🧵For Fun, I asked AI to compare Mormonism with the Westminster Confession of Faith to explain 1/ Why Westminster Confession Presbyterians don’t consider Mormons Christians? Here’s what it said:
The answer is not that Mormons are insincere, immoral, or don’t talk about Jesus.
The issue is theology. Specifically, Mormonism rejects several doctrines that historic Christianity considers essential.
2/ First, the doctrine of God.
The Westminster Confession teaches that God is eternal, unchanging, and has always been God.
Korea's won is incredibly weak (global financial crisis or Korean BoP crisis levels ... ) even though Korea's fundamentals are sound (BoP has a massive surplus, fiscal debt is modest, etc).
Will be interesting to see if the Koreans can mount a defense this week ...
1/
A bit of background: Korea is experiencing a massive, positive terms of trade shock (chip prices are up so much that it has overwhelmed the rise in price of oil) and Samsung and Hynix are generating massive profits that have pushed the KOPSI way up
2/
Korea's fiscal position is solid too - not much government debt (thanks to a still stingy system of retirement benefits) and there will be a massive tax windfall from Samsung and Hynix. KRW weakness is all flow driven
Matthew, Mark, and Luke share so much material that scholars call them the "Synoptics" — seen together.
Then there is John.
John omits 90% of what the other three include.
John includes 90% that none of them have.
It was written last, and it reads like someone who has spent 60 years thinking about what the others didn't say.
A thread on why the Gospel of John is unlike anything else in Scripture. 🧵
John opens with the most theologically explosive sentence in the New Testament:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (1:1)
Three phrases. Each one a theological earthquake:
1. "In the beginning" — echoes Genesis 1:1. Jesus pre-exists creation. 2. "The Word was with God" — distinct from the Father. Two persons. 3. "The Word was God" — not a god. Not like God. Was God.
John answers the question of who Jesus is before the story even begins.
Everything else in the Gospel is unpacking that first sentence.
What John deliberately leaves out is as significant as what he includes.
No birth narrative.
No baptism scene.
No temptation in the wilderness.
No transfiguration.
No Lord's Supper institution.
No Gethsemane agony.
No exorcisms.
John assumes you have read the others.
He is not writing a biography. He is writing theology.
His stated purpose is unlike any other Gospel writer:
"These things are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God." (20:31)
Jewish staffers in some Dem campaigns/offices say they've increasingly felt a chill.
One former Biden WH official: "No Jews in the Biden administration agreed with what Netanyahu was doing, but we all felt like we were having to answer for it by the party and our colleagues."
Some Jewish Dem politicians privately express frustration that their views on Israel are more scrutinized by the media and voters simply because they're Jewish.
They also argue that some left-wing activists object to Israel being a Jewish state but don't speak out against Islamic governments.
🚨 Why Is Sanctioned Iranian State Media Filming in Washington, D.C.?
Not to be a stickler for the rules, but Press TV has been sanctioned since September 2023, so I find it pretty remarkable to see a PressTV branded microphone operating in Washington, D.C. while interviewing American far-left activists.
Mind you, this does not automatically prove a sanctions violation. Protected speech is still protected. But things get much murkier if any U.S. person is providing services that help Press TV create content after its designation.
And one of the people being interviewed here is Ermiya Fanaeian, a National Network on Cuba co-chair who has also been involved with Freedom Road Socialist Organization and Armed Queers SLC. Armed Queers SLC later drew scrutiny in connection with the investigation into Tyler Robinson, the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin.
At minimum, this raises some serious questions worth asking. Who is operating Press TV-branded interviews inside Washington, D.C., and is anyone in the United States helping a sanctioned Iranian state media outlet create content?
Everything you need to know about Fanaeian is in this clip, bragging about how these Cuba delegations leveled up “her” organizing game.
Actually, scratch that. I’ve got an even spicier clip for you.
Here is Fanaeian teaching Arm The Dollz how to say “Death to America” in Farsi. The video is partially censored, but Fanaeian posted enough photos on Instagram that matching the outfit was not exactly difficult.
@Hwdgfly That’s why I like sharing resources of what’s been exposed. It saves people like you who do extensive research valuable time.
Google’s search is broken (there’s more on that too) & a lot of this stuff is dispersed so if you don’t know then you don’t know.
@Hwdgfly The other film guy blocked me so I think I came on too strong again by explaining CCP connection to cartels to indie films to terror groups but ….that’s kind of what’s been happening for decades at this point?
Ignoring it doesn’t solve anything. That’s why we’re at this point.
The problem is there’s so much there that it’s hard to consolidate into digestible parts. Good news is there’s books that cover it. I wouldn’t typically include This is Not Real Life but she’s a Canadian filmmaker so there’s overlap.
If you become interested in writing your own book using your research then @JoshuaLisec is a good ghostwriter to hire. There’s clearly an audience.
Generic “support our troops” emails go straight to the trash. Be surgical:
Call, don’t email. Staffers log calls. Emails get auto-replied. A flood of calls on one issue gets flagged to the member within hours.
