Gaza… Soaked in Rain, as It Was in Blood Today, Gaza drowned once again—this time in rain. Fragile tents collapsed under storms that followed months of bombardment and destruction. Children, women, and men were left with no shelter, no warmth, and no safety. What war did not finish, the storm tried to complete. Soaked bedding, flooded tents, cold biting into children who have barely recovered from the terror of airstrikes. Gaza’s children drowned twice today: Once in the rain inside their tents, And once in the silence of a world that watched—and did nothing. Yet Gaza still stands. Wounded, flooded, exhausted—yet unbroken. It does not wait for miracles… It waits for a conscience.

In the sea of people we are after all but a drop in the ocean, and we can administer only when we express correctly what the people are conscious of. Unless we do this the Communist Party will not lead the proletariat, the proletariat will not lead the masses, and the whole machine will collapse. Lenin - Speech at the XI Congress of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) - 1922

Venezuela has been open to partnering with U.S. companies like Chevron for years. The terms are simple. Foreign companies operate as minority partners. They pay royalties and taxes. Ownership stays with the Venezuelan state. PDVSA controls the flows. State decides where the revenue goes. The problem is not commercial; win-win arrangements are easy. The problem is political. A confluence of U.S. actors focused on way more than the day-to-day margins from oil sales—but control over oil flows, control over ownership structures, control over the collateral that underpins the entire Western financial architecture. These actors operate on longer time horizons than quarterly earnings. They seek to eliminate every model of resource sovereignty before it spreads. To maintain dollar-denominated energy markets. To ensure the largest reserves in the Western Hemisphere serve U.S. strategic interests—not China's. The irony: when sanctions block U.S. companies, 90% of PDVSA's cargoes go to China anyway. These gangsters have been taking down, or trying to take down, every country with a nationalized oil sector that pursues an agenda independent from Wall Street and its oil banks. Iraq. Libya. Syria. Iran. Russia. Venezuela. It's a hitlist of competitors. The pattern is the policy.

I am not, of course, a fan of George W Bush, but he had a few quotable quotes. One that I have lived by is the following: “I have made a career of being underestimated.” Those who have underestimated me, have done so at their peril.

The banana empire "Chiquita" massacred up to 2000 striking Colombian banana pickers on this day in 1928. But the bloodbath is just one chapter in Chiquita's long, bloodstained history. 🧵
