🧵 Secrets Behind Symbols You Use Every Day!
(thread ahead)

You see @, &, $ every day, but their origins are wild! From ancient scribes to Viking kings, these symbols hide epic stories. Let’s unpack their secrets in this thread. Buckle up! 🧵👇

1/9: The Ampersand (&)

The & symbol, meaning "and," was born in ancient Rome over 2,000 years ago. Scribes, tired of writing "et" (Latin for "and"), squished the letters into a curly shape.

By the 1800s, kids reciting the alphabet called it "and per se and," which slurred into "ampersand." Fun fact: it was once the 27th letter of the English alphabet!

Imagine typing & instead of "and" in texts.

👮🧵 Unmasking Romeo's: The Undercover Cops Who Turn Peaceful Protests Violent
thread

"Ever wonder who starts fights at peaceful Dutch (and Belgian) protests? Meet the Romeo's, undercover cops meant to keep order. But I’ve seen them beat people and spark chaos to shut protests down. Let’s uncover the truth. 👇
#RomeosExposed
#ProtestTruth"

1/11: Who Are the Romeo's?

Romeo's are undercover police officers in the Netherlands, part of the Mobile Unit’s Arrest Team. They don’t wear uniforms, so they’re supposed to blend into crowds at protests or big events. The police say they’re specially trained to handle tense situations quietly, like spotting someone dangerous and taking them out without making a scene. Sounds like a good plan, but that’s not the whole story.

Here’s the thing: Romeo's are meant to be anonymous, but they’re easy to spot. They look like the troublemakers they’re supposed to stop, big guys in hoodies, always with scarves or masks covering their faces. They move in packs, and their vibe screams "trouble." So much for undercover. Too often, these guys seem to be the ones causing the trouble, not stopping it.

Below 2 examples

First Malieveld where Romeo's jump out of a police van to start chaos and even push a women in front of another police van.

Second a peaceful Palestine protest that is being raided by one or more Romeo's.

🇾🇪🧵 Yemen Unmasked: What the West Misses About a Remarkable Nation
thread

🇾🇪🧵Let’s dive into Yemen more than war, resilient, vibrant, honorable. The West sees chaos, misses coffee’s birthplace, poets, dreamers, rich honey, old pride. This is the real Yemen, thriving beyond Western blind spots. 👇

1) Yemen’s People: A Spirit the West Can’t Grasp

Yemenis 34.7 million strong are a force of nature the West barely understands. They’re not just “war victims”; they’re proud Arabs with a lineage tied to the Queen of Sheba, masters of survival who farm arid lands and fish vibrant seas.

Tribal ties bind them closer than any government, a network of loyalty Western analysts dismiss as “backward.” Poets recite in Sanaa’s alleys, silversmiths hammer art in markets while the West fixates on drones, Yemenis live with joy and grit the headlines miss.

Surprise Twist: The West sips Yemen’s legacy daily coffee from Mocha yet couldn’t place it on a map.

🧵 Operation Gladio, NATO’s Secret Cold War Army
thread

Did you know that a secret NATO army bombed civilians to stop communists? In 1972, an Italian operative confessed, “I did it,” exposing Gladio’s dark Cold War plot. Hidden weapons, coups, and terror, this thread uncovers its shocking story. Read on for the truth 👇

2) The Peteano Attack

On May 31, 1972, in Peteano, Italy (a small, quiet town with humid air), three police officers approached an old Fiat 500 reported as suspicious.

One touched the hood, and *bam* an explosion ripped them apart, leaving blood and chaos behind. Newspapers quickly blamed the Red Brigades, a communist group, as fear of the left was common then.

Years later, in a courtroom, Vincenzo Vinciguerra, a neo-fascist tied to Gladio, spoke calmly: “I set the bomb to hurt the left and scare people.” His words pointed to Operation Gladio, a secret NATO project that began decades earlier.

📰🧵Media Manipulation:
How It Works and Why It’s Dangerous

Media manipulation uses a playbook to shape your thoughts subtly, repetition, emotional pulls, half-truths dressed as facts, and herd pressure. Let’s unpack the tactics, spot them in action, and arm you to cut through the noise 👇

1) The Power of Repetition: Drilling the Message

If you hear something enough times, it starts to stick whether it’s true or not. Media uses repetition to make ideas feel familiar and unquestionable, like a slogan you can’t shake. Joseph Goebbels nailed it: “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.” During the pandemic, constant updates on case numbers and mask rules made any pushback seem unreasonable, even when the science wasn’t settled.
