@muslimmelange @UnrollHelper What book is this from and do you have any other recommendations for the sheikh or Sufi metaphysics of this sort in general?
I’m making this record of the Xizhao relationship timeline as a keepsake. For old fans to collect, and for new fans as an introduction.

21 touching things He Changxi has done for Yanchao:👇👇👇
1.-Before the drama aired, someone mocked in He Changxi’s comment section, saying no one in the world knew his “partner” because He Yanchao was too unknown. They said everyone knew He Changxi, but no one knew He Yanchao. He Changxi replied: “As long as I know him, that’s enough.”
Obama's DEI executive order (2011's EO 13583) intentionally created special hiring & promotion tracks for favored classes, as well as intra-organizational cadres which were typically mandated oversight of the organization's nominal executives.
Since it was done politely, in legalese, & at managerial/executive levels of organizations; rightist commentariat was not capable of comprehending the problem. It correctly sensed something had gone wrong, but mistakenly criticized vibes & gaffes rather than structural changes.
Parker's memoir of her time in the FBI 2011-2023 has a partial overview of what the DEI EO imposed in practice:
What if I told you Jeff Bezos didn’t lift heavy to get jacked at 62?
He used something called “Low Impact Training.”
The same method Tom Cruise and Gerard Butler rely on for movie roles.
Here is Wesley Okerson’s genius training protocol:
Okerson’s low-impact training is built for:
• Strength
• Mobility
• Longevity
• Recovery
His system is engineered for sustainable longevity.
It works for billionaires, action stars, and anyone aging.
As we age:
• Recovery slows (due to lower testosterone + growth hormone)
• Inflammation increases (IL-6, CRP rise)
• Tendons and fascia become less elastic
• Sleep quality declines
1/ The world faces a catastrophic cliff-edge shortage of oil due to the Strait of Hormuz blockade in the next four weeks, analysts warn. This will cause a deep recession, fuel rationing, the shutdown of entire industries, and oil prices potentially as high as $370 per barrel. ⬇️
2/ A month ago, JP Morgan published a report highlighting that the last oil shipments from the Persian Gulf countries would be delivered by 20th April. That date has come and gone, and oil shipments via the Strait of Hormuz have not resumed.
3/ Limited amounts of Gulf oil have continued to be pumped via pipelines to ports on the Red Sea and Arabian Sea. However, instead of producing enough oil supply to meet global demand, the world has been relying on emergency stockpiles.
Kharkiv is 30 km from russia. That’s why Ukraine is building AI-enabled air defence that thinks faster than humans can🧵.
Brigadier General Andriy Lebedenko — Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces — at Drone Autonomy 2026 in Lviv made statements that deserve the attention of every defence analyst and policymaker tracking this war.👇
2/ AI command systems are operational now — not a future project.
“Imagine all these processes — enemy assessment, own forces, their numbers, training, supply, weapons — processed by artificial intelligence in seconds, providing an almost instant result. Analysis of data spanning months and years. We no longer spend hours or days — only minutes, receiving our own high-quality, verified information concentrate that can model the future battle and its development scenarios.”
Every headquarters from battalion to corps currently has humans doing this work manually. Lebedenko confirmed that projects integrating AI into Command & Control systems are already running — and that this is an urgent operational need, not a long-term aspiration.
“The integration of modern management systems and AI agents is not a future prospect. It is an urgent need today — and work in this direction is already underway.”
3/ Sensor fusion is the answer to mass drone attacks — and Ukraine is building it.
“One radar cannot detect all drones. You need to combine all sensors into a unified system. In a mass attack, a human cannot quickly process large amounts of data: identify targets, set priorities, select engagement means. This is where algorithms and neural networks must help — instantly analysing information and assigning tasks to appropriate engagement systems.”
Lebedenko cited Kharkiv — located close to the border, where detection-to-destruction windows are minimal — as the operational case that makes this non-negotiable.
He confirmed that Ukraine already operates systems that filter sensor data and eliminate up to 50% of false targets before they reach operators.
The target architecture: interceptor drone systems that need only receive target coordinates, with AI handling identification, prioritisation, and engagement tasking in real time.
It took 9 years and 3 billion miles to get this shot.
Pluto’s icy Mountains.
But how exactly did we get it? A story of one of NASA’s greatest missions:
On January 19 2006 NASA launched New Horizons. The piano-sized spacecraft weighed only 478 kg yet carried seven powerful instruments. Its destination Pluto was so far and faint that every detail had to be planned perfectly.
New Horizons used Jupiter’s gravity in 2007 to slingshot faster saving years of travel. It hit speeds over 36 000 mph. By July 2015 it had flown nearly 3 billion miles one of the longest journeys in space exploration history.
I. Retour sur les estimations faites quant à la crise qui vient. Les organisations internationales commencent à en publier #Thread
II Le constat est désormais partagé par le FMI, la Banque Mondiale et l'Agence internationale de l'énergie
- 13% pour le pétrole
-20% pour le gaz
- 40% pour les engrais
- 35% pour l'hélium
- 24% pour l'aluminium
III En fait, compte tenu des différences de qualité du pétrole, on est à -40% pour le pétrole qui convient à la chimie, ce qui explique que l'Urals (russe) soit désormais + cher que le BRENT
Early Christians had a complete Bible by the 4th century — but that’s not the only thing they were reading to deepen their faith.
