🚨Exclusive Hamas files tell the untold story of a KGB-style system for infiltrating and controlling the entire humanitarian aid industry in Gaza, including international NGOs. 🧵

Through designated “guarantors,” Hamas steered humanitarian projects while NGOs stayed silent about Hamas’ abuse.

The details you weren’t supposed to see >>Image
A “guarantor” is a Hamas-approved NGO liaison embedded in all international NGOs in Gaza who must:
✅ Hold a senior post w/the NGO
✅ Be Hamas-affiliated or compliant
✅ Give Hamas access to info on finances & projects
✅ Be subject to surveillance & pressure
✅ Be a local Gazan
>>Image
At least 11 guarantors (out of 55 listed in the Hamas docs) were identified *by Hamas* as having terror links:
🇬🇧 Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP-UK) – Gaza administrative director; member of Hamas’ military wing (Qassam Brigades).
🇬🇧 Human Appeal – Gaza director; Hamas-affiliated, held multiple management positions in the movement.
🇵🇸 CIVITAS – Executive director; pledged allegiance to Hamas during the First Intifada, active in Da’wa networks (responsible for recruiting new Hamas members)
🇮🇹 CESVI – Representative body member; affiliated with Hamas.
🇺🇸 International Medical Corps (IMC) – Gaza administrative director; Hamas supporter (Da’wa “captain” rank).
🇳🇴 Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) – Gaza administrative director; Hamas supporter, Gaza government officer (rank of captain).
🇵🇸 El-Baraka Association for Charitable & Humanitarian Work – Gaza director; former Hamas member.
🇺🇸 Rahma Worldwide – Gaza director; currently Hamas-affiliated.
🇫🇷 Handicap International (Humanity & Inclusion) – Gaza director; Hamas-affiliated.
🇵🇸 El-Amal Rehabilitation Society – Executive director; employee of Hamas-run Gaza government.
🇺🇸 Catholic Relief Services (CRS) – Gaza director; affiliated with the PFLP (U.S./EU-designated terror organization).

(THREAD) - The Silver Squeeze Setup Is Quietly Forming. The Fuse Is About to Lit.
The calm you see right now is not stability, it’s compression before detonation.

1/11
We may be entering the most critical phase in silver since 2011.
All the core ingredients of a physical squeeze event are forming beneath the surface.
This isn’t guesswork, the data is screaming.
If this pressure escalates, the move won’t be slow… it will be vertical.
Here’s what’s happening 👇
#SilverSqueezeImage
2/
On Day 1 of December COMEX deliveries, 7,330 contracts stood for delivery, requiring 36.65M oz of physical silver.
Today, another 550 contracts were added.
Total deliveries now: 8,855 contracts = 44.275M oz demanded.

That’s:
1) 30% of Registered silver
2) 44% of realistic free-float

And we’re only Day 3 of December.
3/
At the same time, real metal left the vault, not paper repositioning, but physical withdrawal.
44% of free float withdrawn
Zero added to Registered.

⚡️russian cosmonaut oleg artemyev was removed from the Crew-12 mission following suspicions of attempted espionage against SpaceX.

Thread ⬇️ Image
According to media reports, the russian tried to photograph the company’s engines and internal documentation. Being removed from the flight several months before launch indicates the seriousness of the incident

This is an unprecedented case within international space cooperation
roscosmos attempted to downplay the scandal, explaining artemyev’s removal as a “transition to another role.” However, such excuses only strengthen suspicions that this involved industrial espionage.

The russian space sector is experiencing a deep crisis.

🧵 THREAD — When the system starts defending the indefensible, you know silver is waking up

1/
We’re suddenly seeing a wave of excuses about silver — the kind that only appear when a market is under real stress. Image
2/
New narrative:
“Silver lost its financial role.”

Interesting timing, considering inventories are bleeding and demand is hitting from both sides.
3/
Another one:
“Gold is for reserve, silver is for usage.”

History never agreed with that.
Markets don’t agree either.

