🎯 THE PATTERN
The systematic conversion of government power into private profit. Trump’s network controls $100 billion Venezuela reconstruction (”controlled by me”) while classified military intel gets monetized through crypto markets his family advises. Congress returns to justify oil company bailouts for firms earning $285 billion in profit while denying healthcare to millions, all while Supreme Court rules FRIDAY on whether Trump can bypass Congress through emergency powers. Venezuela isn’t liberation—it’s a line item in a collapsing federal budget, with a bankrupt regime kept alive by taxpayers while Iran calculates whether it’s next. When classified intel becomes crypto profits, when oil bailouts happen during healthcare crises, when occupations get sold as liberation—that’s not chaos, that’s the system working exactly as intended for those controlling it.