If you want a true connection to ancient Christianity, you need to read these 8 books:
1. The Didache, Anonymous, 1st cent.
The Didache is a brief discourse that contains moral and ritualistic teachings—a handbook for a Christian life.
It’s speculated the apostles wrote it, and contains the formulas for baptism and eucharist that are still used today.
2. The Shepherd of Hermas, Hermas, 2nd cent.
St. Iranaeus considered it to be canonical scripture. Though it missed the cut, it’s a fascinating work that centers around the life of a former slave who's given mystical visions and parables informing him how to live a faithful life
If I sold my company tomorrow, I'd build my next multi-million dollar business in 90 days using Claude.
Here's the exact five-person AI team I'd hire on day one. Steal every prompt.
THE RESEARCHER
Job: Find the customer pain. Validate it before you build.
Most founders skip this. They build something cool and try to convince people they need it. That's how you go broke.
Prompt:
"Act like a world-class researcher who meticulously checks their work. List the top 5 urgent and painful problems faced by [target customer], with supporting evidence from Reddit, Amazon, Facebook, and other real sources. For each problem, show me the exact language people use to describe the pain, where they're already trying to solve it, and what existing solutions are failing them."
If people aren't already complaining about it, the idea is dead.
THE STRATEGIST
Job: Turn the pain into a free offer people race to download.
Forget the perfect product. Forget the polished funnel. Build a lead magnet so good your customer would pay $50 for it. Then give it away.
Prompt:
"Based on [insert pain points], suggest 5 lead magnet ideas people would fall over themselves to download. These should be so rich in value my target customer would pay $50 to $100 for them. Rank them by fastest to build, cheapest to launch, and most likely to get sign-ups."
Don't take the first answer. Push back until you find one people can't resist.
🔥🔥🔥The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is linked to Barack Hussein Obama thru Civic Nations, “We The Action”.
SPLC works at “We The Action” along with other organizations such as the Trump Resistances, Indivisible, John Podestas Center For American Progress, Catholic Charities, Planned Parenthood, and Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote. I’ll provide a larger list when sourcing.
We The Action (WTA) provides free attorney services for far left social justice causes. Such as representing illegal aliens and abortion rights groups. A biggie was fighting the 2020 election in every way possible.
For the 2020 election, WTA lawyers have worked on 41 different projects with 25 different organizations in support of the 2020 election and election integrity.
Which brings us to names. Yeah Marc Elias of Perkins Coie was there. On top of this, 99% of the main team there were Obama admin lawyers or his OFA folks. I’ll provide details in the thread.
Civic nation, directed by Valerie Jarrett, was created to hold the Nongovernment Nonprofit Organizations (NGO’s) that Obama created while in office. Yes, Obama created non profits while in office.
Over the years, Civic Nation has expanded. It even held Michelle Obama’s “When We All Vote”, and Obama’s very recent “Change Collective”.
“We The Action” launched in July 2017, and was incubated by the Emerson Collective.
The Emerson Collective once held the Obama Fellow, Tiana Epps Johnson, who ran Zuckerbucks.
Michelle Obama’s When we all vote even had events sponsored by the Emerson collective.
Barack Obama’s My Brothers Keeper is partnered with the Emerson Collective. He launched the My Brother’s Keeper program in February 2014, in response to the death of Trayvon Martin.
Sarah Baker joined as the first executive director of We The Action, after serving in the White House for six years, as Special Assistant and Associate Counsel to President Obama and Senior Policy Director to Dr. Jill Biden.
I’ll source everything below. And on a future date we need to discuss the Emerson Collective and Civic Nation orgs further. I have discussed both in the past.
This Forbes article would be a great introduction to, “We The Action”. And it shows some of its partner orgs, but not all. And this also mentions it being incubated by the Emerson Collective. As you can see, the SPLC is listed too.
This article also mentions Illegal immigrants, abortion rights and the so called “Trump Muslim ban”. Plus more.
“We The Action is a unique online volunteer platform that makes it easy for lawyers to volunteer their skills with leading nonprofits that are fighting for justice and equality.”
“Baker: We launched in July 2017, incubated by the Emerson Collective. I joined as the first executive director after serving in the White House for six years, as Special Assistant and Associate Counsel to President Obama and Senior Policy Director to Dr. Jill Biden.”
“2020 election WTA lawyers have worked on 41 different projects with 25 different organizations in support of the 2020 election and election integrity.”
“Our nonprofit partners range in mission, focus, and size, from start-ups to legacy organizations. Some of our nonprofit partners include: Rock the Vote, When We All Vote, Transgender Law Center, Tarjimly, One Million of Us, FreeFrom, The Immigration Justice Campaign, Run for Something, Southern Poverty Law Center, and more.”
I have multiple partner lists for, We The Action. I’ll list two of them here, because in the future we need to discuss Obama’s past with the Election Protection Committee, and the Lawyers Committee.
Also note Obama’s linkage to Catholic Charities. 😬
If you look on the bottom of the “We The Action” webpages you see that it’s ran by Civic Nation.