What to demand:
- Full funding for the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces. These are the teams that ran the Kansas-California op. They’re not DEI seminars. They’re not “community outreach.” They’re armed agents and analysts hunting actual terrorists. Fund them.
- No weakening of FISA Section 702. This is the authority that lets the FBI monitor foreign terrorist communications with domestic contacts. Without it, the anonymous tip in this case goes nowhere. Every reauthorization fight, the civil liberties absolutists try to gut it. Tell your reps: protect the tool that protects us.
- Ask your member directly: “Do you support the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division maintaining its current operational tempo under Director Patel? Can I get a yes or no?”
Who to target: Your own reps first — they care about their own constituents. Then the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, the Intelligence Committees, and the Homeland Security Committees. Those members control the purse strings and the oversight.

🕵️ 2. KNOW YOUR LOCAL FBI FIELD OFFICE
Every FBI field office has a Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) and a tip line. Save the number for yours. Not to play amateur spy — to actually report if you see something.
What to report:
- Pro-ISIS or pro-jihadist content on public social media, Discord servers, Telegram channels
- Individuals expressing a desire to travel overseas to fight
- Anyone attempting to purchase weapons components, drone parts, or explosives precursors with no legitimate explanation
- Sudden radical shifts in behavior, especially combined with isolation and obsessive online activity
What NOT to do: Don’t confront the person. Don’t play hero. Don’t post about it on social media. Call the tip line, give the facts, let the professionals work.
The Kansas case started with one anonymous tip in March 2025. One person saw something online and reported it. That tip led to three arrests, a dismantled ISIS funding pipeline, and potentially dozens of American lives saved. One call.
que cuando se inicie la ofensiva sobre Slaviansk - Kramatorsk los rusos vuelvan a ejecutar un ataque secundario de aferramiento en dirección a Kiev y anticipando la narrativa ucraniana de que los rusos perdieron la guerra porque fracasaron dos veces en conquistar Kiev
, les dejo un muy buen artículo que analiza la batalla de Kiev en 2022 con el cual coincido en que los rusos nunca se plantearon tomar Kiev “en tres días” sino que buscaban distraer fuerzas de su verdadero objetivo que era el puente terrestre a Crimea. bmanalysis.substack.com/p/battle-for-k…
The Telegraph article reported on a Trump administration proposal for the US to directly purchase the Chagos Islands from Mauritius, securing full control of the Diego Garcia military base while bypassing the stalled UK-Mauritius sovereignty transfer deal. 1)
Diego Garcia is a critical US-UK strategic asset in the Indian Ocean, supporting bomber operations, surveillance, and logistics from the Gulf Wars to Yemen strikes, with US concerns over potential future Chinese influence via Mauritius prompting the direct-buy idea.
2)
The proposal follows Trump's repeated criticism of the UK deal as "great stupidity" and weakness, highlighting US efforts to lock in long-term control of key bases amid great power competition, though no price or final agreement has been set.

Would like to note that I made a thread QTing a study that someone said showed 91% of people recovered from PAIS. The study did NOT say that, and I tweeted a misinformed thread that leaned into that incorrect reading. I deleted the tweets, but I will leave this tweet up with the thread I posted so people can see the mistake I made, as well as the original tweet that I QTed.
I appreciate people calling my attention to the mistake. I don't want my tweets up, because they were false and misleading about that study, but I would like people to be able to see the mistake I made, which is in the unrolled thread that I QT above.
The person who originally posted the study was suggesting that many recovery stories — with unproven pharmacological interventions *or* unproven mind-body interventions — are really due to high natural remission rates of PAIS (and long Covid) within the first year.
🧵🚨MEGA THREAD & ANALYSIS: Tonight Netanyahu will face one of the most significant strategic dilemmas of his entire tenure. He ordered the pinprick attacks on the southern suburbs of Beirut this afternoon for two reasons:
1) To re-establish deterence vis-a-vis Hezbollah. After all, in the American-brockered "ceasefire" between the Israeli and Lebanese governments it was stipulated that in return for not striking Dahiya, Hezbollah would refrain from attacks on Northern Israel. Since then Hezbollah has resumed rocket/drone attacks on the Galilee Panhandle and other Israeli towns running along the border.
Netanyahu was already opposed to the concept of a ceasefire with Hezbollah in any manifestation as the IDF is still carrying out its offensive plans on the ground in Southern Lebanon, which includes an effort to depopulate and occupy the surroundings of Nabatieh.
IDF also intends to expand its buffer zone south of the Litani River to include nearly all of the territory encompassing Hezbollah's "Eastern Sector", including notable towns such as Tebnine and Majdal Selm. Netanyahu and the IDF high command are conscious of the substantial threat currently posed by Hezbollah's nascent FPV drone program, and know that any ceasefire would give them the wiggle room to further develop it over coming months/years in anticipation of another clash with Israel.
