Hilo: Así vive Venezuela hoy 🧵 1️⃣ Ya no te secuestran solo en tu casa. Ahora te interceptan en la calle, sin orden judicial, te quitan la libertad y luego… te borran del sistema. (hrw.org) 2️⃣ No hay expediente. No hay tribunal. No hay causa. Para el Estado, no existes. 3️⃣ Y cuando no existes legalmente, pueden hacer contigo lo que quieran físicamente. Las familias quedan sin información, sin derechos. 4️⃣ Esto va más allá de los presos políticos. En Venezuela, todos viven bajo amenaza, sin importar su actividad política. 5️⃣ Así operan: •Te interceptan en la calle. •Te desaparecen del registro. •Niegan tu detención. •Impunidad total. 6️⃣ Esto no es negligencia. Es terror de Estado. La desaparición de la identidad es el paso previo a la desaparición forzada. 7️⃣ Hoy ocurre en Venezuela. Y ocurre en silencio. Que el mundo lo sepa.

Para izquierdistas con brújula dañada: Con el chavismo no ocurrió una “lucha contra la oligarquía”. Ocurrió algo distinto y mucho más grave: la sustitución de élites. La oligarquía tradicional —empresarial, productiva, con límites institucionales— fue desplazada, expropiada o expulsada. En su lugar no surgió una sociedad más igualitaria, sino una estructura de poder criminal: política, militar y económica, sostenida por coerción, rentas ilegales y control del Estado. Hoy, en Venezuela, la riqueza no es fruto de competir ni producir, sino de obedecer, intermediar o reprimir. Eso no es justicia social. Es captura del Estado. #Venezuela #AnálisisPolítico #PolíticaSinPasiones #Chavismo

False freedom under socialism.

“Our journey towards freedom has always lived inside us. We are returning to ourselves. We are returning home.” Maria Corina Machado, 2025 peace prize laureate, delivered a powerful Nobel Peace Prize lecture in Oslo, Norway. Although she could not be present in person, her words were carried to us by her daughter, Ana Corina Sosa Machado. In the lecture, Machado reminded us that the spirit of liberty is rooted in Venezuelan soil, and encouraged Venezuelans to keep fighting for freedom. She guided us through Venezuela’s history of democracy. In 1811, Venezuelan wrote the first constitution in the Spanish-speaking world – affirming the radical idea that every human being carries a sovereign dignity and enshrining citizenship, individual rights, religious liberty, and separation of powers. She illustrated how Venezuela opened its arms to migrants and exiles from every corner of the earth in times of turmoil, for example, Spaniards fleeing civil war, Italians and Portuguese escaping poverty and dictatorship, and Jews after the Holocaust. She spoke of how authoritarian rule emerged from 1999 onward, as the current regime dismantled democratic institutions, oppressed its own people, and how she and her fellow Venezuelans have continued to fight for freedom. It is her firm belief that "freedom is a choice that must be renewed each day, measured by our willingness and our courage to defend it", and that the will of the Venezuelan people will prevail, restoring democracy and hope in Venezuela.

