Watershed moment, BTW. Far-left terrorists (and I mean legit terrorists, not the frivolous label applied to everything) are going to be watching how the RW ecosphere reacts to this. And personally, I'm not about to grant any leeway to those who would gladly run me over too. What really happened here? I don't know and I don't care. I have enough information to make decisions. Train hard, get serious, and recognize that a lot of rather gritty things are going to be required to get this ship back on track.

Okay here's the thing—no matter how much you disapprove of the guy, no matter how much you dislike him, which I do, you have to admit to yourself that having someone with that level of cachet, that level of swagger, that level of panache, that level of je ne sais quoi, that level of savoir-faire, that level of... you know, that level of X factor—we call it in the sales business—having the eye of someone like that on you, and you're his top guy? That's crazy. Hey, you know what? I wish they would time travel back to before he was born and take him out. That's what I wish happened. But look—notorious figures throughout history. Dracula, right? Count Chocula. You got all the bad guys in history, the whole lineup. Frankenstein. What if Frankenstein was looking at you saying "Hey, you are my go-to guy. You're my guy that I go to when I need a problem solved." What if Hitler was saying that to you? Can you imagine that for a second? What if Adolf Hitler said "You're such a physical beast, dude. You're such a nasty physical beast right now, bro, that I'm basically gonna make you in charge of a platoon of Panzers. You're basically so honked up and shredded that I have no choice but to make you a legend in Nazi Germany." I would say to myself, "Man... this Hitler guy is up to no good. I hate this. I can't take any more of this. What am I gonna do? I'm Hitler's top guy. What am I gonna do? Adolf Hitler chose me to lead the revolution." I'm an alpha male, okay? I dominate a lot of people daily. People I work with—I dominate them. I absolutely dominate the people at my office. With my physical presence, with my smell, my pheromones, the way I talk, my eye contact, my hand motions, my body language. I dominate daily. Even the women—I dominate the women in my workplace. I use a combination of lies, manipulation, cheating, stealing, gaslighting, bullying, insulting, and flexing to make sure that everybody in my office stays under my thumb where I want them. You cannot say no to somebody in that position. Like Hitler. Or like Alexander the Great, if you want someone that did less bad things. Wow. If Alexander the Great tells you you're his top guy? You're his top guy. You're now in a position where you have no choice but to go "Oh... I'm the Alexander the Great top guy, dude." Even if Tom Cruise was Jewish and had ancestors in Auschwitz, and you were injecting him with testosterone and gorilla steroids to make him the most alpha male possible—if Adolf Hitler locked his attention beams on Tom Cruise and said "Tom, you're now my top guy," there's no way to resist that. "Well... Adolf Hitler needs me. Okay. I'll do it. I'm going to bat for you, Hitler. I got your back, Hitler."

//The Wire//2300Z January 6, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: TENSIONS REMAIN HIGH IN VENEZUELA, FALSE-ALARM RESULTED IN MASS GUNFIRE LAST NIGHT IN CARACAS. POWER OUTAGE IN BERLIN CONTINUES.//  -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Venezuela: Overnight significant gunfire was reported throughout Caracas as Venezuelan forces reacted to the detection of a drone near the Presidential Palace compound. After some time, the gunfire died down as it became clear that anti-aircraft units were spooked by one of their own drones. Analyst Comment: Clearly the AAA gun batteries the Venezuelans have set up are a bit touchy at the moment, which is most clearly illustrated by them shooting enough rounds into the night sky to equal the GDP of Burundi. Nevertheless, now is a suboptimal time for both migratory birds and absconding Generals, as anything with wings is liable to be shot at over Caracas. Germany: The power outages continue for roughly 45,000 customers throughout Berlin, following the terrorist attack conducted by the Vulkangruppe insurgent group on Saturday. Most customers are coming back online as repairs are being made, however it's been slow going due to the single-point-of-failure attack site causing issues further down the line. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: Due to the length of the power outage, combined with the extremely cold temperatures, many complications have come about. Sewage pumping stations being offline for this many days has resulted in waste backflowing downhill into many people's homes. Retirement centers and senior care facilities, both holding the elderly, have been trying to do their best to manage with the scale of the attack. Hospitals and other public services have been running on generator power for some time, however this has been challenging to maintain over such a long period of time. Attacks like this becoming more common (or at least continuing as they have in the past) is crucial to remember; insurgent groups will strike when maximum effectiveness can be achieved, which often times coincides with bad weather or other incidents.

