Watch Diosdado Cabello prevent US rescue teams from helping a Venezuelan trapped under the rubble. The regime doesn’t care about saving people, all they care about is control.
CANADIANS waiting more than 48 hours in the Emergency Room waiting to be admitted!?
That’s criminal
Should be a massive scandal considering how much we PAY for healthcare. Nothing FREE about Canada’s healthcare, and it also might KILL you
🫓 State media propagandist asked the leader of the Mexican rescue team Topos to thank Delcy Rodríguez.
"I'm no politician, I'm a rescuer... I sent her to hell... Then came her boss and I said: I'm sorry but I had to mistreat that pendeja..."
You don’t hate the Venezuelan regime nearly enough.
As thousands remain trapped under the rubble, the regime has just scheduled volunteer registration 2+ days after the earthquakes, while countless reports say community-organized aid efforts being blocked.
All while regime propagandists and apologists like @frrodriguezc blame the lack of preparedness on US sanctions, instead of the multi-decade misappropiation of hundreds of billions of dollars by the regime.
#ÚLTIMAHORA Delcy Rodríguez anuncia registro de voluntarios en el Poliedro de Caracas a partir de las 7:00 pm para poder acceder a La Guaira https://t.co/QEZPXO5bqN
#ÚLTIMAHORA | Según cifras que maneja la Oficina de Coordinación de Asuntos Humanitarios de Naciones Unidas, los desaparecidos por los seísmos en Venezuela podrían ser 50.000.
Delcy Rodríguez, the "acting" president of Venezuela has declared a state of emergency.
What you are watching from Venezuela is more than a natural disaster story. It is a governance autopsy.
Hundreds are confirmed dead and the real toll is rising because no one is coming to rescue those still trapped in the rubble.
Let's break it down: Twin 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes. Buildings collapsed in Caracas and neighboring cities.
And where are the ambulances?
Where are the fire trucks?
Where is the state?
There are no emergency services. Because there is no state. There is only a criminal enterprise that wears a costume. The state built a machinery to repress. Silence. Torture. Kill. Not to rescue.
To every American businessperson who has traveled to Caracas in the last few months, met with Delcy Rodríguez, signed deals, convinced themselves that "things are changing" and that engagement is pragmatic. This is for you…
For those who believe the American government fiction that "everything is going great" with Delcy…. you are watching your thesis collapse in real time, under rubble, with no one coming to help.
The fiction that Venezuela is "open for business" exists for one reason: Delcy and her brother Jorge need your money, your legitimacy, and your silence. They have no intention of reforming. They respond that they just "don't know" when elections will take place. They have no intention of being held accountable for the billions looted, the political prisoners disappeared, the diaspora of more than eight million people. They need you as props. They need you to keep telling Washington that things are "great!" And that Delcy is exactly what Venezuela needs right now to "stabilize" and "reform."
What this earthquake reveals, as every crisis in Venezuela reveals, is that Maduro and his cronies hollowed out every institution. PDVSA. The hospitals. The fire departments. Civil defense. Emergency services. All of it stripped to the bone and the proceeds wired offshore.
The death toll will be much higher precisely because of what the people now in power did over the last 25 years.
Let's be clear: The people dying tonight and in the next few days under collapsed buildings in Caracas are not dying because of an earthquake. They are dying because of 25 years of systematic looting by the same people now issuing press releases about a "state of emergency." Because they're wholly unprepared. Because they looted everything. Did away with talent. And on top of all of this have zero empathy or motivation to help anyone but themselves. They didn’t care about millions of people fleeing into a jungle and walking hundreds of miles to freedom. Why would they care about survivors of this natural disaster?
The media locally isn't reporting or showing the images of the devastation. They're terrified of upsetting the dictatorship.
And tonight:
Not a firefighter in sight. Not an ambulance in sight. Just cameras, and Delcy, and the performance of governance where none exists.
Those businesspeople were warned. The Venezuelans who fled told you. The human rights organizations told you. The evidence was always there.
Now you have photographs.
Guys MSTR is not Luna. It’s not FTX.
It’s its own, unique kind of implosion.
But it’s still imploding.
At the very least, it’s a stock that traded at 3.5x NAV and is going to its rightful place of trading it 0.7x NAV which is where it always belonged.
Cause no one in their right mind should pay a premium for bitcoin they don’t have access to.
And unfortunately, it got so long BTC that it’s taking the NAV down with the multiple.
Resulta inaceptable que a dos horas del sismo no haya información oficial de magnitud y daños por parte de Funvisis.
O que Conatel mantenga el bloqueo de la plataforma X y de decenas de portales cuando los venezolanos necesitan acceso a información veraz.
Exigimos transparencia y atención oportuna para los venezolanos en estos momentos complejos.
Pretty rare earthquake activity tonight on Earth.
Both of these things happening within 2 hours of each other:
1 in 1,000 to 1,200 years
• A “doublet” earthquake in Venezuela (two quakes of similar magnitude in the exact same spot)
• A totally separate 6.9+ quake somewhere else (Japan)

So do I get this right
>Saylor buys BTC
>Issues STRC
>Buys more BTC with proceeds as market goes up
>Average buy price of infinity
>Eventually market goes down
>STRC depegs
>Saylor sells BTC below his average to repeg STRC
>Market moves even lower below his average
>Sells even more BTC to repay STRC
>Eventually market recovers
>Saylor issues more STRC
>Buys now more expensive BTC
>Repeat
I'm a duck but even to me this sounds very retarded
If I understand this correctly it's the worst ponzi I've ever seen
