1/🧵Speaking as an Army infantry combat veteran and former Special Agent who leans center-right: this isn’t partisan, it’s observational. We’ve quietly normalized militarized police, and the silence around it should worry everyone. 2/ I’ve worn the gear. Helmet, plates, full kit.

It changes you. There’s a psychological switch that flips when you put it on. You move different. You think different.

1/ 🧵Listen up @SecArmy @USSOCOM I designed the ASOC course. I’ve worked security in Venezuela since the Chávez era. If the U.S. ever puts boots on the ground, the real problem won’t be terrain or uniforms. It will be people, networks, and time. 2/ Venezuela isn’t just a failed state. It’s a managed battlespace. Paramilitary gangs, colectivos, and criminal militias aren’t separate from the regime, they are the regime’s enforcement arm.

Thread 🧵 Diosdado Cabello the guy calling the shots in Venezuela is widely regarded as one of the most feared and ruthless figures to emerge from Venezuela’s power structure.
He isn’t cruel in the impulsive sense. He’s cruel in the methodical sense. The kind of man who understands institutions, then corrodes them from the inside until fear becomes policy. As president of the Constituent Assembly, head of the ruling party, and power broker behind security forces, Cabello has long been accused by journalists, defectors, and

Thread 🧵: Here is what the @WhiteHouse won’t talk about. There is something suspiciously covert about the shooting of two members of the West Virginia NG in Washington, D.C., something that should not be so quickly dismissed as "conspiracy theory" simply because it makes the powerful uncomfortable..

Long Read but worth it. 🧵The Transformation of Government into Private Power
The American Constitution is more than just a framework for governance—it is the greatest experiment in self-rule through law and reason rather than brute force. The Founders built a system designed to prevent any one individual from amassing unchecked power. They created a structure in which democratic institutions, not personal authority, would shape national decisions.
Now, we are watching as this system is methodically dismantled.

🧵 Preliminary Assessment: Strike on Fordow and Broader Target Package
Six GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs) were reportedly deployed against the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant. That level of coordination didn’t occur. At best, an access point was sealed. At 30,000 lbs, primarily tungsten, it uses sheer mass, inertial guidance, time-delay fuses, and sequenced shock propagation to penetrate hardened underground targets. But Fordow was engineered with MOP logic in mind.

Thread: Most people who live in undeveloped countries make life in their native country because they have no other choice. What brings immigrants to the United States is the premise that has been bringing immigrants to the United States since before it was a country itself,
