🧵 THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he's standing between President Trump and a coup

@PeteHegseth named the institutions... CFR, Brookings, the general class... in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler . Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat.

They didn't go after him because of drinking. They didn't go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don't.

I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler This is not my theory. This is theirs.

Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan — the two most cited scholars in the color revolution field — studied 323 regime change campaigns. Their finding:

Security force defections make campaigns FORTY-SIX TIMES more likely to succeed. Image

@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler So what did co-author Maria Stephan do next?

She became Chief Organizer of the Horizons Project. And on July 16, 2025, she trained New Kings participants on video.

"Security forces refused to obey orders to repress protesters."

The visible tension in the Nigerian church today, where prominent ministry leaders embrace the title of Apostle while a segment of believers strictly oppose it, stems from a fundamental clash between scripture's historical descriptions and modern pastoral practice.
To understand this division, scripture distinguishes between "Foundational Apostles" like Peter and Paul, who were unique eyewitnesses to the resurrected Christ commissioned to lay the church's doctrinal foundation, and "Apostles of the Churches" like Timothy, Barnabas, and
Epaphroditus, who served as mobile emissaries, pioneering missionaries, and regional ministry overseers. In Nigeria's charismatic landscape, defenders of modern apostleship point to Ephesians 4:11-13 to argue that this secondary, functional gift remains active to equip the church

Médico da seleção confirmou: Neymar tem lesão grau 2 na panturrilha, até 3 semanas fora.

A torcida respira aliviada. "Só 3 semanas."

Mas a panturrilha tem uma característica que NENHUMA outra lesão muscular tem. E é justamente o que a imprensa não conta.

Vou destrinchar Image
A "panturrilha" é o tríceps sural, formado por:

📌 Gastrocnêmio (2 cabeças, cruza joelho e tornozelo)
📌 Sóleo (profundo, cruza só o tornozelo)

Os dois se unem no tendão de Aquiles.

Lesão grau 2 = ruptura parcial de fibras, com perda de função mensurável.

A localização exata (gastrocnêmio vs sóleo) muda o prognóstico.
Coorte que acompanhou 3.647 lesões musculares ao longo de 23 anos no futebol profissional.

O fator de risco mais forte para uma NOVA lesão de panturrilha é ter tido uma lesão de panturrilha recente.

O número: OR de 13,3 (IC 95% 9,6 a 18,4).

Tradução: quem teve uma, tem até 13x mais risco de ter outra.

20 ADHD EXPERIENCES THAT FINALLY HAVE NAMES:

1. body doubling — you can't start alone, but with someone nearby, it happens

2. time blindness — there's no "later." only now, or not yet
3. rejection sensitivity — one short reply and the whole day is over

4. hyperfocus — four hours gone on something that wasn't even the point

5. task paralysis — three things on the list. still can't move

6. revenge bedtime procrastination — staying up late just to own a few quiet hours

7. doom piles — the chair knows. the corner knows.
8. object permanence issues — if it's not visible, it doesn't exist right now

9. the wall of awful — a simple email feels like climbing something

10. sensory overload — one sound. that's all it takes

11. emotional flooding — fine, then not fine, within the same breath

12. analysis paralysis — asked what you want for lunch. system crash

Excited to share our study by @keylas3 et al. on pathological autoantibodies in people with Long COVID. We asked whether IgG in patients with Long COVID bind to human tissues/antigens and cause pathologies when transferred into mice. With @PutrinoLab

doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…Image
Using tissue-based staining, a human proteome array, ELISA, IgG-pull down and mass spec, we identified a wide array of autoantibodies in those with LC. IgG targeting neurological antigens, such as NMDAR, were elevated in LC. Collab with CellTrend and @C_Scheibenbogen 🙏🏼 Image
With SeromYx, we found that autoantibodies to MED20 in LC have undergone class switching to IgG from IgM, bind to many FcgRs, and induce robust phagocytosis when in immune complexes compared to IgG from control participants Image

Wonderful day for a new #LongCOVID paper! Thanks to an incredible collaboration with @VirusesImmunity and brilliant work done by @keylas3, we studied the effects of injecting antibodies taken from people with LC into mice compared with what happened



1/ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…Graphical abstract of the new paper highlighting the following key concepts: • Long COVID features autoantibodies targeting neural and vascular tissues • Patients’ IgG shows increased ADCP activity against MED20 • Passive transfer of IgG induces pain and fatigue-like phenotypes in mice • Mouse pain behavior after IgG transfer correlates with patient-reported chronic pain
when we injected antibodies taken from people who had fully recovered from COVID or never had COVID. This sort of experiment is called a “passive transfer” experiment and the results we saw were extremely interesting. First, when the antibodies were exposed to tissue samples
2/ Image
in a dish, the LC antibodies frequently created reactivity in the tissue that was not seen in the control samples. Second, when the animals were transferred autoantibodies from people with #LongCOVID, they got sick! The most prominent effect was seeing pain behaviors emerge in

Hamas was the state in Gaza, and UNRWA was the Gaza’s economy

It was completely inevitable that the two would have massive overlap

UNRWA could have recognized this reality and said something like “UNRWA operates under local authorities and can’t vet members and operations”
Instead, they reacted with outrage when Israel accurately pointed out the close connection, even though the comixing of UNRWA and Hamas facilities was reported by human rights orgs years ago

And this is the consequence, the likely end of US funding for UNRWA. Congrats guys
All of this is downstream from the international community successfully pressuring Israel to allow a terrorist group to become the government of half of Palestine, and then netenyahu cynically using that fact to further his power

Haven’t the results been grand!

