THREAD: What’s Really Happening With the Your Party Funds? 🧵

1/
There’s growing controversy over more than £1.3 million raised for Your Party — and most of it still hasn’t reached the party itself.

2/
Around £800k went into MOU Operations Ltd, a private company created to manage donations.
Another £500k was raised through a separate portal set up under Zarah Sultana’s control — outside the agreed party structure.

3/
After internal resignations, Zarah Sultana is now the sole director of MOU.
That means she alone controls the bank accounts, the funds, and the supporter data.

As said Earlier; This Clearly Looks Like an "Insider Info Job", like #Mapusa Dacoity, a month back.

What is worrisome is from where GODA (Goa Outwitting Dacoits Association) is getting the INFO from?

Do they identify the Target and then PLANT their man/woman inside the premise?

Guess PRIMARY RECCE is get done by Hundreds of so called "Vendors" selling Bedsheet/Chairs/Collecting Scraps etc.

SECONDARY RECCE is guess done by the Gang members of GODA itself, both of Premises and Perimeter. Guess at least Twice.

And then, They Plant their Man/Woman in ther

Like a House-Help / Maid etc.
Since No one does the #GoaPolice Verification (which is now available online on App) and she/he has access to entire Premise.

Also, Both #Mapusa and #Dacoity were at "Nix Goenkars" so the MOLE must be understanding Konkani/Marathi.

Relatively long Review of Sunborn 10th anniversary Philharmonic Concert 2025 edition. I am by a large margin not a Musician, yet I refuse to admit I know absolutely nothing about Instruments and concerts, so take this as a grain salt.

1. Concert Program
The Program is in a relatively similar format to the Concert 2023, with this time having first part being GFL suites and 2nd part being GF2 compared to 2023, first part being gf and later part being PNC.

Some suites also made a return, but we are performing with full Tradition orchestra in a closed venue with no electrical compared to 2023, same suites had a different interpretation (Ill come to this later). Also they didnt print a Playbill(????)

📌 Thread: Vedanga Jyotisha — The Cosmic Science of the Vedas.

1️⃣
🌟 Vedanga Jyotisha — one of the six Vedangas — is not “astrology” in the modern sense…
It is the ancient Indian science of TIME itself.
A discipline that aligned cosmic rhythms with human actions, ensuring every ritual echoed the harmony of the universe.

2️⃣
🕉️ In the Rigvedic era, our ancestors already possessed highly advanced astronomical understanding.
They observed the sky not just with curiosity, but with mathematical precision.
Their goal: to decode the dance of the Sun, Moon, Nakshatras & seasons.

Social validation is what truly matters for people.
For many it happens alongside economic validation, showing wealth or status.
But importantly, social validation can occur without economic validation. #econsky

2/n
Even Veblen understood the role of economic displays but did not explicitly state that social validation can happen independently of economics.

3/n
Veblen focused on conspicuous consumption as a means to gain social standing, linking social validation to economic signals. Yet, social validation also occurs through shared experiences, community, and social bonds: none of which require exchange or market mechanisms.

SCMP: "China should add a quantitative target for consumption growth as part of its long-term modernisation goals to help sustain growth momentum as the country’s population declines, a prominent Chinese economist said."
via @scmpnewssc.mp/qmm5m?utm_sour…

2/8
The article continues: "Currently, household consumption accounts for about 39% of China’s GDP, according to Cai Fang, an academician at CASS. Over the next decade it should rise to around 61% as China strives to become a “moderately-developed” country by 2035."

3/8
Most prominent economists in China have already called for increases of anywhere from 5 to 10 percentage points of GDP, and while Cai is right that household consumption of 61% of GDP would indeed make China a more "normal" country, I wonder if he has done the math.

Most coaches start with a drill.

The best ones start with a problem.

Here’s a simple 5-step framework (the 5 W’s) you can use to design drills that actually fit your team. 🧵

2.
1️⃣ What goes wrong?

What’s the real problem you’re trying to fix?

❌ “We lose the ball under pressure.”
❌ “Players don’t support the pass.”

Until you name the problem clearly,
you can’t design a drill that solves it.

3.
2️⃣ Where does it happen?

Which part of the pitch?

📍 Final third?
📍 Midfield?
📍 Wide areas?

Your drill should take place in the same zone where the problem occurs —
because context shapes decisions.

GROWW shares saw over 30 lakh units in auction on NSE.
What does this mean?

