En 1966 un escritor al borde de la quiebra decidió irse de vacaciones a Europa con su familia. Cuando regresaron, su libro, se había convertido en un éxito: El Padrino de Mario Puzo. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Antes de alcanzar el éxito, Puzo estaba sumido en las deudas. Cuando dejó la novela en las oficinas de su editor, pidió que no lo sacasen todavía a la venta, porque aunque el argumento estaba finalizado, todavía quería corregirlo, ya que había muchas partes que no lo convencían.

Cuando llegó a Estados Unidos tras su viaje por Europa fue a la editorial para intentar sacarles algún dólar, pero lo recibieron de una manera diferente. Aquel día tenían con él una amabilidad poco habitual y hasta el editor le dio un gran abrazo cuando entró en su despacho.

Lord Dunsany (1878 – 1957)
~The Memory [Of Tartaria]

He was a pioneer of fantasy writing and an influence on the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and H.P. Lovecraft.
[yes, from the SAME manuscripts in the Bodleian library that Tolkien and Lewis et al got their 'Inspiration' from]

-------------------------------------------------------

~I watch the doctors walking with the nurses to and fro
And I hear them softly talking in the garden where they go,

~But I envy not their learning, nor their right of walking free,
For the emperor of Tartaria has died for love of me.

~I can see his face all golden beneath his night-black hair,
And the temples strange and olden in the gleaming eastern air,

~Where he walked alone and sighing because I would not sail
To the lands where he was dying for a love of no avail.

~He had seen my face by magic in a mirror that they make
For those rulers proud and tragic by their lotus-covered lake,

~Where there hangs a pale-blue tiling on an alabaster wall.
And he loved my way of smiling, and loved nothing else at all.

~There were peacocks there and peaches, and green monuments of jade,
Where macaws with sudden screeches made the little dogs afraid,

~And the silver fountains sprinkled foreign flowers on the sward
As they rose and curved and tinkled for their listless yellow lord.

~Ah well, he’s dead and rotten in his far magnolia grove,
But his love is unforgotten and I need no other love,

~And with open eyes when sleeping, or closed eyes when awake,
I can see the fountains leaping by the borders of the lake.

~They call it my delusion; they may call it what they will,
For the times are in confusion and are growing wilder still,

~And there are no splendid memories in any face I see.
But an emperor of Tartaria has died for love of me.

If I were Lord of Tartary, Myself, and me alone,
My bed should be of ivory, Of beaten gold my throne;
And in my court should peacocks flaunt,
And in my forests tigers haunt,
And in my pools great fishes slant Their fins athwart the sun.

If I were Lord of Tartary,
Trumpeters every day
To all my meals should summon me,
And in my courtyards bray;
And in the evening lamps should shine, Yellow as honey, red as wine,
While harp, and flute, and mandoline
Made music sweet and gay.

If I were Lord of Tartary,
I'd wear a robe of beads,
White, and gold, and green they'd be —
And small and thick as seeds;
And ere should wane the morning star,
I'd don my robe and scimitar.
And zebras seven should draw my car
Through Tartary's dark gleades.

Lord of the fruits of Tartary.
Her rivers silver-pale!
Lord of the hills of Tartary.
Glen, thicket, wood, and dale!
Her flashing stars, her scented breeze,
Her trembling lakes, like foamless seas,
Her bird-delighting citron-trees,
In every purple vale!

ΣΤΑΤΙΝΕΣ – ΑΝΤΙΣΤΑΣΗ ΣΤΗΝ ΙΝΣΟΥΛΙΝΗ & ΓΥΝΑΙΚΕΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΕΜΜΗΝΟΠΑΥΣΗ

Μελέτη που δημοσιεύτηκε στο Cell Metabolism παρακολούθησε άτομα για 16 εβδομάδες. Η μία ομάδα έλαβε στατίνες. Η άλλη όχι.

▶️Τα ευρήματα είναι ειλικρινά σοκαριστικά.

