I opened my NYTimes app today. They’re trying, but they can’t keep up. News that broke just hours ago is already off the homepage.

THIS IS CRUCIAL

The entire liberal deep state command and control system is broken. Let me explain 🧵
The NYTimes’ primary function isn’t journalism. It’s narrative coordination—setting the frame so the entire political-media machine knows how to think about an issue before it takes off.

Ever notice how, overnight, everyone starts saying “Biden is sharp as a tack” or “JD Vance is weird”?

It’s not random. It’s a system.
The Narrative Pipeline: How The Blob Operates

The NYTimes, NPR, WaPo, CNN, and the rest don’t just react to news. They function as a distributed, decentralized mission command system for the Democratic Party and the broader Blob.
Step 1: Local Bureau Chiefs – These guys are stationed across the country, watching which stories gain traction and fielding calls from Dem operatives feeding them narratives.

Stories that they need to start controlling
Step 2: New York Editors – Bureau chiefs snip the news and send it to NY, where an editor triages it:
•Will this explode nationwide?
•Will it simmer for days?
•Or should we bury it?
Step 3: Editorial Meeting – The most concerning stories get flagged. Here, editors decide on the narrative framing and who to assign to write it.
But before they assign a journalist, they make one critical call—to the Deep State.

Why? To give the government a head start on controlling the story.

At this point, the Deep State doesn’t just say, “Here’s what happened.”
They strategically select sources based on the tone they want.

•If they need hawkish China rhetoric, they have a “China hardliner” expert on speed dial.
•If they want to downplay a Chinese spy scandal, they go to a “dovish” China expert who will say it’s being blown out of proportion.
•If it’s a military scandal, they pick a “trustworthy” retired general to subtly steer the discussion toward a desired conclusion.

This isn’t journalism—it’s perception warfare.
Once the tone is set, the editor assigns the story and suggests the approved sources to call.

The journalist’s job is simple:
•Get quotes from the right experts.
•Write it up.
•Stick to the approved angles

If something goes wrong with the angle (e.g. a source exposes it as a lie) they return to the editor for “guidance”
Occasionally, a journalist oversteps. If it’s minor, it passes. If it’s major, the editor kills the piece, buries it on page 16, or reassigns it to a more trusted writer to “correct” the framing.

Overstep too many times and your reassigned to local news or gently (it’s not your fault, we LOVE your spark, just downsizing) let go

Do a really good job sticking to the approved script you’ll get awards or book deals and travel assignments

Nobody flatly says “this award isn’t for toeing the party line” because that would expose the scam

No, these journalist are smart. They either pick up on the reward incentives or they are gently pushed aside.
Suddenly, every news outlet, late-night host, and blue check is reinforcing the same message.

And because they aren’t technically taking orders, they think it’s their own independent analysis.

This is why the narrative feels so unified. No one’s forcing compliance—it’s a system that rewards alignment.
Now each individual pundit and blog is allowed to post independently but they all know unconsciously to work the narrative because that’s where the rewards are.

If someone breaks the narrative in a bug way intentionally there are three options:

1) smear campaign to make them toxic
2) ban them from the system (wikipedia blacklist, social media throttle, no DC party invites, no pentagon press pass, etc)
3) turn them into a double agent who claims to buck the narrative but subtly shifts things left (@bariweiss is the ultimate genius at this)
Not all stories emerge organically. Sometimes, the Deep State calls first.
•A senior editor gets a call:
•“Everyone in DC is talking about how weird JD Vance is.”
•The next morning, at the editorial meeting, that becomes:
•“People are saying JD Vance is weird. Let’s get some stories on that.”
•Then every editor repeats it to their reporters:
•“Did you hear JD Vance is weird? Let’s explore that.”
Suddenly, every news outlet, late-night host, and blue check is reinforcing the same message.

And because they aren’t technically taking orders, they think it’s their own independent analysis.

This is why the narrative feels so unified. No one’s forcing compliance—it’s a system that rewards alignment.
The deep state tries its best to play a soft hand.

They let things emerge around the narrative and only step in if the narrative is evolving in a bad way or new information disturbs the narrative
So where does this organic command and control system come from?

Well, the military, of course
Why This Matters: The Mission Command Model

This decentralized coordination mirrors how the best militaries operate—through a doctrine called Mission Command.
A bad general micromanages:
•“Move three platoons and six tanks around this road and attack the base.”

