1) This is happening and this is a bold domestic terrorist "dare" (THREAT) to a legally elected State government. Please don't let this be forgotten. This will be decisive to democracy in many ways

2) RT from whatever source you want. Everyone is reporting it. Until Jan 21 we will be watching and the world will be reflecting on the nature of para-military organizations existing within the "most stable democracy in the world".

3) Because, c'mon: you really don't need to be a scholar in History to understand that calling these things anything except dangerous para-military groups, terrorist organizations waiting to commit acts of terror is an euphemism.

4) So, WORLD, look at this. A State governor in the USA is forced to declare an emergency state because of a DOMESTIC TERRORISM THREAT. These guys are the Trump supporters. Let's meditate on that, shall we?

1) Please RT far and wide. This is possibly the most important news now because it can turn into something Americans have never seen in terms of domestic terrorism in a few days.

1) I come from a country (Brazil) where education is federally controlled, although there are State and City schools with their management specificities.
2) There's a fascist-in-power there who is in love with the anti-secularist American evangelical ideas but they are and will remain illegal. The question is: how is this prayer "thing" going to be implemented without being anti-constitutional in the USA?
3) Are they going to built little white, neutral chapels like they have in some international airports, where students of any denomination can go and pray?

1) Quod erat demonstratum: Private Military Companies are the most dangerous organizations to global safety. They have no morals, no social responsibility and their business is amplifying WAR. Care to comment @G4S_USA?

courthousenews.com/us-contractors…
2) This present GOP-sponsored war with Iran is actually THEIR responsibility. Again, Care to comment @G4S_USA? Because they are the oldest and biggest, but we could call anyone here:

3) The proper term for them is MERCENARY. Mercenaries have always existed. However, in mature market economy, they are immense multi-national organization whose capital is many times the GNP of several countries. Yes, they rule the world.

SF officials brand @NRA "domestic terrorist organization." Coming next:

1) Some red state localities vote to brand anti-cop activists, pro-illegal-migrant NGOs, antifa as DTOs;

2) Many who applauded SF recoil at this inexplicable norm-busting.

washingtonexaminer.com/news/officials…
@NRA Also, 3) People continue to puzzle about why it is that American public life keeps getting stupider and angrier.
@NRA Back to SF: "While the vote was mostly symbolic, city officials were ordered to 'take every reasonable step to limit' business interactions with the NRA *and its supporters*." [my emphasis added] Whoops! /3 sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2019/09/04/nra…

State Government Debt Risk - a history that repeats too often!

As the work on building Amravati, the new capital city AP, comes to a grinding halt, concerns emerge about Amravati (APCRDA) bonds held by Franklin MF (~Rs. 1000 Cr) and Birla MF (Rs. ~300 Cr). Thread 1/11
During the Chandrababu Govt, Amravati received political as well as financial patronage. Now, with Jagan Reddy being incharge of the state, the project is in shambles. World Bank & ADB pulled out of the project and the Government is looking for reasons to scrap it. 2/n
The bonds issued to support the financing needs of the project were subscribed by Franklin MF and Birla MF. The bonds are guaranteed by the AP Govt but it's not sure if the Govt would keep servicing the bonds. The risk of lending to a state govt has again come to the fore. 3/11

Dear candidate for the 2019 elections in Nigeria. There’s a titanic struggle within the elite class. Many want political power for selfish gain. Development cannot happen under their leadership whether ours is a monarchy, democracy or military rule. Are you with them? #democracy
It has been very difficult for states, businesses and individuals to create wealth and develop since power was eroded from the regions in 1966 due to control by the federal government. It’s a constitutional issue. Will you work to change this structure? #democracy
Will you sacrifice personal ambition to remove policies that limit the ability of organisations and individuals to prosper, like the Land Use Act, so they can unlock their capital? Will you fight piracy so our innovators can create without people stealing their ideas? #democracy

Dear candidate for the 2019 elections in Nigeria. Do you believe that all men are created equal and deserve a basic level of comfort and dignity? That is the belief where democracy really works. If you don’t, you can’t facilitate development in a democracy. #democracy
How many countries have moved from the so called 3rd World to the so called 1st World in the last 100 years through American-style democracy? Hard to find. Few that developed had another brand of democracy. Elite in developing nations will not accept equality of all. #democracy
Dear citizen, you have to sift thoroughly to find candidates that believe you deserve to be served with dignity and excellence, not enslaved or colonized. Please sift well. Check their track records. Your future and that of generations after you is at stake. #democracy

Many people are too consume with the idea of owning a plot of land so sometimes feel too elated to do due verifications before making payment. In this thread, i will tell you how a survey plan search, an essential land check can save you from land trouble. THREAD👇👇👇
Before i go ahead, it is essential we understand what a survey plan means: A #Survey plan is a document that measures the boundary of a parcel of land to give an accurate measurement and description of that land #RealEstate #LandDebate
The people that handle #Survey issues are Surveyors and they are regulated by the office of the Surveyor general in #Lagos as it relates to survey issues in Lagos. #RealEstate
