THREAD: China just added more fuel under silver 🔥🇨🇳

1️⃣ SHFE silver up +3.07% today
Price pushed to ¥14,488/kg (~$63.83/oz) — China is chasing physical while the West still debates if $60 silver is “too high.”

2️⃣ Vaults keep rising

• SHFE daily change: +38,755 kg
• SGE weekly change: +6,150 kg
China keeps pulling metal into the system — and it’s happening in the middle of a global squeeze.

A reminder the Australian Online Safety Act has been proposed, worked on, consulted on, drafted, re-drafted, had committees & submissions since 2015. Also, several Inquiries that report and receive more feedback from experts & the public.

Gunna need more than "censorship bad".

I can't speak for the UK, who are a) a different system and b) implementing differently, but don't get them confused and please, before you mouth off, maybe consider that the bar is high here, and you should maybe... shut up about it.

Again I note the futility here, because dipshits are amplified and people who actually know what they're talking about shout into the void. However, this is one of the most widely consulted pieces of legislation ever.

-We weren’t just cool — we were cooler than a fresh pack of vinyl records.
-We’d stay out dancing till the bartender started sweeping around our feet, wander home under buzzing streetlights, and still punch in the next day like it was nothing but a groove. Cont.

-Long story short… keeping up with us might require bell-bottoms, disco energy, and a miracle. I miss those days.

@BrockRiddickIFB Don't humiliate the fathers of the Police of Poland.
They will come to Poland and by the vaccine which kills the police of Poland will die but those fathers will make a new force of the Police in Poland by their seeding powers.
That's why the police of Poland love them.

@BrockRiddickIFB It is fully scientific because science says that mankind spread from Africa to the world and the same science makes the killer vaccines to kill the police of Poland and proves that the new seeds all were from Africa.
That's how science works. You shouldn't humiliate it.

Supreme Court hears a euthanasia application by the parents of a child:

Court: this is very very unfortunate. The boy seems to be in a pathetic condition. The bedsores are extremely painful. And when a patient in vegetative state suffers from bedsores means he’s not been looked after well. His hygiene is poor. Bedsores are the end of everything. Now we have waterbeds etc to prevent formation of bedsores. They are extremely painful. Doctors have said in so many words that there is no question of recovery. So he is to remain like this till he is destined to leave.

Court: how do we now move to the next stage?

Counsel: as per the judgement in common cause the next step to be followed by the reference of a secondary board formed by the CMO. But in this case the primary board already had 5 experts constituted by the CMO so it does not require the secondary board reference. The next step is to admit him to a neuro palliative facility where life support will be withdrawn.

Court: to pass over the secondary board reference they (members of the primary board) will need to have people with 5 years experience.

Counsel: yes. Your lordships can even have a committee of experts as per the judgement.

EXPLOSIVE: Biden’s deep state PROVOKED a PREVENTABLE war in Ukraine. In a prank call, Biden’s Europe chief Sloat admits: 1) US knew just a “no NATO” statement from Ukraine would prevent war 2) US blocked it to avoid “rewarding” Russia & bet on Ukraine retaking territory by force.

RARE: This video shows the calm, calculating, no-remorse face of the deep state. Biden’s team bet on Ukraine’s “military success.” It failed for “reasons open to debate” — and they just shrug: “at least we tried.” This is how decisions about mass death are made. Evil.👿

Amanda Sloat is pure Biden world: Biden-appointed Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Europe on the NSC, longtime Obama/Biden State Department official and Europe hand. One of the key architects of Biden’s Europe & Ukraine policy.

🔥 THREAD: The Secret Power of “Shri Rama” Mantra That Most People Don’t Know! 🔱

1️⃣
Did you know?
Chanting “Shri Rama” just 3 times is said to equal chanting the 1000 names of Bhagwan Vishnu.
Yes — ONLY 3 times!
Here’s the hidden reason 👇

2️⃣ Ka-Ta-Pa-Ya-Di System — Ancient Indian Number Science
In this system:

Ra = 2

Ma = 5

So the word “RAMA” = 2 × 5 = 10
And chanting RAMA thrice = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000
The ancients never spoke without meaning. 🔥

3️⃣
This shloka is said to have been revealed by Bhagwan Shiva to Mata Parvati:

“Shri Rama Rama Rameti, Rame Rame Manorame
Sahasranama Tattulyam, Rama Nama Varanane”

Meaning:
“Chanting Rama’s name thrice equals reciting the Vishnu Sahasranama.”