'Breakfast with the Orangutans' at the Singapore Zoo is a great and fun experience. 'Breakfast with the Jumping Crocs' in Darwin, Australia, is fun, too - but there's a hitch: You have that gnawing concern that you could be one mishap away from being breakfast. Image
Image
The saltwater crocodiles (aka 'salties') are the largest living reptiles on the planet - males grow over 20 ft/6m and can weigh over a ton. Image
Image
Image
Image
Salties have one of the strongest bites in the animal kingdom. But guess which other Australian denizen surpasses them in bite power per unit of body weight? The Tasmanian devil - the world champion in BFQ (Bite Force Quotient) = bite force per unit of body weight. Image

#Russia's balance of payments for Q3 '25 show #exports down on '24 but only by 4%, at $304.5 bn.

Current a/c #surplus $30 billion, down by $19 bn, caused by rise in service #imports.

#Ukraine has current a/c #deficit of $25 bn on lower volumes of trade. Exports just $28 bn.
At a macro level, the most important number is the difference between exports and imports. #Russia has pulled in surpluses every year since 1999.

In any case, total volumes of #Russian trade also haven't really shifted since 2023 (2022 was a record year given oil prices).
Yet to see full year data incl on impact of #US #sanctions on Russian #oil. But it's hard to see complete reversal of Russia's accumulation of reserves, which recently rose above $700 bn for first time.

Btw, that's one reason Putin may ultimately compromise on frozen assets.

I have raised my daughter so antithetical to the commands of Progress scripture. And I am very proud of that. She is going to dominate in this next chapter!💪🦁🇺🇸

All the stripping of agency and championing of failure will leave the Lost Generation (Equity troop) forever behind.
I'm not implying you can't raise a lion without taking them to church. But unquestionably, my little girl was rooted to/molded by the foundations of Christianity. Via a traditional church and not a rainbow playground for feminists. x.com/Theo_TJ_Jordan… x.com/Theo_TJ_Jordan…
I would never let my beloved be destroyed by that ideological poison. I raise my children; my decisions govern their fate. 🦁 Welcome back to reality! I would never let my kids be raised by Hillary Clinton or Taylor Swift.🧙‍♀️✊️🦄🌊

Foreign Minister Wadephul: The 🇩🇪 Government is very proud that, together with our friends 🇵🇱&🇳🇴, we are able to put together another major package – one that is essential to supporting 🇺🇦. $500 million is a substantial sum, and Germany is contributing 200 million of that. 1/ Image

And today we stand united in a #NATO that is strong and capable of taking action. These two Allies in particular show that, together, we are determined to actively counter Russian aggression. Indeed, we, too, welcome all talks conducted with the aim of ending this war. 2/
But at present we see absolutely no serious willingness on the Russian side to enter into any form of negotiations. That is why it must be clear where we stand. We stand firmly at Ukraine’s side. We are ready and we are able to support Ukraine for the long term. 3/

Residents!!!

Quick Interpretation of a CBC in 30 Seconds

1️⃣ Hemoglobin (Hb)

Low Hb = Anemia → First question: Is it microcytic, normocytic, or macrocytic?

Microcytic (MCV < 80)
→ Iron deficiency, Thalassemia, Chronic disease

Normocytic (MCV 80–100)
→ Acute bleed, Hemolysis, CKD, early anemia of chronic disease

Macrocytic (MCV > 100)
→ B12/folate deficiency, MDS, liver disease, drugs (MTX, hydroxyurea)

#medtwitter
#MedEd
2️⃣ WBC Count Pattern

Neutrophilia

Infection (bacterial), steroids, stress, smoking
Lymphocytosis

Viral infections, CLL
Eosinophilia

Allergies, parasites, Hodgkin lymphoma
Leukopenia

Viral infections, autoimmune, drugs (chemo), marrow failure
3 . Platelets

Thrombocytopenia (<150k)

ITP, sepsis, DIC, drugs (heparin → HIT), marrow infiltration
Thrombocytosis (>450k)

Iron deficiency, inflammation, splenectomy, MPN (ET)

Red flag: Platelets + anemia + schistocytes → Think TTP/DIC/HUS
