Before Florence Nightingale we had Mary Seacole!! A woman who did more to advance the cause of nursing - and race relations - than almost any other individual.

Mary Seacole (1805–1881) was a pioneering Jamaican nurse, healer, and businesswoman whose contributions during the Crimean War have long been overlooked. After being rejected by British military and nursing authorities, she used her own resources to travel to the war zone, where she established the “British Hotel” near Balaclava.Image
The British Hotel was not a traditional hospital, but it provided food, supplies, shelter, and hands-on medical care to wounded and sick soldiers. Seacole was known for going directly onto the battlefield to tend to injured troops, earning deep respect and admiration from the men she cared for.
Florence Nightingale did not support Seacole’s work and declined to include her among her nurses. While Nightingale and some of her supporters viewed Seacole’s establishment critically—often dismissing it as overly commercial—there is no solid evidence that Nightingale directly called it a brothel. These tensions reflected racial, class, and ideological differences about who was considered “legitimate” within the emerging nursing profession.Image

This is reality, within the near future, I mean the next few years/decades, we are going to get hit, by cascading ecological impacts, and climate change is just one part of this.

Whether we act on this, is up to us, but if we ignore it, we face catastrophic consequences.
1/🧵
I have been warning about the ecological impacts, this report, essentially by the UK intelligence services, warns of, for decades. I suppose I better dig out some links to prove it. But what I said doesn't matter.

2/gov.uk/government/pub…
What matters, is that it is going to happen, it already is happening, and there is massive evidence for global ecosystem collapse. Everything, our civilization, our lives, our economies, totally relies on ecosystems, which are collapsing.

AfD in Thüringen:
▶️ Angriff auf die demokratische Ordnung

▶️ AfD will mit parlamentarischem Verfahren Voigt stürzen

In Thüringen plant die AfD-Landtagsfraktion ein konstruktives Misstrauensvotum gegen den amtierenden Ministerpräsidenten Mario Voigt (CDU) – Image
und das ausgerechnet wegen eines Streits um seinen Doktortitel.

Nach übereinstimmenden Medienberichten will die AfD diesen Antrag in der kommenden Landtagssitzung am
4. Februar 2026 einbringen.
▶️ Dabei soll AfD-Landeschef
Björn Höcke selbst als Gegenkandidat für das Amt des Ministerpräsidenten antreten.

Ein konstruktives Misstrauensvotum ist ein parlamentarisches Instrument, bei dem eine Regierung nur dann abgewählt werden kann,

🧵 THREAD: Critical Minerals, Fake Dips & Why Stackers Aren’t Impressed 🧵Image
1/
Czech FM Petr Macinka is heading to Washington for a Critical Minerals Ministerial on Feb 4.

Supply chains. Security. Strategic metals.

Translation: “We have a problem getting real stuff.”
2/
The conference is hosted by the United States Department of State.

Not Reddit. Not Twitter.

Governments don’t organize ministerial summits over minerals that are “abundant and cheap.”

System przeciwrakietowy THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) to mobilny, amerykański system obrony przeciwrakietowej. Jego zadaniem jest przechwytywanie i niszczenie rakiet balistycznych krótkiego, średniego i pośredniego zasięgu w ostatniej fazie ich lotu. Image
THAAD wykorzystuje technologię „hit-to-kill”. Oznacza to, że pocisk nie posiada głowicy bojowej z ładunkiem wybuchowym – niszczy cel wyłącznie dzięki ogromnej energii kinetycznej bezpośredniego uderzenia. Image
Kluczowym elementem jest radar AN/TPY-2, który potrafi wykryć zagrożenie z bardzo dużych odległości. System może zwalczać cele zarówno wewnątrz atmosfery, jak i tuż poza nią (egzoatmosferycznie). Image

Син Сергія Русінова, стрільця з Черкащини, повідоми Антону Лупашко, що його батька за землю пресував той самий руснявий міський депутат, через якого до нього й прийшли поліцейські, Віталій Сторожук.

