🔥☀️ 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐥 𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐋𝐞𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐝 ☀️🔥

I have a feeling this could turn out to be the most important rabbit hole yet, so pay attention to this thread. 🐇

Most conspiracy theories claim some shadowy cabal is secretly pulling the strings. But here's the twist: this one insists the cabal doesn't exist at all.

For decades, prosecutors and journalists have pointed to the Cartel de los Soles, a Venezuelan military-political network accused of moving tons of cocaine with impunity. U.S. indictments call out generals, ministers, even Maduro himself.

Yet powerful leftist voices, from Alliance for Global Justice to COHA analysts to UN drug officials, swear it’s all fiction. They label the Suns cartel a “myth,” a “media creation,” or just “narco-mythology.” Even the Wikipedia page brands it as merely “alleged.” 🤯

📊 Ex-UN drug czar Pino Arlacchi says it’s as fake as the Loch Ness Monster.
📰 NGO allies echo “no evidence.”
💻 Wikipedia editors refuse to treat it as fact.

Why are so many powerful voices so insistent on denying the Cartel of the Suns exist?

I don't know. But I suspect there is a powerful financial incentive here.

Let's see if this makes the trolls as angry as they were about yesterday's boat thread.

Alliance for Global Justice -- yes, the same one I wrote about yesteday as the lowest-hanging fruit to crack down on paid protesters -- is one of the biggest amplifiers of the "Cartel of the Suns does not exist" narratives.
Remember, Alliance for Global Justice is a powerful financial NGO openly backing sanctioned terrorist groups and pro-protest groups founded by Bill Ayers. As well as having a role in ANSWER Coalition, also behind many of the nastier anti-Israel protests in the USA. Image

We built a Deep Research demo for the Claude Agent SDK!

It's one our most requested use cases: spawn multiple AI agents to research a topic in parallel, then synthesize their findings into a report.

🧵 on how it works: Image
At a high level:
- the main agent breaks your request into 2-4 subtopics
- it spawns researcher subagents in parallel to search the web
- each researcher saves findings to files/research_notes
- the main agent then spawns report-writer to create final report in files/reports
Using files is a great way of handling subagent communication.

Research subagents can save their findings to files and then the main agent can search across them to make sure the relevant information has been found.

Good Monday - we have something very interesting for you all today on our website that is, in every sense of the word experimental: A new report on crypto and the underbanked. Image
The full report can be found by clicking through, but I wanted to share the most significant here in an easy to share way.

paradigm.xyz/2025/11/bridgi…
The context for this report is there has been a lot of chatter recently on crypto but not enough real research still.

So we decided to try something new: to go to some of the underbanked themselves. We interviewed 11 underbanked folks who use crypto. Image

Good FT piece on the increasing difficulty economists have in understanding, correlating and reconciling Chinese economic statistics. This leads to concerns among many analysts that GDP may be overstated, and fairly substantially.
ft.com/content/5b9e74…
2/8
For the FT (and for many others), the biggest puzzle is over how GDP growth can stay constant at 5% even as investment (which plays a bigger role in driving Chinese GDP growth than in any other country in history) is reportedly declining.
4/8
Part of the answer may be that GDP growth has in fact declined, and rapidly, over 2025, albeit from extremely high levels. Another part of the answer may be the surging trade surplus, which is extraordinarily high for such a large economy, and clearly not sustainable.

@G0ffThew Mexican here Geoff, and one with a Political Science Major to be precise.

This Protest was full can of worms.

Yes, Claudia is popular and the “GenZ” protest started completely inorganic. But violence in México is rampant and in many places worse than ever before (1/?)
@G0ffThew With the murder of Carlos Manzo (Major of Uruapan, Michoacán), the disappearances crisis in México, the disaster of the floodings in Veracruz, and an overall lack of empathy from the Government, despite the GenZ “movement” starting inorganic, a lot of people mobilized (2/?)
@G0ffThew And then, during the protest, a lot of popular sectors ended up participating, including Madres Buscadores, Mom’s whos sons and daighters were killed by organized crime (the Na word) and are looking for at least their remains. (3/?)

For over a year, @TheBreakdownAB been trying to raise the alarm on the extent of the rot in the UCP.

Because of those efforts, I have been the target of harassment, threats and a $6 million lawsuit.

