The Architecture of Dominance: Why Your "Kindness" Is a Suicide Note (THREAD)
The 'Good Person' Scam: How Society Trained You to Be Prey
People will take advantage of you until you apply this. Not because they are bad, but because you let them. You have been exploited repeatedly by people you trusted, helped, and prioritized. And the worst part? You enabled every single violation. You smiled through disrespect. You justified their behavior. You convinced yourself that being "understanding" would eventually earn you the treatment you deserve. It didn't. It never does. Machiavelli knew this centuries ago. The moment you need respect more than you demand it, you have already lost.
We are living through an epidemic of weakness masquerading as virtue. The modern cultural landscape, dominated by leftist sensibilities and therapy-speak, has conditioned an entire generation to believe that compliance is kindness and conflict avoidance is moral superiority. They lied to you. The liberal indoctrination centers we call universities have stripped you of your natural defenses, training you to apologize for your own existence. But here is the cold reality: "People don't take advantage of you because they're villains. They do it because you've shown them they can." This isn't about becoming cruel. It is about understanding the psychology of power.

You were raised to believe kindness is a virtue. They told you to be good, to smile, to forgive. What they didn't tell you is that "kindness without boundaries is just weakness dressed in moral clothing." People don't respect what is freely given; they exploit it. Every time you prioritize being liked over being respected, you hand someone a map to your vulnerabilities. Those who seek approval become servants to those who withhold it. Kindness becomes a tool of manipulation when you use it to avoid the cold truth that not everyone deserves your energy.
The psychology behind chronic kindness is rooted in fear, not love. You are afraid of being abandoned, of being seen as difficult. So you overcompensate. You give endlessly expecting fairness in return. But fairness is a myth the weak invented to cope with dominance. The world operates on power dynamics. When you are always available, always forgiving, you are signaling low survival value. People sense it the way predators sense wounded prey. They circle, they take. And you call it being a "good person."

Neuroscience reveals that your brain rewards people-pleasing behavior with dopamine hits. You get short-term relief from avoiding conflict, but you suffer long-term erosion. You become addicted to peace at any cost, even when that cost is your dignity. Meanwhile, the people benefiting from your kindness aren't losing sleep. They are simply taking what you offer and moving on to the next source when you run dry. This isn't cruelty. It is efficiency. They have learned that emotional generosity without boundaries is an infinite resource. Why respect someone who doesn't respect themselves?

Venezuela, años 50. Con el dictador Pérez Jiménez al mando, el país rebosaba gasolina, dólares, silencio cívico y la sudorosa sensación de que todo iba a durar para siempre.

I think the best way to anticipate where the US is headed next is by looking at the life of Stephen Miller, the US shadow president and very embodiment of evil that is now appearing on every TV channel to defend the ICE agent that summarily executed an innocent woman.🧵
Having went bald and aged some 37 years in between the ages of 15 and 17 and already an avid reader of "Guns&Ammo" magazine by the age of 12, Miller would eventually let his only friend know they can't see each other anymore on grounds of him being the wrong shade of white.
Failing in his bid for Student Government, having run on a platform that argued students should not have to pick up trash, because, in his view, that was the God given role of Black and Latino janitors, Miller began incessantly calling into local neo-Nazi radio shows.
1. Bandera capo dell'OUN, eroe nazionale dell'Ucraina di Zelensky, il 30 giugno 1941 proclamò l'Ucraina alleata di HITLER. Ad aprile la Grande Assemblea dell'OUN stabilì che "Slava Ukraini!" era il loro saluto ufficiale, che andava fatto accompagnandolo dal saluto NAZISTA.
2. Yaroslav Stetsko capo dell'OUN, che Bandera il 30 giugno 1941 mise a fare il presidente fantoccio dell'Ucraina: "Pertanto sostengo la distruzione degli ebrei e l'opportunità di portare i metodi tedeschi di sterminio degli ebrei in Ucraina".
3. CIA, 1951: "Durante le 5 settimane di esistenza dello stato ucraino di Bandera (e Yaroslav Stetsko dal 30 giugno 1941 al 12 luglio 1941), furono uccisi 5.000 ucraini, 15.000 ebrei e diverse migliaia di polacchi. Oltre 10.000 ebrei furono annientati in una singola operazione."