For this reason Israel is wary of a complete ceasefire in Lebanon under the present field conditions, wherein they feel like they haven't established a sufficient territorial buffer zone yet. So for the past few weeks Lebanon has been in a sort of purgatory state, wherein Israel continues gradual advances with infantry while conducting airstrikes on Shia-majority communities in Tyre, Sidon, and Nabatieh.
Netanyahu feels he's waging the war with one hand tied behind his back because he was restricted from striking Dahiya and other cities on the Lebanese rear with notable volume. Meanwhile almost every day another Israeli soldier is killed by FPV drones.
With this reality in mind, it become strategically and politically impossible for Bibi to ignore Dahiya, which is of course home to many high-value Hezbollah targets, but is also always in the crosshairs of Israel's conscience because they want to create an equation where even the slightest inconvenience experienced in Northern Israel is reciprocated with destruction in Beirut.
So the Israeli strikes today were purposefully "precise" (relative to previous attacks) and didn't generate a mass casualty event, because Israel was trying to ease US/Lebanon/Hezbollah/Iran back into the pre-war equation where strikes on Beirut were a normal component of combat operations. Had Iran not responsed tonight, it's evident that the scope and intensity of attacks would exponentially broaden.
El 7 de junio de 1943, tres días después del golpe de Estado al presidente Ramón S. Castillo y tras el fallido intento del general Arturo Rawson de encabezar la presidencia, el general Pedro P. Ramírez asumió la presidencia de facto de la Nación.
Durante los meses siguientes se desarrolló una fuerte disputa interna en el gobierno entre los generales y almirantes y los coroneles del GOU por la posición argentina frente a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En ese contexto también comenzó el ascenso político del coronel Juan Domingo Perón.
El 4 de junio, tras la aparición de los generales Rawson y Ramírez en el balcón de la Casa Rosada, el desconcierto que provocó el golpe de Estado en amplios sectores de la sociedad quedó reflejado en numerosos testimonios de la época. Diversos grupos políticos, pese a sus profundas diferencias ideológicas, interpretaron inicialmente que el movimiento militar respondía a sus propias aspiraciones y objetivos.
Así, grupos de radicales vitoreaban a las tropas al grito de "¡Viva Yrigoyen!", convencidos de que la revolución venía a restaurar las banderas del radicalismo. Por su parte, Acción Argentina, organización de marcada orientación aliadófila presidida por Alejandro Ceballos, emitió una declaración favorable al golpe y de condena al gobierno depuesto de Ramón S. Castillo. En el extremo opuesto del espectro ideológico, el diario Cabildo, identificado con posiciones nacionalistas y simpatías hacia el Eje, expresó también su satisfacción por los acontecimientos, llegando a afirmar que lo sucedido era, en cierta medida, fruto de la prédica que venía sosteniendo desde sus páginas.
El Partido Comunista denunció que el país había sido sorprendido por "un golpe militar reaccionario", producido precisamente cuando, según sostenía, el movimiento de unidad democrática nacional se encontraba en expansión y se preparaba para resolver por medios democráticos los principales problemas que afectaban al país. En contraste, los sectores nacionalistas justificaban la revolución como una acción destinada a salvar a la nación de la demagogia radical, la corrupción parlamentaria y, sobre todo, del comunismo.
Los restantes partidos políticos adoptaron diversas posiciones frente al golpe de Estado y al gobierno surgido de él. Tanto la Unión Cívica Radical como el Partido Demócrata Progresista enviaron telegramas expresando su apoyo a las nuevas autoridades militares. Dentro del radicalismo, el sector encabezado por Amadeo Sabattini en Córdoba se mostró particularmente favorable al movimiento golpista. En la misma línea, el gobernador cordobés, Santiago del Castillo, manifestó su disposición a colaborar con el nuevo gobierno.
This is what @beamable is guilty of by my accusation that I can back up with evidence that they knowingly retaliated in protest of complying with ADA under @USEEOC and that they deliberately sold off to @skillz to avoid accountability with @insperity.
The scam no - but the diffused accountability - is the tactic used by tyrants who oppress the people and impose pain into the society like @beamable is engineered to do by their CTO Ali's own words that were claimed to be mine but were not.
@Beamable Because nobody is accountable to be held to account for @USEEOC violations of ADA unless the injured victim party seeks restoration by the Sovereign will the entity be held accountable. The "system of justice" is a "system of just us" that protects @beamable against the disabled.
🧵 Something important to note about Cory Archibald, co-founder of Track AIPAC: she lives in Germany which has strict laws about antisemitic speech, specifically when it comes to Holocaust inversion which is in itself a form of Holocaust denial (1/x)
It appears Cory uses a VPN to look like she's posting in the U.S. perhaps because she's aware of the legal and civil problems she'd potentially run afoul of with Section 130 of the German Criminal code which deals with Volksverhetzung (Incitement to Hatred/Mass Incitement)
(2/x)
The German government has adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) and their working definition of antisemitism which says that "drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis" is an example of antisemitism