Μέχρι το τέλος της μελέτης, τα άτομα που έλαβαν στατίνη είχαν δραματικά χαμηλότερα επίπεδα GLP-1, περίπου στα ΜΙΣΑ από εκεί που ξεκίνησαν!

Γιατί αυτό έχει τεράστια σημασία?

Η GLP-1 είναι η ίδια ορμόνη που φάρμακα όπως το Ozempic και το Wegovy έχουν σχεδιαστεί για να ενισχύσουν, δείχνοντας πόσο σημαντική είναι στην πραγματικότητα αυτή η πτώση. Και δεν σταμάτησε εκεί ο κατήφορος:

🆘Το σάκχαρο στο αίμα τους αυξήθηκε, η ινσουλίνη νηστείας τους αυξήθηκε και η αντίσταση στην ινσουλίνη τους επιδεινώθηκε.

Το τελευταίο μέρος έχει μεγαλύτερη σημασία από ό,τι αντιλαμβάνονται οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι.

Να σας εξηγήσω:

▶️Η αντίσταση στην ινσουλίνη δεν είναι απλώς ένα «πρόβλημα σακχάρου στο αίμα». Είναι το θεμέλιο πολλών σύγχρονων χρόνιων ασθενειών - καρδιακές παθήσεις, εγκεφαλικό επεισόδιο, λιπώδες ήπαρ, διαβήτης τύπου 2, σύνδρομο πολυκυστικών ωοθηκών, νόσος Αλτσχάιμερ (συχνά ονομάζεται διαβήτης τύπου 3), χρόνια φλεγμονή, ορισμένοι καρκίνοι, παχυσαρκία, υψηλή αρτηριακή πίεση, νεφρική νόσος και επιταχυνόμενη γήρανση.

Είναι πραγματικά δύσκολο να βρεις μια σοβαρή χρόνια πάθηση που δεν οφείλεται στην αντίσταση στην ινσουλίνη!

▶️Γιατί έχει μεγάλη σημασία για τις γυναίκες?

Για τις γυναίκες στην εμμηνόπαυση, αυτό έχει ακόμη μεγαλύτερη σημασία. Τα χαμηλότερα οιστρογόνα ήδη αυξάνουν το κοιλιακό λίπος, την αντίσταση στην ινσουλίνη και εφόσον οι στατίνες μειώνουν επίσης την GLP-1, μπορεί να κάνει το βάρος μέσης ηλικίας και τις μεταβολικές αλλαγές ακόμη πιο δύσκολο να διαχειριστούν.

▶️Και να το θέμα:

Περισσότεροι από 1 στους 4 ενήλικες άνω των 40 ετών λαμβάνουν συνταγογραφούμενα φάρμακα για τη μείωση της χοληστερόλης, και η συντριπτική πλειοψηφία αυτών είναι στατίνες. Χρησιμοποιούνται από εκατομμύρια ανθρώπους κάθε μέρα, συχνά για δεκαετίες.

Και όμως, αυτή η μελέτη δεν έγινε πρωτοσέλιδο. Δεν πυροδότησε εκτεταμένη συζήτηση.

Οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι που λαμβάνουν στατίνες δεν έχουν ενημερωθεί ποτέ για αυτές τις μεταβολικές επιδράσεις. Κανείς δεν τους ενημερώνει.

Όταν κάτι τόσο σημαντικό όσο μια μείωση 50% της GLP-1 εμφανίζεται σε μια σοβαρή μελέτη, οι άνθρωποι αξίζουν διαφάνεια. Οι ασθενείς αξίζουν ειλικρίνεια. Οι γιατροί αξίζουν επίγνωση. Οι οικογένειες αξίζουν σαφήνεια…

1/ So-called 'black commanders' are confiscating Russian soldiers' salary cards, then sending them to their deaths, failing to report them missing or killed, and stealing their salaries. This scam is reportedly widespread and has prompted many complaints from soldiers. ⬇️

2/ The 'Brothers in Arms' Telegram channel describes how the scam works:

"'Black commanders' are those who do not report soldiers as missing when communication is lost or a soldier is killed."