„The House on Wed. easily passed the annual defense policy bill, sending the mammoth, $900 billion measure to the Senate ahead of the year-end deadline.

@michaeldweiss 2).
The measure, known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), passed the lower chamber by a vote of 312-112. Ninety-four Democrats and 18 Republicans opposed the bill.

@michaeldweiss 3).
The NDAA, a traditionally bipartisan bill that lays out defense priorities for the next year, would increase pay for service members, provide some military aid to Ukraine [1], restrict U.S. investment in China and fully repeal sanctions on Syria, among other things.

“We’ll just go on raids when it all kicks off.”
99% of people saying this have no idea how a real raid actually works.

Here's how raids actually work.🧵

Used from the conventional to the guerilla, the raid is another tool in the toolbox of various operations that can be conducted in the field with a squad sized element. With a history that stretches back to the bronze age, the raid continues to be a strong tactic utilized in the battlespace. Raids, sometimes referred to as, “smash and grabs,” are a fast-hitting attack with an underlying objective that does not involve taking and holding any land for a long period. Raids are the bread-and-butter operation of choice of irregular forces such as guerillas, commandos, militias, and other unconventional warfare elements. The raid is centered around the objective, the objective in question can be singular or plural in nature. The objective can be as simple as supply procurement or destruction to the complex world of psychological warfare. While raids can be scaled to almost any size, this article is going to cover a squad sized element.

As usual, little disclaimer right here.

The Tactics of Raiders:

Surprise.

Several tactics are utilized by attacking forces conducting raids in the field. The central thesis behind it all is surprise and speed. It is almost an inverse of an ambush wherein, with an ambush, the attackers await the enemy to enter their attack zone, the aggressing force pushes into a zone of defenders during a time when they are least prepared. The raiding force generally waits for the enemy to be unsuspecting such as attacking right before nautical dawn, during poor weather, or when enemy routines can be studied and exploited. The raiding force, utilizing the element of surprise, is able to leverage a smaller force against a more well armed, manned, or disciplined enemy.

Hit-and-run.

After the attack is concluded and the objective is carried out, the attacking force uses that same speed and fervor used to push in, to egress from the area. Engagements are kept short to prevent the enemy from mounting an effective counterattack. Ideally, if this can be kept under 10 minutes, long firefights with heavy casualties can be prevented, making escape all the easier. The raiding force should weigh the assets and capabilities of the enemy prior to determining their actual attack plans in order to keep their fighting time as short as possible.

Diversionary Tactics.

Particularly during the egress stage of the raid, a raiding force can make use of distractions in the form of false attacks, distraction devices like flashbangs, decoys, and other types of effective psychological tricks to draw the enemy’s attention away from the combat area, the raiding force, and the objective.

Ambush Integration.

Raiders can leverage their smaller unit size and local area knowledge to stage an ambush, particularly while egressing from the area if there is a pursuant force. Ambushes can be used to not only interdict and destroy enemy forces but also slow them down to ensure the raiding force can increase their distance from the enemy (see my article on ambushes).

The newly-reignited debate over Vande Mataram fanned by opportunistic political actors has again dragged a century-old cultural conversation into a culture war. But long before today’s noise, Rabindranath Tagore had already thought deeply about the song.

Thread. 1/20

Vande Mataram began as a poem in Bankim Chandra Chatterjee’s novel Anandamath (1882). Its early life was literary and regional, an invocation to a mother-figure rooted in Bengal, but it quickly became a political war-cry in the anti-colonial movement. 2/20

There should be no debate about the historic impact of Vande Mataram. It played an undeniably gigantic role in the freedom movement. It was an inspiration heard in protest marches, and used as a rallying cry by revolutionaries, students, and volunteers across the country. 3/20
