I can't create new cartoons at the moment because I'm blissfully away in Spain, largely ignoring the news.

But, if you need one - just replace a country in these with Venezuela, Cuba or Mexico and you'll get the idea

Musk wrote a blurb for Ro Khanna's first book. Khanna praised Thiel before, defended DOGE, took Thiel's money, he goes to fundraisers hosted by David Sacks, what do people think this is?

And why do people think Khanna suddenly cared so much about Epstein anyway? Not related to this no doubt.

Many people -- but most notably, Epstein's victims -- told the truth about Epstein and were smeared and abandoned by both parties. The DOJ protects Epstein. Dem propagandists defended the DOJ under Biden. The GOP buried the case under Trump.

Were all these people "distracted"? Or simply evil?

It's bizarre to see Democrats proclaim in unison that Venezuela is "a distraction from Epstein" after they spent the past decade ignoring Epstein and smearing those who looked into Epstein as "QAnon conspiracists" and such. They didn't care about child rape or about exposing Trump and his network.

The “Venezuela distracts from Epstein” line is ridiculous because 1) many awful things happen at once 2) Same Iran-Contra crowd pushing Venezuela invasion are or were involved with Epstein/Maxwell 3) Epstein associates (for ex, Dershowitz) want Iran invasion and see Venezuela as a test run for Iran

Vintage Investment Partners in Israel and Sanabil Investments / Public Investment Fund in Saudi are the powerhouses. Incidentally, Unit 8200 are running venture capital in Israel, fusing with the venture capital apparatus much as CIA has fused with venture capital through In-Q-Tel.

Smart and incisive thoughts on the “neo-royalist” world order the Trumpists envision, from @abenewman.bsky.social.

The key really is: Trump doesn’t have a coherent ideology, but he *does* have a consistent worldview defined by hierarchies. That’s where he and the Trumpist ideologues come together.

If you look at the White House's social media strategy, it involves many GenAI videos.

Elon Musk retweeted the post above which is very clearly fake, but many will not be able to tell.

It's why the US refuses to regulate GenAI in any meaningful way, and pushed for domestic ownership of TikTok.

The Trump admin cut many soft power initiatives last year, moving away from USAID, USAGM etc.

The new soft power push is via unregulated and unmoderated generative AI, social media, podcasts & digital platforms owned by US oligarchs.

It's driven by algorithms and engagement based incentives.
This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.

But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

Spain's Sánchez did somewhat more.
Spain's PM Pedro Sanchez is 1st European leader to make a stronger statement following Trump's press conference where he said the US will run Venezuela and take its oil.

Sanchez has been ostracised by other 🇪🇺 leaders for his past criticism of Trump. Will they listen to him now?
