To conquer freedom…

I can’t make the first sentence work.

I assume English as a second language issue though I can’t figure out how Spanish would mess that up.

If all leftists would somehow instantaneously shuffle off to their BS land of BS - where they can all cultist circle- jerk together in lies and misery - - the world would be free.

conquer(v.)

c. 1200, cunquearen, "to achieve" (a task), from Old French conquerre "conquer, defeat, vanquish," from Vulgar Latin *conquaerere (for Latin conquirere) "to search for, procure by effort, win," from assimilated form of Latin com-, here perhaps an intensive prefix (see com-), + quaerere "to seek, gain" (see query (v.)).

A cooperative consensus, in part, because baby lives matter.

Very gracious of the lady.

Wouldn't it be ironic were this not to be an isolated case moving forward? That the accolades the globalist cabal withholds from Trump are dedicated to him by the peasantry and middle-class they so despise? When the serfs tell the cabal "FUCK YOU!" they don't care...but they care a great deal about Trump and the populism he represents which is growing.

The smallest thing that legitimizes him weakens them tremendously. Bueno. Mas.

mikee said...

Next up, Trump decides that the War on Drugs started by Nixon deserves to be treated like any other US war, and won, through the US military applying international relationship adjustments among the countries to the south of the US! Then he can do the War on Poverty! And I thought the second term of Trump would be boring.

Achilles said, "Marxism cannot exist on its own. It cannot exist without the wealth generated by capitalism."

Moreover, it is self-congratulatory. Marxism MUST receive awards from within its ecosystem for legitimacy or the facade degrades.

It's a circle-jerk. No wonder the ethos is also intensely homosexual.

Ann Althouse said...

"'To conquer freedom…' I can’t make the first sentence work."

Good catch. The translator must have seen "conquer" as a synonym for win: "To win freedom."

Ann Althouse said...

As I was writing that comment, Meade was texting me:

Translation
To WIN freedom

Freedom’s just another word
For something else
To conquer

Ann Althouse said...

"Very gracious of the lady."

Yes, but it is also clever and self-interested. She wants his help.

doctrev said...

Perfection. President Trump is recognized by the Nobel laureate, and the Nobel committee doesn't have to deal with serious pushback from left or right. Everyone's happy- except Maduro, but who cares about him?

narciso said...

marx could not prevail without engels,if not for the German General staff, Lenin would have remained in Zurich Fidel was the son of a rich landowner, so was Guevara, the Mexican security services did a similar service

tcrosse said...

To conquer freedom. I concur.

Marxism is an umbrella incorporation of class-disordered ideologies including Diversity and its institutional, systemic model as DEI in a resident evil.

Trump will remove the obstacles to both American and Venezuelan viability, but the choice to sustain our Posterity will be for the People of each nation and community. Good luck.

Wait a minute. I thought Obama was the President of the world. Now this guy comes along. It's gonna be a tough act to follow, but having American Presidents dedicated to peace and ending wars would be a great precedent to follow in the future.
Isn't it nice to have a President who isn't sneaking around doing all kinds of nefarious crap in the shadows and denying it? Even the stuff some call corrupt or illegal is still right out in the open, even boasted about for us all to know when we vote, rather than 20 years later. And with the CIA busy trying to destroy Trump, I hope they don't have time to be sneaking around starting wars, like they do. What could be more in character than for Trump to bring a golden age. "They say nobody's seen anything like it."

Oh my goodness. Who gave the Prize to a Trump supporter?

Eva Marie said...

Even when he loses, he wins. This is the story of his life. You just can’t keep this magnificent bastard down.

boatbuilder said...

"To conquer freedom."
Forget it, she's on a roll.

Eva Marie said...

Let me just add, when he wins he wins. When he loses he wins. We’ve never seen anything like this. Democrats and Hamas should just call it a day. (Dershowitz is going to campaign for Republicans in the midterms.)

Noble peace prize

Yancey Ward said...

I think the committee might have had the idea that Machado would criticize Trump's recent destruction of narco smugglers. They may try to rescind the prize now.

Eva Marie said...

One more thing. Campaigning for the Peace Prize was a brilliant move. He intimidated the lefty Nobel Committee from giving the Prize to some obnoxious lefty. They didn’t want to give it to him but they also didn’t want to incur his wrath.

Eva Marie said...

Yancy, she has been 100% supportive of him. And the feeling has been mutual.

Jaq said...

She was part of the same "new leaders awaiting a regime-change operation" at Yale as Navalny, who was, you may recall, the guy who ran for Russian president with Western cash and got his followers doing Nazi salutes.

https://www.ctpublic.org/news/2024-02-20/classmate-reflects-on-alexei-navalnys-time-at-yale

In fact the vast majority of the pictures you saw saying that Russia was overrun with neonazis were from Navalny's rallies.

Here is a picture of her shaking George W Bush's hand at the White House.

Here is a link to her attending the same "future leaders" program as Navalny.

https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/2025-noble-peace-prize-mar-a-corina-machado-yale-21094151.php

The Nobel Peace Prize is controlled by the globalists, same as the ICC, the IAEA, we could go on and on. Did you notice the announcement that this is a "dark time for democracy" because, you know, the wrong people are winning the elections, [ahem, Donald Trump] or, are too popular, and unfortunately we are required to jail them, silence them, etc, because otherwise, our WEF trained "leaders" like Trudeau and Macron can't get elected!"

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Nice

Eva Marie said...

She congratulated him on his win way back in 2016.

Jaq said...