@ArmchairW c o p e

Amid the increasingly megalomaniacal chest-thumping coming out of the Trump Administration, one wonders what message our adversaries actually took from the Maduro raid. Would they have any reason to actually be intimidated by the show of force on display? Let's examine it.⬇️ 1. As an initial matter, systematic connivance by the Venezuelan military occurred. Soldiers were told to stand down despite a state of armed conflict existing between the United States and Venezuela at the time due to Trump's declaration of a blockade. The fact of Trump Administration negotiations and agreements with Maduro's successors is now being openly discussed in the Western press. 2. The US military could not rely entirely on whatever agreement we had with the Venezuelan military to protect the assault force; to do so would be suicidally naive. We had to come and get him and some level of resistance was going to occur. An actual air assault would be conducted; air defenses would have to be suppressed regardless of whether they would activate or not. So how well did America's finest special operations task force perform? 3. SEAD was ineffective. Any observer of the Ukrainian War knows that AD batteries blow up in a very distinctive way and the spectacular fireworks show tends to show up on video; only one appears to have been struck and destroyed, and that far down the coast from Caracas. A couple additional individual launchers in Caracas have been spotted burned out, but they seem to have been nonfunctional examples left static for months. A large number of bombs and missiles seem to have thrashed empty jungle hillsides around Caracas with no secondaries or fires observed. 4. A handful of static military bases or effectively static military targets such as docked ships were bombed. This isn't impressive, anyone with an air force can do static targeting. 5. The air assault itself was conducted in a dense gaggle of helicopters flying several hundred feet above ground level and brightly illuminated by city lights below and a full moon above, with little attempt to use terrain masking or to confuse defenders with multiple avenues of approach or false insertions. Even determined infantry gunfire would have defeated the attack and did in fact defeat a clumsy attempt at a helicopter deep raid by a far more formidable force of Apaches in Karbala in 2003. 6. The modest resistance faced by the assault force (light small arms fire and one recorded MANPAD launch by Venezuelan troops who hadn't gotten the memo) was dealt with by attack helicopters firing unguided rockets and cannons at point-blank range. Nothing about this is technically impressive, and an aircraft was apparently damaged and limped home regardless. 7. Once actually on the ground, Delta operators seem to have very quickly and efficiently neutralized any resistance and secured Maduro and his wife. This appears to have been the most technically competent part of the entire operation. 8. Critically, extraction of the assault force appears to have been unopposed, possibly to an even greater degree than the insertion was. The air defenses never "woke up" and began firing en masse after being disturbed. Venezuelan fighters did not scramble and only arrived over Caracas after the assault force was long gone. 9. Venezuelan casualties were quite light considering the amount of ordnance flying in, with 80 killed reported at the moment - many apparently civilians. Which brings me back to my original question - was this actually the tour de force and show of American military potency the Administration is trumpeting it as? Clearly not. In fact it demonstrates that the US military remains stuck in the War on Terror era. This was a night raid straight out of Afghanistan with an escort plan straight out of Syria and a clumsy high-end SEAD effort tacked on. We got very good at kicking in doors and bagging and tagging HVTs during the GWOT - dynamic targeting of conventional enemy forces and air ops in a SHORAD-saturated environment, not so much. Now of course one could argue that our SEAD effort was in fact very effective, but given the lack of even small-arms fire and the extraordinarily delayed response it's quite clear there was a lot more going on than just some handy work with HARMs. If this operation was actually done "raw," the Venezuelan military is so cowardly and incompetent as to make the Baathist Arabs (name one of many failed regimes) look like paragons of military efficiency. The bottom line is that it's likely this would have turned into a fiasco with considerable casualties had the main enemy force not been politically neutralized. Our enemies aren't stupid, their armed forces are full of military professionals, many of them with far more and more relevant combat experience than us, and they're drawing appropriate conclusions in private.

