Hi hello the Venezuela stuff is entirely about oil, both in Venezuela and in Guyana (where Venezuela is laying claim to the oil in what is now Exxon’s largest oilfield, which Chevron has also bought into). It is the bidding of US oil majors and it’s not remotely subtle.

They're not "vaccine skeptics." They're science deniers who are causing the spread of preventable illness and death for political reasons.
A CDC panel just reversed a 34-year-old newborn vaccine policy. Opponents say the shift threatens to undo decades of hepatitis B prevention. f-st.co/FY68nW5
CDC panel overturns 1991 newborn vaccine policy, triggering warnings of a public health backslide
Experts warn the decision could confuse doctors, burden families, and revive preventable infections as the committee reopens the entire childhood vaccine schedule.

Climate Folks: I know that Big Oil is partnering with Big Tech to power AI data centers. But are they promoting AI too?
I'm concerned that Big Oil will see AI as a key fossil gas market and promote the hell out of AI with PR and lobbying. Are they doing that yet? And can we stop them if they do?
