Geopolitics: Gold, Bitcoin & Empire

Mighty empires — Alexander, Mughals, British, French, Dutch — had their Ego shattered on Indian soil. India endured, today stands strong & thriving. Team Trump is itching to meet its fate, India awaits with a smile! Welcome!! x.com/arunpudur/stat…

@CodfishJohnny @HindenburgRes Hindenburg shut down operations, and bankrupt. Adani is doing business with many countries. West is the Sinkhole of morality and humanity - have you read Epstein file yet? Now sinking in debt. That $45 Trillions will have to be returned with interest - Karma, its coming

Does anyone remember @HindenburgRes taking on Adani? Guess what - they were right. Surprise, I know. India is just the most well-developed third world nation, an absolute sinkhole of manipulation and corruption. occrp.org/en/investigati…

@JacobKinge @vonderleyen West looted Indian Gold pot for 1000 years, stole their wealth. Now you dont want them to work hard and pay your taxes? You guys are so funny!! Karma always comes back!! Deny as much as you wish, its just and Brutal

Letting India into Europe will be the biggest disaster in its entire history. We’ve already seen the consequences in places like Canada, the UK, and Australia: strained housing, pressure on public services, declining social cohesion, and political polarization. If Europe repeats these mistakes at scale, the long-term damage will be irreversible. Wake up!

Long live India. Long live the friendship between Europe and India. 🇪🇺🇮🇳

@Gayathrishet1 @JIX5A How many Indian men are sitting on Nobel committee?

@JIX5A Leave west, even now Indian society is dominated by men only. Yes some feminism has risen but majority men opinion only endorsed.

Female Indian Physicist Denied Nobel: Bibha Chowdhuri’s Discovery Taken, Credit Given to Another. In 1940, Indian physicist Bibha Chowdhuri hauled photographic plates up the Himalayas, captured clear tracks of new subatomic particles (mesons/pions), measured their mass, and published in Nature. Her discovery. Her work. 7 years later, Cecil Powell repeated her exact experiment with better (post-war) emulsions, saw the same particles and won the 1950 Nobel Prize in Physics. He got the glory. She got forgotten. Because she was a woman. Because she was Indian. Because colonial science steals credit and calls it “improvement”. Bibha Chowdhuri’s brilliance wasn’t overlooked, it was stolen.

@DrJStrategy Remember China?

Unlike Europe, the US will not outsource national security. 👇

@TheMichaelEvery $$$ hubris!! Its Dead, China is already lining up the supply lines.

And the U.S. is of course *powerless* to then escalate against a Europe needing US consumers, arms, NATO, LNG, tech, and Eurodollars, etc.

@JacobKinge @Polymarket Can USA and Israel try the same on NK? Got it, we know why they are lame duck on NK!!

@Polymarket u hear dat usa and israel??? they shut the air spaces down!!! they said ur not allowed in!!!! As if that's going to stop anyone. 🤣

BREAKING: Iran closes its airspace again. Neither civilian nor military aircraft are allowed to enter the country without permission.

@JacobKinge Is it not better than bombing the world indiscriminately to promote the democracy? That guys is showing the tech, go learn it, and stop destroying the world

Scammers in India have now invented an AI tool that creates hyper-realistic OnlyFans models indistinguishable from real people.

@USAWatchdog Golden age of Pillage & Plunder. There's nothing more profitable and satisfying than stealing someone else's oil, silver and gold. Just ask George Bush. US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today.

Cash Cut-Off Has Globalist Deep State Panicking – Alex Newman “Venezuela was the cash cow that was funding this entire subversive movement through drugs and oil. Donald Trump, in one fell swoop, took out that massive piece of their architecture." usawatchdog.com/cash-cut-off-h…

Time have changed - Coiners are running after the shiny rocks!!

@TFTC21 Remove Gold Export and it will explode back again. Its all about Gold for those who know. Trump is just a tool for inflation. Enjoy the show.

Trump just cut the trade deficit in half. Down to $29.4 billion from $136 billion in March.

@_SamDuval @RnaudBertrand Golden age of Pillage & Plunder. There's nothing more profitable and satisfying than stealing someone else's oil, silver and gold. Just ask George Bush. US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today.

I typically don't like to be alarmist but any student of history would tell you: all the lights are blinking scarlet red. I mean: - Massive military expansion: check (see below) - Annexation threats: check - Demonstrated willingness to use force unilaterally: check - New imperial doctrine proclaimed: check - Withdrawal from international organizations and international treaties: check At this stage we're not even watching warning signs anymore. We're watching the thing itself, in motion. The only way the world stops this train is to put differences aside and form a balancing coalition. Otherwise the dominos will keep falling one after the other. Hope of self-restraint of a rogue great power isn't historically a very successful strategy. Self-restraint requires either institutions (now being exited) or norms (now being shredded). The only thing that can bring it back is fear of consequences.

@profstonge British also justified the plunder & pillage for 200 years!! Finally sinking in a miserable state. Karma has consequences. USA plunder will not last for 2 years, watch the fun in the VZ streets soon

Maduro was installed by a dictator, lost 3 elections, and was protected by Cuban military. At some point it's not a legitimate government.