//The Wire//2300Z January 5, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: USA TAKES CONTROL OF VENEZUELA, EFFORTS TO EMPLACE TRANSITIONAL GOVERNMENT CONTINUE. SOMALI FRAUD SCANDAL SPREADS NATIONWIDE. ECOTERRORISTS SET FIRE TO BRIDGE IN BERLIN RESULTING IN ELECTRICAL BLACKOUTS.//  -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Germany: Over the weekend insurgents conducted a sabotage operation in Berlin, which targeted electrical infrastructure. The far-left terrorist group Vulkangruppe claimed credit for the attack that took the form of arson attacks on electrical pylons carrying power to much of southwest Berlin. The main attack took the form of arsonists setting fire to a bridge carrying electrical cables across the canal to the west of the power plant in Lichterfelde. Analyst Comment: This attack was coordinated and timed to coincide with a cold snap that brought extremely cold weather throughout the region. The insurgents were trying to cause as much harm as possible, so they conducted the attack at a time when they knew that cold-weather casualties would be maximized. Local officials have stated that it might be as late as Thursday before repairs can be fully completed, due to the severity of the attack. -HomeFront- Minnesota: The Somali Fraud saga continues as dozens of independent investigations and lines of analytical effort result in even more fraud coming to light by the hour. This afternoon, Governor Tim Walz made the announcement that he is dropping out of the gubernatorial race due to the scandal. Analyst Comment: Minnesota is no longer the only state in which major investigative efforts are underway. After the initial story broke in Minneapolis, others started looking around in their areas, only to find exactly the same kind of fraud...wholesale theft of taxpayer money, laundered through nonexistent daycares and other welfare programs. There are currently reports of widespread Somali fraud in Washington, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Idaho, Ohio, and Maine. Additional fraud activities are also being investigated in most other states, not just within the Somali community. Ohio: Overnight a security incident was reported at the home of VP Vance. One assailant, who has been identified as William DeFoor, was able to get close enough to Vance's residence to break one of the exterior windows with a hammer, before being detained and arrested. Analyst Comment: Considering the extreme threats to key leaders within in the US at this time, this reaction was probably expected. However, this incident was too close for comfort. One lunatic with a hammer getting this close proves that a terrorist with an S-Vest could get just as close, and the outcome would be very different. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: In Venezuela, the situation right now is still very dynamic. Though the American operation to capture Maduro was a one-time mission, the situation has not over yet. Maduro is out of the fight, but right now the United States has, in effect, taken control of Venezuela. Maduro's allies, Generals, and decades of infrastructure (and criminal enterprise) does not simply evaporate overnight, and the removal of the head of the snake doesn't mean that the body doesn't also exist. In many ways it's business as usual in Venezuela, and in other ways significant changes are underway. President Trump has stated that the short term goal is to run Venezuela for a time, installing a puppet government until a transition to a more stable government can take place. Whether or not this will happen can be debated, but this is the plan for now. Regarding Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricant (POL) facilities, President Trump