A good general gives flexibility:
•“Take this logistics base by X time. Figure out the best way.”

A great general sets intent:
•“We need to cripple their supply lines. Here’s what we know about their logistics.”

The best commanders set objectives, not orders—then let their officers adapt on the ground.
This is exactly how the NYTimes and the Blob operate.

They don’t give direct orders to every outlet. They set the intent—how the political-media machine should think about an issue.

Then, think tanks, columnists, TV hosts, and activists execute their own variations of the message.
Why Republicans Keep Losing the Narrative War

Republicans don’t have this.
•No clear commander’s intent.
•No unified messaging framework.
•No ecosystem where think tanks, media, and party strategists move in the same direction.

Instead, it’s chaotic, reactive, and uncoordinated.
Meanwhile, Democrats operate like a well-oiled Mission Command system—not because of a single top-down controller, but because every key player understands their role in pushing the message.

And until Republicans build a competing system, they’ll always be playing defense.
BUT TRUMP HAS BROKEN THE DEMS MISSION COMMAND SYSTEM

The famed fighter pilot John Boyd (who literally wrote the manual for top gun)

Came up with the OODA LOOP

amzn.to/4jDBVMB
OODA is a process for making better calculated decisions faster

Observe
Orient
Decide
Act Image
I can’t go into all the details on how the food system works, if you can throw a LOT of information at an enemy

Information of all kinds, including false information

They start to get overloaded

This is what is called THE FOG OF WAR
Now military have been doing fake attacks and fake information and maneuvering around objectives for centuries but what Boyd found is you can’t just overload the enemy system because your troops will also get overloaded with information
What you have to do is MOVE and adapt l.

Thrown out a ton of information then let your officers change frequently

In the field an officer might bypass the logistics base and go for the train rail but then misinformation causes the enemy to abandon the base so the officer will turn around and destroy it

In a fighter jet you might fly straight so the enemy things you have a problem then when he’s on your tail most people would push the throttle… Boyd said it might be better to drop the flops as a break to make the enemy fly right past you

Be unpredictable !
Boyd called this “maneuver warfare” because you’re always maneuvering around the enemy

If you can not only throw out more information, but move a lot faster then your enemy and change tactics on the fly you will “get inside the enemy’s ooda loop” and win easily
This is exactly what TRUMP is doing

The sheer number of stories is absolutely overloading the New York Times app

New York Times editors do not have time to coordinate with the deep state and coax the process

Trump is completely overloading the information distribution system
And he’s not just overloaded the system but he’s moving FAST and adapting tactics

Instance in Panama, he was demanding the canal, but then when he went down, there took a quick win with giving Navy ship’s free transit and kicking China

Then he’s onto Canadian tariffs before the New York Times editors can figure out what the hell happened in Panama

And well before they can develop a narrative for Panama
Boyd didn’t just teach us how to defeat the enemy—he taught us how to recognize when you’re already winning.

The easiest way to tell? The enemy starts making really dumb moves.

They waste ammo shooting into empty forests, convinced you’re still there—when you actually left two days ago. They fly in a senior general to bark orders, trying to reassert control over a situation already spiraling out of their hands.

Sound familiar?

That’s exactly what the Democrats are doing right now. Chuck Schumer is firing off a constant stream of bombastic orders, desperate to override events he can’t control. The media is fixated on asinine distractions—like the price of eggs—while the real war is being fought elsewhere.

When the enemy is losing, they can’t see the forest for the trees.

Take the aid collapse—a massive exposure of corruption. Instead of grasping the real problem, Democrats have tunnel vision, obsessing over physical access to the building rather than the deeper rot it’s exposing.

And when they’re really losing? They go after the general.

Boyd taught us that when an enemy is out of options, they target the figurehead, hoping to break morale. That’s exactly what’s happening with Elon.

But a great general knows the game. Patton famously commanded a full fake army during D-Day, letting the enemy fixate on him while lower-level officers did the real work.

And that’s where we are now. The Democrats are flailing, distracted, and losing control. Meanwhile, the real fight is happening far below their line of sight.
In short the sheer number of stories on the NYTimes app right now, no deep clear narrative, tunnel focus on things that don’t matter, and bombastic attempts by generals like Schumer and AOC…. Whole point to one irrefutable fact.

TRUMP IS LITERALLY RUNNING CIRCLES AROUND THEM
Did Boyd teach us how to defeat masterful maneuver warfare like the kind Trump is executing now?