🇦🇷🇮🇱 Argentina, Wildfires, and the Return of Plan Andinia
Argentina is burning.
Massive wildfires are tearing through Patagonia, displacing communities and destroying protected land. As the fires spread, local residents have begun reporting something unsettling: foreign individuals caught allegedly setting fires, with multiple reports pointing to Israelis.
Authorities say investigations are ongoing.
Patagonia is not just wilderness, it is one of the most resource-rich, sparsely populated regions on Earth:
• Freshwater reserves
• Fertile land
• Strategic geography
• Low population density
It is also a region that has long attracted foreign interest, legal and otherwise. This brings up a term many Argentines know well: Plan Andinia.
Plan Andinia refers to a mid-20th-century geopolitical concept, discussed in Argentine military and intelligence circles, proposing the establishment of a Jewish state or autonomous zone in Patagonia under certain conditions.
Whether speculative or strategic, it was real enough to be studied, debated, and feared. Plan Andinia was never implemented. But ideas do not need to be implemented to shape behavior. They need only to justify long-term positioning.
Land acquisition, NGO influence, tourism corridors, dual citizenship flows, security cooperation these are far more common tools than tanks.
Argentina’s south has seen:
• Large-scale foreign land purchases
• Restricted-access estates
• Private conservation zones with opaque governance
• Foreign security personnel operating under civilian cover
Wildfires introduce a new variable that Israelis will love.... forced displacement. Throughout history, environmental destruction has often preceded land reorganization.
Not because fires prove intent but because chaos creates opportunity:
• Emergency powers
• Property transfers
• International “assistance”
• Reframing of sovereignty as “management”
There are credible reports of Israelis caught setting fires on the hiking trails of Patagonia. In 2011, an Israeli was caught setting a fire that burned 17,000 acres of Chilean Patagonia.
When communities feel their land is being taken, reshaped, or destabilized without consent, they remember history.
Argentina has its own history with foreign interference, IMF restructuring, and externally imposed “solutions.” In that context, Patagonia is not peripheral.
It is strategic. And Plan Andinia persists not as a plan, but as a symbol of vulnerability.
Wildfires should unite a country in defense of its land, not silence discussion.
History doesn’t repeat verbatim but it rhymes, especially when land is burning.
And everything is a conspiracy.... until it isn't....

"South America is being prepared to be occupied. Our continent must say a resounding 'No!'"
In it's June 18,2025 edition, Diario UNO, a regional Argentine newspaper, published this OpEd by Sister Milagros Juárez. In it she writes:
Plan Andinia
Until years ago, it was said that the "Andinia Plan" was a crazy, anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. But after events promoted by Milei, it is clear that it was not fiction, but a reality that endangers South America, since it would leave us, the neighboring countries, in the future in the situation of Iran or Syria, an imminent war zone, after the creation of a "new Israel" in Patagonia
The very old Andinia Plan essentially maintains that, prior to the creation of the Zionist and illegitimate state of Israel in the Middle East, the other option for the UN to send them as refugees after WWII was Argentina, but that area, where occupied Palestine is today, won. But Argentina remained as a second option to establish a Jewish state if something went wrong in Palestine. Do you connect the dots?
Following the assumption of the presidency of Javier Milei, a convert to Judaism, in accordance with the Andinia Plan, there was a massive acquisition of land in Patagonia by Israeli businessmen at rock-bottom prices, as well as various undervalued resources and direct flights from Tel Aviv. These flights, however, could not (for now) touch an area that the Malvinas veterans had saved through legal means.
The final straw came last Friday, when, just hours before Israel attacked Iran, Milei posed with Netanyahu. Bilateral agreements also came into effect so that Jews who move to Argentina can have their social assistance and insurance benefits recognized. Why, hours before the attack, did Milei put the finishing touches on what appears to be a mass exodus, should Israel eventually lose a war against Iran?
South America is being prepared to be occupied. Our continent must say a resounding "No!" We are Christians, we speak Spanish, we must not receive any kind of exodus from another continent. We have not yet recovered from the Venezuelan exodus.
I ask the Heavenly Father to give the indigenous leaders of South America and all the people the strength not to let ourselves be invaded like Palestine. We saw the fate that befell them for being trusting. We have families to protect, an ancient heritage that must not disappear, because Zionism destroys everything it touches. I leave this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen

