🚨🚨🚨1/8 The EU's transformation into a full-blown dictatorship is now complete. "Die Diktatur" – the arbitrary rule of unelected ideologues crushing dissent and sovereignty. Here's why, with three chilling examples. Buckle up, Europe – this is our new reality. #EUDictatorship #WakeUpEuropeImage
☠️☠️☠️2/8 First: Purely administrative "civil death" sentences. Take the case of Baud – condemned without trial, hearing, or even alleged crime. Just Kallas, the unhinged EU VP, sipping Chardonnay, scrolling YouTube, and deciding she hates your opinions. No rights, no appeal. Straight out of Star Chamber or lettre de cachet playbook. Social annihilation on a whim. 😡Image
👑👑👑3/8 Second: Weaponizing Article 122's "economic emergency" for permanent martial law. Now it's generalized to EVERY issue – against the treaties themselves! Qualified majority voting overrides sovereign states' wills. Neutralized is the Council, last bastion of resistance in this Kafkaesque nightmare. EU Parliament? 80% national political rejects with zero real power. Commission? Fanatical green/open-borders zealots ready to burn Europe down for the sake of their childish ‘ideas'. Dictatorship à la Carl Schmitt: They declare the "emergency" and impose whatever they want. 🔥Image

The Nu'uanu Pali ('High Cold Cliff') Lookout just 7 miles north of Honolulu combines great historical significance with stunning natural beauty. The most momentous battle in Hawaii's tumultuous history occurred here in May of 1795. Image
Image
Image
It was here in the highlands of the Ko'olau Range of central Oahu that Kamehameha, ruler of the island of Hawaii, defeated Kalanikupule, reigning Chief of Oahu and Maui, to achieve unification of the Hawaiian islands. Image
Image
Image
Kalanikupule's warriors were driven off the high cliff, and the battle is known in Hawaiian as the battle of 'kale'leka'anae' - the leaping mullet. An intense and dramatic history to ponder - and a breathtakingly beautiful spot with great views of windward Oahu. Image

Saturn Welcomes Father SUN in his House of Makar (Ruled by SATURN)

तिल (Saturn) + गुड (Sun) = तिलगुड़ is feasted as a mark of Union i.e. Seasame+ Jaggery

Due to grinding/beating of तिल it is also called तिलकुटImage

If the “Holocaust” was fake, it would be illegal to question….

Like it is in most western countries.

🧵 1/17 Image
The allies would have broken the secret Nazi code, but never would have heard anything about a Holocaust..

Which is true…

🧵 2/17 Image
Image
There would be no official order from Hitler to “kill all the Jews.”

Which there isn’t…

Happening Now: Hundreds of protesters are holding a noise demo outside of the Graduate by Hilton Hotel in Minneapolis where ICE agents are reportedly staying. Drums, guitars, pots and pans are in-tune to "fuck ICE" and "ICE out" chants. Riot police are currently in the lobby.
A dozen or so University of Minnesota Police officers wearing riot gear and holding batons have been standing in the lobby of the Graduate Hotel where a noise demonstration against ICE is happening. The main protest is done but dozens are still making noise.
Last Friday, over 1,000 protesters visited two hotels in downtown Minneapolis equipped with loud noise makers, in an attempt to disrupt the sleep of any ICE officers who may be staying in the hotels. ~30 people were arrested in a large police operation.📽️

As someone writing a book on Epstein’s crimes, I try and validate all claims I hear, and only talk about them when I’ve proven or disproven them.

I’ve not yet commented on Sascha Barros/Riley’s claims because they are harder than most to verify.

Here is where I’m at:
2/24

First, I believe Sascha has absolutely experienced abuse.

In investigating these cases, you do learn to hear that pain in a victims voice.

But, due to the nature of trauma, experiencing abuse and accurately retelling it, are not always the same thing.
3/24

Let’s start with what’s clear:

Sascha’s claims about being adopted in the late 1970s by William Kyle Riley, are accurate.

Sascha also has done military service, although I did have trouble tracking down some specific claims about that service. Image

Need mask mods to improve fit? Here are 4 top recs: SHAPE, SHAVE, STRAPS, & STAPLE! I can attest that fit test scores usually go up with these mods.

