Real people from all over the world can post on blogs.
That is fine, and as the internet should be.
BOTs trolling and distorting are typically originally from Russia, north korea, china, if necessary via proxies.

La última versión del borrador del plan estadounidense para poner fin a la guerra en Ucrania ahora incluye la mayoría de las «prioridades clave» de Kiev, dijo su negociador el domingo, después de mantener algunas rondas de conversaciones en Ginebra

«La versión actual del documento, aunque todavía se encuentra en las etapas finales de aprobación, ya refleja la mayoría de las prioridades clave de Ucrania », dijo el negociador Rustem Umerov, y agregó: «Esperamos seguir avanzando a lo largo del día».

Victor: most big powers have been "meddling with" other countries politics.. since birth.
Certainly Austria now is not a power of any sorts, just perhaps a safe location for a server.

The War between Russia and Ukraine is a violent and terrible one that, with strong and proper U.S. and Ukrainian LEADERSHIP, would have NEVER HAPPENED. It began long before I took office for a Second Term, during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, and has only gotten worse. If the 2020 Presidential Election was not RIGGED & STOLEN, the only thing the Radical Left Democrats are good at doing, there would be no Ukraine/Russia War, as there wasn’t, not even a mention, during my first Term in Office. Putin would never have attacked! It was only when he saw Sleepy Joe in action that he said, “Now is my chance!” The rest is history, and so it continues. I INHERITED A WAR THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, A WAR THAT IS A LOSER FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SO NEEDLESSLY DIED. UKRAINE “LEADERSHIP” HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS, AND EUROPE CONTINUES TO BUY OIL FROM RUSSIA. THE USA CONTINUES TO SELL MASSIVE $AMOUNTS OF WEAPONS TO NATO, FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UKRAINE (CROOKED JOE GAVE EVERYTHING, FREE, FREE, FREE, INCLUDING “BIG” MONEY!). GOD BLESS ALL THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE HUMAN CATASTROPHE! President DJT

carib, the funder is a former republican congressman living in the USA

//

then maybe he/they should provide an explanation as to why they are based in austria, and not in the usa.

considering the sensitive nature of politics.

most people dont want people from other countries to meddle in local politics.

carib, a server might be based elsewhere
//

it's just a twitter account, where one has the option to state whatever country you want. it doesnt matter where your server is based, you had the option to state whichever country you wanted.


and now musk had now intervene, and make these ACTUAL locations public, because of all the accounts that have been pretending to be someone they are not.

location (that i choose): usa
content: maga
actual location (new feature): north korea

11-23-25  carib

They are USA based (the funder is a former republican congressman living in the USA). a server might be based elsewhere, for a number of good reasons.
Bottom line: BS argument.

carib, I was referring to the "republicans against Trump" site.

i see. but these guys used to mislead people, by making it appear they were usa-based.. even asking for $$.

in their location, they wrote "United States", which is false, misleading.

they should have said "austria".. then i would agree with you.

carib, i think musk retaliated by taking over nm's X account, after the 2024 elections.. because nm blocked X in vz..

and that was nm's last post, actually.

so, obviously, the fact that nm's account is now based in the usa, has more to do with musk than with nm himself :-))

Carib, free speech was replace by "it is free to speak", and next step, no need to speak anymore, your AI will do it for you :-(

11-23-25  carib

Victor: this only indicates there is no longer "free speech" in the USA, because there is no longer rule of law, under Trump 2.

X's new country-of-origin feature shakes MAGA and Democrat circles as many 'US' accounts revealed to be foreign-run

...

“At this time thousands of MAGA-aligned influencer accounts and large political pages that claim to be based in the U.S. are now being investigated and exposed with many of them traced to India, Nigeria, and other countries,” a news aggregator page on X noted.

It wasn't just on the MAGA side. An account going by ‘Ron Smith’ whose bio claims he's a ‘Proud Democrat’ and ‘Professional MAGA hunter’ is operated out of Kenya. The account has over 52,000 followers.

‘Republicans against Trump’ an anti-Donald Trump page on X, which tries to push politics against MAGA, was reportedly operating out of Austria. While the location now shows US, X notes that the account location might not be accurate due to use of VPN. “The Anti-Trump account “Republicans Against Trump” which 1M followed has been identified as a non-American from Austria and is currently using a VPN to hide their location,” a page said, making note of this.

‘Republicans against Trump’ has over 978,000 followers.

On a side note, an account going by ‘Mariana Times’, with over 78,000 followers, which posts pro-Israel content has been found to be based out of India.

People within the MAGA orbit have also reacted to this new feature. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna wrote on X from her personal account, “All of these pretend “pro-America” accounts that were pushing infighting within Maga are literally foreign grifters. I’m telling you, the foreign opp is real and so are the bot accounts.”

Alexis Wilkins, FBI director Kash Patel's girlfriend, also added, “I hope that everyone sees, regardless of their specific reason, that the enemy is outside of the house. The people posing as Americans with big American opinions but are actually operating from a basement across the world have one common goal - to destroy the United States. We have our issues, but we really can’t allow them to succeed.”

Most Certain Indicator:

The most certain indicator is the scheduled U.S. State Department designation of Venezuela's "Cartel de los Soles" (allegedly led by Maduro regime officials) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), effective November 24, 2025. This legal step—publicly notified on November 16 and reaffirmed in recent briefings—is irreversible without congressional override (unlikely given bipartisan support) and explicitly unlocks expanded U.S. authorities for strikes on Venezuelan soil, asset seizures, and covert actions under the FTO framework, building on 21 prior maritime strikes that killed 83+.

Unlike speculative leaks or maneuvers, this is a locked-in bureaucratic process with transparent timelines, directly tying drug trafficking accusations to regime change options (e.g., targeting military infrastructure).

It substantiates high pendency by providing the "force multiplier" for escalation, as noted by four U.S. officials, while remaining non-kinetic until invoked—making it the most reliable tell of intent without ambiguity

Venezuela’s authoritarian President Nicolás Maduro has tightened his security arrangements as he holds carefully choreographed public appearances to rally support in the face of potential US military action.

Recent public appearances — including a Caracas rally last weekend and a televised event with grassroots supporters on Wednesday — have been announced at the last minute, with Maduro appearing alongside lower-ranking party members in front of selected crowds of public sector workers and members of his Socialist party’s apparatus.

Unofficial/Clandestine Activity Already Started?


Yes, with high confidence. Trump authorized CIA covert ops (intel collection, sabotage prep, psy-ops) to force Maduro out, per reports.

Assassination officially denied, but ops could pave way for broader campaign. The oil plant explosion raises sabotage suspicions, fitting CIA patterns. Posts speculate US Special Forces already deployed for Maduro takedown.
