Okay. I'm seeing more and more posts being shared about the #NYTimes and the #WashingtonPost knowing of the #US aggression on #Venezuela ahead of time.
However, it's always from the same source. BNO News. I had never heard of them before. Apparently, they're a Dutch news agency. Maybe it's true, maybe not. In any case, now has come the time for disinformation. Be careful what you share and don't just spread things on impulse because you're outraged.

@semafor.com I also refuse to treat BNO as a real news source.

@freedom2b.cryptoanarchy.network I didn't say I refuse to treat them as a real news source, I'm saying that right now, they're the only source, and it's not enough for such a thing.

@DavidBHimself@mastodon.social They were popular on Twitter. They were pretty good at breaking news.

@driusan You mean BNO News?
Still, one source is not enough for that kind of thing.

I am not sure why you doubt the billionaires were unaware. They more than cooperate with the criminal regime, they are co-conspirators, who worked hard to put Trump in power.

You remember Bezos cancelling the Washington Post Editorial endorsement of Harris and warning of Trump's criminal plans right?

@kevinrns @driusan Because I like facts. I doubt in the literal sense. I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't assume either.

When one information becomes viral, it suddenly becomes "true" in people's minds, and this is exactly how you can manipulate entire populations.

So yes, I doubt. In the sense that I don't assume it's true, but I don't assume it's false, and as long as there is nothing else tilting the thing one way or the other, I don't think it's wise to spread it.

Here is a similar story on who is informed, and its not surprising. Oil CEOs were told, we're invading a country to get you their oil.

I see no reason the other billionaires involved in the end of democracy were not told.

'The oil companies are ready': Trump says US oil firms were informed in advance of Venezuela raid

Trump repeatedly talked about the intervention that US oil companies will carry out in the South American country when asked if elections were being planned there.

But its doesnt lower their reputation, its not a shock. Its like contending Elon Musk knew, its like wondering if Vance "knew"

The Washington Post is beneath contempt, it is weapon being used against the American democracy, it is a quisling, because of it's owner, on purpose.

I bet Bezos often wears socks. < -Its not a contentious question.
