Antes de los dos informes que os conté estos días, y antes del auto de imputación del 19 de mayo, la UDEF mandó al juzgado un documento que es el que motiva todo lo que ha venido después.
Es el oficio 2342/26, firmado el 14 de mayo, de 104 páginas.
Cinco días después, el juez Calama lo recogió en buena parte de su auto.
Los titulares ya os los sabéis: imputación por organización criminal, tráfico de influencias y falsedad documental (con posible extensión al blanqueo), citación a declarar el 2 de junio, cuatro registros simultáneos y bloqueos de cuentas.

El punto del oficio que la UDEF más se esforzó en justificar fue el que pedía entrar en el domicilio particular de Zapatero, su chalet en Las Rozas.
Y, como ya sabemos, es el único punto que el juez Calama no aceptó. La Fiscalía Anticorrupción también se opuso.
Pero el argumento policial es lo suficientemente sólido como para entender por qué la UDEF lo intentó.
Dos hechos concretos son la clave.
El primero, las cajas de vino.
En abril de 2020, según una conversación interceptada entre Danilo Diazgranados y Miguel Palomero, Diazgranados pide que se manden unas cajas de vino y le da a Palomero la dirección de envío del primer destinatario.
Esa dirección es la del domicilio particular de Zapatero en aquel momento.
La red usaba su casa como punto de recepción de envíos personales.
El segundo, las facturas.
En las facturas que el propio Zapatero emite a Análisis Relevante (intervenidas y dentro del expediente) figura como domicilio del emisor su domicilio particular.
No la oficina de Ferraz. Su casa.
A partir de ahí, la UDEF construye lo que llama “estructura dual de funcionamiento”.
Si la oficina funciona como canal formal (correos electrónicos, facturación, Gertru como nodo administrativo), y si el domicilio aparece como dirección operativa en facturas y como punto de recepción de envíos vinculados a la red, entonces el domicilio no es un espacio externo a la actividad investigada.
Es una extensión natural de ella.
La UDEF añade que las directrices más sensibles “podrían no impartirse en su totalidad en los espacios formales de actividad” y describe el domicilio como “espacio idóneo para la canalización y custodia de la planificación estratégica de las instrucciones que conlleven mayor sensibilidad”.
¿Por qué Calama lo rechazó?
Por un argumento procesal: detalles del caso llevaban tiempo circulando en prensa antes del auto, y eso “habría conllevado la lógica alerta en su entorno más íntimo, haciendo que cualquier prueba relevante hubiera sido ya retirada”.
O sea: no porque el argumento de la UDEF fuera flojo, sino porque a estas alturas el registro no iba a encontrar nada.

La prueba más comprometedora del oficio, jurídicamente, es la del acceso anticipado a información de la SEPI.
26 de febrero de 2021.
Julio Martínez Martínez le manda dos mensajes idénticos por WhatsApp, uno a Rodolfo Reyes y otro a Camilo Ibrahim Issa, los dos accionistas de Plus Ultra.
Texto literal: “Estimado Rodolfo. Ya en los últimos días para conseguir el préstamo de la Sepi, muy previsiblemente será en el consejo de ministros del día 9 de Marzo. Mi mayor felicitación por haber conseguido el objetivo. Sin dudas, ha sido consecuencia del excepcional labor desarrollada Por el equipo de Plusultra. De esta excelente labor he sido informado y felicitado por la propia SEPI”.
Esa frase, “he sido informado y felicitado por la propia SEPI”, es lo más grave.
No es que Martínez Martínez sepa o intuya el resultado. Es que dice, por escrito, que se lo ha comunicado la propia SEPI, y que además le han felicitado por la gestión.
Acceso a información reservada del expediente, antes incluso de que existiera formalmente la decisión.
La cronología es la prueba definitiva.
El Consejo Gestor del FASEE no se reúne hasta el 2 de marzo.
El Consejo de Ministros, que tiene la decisión definitiva, no se reúne hasta el 9 de marzo.
Y la felicitación con la fecha exacta del Consejo de Ministros la mandan el 26 de febrero.
Once días antes de que la decisión exista. Cinco días antes incluso de la reunión técnica.
Esto implica que alguien dentro del aparato del Estado le facilitó esa información a la red.
La UDEF apunta varias evidencias colaterales: el día que Plus Ultra presenta formalmente la solicitud, recibe una llamada espontánea de la Dirección General de Aviación Civil; cuando el expediente está atascado, Roberto Roselli le sugiere a Martínez Martínez que sería bueno presionar, y este le responde que de acuerdo.
La red no obtenía la ayuda solo porque pidiera.
La obtenía porque tenía canales internos en la administración pública que avisaban e informaban.
Y ahí ya no estamos hablando solo de delitos de la red, sino de delitos cometidos por alguien dentro del Estado.
La UDEF no apunta nombres en este oficio, pero la pregunta queda abierta.

