So to recap…
Athana Mentzelopolous investigated the “irregularities” and was told to shut the investigation down…
But it was so bad, she went to the board who then said it to go to the police.
And then she was fired.
But she didn’t stop.

She then filed for wrongful dismissal and included her findings in the hopes that someone in government would do the right thing.
They didn’t.
Instead, they dragged her name through the mud.
Then the judges report validated her concerns.

Still no public inquiry.
The government has spent how much in taxpayers dollars to continue to fight Athana in court.
Then two podcasters from Ontario and Quebec were apparently hired to conduct what a judge called a “sandblasting” campaign to destroy Athana’s will to continue.

The United Nations need not replace UNRWA with another transition plan. It merely needs to treat these refugees like every other.

in 70 years, UNRWA hasn't found anyone jobs or homes, it has a bigger budget than UNHCR, and has "declared" the fifth generation of descendants as refugees, something that is unheard of anywhere else.

Cynicism is the ultimate problem of modern life, not fear.
Armchair experts and new leaders always blame fear but
Armchair experts and new leaders always blame fear but
Fear isn’t the cause of cynicism.
Moral superiority is: I know things are bad and I know the problem and I know things are totally unfair so I know it’s also useless to try and all others’n attempts are wrong and will be pointless as well.
That doesn’t come from fear,

It comes from a rampant and categorically dismissive ego, from superiority not fear.
Fear is overplayed. Very few people are experiencing real fear; they are mostly poorly managing their mind and falling into basic cognitive traps.
That’s not the same as fear.

🇺🇸 Trump says AI data centers will be one of the biggest drivers of future jobs and economic growth. He argues states that attract them will gain billions in investment and tax revenue. 
Trump claims New York's policies are pushing AI data center projects to states like Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Alabama, creating more jobs and investment there instead.
He also warns the U.S. could lose its AI and tech advantage to China if major AI infrastructure projects continue moving elsewhere.

A thread on China's US holdings --
Bottom line upfront: this chart is my best guess as to China's true holdings at SAFE and the CIC (~ $ 2 trillion in US assets). The state commercial banks have additional dollar assets, but they aren't as easy to find in the US data

This is of course the set of numbers that many use -- the Treasuries (and Agencies) that are held in US custodians and register as "China" in the monthly TIC data release. Those now well under $1 trillion/ well below China's traditional allocation to safe US assets

This is closer to what I think China's true allocation to relatively safe US assets is ( a bit over 40% of total reserves). SAFE and the CIC also have a risk tranche that includes US equities (it is known as they say)

Set aside the ideology. Consider just the habits of mind shown by two presidents of anthropology's learned society, Princeton's Carolyn Rouse & UCLA's Akhil Gupta regarding his claim: Anthropology seeks "to challenge the culturally dominant commonsense of capitalist consumerism."
The Vanderbilt Report cites Gupta's claim with unimpeachable accuracy. Their ellipsis omits a list of social sciences; they say the italics are theirs. There's nothing misleading or inaccurate. Yet Gupta lies & says they misquoted him. Then Rouse herself repeats that obvious lie.
Rouse says the report took the quote of context. Yet Gupta's presidential address abstract is like RW parody: Honoring BLM & open borders, anthropology needs a racial reckoning, must oppose US capitalism abroad, eliminate 'white-norming,' & refound itself as a decolonial project.
Magnesium glycinate. Tart cherry juice. Ashwagandha. Raw honey. L-theanine before bed.
Do this in the exact sequence for 30 consecutive days without changing anything.
Here is why the order matters for the ADHD brain.
Do this in the exact sequence for 30 consecutive days without changing anything.
Here is why the order matters for the ADHD brain.
1. Magnesium glycinate 300mg first.
Not a sleep supplement. A nervous system intervention.
Activates the GABA receptors that allow the ADHD brain to shift out of alert mode.
Take it 45 minutes before bed on an empty stomach.
Check the label for magnesium bisglycinate chelate. That is the only form that reaches the brain.
Never take it with calcium or iron. They block absorption.

2. Ashwagandha 300mg at the same time.
Directly reduces cortisol while magnesium activates the GABA brake.
Cortisol and melatonin cannot rise simultaneously.
Ashwagandha handles the cortisol. Magnesium handles the receptor.
Two mechanisms working together before anything else arrives.

1/ Ukraine's dominance of the 'lower sky' and its widespread use of 'waiting drones' has made large-scale Russian vehicle assaults virtually impossible. A Russian video shows numerous Ukrainian drones sitting on a road, waiting to carry out attacks on Russian forces. ⬇️
2/ Commenting on the video, the Russian medical warblogger 'Visiting Doc' dedicates it "to fans of tank breakthroughs and brutal assaults" and comments: "Low-altitude superiority is one of the main reasons why evacuation becomes a nearly impossible task."
3/ The tactic is used by both sides, but Ukraine's current dominance in drones has made it the principal user of the tactic. Both vehicles and individual soldiers are regularly targeted by 'waiters'.
Dale Partridge is continuing the pattern of parroting Stone Choir slop a year or so after it comes down the plumbing and into the septic tank. Dale equates the absence of a blessing upon Ham with a curse. He then makes an argument similar to Corey Mahler’s:
that God cannot (or would not) curse an individual by condemning a single child while leaving the rest of that individual’s lineage uncursed. (even, according to both Dale and Mahler, beyond the time of Christ's death/resurrection and until the end of time.)
"It would be extremely strange for God to leave one branch of humanity unaddressed".
Mahler seems to believe that it is not possible for God, through Noah, to punish Ham’s sin by placing a curse upon Canaan rather than upon Ham’s other children. Yet this is fully within God’s sovereign authority, and Scripture provides example of God bringing consequences for a father’s sin upon one child while showing favor to another.
2 Samuel 12:24 says that Solomon was loved by God, despite the declaration that “the sword shall never depart from thine house.” Earlier, in 2 Samuel 12:14, David’s infant son is struck by God and subsequently dies as punishment for David’s sin. Solomon nevertheless received extraordinary favor from God despite his father’s sin, turning away from God only later through his own disobedience. David’s lineage, in accordance with the Davidic Covenant, remained preserved.

I believe @dalepartridge is also wrong with regard to his assertion that this is "the only instance in scripture of a father explicitly blessing some sons and saying nothing to another"
Jacob’s selective blessing of Joseph’s family in Genesis 48 exists. Were all the sons in that scenario other than Manasseh and Ephraim presumably CURSED by this action? In fact after this, in Genesis 49, scripture records Jacob addressing and blessing (or prophetically describing) all twelve of his sons.
Ham had already been included when God blessed “Noah and his sons” in Genesis 9:1. Is @dalepartridge really arguing that merely not getting blessed explicitly by Noah REMOVES God's blessing in Genesis 9?
Noah does not even literally say, “Blessed be Shem.” He says, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem,” and then petitions God to enlarge Japheth.

@dalepartridge Of course, @dalepartridge has a history of making broad inaccurate claims about scripture.
1/ Crypto scammers have been targeting UK X users for the past few months with hundreds of scam adverts showing AI pictures of UK political and media figures. However, in the latest campaign, they've inadvertently given away that they're almost certainly Russians or Ukrainians.
2/ The campaign always involves AI-generated pictures of people like @Nigel_Farage and Emily @maitlis in situations of conflict and tension, with a cryptic subject lines. They're posted from blue-tick accounts ostensibly located around the world, but using VPNs.
3/ Hundreds of throw-away accounts, some registered as long ago as 2010, are being used. These have clearly been bought in bulk from cyber criminals who registered them a long time ago. Combined with the blue ticks and ad spending, some serious money is being invested in this.