The Andinia Plan is a Jewish initiative to dismember Patagonia from Argentina and Chile and create another Jewish state there. This theory, which is relatively recent, is based on the idea proposed by Theodor Herzl (1882) in his book The Jewish State (Der Judenstaat). He discussed the possibility of buying land either in Palestine or in Argentina for the creation of a Jewish State. The plan saw light at the International Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland in 1897.
It is believed that the creation of this new Jewish State in Patagonian territory would be carried out thanks to the same methods used for the creation of the State of Israel in Palestine.
The beginning of this story dates back to 1882, when the Andinia Plan was formulated and launched in 1887 on the occasion of the World Jewish Congress in Basel, where the proposals of Leon Pinsker (Self-emancipation) and Teodoro Herzl (The Jewish State) were approved.
To create a Jewish state in America, preferably in Argentina, the following actions were undertaken:
1. Mass immigration of Jews to Argentina.
2. Purchase of large tracts of land by the Jewish Company Association Colonization, with center in London
3. Constitution of large public limited companies, such as Bemberg, Dreyfus, Dunge and Born, etc., which currently own large extensions.

2. The fault in our system:
The thyroid runs on a chain of command:
Hypothalamus (TRH) → Pituitary (TSH) → Thyroid (T4)
But T4 must convert to T3, the active hormone.
And if your conversion fails, everything slows down.
But we rarely test T3 or conversion blockers.

Government operational costs (policing, overtime, National Guard): No single national total, but hundreds of millions.
Examples:
- Minneapolis PD overtime & related: millions
- Minnesota National Guard: ~$13M
- Various cities: multimillion overtime bills
Plus later settlements for police misconduct: tens of millions more.

🔥🔥🔥Immigrant Defense Network - I was Hot on the trail! Thanks to my earlier work, I’ve now found the newest, and very large, MN anti ICE and protest network! And yes, it involves orgs that I’ve already discussed, but it includes the ACLU, plus more too! I also have how they operate!
It seems that COPAL is now running things. And Ilhan Omar and Amy Klobuchar even once had taxpayer funds directed to them! And Ayada leads, is well, leading things!
This is a secretive network of over 100 orgs called the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN) m. I’ve found as many of the 100 that I could. And it seems that many are also the pro Palestinian Marxist left.
Now remember, this is part of the 2020 George Floyd Network, so they are built for rioting too.
♦️So let’s get into the details of the Immigrant Defense Network now.
COPAL stands for Copal mn Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Acción Latina. In 2025, The Bush Fndn helped establish the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN) when they gave $995,000 to COPAL.
This is not the Bush family that we are familiar with, it’s Archie and Edyth Bush of MN. And its Fndn was founded in 1953.
There seems to be Soros Open Society funding also. And Ryan Perez, is the director of COPAL.
“The IDN built infrastructure that responds rapidly to immigration enforcement operations throughout the state. It allows the IDN to verify information and deploy individuals trained in its constitutional observer program. These observers are the first responders to ICE and other immigration enforcement actions, and trained by IDN partner organizations.
IDN members patrol the streets, sifting through tips to find those that are “credible or verified” and sending alerts when needed by text, email and phone calls to its constitutional observers.
A Signal chat with every trained constitutional observer in the network and organization leadership is activated. Alerts are sent to partner organizations, which then alert their own email databases, allowing the news to spread beyond the IDN’s immediate network.
Documenting ICE actions is only the first layer in the IDN’s response. Once constitutional observers record immigration enforcement, that information is passed on to the network’s legal partners, who can use it to craft immigrants’ legal defense.
The IDN had been on high alert in the wake of large-scale operations in other U.S. cities. To prepare, it had established a campaign called Adopt a Corner to protect high-risk areas and send out alerts.
“People are going to be documenting, they’re going to be verbally upholding civil rights, they’re going to be asking if ICE is on the scene that they’re presenting the proper warrants and documentation,” said Ryan Perez, COPAL’s organizing director. “They’re just upholding people’s civil rights all around.”
♦️ IDN Members
The organization has a seven-member steering committee composed of a variety of both large and small immigrant advocates and human rights groups. They include:
- ACLU Minnesota
- Ayala Leads
- COPAL
- Minnesota Interfaith Coalition on Immigration (ICOM)
- Land Stewardship Project
- Minnesota 8
- The Advocates for Human Rights
Affiliates
- Center For Popular Democracy
- CAIR Minnesota
- Unidos MN
- Black Immigrant Collective
- Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid
Now the Center For Popular Democracy is as radical as they come. And they have been partnered with many far left groups for resistance work.
Here they even worked on a Democrat Attorneys Generals Association project with Obama’s OFA!Here’s the members:
“MoveOn, Indivisible, Organizing for Action (OFA), the Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA), The Collective PAC, Flippable, The Arena, Center for Popular Democracy Action, National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), Latino Victory, Progressive Turnout Project, NewFounders, MobilizeAmerica, Sister District, Wall of US, Working Families Party, Resistbot, Stand Up America, Democrats .com”