This is going to be a thread about every Major unmanned platform which India has built/ is building / is develping
1 CATS Warrior is a 2 ton Stealth UCAV which is being developed by HAL in collaboration with TATA
CATS Warrior is supposed to work as Collorative Combat Aircraft in conjuction with other manned platform such as Tejas and Su 30 MKI while also protecting them from various threats
It will also be able to carry out Strikes missions on its own with SAAW (IWB and 2 outer hardpoints). It will also carry 2 ASRAAM on outer pylons and will have a range of 300 km.
It will utilise 2 PTAE-W engine with a cmbined thrust of 3.73x2 kN. A single PTAE-W engine weights around 72 KG (84 after installation of LRUs). Electrical output of 1.12 KW, max operating ceiling of 9000 meters.
HAL has manufactured one prototype of CATS Warrior for ground testing while the other prototype is being manufactured for First flight.

2 Ghatak UCAV is a 13 ton VLO UCAV current in development by ADE ith L&T as the DcPP. Ghatak UCAV has a fixed wing design which heavily optimizes it for stealth, endurance and high payload capacity
Ghatak is a drone bomber it will have a payload capacity of 1.5 2 tons and it will be used to carry out SEAD missions
It will also have sensors like EOTS to help it in ISR and target tracking for Strikes missions. The development of Ghatak will see the matrialisation of a lot of nw techonogies like DSI RAS FSS radome etc
It will be powered by KDE engine of 49kN of dry thrust. Moreover GTRE is also developing 2D TVC for Ghatak.
DFB has cleared the procurement of 4 Squadrons/ 60 Ghatak Aircraft but it is yet to recieve CCS nod for sull scale development as the FTB for KDE is pending due to Russia.

3 SWiFT was oriinially designed to be a scaled technology demonstrator for Validating technologies and Fixed wing design of Ghatak.
However due its impressive performance its likely to be inducted by the Armed forces in service as well.
SWiFT is a 1.1 ton class of UAV mostly for ISR purposes but it has the capacity to carry 100 kg of weapons payload in its IWB (most likley ULPGM).
It is currently being powered by Russian NPO Saturn 36MT engine of 4.5 kN thrist but it wil likley be replaced by STFE engine which has a similar thrust.
Development trials are going on SWiFt to validate technology for Ghatak but orders for SWiFt will also be given in its current confriguration.

I was scammed last week R2550 by a guy named Kgatedi Kobe, who claimed that he does Epoxy Flooring. He sent me his ID and Drivers license, because I did not want to send money to a stranger. That was for assurance that he needs to order the material. His account on TikTok didn’t have bad reviews but one review I discovered last week that it was deleted and it was another lady. We even had several calls his number doesn’t go through only WhatsApp calls 0717000468, email epoxyfloor7@gmail.com
I am in an odd position. I am an atheist, culturally a protestant... but I am genuinely drawn to the Catholic morality.
I don't believe it. But most of it feels true in spite of belief. Almost as if it arrived at something real through a route I can't follow anymore.
I don't believe it. But most of it feels true in spite of belief. Almost as if it arrived at something real through a route I can't follow anymore.
Even bracketing the theology entirely, some of the moral intuitions don't feel inherited. They feel prior to all of that. It's as if they're pointing at something that was already there and Catholicism just had the vocabulary for it. That unsettles me in a way I respect.
Maybe it's conditioning. The Protestant upbringing leaving a door ajar that Catholicism keeps walking through.
But it feels heavier than that. Like certain exhortations are asking you to sit down and search yourself...
I don't fully know what to do with that.