YES. But…

1️⃣ Maneuver warfare is insanely hard to stop. In any scenario, it’s designed to keep the enemy off balance.

2️⃣ What looks chaotic is actually a well-planned assault. Trump isn’t just making one move at a time—he’s prepped multiple maneuvers for every possible response. If Democrats attack a specific front, he simply drops one plan and picks up another—fully baked, ready to go.

He’s had years to refine this. The Democrats? They’re starting from scratch.

3️⃣ Maneuver warfare isn’t just about the “four-stars” (Elon, JD, Hegseth) or even the “three-stars” (Cabinet Secretaries). The real game is won by the one-stars and two-stars—the undersecretaries, chiefs of staff, and frontline commanders.

And Democrats? They haven’t even begun to focus on the actual battlefield command center—guys like @michaelgwaltz, a literal Green Beret who spent two decades mastering maneuver warfare.

4️⃣ I’m not about to explain how they can win in a Twitter thread.

If Democrats want a shot, they’ll have to start reading John Boyd themselves.

JK OUT
Wow!

A RT from Elon—honored, sir! 🫡 Now, let’s crush MSM. How?

BONUS 1/4 - Independent Media John Boyd Style Image
Bonus 2/4

I learned the NYTimes tricks because I run the small narrowly focused independent maritime news site @gCaptain

Boyd taught us that small, distributed, and specialized units dominate maneuver warfare. Independent news in general is excellent. People like @charliekirk11, @JackPosobiec & @ShawnRyan762 are crucial, but their scope is wide.

We also need specialists who think independently from editors.

We want independent journalists who own their niche. My own publication gCaptain focuses only on shipping & naval ops. @mercoglianos does the same on Youtube.

Drilling down you have @MikeSchuler focused just on ships while people like @cdrsalamander focus just on navies. Or even more specialized @maphumanintent on tariffs and trade.

Big outlets can do this too—@BreitbartNews is solidly right with editorial commander’s intent BUT their military editor, @kristina_wong, is sharp, independent, and excellent at her craft.

Support the specialists. That’s how we win.
Bonus 3/4:

@MikeBenzCyber is the perfect case study in why specialization wins. His focus? Internet censorship—not humanitarian aid. Yet he was the one who exposed USAID corruption because it intersected with his niche. That revelation triggered a chain reaction, pushing other independent journalists to dig deeper.

The New York Times has leaned liberal my entire life, but it was still a great news organization—until it abandoned specialists for generalists in the early 2000s.

In my field—shipping—they used to have dedicated dock reporters who lived and breathed maritime news. Now? Nothing. And it shows.

The BIG difference between specialist and generalist journalists? Sources.

Specialists build deep, trusted networks. Generalists rely on the same recycled “blob” sources and editorial databases—so they never break real news.

Look at me. I’m a ship captain. @gCaptain doesn’t write about media or politics. But watching the NYT bungle maritime stories for years—especially their terrible naval shipbuilding coverage—led me to investigate their process… and eventually write this thread.
Bonus 4/4 - The Blob’s War on Independent Media

But there is a big problem with specialized media: the Blob can’t control it. It also can’t outright delete it. So what does it do? Throttle.

For conservative news specialists, that means smear campaigns. Look at @JackPosobiec—accused of being a Russian agent. This man is a U.S. Navy intelligence officer. Ridiculous. But once you’re on a blacklist, Google and others use it to throttle search results.

But what about conservative specialists without a news platform? They’re harder to attack—so the New York Times just buries them in allegations. Look at @MikeBenzCyber. NYT writes hit pieces, and because their articles dominate Google snippets. Social media sites pull in these snippets snd throttle him

And it’s not just conservatives who get nailed. The Blob throttles anyone it can’t control. @gCaptain is bipartisan—we have more liberal journalists than conservatives like me—yet Wikipedia straight-up deleted my personal page for being “irrelevant” and blacklisted gCaptain for “spamming” (we added facts to Wikipedia maritime articles).

Why does this matter? Because Google can’t keep its own public blacklist (or they’d get sued). But they can use Wikipedia’s blacklist to:
•Throttle our search rankings
•Deny our journalists Twitter Blue checks
•Kill our Facebook reach

gCaptain built 250,000 Facebook subs—then Meta stopped distributing our articles after Wikipedia blacklisted us.

And we’re just one example.

