My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some things of those things #Thread
First, you're never going to win a head on battle with an adversary that's got you outgunned. That's not the point of the Resistance. The point is to create friction, make it hard for your adversary to operate, to increase transaction costs.
Second, resistance doesn't have to be a dramatic act. It can be a small act, like losing a sheet of paper, taking your time processing something, not serving someone in a restaurant. Small acts taken by thousands have big effects.
🧵1- Mr Greedy chasse toutes les Ressources de la Terre, les sécurisant au sens bancaire. Après le Vénézuela devenu la première ressource en pétrole, gaz et produits dérivés du Monde , il veut le Groenland, pour avoir alors la plus grosse part de la nouvelle galette Arctique.
2- En effet, rien ne va plus depuis que la dorsale de Lomonossov a été découverte par la disparition de l'épais manteau de glace, la banquise. Sa couche est fine et les appareils ont permis de voir le fond... L'arrangement précédent entre loups, ours... ne tient plus, ces
3- cerveaux reptiliens vont se battre, Satan contre Satan... Ils veulent tous détenir les Ressources de la Terre, pour le Pouvoir et Dominer alors ce Monde. Pensez alors aussi au film "Le Mage du Kremlim" présenté au Festival du film à Venise 2025 (The Wizard of the Kremlin)...
The suitcases full of cash moving through Minneapolis St. Paul Airport fit the profile of a Hawala money broker settling balances in cash. What is Hawala? 🧵👇
Hawala is a network of money brokers that function like an unregulated Western Union of the Middle East and North Africa. Brokers keep large amounts of cash and communicate outside of the regulated banking system. When you wish to send money to someone in, say, Somalia, where there is little to no presence of banking institutions, a Hawaladar broker may be your only option.
Say a Hawaladar in Minneapolis has a client who requests to send $1,000 USD to Puntland, Somalia. The Hawaladar accept the cash and takes a cut (say, 3%) and contacts a Hawaladar in Puntland. They agree on an authorization method (a challenge-response phrase , authentication token, or ID pair) and provide that method to the sender. The sender provides the authorization method to the recipient, and the recipient picks up their cash from the Hawaladar in Puntland, less the service fee that both Hawaladars collect.
🚨: Copenhagen physicists assert that reality ‘responds’ to human choices in reverse
A provocative claim from physicists in Copenhagen is reigniting deep questions about the nature of time, causality, and human decision making. According to their interpretation of quantum experiments, reality may not flow strictly forward as we experience it.
Instead, certain outcomes appear to respond to choices retroactively, as if future decisions influence past events at the quantum level. This idea challenges classical physics and invites a radical rethink of how cause and effect truly operate.
The NYT has a new video analysis of Renee Good's shooting which is careful, accurate, and clear - he walked across the path of a moving car, then leaned in and shot her with his feet well clear of the vehicle. 1/

Not many media outlets have specialized video analysis teams. CNN posted a video last week that showed Ross crossing in front of Good's car, but they missed the significance. The NYT's multicamera, frame-by-frame analysis is what's needed to understand. 2/
The NYT gets exactly right those parts of the sequence this account had separately verified, including 1) Ross switches his phone from R to L hand as he leans into his own car, and 2) Ross places his phone hand on Good's hood. They are solid. 3/

¿Creéis que vuestro casero es chungo?
Pues en la Irlanda del XIX hubo un casero TAN CHUNGO que su apellido se convirtió en un verbo que significa "Impedir o entorpecer la realización de un acto como medio de presión para conseguir algo".

En 1854, un joven inglés llamado Charles Cunningham se trasladó a la isla de Achill, al oeste de Irlanda. Hijo de familia pudiente, salía de una carrera militar fallida y llegaba a las verdes tierras de Éire dispuesto a ser un hombre rico y de provecho.
En esa época, Irlanda vivía una situación bastante peluda: acababa de salir de la Gran Hambruna del 45, que había diezmado a la población, bien llevándola a los camposantos, bien obligándola a emigrar.
Por tanto, las verdes tierras de cultivo eran un bien muy preciado.

