Jewish esotericism is the labor union of the magical world. Start doing any Work and a union rep will show up and demand you use his guys.

You'll argue "But they're expensive and their methods are slipshod copies of more advanced stuff"

They'll threaten a strike.
You know how greasy modern labor movements try to steal shine from the Luddites or other historical workers rebellions?

You could be doing Aztec blood magic and a guy would show up to tell you it's union work and they get a cut because Aztecs were the Lost Tribe of Issachar.

Want to see a media conspiracy, based on Biden admin propaganda to smear a GOP governor, come into existence?

If so, follow along. Let’s revisit the media claim that Texas “physically barred” drowning migrants from entering the country.

Another long one ⤵️
Back in mid-January, three people trying to enter the country illegally drowned in the Rio Grande. It happened while Texas & the Biden admin were fighting about security measures.

The Biden admin told the press a lie. The media ran with it, and most never corrected the stories.
The fraudulent story was advanced first by @CBSNews. On January 14, they claimed that the crossers had drowned b/c Texas “physically barred” rescuers trying to help.

The takeaway from CBS was clear: Texas had deliberately killed people, rather than allowing them to be rescued.

Nebudu si z vás dělat srandu, píšete slušně, tak se vám to pokusím vysvětlit. Vysvětluji to jako člověk dlouhodobě a systematicky se zabývající dějinami komunistického hnutí, carského Ruska a Sovětského svazu. Neskromně si dovolím říct, že tady mám velmi pokročilé znalosti.
@RadanBrus @pavelmacek 2/x
Začnu takto: Na rozdíl od mnoha lidí, já rozumím tomu, proč komunistické hnutí vzniklo a proč pro dělníky byly myšlenky Marxe tak lákavé. Upřímně, pracovat v nějaké francouzské manufaktuře v druhé polovině 19. století jediný týden, tak pak pochoduji s rudým praporem.
@RadanBrus @pavelmacek 3/x
Ano, situace (nejen) dělníků byla v té době strašná a v Rusku násobně horší. Z tohoto pohledu dává razantní posun doleva smysl. Nebudu zdržovat ruským vývojem a rovnou přejdu k porevoluční době, kdy se lidé, toliko studující Marxe, dostali k moci.

America and Russia fought a secret battle to control India

Their spies funded Indian parties, manipulated the media and stole secrets

"The whole country is for sale," said one Russian spy

🧵on the fight to influence India Image
For decades, India was a prime target for foreign spies

It was the world's largest democracy and an influential power among developing countries

Both America's Central Intelligence Agency and the Soviet Union's KGB fought to influence India's politics in their favour
It was the Americans who got to India first

After 1947, independent India needed help in setting up its intelligence agencies

It turned to America for support

In 1949, the Intelligence Bureau's Director TG Sanjevi met with the CIA, FBI and State Department in America

Anfang 2024 ist der Absatz von Wärmepumpen eingebrochen.

Ich habe mich im Markt etwas umgehört.

Mich hat überrascht, warum manche Deutsche lieber auf Öl/Gas als auf eine Wärmepumpe setzen.

Ein kurzer THREAD 🧵 Das Bild zeigt ein Balkendiagramm mit der Überschrift "Mission accomplished? Zwei Schritte vor und einer zurück im Heizungsmarkt". Es zeigt die prozentuale Veränderung und absolute Absatzzahlen für verschiedene Heizungssysteme im Vergleich zum Vorjahr im ersten Quartal 2024. Die Systeme sind Öl, Gas, Wärmepumpe und Biomasse. Öl hat einen Anstieg von 27% erlebt, Gas zeigt einen Rückgang von 17%, Wärmepumpen sind um 52% zurückgegangen und Biomasse um 81%. Die absoluten Absatzzahlen sind unten angegeben: 27.500 für Öl, 140.000 für Gas, 46.000 für Wärmepumpen und 4.000 für Biomasse. D...
Ich habe u.a. mit einer Mitinhaberin einer Firma mit knapp 60 Mitarbeitenden gesprochen, die Heizungstechnik installieren.

Das hat sie mir gesagt:
„2023 haben wir so viel Öl- und Gasanlagen verkauft, wie in den letzten Jahren nicht.“

2023 war das Jahr, in dem das neue Heizgesetz kam, das eigentlich Wärmepumpen fördern sollten. Deswegen ist das Zitat bemerkenswert.

Warum kaufen die Menschen lieber Öl- oder Gasheizungen?