“Edwin Torres DeSantiago was described by the Star Tribune last month as the manager of the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN), a project of Comunidades Organizando El Poder y la Accion Latina (COPAL), which is one of several Minnesota organizations behind “direct action trainings” which purportedly inform residents, “how to read judicial warrants, and contribute to a repository of data for legal challenges by recording agents’ conduct.”
Attendees also learn, “whistle codes for summoning crowds,” and organizers provide, “links to rapid-response clearinghouses,” according to the outlet.
IDN itself held a training session on Tuesday in Saint Paul, part of its Brave of US Tour that instructed attendees on becoming,”Constitutional Observers to protect and defend our immigrant neighbors.””
“DeSantiago also worked as Minnesota’s full-time COVID-19 Vaccine Outreach Director, and during the 2020 campaign he worked for both U.S. Senators Tina Smith (D-MN) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), after previously working for Smith’s campaign in 2018.”
“Other donors include the McKnight Foundation, who provided COPAL with $350,000, “for the establishment, strengthening, and tool creation of the Immigrant Defense Network,” and the Northwest Area Foundation, who provided“$100,000 to support development and expansion of the Immigrant Defense Network through public outreach, rights education, mental health training, emergency response services, and regional collaboration across the Upper Midwest.”

Essentially after Trump was elected, the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN) was born. The locals usually know the details first.
“Immediately following the 2024 presidential election, the community advocacy group Communities Organizing Latine Power and Action (COPAL) reached out to partners to strengthen ties. Those discussions led to the formation of the IDN, which has expanded to include more than 100 immigrant, labor, legal, faith and community organizations dedicated to advancing the constitutional rights of Minnesota’s immigrant communities.
Our network spans multiple counties across the state of Minnesota,” Torres Desantiago said.
The IDN has built infrastructure that responds rapidly to immigration enforcement operations throughout the state. It allows the IDN to verify information and deploy individuals trained in its constitutional observer program. These observers are the first responders to ICE and other immigration enforcement actions, trained by IDN partner organizations to exercise their legal rights when documenting federal agents in public.
“For many, we became the most reliable source of information,” he said. “We were sharing even with local agencies, because we were on the ground.”
A Signal chat with every trained constitutional observer in the network and organization leadership is activated. Alerts are sent to partner organizations, which then alert their own email databases, allowing the news to spread beyond the IDN’s immediate network.
Documenting ICE actions is only the first layer in the IDN’s response. Once constitutional observers record immigration enforcement, that information is passed on to the network’s legal partners, who can use it to craft immigrants’ legal defense.
Perez said the Nov. 18 IDN response proved that the Twin Cities can offer meaningful resistance to immigration enforcement.
The IDN sent a leadership delegation to Los Angeles to be trained by the National Day Laborer Organizing Network on how to adapt their Adopt a Corner model, Torres Desantiago said. In addition, members from the Center for Popular Democracy will soon come to Minnesota for two days of training with IDN.
We need more people trained,” Torres Desantiago said. “We have about 2,000 people all over the state, but we need 10,000 people minimum to make sure we have enough capacity.”

