So it's mere coincidence that Venezuela has significant deposits of gold, rare earth elements and other critical minerals needed for technological manufacturing, defense systems and weapons; and Nigeria's top exports are crude petroleum, petroleum gas, gold, nitrogenous fertilizers and cocoa beans?

It's a horrific read and am surprised not many know about it. If fully implemented the ramifications are scary.

I can see why: it doesn't even scratch of this issue, e.g. no mention of Erik Prince's emails outlining the entire thing including the endgame, legalities of leasing part of the prison so it's technically on "US soil", profits, etc.
That's the real story behind this: the one I want reported.

That's what I find strange: Venezuela and Russia are allies, so why is Trump attacking them? Is it the revamped Monroe Doctrine again?

Does this mean to say Russia/USSR has finally completed the phycological part of undermining other countries' social stability before attacking? I've been reading about that for a couple decades now, including interviews from agents who defected to the West.
Hopefully we're stronger than that.

Unless they switch over to crematoriums: the heat coming from them are used to heat houses (Sweden, Denmark), and Australia's looking into harnessing that and sewage waste to power homes.

They haven't followed the children's propaganda yet, have they? Unfortunately, it worked (better than today's social credit system), keeping the public in line: imagine your kid turning you in, brainwashed they're right and now you had to face "piano wire".
Hopefully it won't get this far.

The way they were talking on the news, you'd think both numbers would be at least half-way up to 16. Still going to be careful, though. Especially on the TTC.

I'm guessing you've never been in the unenviable position of having to choose between downing a bunch of advil and such to go to work to pay rent or stay home and lose the roof over your head.
This is the reality for some and I've yet to see anyone address this: even Ontario sick days are unpaid.

Why are people surprised: we've been warning you about AI burning up the Earth, Google quietly removed their environmental commitment, and people are still blaming the gov't for the consequences of their own actions? I'm not a fan of the current premier, but give credit where it's due.

You know you've read too many spy thrillers when you first mistake the news of the National Guard suddenly deployed in a city that has strategic military offices and that all generals are recalled back for an upcoming book, only to find out it's real life.