Jewish author here, and for years I've used my social media to teach folks about the history of "antisemitism," but I will not be using that term anymore. And to fully explain why, we need to get clear on the history of the word. 1/🧵
Jews facing hate and violence in Europe is as old as the Roman adoption of Christianity, but the term "antisemitism is far more recent. It was first popularized in the 1860’s by Wilhelm Marr, the original redpilled, alt-right racistbro. 2/🧵 Image
In his youth, he fought for minority rights. But after life kicked him in the teeth a bit—a failed revolution, a failed business in Costa Rica, two divorces, one from a Jewish woman, and another Jewish wife who died on him, he decides his WHOLE THING is going to be hating J's. 3/

#BREAKING: A Google Drive containing 200+ pro-terror and how-to documents is being circulated among encampment organizers. 🧵
(1/11) Image
Unsurprisingly, National Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) appears to be behind the Drive; all the files in the drive list Carrie Zaremba as the owner.
Zaremba has been identified by several sources as a spokesperson for National SJP.
SJP is likely behind the campus riots and encampments as well.
(2/11)Image
Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is a group with chapters on hundreds of campuses across the US that promote antisemitism and harass Jewish students on campus. They're a branch of American Muslims for Palestine, which evidence indicates is a reincarnation of the Holy Land Foundation and Islamic Association for Palestine, which were shut down in the 2000s for funding Hamas.

(1/13) When we roll our eyes at MAGA, I think we're often asking the wrong question. Instead of asking: "How can they believe this nonsense," or "how can they follow and support the worst human being ever," I think we should ignore what they say they believe, and even put Trump aside long enough to instead ask: "What IS it about being in MAGA that endears them to it, and makes them so willing to suppress reasoned thought?"
2- Put aside judgmentalism for a minute. There are a lot of answers to the question of what they get out of being part of MAGA. First and foremost is "the need to belong." They can share and do stuff together - it's a brotherhood of purpose. Second is "the need to believe." Some people are wired to believe things, like the "faith" part of religion. AND - let's face it - it's easier to "believe," than to think.
3 - We're often asked if MAGA is a cult. The short answer: YES, it is. A cult is defined by an unusual, unwavering interest or belief in a particular personality or goal, where devotion transcends reasoned thought. When you make a habit of transcending reasoned thought, you can more readily transcend science ... or math ... or facts.

in her "mass rape" hoax documentary Sherlyn Sandberg has a dramatic scene where she asks two proven Zaka hoaxers to show her photos of sexual violence and mutilation. Sandberg withdraws in horror, "oh my god!" But she never actually shows the photos. Why?

Because they're fake:
look carefully how Sandberg withdraws back in horror as she goes "oh my god!" when the Zaka hoaxer repeats the lie about "nails in groins/vaginas". NBC News, the UN and Haaretz saw the same photos, and confirmed it's a lie. CNN, MSNBC, NYT gave this "documentary" glowing reviews Image
also notice how the two Zaka hoaxers have their yellow vests on for the documentary as Sheryl Sandberg tries to launder them as "medical experts". Zaka is an untrained pedophile rape volunteer cult, using dead bodies as props to grift money. From Haaretz:

Los ataques del gobierno a @amparocasar no se entenderían sin el trabajo que ha encabezado desde @MXvsCORRUPCION.

Conociendo desde dentro la organización, sé que es un lugar único para investigar libremente al poder, sin importar el partido. Van algunos trabajos como ejemplo 🧵
El primero y más obvio es el caso de #LaEstafaMaestra. Este trabajo se realizó entre los equipos de @MXvsCORRUPCION y @Pajaropolitico para documentar uno de los esquemas de corrupción más grandes del sexenio de Peña Nieto. Porque nunca callamos como momias
contralacorrupcion.mx/web/estafamaes…
@MXvsCORRUPCION @Pajaropolitico En su versión del sexenio actual, en @MXvsCORRUPCION fuimos los primeros en identificar, documentar y alzar la voz sobre el caso de SEGALMEX, el caso más grande de corrupción que este gobierno tuvo que reconocer después de años de negarlo y atacarnos.

ROCE, ROE, D/E (Simple explanation): Even your kids can understand this!

Meet Ayaan, the Burger seller! 🍔 He launched his biz with 10L, his own money💰 10L is equity.

To expand, he borrowed 5L for a new burger-making machine and shop.

15L is the total capital of his business 💼

Now, Calculating the Debt/equity is simple, since we know the Debt amount (5L) and Equity (10L).

Debt/equity = 5L/10L = 0.5

Ayaan has 0.5X of debt to his equity in his buisness.

In 2024, Ayaan's Burger buisness raked in 8L in revenue!

🎉 After covering costs like ingredients, wages, and ads, he pocketed 2L. 📈 (Basically Revenue - All Business Expenses).

That 2L? It's Ayaan's EBITDA, his earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization! 💰
EBITDA = 2L

You want to invest in burger business. You have three options, 1. Ayaan Burger 2. Gopi Burger 3. Sam Burger

To Compare the Ayaan Burger Shop with other Burger shops (Big & Small) let's calculate Ebitda margins.

Ebitda % = Ebitda/Revenue X 100 Ebitda % = 2L /8L X 100 = 25%

Ebitda is like the heartbeat of a biz, showing its core profit power! 💪Ayaan's Burger hustle?

It's rocking a solid 25% EBITDA margin, proving its strength and success! 📈 #BusinessPowerhouse

As an investor, we will ask Ayaan to show his EBITDA and this will help us to compare with other big and small shops.

