Hugo Chávez, like Zohran Mamdani, vowed to smash entrenched elites, redistribute wealth, and end poverty through bold socialist programs.
Result in Venezuela? Roughly 8 million people, a full quarter of the population, fled the country in desperation from hyperinflation, shortages, and collapse.
Yet fans of Mamdani cheer the same playbook for NYC, convinced this time socialism will magically deliver in the world’s financial capital, despite its spectacular failure just hours away by plane.
History isn’t a suggestion. It’s a warning.
@GundamIsHere They're not core features. Regular mod shops, tattoo parlors, and salons are still available. These are extra shops in addition to the basic ones. Everyone seems to have misunderstood this.
STUNNING: USAID + THE BIG GRIFT
Looks like USAID supported college tuition for Anwar Aulaqi (Awlaki) who later became a high level al Qaeda terrorist.
Aulaqi falsely claimed he was born in Yemen to secure the financial help via the State Dept. when he was actually a US citizen, born in Las Cruces New Mexico.
Aulaqi would later develop close ties with several 9/11 hijackers and attain leadership status in AQ's Yemen affiliate.
Aulaqi was the godfather of the digital jihad that leveraged his writings and the web to radicalize Americans to AQ's cause.
Aulaqi became the first American targeted for death by the CIA. In 2011, he was killed in a US drone strike.
This 1997 Aulaqi mugshot is for soliciting prostitutes.

HOLY HELL
“On one occasion, a police officer returned Fiona [victim] to the house where the abuse was occurring and told the men to “have fun with her.”
Prison is too good for these monsters
Listen to Rupert Lowe read out just 5 minutes of survivors testimony from the rape gang inquiry.
What sounds like a horror movie, was actually perpetrated against British children by predominantly Pakistani Muslim men.
Legacy media refuse to cover it.
🇬🇧 Video of British police arresting a crying 5-year-old boy while he was walking alongside them as they detained his father is going viral.
They shoved the terrified little kid into the back of their patrol car like trash. When his mother, baby still clutched in her arms, rushed to rescue her son, these thugs pushed her back and ordered her to stand down.
This is the UK in 2026.
Absolutely disgusting!
The Muslim majority council of the town of Harrow in the UK has begun hiring Muslim morality police they call “civil enforcement officers” to accost, fine, and harass native British people.
“We’re going to make sure you can’t work any more and earn no money.”
This is the kind of thing that haunts families, and it haunts me and my deputies. All because a prosecutor won't prosecute a crime.
A man cosplaying as a woman sexually assaults a young lady as part of a sport. It's on tape.
That's what happened. We recommended charges. The Pierce County prosecutor declined to charge and says the fact that it was a man doesn't have any bearing on the assault.
It's right there. On video. They don't want you to believe your own eyes. It's gaslighting. It's awful.
To everyone on here. Flood the internet with this story. They're not listening and it's time we got loud. More below 🧵⬇️
ACCOUNTABILITY: @drewoutstanding COVID vaccine injury caused paralysis throughout his entire body. He says it took 3 years for him to get out of his wheelchair and that his full medical retirement from the Army is silent on Covid Vaccine Injury.
After our investigation @karolinestancik got two years back pay but she is struggling to clear $28k medical debt. At 25 she has a pacemaker and a service dog.

When I left the courthouse on Friday, multiple individuals approached Sippi and me. They were yelling and brandishing multiple firearms.
One of the men initially displayed a pistol that was slung outside of his shirt and held it at a low-ready position. The individuals were clearly making sure that we saw the firearm as they approached.
Afterward, Sippi sarcastically remarked, “That’s bad ass.”
The man then responded, “Oh, I bet you didn’t see this one,” before lifting his shirt and brandishing another firearm that was positioned near his waistband (in the center).
The group continued yelling and followed us across the front of the parking lot.
Sippi immediately escorted me to our vehicle, and we left.
I am not here to give these people any of my time or attention. I am here to report, as I have been for the past year.
It’s sad that it has come to this. They are angry that I’m doing my job, and behavior like this is exactly why we have increased our security measures and are taking additional precautions.
A large number of the men in the parking lot carrying firearms have identified themselves as members of the Black Panthers. I do not know whether the individuals who approached us were affiliated with that group or not.

One of the most shocking things I witnessed today was this woman in pink screaming “you gon end up like Metcalf, you gone be pushing up daisies”.
I caught the tail end of her saying this to Metcalf supporters in the clip below.
I also witnessed several Karmelo supporters get extremely aggressive when ANY media tried speaking with them.
One female reporter went up to the group to ask questions (linked below) and they immediately got angry saying “we told y’all to stop coming the f*ck over here” (this was her first attempt at speaking to them).
At this point I started warning every reporter who was trying to speak with this group, as earlier, another local reporter had tapped on the shoulder of the man who leads their chants. This man immediately squared up and acted like the reporter had punched him.
I’ve been covering protests for 7 years and this is some of the most violent and racially charged rhetoric I’ve ever encountered.
I hate doing this, asking for money, people have their own problems, but I'm homeless atm (including my sisters who are with me).
We normally have our family house to stay in, in case things got rough, but my father trashed it. Water damage, sewage, any problem you can ...
The same police force who handcuffed Henry Nowak and called him a liar as he died, did this to the people protesting it.
Nobody can say there's no two tier policing and judiciary in the UK.
The whole world sees it.
This is one of the BIGGEST issues facing Texas that nobody is talking about.
We have to take this seriously, and more importantly, take action.
We also need a competent leader to meet this problem head on. I will be having several meetings with ranchers in the district and leading experts in the coming weeks to make sure Texas can combat this threat.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Police just released the bodycam footage in the killing of 18-year-old white male Henry Nowak and it CONFIRMS the police LAUGHED HIM OFF when he said he got stabbed
Straight-up says: "I've been stabbed."
COP: "Whereabouts? Don't think you have, mate!"
NOWAK: "*Groaning* I CAN'T BREATHE."
COP: "Put your hand in the cuff."
Nowak says he can't breathe again.
Then again while they just stand there.
"We have to check [if he was stabbed], don't we?"
THESE COPS ARE COMPLICIT IN THE MURDER!!
THERE SHOULD BE WORLDWIDE OUTRAGE.