Simon Dixons wise words ‼️ THEY ARE LYING TO YOU Wall Street & British bankers created the Federal Reserve in 1913 to take over the role of the Bank of England after bankrupting the UK government in service of the military-industrial complex (MIC). Wall Street funded the Bolshevik Revolution to install the Communist dictatorship in Russia. Wall Street handed over gold held at the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve every time Hitler invaded a new country. Wall Street funded World War I & World War II to build the U.S. MIC, which backed the dollar through the IMF, World Bank, & Federal Reserve, forcing the world onto a dollar standard. Wall Street funded the Cold War while profiting from crony capitalism fueled by debt in the US & communism in the Soviet Union. Wall Street needed war in order to shift power from the MIC to the financial-industrial complex (FIC). Each time it escalated a covert war, it securitized and financialized national resources through color revolutions, IMF debt, sanctions, and political interference to install compliant dictators. Wall Street needed NATO to prop up the dollar with ever more weapons sales even after Gorbachev managed the fall of the Soviet Union. Wall Street needed to manufacture a fake war on terror and drugs, while the CIA profited from drug trafficking, human trafficking, sex trafficking, and weapons trafficking. Wall Street needed Afghan poppy seeds to sustain the drug trade. When the Taliban stopped the flow of drugs, they were replaced with a puppet Taliban to turn the drugs back on. Wall Street hedge funds needed the Bank of Japan to gamble and manipulate markets so they can profit from wars & steal resources. The towers came down with the knowledge and coordination of the CIA, Mossad, & Saudi intelligence. The CIA manufactured ISIS & Al-Qaeda. Now the financial-industrial complex is being challenged by the technological-industrial complex (TIC), after Wall Street handed over Pentagon technology to Google, Apple, Microsoft, Palantir, Nvidia, Tesla, Facebook, Twitter, and others, while manufacturing myths about entrepreneurs starting in garages to privatize the control grid they created. Now the goal is CBDCs, stablecoins, tokenized everything, digital IDs, social credit scores, AI and pre-crime policing. The TIC is manufacturing civil unrest to introduce its new control grid. What they are testing in Gaza is a beta version of what the TIC wants for you, as outlined by George Orwell in 1984. To convince you this was capitalism and the export of democracy based on Christian values and a “superior civilization,” they sold you the American Dream & freedom of speech. It was never capitalism. It was never democratic. Instead, you became a debt slave to Wall Street, or a Wall Street puppet compromised through Jeffrey Epstein–style operations, allowed to remain in power only if you submitted to the Proof-of-Weapons network. Now they want you to believe Trump is here to “Make America Great Again,” even as government has become subordinate to the FIC and corporate interests. All the while, they hide the fact that Wall Street wants BRICS & a multipolar world, strategically weakening the dollar by selling U.S. companies to Gulf states that built sovereign wealth using Chinese money. They are now engineering a controlled demolition of the petrodollar, eurodollar, and Japan carry trade, breaking commodity backed derivatives contracts to force another QE cycle at low interest rates. Trump is there to shrink the U.S. into a regional power, weaken the dollar, inflate asset prices, and monetize debt through fiscal dominance, leaving the average American with the debt while the Proof-of-Weapons network takes the profits. Everything they are still selling you is nothing but lies. Americans are no longer useful to Wall Street so they are bringing their violence home. Protect yourself. Relearn the BS history they wrote for you:

THE ULTIMATE ORANGE PILL🔥 Here’s the thing nobody wants to say out loud because it ruins brunch: The natural state of a free market is deflation. Prices falling. Abundance increasing. Life getting easier. More stuff, cheaper, better, faster, forever. That is what competition plus technology actually does when left alone. If this sounds insane to you, congratulations, you have been successfully domesticated like the tax cattle that you are! Every year humans invent machines that do more work for less energy, less time, less labor. Computers get cheaper. Software scales infinitely. AI is about to vaporize entire white-collar industries while running on electricity that gets more efficient every decade. In a sane system, this means your money buys more every year and you work less to live better. But that cannot be allowed! Because the entire global economy is a rotting debt tower duct-taped together with the promise that tomorrow will fix today. And deflation is kryptonite to debt. Deflation is debt sobriety. It’s the moment the drunk realizes the bar is closed. So instead, they light money on fire on purpose. They call it “stimulus.” They call it “growth.” They call it “2 percent inflation targets,” like that isn’t a polite way of saying “we will steal from you slowly so you don’t riot.” Inflation is the anesthetic required to keep this corpse economy moving. It makes debt lighter, assets explode upward, and wages chase prices like a dog chasing a car it will never catch. That’s why your grandparents bought a house on one salary and you need a dual-income household, a side hustle, a crypto portfolio, and mild alcoholism just to rent a condo with inspirational wall art. Technology is screaming, “Everything should be cheaper.” Central banks are screaming back, “Shut the fuck up.” Bitcoin says: what if money actually reflected reality? What if productivity gains weren’t stolen before they reached you? What if saving wasn’t a financial death sentence? What if the future wasn’t a leveraged hallucination funded by your shrinking purchasing power? That’s the orange pill. It’s realizing that inflation is a controlled demolition of your time, your labor, your future, dressed up as economic management. And deflation, the thing they tell you to fear, is just abundance trying to happen before being beaten back into submission. And once you see that, you don’t unsee it. You just sit there quietly at dinner, smiling, while everyone else argues about interest rates like hostages negotiating with their captors. Welcome to the ultimate orange pill. BUY BITCOIN AND INHERIT THE PRODUCTIVITY GAINS OF HUMANITY WITHOUT DEBASEMENT

La dictadura en Venezuela 🇻🇪 ahora dice que incautar barcos sancionados es “piratería”. Pero robar elecciones, robar PDVSA y robar el futuro… eso sí es “revolución” 🤡 El régimen intenta blindar legalmente su economía ilícita. Es un choque directo con el orden marítimo internacional y confirma que el petróleo sigue siendo una parte importante del financiamiento del régimen, no del país. 📌 Fuente: Associated Press (AP)