stated that American oil companies will be running Venezuela's oil industry (and exporting that oil back to the United States). Concerning additional strikes, President Trump stated that a wider conflict may be necessary, but has alluded to the raid to snatch Maduro being a one-and-done operation for now. American presence in the region is still staggering, as it has been for many months, so if things pop off domestically in Venezuela (or if operations expand to other South American nations), the United States has enough resources in theater to handle any resistance groups that may pop up now that a very substantial destabilization operation has reached it's zenith in Venezuela. On that front, the story of Maduro's generals (and his government at large) is less clear. Obviously, his opposition is working to set up shop to control all domestic agencies and organziations throughout the nation. On the military front, the situation varies; most regular forces (such as the uniformed infantry, marines, etc.) have either fled or are carrying on as usual, so it's a mixed bag. Right now, it is only the irregular forces which have shown concern that their boss was given an all-expenses-paid red eye flight to New York. The Colectivos, the armed civilian militias which mostly served as Maduro's strongarm in the cities, have shown the most loyalty to their departed leader, and have activated themselves throughout Caracas to kidnap/kill anybody who they think were informants for the operation, but so far these efforts have been confined to roving bands of thugs rather than any sort of serious uprising. The more organized paramilitary organizations haven't been interested in any more serious uprising efforts either, however these will be the groups to keep an eye on if things get squirrely over the next few months. The Bolivarian National Militia is a step above the street thugs of the Colectivos because they have more training and slightly more organization than unorganized gangs, but their leadership appears to be engaging in the timeless third-world tradition of absconding with duffel bags full of cash the very moment their boss gets yanked. The Special Action Forces (FAES, also generally known as the secret police kill squads) also haven't been heard from in a while. Speculating a bit, it would make sense for many FAES members to quietly disappear into the night...these guys were responsible for many brutal killings and doing Maduro's dirty work, so it's very likely they would be hanged at some point now that Maduro is gone. Varying stories have been reported at the higher ranks of the more traditionally-uniformed military services in Venezuela...most Generals have stayed in power for now and are simply trying to figure out what to do next. Clearly, the American CIA has a very large presence in Venezuela, and have already lined up Maduro's successors. Amongst the Venezuelans, they are also probably trying to figure out which of them the CIA has picked to still have a job in a week's time, and which of them is due a black bag over the head. In South America, a LinkedIn rejection email might arrive in an unmarked van, so the leadership which hasn't already fled is probably waiting to see how all of this works out. Venezuela will have to be run by Venezuelans, so many probably think that there will always be a deal to be made. It's Monday, Venezuela just started a whole new week. And it's very likely that this week will be filled with a lot of changes down south. Most people within the US government who would have had the real-world experience of toppling a South American nation has either died or retired by now, so only time will tell if this traditional American pastime will work out in the long run.

