La CIA ha utilizzato informatori all'interno del governo venezuelano per ottenere dati su Maduro
Secondo il rapporto di RT del 4 gennaio 2026, è stato rivelato che la CIA è riuscita a infiltrare una rete di informatori nelle alte sfere del governo venezuelano per ottenere dati

precisi sui movimenti, i protocolli di sicurezza e l'esatta ubicazione del presidente Nicolás Maduro. Questa fuga di informazioni strategiche, facilitata da funzionari con accesso diretto all'agenda presidenziale, è stata fondamentale

per l'esecuzione delle recenti operazioni di Washington nel paese. Il governo venezuelano ha denunciato questo fatto come una grave tradimento della patria finanziato dall'esterno,

In December 2025, a federal jury convicted Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan of a felony obstruction charge for actions during an April 2025 incident in her courthouse involving a Mexican national whom federal immigration agents were attempting to arrest.
1)

She was acquitted of a related misdemeanor count.

On January 3, 2026, Dugan submitted her resignation letter to Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, asking that it take effect immediately.
2)

In her resignation letter, Dugan said the ongoing legal proceedings and political pressure were distracting from the work of the court and could threaten judicial independence — even as she said she plans to continue fighting her conviction through the appeals process.
3)

🧵There's a particular reason why certain oil companies must be cheering Trump's action in Venezuela. They include: Marathon Petroleum, ExxonMobil, Motiva Enterprises (Saudi Aramco), Valero Energy, Phillips 66 and Flint Hills Resources (Koch Industries).

These companies own and operate refineries on the TX and LA Gulf Coast that represent ~40% of U.S. refining capacity. Those refineries were, for the most part, *purpose built* to refine Venezuelan (and Mexican) oil.

Venezuelan crude is 'heavy' ('sour'). The crude from the Permian Basin, on which the refiners have mostly relied since sanctions were imposed on Venezuela in 2019, is 'light' ('sweet').

#Geopolitics: The abduction of Maduro and his wife by the US, together with the CIA's admission that it had prepared the operation since mid-December, prompted my curiosity about the role of the intelligence services in reshaping US foreign policy in the hemisphere. Given the well-known vicissitudes surrounding US pressure on Venezuela, I would like to highlight several key aspects that indicate the interaction between intelligence and US decision-makers. A long🧵:

1) Firstly, the CIA is the world's leading intelligence agency regarding Latin America, due to its interest in the region since the late 1940s and during the Cold War. That's why, to contain the Soviet risk of spreading left-wing regimes in what, since the Monroe Doctrine, was labelled as the "backyard" of the US sphere of influence, the CIA (and, briefly before that, the FBI) was involved in covert and espionage operations across Latin America. The academic literature provides ample detail on how the US utilised its intelligence services to advance its strategic interests in Guatemala, Ecuador, Argentina, etc. (Gates, 1987; Becker, 2020; and Mistry, 2021 - instrumental reading, if no AI is used). ⤵️

2) Secondly, because of the granular knowledge of Venezuela since before the Cold War, it took only a couple of weeks for the US to organise the abduction of Maduro. This operation was different from what the CIA had organised in the region in the past - coups d'etat to remove governments, leading to military dictatorships and crimes against humanity committed by them during the Cold War. Since the opposition in Venezuela doesn't have the resources to rise against the military, which Maduro groomed for years to secure loyalty, the US didn't even consider engaging with it (something confirmed by D. Trump during today's press conference). Instead, the CIA carried out a plan according to which Maduro had to be brought to the US, serving the urgent needs of domestic (mobilising the Republicans and the rest of the society, including among the leftist segments - to tame "the Mandami effect") and foreing policy of the US (projecting power, especially against China, which just finished conducting drills in the proximity of Taiwan). ⤵️

"RÖNESANS AYDINLARININ TÜRKLERE BAKIŞI"
Prof. Dr. Stefanos Yerasimos

Rönesans döneminde -ya da kabaca matbaanın bulunuşundan 1600 yılına kadar- belli başlı Avrupa dillerinde Türkleri konu edinen binlerce kitap ve broşür yayımlanmıştır.
Hepsine bakalım simdi...

1-Bunun nedeni Türklerin Avrupalılar tarafından bir tehdit olarak algılanması ise de, amaç yalnızca kötülemek ya da onların ortadan kaldırılmasının yollarını araştırmak değil, bu ilk tepkilerin ötesinde Türkleri değerlendirmek, anlamak, dolayısıyla da kendilerini bu tehlikeli,

2-komşuluğa alıştırmak olmuştur. "Barbarlık" ve "kâfirlik" damgasını vurarak dışlamaya çalışan yüklü bir edebiyatın yanı sıra, Rönesans aydınlarının önemli ve seçkin bir bölümü, Türkleri kendi zihinsel evrenlerine çekip Batı'nın tarihsel ve ideolojik algılamalarıyla irdeleyerek

HERE'S WHAT THTE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS DOING TO CRUSH MINNESOTA'S FRAUD EPIDEMIC 🧵
(LET'S GOOOOOO)

According to the White House, the Trump administration is "unleashing a relentless assault to dismantle the massive fraud empires built in Minnesota under the watch of incompetent Democrats like Tim Walz and his Radical Left enablers."