BRUSSELS’ DEMOGRAPHIC REPLACEMENT: DENIAL IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE - 3 OUT OF 4 CHILDREN ARE OF NON-EUROPEAN ORIGIN Official figures show that nearly 3 out of 4 children in Brussels are now of non-European origin, a transformation with profound social consequences. Only a small fraction of minors in the city are of Belgian origin, while the vast majority come from outside Europe, reshaping the future population in real time. This did not happen by accident, but through deliberate policy choices made by political elites who dismissed warnings as “myths.” Family reunification has become the primary engine of mass settlement, accelerating demographic change far beyond public consent. When a capital city reaches the point where most of its population no longer shares historical, cultural, or civic roots, integration becomes an illusion. What is unfolding in Brussels is not diversity management, but demographic replacement driven by policy inertia and ideological blindness. Refusing to acknowledge these numbers only deepens public mistrust and guarantees further social fracture. Source: @immigrbarometer

🇪🇺🇧🇪 FROM EUROPE’S RICHEST TO A STATE LOSING CONTROL - HOW BELGIUM BLEW IT: DEBT, CRIME, AND A GOVERNMENT IN PARALYSIS Belgium was once one of Europe’s most prosperous and stable countries, standing alongside the Netherlands as a model of wealth and governance. Thirty years later, it is drowning in debt, paralysed politically, and openly warned by its own judges that it is sliding toward a narco-state. Public debt is heading beyond 120% of GDP, deficits are entrenched, and governments collapse before any serious reform can be enforced. This is not a sudden crisis, but the result of decades of institutional decay, endless bureaucracy, and a political system incapable of decisive action. As the state weakens, organised crime has moved in, exploiting fractured policing, porous ports, and a justice system under strain. Antwerp, one of Europe’s most important ports, has become a key entry point for cocaine and large-scale money laundering networks. Judges now warn that criminal structures are no longer marginal, but embedded within public institutions themselves. Corruption, intimidation, and violence are no longer anomalies, but recurring features in parts of the country. Meanwhile, Belgium’s complex and bloated governance model drains public finances while delivering less security, less order, and less accountability. A rich country surrounded by stable neighbours is failing not because it lacks resources, but because it lacks authority and cohesion. Belgium’s trajectory is a warning to Europe of what happens when debt piles up, governance fragments, and the state retreats. This is not just economic decline, it is the slow erosion of sovereignty from within. Source: elEconomista

EUROPE’S DECLINE IS SELF-INFLICTED - AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT Europe today has no serious internet sector, no global tech champions, and no innovation engine capable of competing with the U.S. or Asia. Its economy is stagnant, its industrial base is hollowing out, unemployment remains structurally high, and energy dependency has become a permanent vulnerability. This is not bad luck, it is the result of deliberate choices. Crippling regulation, punitive taxes, ideological climate policies, and hostility toward free markets have suffocated growth and driven capital elsewhere. Europe lectures the world on values while importing energy, outsourcing innovation, and regulating itself into irrelevance. To rebuild anything, infrastructure, industry, competitiveness, Europe would need to deregulate, cut taxes, abandon climate absolutism, and embrace real market economics. These are reforms Europe refuses to make, even as its decline accelerates. The tragedy is not that Europe cannot compete, it is that it chooses not to.

A fixed Bitcoin cap will cause a deflation spiral, which is bad for the economy!” Oh please. Deflation is bad for debt-soaked fiat regimes that need infinite money printing to avoid collapse. Let me translate what they’re actually saying: “If money gets more valuable over time, people might save instead of spending every paycheck on garbage they don’t need to keep zombie corporations on life support.” The horror. Here’s what they won’t tell you: Fiat runs on debt. All of it. • Governments borrow • Corporations borrow • You borrow The whole thing is a Jenga tower of IOUs that only works if tomorrow’s dollar is worth less than today’s. Inflation is the grease that keeps the machine running. You repay loans with cheaper money. Debt gets easier to service. That’s theft with extra steps. Now flip it. What happens when money actually appreciates? • Debt becomes a death sentence • Governments can’t print their way out • Corporations can’t roll garbage debt forever The Ponzi collapses. That’s why they fear deflation. Not because it hurts you. Because it kills them. Now let’s talk Bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn’t run on debt. It doesn’t need infinite expansion. It doesn’t require you trapped in loans to function. Bitcoin rewards saving. Bitcoin rewards production. Bitcoin rewards long-term thinking. In a Bitcoin system, money appreciates because supply is fixed and demand grows. Every sat saved today buys more tomorrow, not less. What does that create? Discipline. • People stop financing junk • Companies stop leveraging themselves into oblivion • Governments can’t fund endless wars on a credit card “But won’t people hoard and never spend?” No. People still spend. They just spend wisely. On things that actually matter, not impulse garbage financed at 29 percent APR. Deflation destroys fiat systems because they’re designed to punish savers and reward debtors. Deflation in Bitcoin is natural, healthy, and inevitable. It rewards people who create real value and store it across time. Imagine a world where your paycheck buys you more every year, not less. A world where the cost of groceries, homes, and healthcare falls—or at least stays the same—over time. Opt out.

