Why Protest?

One thing that puzzles me is why people would continue to protest about the Nick Maduro detainment when so many Venezuelan people are celebrating his capture. The people they're calling victims of trump are throwing parties and celebrating the removal of a dictator. A guy that frames his political opponents and gets them sent to prison so he guarantees his victory, and a guy that tanked the venezualan economy so hard that half of them had to leave the country to stay alive. Well, a lot of things don't make sense to me, even in my little world. 

When cold air touches my skin, my taste pallet changes and I like the taste of sour and salty food, I also like spicy food. Even slightly bitter tasting fruits like cranberries and pickled gherkins taste better to me when it is cold. 

I also like to cook my jacket potatoes in the oven instead of microwave, when you cook jacket potatoes in the oven the heat goes through the potatoes from the outside and makes oils and butter you put on them turn crispy and tasty, you don't get that with a microwave because most of the heat appears inside the potato. When it is cold, I don't worry about heat being applied twice as long because it gets used twice, I can cook all my root vegetables in the oven knowing the heat used by the oven would be used twice because it would seep out of the oven and heat up the air in the kitchen and some of that heat would spread around the home. 

What December 2025 Means To Me

Throughout December there was very little frost in the mornings, the weather was strange for that time of the year in Britain. Some trees were confused and started to open their flowers as if it were spring because roughly in the middle of the month the temperature increased to 10°C during the day time. 

I saw some Iranian men protesting in London a few times. They were holding up the old Iranian flag with the golden lion holding a sword and partially eclipsing the sun on the horizon; it was the flag that identified the nation before the Iamist ayatollah regime took control of the country at the end of the '70s.  They were making their intentions very clear to everyone, they want the regime to end and the king to return. Later I saw the protests were widespread in that country. They were sick of the leader spending all the countries wealth arming militant groups and spreading hate about Israel, the infrastructure of the country has not improved since 1980 and they were now facing very high inflation and supply issues. 

There was also a lot of tension between USA and Venezuela, the USA were demanding suspicious boats identify themselves and then firing missiles at the boats when they didn't respond. They were trying to shut off the drugs entering the country I think. 

Just the other Day I learned that the Americans captured Nick Maduro himself and the venesualan people seemed happy about that. I was given the impression that he sends his opposition candidates to jail so he could fix his terms in power.  He also seized the large service companies like the internet and oil producers and ran them into the ground like a typical communist would. 

Let's keep our chins up for 2026. Happy times for a while? Who knows? Whatever will be, will be.
