I got my old account suspended for a week in Mar 2020 when I described the royalties structure on vaccines and other pharmaceuticals. Even USG gets a cut.

🧵 1/7 If the hostage deal goes ahead, it will be the latest in a series of blackmail deals imposed on Israel over the years to recover kidnapped people or their dead bodies. Here’s a brief history. 👇🏻
2/7 The entire Arab strategy of hostage-taking and blackmail dates back to 1985 with the Jibril Deal, when Israel released 1,150 Palestinian and Arab prisoners, including hardened terrorists, to secure the safe return of three Israeli soldiers. 
3/7 After this the Arabs learnt how to blackmail Israel: in 1996 there was the Fink-Alsheikh Exchange – 123 prisoner bodies for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers, Yosef Fink and Rahamim Alsheikh after they were taken 10 years earlier by Hezbollah.
Patrushev's statement on Romania and the Republic of Moldova is of extreme importance and it is serious that 24 hours after its publication, the Romanian state has not responded.
I want us to understand the context of this statement, because that is the only way to understand its seriousness:
The interview is given in Komsomolskaia Pravda, a former USSR office, Putin's current office, a tabloid publication with a very large audience in the Russian press.🧵👇👇

2/18 So the interview is meant to reach as many people in Russia as possible, therefore it is an indicator that this interview is (ALSO) meant to convey a message to the people.
The interview is about foreign policy, Trump's second term, Ukraine, upcoming peace talks, Romania, Moldova and the European Union. This is an indicator that the interview is (ALSO) for foreign use.
The interview is given by Nikolai Patrushev, Putin's senior advisor, former head of the FSB, former head of the Russian Security Council, still a full member of the latter.

3/18 Patrushev is NOT Peskov nor is he the drunkard Medvedev. He is not a mere mouthpiece. He is an architect of policies, especially those of internal and external security. He is one of the architects of the power structure that Putin now controls.
The fact that Patrushev spoke so trenchantly and harshly means not only that Vladimir Putin considers the approach to be correct, but also that he supports it, and when Patrushev says something and Putin supports it, the statements, the words, materialize into deeds.

Women fall in love with criminals & Psychopaths
Not because of their crime,
Their charm lies in their MINDSET
9 Mindset hacks women fall for:
Not because of their crime,
Their charm lies in their MINDSET
9 Mindset hacks women fall for:
1. Putting yourself first; otherwise, men would prioritize their partner over them, which makes women uncomfortable.
Women think in reverse, believing that this man does not value himself, that he may not be worth enough, and that they should look for someone better.
Women think in reverse, believing that this man does not value himself, that he may not be worth enough, and that they should look for someone better.
2. They exploit women instead of loving them. Women, sadly, prefer guys who are interested in using them above those who adore them.
This is because with love comes stability and safety, which women absolutely loathe; women prefer to fly high.

In 1238, Granada's engineers pulled off the biggest feat in medieval history:
They built a self-sustaining water system 200 meters up a mountain.
But what they created next nearly destroyed physics forever.
Here's the full story: 🧵

While other medieval cities fell to Christian armies during the Reconquista, Granada remained unconquered for over 250 years.
The secret?
The Alhambra Palace - a fortress of such genius engineering that even modern NASA scientists study its systems.

The challenge seemed impossible:
Power an entire city 200 meters above the Darro River without modern pumps.
For context: That's like running water up a 60-story skyscraper using only medieval technology.
The margin for error? Zero.

Recent proposals in quantum gravity have suggested that unknown systems can mediate entanglement between two known quantum systems, if the mediator itself is non-classical. 3/12

What is Ozempic, really?
It is NOT some magical fat-burning pill.
It makes you less hungry and slows your digestion.
You naturally want to eat less. That’s it.
No miracles.

What nearly everyone misses about Ozempic:
The weight loss isn't all fat.
Clinical trials show that up to 40% of the weight you lose is your muscle and bone.
A disaster for your appearance and health.

Meta created React Native. It’s used (with components at least) in their flagship apps: Facebook (iOS, Android), Instagram (Meta Quest), Messenger (desktop).
Google created Flutter. And yet none of their flagship apps use it (Gmail, YouTube, Maps, Calendar).

Google does build a lot of smaller apps with Flutter.
Just odd that Flutter can be used as modules (for a few screens) but Google, for some reason, doesn’t do with major apps.
Food for thought.

Flutter powers more apps than React Native: but more iOS apps are RN than Flutter.
Large-scale case studies published are mostly RN. Flutter case studies are usually smaller apps.

In 2008, Iceland’s economy collapsed.
Everyone expected a disaster.
But instead of bailing out banks, they jailed bankers—and protected their people.
Here’s how Iceland turned its collapse into one of the greatest economic comebacks in history:

Here’s how Iceland turned its collapse into one of the greatest economic comebacks in history:
In 2008, the world was gripped by a financial meltdown.
Iceland, a small island nation with just over 300,000 people, was at the center of the chaos.
Its three largest banks—Glitnir, Kaupthing, and Landsbanki—had debts ten times the size of Iceland’s GDP.

Before the crash, Iceland’s banks borrowed heavily to expand internationally, taking on massive foreign debt.
A booming economy gave way to risky investments and lax regulations.
When Lehman Brothers collapsed in the US, Iceland’s banking system imploded.

I found undeniable proof that the Zodiac constellations are at least 12,000 years old, and that changes everything about our reality and what the mainstream scientific consensus is telling you!
They wanted to hide this proof from the public's eyes by deceiving you with their interpretations and even flooding entire ancient archaeological sites, such as Nevali Çori in Turkey, which is only 40 miles away from Göbekli Tepe.
Every religion is connected to the Zodiac constellations, the stars, and the Great Year, which symbolically spans the 12 ages of the constellations.

And every hero story, like Gilgamesh or Hercules, is connected to the journey of the soul through the 12 ages of man, further divided into four Yugas, seasons, or aeons.
Gilgamesh holding the lion and then fighting the bull symbolizes the soul surviving the Age of Leo (Younger Dryas) and the desertification of the Sahara (6,000 years ago). There is a geophysical event associated with the so-called 'Fixed Zodiac Signs.'

In fact, this relief, which is 4,000 years old, shows the entire journey ending in the Age of Scorpio, as it should—and you’ll see why in my next thread!
This relief, dating back to 2500 BC, tells the story of the Great Year. New life is restored after the flood, represented by the beard of the bull. Gilgamesh and all other life are reborn. Next comes the transition and survival in the Age of Leo, followed by the Age of Taurus. In the last column is Aquarius, which is connected to and ends with Scorpio—all of the fixed Zodiac signs.

Before the Boston Tea Party, there was the Gaspée Affair (1772)—a daring act of defiance where Rhode Islanders burned a British customs schooner.
This was one of the earliest organized rebellions against British authority. Let’s dive in. 🧵🇺🇸 #AmRev

After the French and Indian War, Britain cracked down on smuggling to enforce trade laws. The HMS Gaspée, a British customs schooner, patrolled Narragansett Bay, aggressively targeting smugglers.
The Gaspée’s commander, Lt. William Dudingston, was infamous for stopping ships without cause, seizing goods, and harassing merchants. His aggressive tactics made him deeply unpopular.
