Venezuela Reflection

 

Diversity Is Our Strength

Like wow, I no sooner post BOC's awesome Godzilla than SOCOM goes kinetic. What a raid, leaves Skorzeny in the techno dust, and now Maduro's getting the perp walk in New York. A message to Commie Mamdani? Yeah, and every other corrupt rainbow leftist that ever there was. What can we say?

The Venezuelan flex leaves risible Rainbow Europa and Whitehall looking peculiarly irrelevant, as in nobody cares what you think. Russia and Chyna? A strong signal, to put it mildly, stay out of our back yard, dammit, and let's hear it for Monroe. More broadly, some call it the end of globalist orthodoxy and a return to multipolar national interest.

Perhaps, but what do you think, so-called LSP? Good question. On the one hand, a bravura display of military power or, in the hideous language of our technocrat overlords, force projection. Respect, world take note. On the other, who will we choose to run Venezuela? Pressing issue, surely. One commenter on this shallow and frivolous mind blog offered a timely caveat:

The Bush Doctrine is apparently back. I wonder if Venezuela will be a better place now with the Carlyle Group running their ports, BlackRock controlling their shipping, the Gates Foundation running their farmlands, Musk running their media, Bezos running their economy, Pfizer running their healthcare, Palantir in charge of their security, and Royal Dutch Shell extracting their resources. Let's not forget too, Trump's Ambassador-at-Large---Log Cabin Republican Ric Grenell---who'll make sure that the Catholics down there accept the Rainbow Agenda.

 

Thanks, Night Wind, good call. But Bush doctrine? I don't see a ground invasion here but what can I say, situation developing. Still, NW's corporate interest caveat in mind, who will we chose to take over this oil rich state? Who knows. And also this.

The late Roman Republic fell, it would seem, into Empire, Imperium; as Roman conquest added up from Carthage on, delenda est, so too did tribute/tax money. In the end the cross currents of greed, power, ambition and the Republican mores of a free if now imperial city clashed. The upshot? 

After a brutal civil war, Octavian won and became Augustus, the Empire had an Emperor. Fast forward to the 6th Century AD and a desolate city in ruins and a deserted Via Sacra. Do you think, dear friends, that history rhymes?

Marking Time

 

Marking time, here at the Compound. Do you remember the command? "Marking time. Mark time!" Quite the thing, stamp about like fury and there you have it. Parade square reminiscence aside, here's jolly old Procul Harum:

See you at the SAVAGE,

LSP

Down With The Eagle

 

Here we are, cheering on an incoming administration dedicated to ending centralized Fed tyranny. And what a tyranny it was, billions of dollars of your tax money funneled into NGOs, the MSM and wherever to squash you like a bug in PR world. Think on it. You pay the Feds some stupid percentage of your earned money, and they use it to fund Mengeles who'll trans your kid. Or the war in Ukraine.

Did you vote for the Ukraine war? Did you vote for your kid to have trans surgery? No, you did not. So why is your money paying for both.. This garbage has gotta stop. The leftist slush fund, paid for by you, has got to end. And it will. In the meanwhile, all the recipients of USAID billions are howling, weeping, choking on their tongues and crying out for retribution.

Sic Transit,

Here We Are - Just Kickn' Back

 

It's not easy, here at the Compound. By no means! Turn it up.

Stand easy,

LSP

Interlude

 

A golden dish with every wish. Quite, and then some. Does this mean 45 becomes 47? I call not in a snowball's chance in hell but feel free to disagree.

See you all at the Club.

Excelsior,

LSP

Drones And A Prayer

 

No, not the Club, much as we love it, just the Christmas Quad. And what a grand hotel quad it is, flying merrily throughout the storied rooms of the Compound on its various missions. Lights on, drone action, here we go.

Training, if you like, get those piloting skills in if you've got any sense for the year ahead because guess what, anything could happen in 2023. I kid you not and perhaps you agree. In the meanwhile, we're celebrating the Feast of the Holy Innocents. Here's a prayer:

O ALMIGHTY God, who out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast ordained strength, and madest infants to glorify thee by their deaths; Mortify and kill all vices in us, and so strengthen us by thy grace, that by the innocency of our lives, and constancy of our faith even unto death, we may glorify thy holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

 

Powerful, eh? And while we're at it, pray for the overthrow of Moloch.

God bless,

LSP

Excelsior!

 

Do you feel we're living at the very end of an age? That in mind, let's hear it for Procul  Harum. Grand Hotel, what an album. And it reminds me of a South African Latin teacher who used to command us to strike our heads against 18th C desks if we messed up vocab tests.

"I like Harum and Purple," he'd exclaim. "Strike your head against the desk ten times. Harder." Well, it was the '70s.

Cheers,

LSP

Grand Hotel

There you go. Rock on, G7,