Adding a 5th: STICK! Keep reading for tricks with tape, then come back to @ParentMishmash's thread below for the other recs. 🧵
A strip of double-sided fashion tape can be placed inside the mask along the nosewire; this is normally not needed for masks with nosefoam, but can be VERY helpful for masks without it-- such as bifolds, Breatheteqs, etc. Or if having to remove the nosewire for an MRI.
Brands to look for: Hollywood, Fearless, Masktite. I've used them all, they're very similar. Hollywood strips are cheapest of these on the A-place.

1).
„[...] there is a logic to @JDVance's combative stance. @VP clearly understood what @ICEgov means to @realDonaldTrump's base. Image
2).
For MAGA America, ICE is an instrument for cleansing violence. Visit ICE social-media accounts and you’ll see, again and again, videos of armed force against unarmed individuals, against a soundtrack of pumping music.

[...]
3).
Rarely do these videos present a situation that couldn’t be managed with a couple of plainclothes officers bearing holstered sidearms. The point is to prove that the fearsome power of the American state is being wielded by righteous MAGA hands against despised MAGA targets.

Again, during such a historic time, where millions of Iranians have been marching for weeks throughout Iran, demanding an end to the Islamic Republic and chanting for the Crown Prince @PahlaviReza, Azizi continues to smear Iranians and the genuine opposition.

Read on why: Image
He makes several false statements, one being that this is the “first time” Iranians chanted for an opposition leader abroad.

In reality, Iranians have been chanting for the Crown Prince for years in ever increasing numbers and frequency, and this is properly documented and something you’d expect this “academic” to know.Image
Aziz also continues on to make other false remarks, such as suggesting the Crown Prince does not have a follow up plan.

Again, there is clear evidence to the contrary, as the Crown Prince and the millions who support him have set up various mechanisms of change, preparations and procedures for the road ahead.

No other opposition even remotely comes close to such organization, massive support, and preparation.Image

23 New / Newly Specific Allegations Sascha Riley Alleges - THIS IS PART 2

J6 co-conspirators… Think about it… They had to follow him. Image
1.Donald J. Trump entered the room immediately after armed men assaulted and shot a girl in the bed, and Sascha was threatened that he’d be shot too if he didn’t comply with “the next person” who entered. Sascha identifies that “next person” as Trump.
2.Donald J. Trump sexually assaulted Sascha after that killing, and Sascha used a wooden tent stake as a weapon during the assault, describing the act and the immediate aftermath (airlift).

I read everything Dexter Filkins writes and so should you. His profile of Marco Rubio is no exception. I'll share a few highlights in this thread: Image
During the campaign I said J.D. Vance seemed like the sort of populist redneck a gaggle of South African tech bros might cook up in a Silicon Valley laboratory. Almost AI-generated. Anti-charismatic. Awkward in the extreme. And a hard sell absent the Trump juggernaut. Well, lookee here. Vance is not "a guy's guy" like Rubio. Trump thinks he's a bit weird, a bit wussy, and highly unlikeable. He even has buyer's remorse picking Vance as VP. The Maduro op and the past and future military action Iran show Marco's stock is up, J.D.'s is down. Vance gets to own the mess in Minnesota. Rubio gets to be viceroy of Caracas.Image
Here's a little something special from Sen. Mike Rounds, who not only confirms Rubio's call to his former Senate colleagues at the Halifax Security Forum last November, but emphasizes that the Dmitriev-Witkoff plan was really the Dmitriev plan: "... we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one of our representatives." Indeed. And it was laundered, Rounds might have added, through a gullible press corp, which relied on Dmitriev, Witkoff and Kushner as sources (this when Witkoff played an active role in deceiving the same press corp about supposed daylight between Trump and Netanyahu on striking Iran) and didn't bother asking why the Secretary of State/NSA or CIA director were written out of a coalescing U.S. deal with Russia. Those sorts of things demand inter-agency buy-in. Instead, amateur diplomats made an end-run around the actual diplomat, and Rubio got his retaliation in by letting a group of bipartisan legislators do it for him. He then initiated a de-Russification process of Dmitriev's 28-point plan in Geneva, and lo and behold it's now a Ukrainian-coauthored 20-point plan, certified by Witkoff and Kushner and Trump in successive rounds in Florida. The Russians will inevitably reject it and more or less have already. This was very well played.Image
