What if I fall asleep and don’t wake up before I’m supposed to post? Well, then I guess I would post it when I wake up! Before I went to sleep last night, I saw a post on X (a tweet) about a spike in the Pentagon pizza index. I wondered if anything was happening, but nothing else unusual was coming up on my feed and it was late, so I didn’t really remember it after going to sleep and waking up. Once I woke up, I saw the news that the U.S. is bombing Venezuela and taking Maduro. It took me a few minutes to remember the post, but once I did, I was like, oh shoot. Not sure how I feel about all of this, but it seems like this is illegal to do without congressional approval and like a violation of Venezuelan sovereignty. There is no peace in Westphalia! 

I need to see what else unfolds in the next 36 hours or so before I feel like I can fully comment. I am suspicious of what’s happening and whether or not Trump and Maduro are secretly friends. That’s an unfounded thought, but I haven’t been able to shake it all day. I’m suspicious of what’s happening with Russia, China, and Iran had going on there and the extent it has influenced the current events. I am not sure what will happen politically. I’m not sure if I’ll know what’s happening is actually what happened/if it was orchestrated to happen that way, etc. 

Well, I’m tired xx

    Getting harder and harder to know what is the unvarnished truth anymore. Maybe twas always thus but I don’t think so. The pizza index is fascinating and maybe useful as an indicator. It’s worked before. Just read how someone opened an account on Polymarket a few weeks ago. The prediction market had been taking bets on whether or when Maduro would be ousted from power, with prices for “out by January 31, 2026” as low as $0.07 late Friday evening.
    An hour before the military action, this newly created account invested 30K and racked up 408K profit. Love to know who it was. need Anonymous to hack that.