If they were really lefty, they wouldn't be burnishing the resumé of the person running against lefty running Venezuela.

Josephbleau said...

“ To conquer freedom.”

In the same way you conquer the mountain.

But with Hillary, it was, I came, I saw, I conquered, I came again, twice.

Jamie said...

Well well well. So THAT happened.

I haven't decided yet whether these "interesting times" are the curse they're intended to be.

narciso said...

with some 5,000 years of history, including the Taiping rebellion and the Civil war of the 20th century, interesting times are often troubled,

Wince said...

I'm getting a 2020 election vibe from this. Will Trump come back stronger after being denied the award this year? Let's see what happens in Gaza and Ukraine.

Wince said...

...And Venezuela. Giving the award to the Venezuelan opposition figure may facilitate a peaceful transition and/or justify Trump dropping the hammer on Maduro.

Eva Marie said...

“But with Hillary, it was, I came, I saw, I conquered, I came again, twice.”
So why did he need Monica?

Jaq said...

" Giving the award to the Venezuelan opposition figure may facilitate a peaceful transition and/or justify Trump dropping the hammer on Maduro."

Yes, that is very much the intention behind this "peace prize," to justify another globalist war, because Venezuela is sitting on a lot of oil.

Aggie said...

I wouldn't call it completely wrong, perhaps just imperfect use of the word. You 'conquer' something to make it your own, and that's what she wants for Venezuela. It's long overdue, and it needs to happen. They're constantly mischief-making with their neighbors on all sides, over both territory and ideology.

Left Bank of the Charles said...

Well played!

Paul said...

Let us pray MarĂ­a Corina Machado is right. Right about Trump's achievements and right about the end of the Communist regime in Venezuela!!!! I truly hope HAMAS gives up and their is peace in GAZA... and Maduro leaves and Venezuela can again become the great country it was.

Original Mike said...

Is Maduro at any real risk at all right now?

Joe Bar said...

Wait. Isn't this season three of "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" IRL?

Mary Beth said...

She comes off smarter than the Nobel committee. Maybe it's the beginning of a career transition from activist to diplomat. She's clearly smarter than many of the people replying to her who can't fathom why she would do this.

jaydub said...

Tediousness, thy name is Jaq. Or is it Tim? And shouldn't you be back in Vermont drawing up the surrender terms for Ukraine? Again. For the hundredth time.

So did she post it in Spanish and this was a translation?

I know there are different variations of conquer in other latin variants that are more like provide or give.

Kinda curious what is going on. It isn't a big deal as far as the intent which is fairly clear.

She is a political leader that wants us to put her in power over some other political leader.

Original Mike said...

Maduro Secretly Offered US Vast Resources To Avoid War, But Nobel Winner Maria Machado Vows To Go Bigger

"Under a deal discussed between a senior U.S. official and Mr. Maduro’s top aides, the Venezuelan strongman offered to open up all existing and future oil and gold projects to American companies, give preferential contracts to American businesses, reverse the flow of Venezuelan oil exports from China to the United States, and slash his country’s energy and mining contracts with Chinese, Iranian and Russian firms.

However, the report says that President Trump still rebuffed this offer. The consensus is that Secretary of State Marco Rubio's hard anti-Maduro line has prevailed, also in favor of oppositive activist and leader MarĂ­a Corina Machado, who was just awarded the Nobel Peace Price on Friday. The Nobel was awarded, supposedly, as she has kept "the flame of democracy burning"."

Yes, that is very much the intention behind this "peace prize," to justify another globalist war, because Venezuela is sitting on a lot of oil.

Meh. There is nothing inherently wrong with being involved in venezuelan politics.

If we install a friendly regime in Venezuela then we just have to ask what we get out of if.

In this case I think it is probably worth our effort particularly if there is lasting good will in the population.

Original Mike said...

The 20th Century called, Jaq. They want their casus belli back.

narciso said...

it isn't maduros resources to give, he's the evil kevin james, it's the sun cartel that is charge, with ties to hezbollah and iran,
thats what the harpoon financial taskforce uncovered in the 00s,

Nah. That's Inga's job.

the twist of course, is it's high surfur crude, that can only refined in facilities like Houston, also if you ship it all the way to China, but thats a long trip

That latter part really didn't need to be explained.

The subject is a modern woman: the default setting is 'self-interested'.

The 'clever' part is the distinguishing factor.

I am Laslo.

narciso said...

as noted before tdA works with Sebin, their security service and the latter is tied to the 'mostly peaceful' anarchists, which are wrecking our cities, also at least one of the big immigration funnels that was part of the invasion, was run out of Caracas,

as with the pete theroux link down thread, this part of intel never makes the Bezos post or the Carlos Slims Times

Jaq said...

"{The 20th Century called, Jaq. They want their casus belli back."

And yet war after endless war we keep getting entangled in, and they mostly seem to have to do with oil, in some way or other. I guess we just blunder into them, innocently, one on top of the other.

Jaq said...

Talk about tedious, what about war after war? How many wars? And still people think we do it to help the locals. Ukraine already had terms, basically to go back to the terms under which they were created, and the promises of neutrality and respect for neutrality that they enshrined in their constitution as part of the deal that created their country.

I don't think "modern women" - which should be bounded by "western" and for the most part "college educated" - understand how deep a hole they have dug for themselves.

Social Media is giving them too much space to show everyone things nobody wants to see.

Jaq said...

I like you guys better when you let the mask slip that the claim that it's all about helping the poor innocent locals who are oppressed by the people controlling the resources that we want to control is just a ruse. It's kind of refreshing.