Microclots found in those with Long COVID restrict blood flow in small vessels.
This can cause symptoms such as:
- severe fatigue
- chest pain
- brain fog
New research might have discovered why they are so difficult to dissolve...🧵

French and South African researchers isolated blood samples from:

Typical clots are made of a protein (fibrin) that is cross-linked like a web (left image).
However, the researchers found microclots with DNA-protein webs embedded inside (right image).
These clots are more difficult for the body to dissolve.
But where is the DNA coming from?

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM UPDATE 2:
Good morning from Switzerland!
People frequently ask if it’s dangerous for someone like me to attend the WEF.
No.

Schwab is the founder of the WEF, and, until recently, was its sole chairman since 1971.
Last year a coup forced the octogenarian Schwab out and he was replaced by Blackrock CEO Larry Fink & Roche Holding AG (think pharmaceuticals) CEO André Hoffman.

A "Paradox" is a statement that seems contradictory but actually contains a hidden truth.
Once you see them, your worldview changes forever.

Here are my 10 favorite mind-bending paradoxes that will upgrade your thinking & decision making: 🧵
1. The Paradox of Choice
1. The Paradox of Choice:
Logic says more options = more freedom. Psychology says more options = anxiety and analysis paralysis.
When you have too many choices, you are less likely to pick one, and less satisfied with the one you do pick.
Constraints create creativity.

2. The Stockdale Paradox:
Named after Admiral James Stockdale, a prisoner of war for 7 years.
He survived by doing two contradictory things:
• Maintaining faith that he would prevail in the end.
• Confronting the brutal facts of his current reality.
Blind optimism kills.

Una de las características más destacadas, y a la vez más atacadas, del Imperio español es que operaba bajo una norma civilizadora. Y lo hacía en el sentido más literal del término: fue un imperio constructor de ciudades, desde ellas se ordenaba el imperio. Esto merece un hilo:
Y es que las ciudades del Imperio español no surgen por crecimiento espontáneo. Las cientos de ciudades que se construyeron nacieron siempre de un acto fundacional solemne, jurídico y político. Antes que el comercio o la vivienda, en el modelo español se instituye la autoridad.
Ese acto se establece en un punto concreto: la Plaza de Armas. Esta no es una plaza decorativa, sino el núcleo desde el que se ordena toda la ciudad. El vacío central que da forma al conjunto. Es el núcleo desde el que se despliega la norma civilizadora del Imperio español.
Fenbendazole is the future of cancer treatment.
It's helped terminal cancer patients achieve complete remission when chemo failed.
Big Pharma can't patent it, so they ignore it.

Fenben is a cheap veterinary medication you can buy at any pet store.
@MakisMedicine has documented complete cancer remissions in advanced patients using this drug.

Fenben attacks cancer in three ways:
• Breaks its ability to divide
• Starves it of glucose
• Forces cell death
Healthy cells stay mostly unaffected.

One of the reasons I got serious about reporting about pediatric gender medicine is that when I tweeted in Dec 2022 that it was a shame that researchers were discouraged from studying detransitioning, Alejandra Caraballo brutally attacked me on Twitter.
I was not going to let a bully push me around and lie about me, for one thing. And two, I knew that any field which was guarded so aggressively by activists forbiddng anyone from asking *reasonable and substantive questions* had to be newsworthy and important.
And I quickly realized that most reporters were too scared of the Caraballos of the world, meaning there was a massive amount of uncovered territory for me as a reporter, so long as I could stand being routinely attacked, maligned, defamed, lied about, excommunicated, and so on.

To this day, the activists who routinely attack me on Bluesky can never come up with anything substantive to say that I've done wrong. So they either fabricate wild lies about me, including that I'm a deranged pervert (the person who is most responsible for this lie knows exactly what she did), or just smear me generally, calling me "creepy," "a stalker," "a hack," etc. Or they just say I'm a transphobe. Perhaps the only claim of any pseudo substance they make is that they think the words I choose, such as "biological sex," are dog whistles. To that I say they are wrong.

The predominant effect of a 1.4 million rial to the dollar hyperinflation combined with Regime Security Force public lockdown is the Iranian lower class has been set up to starve.
The lower class cannot go to work to get money to buy food.

Nor can Iran's lower class budget the money it has to plan what food it can buy week to week because of inflation.
Iran's hyperinflation has gone on long enough that the Iranian lower class has traded everything it can barter, already, for food.
