By weaponizing or carelessly weaponizing painful information, you re-open trauma in those already carrying it — and that recurring violation is one of the under-acknowledged engines keeping modern society emotionally arrested and socially dysfunctional. Pattern that is structurally useful to a society that quietly prefers to remain emotionally crippled and controllable.”

Societal emotional dysregulation refers to a widespread, collective pattern where large segments of a population (or society as a whole) struggle to modulate intense emotions, maintain balanced responses to stressors, and return to states of calm connection after threat or activation. It's not merely millions of individuals happening to have personal emotional dysregulation at once — though that contributes — but rather a systemic, feedback-loop dynamic at the cultural, institutional, and nervous-system level that keeps the collective nervous system biased toward threat, polarization, reactivity, and shutdown.

This phenomenon draws from trauma studies, polyvagal theory, collective trauma frameworks, and observations of social regression. When societies experience repeated or layered stressors (pandemics, economic precarity, political polarization, climate anxiety, ongoing structural violence, information overload via outrage-optimized media, historical unresolved harms), the shared autonomic nervous system tilts toward chronic sympathetic dominance (hyper-arousal: anger, fear, blame, urgency) or dorsal vagal collapse (hypo-arousal: numbness, cynicism, withdrawal, learned helplessness). Ventral vagal safety/co-regulation — the state needed for trust, nuance, cooperation, long-term thinking — becomes harder to access or sustain at scale.

The SIT report submitted to the Assam Govt points to interactions between Elizabeth Colburn Gogoi and Pakistani national Ali Tauqeer Sheikh (ATS).
ATS is ex chief executive of LEAD Pakistan, linked with policy and strategic influence networks operating out of Pakistan.

Story Time!! Gather in!!
Today I share the story of the Commander of @GimliDivision. This is a translated version of what was published in October 2024 by 117 Heavy Mechanized Brigade.
A Hero’s Story:
On the eve of the full-scale invasion, Serhii was working abroad as a long-haul truck driver. He had traveled all over Europe. His career was going very successfully. A path was open for him and his family to move to Canada, but he chose the path of a warrior. Serhii met the beginning of the full-scale war in France.
•“My wife called me — my wife lives in Chernihiv. She called around three or four in the morning. At that time, I was in France. She said the war had started. I said, ‘How can it have started?!’ She said, ‘It has — we’re being shelled.’ I made my decision.
At the beginning there were a lot of guys I knew very well, and they knew me. When I said I was going to Ukraine, about 15 or 20 men agreed to go with me. But when, on the third day, the media reported that the enemy had advanced from Sumy all the way to Kyiv, most of the drivers — already 40–50 years old — hesitated.
I told my boss I was leaving. No one went with me, even though everyone had planned to. The boss called me into his office and said, ‘Do you understand that your behavior could ruin my business right now?’ I said, ‘Do you understand that my family is there? My wife is there, my daughter is there, my parents are there, all my relatives are there.’”…/2 🧵

“We could have taken the family to Poland, but I understood what the attitude might be like, and I knew it would be difficult. My daughter asked my wife, ‘Why isn’t Serhii coming?’ She said, ‘He is coming! You understand, it’s a long way to travel.’
The main reason I returned to Ukraine was what I felt inside. There was an inner feeling that I wouldn’t be able to keep living in Europe knowing I had left my parents, my wife, my family behind. No one supported me returning — except my wife. My parents said, ‘They’ll kill you! Stay there. You’ll be shot. They won’t let you through.’”
An offer from his employer to move his family to Poland did not change Serhii’s decision to return to Ukraine. Fellow countrymen and local Poles provided humanitarian aid. Some equipment had to be purchased in stores.
“The Poles treated this situation very well. They supported Ukraine at the beginning.”
The road home to the Chernihiv region across all of Ukraine was not easy.
“That’s where I saw the first strikes. Houses were destroyed. Armored vehicles were standing and moving around, and the guys were already there, ready — with rifles, machine guns, body armor. I made it. Everything was fine. But when I finally arrived to my family, home, to my parents — I realized what horror was happening in the city itself.” …/3

As for what came next, a friend of Serhii’s from the police suggested he contact the administration of the city of Nizhyn. As a result, he began transporting humanitarian goods between regions at a time when other drivers refused to get behind the wheel.
During this period, “Gimli” tried to help the military in any way he could. Around then he met an old friend who was already serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. That became the beginning of a new stage in Serhii’s life.
“A friend called and asked if I was home. He asked if I had returned or if I hadn’t left yet. I said I had returned. He said, ‘Good man. We’re coming to you.’ I said, ‘To who — to me?’ He said, ‘We mobilized добровільно (as volunteers), we’re coming to your city.’
The 30th Separate Rifle Battalion was being formed. Many were from Chernihiv region, many from Sumy region. I delivered humanitarian aid to them while they were stationed outside the city, and then they moved into Sumy region.
The first time I came to them, I already understood I would probably join them. The second time I came — it was the final decision. I just didn’t know how to tell my wife. Right before leaving, I told her I had made the decision: I would go serve with Andriy — my brother-in-arms — in Sumy region.” …/4

