bombing these boats

Is it possible that the people in the 11- man boat being human-trafficked were the actual targets? Individuals still being trafficked by the operations that took up where Epstein left off. Individuals who, if intercepted or harbored in Europe, would lay bare a trafficking ring still completely in operation with many other Epsteins in many other countries. Like countries where they hunt gullible young models, for instance. Even more victims who might come forward and accuse powerful people.

Going out on a limb, is it also possible that Venezuela is in on it? ‘For a bribe, we let you say we’re the enemy. You only target these boats and, no, never attack inland. Just keep distracting and say you *are* thinking about attacking inland. So the rubes all believe Venezuela is not simply playing along in a con job.’ A distraction. Like Netanyahu laughing in the chair next to Trump as Trump declares to the world he’s going to turn Gaza into a resort. And Bibi responds with a shrug that says ‘sure, we’ll give you Gaza! That strip of land, meh, we don’t really like owning it anyway. *snickers* Such a headache.’

BREAKING: Venezuela’s former Chief of National Intelligence Hugo Carvajal has OFFICIALLY RELEASED every U.S. Senator who is on THE VENEZUELA LIST of politicians who have been receiving MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN KICKBACKS from the Maduro regime and Venezuelan drug trafficking organizations that make up his government in exchange for using their government positions and influence to undermine President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s ongoing war with these narcoterrorists.

Every one of these Senators is guilty of providing aid and comfort to THE ENEMY during a time of war and has the blood of their fellow American citizens.

(HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of whom die of drug overdoses every year at the hands of these criminal drug trafficking organizations that bring deadly drugs into our country) on their hands.

There's a particular kind of entitlement it takes to believe you can explain Venezuela to Venezuelans. And what's worse is that this so-called "analysis" often comes from people who claim to oppose appropriation and white-savior thinking, while doing exactly that.

When narratives about Venezuela are formed without Venezuelans in the conversation, reduced to simplistic takes about foreign interference and then broadcast as education through threads, carousels or reels that end up whitewashing a narco-authoritarian regime, that isn't activism. It's the appropriation of a pain that isn't yours.

Now, here's the reality. There are hundreds of political prisoners, including teenargers, many never properly tried. There are forced disappearances. More than 7 million Venezuelans, that's a quarter of the population, have fled the country, many crossing deadly terrain because staying was worse. Nearly half the population struggles to eat, children are malnourished, hospitals barely function. Journalists are silenced, NGOs are criminalized and families, whole entire families, including mine, forced to flee.

Given this reality, using US force to remove a narco-regime that has held an entire population hostage for decades isn't interventionism. It's a response to a regional security crisis. Venezuela has become a continental issue, destabilizing neighboring countries and the United States through mass displacement while serving as a safe haven for guerrila groups, drug and human trafficking networks and hostile actors like Russia, China and Iran.

Venezuelan sovereignty was lost long ago when the regime effectively handed the country over to these interests. Freeing Venezuela from criminal control is not only a just cause, it serves the stability of the entire hemisphere. And if we're going to move forward in this deeply polarized tribal moment, we have to learn how to hold two opposing truths at the same time.

The shrill, condescending elites who bear no cost for their luxury beliefs speaking the loudest about Venezuela don't know anything about Venezuela. They don't care that about a quarter of the country's entire population fled the country to escape the regime. They don't care that there's actual famine in Venezuela. They don't care that the Venezuelans are thrilled that the dictator they've suffered under has been removed.

What they care about is that a) socialism has failed once again, and b) the person to save the Venezuelans is a US president who lives rent free in their heads.

There was no war. There was an operation that was over faster than the Keffiyeh Karens could eat a whole tube of cookie dough and then cry into their pillows because they felt disgusting after.

Pay attention to who the "No KIngs" people are who claim to be "antifascist," but are busy defending a fascist narco-terrorist dictator.

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

Tanya Lukyanova: Are you excited about the socialist program?

A: Good to give it a shot.

A: I'm for it all the way.

A: It has so many policies that I believe in.

Lukyanova: This is my friend Daniel who escaped Venezuela.

-

Lukyanova: Did you vote for Zoran Mondani?

A: Of course!

A: Yes!

A: Yeah!

A: I canvassed for him.

A: The young people support him.

A: Mamdani's cool.

Lukyanova: Are you at all worried that he is a socialist?

A: Not really.

A: I think socialism is actually really good for society.

A: I'm a professor.

Lukyanova: Aat NYU, I'm assuming.

A: Yes.

Lukyanova: Are you familiar with how socialism worked out in other countries historically?

A: Just because it didn't work out so well in other parts of the world doesn't mean it won't work out well for New York.

Lukyanova: I actually have a friend of mine here who fled Venezuela. He is a living product of socialism not working out in other places.

Daniel Di Martino: I came from Venezuela nine years ago. It's the only country that was ever destroyed by socialism democratically.

A: Venezuela. Y'all got a lot of other problems to deal with.

Di Martino: The problems were caused by the socialist policies. My family went from making two, three thousand dollars a month 20 years ago to a hundred dollars a month in 2016.

That was because the government gave everything you can imagine for free. We went from being a normal middle-class family with a car and then no electricity, no water. Mamdani actually thinks that Maduro was not a dictator.

And 10 years ago, he actually praised our rigged elections.

A: What specific socialist policies do you think led to that?

Di Martino: The government took over people's businesses: farms, grocery stores, factories.

Do you support the proposal of government grocery stores?

A: Of course I do.

Di Martino: There was very little supply of chicken, toilet paper.

There was a line for blocks and blocks for a grocery store.

A: Some of that money might fund corruption.

Di Martino: Wait, why do you think the grocery store sells you food? For charity or for money?

A: For money.

