This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.

We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic…

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.
to achieve, to aspire, we see how costly the journey can be in colombia with miguel turbay uribe,
Marxism cannot exist on its own. It cannot exist without the wealth generated by capitalism.
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.
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.
"'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."
As I was writing that comment, Meade was texting me:
Translation
To WIN freedom
Freedom’s just another word
For something else
To conquer
"Very gracious of the lady."
Yes, but it is also clever and self-interested. She wants his help.
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?
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
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?
Even when he loses, he wins. This is the story of his life. You just can’t keep this magnificent bastard down.
"To conquer freedom."
Forget it, she's on a roll.
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.)
Maduro, a ripe target
Noble peace prize
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.
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.
Yancy, she has been 100% supportive of him. And the feeling has been mutual.
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.
https://thegrayzone.com/2019/05/15/opposition-leader-venezuela-not-dictatorship-maria-corina-machado/
Here is a link to her attending the same "future leaders" program as Navalny.

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!"
Nice
She congratulated him on his win way back in 2016.
If they were really lefty, they wouldn't be burnishing the resumé of the person running against lefty running Venezuela.
“ 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.
Well well well. So THAT happened.
I haven't decided yet whether these "interesting times" are the curse they're intended to be.
with some 5,000 years of history, including the Taiping rebellion and the Civil war of the 20th century, interesting times are often troubled,
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.
...And Venezuela. Giving the award to the Venezuelan opposition figure may facilitate a peaceful transition and/or justify Trump dropping the hammer on Maduro.
“But with Hillary, it was, I came, I saw, I conquered, I came again, twice.”
So why did he need Monica?
" 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.
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.
Well played!
Let us pray María 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.
Is Maduro at any real risk at all right now?
Wait. Isn't this season three of "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" IRL?
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.
"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."
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.
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 María 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"."

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.
"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."
The 20th Century called, Jaq. They want their casus belli back.
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,
I think the committee might have had the idea that Machado would criticize Trump's recent destruction of narco smugglers.
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.
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,
Laslo said, "The subject is a modern woman: the default setting is 'self-interested'. The 'clever' part is the distinguishing factor."
OUCH!
as with the pete theroux link down thread, this part of intel never makes the Bezos post or the Carlos Slims Times
"{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.
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.
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.
modem women... too much space to show everyone
35Ds
So how did we get here
Carlos andres perez promised to reatore the safety net after the oil price collspsed he promised the imf the opposite there was a social explosion which leftist exploited then chavez emerged about a year later with the coup as with gaddafis inner circle almost every one cabello rodriguez et al
@n.n., "Modern women" are showing everyone a lot. There's more ink inside them than all the graffiti inside Canterbury Cathedral.
The current President of Venezuela was elected in 2024 with 53 percent of the vote. He's not a dicatator and the country is not communist. I don't know why this woman got a peace prize but she's not fighting a tyranny. As for Trump, i don't what his story is. I don't war a war with Venezuela. Period.
She has not posted this in Spanish that I can see. She wrote it herself in English, or wrote a Spanish draft, unavailable to us, that was translated by her staff. Either way "conquistar la libertad", probably the original phrase, is a fairly typical thing in Spanish rhetoric. It seems it was used or translated literally, hence it does not work in modern English. Spanish translation, like any translation, is a messy thing. I have been working for 20 years on translating my great uncles memoirs. That was a man much given to poetic or figurative language, and its full of such things. It gets tedious, my mind was made in a very different mold.
Read it as to "learn freedom", as in master it as a skill or process.
RideSpaceMountain... modern women and ink inside
Rebels and a needle. Wait until the fad reaches saturation. I'm asking why?
To achieve or realize freedom.
Right and joe biden won 81 million votes thanks dominion-smart matic
Maduro cheated. Several times. Think of two decades of 2020 elections.
"To achieve or realize freedom"
That works too.
Theres no percentage in "controlling resources", as in retaining an ownership share of revenues. It gets too expensive to hold it against the locals. Consider the viability of colonialism.
You are speaking like Lenin in the 1920s. A party line out of a different world.
I can't wait for Trump's third term.

