders the well, Liza-1, was the largest oil find anywhere in the world that year.

LOOK AT WHY GRANGER IS BG PM SNOOPS. THE USA IS THE HAND DAT NEVER STOPS GIVING TO BG.
THE USA-HAND GIH ALLYUH KABAKA, THE REV JIM JONES, RAMOTAR AND HIS WIFE AT THE WHITE HOUSE WIT' SHE IN COUNTRY BOOKIE SHOES DAT MAKE VILLAGE, BELLE, MESERET AND THE WOMEN HERE CRINGE..
AND NOW GRANGER.
TRACE THIS ONE STRAIGHT BACK TO REX TILLERSON AND EXXON MOBIL SNOOPS..GRANGER AS PM.
NOW RAMOTAR KNOW WHO TO BLAME FOR BEING UNSEATED. HE CYAN PLOT HIS OWN REVENGE..BUT TILLERSON AINT EASY
Alyuh better pray to god dat Maduro and dem keep winnin' because as soon as deh get Radonski and dem back in power in Venezueala deh comin' fuh deh land.
I warn allyuh about dat. now we see the reason why deh comin'. deh are Tillerson's boys and he go send dem fuh allyuh. Tillerson using allyuh now but allyuh not as trustworthy as the rabid Latin right wing.
he doh care. Granger is nutten to he. Tillerson will betray Granger as easy as he spits on the floor
Radonski dem go wipe the forest floor wit' allyuh, enslave the rest and take BG..an' all the oil. jess watch. the Latin right wing are some of the most rabidly racist people in creation. deh are worse dam the Wahhabi when it comes to hate for the dark skin.
allyuh only hope is if Corbyn wins in England. he might be disposed to support BG as Thatcher was. but Thatcher's Tories were not this current bunch. dese Tories wont protect BG. deh wud suport Tillerson
also Corbyn is not likely to send the british military..much more likely to back allyuh up legally and through the UN. Corbyn is a diplomacy/negotiations to settle all issues man
an' allyuh cyan put Skoogley Googley on a white horse, in his religious uniform (which shud ideally be white ), in his Pope cap... with a holy book in his hand, which he will use as the shield to defend and protect Guyana, turning back the barbarian Venezuela right wing hordes at the gate.
Lauren Kerr, an ExxonMobil spokeswoman, confirmed that Tillerson and Granger have met, “though as a matter of practice we don’t comment on discussions with government officials,†she said.

Kerr said the claims by Venezuela’s Maduro that ExxonMobil financed Granger’s 2015 presidential campaign were baseless. ;D
