This of course overshadowed the failed Venezuela coup

Inside the Failed U.S. Coup Attempt in Venezuela, w/ Former FM Jorge Arreaza

The U.S. military raid on Venezuela on January 3 shocked the world. On Dispatches, Rania Khalek is joined by Jorge Arreaza, Venezuela’s former foreign minister, to explain what actually happened and to respond directly to U.S. media narratives about “betrayal,” regime change, and control.

Trump declares emergency to shield Venezuelan oil funds

https://morungexpress.com/trump-declares-emergency-to-shield-venezuelan-oil-funds

US President Donald Trump has declared a national emergency to block courts and creditors from seizing Venezuelan government funds held by the United States of America.

This is important to protect oil-related revenues, which is critical to US national security and foreign policy objectives in the Western Hemisphere.

In an executive order signed on Friday and released on Saturday, Trump said the "threat of attachment or the imposition of other judicial process" against Venezuelan government deposit funds would "materially harm the national security and foreign policy of the United States".



And that of course overshadowed the Epstein files.


Have we made it 2 weeks into 2026 yet...

We have the Marcos family in power in the Philippines, and now they want to bring back another 1960s despot regime.

Maybe Fulgencio Batista has a grandkid they could put in charge of Cuba.

Kristi Noem has been bandying another phrase from Nazi Germany around: "One of us, all of yours." It's a threat.

Yeah rather unbelievable. Calling "From the river to the sea" antisemitic then using Nazi slogans...

lol the last lines

NOTE: This piece was researched and written by a human, not some bullshit “ai” plagiarism software.

Those who cannot remember the past need a history teacher who says “fuck” a lot.


Edit: Seems this piece is the source of the connection, did James Fell make up the connection...

James Fell (born 1968) is a Canadian writer. He initially wrote about health and fitness in an effort to debunk fitness myths. Since 2020, his books have focused on historical events.

Yeah, rather points like to he made up the connection, internet ran with it. He says it in the piece:

But what about that slogan underneath the micro-needled Noem Nazi, “One of Ours, All of Yours”? It is not a direct quote from Nazi Germany, but it certainly embodies the spirit of how they acted when a Nazi was killed by the resistance. One example was the massacre of the Czech village of Lidice.


It does read like a threat...

I was googling it and did not find a source.
I mean, it obviously reads like a threat, and that's what I think it is, but is the connection real?

Good catch, the history behind the collective punishment is real, but no hits on that slogan before yesterday... Also nothing in German.

So I guess the connection is manufactured.

Also can't find where Noem got it from.


Edit: Found the source

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/kristi-noem-touts-roundup-54-204339037.html

The summertime shooting of an off-duty federal border patrol agent at a Manhattan park by a pair of scooter-riding immigrants sparked a massive roundup Big Apple gangbangers, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced at a Lower Manhattan press conference Thursday.

“Operation Salvo” targeted the Trinitarios street gang and took 54 members of the crew off the streets — with the feds laser-focused on the task after two reputed members shot and wounded the 42-year-old agent at Fort Washington Park on July 19.




How many are actually gang members / actually guilty, who knows. Collective punishment regardless.

Authorities did not release the names of the reputed gangbangers who were charged, and had photos of four of the suspects at the press conference with the charges they face — but no names.

Homeland Security officials did not immediately respond to a request for more information.

She said Salvo is “just the beginning” of the Trump Administration’s war on illegal criminals.

Hi, US citizen here. Just checking in to confirm I didn't vote for Trump. I'm still not sure how that happened again either. I just live here, but with a passport.

That's my entire foreign policy statement.

Trump’s in spot of bother amidst Iran threats as economic uncertainty looms


Donald Trump on Monday said that he may attack Iran even before holding talks with the Islamic Republic’s leadership. However, what has made his life worse are blistering attacks from two top names within the US. Actor Mark Ruffalo didn’t mince words when he singled out Trump for the chaos across the US following the death of 37-year-old mother of three in Minneapolis. The. Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell issued an extraordinary video message accusing the Trump administration of intimidating him. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets across Iran to counter the anti-government protests.


Is Trump going to follow Netanyahu into his next failure?

So the lunatic fascist in the White House has brought my home country (Denmark) to the greatest geopolitical crisis it has been in since his German predecessor decided to invade us on April 9th, 1940.

Trump has repeatedly threatened with military force to take over Greenland (now a territory under the Kingdom of Denmark).

