The news cycle is a confusing space sometimes;

Eg1.
- #ElectricCars are the future for the planet
V's
- Mining #Lithium batteries is destroying parts of Bolivia/Chile/Argentina

2.
- Decentralised #Cryptocurrencies are the future
V's
- Mining #Bitcoin = huge energy consumption

The narrative around everything nowadays is all about #Values

Corporates latch onto every opportunity

Individuals the same (just read some of the stuff on LinkedIn) 🧐

Life & business is essentially a game
#Winning is always key! (Be nice tho)

The rest is Perception=Reality

I'm a #football fan & I see a footy angle in almost everything I read! 🧐

Not sure if these connections stand up, but here's what I saw;

- #Bolivia former President #EvoMorales was ousted in 2019. Evo a #SimonBolivar anti-imperialist styled leader

⤵️

- progressive.international/wire/2021-03-1…

That article by the #progressive news agency is 🤯 ⤴️
(I don't know if it's 'sexed up' for their angle... BUT appears credible)

In the article it talks about #Darktrace efforts to assist in #Bolivia
#WhiteGold

Darktrace is (in effect) a #MikeLynch co.
theguardian.com/business/2020/…

Autonomy were the corporate sponsor/partner of Super Savvy #Spurs

Mike Lynch has done business with #DanielLevy & #JoeLewis - All very successful chaps made tonnes of money! 👏💰

As with any large fortune, there's always a whiff of scandal/suspicion (warranted/unwarranted 🤷‍♂️)?

Lynch is facing charges - #HP in the #US say there's huge fraud!

#JoeLewis owned #Spurs (#ENIC) with their smart former CEO #DanielLevy have multiple dealings with #MikeLynch ↕️

So what?
They're all smart fellas diversifying & capitalising on opportunities

Money to be made! 💰

Another company #ENIC invested in is part of Warner Bros Studio (🛒🍔)

They have history in this space with Joe's pal, former #Everton director #RobertEarl & his Planet Hollywood.

Earl, Lewis, Tabor, Philip Green - Football Finance connection too 🔁🌴💸

theguardian.com/football/2016/…

Anyway, back to the (possibly spurious - but interesting) connection I saw between #Bolivia #Lithium #WhiteGold #ElectricCars & a race for Natural Resources in this frontier

I might have put these connections together after reading #FredrickForsyth #DogsOfWar or #SimonMann BUT..

#JoeLewis (Owner of #Spurs & #ENIC) is seriously rich!

He's been uber successful - Seems to have amazing contacts.
#GeorgeSoros for a bit of FX trading.
#Coolmoor stud boys for Horse Racing / Betting
etc.

Apparently he's bought large swathes of #Patagonia with his riches 🧐🌎

I mentioned connections;
#Football
#HorseRacing
#Gambling
#FX #Trading

Well, check this ⤵️ for a stellar list!

#Everton #Tottenham #Rangers #Celtic #ManUtd

Networks are important if you want to be successful

So is spotting trends & working with people/orgs of influence!

So, here's my (possibly spurious) conclusion.

Billionaires have been buying up parts of #Patagonia & surrounding areas - Why?

Opportunity? Investing for the future??🏗️🧑‍🚒

Businessmen like to make money.

Nations sometimes assist if #NationalSecurity #StrategicGoals are aligned.

#MikeLynch #Autonomy #Spurs #JoeLewis #Patagonia #Lithium #Darktrace #ElectricCars #future

And for some extra spice;
🇬🇧 🇺🇸 seem to have usurped 🇨🇳 in #Bolivia gaining a foothold in strategically important raw materials.

Could be Genius 👍

Might be stuff of 🎬🕵️‍♀️🕴️💸🤝

🤷‍♂️

I'll just tag this on too for another interesting diversion!

Worlds an odd place right now.

Far right intelligence agents & cops #Jan6Attack 🇺🇸

🇷🇺 playing with the west via their Oligarchs

Stories of 'on the run' Nazi's🤨

@threadreaderapp can you unroll please - Thanks!

There's division & opposing groups everywhere you look around the 🌐 nowadays

Is this a new phenomena brought on by the #Values #Diversity #Identity movements OR contrived by waring factions that have been fighting for a long time?