@profstonge Golden age of Pillage & Plunder?? most of the times you make sense...but slowly starting justifying the looting by empire, sint it? Good luck, every action has consequences. Militia is already on the VZ streets, whatever WSJ may try to tell you otherwise, good luck

@GSpier @SizweLo Remember Vietnam and Afghanistan?

The colectivos and whoever is left in Venezuela have two choices: Cooperate with the USA or FAFO: F**k Around and Find Out. If they choose FAFO, the US has a second wave of strikes locked, loaded and ready to go. And plenty more. So it would be wise for the colectivos etc to stop shooting and start talking. I think they will talk. The Iranians, the Chinese and the Russians have overplayed their hand. It is way too far for them to project power. And the locals - they just want to make money and get along. They will have a much easier time making money and getting along with the USA than with China and friends.

Donald Trump announced that his Secretary of War will “run” Venezuela until the United States can carry out what he calls a “safe, proper and judicious transition.” This is not happening. As of right now, Venezuela’s militias, specifically the Bolivarian Militia and the urban paramilitary networks known as colectivos, have not backed down. Far from allowing America’s Secretary of War and a US-appointed “group” to run the country, they have become the primary agents of what is rapidly evolving into a chaotic and dangerous resistance. Since the abduction of Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Caracas has effectively become a ghost town. Citizens are skipping work, businesses are shuttered, and people are staying indoors because of the colectivos. The leftist paramilitaries are now the most visible armed presence in the capital. While Delta Force and US air assets achieved overwhelming tactical dominance during the brief raid that removed Maduro, they have not established persistent control over residential neighbourhoods. That vacuum has been filled locally, block by block. The colectivos have also reframed the conflict. What might once have been portrayed as a struggle to defend Maduro has now been recast as a “decolonial war” against US occupation. This narrative shift matters. It transforms the struggle from regime defence into national resistance, and it makes the colectivos the main obstacle to the “security” Washington claims it intends to provide. Despite US assertions that Venezuela’s military was “incapacitated,” Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino López appeared on national television alongside Vice President Delcy Rodríguez to declare that the armed forces and militias remain loyal to the Bolivarian Revolution. Whether or not this reflects unified command is beside the point; it signals continuity, defiance, and an intent to resist. America’s Secretary of War has insisted that “President Trump sets the terms.” In practice, those terms are already being rewritten by asymmetric warfare. This is not a promising start. According to the Robert Lansing Institute, if the United States limits itself to air power and special operations while leaving Venezuelans to manage the transition, insurgency is likely to emerge not as classic guerrilla warfare against US troops, but as urban unrest, terrorism, and targeted attacks on perceived collaborators. Conversely, Lansing warns that a large and prolonged US troop presence would almost certainly catalyse a broader, more organised armed resistance. Either path is bleak. Trump has initiated a process he cannot easily reverse, and there is no clean off-ramp for him or his war secretary. Over the next six to twelve months, the most probable pattern is episodic violence: bombings, armed clashes in pro-Chavista strongholds, targeted assassinations, and cartel-linked criminal activity exploiting the breakdown in authority. The so-called “Iraq model” becomes increasingly likely the longer the US maintains a visible, large-scale military presence on Venezuelan soil. If Washington truly intends to “run” Venezuela until a transition can be engineered, it will require, and likely lose, a significant number of soldiers. The contradiction is clearest around oil. While US officials talk openly about rebuilding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure, militias and loyalist military units are expected to target those facilities to prevent the foreign plunder. This dynamic is already visible in the Orinoco Belt, which accounts for roughly two-thirds of Venezuela’s oil production. The United States may control ports and terminals, but militias control pipelines and territory. Production is in freefall. Trump has promised to sell “large amounts of oil.” For now, that promise is being blocked by asymmetric warfare, the very phenomenon US officials publicly acknowledge while underestimating its consequences. In short, the United States may “run” oil terminals and fortified government buildings, but Venezuela’s militias run the streets and much of the rural heartland. What Trump and his handlers face a law-enforcement nightmare in which every urban block risks becoming a bloody battle zone. And by every available indicator, that nightmare has already begun.

@cavani_the2nd @SizweLo moron!!

@SizweLo You using x , you already submit to America

@elonmusk Long overdue prosperity like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Middle east??? Golden age of Plunder and Pillage - Return of the Exceptionalism!!

Long overdue prosperity is coming for the people of Venezuela

@TFTC21 @sjkokinda empire's plunder

Venezuela isn’t just a drug route, it’s a key node in the global financial underworld. "One of the key transit points for a lot of this dirty money going back to the '70s and '80s and so on has been Britain's offshore Caribbean islands." - @sjkokinda

@vonbrauckmann @elonmusk @SpaceX Elon @elonmusk is from the western world. Has zero clue about what is inside him….going to stars to find consciousness 🙂

@elonmusk @SpaceX The stars and humans are an appearance in Consciousness. Consciousness doesn't need help expanding. All matter is made from and appears in Consciousness.

The goal of @SpaceX is expansion of consciousness to the stars so that we may understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the Universe

@thoughts4good14 Hello, India has largest consumer market - and has Modi as leader - not a crappy Nobel-peace-prise war monger "Amerika is exceptional" Trump. Time to pay for the geopolitical arrogance of 70 years.

Shocker