That means many traders shorted the stock but failed to deliver it in time for settlement.

They sold shares they didn’t have, bet the stock would fall
But it didn’t.
And now, the stock exchange is calling their bluff.

This is a ₹100 crore lesson on greed, speed, and the settlement window.
Let’s break down exactly what’s happening in simple words.

What does “auction” mean in the stock market in simple terms?

An auction is a punishment window for failed promises.
You said you’d deliver shares.
You didn’t.

Now the exchange steps in to fix the mess.
And makes you pay for it.

In India, we now operate under T+1 settlement.

That means:
If you sell a stock today (T),
You must deliver those shares tomorrow (T+1).

But many traders short stocks they don’t own—
betting the price will fall so they can buy it back cheaper the same day.

What happens in an auction?

The exchange conducts a separate buy-in auction the next day.

It tries to buy the same number of shares you failed to deliver
and gives them to the buyer who was expecting them.

But here's the catch:

You must pay whatever price the auction settles at

a penalty of up to 20% or ₹1 lakh, whichever is higher.

If the price spikes in auction?
Your loss explodes.

I developed the theory 8 months ago that the CIAMafia, fronted by Trump, would start to take a hatchet to its 2 co-Mafias, the LikudMafia and KremlinMafia.

Russia is now on the ropes. Putin will likely be overthrown shortly.

Trump has just made a deal with Saudi Arabia and

https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1990913773507387535

announced that Saudi Arabia will now become a major ally.

But Putin and Netanyahu have ugly kompromat on Trump and can take him down - but they can't touch the power behind Trump.

We're witnessing a giant game of Mexican Standoff - but the CIAMafia, the power behind the throne,

will escape unscathed, and then have 3 scapegoats to heap the blame on: Trump, Putin, Netanyahu.

The CIAMafia will then install JD Vance, but in 2028 will then install a Democrat that they control. Everyone will be so happy and continue with the make-believe democracy.

1/ Demography is destiny. The collapse of ancient Rome proves it.

Its decline had many causes, but all were governed by one fact: the people changed.

Rome did not fall because its numbers dwindled. Rome fell because it ceased to be Roman.

2/ Civilization is a biological phenomenon, and in saying this I do not deny the existence of a higher order. I simply recognize that the higher must work through the material substance it finds in the world, and it is here that biology and heredity becomes decisive. Inherited character sets the limits within which culture can rise, and no political form can endure once the people who created it have been replaced.

In the Western world today, matters of race and demography are treated as forbidden subjects because they contradict the egalitarian mythos of the age that human nature is infinitely malleable and that entire populations may be exchanged without consequence. For most of Western history this was understood to be false. The Greeks, the Romans, and all early European peoples, and European societies well into the twentieth century, recognized the fixity of heredity and regarded inherited differences as the basis of character and ability and therefore as the primary foundation of civic order. In the ancient world this produced a biopolitical conception of society in which the quality of the people determined the quality of the state. Distinct peoples, no less than distinct individuals, possessed tendencies shaped across generations. This older understanding is indispensable when examining the demographic transformation of Rome.

Rome began as a European people and remained a European civilization through its regal era and the early and middle Republic. Its citizen body arose from Latins, Sabines, and related Italic groups shaped by the meeting of Indo-European settlers with the older populations of the peninsula. Ancient DNA confirms this inheritance through the blend of Steppe ancestry with the early farming communities and the deeper hunter-gatherer strata that formed the classical European profile of ancient Italy.

Culture, understood as the outward expression of a people’s inherited instincts, is a product of race. The religion and civic habits of early Rome rested on these inherited affinities and gave the city its unified character. As Roman power expanded it incorporated Etruscan and Celtic communities who, despite their differences, belonged to the same broader European continuum. Their ancestral background and social instincts were close enough to those of the Romans to permit assimilation without altering the fundamental identity of the state.

Modern genetic similarity theory clarifies why this early expansion succeeded. Cooperation is strongest among individuals and groups who are genetically closer because they share broadly convergent behaviors and implicit moral instincts. A population does not need to be uniform for a state to function. It needs only a sufficient degree of shared ancestry for inherited dispositions to align rather than conflict with the institutions and values created by the founders. Early Rome met this threshold and could therefore integrate related European peoples without eroding its civic core.