Jacques Baud is a retired Swiss Army colonel and author known for his analyses of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, often critical of Western narratives. On Dec 15, 2025, the EU added him to its sanctions list (Council Decision 2025/2572) for allegedly spreading pro-Russian propaganda via media appearances, including claims that Ukraine provoked its own invasion. This resulted in asset freezes and transaction bans in the EU. Baud, residing in Belgium, reported learning of it via media and facing sudden financial restrictions without prior notice or appeal process. He and critics argue it violates free speech; EU maintains it's to counter disinformation undermining Ukraine's security.

Money does not exist in nature. If every human vanished tomorrow—poof, Thanos snap—money dies with us. Not slowly. Instantly. Because money isn't real. It's not gravity. It's not water. It's not some fundamental law of physics carved into the universe's source code. Gravity pulls planets whether you believe in it or not. Water cycles through ecosystems without asking for permission. Those are natural phenomena. They persist. Money? Money is a shared hallucination. A collective delusion we all agreed to participate in because the alternative, pure barter, was a logistical nightmare. Look around. Animals hoard food. Birds collect shiny objects to attract mates. Squirrels bury acorns. But they're not pricing those acorns in "nut dollars." There's no interest rate on stored seeds. No squirrel is taking out a loan to front-run winter scarcity. That's instinct. That's biology. That's not money. Money only exists when humans assign value to something and agree that it represents stored labor, future purchasing power, or social coordination at scale. Without minds to recognize it, gold is just a shiny metal in the ground. Bitcoin is just dormant code on dead servers. Carl Menger figured this out in the 1870s. Money emerges organically from human action and voluntary agreement—not government decree, not divine mandate. Gold became money because humans decided it had the right properties: scarce, durable, divisible, portable, verifiable. We built entire civilizations around that consensus. But here's the kicker: gold isn't inherently money without us assigning it that role. It's just element 79 on the periodic table. Bitcoin? Same deal. It's a digital construct we engineered because we needed better properties for a global, hyperconnected world. But in a human-less universe? Bitcoin's ledger halts. The network dies. The protocol becomes a fossil record of a species that once tried to escape monetary debasement. This is the part most people miss: The evolution of money doesn't happen because it's etched into the fabric of reality. It happens because we build it. We improve it. We upgrade the operating system. Seashells → Gold → Paper → Digital. Each iteration solves problems the previous one couldn't. Each step is a reflection of human ingenuity, not natural inevitability. And right now, we're in the middle of the biggest monetary upgrade in human history. Bitcoin isn't "real" in the sense that it exists independent of us. But neither is the dollar. Neither is gold as money. The difference is Bitcoin was engineered—deliberately, mathematically, incorruptibly—to be the best form of money humans have ever created. 21 million hard cap. No central authority. No counterparty risk. No inflation. No debasement. It's not real because it's natural. It's real because we made it that way. And that's the point.

Privacy is about choosing who gets our personal information. But we’ve been tricked into thinking it’s about “hiding” because default settings force us into constant data collection. It’s time to fight back and reclaim our right to consent from the start.

El socialismo no fue un error ni un experimento que salió mal, fue un plan intencional. En Venezuela la pobreza no apareció por casualidad, fue fabricada; la escasez no fue un accidente, fue diseñada; el miedo no fue una consecuencia, fue una herramienta de control. No destruyeron el país por incapacidad sino por conveniencia, porque un ciudadano libre piensa, exige y se rebela, mientras uno dependiente agradece migajas y obedece. No faltaron recursos, sobró corrupción; no hubo mala gestión, hubo un modelo que necesita miseria para mantenerse en el poder. Venezuela no es una teoría ni una exageración, es la prueba viva de lo que el socialismo siempre hace cuando se aplica de verdad.