How can a menstruating woman make the most of the Day of Arafah?
By reading the Qur’an, making dua, seeking forgiveness, giving charity, and engaging in dhikr.
Can a menstruating woman read the Qur’an?
By reading the Qur’an, making dua, seeking forgiveness, giving charity, and engaging in dhikr.
Can a menstruating woman read the Qur’an?
Yes, it is permissible for a menstruating woman to read the Qur’an from a phone or from a tafsir book. This view is attributed to Shaykh Ibn Baz
• She can also worship through adhkar, istighfar, dua, and tasbih.
• She can give charity, feed the poor and needy, and attend beneficial Islamic lessons outside the mosque prayer area.
• She can also worship through adhkar, istighfar, dua, and tasbih.
• She can give charity, feed the poor and needy, and attend beneficial Islamic lessons outside the mosque prayer area.
She can engage in many acts of worship, except that she does not pray or fast during her menstrual period.
The fact that a woman is excused from fasting and prayer during her monthly cycle is itself part of obeying Allah, and she is rewarded for that obedience.
So how?

$MSFT drew down 38% in 2022.
What followed was a +121% run over the next 2 years.
Current drawdown: -35.22%.

The last time $MSFT looked like this it was the 2022 bottom.
Held the 50% retracement from ATH to lows.
Recovered 121% over the next 2 years.
Current drawdown is -35.22% almost identical.
The same move puts $MSFT above $750 by 2028.

I'm a cardiologist. I have spent twenty years watching cholesterol destroy arteries, trigger heart attacks, and kill people I care about.
Today, Eli Lilly presented data that may begin to end that era.
VERVE-102. A single infusion. One dose. It uses base editing to permanently turn off the PCSK9 gene in your liver.
Presented today at the European Atherosclerosis Society Congress:
88% reduction in PCSK9.
62% reduction in LDL cholesterol.
Sustained up to 18 months.
No treatment-related serious adverse events.
One infusion. Not daily pills you forget to take. Not monthly injections. One dose — and your cholesterol may stay low for the rest of your life.

Let me explain why this is so profound.
There are rare people born with naturally occurring loss-of-function variants in the PCSK9 gene. Their bodies produce very little PCSK9 protein. Their LDL cholesterol stays naturally low throughout their entire lives. They almost never develop coronary heart disease.
VERVE-102 is designed to give that same genetic protection to anyone who needs it. One infusion. Permanently edits the gene. Mimics what nature already does in the luckiest among us.
Lilly acquired the technology for roughly $1 billion and is preparing to launch Phase 2 trials by the end of this year.
Heart disease remains the number one killer on earth. Every moment of LDL exposure matters for your lifetime cardiovascular risk. A one-time treatment that durably eliminates excess LDL could prevent millions of heart attacks that haven't happened yet.
This is not incremental. This is a paradigm shift.

But cholesterol is only the beginning. Look at what's converging right now across medicine.
Personalized mRNA cancer vaccines. Moderna and Merck's personalized neoantigen vaccine showed a 49% reduction in cancer recurrence or death at five years in melanoma patients. They sequence your individual tumor, identify up to 34 unique mutations, and engineer a vaccine that teaches your immune system to hunt your specific cancer cells. Phase 3 trials are fully enrolled. They're expanding into lung cancer, kidney cancer, and bladder cancer.
In pancreatic cancer — one of the deadliest — patients who mounted an immune response to a personalized mRNA vaccine achieved 100% recurrence-free survival at 18 months.
A vaccine. For cancer. Personalized to your tumor. We said this was impossible ten years ago.

@gold_hadas Music moves. And it can move anywhere. When it is stops, it is no longer music, it is just noise. Because music is inherently meant to move—across borders, connect with foreign listeners, and travel through their culture—any attempt to counterfeit that movement through fraud.
@gold_hadas Music moves. And it can move anywhere. When the forward momentum—the very pulse and drive—of a piece of music stops, it ceases to be a living, breathing experience and instead crystallizes into a memory. In that state of absolute stillness, the active energy is entirely gone.
@gold_hadas Music moves. And it can move anywhere. When there is fraud involved, there is no movement, and it is not real. When a piece of music loses that forward drive and falls into absolute stillness, its energy dissipates, transforming from an active experience into a suspended memory.
¿Por qué están en contra de la apertura en electricidad si la de telecomunicacione fue un exitazo? 🤔
Eso es un error conceptual profundo, porque la naturaleza física, económica y logística de ambos sectores es radicalmente opuesta.