This shared foundation made possible the rise of a formidable martial republic. Early Rome was intensely militarized, shaped by the Indo-European legacy of warrior bands and aristocratic ambition. Authority rested on valor and competence, and the highest honor was won in war. Patron-client bonds created networks of reciprocal obligation that echoed the older pattern in which leaders and their companions were united by personal loyalty. The patrician houses competed for military distinction, and this rivalry became one of the principal engines of Roman expansion across Italy.

This martial ethos permeated all classes. Warfare brought land, spoils, prestige, and upward mobility, giving every stratum of the citizen body a stake in the success of the state. Conquered Italian communities shared enough ancestry and cultural instinct with Rome that they could be integrated without destabilizing the political order. Their elites entered the Roman aristocracy and their populations supplied troops for future campaigns. Where the Greek city-states remained fractious and narrow, Rome succeeded in binding related European peoples into a single expanding commonwealth.

Rome’s very success contained the seeds of its demographic undoing. Expansion demanded soldiers, labor, and administrators, and the Republic met these demands by drawing heavily upon its ancestral population. Victory required armies, and armies required men. As Rome subdued the Mediterranean world it became dependent on a scale of manpower that the old Italic stock could not indefinitely supply. At the same time conquest poured captives and slaves into Italy at a rate no earlier age had witnessed. The transformation from a compact citizen republic into a vast imperial power created pressures that reshaped the composition of the peninsula. What had once been a coherent body of related European peoples began to absorb populations whose ancestry and inherited tendencies lay far outside the world that had shaped the Republic.

This equilibrium held until continuous warfare in the third and second centuries B.C. began to erode the old Italic stock. The Punic Wars against Carthage devastated the rural freeholders who had formed the backbone of Rome’s early armies and weakened the oldest patrician families. Hannibal’s invasions ruined the countryside, depopulated entire districts, and extinguished many households that had defined Republican life. The conquest of Macedon and Greece flooded Italy with slaves in unprecedented numbers, drawn from the Aegean world and from the interior of Asia Minor. Governors returning from the East brought with them multitudes from Phrygia, Lydia, Cappadocia, and Syria, and through manumission these captives, or their descendants, entered the expanding urban population.

Internal conflicts deepened the crisis. The Social War (91–88 B.C.) ravaged Italian communities already weakened by generations of military loss, and the long struggle against Mithridates (88–63 B.C.) drew further upon dwindling Italic manpower while bringing additional Eastern captives into Italy. By the first century B.C. the demographic foundations of the Republic had shifted. The old Roman and Italic families that had governed the early state were declining in number, while Rome itself swelled with newcomers whose ancestral ties to the founders were distant or nonexistent.

3/ Tenney Frank was the first modern scholar to examine Rome’s demographic transformation with a method that was both systematic and rigorously exact. Refusing to rely on the literary record alone, he treated Italy as a biological archive and turned to the inscriptions carved into stone. More than thirty thousand epitaphs allowed him to examine names, stated origins, manumission formulas, and civic statuses. Taken together they formed a demographic ledger of the peninsula, and from this ledger a pattern emerged with exactitude. The ancient Roman nomina, the hereditary family names that had defined the Republic, begin to diminish after the first century B.C. The Claudii, Cornelii, Fabii, Aemilii, and Manlii, the families that had furnished Rome with magistrates, priests, generals, and legislators, fade steadily from Latium, Campania, and Etruria. In their place rise names from Phrygia, Lydia, Cappadocia, Syria, and the Levant.

Roman observers of the period often mistook these newcomers for Greeks because of their language, yet the inscriptions reveal a different truth. Their ancestry came not from the old Mediterranean Hellenes but from the Near Eastern provinces Rome had subdued; from the Hellenistic East. Greek served as the lingua franca of the Eastern Mediterranean, and enslaved populations used it in commerce and in the formulas that recorded their manumission. The cultural veneer was Hellenic, but the blood was Levantine and Anatolian. By the second century A.D., nearly nine in ten urban-born Romans were descended from slaves or freedmen, most of them bearing ancestry from Asia Minor or the Syro-Levantine coast. The old Italic and European stock that had created the Republic and carried it to its civilizational apex was withdrawing with measurable speed, replaced by peoples whose inherited dispositions stood far from those of the founders.

