PERANG TANAH DANYANG
Part 12.1 - Babad Tanah Danyang

Ada alasan mengapa alam mereka dipisahkan dari manusia. Ada sesuatu yang dimiliki oleh manusia yang tidak dimiliki oleh para danyang...

Panas membakar hutan dengan kecepatan yang mengerikan, melahap setiap dedaunan dan pohon yang berdiri di jalannya. Di tengah kobaran api, sosok Jagatbara berdiri angkuh, tubuhnya memancarkan aura tak terkalahkan. Jika bukan karena perlindungan sang Roro Mayit, Danan dan Cahyo mungkin sudah menjadi abu.

“Aku? Mengapa ada diriku yang lain?” Danan bertanya dengan nada bingung, matanya terpaku pada sosok di hadapannya.

“Kau masih ingat Bara, kan?” Cahyo bertanya, matanya tajam.

“Tidak mungkin aku melupakannya.”

“Dia adalah dirimu, tetapi dari semesta Bara—semesta yang dikendalikan oleh pusaka Mayit.”
Sosok Danan dari semesta Bara melangkah maju, menyodorkan keris ragasukma dengan tatapan penuh keyakinan. Danan menerima keris itu tanpa ragu.

“Tunjukkan pada kami, Danan yang selalu dibanggakan Cahyo,” tantang sosok itu.

“Tenang saja. Aku hanya meminjamnya sebentar,” ucap Danan sambil duduk bersila. Ia memisahkan sukma dari raganya dengan tenang, lalu mengambil keris itu dalam bentuk sukmanya.

Cahyo dan Danan dari semesta Bara hanya bisa saling bertukar pandang, bingung dengan tindakan tersebut. Tapi ketika keris itu berpindah ke tangan Danan dalam wujud sukmanya, semuanya menjadi jelas.

“Fisik keris Ragasukma milikku tidak ada padaku, tetapi sukma kerisnya tetap menyatu denganku,” ujar Danan dingin. “Ayo, bersiap!”

Cahyo memberi isyarat kepada Danan dari semesta Bara untuk memperhatikan. Mereka mengangguk paham. Danan melayang ke udara, tinggi di atas mereka, dan mengarahkan ujung kerisnya ke arah Jagatbara.

This is a very disappointing read.

I recently wrote to the National questioning John Swinney’s strategy.

Many on here accused me of being disloyal and potentially damaging our prospects ahead of Holyrood 2026.

Then I read this and I felt so bloody angry
2/6

To be clear, I broadly supported the GRR, even knowing it might cost us support.

But the party and government didn’t explain it well enough to the public, who weren’t behind it,

a pause would have been welcome...

But no, we pressed ahead, and we all know the result.
3/6

So for the main champion of the GRR to say this now, on her way out the door, is not just disappointing. it’s damaging.

But the potential for damage to our cause goes WAY beyond the GRR, a long long way beyond it.

OK one last go..... for those who follow or interact with me the usual caveats around apologising for repetition.

For anyone remotely interested in protecting the vulnerable from sexual and physical harm, particularly children please read the below. All of the facts and statistics I will refer to are openly and relatively early verifiable. Yoy can even use Grok to check should you have difficult believing me.

I work in Public Protection. It comes under many names in different forces, MOSOVO, Jigsaw e.t.c but it all concerns the same thing. Managing the risk posed by Registered Sex Offenders and other Potentially Dangerous Persons to the Public. I have done this role for approximately six years as Police Officer and have a number of other skills and roles which are part time including being a level 2 Officer (riot Officer in common parlance) and a CBRN Officer alongside some additional skillsets. Prior to this I was on a mixture of Response and C.I.D. teams. In my current role I have arrested and taken to Court approximately 300 Registered Sex Offenders for further offending. I say this not to boast or for self aggrandisement but to try and establish my credentials and to demonstrate that what I am saying is backed by experience and profound knowledge of the subject matter.