The Blob hates independent media because it can’t control us. It wants newsrooms run by Blob-approved editorial teams. If you have them, you get boosted by academia, think tanks, and Google’s algorithm.

If you don’t? You get blacklisted. Or graylisted. And you get throttled into irrelevance.
Finally—thank goodness for X!

Elon literally saved deep-niche independent journalism by nuking the blue checkmark scam.

Before? We couldn’t get verified by Twitter because Wikipedia blacklisted us. Now? X cut the umbilical cord to the deep state, and independent voices are finally breaking through.

THIS is why X is now packed with incredible threads from top-tier deep niche experts—everyone from esoteric specialists like @gas_biz guy to once-throttled national security journalists like @LeeSmithDC. Heck, you can even get direct insights on the Deep State from former Trump NSC directors like @EzraACohen & @JoshuaSteinman.

Bottom line: You wouldn’t be reading this thread without X.

Thank you, @elonmusk!
@gCaptain @MikeBenzCyber UPDATE: Looks like the NYT called in their top hitman, @ezraklein, to rush out a video countering this narrative.

Right on cue. 🤦‍♂️👇
@supertrucker It’s also the same reason my line can take a hiatus from his businesses for six months to focus on politics

He has great teams all his companies, and only has to check in and provide command intent when something goes off the rails

Here’s the ICE watch training video @camhigby found. Let’s deconstruct the first few minutes.

Lead by Eric Ward, a senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left NGO with nearly a billion-dollar endowment.

His academic work is in “Stochastic terrorism,” which is “using hostile public rhetoric, repeated and amplified across media and communication platforms.”

Literally, his expertise is manipulating minds.

He’s not an expert on peaceful protests. He’s not an operational guy. His background is in psychological warfare.

Participants were told “for their safety” they must “have training,” but this training isn’t about situational awareness, first aid, or practical defense against pepper spray.

It’s, in fact, teaching you how to mentally prepare to escalate violence.

Let’s look at his tactic.

First, a meditation session. Why? To get you “out of your brain” and in “touch with feelings.”

He then explicitly tells everyone to tune out everything but their feelings.

Next… the four thousand people here are being asked to confront armed federal agents.

What is the natural reaction for anyone confronting armed men?

Nervousness. I love the police; my father-in-law was an NYPD officer, but my heart beats faster when I’m pulled over by my local PD.

He’s telling them to listen to that “heat behind the eyes, tremble in your hands,” which is fine, but then he is lying.

He’s telling you to interpret that natural panic when facing authority as moral superiority and your “conscious.”

Next, he has to dehumanize opponents and set the stage for “us vs. them,” but this is tricky because almost every American knows a Republican.

So he says “I want to be clear who they are,” and he gets very specific so the picture of your MAGA uncle or priest doesn’t enter your mind.

Then he states the obvious, which everyone (even MAGA) will agree on:

“Renee Good should be alive.
Alex Pretti should be alive.”

I agree with that statement, but the question is who’s responsible for their deaths.

IMHO, the person most responsible is Eric Ward, but of course, he’s not going to blame himself.

Then he says, “The people who died at the hands of ICE snd border patrol should be alive.”

What people?

He doesn’t say. It’s not about the people; it’s about drawing a straight line from Renee and Alex to ICE.

Then he says,

“Let’s tell the truth.”

Which any kindergartener knows is followed by lies, but his listeners are in a trance from the breathing exercise.

Listen to the sing-song nature of how he speaks. It’s literally hypnosis. Hypnosis for the BIG whopper lie:

“Federal law enforcement is not here to keep us safe.”

Really, Eric? Maybe you can make an argument that some federal law enforcement isn’t here to keep us safe… but you didn’t specify.

You didn’t exclude organizations like the US Coast Guard, which is federal immigration law enforcement and does keep us safe.

Why? Because he needs to paint with broad strokes in case other agencies are called in.

Nad now the stage is set to dehumanize: “Federal law enforcement is killing people, beating people…”

And the worst lie: “Detaining people like disposable objects.”

Once you are hypnotized. Once you trust your feelings over facts. Once you know those feelings make you morally superior. Once you know ICE thinks you are “disposable garbage,” then you are prepared to act with violence!

Just trust your feelings and don’t look at the massive endowment the Southern Poverty Law Center has to fund physiological operatives trained in Marxist theory like Eric Ward.