Concerning acetaminophen and autism, plus a particular developmental window plus the presence of "oxidative stress."
“Ganar la libertad” would be a better way to put it, that is, “to garner freedom”
"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."
For example?
It doesn't seem like the current world has a problem producing enough oil.
America is self-sufficient. The drugs are not welcome. The oil is destined for developing and partner nations.
Oil is a quick and easy way to make money. Money=power. So oil is "the prize", often enough. "The Prize", Yergin 1990
As for war - as long as human nature is what it is you will have wars. If it is the US keeping the lid on the ever boiling pot of everyones ambitions and resentments, then the US is exposed to wars or the threat thereof.
Stop holding down the lid and you have a far worse mess.
Nothing is ever all about the poor people. If that were true much, there wouldn't be any. Trump wants glory, historical praise, and that's a damned good motivation if he wants it for ending wars and saving my country. I hope he gets it, but a lot people don't want that.
If there is an oil shortage, I blame Diddy.
Although it's true that Venezuela has massive proven oil reserves, greater than Saudi Arabia even, it's also true that it's heavy sour crude. Next door in Trinidad, it's closer to the surface in the form of an asphaltic lake. You have to cut the crude with lighter condensate in order to refine it - Venezuela, back when it still had a little money, used to import tankers of it so they could make diesel for domestic consumption. The country is a mess, and their petroleum infrastructure lies in ruin. Small denomination Bolivars blow in the street as litter, since they're effectively worth less than fractional pennies. So the state has become a bad actor, a facilitator of international subversion, a lot of it directed at the US. The sooner it's cleaned out the better their citizens and society will start to recover.

You are such a good person. Do you feel like you are holier than everyone else? Are you the bestest most bravest goodest person here?
You should go eat some of your own shit since you think it is strawberry ice cream.
cant type.
If Trump decides to attack Venezuela, I doubt 1 American in 10 could tell you why. Of course that won't stop them from going "Hell yeah, get those commies" and "We need fall in line, and support our commander in chief".
And if it ends with boots on the ground, and then another $500 billion on the war, and $500 Billion to rebuild Venesuzela they'll go along with that. Because they always do.
I was hoping Trump would be the peace President but so far he's just McCain with a better sense of humor in foreign policy.
The sun cartel should take the hint but as data republican has pointed out they dont think they need to yoi
…if the choice is shit or strawberry ice cream…
No one can explain - in a convincing way - why we cant reduce tensions with Iran. As opposed to having a Iranian-USA cold war - with the occasional bombing. Israel just decided they don't like Iran and they shouldn't have the option to produce nuclear weapons, and we - the USA - are supposed to feel the same way.
Now we're beating the drums of war against Venezuela. Reason? Unclear. I assume its because they have oil and don't do what we want. The thing is, if you have lots of oil you can more or less tell the USA to go to hell when they start telling you what to do.
You can put tarriffs on Germany or Japan. But you can't really stop people from selling oil, the demand is too high.
Hes been as dim as the lockdown period
I have set out the facts, now you have feelings scissors beat paper
“reduce tensions with Iran”
You ask and President Trump delivers:
“Iran—a longtime backer of Hamas—has signaled tacit support for the ongoing Israel-Hamas ceasefire in Gaza“
Happy now?

The Iranian problem is the Iranian state is dependent on a fanatical militarized faction. They "license" what is in effect a puppet government. Thats why you usually get mixed messages from Iran. Its a bit like US Democrats at the moment, but in Iran its been going on since 1979.
The Venezuelan autocracy that Maria Corina Machado is fighting against bears a striking resemblance to the developing situation in the US.
Venezuela could be ignored if their folly remains in their own country. They are unlikely to make effective use of their oil reserves in their current condition, for good or ill. Their economic disaster is affecting their neighbors because of the constant refugee flow, worst hit is Colombia, but that can be dealt with. The risk is of third parties exploiting this weakness. The Russians have tried, the Chinese have tried, but the Venezuelan state is too ramshackle to deliver even for them.
“The Venezuelan autocracy that Maria Corina Machado is fighting against bears a striking resemblance to the developing situation in the US. O for Pete’s sakes, the Democrats aren’t as bad as Maduro . . . yet. But I suppose I see your point.
Venezuela is a degenerate socialist state, which turns into, normally, a coalition of armed criminal gangs, a "failed state". That is, if some other external power or internal revolution doesnt destroy it.
It seems to be ripe for a "Bay of Pigs" type invasion, to take the Lake Maracaibo area for starters. That should remove most of the government revenues. The central government gang may blow away with just that.
Risks - Russia and China COULD finance a continued insurgency, to make trouble.