We are fucked. It is the fault of successive Governments and public apathy. If you wish to know why and the reality of the situation then please read on. If you don't then do so in the knowledge you are making a choice to not understand what is happening to the people trying to protect you and your children from RSO's. That might make you feel angry and upset. It should do. We would not be in this situation without your apathy. If you wish to do something about that we need you to harness those emotions and utilise them accordingly.

The Sex Offenders Register began in 1997. It's genesis came from the realisation and acknowledgement that sex offenders need a degree of monitoring and controlling to protect the public. Thus was born VISOR. The Violent and Sexual Offender Register. This is a database maintained and updated by the Police which monitor and tracks Sex Offenders and tries to ensure they are tracked, monitored and adhering to the requirements needed of them. This was further added to by the Sexual Offences Act 2003 and formally codified in the Sex Offender Notification Requirements. These are requirements incumbent on ALL rso's to register their names, aliases, addresses, passports etc. Failure to do so is a criminal offence with a maximum sentence of breaching being 5 years imprisonment.

At this juncture it is worth pointing out that we are one of the few countries to have such a Register. America and Australia (along with a few others) also have one. Almost none of our European contemporaries do. Indeed the idea of a European Sex Offenders registry has been mooted numerous times and has failed to come to fruition. A number of European countries including Spain and France have explicitly argued that such a Register would breach the human rights enshrined by the ECHR for those subjected to it. All these countries despite not having such a Register to manage and Police have vastly greater Policing resources available to them. The U.K. has one of the lowest Officer to population ratio in all of Europe. Approximately half that of France, Spain, Italy, Greece and Russia. About a third less than Germany. Bear that in mind as and if you read on as despite us having such low numbers and resources we have correspondingly far greater duties. All whilst being routinely unarmed.

In the U.K. when the Register was first established it was recognised that it would need officers and staff to manage the RSO's on it. To visit, monitor, support and if necessary arrest them for infractions of their conditions or further offending. When the guidelines for workload were drawn up it was decreed that no individual Officer would have more than thirty Offenders to manage. Anything more was seen and inherently unworkable and likely to result in increased risk. This number and the time it was created is, again, very important to bear in mind as you read on. The limit of thirty was imposed before the creation of Sexual Offenders Prevention Orders and their later successor Sexual Harm Prevention Orders. These are Court Orders bespoke and tailored to an RSO's offending. They will limit things such as an Offenders access to children, Internet access, apps they can use, registering internet enabled devices with Police e.t.c. e.t.c. Their use has vastly increased and results in large numbers of arrests and investigations as Offenders breach them. Again the maximum sentence for breaching such an order is 5 years.

Fast forward to 2010 and the Home Office quietly changed the maximum number of Offenders an individual Officer could manage. Instead of thirty it was now fifty. This was not debated in Parliament. It was not really debated at all. It was not imposed due to increasing resources or lack of work the stark naked truth was there were too many Offenders and not enough Officers. Indeed despite the ever increasing number of RSO's there had been an approximately 20 percent in the number of Public Protection Offficers to deal with them with greater workload and complexity due to the introdution of SOPO's. You will note the date. 2010. The start of austerity. Bear in mind how bad the situation was therfore prior to austerity and brace yourself accordingly for what has come next.

Since 2014 the number of RSO's has doubled. From approximately 50,000 to 100,000. In that same timeframe Police funding has been catastrophically slashed. The Met alone has lost a billion pounds in real term funding. My own force has lost hundreds of millions. Between 6 to 8 hundred Police Stations have closed. Tens of thousands of Officers have left. That was all needed experience. As of today around a third of Officers in the U.K. have less than five years experience. That is an appalling, disastrous figure. Government spokesman about healthy churn. In reality they wished to gut Police of experience as it was cheaper to have lots of inexperienced Officers bith in terms of general pay and pensions.