Di Martino: That's not a bad thing.

A: What happened in Venezuela isn't going to happen here. The policy is more focused on helping people out.

Di Martino: Every politician will promise to help the people. Socialism means the government owns and controls the means of production, that is, the companies, the businesses. Like Mondani says, the government will own the grocery store.

Nine million of us escaped our country. It's the largest refugee crisis in the world.

A: Crazy.

A: Wow.

A: There is a lot of opportunities to use the wealth of New York to help everyone else.

Lukyanova: You know, they have tried that in the Soviet Union, from where my parents and my grandparents are from. All they remember of grocery stores is empty shelves.

Di Martino: Zohran Mondani himself said that his goal is to abolish private property.

A: All of it? He's going to take everything?

Mamdani: We can establish community land trusts to gradually buy up housing on the private market and convert it to community ownership.

Di Martino: You want to live in public housing?

A: No.

Di Martino: New York City builds less total housing units than Austin, Texas, a city that is one-eighth of the size of New York.

A: We need a change.

Di Martino: But then the change that we need is one that increases the supply of housing, right? Not that one that will decrease it like Mondani.

And I fear that what happened in Venezuela, Maduro, a president that was originally democratically elected, decided to give everything away for free, take people's businesses, you know, for the workers, and then it all went bankrupt and became very poor.

Lukyanova: Over 62% of young people and 66% of Democrats support socialism nationwide.

Di Martino: The Democratic Socialists of America, have you heard of them?

A: You know Mondani is a part of it, right?

A: Yeah.

Di Martino: The DSA went to Venezuela just last year to support the dictator and say that he won the election that he didn't.

A: I had no idea.

A: No, I did not know this.

Di Martino: Do you think we should be supporting dictators like that

A: Oh, no.

Di Martino: Government rent control, it's going to stop people from renting apartments because they're not going to be able to profit. There are going to be fewer apartments for rent, and then we're going to have less opportunities to actually live.

A: That's a good point. I agree with that.

Di Martino: Okay.

A: I understand more about socialism now for sure.

Di Martino: Since we have had more free markets and capitalism in the world, billions of people have been lifted from poverty and that every country that has attempted socialism, Venezuela, Cuba, the Soviet Union, North Korea, Eastern Europe, many countries in Africa, all of them became poor.

A: You've been through it in Venezuela.

Di Martino: Yes.

A: Why don't you move out of New York?

Di Martino: I already did, actually.

A: Oh, then awesome. Why do you care?

Di Martino: Well, I already moved out of my country too. Do you think people should just keep moving out as socialists destroy their countries and their cities?

A: I mean, if you don't like the policies that the government's in power doing, then yeah.

A: I think my opinion might have changed a little bit.

A: I'll be doing more research. Thank you for sharing.

A: I heard a great quote about socialism, which is, "it's really a great system until you run out of spending other people's money."

Di Martino: With the rise of socialism in America, it's more important than ever that we have these conversations.

==

When people decide their political positions and support based on feelings and vibes, not facts.

I mean, if you don't like the policies that the government's in power doing, then yeah.

I bet she doesn't say the same thing about people protesting deportations of illegal immigrants, bans on sex trait modifications on minors, or bans on abortion.

"Why do you care?" is such a disingenuous, hypocritical retort, especially coming from someone with an obvious activist mindset, given she's the one who says she canvassed for him.

I do love the optics, though, of a white woman who has undoubtedly screeched some version of "listen to marginalized people" and "lived experience" behaving like a brown man just doesn't understand things like she does. The back and forth swaying shows just how uncomfortable she is trying to do the intersectional math and search her brain for the right slogan or thought terminating cliche to self-soothe.

NYC mayoral aide Cea Weaver who says whites owning houses is racist bursts into TEARS when asked about her mother's $1.4m Craftsman home

By: Natasha Anderson

Published: Jan 8, 2026

A woke aide to New York City's new socialist mayor burst out crying when confronted over her assertion that it is racist for white people to own homes - despite her own mother owning a $1.4m Craftsman house. 

Cea Weaver, who runs Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Office to Protect Tenants, was overcome with emotion when confronted outside her apartment in Brooklyn on Wednesday morning.

The 37-year-old began running down the street after seeing a Daily Mail reporter outside her home, then said 'No' through tears when asked if she wanted to comment on her professor mother Celia Applegate's ownership of the $1.4 million property in fast-gentrifying Nashville.

Weaver appeared to be walking towards a nearby subway station, but then turned back and ran inside her home, which has a 'Free Palestine' poster taped to one of its windows. 

She was subsequently seen peering out the same window with the poster in it.  

Weaver previously tweeted that 'homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy' and that 'homeownership is racist' in social media posts that also urged people to 'impoverish the white middle class.' 

In another Twitter missive from 2018, Weaver wrote: 'There is no such thing as "good gentrifier," only people who are actively working on projects to dismantle white supremacy and capitalism and people who aren't.'

Weaver further called on people to 'seize private property' and called for the election of communist lawmakers. 

The privileged former Bryn Mawr College student's stunning hypocrisy was uncovered by the Daily Mail on Wednesday when we revealed her mother owned a gorgeous Craftsman home in Nashville worth $1.4 million.

Socialism is a luxury belief of very privileged, very hypocritical elites.

It should be mentioned that tears like this are, of course, indicative of either a manipulative sociopath trying to cast herself as a "victim," or at least a very mentally unstable person. Given her unrepentant and overt racism, I tend to lean toward the former rather than the latter, but either way, she has no business being given any amount of political power.

Luxury beliefs have, to a large extent, replaced luxury goods. Luxury beliefs are ideas and opinions that confer status on the upper class, while often inflicting costs on the lower classes.