DR has been doing an excellent job, but some context is missing, specifically around the three real purposes of Davos.

Collusion
Proof of life
Narrative testing

Let me explain 🧵
Note: I’ve never attended, but I have close friends who do, and I’ve reported for decades from similar off-the-record gatherings hosted by billionaires in the shipping and industrial sectors. Davos isn’t unique. It’s just the most visible version.
PRIMARY PURPOSE: COLLUSION

Before the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, collusion wasn’t illegal—it was normal. Industry leaders met openly, wrote letters, and signed agreements to divide markets, suppress wages, avoid taxes, and eliminate competition.

This coordination was enforced by bankers. If you didn’t play along, you didn’t get financing.

We’re taught that J.P. Morgan personally orchestrated this system for profit, but when he died, his estate was under $80 million. Immense by modern standards, yes—but a fraction of Rockefeller or Carnegie. Morgan wasn’t the ultimate beneficiary. He was an agent, largely acting on behalf of private families in London.

When Theodore Roosevelt doubled down on antitrust enforcement, that model broke. The British elite needed a replacement. Cecil Rhodes’ answer was the Round Table—a secret society designed to coordinate power indirectly. But secrecy is fragile. It gets exposed.

So they adapted.

Instead of secret societies, they created trade organizations—the precursors to modern NGOs. Each industry got one. Media was invited to public sessions to provide cover, while real decisions were made in private, behind closed doors. “Transparency” without access.

But that only solved coordination within industries. How do you collude across industries?

You capture the pipeline.

Elite universities became the sorting mechanism. Promising candidates were identified early—often via scholarships like Rhodes—and routed into industry, finance, government, or think tanks.

Instead of industries negotiating directly, coordination was outsourced to think tanks. Institutions like Chatham House published “best practices” and “future trends.” Anyone could read them—but only those trained at elite schools truly understood what they meant or how to implement them.

This system accelerated during the Roosevelt and Taft years and culminated in the election of an academic—Woodrow Wilson. The public trusted academics. That trust proved invaluable.

The result?
•Tariffs killed via the 16th Amendment
•Monetary policy handed to banking interests via the Federal Reserve Act
•State power weakened through the 17th Amendment
•And, ultimately, U.S. entry into WWI

At its most basic level, that’s what Davos is today. Anyone can attend if they have money. The collusion happens elsewhere.

Can we pause the Greenland noise for one second and admit the obvious?

Denmark isn’t sovereign anymore it’s in lockstep with @Maersk.

The UN @IMOHQ is run by NGOs.

Maersk and the UN @IMOHQ are in lockstep with China.

Here’s the history 🧵
In practice, its government moves in near-lockstep with @Maersk—the world’s largest logistics empire.

Not officially.
Not on paper.
But in outcomes, incentives, and red lines.

Here’s how we got here. Image
Denmark was occupied by Nazi Germany in 1940.

The King stayed. He became a symbol of quiet national continuity.

But Denmark had no army to celebrate. No Normandy. No Stalingrad.

What it did have was a merchant fleet at sea, one of the largest in the world, which joined the Allied cause. Danish sailors carried fuel, food, and munitions under Allied control while their homeland was under German occupation.

They were 💯 critical to allies success.

Over a thousand Danish merchant sailors died while serving with the Allies

Those sailors became Denmark’s war heroes.

And that mattered.

It meant that after the war, shipping companies that fought with the allies had enormous political legitimacy in Denmark in a way the U.S. Merchant Marine never did in America.Image

I like this a lot. Some sections are demanding, you have to reread them, but that’s not a flaw. It forces the reader to slow down. And sometimes hard is not only good, it’s necessary.

What many people miss is that linear systems are incredibly efficient but only under very specific conditions: rule-based order, geopolitical stability, and a high degree of trust and safety.

Linear systems excel at things like this: start a business, raise X capital, optimize for Y, expand into Z markets. Capital flows easily because there are few externalities. You don’t worry much about supply-chain collapse, interest-rate shocks, reputational risk from social media swings, or geopolitical sabotage. The system absorbs those risks for you.

For decades, the job of government was to simplify everything:
•One monetary system (the dollar)
•One diplomatic framework (the UN)
•Fewer barriers to trade
•Low interest rates
•Free trade
•Colorblind governance (no DEI sorting)
•Outsourcing complexity to NGOs

This was a very good thing.

The ultimate expression of this logic is a one-world, highly integrated system. From a pure efficiency standpoint, that is also a very good thing.