Trump no puede ordenar una acción militar contra Dinamarca solo porque tiene ganas de hacerlo. Las fantasías imperiales son campo de la psicología y no tienen nada que ver con la realidad. Incluso el presidente debe obedecer leyes, aunque resulte increíble tener que aclararlo

THE OPERATION TALLA LEGACY:
How a Pandemic Police Op Became Europe’s Permanent Censorship Engine 🧵🚨
The world thinks "Operation Talla"—the UK’s massive police response to COVID-19—ended when the masks came off. They are wrong. In 2026, the command structures, the "emergency" funding, and the personnel of Talla have been rebranded into the European Democracy Shield.
This isn't just about a virus anymore; it’s about the permanent "management" of the public mind. Here is the full investigation. 👇
1. The Command Structure:
From Gold Command to the "Shield"Operation Talla pioneered the "Four Es" (Engage, Explain, Encourage, Enforce). It was the first time police were used to "Explain" government policy as a security mandate. In 2026, this has evolved. The Centre for Democratic Resilience in Brussels now acts as a digital "Gold Command," using the DISARM framework to do exactly what Talla did: identify "non-compliance" (dissent) and "mitigate" it.
2. The Money Trail:
The "Resilience Reserve"
Where did the billions from the pandemic response go? They didn't disappear; they were rolled into the Internal Security Fund (ISF) and the AgoraEU program (€8.6bn).
The Link:
Investigative records show that unspent "Talla" emergency reserves were used to issue no-bid contracts to Alliance4Europe to build the EU’s "Incident Dashboard."
The Result:
Your tax money, originally meant for "PPE and vaccines," is now paying for a private NGO to certify 1,150 "Digital Defenders" to monitor your social media.
3. The Personnel:
The CCDH Revolving Door
The link is personal. Morgan McSweeney, a founding director of the CCDH and current Chief of Staff to the UK PM, is the ultimate bridge. McSweeney’s work during the "Information Operations" of Operation Talla provided the political blueprint for the Digital Omnibus.
Even as the US bans CCDH leadership for "foreign interference," the UK and EU are doubling down, integrating CCDH "Safety" standards into the very architecture of the law.
4. The Method:
Bio-Security to Cognitive-SecurityOperation Talla proved that you can suspend civil liberties if you call it a "Crisis."
2020: The "Crisis" was a virus.
2026: The "Crisis" is "Information Manipulation." The Digital Omnibus allows the state to declare an "Emergency" based on reports from "vetted NGOs" (like Alliance4Europe). Once declared, they bypass the courts to silence any narrative that threatens "public security."
5. The DISARM Pipeline
The most chilling link is the DISARM Framework. Originally tested on "anti-lockdown" sentiment during Operation Talla, it is now the official OS for the Democracy Shield.
It turns your opinions into "TTPs" (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures).
It treats a viral tweet like a malware attack.
It’s a military-grade tool used by ISF-funded police to "patch" the public's thoughts.
THE VERDICT:
Operation Talla didn't end; it morphed. It moved from the streets to the servers. The European Democracy Shield is simply Talla 2.0—a permanent state of emergency where the government and its "vetted" NGO partners hold the master key to the truth.
The "Shield" isn't protecting democracy. It’s shielding the architects of the new order from the people they are supposed to serve.