Ayaan deducted depreciation & amortization from EBITDA, leaving him with 1.8L in EBIT (earnings before interest & taxes).

📉 When figuring ROCE, we use EBIT as the top number and total capital as the bottom one. 📊

Time to unveil Ayaan's biz ROCE! 🚀 ROCE (Return on Capital Employed) is a big deal, showing how well a company uses its capital to make moolah. 💼💰

Simply put, it's EBIT divided by total capital, then multiplied by 100. Let's crunch those numbers! 📊

Ayaan's biz is on fire! 🔥 With an EBIT of 1.8L and total capital of 15L, his ROCE rocks at 12%! 🚀 That means he's earning a whopping 12% on every rupee he invested.

Israel has done more to prevent civilian casualties in war than any military in history — above & beyond what international law requires & more than the US did in its wars in Iraq & Afghanistan -- setting a standard that will be both hard & potentially problematic to repeat. 🧵
Here (again for all the not so expert ‘experts’) are many of the measures and steps the IDF have taken 👇
1 - Evacuated civilians out of cities to a high % (70-90%) before beginning a full ground invasion in conventional attacks that seek to destroy enemy defenders. The U.S. did not do this in the invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan, Panama, Vietnam Tet Counter offensive (Hue), Korean War (Seoul), Philippines (Manila), nor the attacks during counterinsurgencies campaigns against ISIS such as 2016-2017 Battle of Mosul (civilians initially told to stay), 2017 Raqqa.

Do you remember this video? It went viral in April. It shows a Lok Sabha candidate in Gandhinagar sobbing and complaining that he was "hijacked" by "Amit Shah's people".

His name is Jitendra Chauhan. I tracked him down and a story began unfolding. @scroll_in. 1/10.
Chauhan runs a small painting business in Ahmedabad. This year, he decided to contest in the general elections.

But days after he filed his nomination, he came under pressure to withdraw. He told me it came from BJP MLA Dinesh Singh Kushwah (in pic) and Gujarat police. 2/10. Image
Chauhan alleged he was also stalked and intimidated by Gujarat police officials who told him that 'politics is not your business'.

On April 22, Chauhan withdrew. "I have 3 daughters and I must look after them," he told me. 3/10.

Il Consiglio di Stato ritiene di muoversi a tutela di interessi pubblici di ordine pecuniario, diciamo, in realtà fornisce allo Stato italiano l'ennesima corda con cui impiccarsi
affidando le spiagge a grandi gruppi, stranieri e non, che ne estrarranno valore per portarlo altrove, distruggerà un tessuto microinprenditoriale territoriale che è come l'humus in natura, genera molto più reddito e nasce da appartenenza e conoscenza del territorio #Bolkestein
Ecco perché mi sembra una battaglia da combattere ancora e ancora, anche se sembra ormai quasi persa, con organi interni dello stato e quote di opinione pubblica che remano, incredibilmente, contro un interesse nazionale puro, che una volta ceduto non tornerà mai più #Bolkestein

Beleidigungen und Denunzierungen, aber kein Argument finden, um zu erklären warum Polizisten und Ordnungsbeamte weiterhin oder gar mehr "Kiffer" verfolgen sollen,

wenn uns für solche 👇 Probleme seit JAHRZEHNTEN(!) die Beamten für Kontrollen fehlen ...🤦‍♂️


Das beste und einzige "Argument" versteht aber nicht, dass eine blühende Nutzpflanze mit tödlichen Schusswaffen verglichen wurde.
Und ignoriert vollkommen die Tatsache, dass ein und die selben Ressourcen zur Kontrolle von beiden eingesetzt werden: Beamte.

Gruesome first photo of Texas dairy farm worker who caught bird flu from a cow shows how he suffered bleeding in his eyeballs

The photo shows how the virus caused blood vessels in his eyes to pop, leading to bleeding on the surface of his eyeballs. Patients eyes were red and inflamed in the image due to the infection of H5N1.
The confirmation marks the first instance of the H5N1 virus jumping from mammals to humans - a milestone that is of 'enormous concern' to the World Health Organization.
They said the patient also suffered from a subconjunctival hemorrhage, or bleeding just beneath the conjunctiva, or clear surface covering the white part of the eye.

Your low libido is not a Viagra deficiency.
Thread🧵Image
*Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice*

By now, there are many types of supplements and medications for erectile dysfunctions with things such as Viagra and Cialis being extremely popular.

These work by blocking PDE5 (or cAMP) and thus increasing cGMP levels.

cGMP is important for many things such as vascular tone, our eyesight, regulating ion channels, gut motility, the regulation of neurotransmitters, vasodilation and gluconeogenesis.
It is derived from GTP (guanosine triphosphate) that is used in many pathways such as the ones in protein synthesis, and gluconeogenesis and its formation happens through the following steps:

Hypoxanthine (a purine derivative) -> PRPP (it’s formed by R5P and as a side note, thiamine, riboflavin, cobalamin and tryptophan depend on it) -> IMP -> GMP (or AMP) which then can be phosphorylated by ATP.Image
