1. Information is POWER and can make changes in the world. Let's review what just happened. goo.gl/MWMRUy
2. Less than 2 weeks ago @DanielleBMcLean & I revealed, for the first time, the investors in Bob Mercer's hedge fund goo.gl/MWMRUy
3. We were inspired by @Bernstein's piece, which clearly documents how Breitbart & Milo laundered white nationalism goo.gl/Cg1dYv
4. Then @slpng_giants took action, mobilizing thousands of people to contact these investors goo.gl/Hq2xcp
5. Today, with the investors under pressure, Bob Mercer stepped down from his hedge fund. But there is more. goo.gl/MWMRUy
6. Mercer also denounced Milo. The main source of funding for Milo's hateful clown show is gone goo.gl/MWMRUy
7. Mercer also sold his stake in Breibart to his daughter. This is more of a ploy but there is significance goo.gl/MWMRUy
8. He's acknowledging the reputable institutions need distance from a place like Breitbart. That is a good thing goo.gl/MWMRUy

1. It's important to understand that the 2000 mile border wall is not Trump's idea.

It is Steve King's idea. How do I know? I wrote about it 13 YEARS AGO.

King went to the House floor and actually constructed a model wall.

2. Here is what King said July 11, 2006: "So when I get down there and sit on that border, what I do is I come to this conclusion, we can’t shut that off unless we build a fence and a wall. I want to put the fence in, but I want to put a wall in, and I designed one. "
3. More King (7/11/06): "Our little construction company could build a mile a day of this pretty easily, once you’ve got your system going. The whole two thousand miles are not going to work that way, but a lot of it will work this way"

The government is shut down because Trump wants to build Steve King’s wall
IDEA: Stop letting a Congressman who openly embraced white supremacy to set the nation’s policy agenda
LISTEN UP WHITE SUPREMACISTS: There is no place for you in Republican Party except co-chair of a major presidential campaign, chair of a prestigious subcommittee, support from the POTUS, and setting the policy agenda for the entire party

First Time Share Investors: Firstly you need to make the decision to invest in shares and understand that there will be a little bit of learning that must take place and understand the secret is to invest Surplus money and not money you need immediately #SharesInvestment
What are shares: Companies issue shares to raise money from investors. Maybe a company needs to fund groundbreaking research, open a division in a foreign country, or hire talented engineers. They are intangible assets that give you ownership in a company #SharesInvestment
That’s why they’re also known as equities or equity investments. Owning a share entitles you to part of a company’s earnings and assets. So Buying a Vodacom share for instance means you own part of the company and you have two important rights #SharesInvestment

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

1 .When I think of European immigrants I tend to have one friend in mind.
2. It’s not that I don’t have lots of European friends, but I have only sat down with one, and with the help of a photo album, extensively talked about her time in France and her move to Britain. I know when she came and why.
3. A few years ago my friend took out a mortgage, and I think it was shortly after that she was diagnosed with cancer.

NEXT UP: #4 Tasmanian Devil Vs. #5 Water Deer!!! #2018MMM
Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) devoured the ghost bat in the first round, while Water Deer (Hydropotes inermis) managed to scare away the solenodon (none of this was controversial at all amongst the fandom...) #truth #2018MMM
The T. Devil is 6-8kg (that's 27-36 stoats for those of you playing at home) and can catch mammals up to 30 kg. The Water Deer weighs in at 9-14 kg (40-63 stoats). #stoatsasmeasurement #2018MMM

1. My first best friend, when I was 6, was a boy named Steven Wu. Steven's Mom was an acupuncturist, and one day after we dropped Steven off, my Dad told me acupuncture was against the law. My first experience of perceiving crime as glamourous.
2. When I was 11 years old, my father bought a CB radio. My CB handle was "Timber Wolf".

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