3/ "On paper, the person is still listed, and money continues to be deposited into their account. But who has the card? Take a guess. Modern-day “dead souls,” damn it.

🧵 THREAD: NCRI's Analysis: How Abuse of 𝕏's Platform boosted Nick Fuentes

A few days ago, @elonmusk got "ratioed" by Nick Fuentes.

The air quotes are intentional. There was nothing organic about the ratio.

This morning, Network Contagion Research Institute (@ncri_io) released a forensic breakdown of how Nick Fuentes' sudden rise over the past year was driven by synthetic amplification, foreign engagement clusters, and coordinated raid behavior.

I read the full report and asked NCRI some clarifying questions about their methodology. The findings are staggering.

As always, patience as I pull this thread together. 👇

@elonmusk @ncri_io You can download the breaking report here: networkcontagion.us/reports/americ…

@elonmusk @ncri_io The topline claim: Fuentes’s "influence" did not emerge entirely organically. Instead, it was manufactured by unusually fast, unusually concentrated, and unusually foreign engagement patterns, the kind normally associated with coordinated manipulation networks.

Theres a very long list of US products that cannot be sold in the EU thanks to EU regulations. Since the favorite pastime of the Trump regime and every US oligarch is now to demonize EU regulations, I thought it would be very much worth going through some of those products.🧵

US Instant Mashed Potatoes

Stuffed with enough BHA and BHT preservatives to give the product an expiration date of absolutely never, the EU decided to outright ban the product, depriving Europeans from what is otherwise a cheap and convenient way to encourage hairloss.

US Pork

Because American pigs are often fed large amounts of ractopamine, a drug that does wonders in increasing muscle growth in pigs and cancer in humans, the EU has deemed the product unsafe and banned it, seemingly without much concern for the profits of US oligarchs.

There are, in fact, quite a number of Westerners who have escaped the "unelected EU bureaucracy" over the past four years to embrace true liberty in Russia, and I took it upon myself to document their stories.

Welcome to "Vatnik FAFO Stories", the definitive edition!🧵

A Vatnik's Guide to the Galaxy

In May 2023, having had enough of the decadent LGBTQ EU, a Slovak man, whom I shall name Flipper for a very particular reason, decided to deal a severe blow to the Western world by moving to the promised land, Russia.

Sometimes, all it takes for a vatnik to have a change of heart is as little as walking across 5 borders, swimming across a river into Russia, running into FSB, spending some time in the Russian penal system, and getting extradited. This will be a grand epic of FAFO and redemption.

Flipper is a trained musician skilled in playing the cello and piano and composing operas and symphonies, a talent he put to good use by creating timeless pieces of art such as "Long Live Russia" and several "Odes to Putin".

Possibly unaware that Russia has an embassy in Slovakia and is quite happy to legally welcome dumbasses such as him, Flipper made his way across Europe on foot and eventually reached Estonia, where he figured swimming across the half frozen Narva River is his best bet.

Shortly after stepping foot on Russian territory, hypothermic but excited, he took off his floating ring and attempted to impress the FSB agents who picked him up by showing them his pro-Russian songs. Presumably unimpressed, they proceeded to beat him to a pulp. confiscate his phone, accuse him of being a Western spy, and quickly throw him in jail.

He would write in his prison diary, with much surprise: "They arrested me and put me in a cell with 60 people. The toilet was a hole in the ground, like an open sewer. I used to put cotton wool in my ears so that the bugs wouldn't get in, we even had rats in some of the cells and the prison authorities never did anything about it."

Fortunately, Flipper would only spend 2 months in Russia as the Slovakian diplomacy was able to bring their dumb prodigal son back home. Reflecting on his time in the Russian prison, he expressed his empathy for Ukrainian prisoners, believing that they must suffer immensely. He criticized the treatment they receive, describing it as barbaric.

The Vatnik Manifesto

In 2014, a Texas man decided to leave his comfortable US life behind and crowdfund his way into Donbas on a "fact-finding mission". His "mission" will take a decade to complete but I'm happy to let you all know it appears to have just now been concluded, after having found those "facts".

