I’ve been asking people to reconsider their adversarial approach to this situation for years. These pleas occasionally get a like, but the public has not shifted its behaviour.
I sometimes feel powerless to impact others, but then I realize I’m up against military grade PSYOPS.
I sometimes feel powerless to impact others, but then I realize I’m up against military grade PSYOPS.
I understand the mechanism of this PSYOPS. I’ve described it in detail, to no avail. People still resort to stereotypical defence tactics when they perceive themselves under attack.
And we are under attack. It’s been relentless since 2015. So this is engrained behaviour now.
And we are under attack. It’s been relentless since 2015. So this is engrained behaviour now.
It’s like a reflex arc. Or a Pavlovian response. But it gives me hope that others can see the aggravated nature of continuing this behaviour arc. It will continue the process of dividing us more and more until reconciliation is impossible. Like it is in the US right now.

After the Atari 2600 failed me. I decided to pull out the NES and see what I got on that one. It was another adventure so come along and follow the 🧵👇🏼
At first boot all I got was a flashing red light and the video would flash off and on. I decided to unplug everything and spray contact cleaner in the slot and also clean the cartridges. That at least got me to a gray screen
Man did a little bit of wiggling and a jiggling moving the cartridge back a little side. A little hit the reset and voila!
The state has now rested its case against Karmelo Anthony. We had heard rumors that Hunter Metcalf might be testifying today, but the state is now done calling witnesses. Then the judge asked Karmelo's defense team what was next.
Defense asked for the court to move to a direct verdict. That's a motion asking a judge to rule in their favor before a case is submitted to the jury, arguing that the opposing side has legally failed to present enough evidence to prove their claim
Judge said no.
Then the judge asked the defense what's next. They said they didn't know and we are now taking a break.

Defense is now calling its first witness: Adam Linwood, a football and track coach at Centennial High School where Karmelo Anthony attended.
He's testifying that at their school, kids from other schools don't get kicked out from their team tent, but he's unaware of what the team policies are from other schools. He adds that things have changed since Austin's death. Now kids from other school are no longer allowed.

En 1992, un piloto robó una vieja avioneta en Estados Unidos y voló a ras de las olas hacia Cuba para burlar a los radares militares soviéticos. Su única misión suicida era aterrizar en medio de una carretera para rescatar a su familia. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Orestes Lorenzo no era un ciudadano cualquiera. Era uno de los pilotos de combate más brillantes y condecorados de la Fuerza Aérea de Cuba. Había sido entrenado en la Unión Soviética y era un veterano muy respetado de la guerra de Angola.
A pesar de su estatus militar, Orestes sentía una profunda asfixia bajo el régimen castrista, por lo que en 1991 tomó una decisión radical mientras realizaba un vuelo de entrenamiento rutinario. Apagó su radio, descendió casi hasta tocar el mar y desertó.

Todd had terminal ALS and just ordered a wheelchair—then DMSO gave him his life back
His brain fog vanished. Breathing crises stopped in 3 days. He dragged 340-lb beams across a road. His reflexes healed.
His recovery shocked his doctors—but ALS is far from the only thing DMSO helps.
James Miller MD found roughly 80% of neurological issues people see neurologists for simply go away once he gives them DMSO.
Approximately 2500 studies support its use for conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s to strokes, MS, paralysis, chronic pain, spinal injuries, depression, epilepsy, and Down syndrome.
Here, I will show how DMSO can cure many "incurable" neurological disorders.🧵

Over the past quarter century, a vast and largely unseen effort has unfolded—one difficult to capture in words that fully convey its scale, precision, and consequence.
It was not a single operation, but a sustained campaign of vigilance, adaptation, and quiet resolve, conducted beyond public view.
Through it, a determined network of professionals worked to detect, disrupt, and counter hostile foreign infiltration that posed a genuine threat to the stability and security of the United States.
Have you ever wondered why the Qur’an doesn’t command us to “make our parents happy”?
At first glance, it feels like something is missing. But the Qur’an speaks on a deeper level.
Instead of tying morality to emotional approval, the Qur’an establishes a higher and more stable standard: ihsān - excellence in how we treat our parents.

That’s why Allah says, “Be kind to parents…” (17:23)

The focus is on consistent goodness, respect, mercy, and care - not on meeting every expectation or securing approval.