Governmental Ministers will often talk about protecting the front line. This is meaningless jargon. Back office staff are crucial and critical. Worse when they are gone the tasks they performed still have to be done..... by the front line. Remember this when you are struggling to get hold of emergency response officers with their tiny numbers and horrific myriad of duties and tasks they need to complete. You were warned about this. You were warned of the consequences of the cuts and what it would mean to Policing. You did not listen. The Government gambled, correctly, on your stupidity, myopia, apathy and ignorance. They knew that when the chickens came home to roost that the Police would be Blamed for the effects of the cuts imposed upon them. They were, heartbreakingly, entirely correct to gamble as such.

So 100,000 RSO's, decreasing staff and Officer numbers, greater tasks. On my team the current average is now 64 Offenders each to manage within the community. Over double the number to manage than when the Register started. Every single member of my team failed their last psychological screening which we have to complete yearly. Every single one. If one of them goes off sick or decides they can no longer bear to carry on the number we will manage will jump to around 76 each. This isn't manageable. It isn't right. This is a national disgrace replicated across the board. If you think my colleagues seem weak or unmotivated consider the conditions they labour under on your behalf. Due to our tiny numbers we have noone to hand onto. This means if we arrest someone we deal with them entirely. Arrest, searches(section 32 and 18), interview, casefile building, going to CPS to obtain charges e.t.c. An arrest will usually result in a remand given the level of risk we deal with. That means a shift of, ordinarily, between 16 to 20 hours. On average we arrest 2-3 RSO's a week. Our stations are often, literally, falling apart with leaks and crumbling infrastructure. Waiting for solicitors which, like us, have been denuded of funding and investment so there are not nearly enough. This means my team are exhausted with massive impacts on their personal lives and missing out on children and family events e.t.c... even basic expectations of sleep cannot be met. My colleagues and I regularly deal with extrme offences and exceptionally dangerous people. Two weeks ago one of the men we deal with was sentenced, amongst the things we uncovered, for assaulting two of my colleagues whilst arresting him. To say nothing of the appalling material we regularly are subjected to when gathering evidence. Having to grade multiple videos of babies and toddlers being raped and provide a statment after 16 hours on duty in a station so stripmined off funds it cannot even supply sachets of squash for its officers to drink is not an ideal work environment. All this before we get to the Courts..

The Court system has, broadly, ceased to function. There are not enough specialist lawyers and Judges to deal with normal cases let alone specialist and sexual cases. Trial dates are, in of themselves, a national emergency. Basic task like transferring Defendants from prison to Court or getting liveliness to prison regularly simply fail to work. Accelerated by the privatisation of these services. The prisons themselves are collapsing. In the U.K. the Prison estate is operating at just under 100% capacity. That is a disgrace. Again successive Governments have failed to invest and fund. The Public have failed to hold them to account. Prison Officers operate in squalid, dangerous, terrifying conditions. They don't have the equipment and backup they need because Governments have "allowed" themselves to be led by pressure groups and activisits because its chepaer than properly equipping them. Something that many of these groups may wish to ponder. Yoy are simply carrying water for Governments looking to do things on the cheap. Prison Officers don't have tasers because the reality is it costs money. Both for the equipment and training. It is cheaper to "listen" to pressure groups to provide the political cover as a reason. The Government don't really believe or care that violent prisoners might be "traumatised" by the sight of a taser that may have been used on them outside of prison. It's just a hook to hang failure to resource on.

This complete abrogation of responsibility from those who Govern in our name has made our prison estate woefully over populated, highly dangerous and open to corruption and subversion by organised crime. The tactics and technology are readily available, for instance, to prevent drone drops of money, drugs, phones e.t.c. They are not implemented because they cost money. Or indeed because the tentacles of corruption have embedded themselves ever further up the chain. It is hard to believe our ministers are such paragons of virtue that they are beyond the purview of being corrupted by organised crime.

I am now arresting and breaching Offenders who are arriving at bail hostels with undeclared internet enabled devices, simcards and USB sticks that they have brought with them from prison. Prisoners in many establishments openly film and record themselves, they have YouTube channels and update their dating profiles from inside.... and continue to offend.

