A very long and important THREAD -
The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

The film Palestine 36, which won Best Film at the Tokyo International Film Festival (2025), is currently facing a wave of coordinated 1‑star ratings on IMDb, driven by pro‑Israeli lobby groups seeking to undermine its visibility and credibility.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has criticised the capture of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro on X, calling it an 'act of war' and saying the 'blatant pursuit of regime change' affects not just those abroad, but also tens of thousands of Venezuelans in New York.

PM Albanese is a stooge to the violent pedophilic fascists in the US and Israel.
Saying things like "we've always been concerned about human rights and democracy" as the Empire flattens both is gaslighting and propaganda.
Australia needs a strong, moral leader. We have a toad.

Just imagining a world where the ALP had dumped AUKUS and the LNP alone were still clinging to the view that the US was the great protector.

Country 9 in global oil reserves has invaded country 1 and arrested its president. Country 7 is under sanctions and its refineries are being destroyed. Country 2 is facing off with country 6. And there are riots in country 3. But oil is only $60/bbl. Maybe oil is not as critical as it used to be?

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.
This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.
It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.
