Pentagon Pizza, #Polymarket 's money

When war signals are priced by open data
During the Cold War, Soviet agents had a secret job:
Counting how many lights were on at the Pentagon late at night, how many cars were parked, how many pizzas were delivered.
The logic was simple:
Want to fight → Work overnight → Only pizza could be delivered at dawn.
On August 1, 1990, a Washington Domino’s delivered 21 pizzas in one night to the CIA, setting a record.
The next day, Iraq invaded Kuwait, and the Gulf War broke out.
Later, people realized it was no coincidence.
Grenada, Panama, Iraq airstrikes, Clinton impeachment...
Before every major action, pizza orders would spike abnormally.
This pattern was later named:
👉 "Pentagon Pizza Index"
When "urban legends" turn into real-time data
In 2024, someone turned this old story into a product.

PenPizzaReport: Monitors real-time foot traffic at pizza shops around the Pentagon via Google Maps

pizzint watch: Gives you a Pizza DEFCON (1–5) war index directly

During the Cold War, spies had to track these things—now—
Anyone can see it by opening a webpage.
Pizza starts to speak
📅 On the evening of June 12, 2025
Pizza shop foot traffic surges, bars unusually quiet
➡️ Hours later, Israel airstrikes Iran
📅 On the evening of June 22
Papa John’s again shows anomalies
➡️ An hour later, Trump announces U.S. airstrikes on Iran nuclear facilities
📅 Early morning of January 3
Pizza DEFCON upgrades
➡️ U.S. military raids Venezuela, captures Maduro
Pizza, once again, wins the news.
But this time, someone turned it into money
A few hours before the operation, three suspicious wallets appeared on Polymarket:

New addresses

Only betting "Maduro will step down before January 31"

No other transaction records

📈 After the operation was announced, these three wallets combined profit:
$630,000
Meanwhile,
👉 The entire market missed the timing by $40 million.
Insider info? Or public information arbitrage?
Later, U.S. media revealed:
The U.S. military discussed this operation as early as Christmas.
One of the wallets:
📅 Created on December 27
Coincidence?
No one knows who is behind the address.
Polymarket on-chain, and the U.S. authorities can't trace it either.
But the question no longer matters.
What truly matters is this:
In the past:

Intelligence = Privilege

Prediction = Insider game

Now:

Information is scattered in open data

Google Maps, on-chain funds, foot traffic curves

Anyone can see it, but only a few will piece it together

While traditional media are still debating "whether to publish,"
the market has already priced it in.
One last sentence (keep your original flair)
When the Pentagon’s appetite becomes humanity’s oracle,
we realize:
The fog of war may not smell like gunpowder,
but perhaps like pizza. 🍕