Frank emphasized that this demographic shift intensified when the older rural citizenry began to vanish from the Italian landscape. Continuous warfare across the third and second centuries B.C. removed men from their farms for long stretches, and the disappearance of these households broke the continuity of village life that had sustained the early Republic. As these families died out, their land passed into the hands of magnates who absorbed entire districts into sprawling farm estates worked by imported slaves. These latifundia spread across Italy with a magnitude unknown in earlier periods. The countryside lost the independent farmers who had supplied early armies and embodied the civic character of the Republic. In their place rose plantations worked by foreign slave populations whose manumission, carried out in large numbers, transformed the population of the cities. Frank regarded this extinction of the rural Roman stock as the pivotal change that reshaped Italy at its core.

The senatorial and patrician houses declined in a similar pattern, yet with an even sharper descent owing to their long-standing duty to command armies and take the field in person. The martial burdens of the Republic, once borne by these lineages as a matter of inherited honor, hastened their disappearance as war and political purges cut deeply into their ranks. Under Nero hundreds of senatorial families still existed. Under Hadrian only a small remnant survived. Of the patrician gentes, the most ancient hereditary clans that had once shaped Rome’s political and religious orders, only one remained. What had once been a living civic body rooted in ancient lineages now stood depleted, for the houses that had shaped the early Republic no longer survived in the strength required to sustain it.

With their disappearance the old character of the Republic dissolved as well. The stern and austere virtues that had ordered Roman life, the discipline that shaped its armies, the aristocratic sense of honor that governed its magistrates, and the severe moral code that once bound patrician households to the service of the state all weakened as the Roman people who had embodied them faded from existence. The institutions remained in place, the rites still appeared in public life, and the ancestral customs could be seen in outward form, yet the character that had once guided these practices no longer existed within the people who now performed them.

Frank held that this loss produced a gradual alteration of Rome’s civic order as new populations, shaped by different inheritances, bent the old framework toward their own habits. He described this development as the “Orientalization of Rome,” a shift marked by the decline of the rural citizen armies and the slow death of the old soldier-farmer class that had formed the Republic’s martial and aristocratic core. The strict discipline once maintained by Italy’s older stock gave way to an urban temperament detached from the sterner demands that had governed the early state. What had once been a civic order rooted in a particular people now operated without that foundation, for those who had created it no longer possessed the continuity or the strength needed to sustain it.

Modern genetic research now confirms the trajectory Frank identified. Italians of the Republican period cluster with Western and Central Europeans, reflecting the ancient mixture of Steppe ancestry with early farming communities and the older hunter-gatherer strata. Samples from the imperial era shift toward inland Anatolia and the Syro-Levantine coast, revealing a deep turnover in the population of central and southern Italy. Late Antiquity introduces another movement as northern peoples entered during the Gothic and Lombard periods, restoring much of the earlier European profile. The genetic evidence aligns with Frank’s findings and renders his historical sequence in biological form.

Frank’s conclusion restates an older and more severe truth. Rome’s institutions survived in outward form, yet the blood that had created them was no longer present. The magistracies still convened, the rites continued, and the offices retained their ancient titles, but the European people who had founded Rome had vanished from the life of the empire.

This is the truth the modern West refuses to face. Civilizations do not fall because their institutions suddenly fail. They fall because the people who created and sustained those institutions are replaced or erased by populations incapable of carrying the old order forward. The outward frame of a civilization may persist for generations, as Rome’s did, yet it becomes a hollow structure once its racial core is lost.

The West stands upon a similar precipice at its own hour of decision. The buildings remain, the constitutions hold their authority, and the inherited political language is still spoken, yet the people who once gave these forms their character and purpose recede with growing speed. Rome shows that once a civilization’s biological foundation is altered, the outer shell may remain like a long-abandoned temple, but no statute or reform can bring back a people who have passed from the world and left no heirs to their own creation.

In the end, the empire fell for one reason alone. It was Roman in name, but no longer in blood.

Hmm.
Real story here is the tanks. KSA has some 570 M1A2S Abrams bought in the last 12 yrs under Obama-era contracts. 20 of those (in 2016 buy) were replacements for tanks lost in Yemen.
Saudis also still operate some number of older M60A3 Patton MBTs (not clear but 300+).

Not counting older French AMX-30 (reserve) that's ~870+, largest MBT inventory in/around Arabian Pen.
300 is a big buy. Assume more M1A2S Abrams, new upgrades. Replacing Pattons? Adding to current total?
Curious what threat concept is motivating the buy. Not nearly...