That prison crisis directly impacts the management of RSO's. Prison terms have been cut from 50% of a sentence to 40% now to 30%. Ministers have repeatedly assured us that violent and sexual offenders are exempt from th3se releases. That is a straight lie. Sexual and Violent Offenders as graded by Police and Probation are regularly being let out using these schemes. I have already arrested and remanded quite alot of them for further offending. Ministers language has now changed saying that dangerous offenders will not be released. Again this is pure mendacity. Mendacity erected on your gambled ignorance. What Ministers are saying here is that those prisoners designated as a dangerous offender by a Judge and sentenced accordingly are exempt from these release schemes. That is a very rare designation. It means that an offender who is found dangerous will serve two thirds of their sentence and be subject to an extended license period. The vast majority of sexual and violent offenders are not so designated. From rapists to domestic abusers north of 95% of such individuals will not be deemed dangerous. When Ministers say dangerous offenders will not be released they are lying. They are deliberately using technical legal terminology not in any way shape or from the meaning of dangerous as the public would understand it.

There's so much more to discuss but most won't ever read as far as this. Asylum seekers? There's a hot button issue. Are yoy aware that the Home Office won't deport someone (as rarely as they do anyway) if they have an active criminal investigation against them? Repeatedly raped a child?when you're released and waiting for the deportation process carry on committing crime. It stops the process. What a design system. I haven't even touched on Probation and their crucification and disintegration. Reactive management of RSO's? Such a cornucopia of horror and decay you are all kept deliberately ignorant of

I can only use the tools and resources given to me by the Government to protect you. The Government will only give to me what it feelsit can get away with. It is up to the Public to redress the balance. I cannot strike. The Police and the Military give up the right to strike to serve You. You will note that bith organisations have been filleted and gutted by successive Governments. The Police are the Public. The Public the Police. When you denigrate me and mock me for failings that I have had no hand in creating and you have allowed you are simply engaging in self-harm. The results of that are now manifest everywhere in our society. If you want to start to redress the issues than do so. Ask politicians about what i am saying. Demand answers. Is anyone marching and protesting about this? Are they bollox. I have said it before but it is worth repeating I find it more stress relieving and rewarding to drive aid convoys to Kyiv them I do serving the British public. I go again October. I will be met by people who are kind and decent to me, pleased to see and grateful for my meagre efforts at help.

Go on ask your local MP about all thus, ask your elected officials. They will not answer me. I have tried. They will all, uniformly, ignore me.

It's cheaper that way.
I appreciate that quite a few people have replied to this post and one of two have privately messaged me. I apologise for not replying yet and will endeavour to do so later when I have a chance.

I am currently at work. I have spent the past five hours grading child abuse material for one of my cases where the Defendant is currently on remand awaiting sentencing.

By policy I should never undertake more than 4hrs at a time of this work due to its nature and the toll it takes. However due to the cuts and lack of staff in conjunction with the desperately urgent need to get the results to Court on average such sessions last eight hours. I'm currently having a coffee and cigarette break and as I would cheerfully stab myself in the eyes rather than get back to what I have just had to be doing I am going to give this post some additional important context.

Please bear in mind that amoung the endless parade of horror that I have just graded one of the videos was of a group of men taking it in turns to try and choke and drown a baby in their semen whilst they high fived above her. You will forgive me if my tone is therfore a little brusque I am currently ill disposed towards the Public.

I said in the post above this that you can face check me. Use Grok should you so wish or any other data available to you. All I say is openly, publically verifiable. That is the tragedy. Should you wish yo be informed you could be. That you are not is, to a degree, personal failure. To a far larger degree it is a failure of those organs of state and media whom are meant to keep you informed and educated so you can, in turn, make informed choices.

