I've just come back from #Venezuela πŸ‡»πŸ‡ͺ where I spent 2.5 weeks, witnessing the run-up to the presidential vote, and what was arguably the most outrageous election steal in the modern history of Latin America.

I'll share some thoughts below 🧡 Image
First off before going into the political situation I just wanted to stress how great it was to be reminded how easy it is to fall in love with Caracas, and how amazing the Venezuelan people are.

Someone I'd met briefly 7 years ago, would greet me again as if we were family.

I was never big about celebrating my birthday, so I figured I'll just arrive in Venezuela that day, do some work and let the day pass quietly, no big deal.

Well that wouldn't fly when I told my Venezuelan friends there. They insisted on celebrating, and even brought friends. Image

I just came back a trip around the resistance territories of southern Karenni state (Myanmar).

During my time I went to the frontlines, visited IDP camps in the jungles, stayed the night at an abandoned junta base, met resistance fighters, refugees and community leaders.

🧡:

Karenni state (also known as Kayah state) as around the size of Qatar, which makes it the smallest of Myanmar's different states and regions.

Yet because of its proximity to the capital Naypyidaw (120 km) it is still a very strategic region.
Image
Image
After three years of anti-coup resistance and armed struggle around 90% of Karenni is under resistance control.

Karenni is divided into 7 townships: Loikaw (capital), Demoso, Hpruso, Bawlakhe, Hpasawng, Shadaw, Mese.

Strong indication from this Fox News report that the IDF is moving guns around in order to "proof" that Hamas was using al-Shifa hospital.

IDF video claims that "minutes ago" they found a single gun behind the MRI machine, same spot in the FOX report: two guns were added.



Image

Image

Seriously watch the original IDF video (re-uploaded minutes ago). At 1:48 the IDF spokesman literally said they found a single gun "just minutes ago", same room as where @TreyYingst walks through in his report. Yet Trey's report shows two extra guns placed in the exact spot
Although it doesn't disprove that the guns are from Hamas or that there are any guns in the hospital. It is a very clear sign that the IDF is moving guns around the hospital and places them in suspicious locations.

This puts everything they show about the hospital into question.
