1/8 The fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November, 1989, was one of the most significant events of the 20th century. But why was the Wall built in the first place❓ #BerlinWall30 #BerlinWall
@bbcworldservice 2/8 As political change and civil unrest gripped Eastern Europe 30 years ago, a euphoric crowd of Berliners started to tear down the Wall. What led to that moment? 🤔 #BerlinWall30 #BerlinWall
3/8 Shouts of “the Wall must go” began two years earlier. David Bowie was among the performers at a 1987 concert in West Berlin that led to riots #BerlinWall30 #BerlinWall bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…

Why is the Amazon burning?

Forest fires are common from July to October. But activists say Brazilian President Bolsonaro’s policies have encouraged farmers to clear land for crops or grazing - resulting in an increase in fires #AmazonFires [THREAD 🌳]

Brazil’s president has hit back, accusing environmental NGOs of starting the fires. He also accused @EmmanuelMacron of colonialism for making the crisis top of the G7 agenda #AmazonFires (2/7🌳)

@EmmanuelMacron Over 2,500 #AmazonFires are currently active in the Brazilian Amazon. This year alone there has been an 84% increase in Brazilian fires, according to the country’s Space Research Institute @prensa_inpe (3/7🌳)

Thread on the @BBC's latest (12.09.19) edition of propaganda designed to mask the UK's role in arming and financing Al Qaeda in Syria. A BBC broadcast was imposed on me, but I recorded this segment anticipating that a pack of lies was coming. Here is part 1/3 of the skit:
@BBC Here is part 2/3:
@BBC And here is part 3/3. Watch all parts and only then proceed.

#populationcontrollaw is actually #Agenda21 which is British policy to reduce population of former colonies like India through various sterilization & other policies peddled through United Nations and popularised by Hollywood to effectively keep nations under their orbit.
In 1974 US National Security Council under Henry Kissinger completed classified 200-page study “National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for US Security & Overseas Interests” advocating #populationcontrollaw for nations like India.
NSSM200 claimed that population growth in so-called Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) like India was grave threat to US National Security & outlined covert plan to reduce population growth in nations like India through birth control & implicitly war & famine #populationcontrollaw

@chesterforeu
So your favourite voice of @chesterforeu is back and I thought I would share some of our best bits from Saturday. \thread

What an amazing day that was.
We started early on coaches trains cars and planes to get to our meeting point
Some of our people were helping going with this fabulous float @EUflagmafia
But most of us assembled together to join the start of the march. Great turn out and each of us were walking for family and friends who could not be there. Here we all are making our way up the road to Park Lane.

BREAKING - The man who killed Indian engineer Srinivas Kutchibhotla and injured two others in Kansas last year has pleaded guilty to federal hate crimes. The story remains one of the most moving I've ever covered. #Olathe #Kansas.
On an evening in February in 2017, two Indian engineers were having a drink at a sports bar in #Olathe, when Adam Purinton saw them. “Did you see the terrorists on the patio?” he told another patron at the bar.
A few weeks later, on Feb 22nd, he saw them again at the same bar. He asked them where they were from, and how they entered the country, calling one of them a terrorist. He then yelled - “Get out of my country!”. #Olathe.