I will turn now to something I hold very dear. Something I have dedicated my adult life to. Victims of rape. To listen to media, social and otherwise, rape has been effectively "decriminalised". This is horseshit. In approximately 2014/2015 recording standards for nearly all crimes changed. It became far broader in scope and therfore far more crimes were recorded regardless of the circumstances of them being recorded. Until this point between 8 and 10 percent of all recorded rapes led to trial. Then the numbers nosedived. This coincided with the recording of third hand party reporting of rapes as full offences regardless of whether the aggrieved confirmed an offence had taken place or wished for any action to be taken. The time period also coincided with the widespread adoption of the D.A.S.H. form which is a risk assessment tool implemented to help grade the risk of Domestic Violence to victims. It is not a statement nor is it evidential it is a tool to assess potential risk. One of the questions surround sexual violence. Large numbers of people will disclose sexual violence without wishing to make any form of complaint but will often want it formally logged. All of these contribute to the rape statistics.

A far greater metric is to measure how many rape offences with an aggrieved who wishes to support a prosecution are charged. This drastically changes the picture. There are all kinds of issues with the investigation of rape and serious sexual violence. I do not claim in any way that the system for this is perfect nor that the experience can be extremely difficult, frightening and traumatising. However.

The media are deliberately feeding a narrative that makes victims of rape less likely to come forward because theu think the statistics show there is no point. This simply isn't true. The media know this. So do Politicians. They know this because they have been informed.

Perhaps as I am weary of investigating someone could pick up the slack and opine on why an institution such as say, the BBC, would deliberately put out a statistically warped narrative that discourages victims of rape from reporting to the Police? What a mystery that seems to me.

I know there are issues and failings when it comes to rape investigations and for those who have suffered because of it I am extremely sorry. But if someone is reading this and is scared to report something that has happened to them because they've heard there's no point and it isn't taken seriously please, please dont listen. If you feel strong enough the Police will take you seriously and offer support. The Detectives dealing with these cases are amongst the most dedicated to ever serve.

CEOP and the NCA estimate through IP traffic and consumption of CSAM material that approximately 800,000 people in the U.K. have a sexual interest in children.... and that is only one strand of sexual offending, albeit a large one.

Do you think my team and it's counterparts are going to get eight times the number of Officers anytime soon?

My posts are geared towards Public Protection but I wish to make it clear there ALL my colleagues work in intolerable conditions on your behalf. None more so than Response. When you mock them for Policing "hurty words" it is an incredibly deep betrayal.of what they go through every day to tey and maintain some semblance of order as our Society devours itself.

The woods are burning Joe Public. Over to you. This is your job. We live in a Democracy. Use it.

At the height of COVID, a “crazy” doctor was treating patients with a 99.96% survival rate.

Dr. Zelenko’s protocol was so effective, it sparked a war against HCQ.

They mocked his claims, but they kept coming true. Here’s what he said:

#1 - “Not everyone got the same thing.”
In an interview with Mel K, Dr. Zelenko said, “Some of the lots were 5,000% more lethal than others — or think of it as 50x. So, let’s say one vial killed one person. Another vial killed 50 people.”

“If everyone would have gotten the same thing, it would be a clear correlation that you’re being poisoned, and no one would take it,” Dr. Zelenko concluded. Thus, the answer to why some people took the shot and turned out okay is because “not everyone got the same thing.”
Dr. Zelenko’s bold claim was confirmed in March 2023, when a study performed by Schmeling and colleagues found that 4.2% of the batches accounted for a staggering 71% of adverse events. Image

Wonderful day for a new #LongCOVID paper! Thanks to an incredible collaboration with @VirusesImmunity and brilliant work done by @keylas3, we studied the effects of injecting antibodies taken from people with LC into mice compared with what happened



1/ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…Graphical abstract of the new paper highlighting the following key concepts: • Long COVID features autoantibodies targeting neural and vascular tissues • Patients’ IgG shows increased ADCP activity against MED20 • Passive transfer of IgG induces pain and fatigue-like phenotypes in mice • Mouse pain behavior after IgG transfer correlates with patient-reported chronic pain
when we injected antibodies taken from people who had fully recovered from COVID or never had COVID. This sort of experiment is called a “passive transfer” experiment and the results we saw were extremely interesting. First, when the antibodies were exposed to tissue samples

in a dish, the LC antibodies frequently created reactivity in the tissue that was not seen in the control samples. Second, when the animals were transferred autoantibodies from people with #LongCOVID, they got sick! The most prominent effect was seeing pain behaviors emerge in

LA PAELLA: ¿MITO MODERNO O PLATO HISTÓRICO?

