The Plot to Enslave the world
What do Venezuela, Greenland, Honduras, Nigeria, and “Freedom Cities” have in common? The “network state” cabal—which includes Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, & Joe Lonsdale—has been circling them like vultures. Thread. ⬇️

16 hours in, my guess this was all intended basically as a coup to put VP Delcy Rodriguez in power (likely without her knowledge but 🤷).
At least for democracy & human rights, that might be even worse than the "opening shots in a war" scenario.
All speculation, but let me explain:

I reached out to the author of this viral Reddit post thinking there might be a story in it. He sent me an employee badge that Gemini flagged as being AI-generated and supporting documents that I suspect were also generated by AI. Be careful out there folks!

Trump did it again. This is his 2nd post pushing a conspiracy that Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman murdered in her own home.
Absolutely disgusting.

On just the third day of his term, NYC Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social announced that his administration would move ahead with the full redesign of McGuinness Boulevard as soon as the weather is warm enough to accommodate the work. Definitely not futzing around.

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather.
“No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”
“No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

Seeing both "Venezuelan oil is very cheap to extract" and "Venezuelan oil is uneconomically costly to extract" takes, have any of you seen actual experts on this shit weigh in on this?

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

The top of the mobile SCIF is open?!? WTF
Trump is posting a bunch of photos without captions, presumably of him watching the Maduro kidnapping.
Is this the inside of a SCIF at Mar-a-Lago or did they just toss up some pipe and drape?

Former Politico reporter Rachael Bade is the poster child for the DC media disconnect. Grinning with a mimosa in her avatar while treating politics like a game.

yes. has been the pattern since his first term but especially starting in the 2024 campaign. as the real trump falters, they hurriedly cut away and replace him in their reporting and discussions with a fictional trump who says and does more reasonable things than the actual man does
This is the wild part about the whole Trump experience, even when he says politically disastrous things, reporters rush in to fill in the blanks and steelman his arguments. As soon as they cut away from him saying “we’ll run it,” they cut to someone saying “obviously he didn't mean that.”

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

just because i'm seeing the opposite take floating around, part of the libertarian sales pitch for "prediction markets" is that, unlike bookies or securities markets, insiders will trade on non-public information, leading to faster discovery of the "real" odds of an event occuring.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