The catch is simple but fatal: everyone has to agree and act with some degree of honesty.

The reason we ended up with a “uniparty” consensus is that a global linear system made business extraordinarily efficient and reduced many traditional security risks. Conservatives liked it because it boosted growth and stability. Liberals liked it because it freed up capital and cognitive bandwidth for social priorities.

That alignment wasn’t sinister, it was rational.

To make it work, however, you need powerful international institutions capable of managing complexity. Organizations like the IMO, alongside dozens of NGOs, effectively regulate 90% of global trade. For a long time, that worked and it worked well.

“But John, I thought you were MAGA?”

Yes and what I just described is the system we had in the late 1990s and early 2000s. We came remarkably close to a near-optimal arrangement.

But a perfect system depends on trust. And trust broke.

Russia and China refused to play by the rules. Both became aggressively extractive. China hollowed out global manufacturing for themselves. Russia stripped natural resources. And NGOs, operating inside a high-trust, low-scrutiny environment, captured everything else.

Consolidated power plus high trust is an open invitation to fraud.

So now we’re stuck in the worst possible configuration: a system optimized for efficiency, but hemorrhaging value through corruption. The most honest, rule-following participants are being drained to subsidize the least honest ones.

That brings us to the present bifurcation.

We have two choices:
1.Double down on consolidation and linearization, squeezing out even more efficiency so we can do better despite the fraud (liberals)
2.Accept complexity, abandon false simplicity, and actively intervene to repair what’s broken (MAGA)

But this isn’t just MAGA vs liberals.

It’s linear thinkers vs non-linear thinkers.

The skill set required to streamline a functioning system is completely different from the skill set required to diagnose and repair a failing one.

And at the root of all of this is education.

Our education system has spent decades selecting for linear thinkers—because that’s what worked. The formula was clear: honors track, X hours of study, Y tutors, Z credentials. Choose the right majors, follow the prescribed career ladder, earn the right degrees. The path wasn’t easy, but it was linear—and it rewarded intelligence and discipline.

In a well-managed linear system, you don’t need to think broadly. If something matters, the system tells you. If CNN isn’t talking about it, keep your head down and stay on the track.

That model no longer works. 1/2
Today, we need people who can hold multiple competing ideas in their heads at once—people who can reason across systems, not just within them, so they can repair the system and end fraud while it’s still running. Those people were liabilities in a smoothly operating machine, so we sidelined them.

That’s why a single-lens worldview, what DR describes, became dominant. The people elevated into leadership across NGOs, international institutions, and finance are highly linear thinkers who need everything reduced to BLUFs and flowcharts.

But here’s the contradiction: we no longer have a linear system.

It’s impossible to go back without repairing the system. The fraud is too great.

And since roughly 2015, instead of adapting to the fraud, liberals pushed harder for linearity—forcing more people into increasingly brittle efficiency tracks—while parallel ideologies (DEI, ESG, Marxist frameworks) taught others how to exploit the growing fraud inside the system.

The result isn’t progress or equity.

It’s systemic failure hiding behind the language of efficiency.

And now the people with the power under a linear system (like the person at CNN who is intelligent and put in the hard work to go to x school, follow y career path, and follow z type stories) are pissed off because they did everything they were told to do and they achieved the pinnacle of the system but they have zero power.

While those who were tossed out of the system (I had to leave the navy and follow a very non-traditional career to succeed) are running circles around them because we think nonlinearly and can jump around with a wrench fixing problems.

And here’s the reason why they are getting SO ANGRY at us. Because they cannot see what we see.

It’s not that they are dumb, it’s that they have been trained and selected for a very tunnel vision worldview.

And we are angry because we have no credentials or traditional power combined with a very wide field of view.

We can see all the problems very clearly and multitask…. While they can only focus on one problem in predefined buckets: in this case, that bucket is Maduro.
P. S. BOTH take work.

It takes a lot of work to get into Harvard and follow the formula to Senator or CEO. You have to read all the right books and climb the singular path.

It also takes a lot of work to read what DR is saying and my long text and map it to the world around you. You have to read a wide diversity of books and climb many difficult paths.

Work is just the prerequisite.

Problem is all the work the ivy league CEO or “top military journalist” has become useless in the last 10 years because of all the fraud while the work of the much smaller subset like Dr or Elon or me have become wildly more valuable.