These are not just words, as he is also asking army chiefs to draft a plan for the military take-over, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15452323/Donald-Trump-orders-army-chiefs-plan-invade-Greenland-President.html

The reasoning for taking over Greenland is all based on endless lies and misformation from the Trump-regime. To list a few:

LIE #1: "The US needs Greenland from the point of National Security."

The Truth: According to a still active agreement from 1951, the US has full leeway to place whatever military personal and equipment on Greenland that it desires for the purpose of defending against NATO's enemies. It doesn't even have to ask permission, it only has to inform Denmark + Greenland. Still under Trump (and any other US president post cold war) the US has not prioritized beefing up the presence on Greenland, but has actually abandoned most bases and withdrawn 95 % of the personal.

LIE #2: "Denmark is free-loading and not contributing it's share to NATO"

The Truth: Denmark has met the requested target of 2 % of GDP for military budget by 2024, and is on track to expand it to the 5 % required by 2035.

LIE #3: "Denmark is not a good ally"

The Truth: Denmark has supported the US in every single major military conflict the US has been involved with in the 21st century, including being one of the countries loosing most soldiers in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

Lie #4: "Russian and Chinese ships are all over the area, we have to take it before they do"
The Truth: There is zero evidence that there is a significant presence of Chinese or Russian ships around Greenland. There is no threat of these countries invading Greenland and thereby starting a war with NATO.

Misinformation #1: "Denmark and Greenland cannot defend Greenland, Denmark has send one dog sledge!"

The Truth: "It is true that Denmark and Greenland cannot defend Greenland alone, but neither should they, the aforementioned 1951 agreement states that the military defense of Greenland is US' task, while other political tasks are Denmark's responsibility. Still, upon request from Trump in 2019, Denmark has rapidly increased it's military spending on Greenland, investing billions of dollars in it, and organizing huge NATO training missions on the island.

Misinformation #2: "Greenland doesn't even want to be a part of Denmark"

The Truth: Greenland has been working towards getting independence for a long time, and they have gotten practically independence on everything except matters related to foreign politics and defense. They are also still depending on around 0.5-1 billion US dollars (40 % of their total budget) in support from the danish government each year. According to the agreement with Denmark, Greenland is free to declare itself independent from Denmark at any point, but they have not done so yet. While most Greenlanders dream of future full independence from Denmark, the route and speed of getting there is not agreed upon among the people. Also, the people of Greenland strongly prefers being part of Denmark to being part of the US. Only 6 % of the population thinks it would be a good idea to become part of the US.

Misinformation #3: "Denmark is not allowing Greenland to use it's natural resources. The US should instead have access to the resources"

The Truth: Okay, so another country which should have its resources stolen by the US? Yes and no, Denmark and Greenland are open to a mineral agreement with the US, but of course such an agreement should benefit Greenland too. Greenland has not been drilling for oil yet for ecological reasons.

Lie #5: "Nobody would fight against the US over Greenland"

The Truth: Several voices within the danish government and central administration have said, there will be WAR if the US decides to militarily acquire Greenland. Denmark cannot defend Greenland against the US, but it will not allow the Trump administration to annex danish territory for free. Danish soldiers WILL shoot at american soldiers. Both Sweden and France have offered to put military on Greenland, so potentially a conflict can escalate to a fight between the US and the rest of NATO.

All in all, to be 100 % clear - Trump wants Greenland, not for National security reason, not even for access to resources, but because his ego demands that he expands US territory. 

He said so himself in a recent interview:

"Ownership is very important."

"Because that's what I feel is psychologically needed for success."

https://www.rte.ie/news/analysis-and-comment/2026/0109/1552383-greenland-trump-analysis/

The children of Greenland can now not sleep at night, because they fear what will happen to their country 😡 

Whilst In agree with most points, I really doubt there would be war between US and Europe if US takes Greenland. It will definitely be the end of transatlantic relationships. The strategic position US gains in Greenland, but it loses basically all of Europe.

The bases in Europe are vital for a US airlift in foreign territories. The US bases in Europe made the Middle East invasions a smooth process.

Europe can't however deal further military damage to US. It would also be near impossible for US to invade and hold big parts of Europe.

Elon Musk “Why is the U.K. government so fascist?” in response to the investigation launched regarding Elon Musk's technology which allows creepy pedophiles to take any pictures on the Internet they find of your kids and "de-clothe" them.

It doesn't seem like anyone in MAGA has much outrage against pedophilia anymore now that their own elites have been exposed as pedophiles and/or are outright defending it.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
