after murdering a bunch of couriers on some (alleged) drug boats trump now intends to pardon former president of #Honduras Juan Orlando #Hernandez who, in between trafficking at least 400 tonnes of cocaine into the US because he wanted to “shove drugs right up the noses of the gringos”, was the guy who set up the network state city of #Prospera with Peter #Thiel etc. as a “special economic zone”.

> "The zone recently made #Bitcoin legal tender and passed legislation facilitating the issuance of Bitcoin bonds. Próspera’s investors include Silicon Valley heavyweights such as Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen through #Pronomos Capital."

99% chance it’s the Network State/Nerd Reich guys (thiel, andreessen, etc.) up in trump’s ear telling him a cocaine kingpin with whom they founded a fake country deserves a pardon at the same time as they encourage him to murder the poors who actually do the trafficking with the new weapons systems they’re selling him.
