The MSM is a weapon of the far-right.

The MSM supports the far-right.

See our posts about it, but we agree to an extent.

Roof of the National Gallery of Art. They’ve got sniper rifles trained on us. Gee, I feel safe now. #NoKings

Our guess is that at least one No Kings protest will be violently suppressed, and that will hopefully be a radicalizing moment for a lot of centrists. If you want to win, you need to get as aggressive as the far-right. Do we have the will to win or not? Do we want a future or not?

If Trump cracks down on No Kings, it will only prove that protests aren't radical enough. He can either accept peaceful demonstrations or watch the opposition get more aggressive.

Protests like No Kings are opportunities to show that the opposition to authoritarianism is alive and well. That's why MAGA desperately doesn't want you to attend, because they want to pretend like there's no opposition left.

There's even a rally in Toronto, which is still ongoing. While these peaceful protests won't do much on their own, they're a good place to meet people and discuss becoming more active. Also, it's always nice to be able to talk to people just like yourself, fighting for a common cause.

If you can, attend your nearest No Kings protest now.

Who knows what could happen to a complacent military fighting an enemy with lots of time to prepare. Incompetent leadership loses wars; just ask the French in 1940.

However, considering how much Trump undermined key institutions like the FDIC, it's possible that a 2023-like spasm could become a big problem. For example, we won't be surprised if bailout funds come late this time, which could lead to outright bank failures in the worst-case scenario.

Meanwhile, bad loan concerns in the private credit markets are becoming a problem for regional American banks. We expect that they will begin failing shortly, but this will probably not be the start of a major financial crisis. We anticipate something more like 2023, which was fairly minor.

Just imagine what it will be like if Trump's war in Venezuela goes like Ukraine. Can you envision the United States getting sanctioned by BRICS? Any attack on the Venezuelan government could go wrong in so many ways.

We predict that Maduro will crack down on the opposition in the near future, meaning that Trump will have fewer allies to work with in Venezuela. The result will be a harder war for the United States, which needs collaborators who can attack Maduro's regime from within.

The upcoming operation against Venezuela will be conducted by the same people who openly talk about unleashing the CIA. I'm sure Maduro appreciated the warning, and he's being given plenty of time to prepare. So, any coup attempt now has a much higher chance of failing.

Does anyone really think the upcoming attack on Venezuela will go well?

He got a lucky break, considering that he can now claim Machado "deserves" to lead Venezuela.

Our assessment is that the Nobel Peace Prize went to the second worst possible candidate, and the one likeliest to celebrate the start of a major war. We're about to see how peaceful Maria Corina Machado really is.

New Luddite Movement @newludditemovement.bsky.social · 8d

Maria Corina Machado receiving the Nobel Peace Prize makes it easier for Trump to overestimate her support in Venezuela. Of course, that means a war against Venezuela is probably imminent, and it will be for regime change. Also, picking Trump's puppet is little better than giving him the award.

There's a chance Trump might attack tonight too, thinking that his Nobel Peace Prize delusions might throw Venezuela off.

New Luddite Movement @newludditemovement.bsky.social · 9d

After Trump doesn't win the Nobel Peace Prize, we expect him to start bombing targets inside the country. That operation will likely spiral into a full-scale war, and America will have its Suez Crisis moment.

There's a lot of attention on the boat strikes, understandably so, but beyond that there is an undercurrent of "government in waiting" in the discourse around Machado that is unmistakable to anyone who remembers the names Ahmed Chalabi and Hamid Karzai