Born in the 60s, this lone red cowboy flirted with the idea of socialism since his teenage years. Later on, just as all of Cuba was trying to get into the US, he was trying to get into Cuba, which he eventually succeeded in doing.

Having seen firsthand the level of poverty and lack of even the most basic of freedoms in the country, he ditched socialism and became an outright full-fledged communist.

Upon his return to the US, after a very failed attempt at becoming a US Senator, he did what any good Marxist would and started a drug smuggling and distribution business. His little enterprise went about as well as communism did, and will end with him being convicted to 5 years and 3 months in prison.

After spending about 5 years and 2 months in prison and with just about a month left before his release, he took a cold hard look at the math of his dilemma and decided to escape. He will go on to spend almost 9 years as a wanted fugitive, mostly because nobody really bothered to look for him. He will eventually get caught in 2007 and will be sent away to serve the remaining month.

Eventually, he will be taken captive and meet his end at the hands of drunk Russian troops, the same Russian soliders he fought alongside since 2015. Following a decade of looking for Nazis in Ukraine, he will finally find them.

Some people never post photos online.

No selfies. No updates. No “look at me” moments.

In a world built for attention, their silence stands out.

Here’s what psychology says it really means:

1. Privacy over popularity

They’re not antisocial, they’re intentional.

Psychologists call it a high privacy orientation.

They value control over what others see and think about them.

They don’t overshare because they know peace needs protection.

2. Self-validation > social validation

Most people post for likes. They don’t need to.

Their self-worth isn’t crowdsourced.

They rely on inner alignment, not external approval.

That’s quiet confidence, not insecurity.

1/🧵 The shocking part is when you put it all together, you see very clearly how the administration thinks about America's place in the world, its expectations, its priorities, how it views others. This is perhaps the last wake-up call for Europe – Interview link in comments.

2/🧵 Some senior members of the US Congress were long time champions of the transatlantic relationship. They have disappeared. They don't say anything, and are either terrified of Trump, or are looking for some way to slow this down. I'm not hopeful – Interview link in comments.

Narcissists don’t just project their flaws onto other people — they install them.
This is projective identification, and it’s one of the most dangerous psychological tactics they use.

1. They can’t tolerate their own flaws
Anything that threatens their inflated self-image — envy, deceit, insecurity, cruelty, malicious intent — is impossible for them to admit.
So instead of facing it, they shove those traits into someone else.

2. They pick a target who can carry the projection
Usually someone empathetic, self-reflective, or vulnerable.
Someone who second-guesses themselves.
Someone with a history of abuse trauma.
Someone who already plays the “peacekeeper” role.
🧵

3. They provoke the target until the target begins acting out the projection
This is key.
The narcissist doesn’t just accuse — they engineer.
They’ll push, needle, gaslight, guilt-trip, or stonewall until the target looks exactly like the thing the narcissist is projecting:
“You’re angry.” (after they provoke rage)
“You’re unstable.” (after they twist reality)
“You’re selfish.” (after they take everything and leave crumbs)
The narcissist creates the reaction and then uses that reaction as “proof.”

4. They now see the target as the embodiment of their own “bad self”
Once the narcissist installs their unwanted traits into someone else, they begin reacting to that person as if the person is the source of the flaw.
It’s not metaphorical — in their mind, it’s real.
The target becomes the narcissist’s “external sin-bin.”

5. And then the narcissist attacks, devalues, or discards the target
Because now, getting rid of you feels like getting rid of their own shame, fear, envy, or cruelty.
This is why the narcissist’s rage can feel disproportionate:
they’re not fighting you — they’re fighting the part of themselves they refuse to acknowledge.
This is also why the abuse feels personal and targeted:
because it is.

6. Why they do it
Because the narcissist’s entire psychological survival depends on:
avoiding shame
avoiding self-awareness
avoiding responsibility
protecting their fantasy self-image
They project those inner threats to an external target/person.
Destroy the target = destroy the evidence.