"The Department of Justice is currently engaged in multiple active, ongoing, and extensive investigations into the fraudulent activity that has occurred in various Minnesota programs, including the state’s Feeding Our Future, Housing Stabilization Services, Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention programs, and Evergreen Recovery."

The challenges and solutions in retro computing never cease to amaze me, and today's project is no different. Today's goal was getting working storage in this AST Premium Exec 386 laptop. And fortunately, somewhat against the odds, I found one! Let's talk about it in a 🧵 here!

So, anyway, the issue I had with this laptop is that the original 20MB 3.5" IDE hard drive had died. I thought "no problem, I'll pop on eBay and get one." Except they are scarce and expensive. I picked up two 120MB drives and one 40MB drive. None of them worked.

In the past, I had also tried a CF card. I could get the CF cards to a point where they were accessible, but when I go to boot, I get a blinking cursor.. and sometimes a "non system disk or disk error" a few minutes later. Tried multiple CF cards, same result.

Anthropic just released ALL the Claude Code secrets

Their Prompting best practices just went live in their docs and I spent hours reading it and testing out all the tips

Here are the 10 that make Claude Code so much better: 🧵

🔶 Use Github early and often

Once you connect CC to git, it gets access to your entire commit history

Meaning it will know about EVERY change you've ever committed, making it SO much more powerful

This will reduce hallucinations a ton. Connect CC to git right away

🔶Load up your context

CC's context management has gotten MASSIVE improvements the last few weeks

It now compacts intelligently, allowing you to keep context for a LONG time

Don't be afraid to load context by having CC review your architecture at the beginning of sessions

Some takes on this piece, which I want to interpret as "optimal taxation in an AK economy":

https://twitter.com/dwarkesh_sp/status/2005709923062092038

1. In a baseline AK economy, consumption taxation still dominates capital taxation!(!!!)

See Korinek and Lockwood (2025) for a direct statement of this
youtube.com/watch?v=i2qpFg…
data.nber.org/data-appendix/…

2. In my read there are two 'idiosyncratic' reasons that Phil and Dwarkesh still push instead for capital taxation

At this point, taking the actual operation, Trump’s press conference, and Delcy Rodriguez’s press conference into consideration, it seems fairly certain (though of course, unconfirmed) that Maduro was given up by the remaining government apparatus in a back channel deal. 1/x

They likely used the only card they had to play: only we can ensure stability; the alternative - a full regime change with oppo installed in power - would result in chaos and bloodshed that the US would then have to manage with troops on the ground. 2/x

In exchange, they gave Trump two things: oil (for cash) and Maduro (for show). Plus ancillary players get some of what they wanted: Hegseth gets his macho moment and Rubio gets to strangle Cuba. 3/x

@fml712 @ClassicLearner @shipwreckshow @ShayneVibesTru Non sentient species share field data more readily, like an ant colony or a bee hive - via resonance. Sentient Humans are individualized & have to work at their development by developing their own field. *Not* sharing as much data makes us more unique.

@fml712 @ClassicLearner @shipwreckshow @ShayneVibesTru This deserves a follow up for clarity.

Sentience is a special field development. The diference between animals and humans, though both are alive is that humans have another field that perpetuates after death and carries data. (a soul by any other name) This field (cont)

@fml712 @ClassicLearner @shipwreckshow @ShayneVibesTru ...keeps being developed and is the basis for "reincarnation" as that field resonates with, and attaches to, a newly forming fetus. Animals evolve collectively with a shared field, also eternal, but no real individual data is retained as is by a human or "sentient" life. (cont)

So far, Delcy Rodríguez is not acting as "interim president". She even submitted the Constitutional Chamber an emergency decree supposedly signed by Maduro.

As happened in the past, the Chamber will probably provide a "constitutional" basis for Rodríguez´s following action.

One probable scenario is that the Chamber will declare a temporary vacancy in the presidency, paving the way for Rodríguez to assume the presidency on an interim basis, with the support of the National Assembly.

Maduro may be gone, but abusive constitutionalism persists.

Hasta el momento, Delcy Rodríguez no está actuando como "presidenta interina". Incluso presentó ante la Sala Constitucional un decreto de emergencia supuestamente firmado por Maduro.

Como ya ha sucedido, la Sala podría intentar dar base "constitucional" a próximas acciones.