El impacto de las ganancias y la baja de precios que vimos en telefonía e internet no se puede replicar de manera análoga en la electricidad, y la razón principal es, precisamente, la segmentación y la estructura del sistema de subastas 😑
Primero que nada, la escalabilidad en telecomunicaciones no se compara. Se ponen antenas y el costo del envio de datos a una de ellas es cercano a cero.
Le electricidad es distinta, sujeta a leyes físicas, donde un megavatio más puede implicar una represa nueva.

You know in retrospect, I feel like the whole "leftist fighting for Rojava" thing, while understandable from a certain point of view, probably needed a little more thought and organization put into it. Seems very haphazard and ad hoc in the current day.
You look at the foreign fighters who joined the Rebels, such as the Uyghurs who joined HTS, and they had a lot more influence over military and political strategy while also having much better unit discipline and espirit d'corps than any counterparts in the SDF.
Those fighters also got prime positions within the postwar Syrian military and many have or will receive citizenship. Leftists in the SDF should have been asking more questions about what should be done after ISIS was defeated, instead of just going back to their home countries.

@HispanistaRD @sighing_sadly @xMikeAlbert We really don't. If you want to say that we have plenty of Gender Studies degree recipients, I'll definitely agree with you. Plenty of sociologists, I'll probably agree with you. But plenty of PhDs qualified to do research in Engineering or the hard sciences?
No.
No.
@HispanistaRD @sighing_sadly @xMikeAlbert No country has that. At most, what we had for a while was the illusion of a glut, because gatekeepers in HR were behaving in an obstructionist manner and tossing out applications from highly qualified candidates, for reasons perhaps best left to a psychiatrist to explain.
@HispanistaRD @sighing_sadly @xMikeAlbert But in real life, such researchers were never present in great numbers, and there were always far too many things for them to do, for all of those things to get done.
In real terms, the shortage never went away. There was merely a prolonged bout of fashionable irrationality.

If the resurrection didn't happen, Christianity is the greatest lie ever told.
If it did happen, it would be the most important event in human history.
There is no middle ground.
Paul said it himself: "If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile." (1 Cor 15:17)
So let's look at the evidence.
And then at what it actually means.
A thread.🧵

The empty tomb is the starting point, and it is not seriously disputed.
Jewish leaders, Roman authorities, and early critics never claimed the body was still there.
Their response was not "the tomb is occupied" — it was "the disciples stole the body." (Matthew 28:13)
You don't invent a theft story for a tomb that still has a body in it.
The emptiness of the tomb was the one fact every party in Jerusalem agreed on.

The appearances are the hardest fact to explain away.
Paul, writing in 1 Corinthians 15:3–8, within 20 years of the crucifixion, lists witnesses:
Peter. The twelve. 500 people at once. James. Then Paul himself.
He adds: "most of whom are still alive" — an open invitation to go check.
This is not mythology written centuries later.
This is a legal-style deposition written while eyewitnesses were still alive and verifiable.

Instead of reading papers top to bottom, start with core concepts.

Here is how to do it:
👇
1. Pick 4-5 highly cited review papers on your topic. Use Consensus or Litmaps to identify them.
2. Upload the PDFs to Claude and run the obsidian-world-builder skill (link below).
3. The skill extracts every concept across the papers and writes each one to its own note. Claims from individual papers get linked back to their source.

We remember the fallen.
We honor their sacrifice.
We cherish the freedom they paid for with their lives.

The Kremlin has a plan for the Armenian NGOs left stranded after USAID's collapse: take them over.
Leaked documents obtained by @dossier_center show it's just one piece of Moscow's effort to derail Armenia's pivot to the West 🧵[1/21]

Dossier Center has obtained internal Kremlin-linked strategy documents showing how Russian political consultants have been trying to influence Armenia's election by building, from nothing, an entire ecosystem of opposition to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

Publicly, Putin claims (of course) Moscow doesn't interfere in Armenian politics. Privately, Kremlin-linked consultants coordinated polling, messaging, coalition planning, media operations, and campaign strategy to weaken Pashinyan and halt Armenia's pivot to the West.