Data-driven takeaways and important notes from Week 14 NFL action

🧵⬇️

After Bucky dominated work in Wk13, the Bucs used more of a committee approach in Wk14. All 3 of their RBs got legitimate work, each above 6.5 XFP (Bucky led way at 11).

White chipped in for 31% of the RB routes (Bucky at 40%), while Sean Tucker got the sole goal line rush.

Once again, we saw a shift in usage for the Jaguars RBs. Etienne acted as a workhorse in Wk14, with a 90.1% (!) rush share.

Tuten did fumble in this one, but had just 2 snaps prior to said fumble. Etienne is obviously RB1 right now, but we’ve seen plenty of shifts in usage here

"There were so many bodies on the road that we had to cover the children’s eyes." — 37-year-old Olena, lucky to escape the hell of Mariupol.

On February 24th at 4:30 a.m., we woke up to explosions.

Our houses still had electricity, water, gas, and heating. The mayor said everything was under control. So we tried not to panic. We bought bread and milk and returned home

2/13

By the evening of February 26th, the explosions were closer. We started going down to the basement.
Soon, the water, electricity, and heating went out. Phones were dead. We ran to the shelter whenever we heard planes. With no gas, we cooked outside over a fire.

Trumps Plan für Europa - ‼️"Was da in der US-Sicherheitsstrategie steht, ist Kremlsprech"‼️

Neu ist es nicht, was die US-Regierung in ihre Sicherheitsstrategie geschrieben hat, das meiste hat man schon von Donald Trump oder seinen Leuten gehört, sagt USA-Experte Thomas Jäger.

RADIKAL ist es dennoch:
‼️Trump sieht die Europäische Union als Gegner, der ZERSTÖRT werden muss
▶️ "Eigentlich fehlt nur der Satz, dass Russland sich in der Ukraine ja bloß verteidigt", sagt Jäger. "Ansonsten sind das genau die Punkte, d. man im Kreml auch so aufsagen könnte."

Trumps Regierung verkündet seit Monaten, dass Europa so werden soll wie die Trump-USA, in denen die
‼️Demokratie zurückgebaut wird und die MEDIENMACHTin den Händen von immer WENIGER KONZERNEN liegt.

🚨ANOTHER EXCLUSIVE: UsForThem reveals content of key document concealed by UK Govt following false official statement. Thread🧵

On Sunday, the Telegraph reported on the Covid-era silencing of the UK Govt's ethics committee, first exposed by UsForThem in 2023.

In that piece...

...DHSC is quoted as saying that "the claims that MEAG were told by the chief medical officer not to put their recommendations in writing are categorically untrue." However, the Government's own official documentation contradicts that statement. Read on.

The 'not in writing' point was first flagged in our 2023 book, The Accountability Deficit, following our review of the official meeting records of MEAG which had been published by DHSC. The relevant meeting record is dated 20 January 2021.

As shown in the next post, it states:

GEL DE DEVRİMCİ OLMA
1962 yılında,7 yaşında iken,
köyden şehire göç ettik. Bir odalı bir ev kiraladı babam. Beş çocuk bir odada yaşardık. Mutfakta aynı oda içinde. Duvara asılı bir raf ve bakır tabaklar kap kazan tava koymak için. Tuvalet dışarıda idi. Ev sahibi üst katta. +++

Toprak bir evdi yaşadığımız şehir evi. Babam eşi ölünce44 yaşında14 yaşındaki annemle evlenmiş.Ancak 3 ay sonra annemin antebin hezek nahiyeslnde bulunan ailesine ziyarete gitmesi ile,anneannem annemi babamla göndermemiş ayrılmasını istemiş ve amcası oğluna verme planları varmış.

Bir süre burda kalsın demişler. Gelmesi onun elinde ama gitmesi bizim demişler. Babam bunun üzerine, tek başına oturduğu İslahiye ye geliyor, hançerini alıp eşinin köyüne gidiyor. Eşimi verin gidelim diyor.