Jean-Baptiste Pointe DuSable was born in Saint-Domingue, Haiti (French colony at the time) during the Haitian Revolution. At some point he settled in the part of North America that is now known as the city of Chicago and was described in historical documents as "a handsome negro"
He married a Native American woman, Kitiwaha, and they had two children. In 1779, during the American Revolutionary War, he was arrested by the British on suspicion of being an American Patriot sympathizer.
Karmelo Anthony trial: we have been informed the medical examiner is next to testify. People who don’t want to listen to sensitive information have been asked to leave. Both of Austin’s parents and most of his family have left the room.

*Uspeo sam da lociram jedan od najvećih i najzanimljivijih "bugova" (grešaka) u zvaničnom softveru crkve, i to direktno u zapisima jednog od njenih najistaknutijih teologa 20. veka – vladike Nikolaja Velimirovića.*
Ono što sam primetio je apsolutna istina, a napisano je osim u Ohridskom Prologu, i u "Najbolji Vaspitač" od Protojereja Živana M. Marinkovića i u "O Bogu i Ljudima" gde Nikolaj napisao da je astrologija slepa fatalnost. Ali idemo dalje, kasnije se vraćam na ovo, elem
Da bi održala mit o tome kako je pre nje postojao samo "mrak, divljaštvo i ništavilo", institucionalna crkva je morala da sakrije činjenicu da je svaku svoju ključnu lokaciju podigla na temeljima prastarih solarnih i prirodnih svetilišta. Ali, s vremena na vreme, njihovi sopstveni pisci ostave tragove koji potvrđuju tu uzurpaciju.
Hajde da hirurški elaboriramo ovaj "bug" vezan za Svetu Goru, Nikolaja Velimirovića i materijalne dokaze o tome kako je prebrisana prastara solarna geografija.
*1. Nikolajev "Bug": Šta je zapisano o Svetoj Gori?*
Vladika Nikolaj Velimirović je u svojim delima i besedama koje se bave istorijom hrišćanstva i duhovnosti (posebno u spisima o Svetoj Gori i Nemanjom obasjanoj istoriji) ostavio svedočanstva koja direktno ruše zvaničnu priču.
U crkvenoj literaturi, Sveta Gora (Atos) se romantično naziva "Vrt Presvete Bogorodice", a narativ glasi da je to oduvek bilo mesto rezervisano isključivo za hrišćanske pustinjake. Međutim, Nikolaj i stariji crkveni hroničari beleže sledeće činjenice:⬇️

- *Zatečeni hramovi i idoli:* Kada su prvi hrišćanski monasi stigli na Atos, oni nisu zatekli praznu, divlju šumu, već vrhunski organizovan centar solarnog i kosmičkog kulta. Na samom vrhu planine Atos (koja se uzdiže na preko 2.000 metara nadmorske visine) nalazio se monumentalni hram i kolosalna statua (idol) posvećena Zeusu (Zevsu) Munjobiji ili Apolonu (koji je vrhovni simbol Sunca, svetlosti i kosmičkog reda).
- *Fizičko rušenje:* Hrišćanske hronike koje Nikolaj citira i interpretira zapravo ponosno opisuju kako su monasi, predvođeni "božanskom silom", srušili taj kolosalni solarni kip koji je blistao na suncu i bio vidljiv brodovima sa miljama udaljenosti, a od njegovog kamena počeli da grade prve hrišćanske kelije i manastire.
*2. Istorijske činjenice: Šta je Atos bio pre hrišćanstva?*
Sveta Gora je pre dolaska monaha bila geografski i energetski centar prastarog sveta. Sam vrh Atosa je služio kao solarni opservatorijum i prirodni ogledni hram.
- *Solarno ogledalo:* Zbog svoje specifične visine i pozicije u Egejskom moru, vrh Atosa hvata prve i poslednje zrake sunca. Drevni solarni kultovi su znali za ovu energetsku tačku. Apolonov hram na Atosu bio je postavljen tako da u trenucima solsticija i ravnodnevnica svetlost pada pod tačnim matematičkim uglom.
- *Uzurpacija lokacije:* Šta je Matrix uradio? Na mestu gde je stajao Apolonov (solarni) hram na samom vrhu planine, hrišćani su podigli kapelu Profitisa Ilije (Svetog Ilije). Razmisli o ovoj savršenoj inverziji: Sveti Ilija je u hrišćanstvu preuzeo sve atribute boga Gromovnika (Zevsa/Peruna) i solarnih kočija (Alija/Apolon). Dakle, promenili su ime firme, zadržali istu energetsku tačku, a narodu rekli da pre njih tu nije bilo ničega.
*3. Princip "Svetih mesta": Kako Matrix uzurpira kod*
Ovo što se desilo na Svetoj Gori je univerzalni šablon. Crkva nikada nije birala lokacije za manastire nasumično. Oni nisu imali tehnologiju da stvore energetske tačke na Zemlji, pa su morali da otmu i uzurpiraju prastare geo-aktivne tačke.

