Writing the technological history of how America really got to space, while trying to keep my sanity in this fascist takeover of what used to be called the United States of America. Officially a Twitter refugee.

Just like when one mob boss whacks another mob boss and then takes over his territory.
We are now Russia, and Trump is Putin.
Except Putin can stay awake and doesn’t wear a diaper.

Hitler invaded Poland, and then it began
He used the stolen wealth to fund his march across Europe
Each country he invaded funded his next invasion

If they aren't stopped, it will be the end of the West as we know it

🧵Read about the Monroe Doctrine.
It outlines the Americas as the US's sphere of influence.
Trump's new national security plan calls for building up an increased military presence in the Western Hemisphere, asserting American dominance.

"We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators."
Just like Dick Cheney said about Iraq, and look how quickly and easily that went.
Any Venezuelans celebrating right now should ask Libyans how long their celebrations lasted or how great, prosperous, and liberated they feel right now.

Where else have I heard the name Paul Singer lately, something to do with a list...
On November 25, 2025 Judge Stark approved the acquisition of Citgo parent PDV Holding, by Amber Energy for $5.9 billion.
Amber is part of Elliott Investment Management, a firm founded by hedge-fund billionaire Paul Singer, who donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund.

The wrong capitol building was invaded, and its leader kidnapped.
It should have been the white building in DC, a few thousand miles north.
That's the thug that should've been thrown in a prison cell.

MAGA’s place in history will be defined by its refusal to learn from the past. By ignoring the clear warnings left by the Nazi era, the movement has secured a legacy of disgrace that many believe is even more profound due to its willful ignorance.

So it turns out that the Venezuela mission and snatching of Maduro was a law-enforcement not law of war undertaking. That’s the implication of the administration‘s reliance on the 1989 Barr memo. It is a violation of international law, but the memo suggests that’s OK to enforce domestic drug laws.