Bad things happening to bad people is a basic requirement for society to function. Maduro was a bad dude, and no pity or sorrow will be extended to him. But it's also a tough time in the homeland. Americans are hurting. Very daring raids such as this one are impressive, but it's hard not to imagine what could have been done if this much dedication was applied to the homeland. The very lives of people who have been trying to provide capabilities to stop the far-left madness, are at risk if we do not close the gap by 2028. I make maps and PowerPoints, but even people as unimportant as me will be targeted ruthlessly if we don't dedicate every single resource to saving civilization in the homeland before it's too late. If we think it's bad now, just wait. For the billionaires of the world, it's money that's on the chopping block. For the people at the bottom, our own necks that are on the line. We cannot forget this. 25% of President Trump's term has already passed. 2028 is not a guarantee for anybody. Don't get complacent, and do the best you can.

//The Wire//2300Z December 19, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: BROWN UNIVERSITY SHOOTER ALLEGEDLY FOUND DEAD AFTER BRIEF MANHUNT. STABBING ATTACK STRIKES TAIWAN. NEW YEARS CELEBRATIONS CANCELED IN MANY NATIONS WORLDWIDE DUE TO TERRORISM CONCERNS.//  -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----   -International Events- Global: Several nations have canceled or reduced their New Year's celebration events for many major cities. Paris, Hong Kong, Venice, Belgrade, and Tokyo have all canceled fireworks, concerts, and public gatherings due to terrorism concerns. Taiwan: This afternoon a complex terror attack was captured on video in downtown Taipei. One assailant began the initial phase of the attack by throwing a smoke grenade into the MRT Taipei Main Station (the central subway station in Taipei). During this initial incident, at least one citizen attempted to stop the attacker, however after a scuffle the citizen had either a medical emergency or sustained blunt force trauma (reports vary), and later died at a hospital. A few minutes after the attack began, it became clear that this initial incident was a diversion, and that the main attack was to be conducted at the Zhonshan Station a few blocks to the north. At some point after the first smoke grenade incident, the attacker moved to the second attack site and began stabbing people on the street right outside the Zhonshan Station subway entrance. The assailant also attempted to ignite a large incendiary device at some point during the attack, which was comprised of a bag full of Molotovs. Concerning casualties, 3x people were killed during the stabbing phase of the attack, and 9x others wounded. Eventually, the attacker took his own life by jumping from a high rise building during a foot pursuit by police, though the details of exactly how this happened remain unknown at the moment. The assailant was later identified as Chang Wen, however no details were provided regarding his motive for the attack. Australia: All seven of the suspects arrested during yesterdays counterterrorism investigation have been released from detention, even the suspects who were reportedly on terrorism watchlists. Authorities state that there was no reason to hold them, so they let them go. Analyst Comment: Analytically speaking, it's not usually a good idea to theorize just on gut instinct that a terror attack will take place, however if there ever were to be a time for such it would be right now. The intelligence value of letting known terrorists escape (so as to reveal the location of their buddies) seems like a good idea at first. However, the value of this investigative technique is negligible when the terrorist cell has reached the final stages of attack planning and have moved into the operational phase. By the time a group of terrorists are maneuvering into the objective area to obtain their weapons before an attack, the other cells have usually already cut contact for security reasons. These guys now know that they are being watched, and the element of surprise is gone at the same time they are walking free. -HomeFront- Rhode Island: Yesterday evening the Brown University shooter was identified by authorities as Claudio Neves Valente, a Portuguese national who was a former student of Brown University. Authorities state he committed the shooting at the Barus and Holley engineering building, before egressing to Boston. At some point during this trip, he is claimed to have swapped the license plates on his vehicle to evade detection. Once in Boston, he is suspected of murdering MIT professor Loureiro, whom he had worked with in back in Portugal some years ago. Last night Valente was allegedly discovered deceased in a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: Regarding the Brown University shooting, many details still remain to be ironed out. Most of the details are sketchy at best, and authorities are still withholding a lot of information. None of the witnesses who were in the room of the shooting have come forward with information either, an interesting observance that departs from nearly all prior mass shooting cases. Otherwise nobody with two brain cells to rub together believes the Providence Police department or the FBI after fumbling the case this hard. While the FBI was out kicking snow and explicitly telling us that there was no further threat to the public, the killer was quite literally driving a rental car to Boston to murder his former colleague. Or at least, that's the conclusion that can be reached using the official, government-approved version of the story. Considering the lack of trust in that official story, it will be some time before even the very basic details of these cases become supported to the point of being believable.

Don't fall in that trap, -datacarriersize is completely broken in the upcoming core v30. -datacarriersize=83 in v29.1 ≠ -datacarriersize=83 in v30 Worth also mentioning that -datacarriersize still doesn't apply to inscription in core.

CryptoKitty Gloria risks bitcoin as freedom money, while @adam3us supports a second bailout of Core developers? Better run @BitcoinKnots

@adam3us @leo_haf code it better nerd

@leo_haf datacarrier is not broken, you've read some misinformation. there are differing views from sensible people with technical understanding of what parameter is better. there are side-effects to consider also. enabling users to set their preference is a reasonable approach.

This looks like damage control. After that Core developers will be able to say, "Look, we have listened to you, and you can still configure datacarrier." In the meantime, the default is still outrageously high and -datacarrier is still broken.