He died in 2016 at the age of 100, the last surviving Midway dive-bomber pilot.
Seventy-four years earlier he had done something no other American pilot at Midway managed. He scored direct hits on three enemy ships over three days, and all three sank.

🧵 2/7
Norman Jack Kleiss was born in 1916 in Coffeyville, Kansas, and grew up through the Great Depression. Everyone called him Dusty. He worked with tools as a boy, joined the Naval Academy, and graduated in 1938. He earned his wings as a naval aviator and was assigned to Scouting Squadron Six aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise.
His aircraft was the Douglas SBD Dauntless, a two-man dive bomber. The pilot flew and aimed the aircraft. A gunner sat behind him facing backward, defending the tail.
The way a Dauntless attacked a ship was terrifying. The pilot would roll the aircraft over at high altitude and drop into a near-vertical dive, plunging straight down toward the target through anti-aircraft fire, holding the dive until the last possible second before releasing the bomb and hauling back on the controls to pull out.
By the spring of 1942 the United States had been losing to Japan for six months. Pearl Harbor. The Philippines. Wake Island. The Japanese Navy had not lost a major battle.
That was about to change at a tiny atoll called Midway.

On the morning of June 4 1942, the Enterprise launched her dive bombers to find the Japanese carrier fleet.
It very nearly went wrong. The aircraft spent hours searching and almost ran out of fuel. Then they found them. Four Japanese aircraft carriers, the same ships that had attacked Pearl Harbor, turning into the wind below them.
Dusty Kleiss rolled his Dauntless over and dove on the carrier Kaga.
He did something most pilots would not. Instead of releasing his bombs at the standard altitude, he held his dive lower, dangerously low, to make absolutely certain he could not miss. He released and pulled out so hard his body was crushed into the seat.
His bombs struck the Kaga. As he leveled off just above the water and looked back, the carrier was a wall of flame a hundred feet high. Kaga was finished. She would sink that day.
Three other Japanese carriers were hit that same morning by American dive bombers. In the space of a few minutes the balance of the entire Pacific war had begun to turn.
But for Kleiss the day was not over, and it was about to bring him terrible news.

That autonomy runs on Russian cash. Moscow transfers $3.8 billion to Chechnya every year, about 92 percent of the republic's entire budget.
Kadyrov treats the money as a personal slush fund and spends it on whim, paying for a lavish lifestyle and a private security force. 3/

Durante décadas, o soro do leite foi descarte. Ia para o ralo ou virava ração animal — resíduo industrial sem glamour, subproduto menor de uma cadeia que queria mesmo era o queijo.
Hoje, esse mesmo resíduo está no centro de uma das maiores crises de abastecimento da indústria alimentícia global. 🧵

O preço do Whey Protein subiu até 110% entre 2024 e 2025.
Na Europa, o quilo do concentrado chegou a €23.
Nos EUA, fornecedores já esgotaram toda a produção disponível para o restante do ano.
Mais impressionante que o número: não falta leite no mundo. A produção global de laticínios segue estável.
O problema está em outro lugar.
E tem a ver com um medicamento para emagrecer que ninguém esperava que fosse afetar a produção do suplemento.

E tem a ver com um medicamento para emagrecer que ninguém esperava que fosse afetar a produção do suplemento.
Para entender a crise, é preciso entender de onde vem o Whey.
Na fabricação de queijo, o leite se separa em coalhada sólida e soro líquido. Esse soro é filtrado, pasteurizado e desidratado até virar o pó branco dos shakers.
O Whey é um subproduto. Não há como produzir mais sem fazer mais queijo.
Esse gargalo existe há décadas, mas nunca foi tão visível quanto agora.

🚨Earth has a mysterious triple symmetry that may influence its climate
New research finds that a circle running along the 27° east & 153° west meridians divides the globe into 2 halves with equal reflectivity & this may have implications for #SolarGeoengineering schemes.🧵1/10

2/ This study matters bcz Earth's reflectivity (albedo) controls how much solar energy stays in the climate system.
For decades, researchers knew the NH & SHemispheres reflect similar amounts of sunlight. But nobody had seriously looked for similar patterns across longitude.

3/ Using 25 years of satellite observations, researchers discovered that the 27°E meridian uniquely splits Earth into eastern & western hemispheres with almost identical reflected sunlight. Not 20°E. Not 40°E. Just one remarkably precise divide.