Circulan dos etimologías falsas sobre la palabra paella que conviene desmontar antes de nada. La primera, muy extendida en los países árabes y repetida sin descanso en internet, sostiene que paella viene del árabe 'baqiyya', "las sobras", porque los criados de los reyes moros se llevaban a casa los restos de arroz, pollo y verduras que dejaban sus señores al terminar el banquete. La segunda, más sentimental, asegura que viene de "para ella", el plato que un hombre cocinó para conquistar a su amada. Las dos son etimología popular de la que suena bonita y resulta falsa en cuanto se la mira de cerca.

La palabra paella viene del latín 'patella', que designaba un plato extendido o una sartén ancha, y de esa misma raíz salieron el italiano 'padella', el francés antiguo 'paele' (hoy 'poêle'), el castellano antiguo 'padilla' y la 'paila' que todavía se usa en buena parte de Hispanoamérica. Joan Coromines precisó un detalle muchas veces ignorado, y es que la forma patrimonial valenciana habría sido 'padella', conservada aún hoy en los valles pirenaicos, porque en catalán antiguo la -d- intervocálica no caía; que diga 'paella', con la -d- perdida, delata que la voz se tomó del francés. Es decir, paella no nombra el guiso, sino la sartén de dos asas en que se cuece, y el plato tomó el nombre del recipiente.

El arroz, eso sí, es herencia andalusí, y ahí el tópico acierta de pleno. Aunque ya se conocía en Hispania, su uso común lo introdujeron los musulmanes en tierras valencianas entre los siglos VIII y X, con el sistema de acequias que hizo cultivable el marjal de la Albufera, cuyo nombre viene del árabe 'al-buhayra', "el pequeño mar". Lo que no es andalusí es la paella, porque entre el cultivo del arroz y la invención del plato median siglos: el arroz es la materia prima medieval, la paella es una creación valenciana mucho más tardía.

El plato nació en la huerta y en la Albufera como comida de campesinos, pastores y jornaleros, cocinada al aire libre al mediodía con leña de rama de naranjo, y los recetarios medievales lo confirman por omisión, pues ni el 'Llibre de Sent Soví' de hacia 1324 ni el 'Llibre del Coch' de 1520 contienen nada parecido a una paella, aunque sí recetas de arroz en cazuela o caldoso. La primera vez que aparece descrita la técnica que define el plato, el arroz seco cocido por absorción, es en un manuscrito del siglo XVIII atribuido al franciscano Josep Orri, donde se distingue ya entre el arroz "a la valenciana", que debe quedar seco, y el "a la catalana", más caldoso. La primera receta impresa que lleva por título "Sartén a la valenciana (Paella)" no llega hasta 1857.

Ni rastro de marisco en todo ese recorrido. Los ingredientes originales eran los del marjal y el corral, arroz, pollo, conejo, a veces pato o anguila, garrofó, ferraura y bajoqueta, que son judías de la tierra, tomate, aceite, azafrán, pimentón, caracoles (cuando se lo dije a mis compañeros de trabajo escoceses se quedaron blancos) y una rama de romero. La paella de marisco es la versión costera, posterior, y la paella mixta, esa que junta pollo con gambas y mejillones, es ya un invento del siglo XX ligado al turismo de costa, que en Valencia se mira con un recelo que va del desdén a la ofensa. La receta canónica con pollo y conejo se fijó en 1961, en el primer concurso de Sueca. La polémica más sonada la protagonizó el cocinero británico Jamie Oliver en octubre de 2016, cuando publicó una paella con chorizo y desató la ira de media Comunidad Valenciana.