I want to commend this post, because it is what I have been trying unsuccessfully to get across for decades. Up until the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, climate change had been treated, as only part of a much bigger ecological crisis. The big picture.
1/🧵
1/🧵
The reason climate change was separated from the test of the ecological crisis, was it was wrongly thought that there would be a quick agreement, on phasing out fossil fuels, as had happened, with CFCs causing the hole in the ozone layer, at the Montreal Protocol in 1987.
2/
2/
However, with hindsight, it has become clear, that plotting politicians only did this, at the behest of fossil fuel companies, to they could invent climate change denial, which never existed, in 1992, then to falsely claim that the only problem was climate change.

📦 February 2026 deliveries: INSANE.
In just the first few days:
➡️ ~19 MILLION ounces taken physically.
That’s nearly ALL of last February’s deliveries — in under a week.
Even more telling: ~98% of open interest stood for delivery.
Buyers don’t want paper. They want REAL METAL.

📊 Now look at March 2026:
• Open Interest: ~80,500 contracts
• That’s OVER 400 MILLION ounces demanded
• COMEX registered (deliverable) silver: ~103 MILLION ounces
Do the math.
If even 25–30% stands for delivery like we’re seeing now…
👉 THERE ISN’T ENOUGH SILVER.

In December 2024, the BBC asked me why Ukraine didn’t try to bring a Russian general accused of chemical weapons use before an international court.
My answer was simple:
There is no functioning court.
There is a battlefield — and it reaches Moscow.

Hours before that interview, Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov — head of Russia’s NBC troops — was killed outside his Moscow apartment.

One failed turbine at Scroby Sands exposes the scale of the cost of decommissioning offshore wind farms. And there’s precious little cash being set aside to cover it. A thread (1/n)
Scroby Sands is a relatively small 60MW offshore windfarm. In 2023 one of the 30 turbines caught fire and owner RWE has decided to decommission that single turbine (2/n)
In the accounts up to end 2024, we can see the wind farm is losing money, with pre-tax losses of £4.7m, despite earning ROC subsidies worth £9.8m, or nearly 48% of revenue (3/n)

A 1910 snapshot of a tragedy in motion, Bosnian Muslim families leaving Bosnia after the Austro-Hungarian annexation. Not mainly for money, but for identity, fear, and pride. The details are brutal. 🧳📜
Cvijić describes Belgrade station packed before the night train to Thessaloniki. Men rushing, women and kids on the floor, all squeezed into 3rd class. Asked why, the answer is simple, “everyone will move out.” 🚆
He calls it a “special type” of migration. Europe sees economic migration, but he argues this one is mostly psychological, a state of the soul after occupation, then annexation, under Christian rule and bureaucracy.
Anika Sweetland, Reform UK’s made up climate guru.
Introducing Anika Sweetland (@anika_climate), Reform UK’s new ‘climate expert’. Spoiler: she isn’t one.
She just appeared on GBNews with @LeeAndersonMP_:
x.com/anika_climate/…
It’s clear she’s trying to PR herself in to credibility. Because her credentials don’t do that.
She calls herself a climate scientist, but her academic credentials are wholly lacking. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Climate Studies from the University of Western Australia that she received in 2016 (the degree is now no longer offered). And since then she’s not studied or published work. Until now.
No MA, no PhD, but a sudden claim to be a scientist. That’s like having a pre-med and calling yourself a doctor.
Her only published work is with the “UK think tank Reform and Repeal” and World Prosperity Forum.
That’s her only citation.
Note, there is an actual academic called Annika Sweetland in the field of psychiatry, it’s not her.
Reform and Repeal is a Reform UK organisation that is so amateur it’s got 2 discussion papers on it and hasn’t even bothered to fill out its Privacy or Legal notice info on its website.
reformandrepeal.co.uk
The World Prosperity Forum was set up this year, a creation of the lobby group The Heartland Foundation:
worldprosperityforum.com
Neither of these organisations can be considered academic institutions.
They are Reform UK lobby organisations.

She also claims to have been a climate scientist for the Australian Government. There’s no evidence. She was once a Graduate Research Officer (in 2014, fresh from studying) for the Gascoyne Development Commission which presented this to the Parliament of Western Australia:
parliament.wa.gov.au/publications/t…
She claims she was an energy policy advisor to the Australian government, there is zero evidence of this (or should we say net zero evidence?) and again, no publications bearing this out.

Looking at her LinkedIn, her only entries were as a content creator and events manager. She’s since deleted it, trying to claim it never existed:
x.com/ceist8/status/…
We do know that she also had a dabble in pageants, being named Miss British Empire Photogenic. That’s a thing, apparently.
She also started and seemingly abandoned a course in Psychology.