Суть: землю ветеранам давали під негласну вимогу віддати в оренду на 40+років Image
Ярослав Нищик, побратим Русінова, який першим оприлюднив контекст життя Русінова і його конфлікту з Сторожуком, теж у пості писав, що Сторожук «рішав» земельні питання у міськраді.

Судячи з документів, син каже про реально існуючу проблему.
3 грудня 2025 Сергій Русінов отримав в оренду на 49 років від Корсунь-Шевченківської міської ради.

Без кадастрового номера і вказання розміру, депутати дуже спішили встигнути до свят.

(3 вересня 2025 то дата реєстрації обʼєкта в системі, а не права власності Русінова на нього) Image

shaykh C Hamzah Wald Maqbul :

L'imam al-Sanūsī, le mutakallim (théologien), رحمه الله, se lamente — dans le cadre de sa réfutation de l’idée fausse selon laquelle les Compagnons (رضي الله عنهم) auraient été des gens simples d’esprit ou intellectuellement limités —
en affirmant que la vérité est exactement l’inverse.
Il observe, à son époque, que la majorité des gens possèdent des esprits rigides, pétrifiés, incapables d’absorber des idées nouvelles ou des concepts cognitivement exigeants. Ils semblent presque impossibles à instruire.
Au-dessus d’eux se trouve une catégorie plus restreinte : ceux qu’on peut enseigner, mais avec une grande difficulté — et même alors, ils oublient rapidement et sont incapables de conserver durablement un acquis intellectuel.

L'imam as-Sanussi sur la dégradation en termes de savoir être des peuples du désert (notamment les bédouins) de son époque :

"Quant aux gens du désert, et à ceux qui sont éloignés de la sphère de la science authentique… inutile même de s’interroger sur leur état. Image
Et tu constates que les esprits de la majorité des gens de cette époque sont rigides,
difficiles à conduire vers la compréhension,
occupés par ce qui ne les concerne pas.

- Si tu les conseilles, ils n’acceptent pas.

- Si tu leur enseignes, ils n’apprennent pas.
- S’ils apprennent, ils ne comprennent pas.

- S’ils comprennent, cela ne se fixe pas en eux.

- Et si cela se fixe, leur compréhension s’inverse et se corrompt rapidement.

When DOGE went to audit the African Development Foundation, its CFO locked them out. The move was heralded by Democrats and the media as heroic.

Turns out, when people resist audits, it's because they have something to hide. Today the agency's CFO admitted taking bribes. Image
Mathieu Zahui, CFO of the USAID-style federal agency, admitted to doing exactly what the Trump team suspected was common in foreign aid. Money was sent to his friend in Africa as a "pass-through," it then came back to him ($12k in bribes) and others in D.C.
Some details are redacted in court papers, so you'll have to get them from @realdailywire, which broke this story last May. Incredibly, *after* we revealed Zahui's bribery scheme, left-wing attorneys pushed a judge for an injunction that would put Zahui in charge of the agency.

Der fliegende Pinguin🧵

Eine Geschichte über Identitäts- und Sinnsuche der Gen Z,
Social Media Hypes,
Far-Right Angriffe und
Kampf um Deutung und kulturelle Souveränität.

Worum gehts?
Gestern hatte Außenminister Wadephul auf Instagram ein video gepostet, das viral ging.
1/12
Schnell fiel Usern auf, dass eine Coverversion des Disko-Schlagers L’Amour Toujour verwendet wurde.

Ein Lied, zu dem ab 2023 besoffene Nazis mehrfach “Deutschland den Deutschen, Ausländer raus”
gegrölt hatten, weshalb es bei einigen Großevents nicht mehr gespielt wird.
2/12 Image
Was hatte die Social-Media-Admins von Wadephul also geritten, diesen Song zu verwenden? - könnte man empört fragen.

Die Antwort darauf ist überraschend positiv und gibt interessante Einblicke in Social Media-Phänomene und wie man sie nutzen kann, um Raum zurück zu gewinnen.

HAMAS: COMING TO AMERICA🧵

As promised, my report from Israel.

First, a few background notes.

If you’re looking for a thread that runs through all of the countries/places I’m visiting on my latest expedition—World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland; Auschwitz - Birkenau &…
2.