Today, @PeterGuthrie99 confirmed what we’ve been saying.

The Tylenot™️ purchase was directed by Smith and her government.

The Chartered Surgical Contracts were directed by Smith and her government.

Now, in the legislature, Pete Guthrie says that the same individuals also recieved sole sources contracts through Recovery Alberta.

Danielle Smith has dismantled all of the safeguards that are supposed to exist to prevent the kind of influence that we’ve seen exerted over government.

Her insatiable desire to sit at the cool kids table has compromised the province.

John Foreman, ex-UK defence attaché in Moscow: The entire Russian invasion of Ukraine plan was an omni-shambles.

They underestimated Ukrainians, overestimated themselves, were blinded by hubris and chauvinism — “we are the great Russian people, they are the little Russians.” 1/
Foreman: In the winter of 2022 Russian troops sat on the border getting drunk, getting COVID and doing nothing.

Then commanders told them: “Lads, you got to evade tomorrow.” There were no plans and the maps were out of date. It was catastrophic for Russian state. 2X

Rosie O'Donnell just claimed to her 2.9 million TikTok followers that the President is an “adjudicated rapist” and previously settled child abuse cases. In so doing, she may have handed Trump a golden opportunity for a defamation action. jonathanturley.org/2025/11/19/wha…
...Unless O’Donnell can argue truth as a defense with credible support for such settlements, she may have just given Trump a strong basis to sue his long-time critic. There is no love lost between these two, but there could soon be a defamation action.

La teoría del valor-trabajo es la teoría del valor más difundida entre los liberales también. Viene de John Locke, la tiene Adam Smith, la desarrolla Ricardo, y Marx la toma de Ricardo. Que el valor de las cosas deriva del trabajo que llevan incorporado. (1/9)
Todo viene de un error aristotélico, de que cuando se intercambian dos cosas se intercambian cosas de igual valor, y que si no, no habría intercambio. Y ese es el error. Cuando se intercambian cosas, son cosas de desigual valor para cada parte. (2/9)
El cambio más absurdo es el cambio igual. Nadie va a la plaza o al comercio a cambiar un billete de 20 por un billete de 20. Eso es un cambio igual de verdad, y como comprenderán, es un cambio estúpido. (3/9)

▶️ Warum AfD-Wähler Fakten, Wissenschaft und Realität ständig ablehnen

Es fällt immer wieder auf: Egal ob es um Migration, Wirtschaft, Corona oder den Klimawandel geht –
▶️ AfD-Wähler reagieren auf wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse fast reflexartig mit Ablehnung. Image
▶️ Fakten werden bestritten, Expert*innen diffamiert, Zahlen ignoriert.
Warum ist das so?

1. Die AfD lebt vom FEINDBILD „die da oben“.
‼️Für die AfD funktioniert Politik nur, wenn Wissenschaft, Medien und Institutionen grundsätzlich als „Lügner“ dargestellt werden.
Wer Fakten akzeptiert, zerstört das ZENTRALE AFD-NARRATIV –
▶️ also müssen Fakten bekämpft werden.

2. GEFÜHLE schlagen FAKTEN.
Viele AfD-Wähler suchen keine Information, sondern Bestätigung ihrer Ängste: vor Veränderung, Migration, Kontrollverlust oder sozialem Abstieg.

@CarolLeonnig @byaaroncdavis Thank you for Injustice.

There’s one outstanding issue from the 2016 campaign that has not yet been documented for the historical record, related to norms of @TheJusticeDept.

Please try to report on this, for history:

After Attorney General @AGLynch met @BillClinton

1/
@CarolLeonnig @byaaroncdavis @TheJusticeDept @AGLynch @BillClinton on the tarmac at PHX June 27, 2016, her Deputy @SallyQYates should have insisted that Lynch recuse from the case of @HillaryClinton’s emails.

As you know, recusal is the time-honored remedy for almost any perceived conflict; no need to create ad hoc ‘solutions.’

2/
@CarolLeonnig @byaaroncdavis @TheJusticeDept @AGLynch @BillClinton @SallyQYates @HillaryClinton History has not recorded whether Yates confronted Lynch on this, or what happened or did not happen.

We really need to know.

The supposed ad hoc ‘solution’ Lynch approved allowed @FBI Director @Comey to usurp @TheJusticeDept’s prosecutorial authorities