Everything your doctor told you about managing autoimmunity is incomplete

Not wrong. Incomplete

After years as a patient and a practitioner, here are the HILLS I WILL DIE ON as an autoimmune survivor

Strap in. It'll be a bumpy ride

(THREAD 🧵) Image
HILL 1:

Autoimmunity doesn't start in the immune system.
It starts in the environment that trained it.

Your immune system learned what to attack from your gut lining, your toxic load, your light environment, your stress history.

The fire isn't the problem. The conditions that started it are.
HILL 2

Leaky gut is not a wellness blogger invention

It's in peer-reviewed gastroenterology literature.

Intestinal hyperpermeability
Tight junction dysfunction
Zonulin dysregulation

When your gut barrier breaks down, partially digested proteins enter circulation and your immune system has to make fast decisions about what's self and what's invader.

It gets it wrong. A lot

But unraveling the gut isn't just about a protocol, its about understanding the person on an individual level, their unique background, nervous system states, prior health history, terrain, antibiotic use, exposures....

This isn't a supplement and done problem

@stepeni_podcast Ta dlouhá pozice byla z části vytvořena už před válkou, v jejím očekávání a po vypuknutí naskočila až k rekordnímu objemu na přelomu března a dubna po útoku na Katar LNG. Pak přišlo nečekané příměří a prudký pád ceny, který spoustu spekulantů poslal do ztráty. 1/x
@stepeni_podcast Pozice se zmenšila, ale většina zůstala v očekávání dalších problémů, což se sice nakonec potvrdilo, ale neustálé zprávy o brzkém návratu k normálu, které působily další prudké propady ceny udělalo obchodníkům takové ztráty, že byli nuceni tyto pozice uzavírat kvůli max VaRu. 2/x
@stepeni_podcast Každá firma má totiž risk control oddělení, které má zamezit kritickému poškození a nedovolí přílišné ztráty. Trader, který ztrátou překročí svůj max Value at Risk musí pozice uzavřít a někdy má dokonce roku zákaz obchodování nebo je vyhozen. To se stalo velké spoustě lidí. 3/x

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Candace Owens @RealCandaceO did not tell you the real reason she is going to Russia.

Candace will be joining Putin, Dugin & many Russian gov't, intel & propaganda operatives as a speaker at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

She said she "might" meet Dugin due to "Zionist lore" about him, as if her critics are making the meeting happen. The truth: Dugin was already scheduled as a speaker at the same event as her.Image
Image
Image
SPIEF, where Candace will speak on a panel, is a known hub for Russian intel. Leaked docs show that its panels serve as "recruitment pipelines" for foreign collaborators.

Top goals are "media partnerships" with "foreign influencers" as part of "state-directed soft power programs."

Its Organizing Committee includes Putin's top advisors & senior intel officials.Image
Image
Image
SPIEF is a hotspot for Russian intelligence's dirtiest activities--so dirty that one of Epstein's closest friends led SPIEF. He is a FSB Academy graduate & will also join Candace as a speaker there.

SPIEF helped Epstein get a Russian visa by inviting him to the event. Epstein helped SPIEF recruit attendees.

According to the SPIEF official's recommendation letter for Epstein's Russian assistant, she worked closely with SPIEF's Organizing Committee and was asked to speak at the event.

The Epstein files revealed that Epstein asked for the SPIEF official's help in dealing with a Russian model who was blackmailing powerful businessmen in New York. The SPIEF official provided him with information about her.

Epstein appears to have threatened her life by warning her that he'd send the FSB after her as an "enemy of the [Russian] people."

SPIEF is widely reported to swarm with Russian models & escorts who target affluent men. Many of them are likely doing so as part of honeypot intel operations to acquire "kompromat."Image

Explications techniques sur l'accident caténaire, pourquoi on perd la clim, et pourquoi on peut prendre une amende en ouvrant une porte.

Thread ⤵️⤵️⤵️ Image
L'arrachement de la caténaire est une des pire scenario en terme de gestion de crise.

On se retrouve souvent avec une ou plusieurs rames plantées en pleine campagne, et sans courant.

Donc plein de personnes en galère d'un coup.
Sur un double TGV OUIGO, on a 1300 PAX minimum.

Je vous laisse imaginer la gestion de crise.
