THREAD: Decision making - Microscopes and Satellites
1/ Every act committed and every decision made by the German Government leading up to and during WWII was legal from their POV.
2/ What is ethical and what is legal are too often two different things entirely.
3/ Too many people see the microscope view only - and make their decisions based only on the dictates and observations of the granular/ultra-granular.
4/ And while a microscope view is valuable and not to be overlooked - we must simultaneously formulate our decisions from a satellite's POV.
5/ From 22,300 miles up in geosynchronous orbit, we get a very different view compared with our microscope.
6/ To take either of these perspectives without the other will lead to profound mistakes in our personal and professional lives - as well as on a worldwide scale.

THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4392: The Secret Tells behind Donald Trump's Statement, "No Puppet. No Puppet. You're the Puppet" • • #NoPuppet #YoureThePuppet #Nonverbal #EmotionalIntelligence #BodyLanguageExpert #BodyLanguage #DonaldTrump
1/ The Mueller Investigation and, more specifically, Bob Mueller's recent testimony has served to refocus public attention on specific events leading up to the 2016 US Presidential Election.
2/ One of these moments was a crucial portion of the third debate held on 19 October - twenty days prior to the election. What follows is a partial nonverbal analysis of that exchange.

Tears in the Rain - Blade Runner (9/10) Movie CLIP (1982) HD via @YouTube
1/ "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
2/ One of the most iconic scenes ever. Rutger Hauer added his own lines, "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain".

THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 2391: Donald Trump, Buzz Aldrin, and Variations on the 'Side-Eye' (PHOTO) #DonaldTrump #BuzzAldrin #NeilArmstrong #MichaelCollins #BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #EmotionalIntelligence #Nonverbal #SideEye #ImpulseControlDisorder
1/ We don't look directly at those individuals whom we don't like, we don't believe, and/or don't respect.
2/ A subset of this phenomenon is that sometimes we don't look directly at another person so as to avoid escalation of our own temper - in order to avoid emotional confrontation.

You know what I find really ironic & sobering about the wave of anti-Fulani bigotry sweeping the country? It’s not new. Only that when it happened, 50–60 years ago, the targets were not the Fulani,but instead the Igbo, suspected/ unfairly accused of an Igbonisation Agenda
#Thread
This is Nigeria for you. Those who are ignorant or forgetful or disdainful of history rush to make pronouncements where even angels fear to tread. Those who respect history open themselves up to its sobering truth, the sense of measure and nuance that it leaves behind.
Maybe it feels comforting right now, to hold an entire ethnic group responsible for Nigeria’s security challenges. But to successfully do that you have to willfully blind yourself to the simple & obvious truth that no ethnic group in Nig. has ever held a monopoly on criminality.

#Thread Venezuela welcomed the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, former Chilean President, Michelle Bachelet, on June 19 of this year. During her visit, the official met with government representatives, opposition leaders, trade unions and NGOs.
The visit of Bachelet was significant based on the expectation and pressure on social media by anti-chavez spokespersons. 13 days after her visit, the report delivered at the UN was published, where the exclusion of important social and political data predominates.
Despite having first-hand information, offered by the national government, social organizations and human rights NGOs, the High Commissioner deliberately omitted them. The final report is a copy of a copy of the anti-Chavez NGO’s narrative.

During the recent visit to the U.K., the Queen gave President Trump the special edition of Winston Churchill’s memoirs “The Second World War”. The secret that Churchill was forced to keep by intelligence authorities is that throughout the War he had access to ULTRA.
ULTRA intelligence was obtained by the British codebreakers during WWII. By cracking ENIGMA codes, they received access to high-level German communications.
Churchill became PM on 10 May 1940. 12 days later, codebreakers at Bletchley Park, England, broke the Enigma key used by the German Air Force. This was the first major success for British intelligence in #WWII.

From a neck to neck race to one sided contest in just a few months. From Rahul rising & Modi dropping, how did things reverse in just a few months ?
It’s a long #Thread.
14 Feb, the worst terror attack on security forces happened killing 44 soldiers. Congress supported govt on any impending action, media looked for opportunities to blame Congress. Key question left unanswered.
Amidst mounting pressure govt promised action, says No to dossier diplomacy. In the following days India lost 7 more soldiers in anti terror operations. Media shielded govt & attacked all & sundry. No accountability for Pulwama sought.

There's been so many fake news going around about FREE tuition in Germany. I know this because I have so many friends in Germany presently in school and I have worked with so many people presently in Germany. To this end, let's demystify the things you never read online. #Thread.
I've read in so many articles where people talk about #GermanFreeTuition but never talk about the nitty gritty. Of a truth, Germany is one of the best countries to live in the world, yet still, they offer Free Tuition to everybody from primary education to PhD and you're at an
Advantage too. Which means YOU can also enjoy this... Unfortunately for international student, Nigeria as a case study, you need to provide something VERY crucial before you can get their visa. That thing is called Sperkontto in German which means BLOCKED ACCOUNT. Yes, you need a

(Thread) Earlier, I shared an old letter my grandpa wrote about the occupation of #Japan. The response was so overwhelming I searched for (& found) an interview with my grandma on the same subject.

Today, on the anniversary of the formal end of #WWII, I’ll share some excerpts:
(2/9) Some background on my grandmother first:
・Born/raised in Yokohama
・Before the war, family was well-to-do merchants, but the imperial gov’t took all their wealth for the war effort
・English speaker from young age
・Got a job as a switchboard operator for Occupation forces
(3/9) More background:
・”Met” my grandfather when he made a call through her switchboard
・Started their life together overcoming the legal & social taboos of their love
・She preferred to tell stories rather than write them down, so I transcribed our conversation 13 years ago