Aug 2, 2026: Deadline for the full application of "High-Risk" AI rules under the original AI Act (prior to Omnibus amendments).
The transition from Operation Talla to the DISARM Framework represents the shift from emergency physical policing to permanent digital "cognitive security." Operation Talla provided the legal and command-and-control "blueprint," while DISARM provided the technical "operating system" to automate that control.
The Connection:
Infrastructure and Intent
The link is found in the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC). Under Operation Talla, the NPCC established a centralized "Gold Command" structure to manage public behavior. As the pandemic receded, this command structure was not dissolved but "digitized."
The logic of the "Four Es" (Engage, Explain, Encourage, Enforce) was moved from the streets into the digital square. In 2026, the "explanation" phase is handled by AI-driven narratives, and "enforcement" is handled by the Digital Omnibus and DSA Crisis Protocols.

How the Evolution Happened: 3 Key Pillars
1. The Command Pipeline (NPCC to CDR)
Operation Talla established the National Police Coordination Centre (NPoCC) as a hub for monitoring national capacity and "protest or disorder." This hub provided the personnel who now staff the Centre for Democratic Resilience (CDR). They moved from tracking physical lockdown breaches to tracking "information incidents."
2. The Semantic Shift (Safety to Security)
Talla (2020): "We need to explain the law to keep you safe from a virus."
DISARM (2026): "We need to mitigate this narrative to keep you secure from a cognitive threat." The language of "health" was a Trojan horse for "cognitive security." DISARM allows police to treat an opinion like a bio-hazard.
3. The Funding Handover
The billions spent on Operation Talla’s "Information Operations" (advertising, monitoring, and influencer management) created a dependency. When Talla "ended," the Internal Security Fund (ISF) and AgoraEU were created to ensure the NGOs (Alliance4Europe, CCDH) and private tech firms who built the Talla tools didn't lose their revenue.
Summary: The Talla-DISARM Legacy
Operation Talla was the physical rehearsal; DISARM is the digital performance. The evolution was a deliberate process of turning "Emergency Powers" into "Algorithm Standards."

LLMs don't just need instructions. They need to "become" someone. When you give expertise context, the model activates completely different reasoning patterns.

🌟Let's start with a case as always
53 yr old pt with T2DM has been getting worsening blurring of vision over last 8 months but last night suddenly everything went dark and now she cannot see from her left
No history of trauma or pain in the eye
OE Visual acuity is reduced to fingers
You had learnt about ophthalmoscopy in medical school so you try to examine the posterior chamber of the eye
BUT
There is a cataract which does not allow you to look beyond the lens
You have slit lamp but do not know how to perform post chamber exam with the pris.

⭐️This is where ocular PoCUS can help
Ocular PoCUS helps to assess most of the acute ocular conditions in the ED.
Admittedly, it does not allow grading of retinal vessels for hypertensive changes or uveitis but allows assessment of the following conditions with better accuracy

Lord Carlile KC opens the first group of amendments headed by his 120, "to establish a court-based system for the approval and scrutiny of applications for #assistedsuicide, and to provide for suitable court procedures and the appointment of independent persons to ensure that relevant court orders are carried out in compliance with this Act."
Lord Carlile says judge involvement is "self evidently appropriate and what we would expect" regarding the power to approve the death of another." Says the original High Court proposal was cut because of lack of capacity and fears that applications wouldn't gain assent. 120 a "simple and sound solution": broaden the range of judiciary so empowered.
Meet Ibrahim Arief. A top-tier Indonesian engineer involved with some of the nation's best-known tech unicorns. Now he's under arrest, awaiting trial in a politicized case that's deeply hurting Indonesia's reputation. His story is distressing. 1/6
Known as Ibam, the 40-year-old engineer took a 50% pay cut to help Indonesia's government use tech to improve education. In return for his patriotism, six years on, he's wearing an electronic bracelet and facing corruption allegations that are deeply politicized. 2/6
In 2019, Ibam joined an elite team of tech talent -- young Indonesians hoping to improve school learning in Indonesia, which has lagged other nations. The team was assembled by Nadiem Makarim, who had founded GoJek -- Indonesia's version of Uber -- but quit to become Education Minister. 3/6