…Nowa Huta near Krakow, Poland; Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, & Gaza; and 3 more countries to go—it is this:

I intend to demonstrate how the crackpot ideas that are historically formed in places like Davos become policy and are sent downstream and demolish the lives of millions….
3.

…Those who formulate these ideas are invariably leftists who are, in the words of Russian historian Sheila Fitzpatrick, “enthusiasts, zealots, and utopians mesmerized by big, distant goals…. They have the intoxicating illusion they personify the will of the people….” Image

🧵 THREAD: DOJ ADMITTED WHAT HAPPENED IN THE EPSTEIN CASE — IN ITS OWN FILES

Today DOJ released new Epstein materials under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Two documents matter immediately — because they are DOJ auditing itself.
📄 EFTA01726257.pdf
📄 EFTA01726367.pdf
Both are Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) reports.Image
2/
📄 EFTA01726257.pdf
DOJ OPR Executive Summary (Nov 2020)
This is DOJ’s official admission of how the Epstein case was handled — and mishandled — by federal prosecutors.
3/ DOJ confirms a federal indictment already existed.
“In May 2007, the AUSA submitted… a draft 60-count indictment against Epstein.” 📄 EFTA01726257, pp. 2–3

This permanently destroys the claim that there wasn’t enough evidence.

1/ Man spürt förmlich die Erleichterung bei @CSchwietering @tagesspiegel bei dessen Berichterstattung über die Sitzung der Corona-Enquete-Kommission vom 29.01.26:

Eine „erstaunlich sachliche Debatte“ habe sich dort entwickelt, „ohne die Entscheidungsträger während der Corona-Pandemie zu verurteilen“.

Ja wo kämen wir denn da auch hin, wenn gravierende Fehlentscheidungen und willkürlicher Entzug von Grund- und Menschenrechten zu Lasten einer ganzen Gesellschaft auch noch verurteilt würden???

Offenbar mangelt es @CSchwietering zudem an der notwendigen Souveränität:

Nachdem der Sachverständige @HGMaassen in seiner Stellungnahme zur Corona-Enquete-Kommission auch die Medien kritisch beleuchtete, kommt der TAGESSPIEGEL-Autor nicht ohne billiges Negativ-Framing aus, als es um die Aussagen des ehemaligen Chefs des Verfassungsschutzes Maaßen geht:

Diesem attestiert @CSchwietering gar „Angriffe auf die Institutionen mit Kampfbegriffen“.

Sogar dem Bundestag gelingt es da besser, neutral und ohne Wertung über die Debattenbeiträge zur Sitzung zu berichten, siehe Link im Kommentar.

CHUCK JOHNSON UPDATE: Chuck has officially been released from jail.
Despite the Judge stating he didn't believe Johnson has purged himself of contempt, the judge has released Johnson after he signed 26 authorizations giving the court receivers access to everything from his bank accounts, phone records, and Apple and Google accounts.
Chuck Johnson appeared in court noticeably thinner and walking with a limp. Johnson's father told me he had "no expectations" today regarding whether Chuck would be released from jail. Chuck's father appeared visibly frustrated with the situation. While the court was proceeding, Chuck's father kept his eyes closed and head bowed down.
"I'm concerned about you. We have been trying to get information out of you for a year. As a father I was concerned you were held in jail over the holidays." - Judge Pittman
The judge also expressed concerns about Chuck's mental health stating he hoped Chuck would get a mental evaluation.

If you're a pension fund, endowment, or family office with 25%+ in private equity:
You're about to learn an expensive lesson.
But there's still time to fix this.
Here's your playbook for the PE reckoning 🧵
Step 2: Cut bottom-quartile and median managers.
This is a hits-driven business where top-quartile funds capture almost all outperformance.
If you can't consistently access tier-1 managers, you're better off in liquid markets.
The "diversification" argument is debunked.
Step 3: Renegotiate fees or walk away.
2-and-20 made sense when PE delivered 15%+ net returns.
At 6-8% net, it's legalized theft.
Push for:
1-and-10 with higher hurdles
Fees on deployed (not committed) capital
Preferential terms for large commitments