Que la paella sea hoy el símbolo gastronómico de toda España y un icono mundial de lo español no debería hacer olvidar lo que fue en su origen, un arroz seco de huerta, de carne de corral y caracoles, cocinado por jornaleros a la orilla de un lago al que los moros habían llamado el pequeño mar.

The effectiveness of Christianity has never been measured primarily by how much influence it has in government or systems. This is the same mistake they made with Jesus when he came.

They were expecting a Saviour who would be a political leader...
..and instead they got “the son of a carpenter”

Daniel, Joseph, and Nehemiah all served faithfully in pagan systems because providence placed them there, but their primary distinctiveness was covenant faithfulness to God in the middle of compromise....
...they were not trying to be pillars for societal transformation.

Even in the New Testament, we don't see the apostles frame Christianity as a movement for national development.

The Great Commission had nothing to do with “transform systems”....

The Woodpecker is the only proof that God really exists.

And I'm going to prove it to you right NOW:🧵 Image
A woodpecker pecks at 20 hits per second.

That's 12,000 pecks per day.

The force? 1,200 g's of impact—enough to liquefy a human brain instantly.

For context, fighter pilots black out at 9 g's.

So how is this bird still alive?
## 1. The Shock Absorber Skull

The woodpecker's skull has spongy bone that acts like a crumple zone in a car.

But here's the problem: Regular bone can't absorb that force.

Scientists discovered the bone has a specific density and structure that doesn't exist in any other animal.Image

Bona tarda, senyora @MariaEugeniaGay ,
Sóc la Dana, membre de la família desempadronada il·legalment que ha mencionat la senyora @SoniaDeveRi en el plenari que ha tingut lloc avui.

He analitzat en directe les barbaritats que ha dit i m’he dedicat a respondre-les una per una
La @SoniaDeveRi ha portat el prec al plenari de manera desinteressada, tal com ha estat tota la nostra interacció amb ella. De tots els partits polítics existents a Barcelona, l’única persona que s’ha interessat per nosaltres ha estat aquesta senyora, tot i no compartir idees.
Nosaltres, tal com s’ha esmentat en el prec, som PROPIETARIS del pis on vivim i també de l’únic habitatge del qual disposem. El que es demana al prec és INFORMAR d’un possible moviment que s’hagi efectuat al padró, sense facilitar dades tal com ja ha deixat ben clar anteriorment

In 1946, Menachem Begin was on a British wanted poster that read: “Wanted for Murder.”

As leader of the Irgun, he ordered the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, killing 91 people — most of them civilians. He also orchestrated the kidnapping and hanging of two British sergeants whose bodies were left booby-trapped.

Thirty years later, Begin became Prime Minister of Israel. In 1978 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

This was not an anomaly. It was the beginning of a clear pattern. 🧵Image
In 1944, Yitzhak Shamir — leader of the Lehi (Stern Gang) — masterminded the assassination of Lord Moyne, Britain’s Minister Resident in the Middle East.

In 1948, Shamir’s group assassinated Count Folke Bernadotte, the Swedish UN mediator who had personally rescued more than 30,000 prisoners from Nazi concentration camps. Bernadotte was murdered the day after he submitted a report recommending Palestinian refugees be allowed to return to their homes.

Shamir was arrested and sentenced to prison. But he was quickly pardoned.

He went on to serve as Prime Minister of Israel from 1983 to 1992.

The man who ordered the assassination of a UN mediator who had saved tens of thousands of Jews from the Holocaust later became head of the state that claims to speak for Holocaust survivors.Image
Ariel Sharon commanded Israeli forces during the 1948 Lod and Ramle operations — part of what Palestinians call the Nakba. In 1953, as head of the notorious Unit 101, he led the Qibya massacre in the West Bank, where his troops killed 69 Palestinian civilians — the majority women and children — by dynamiting their homes while they were inside.

Sharon later became Prime Minister of Israel.

In 1948, Einstein and Hannah Arendt wrote a letter to the New York Times comparing Begin’s Herut party to “Nazi and fascist parties.”

That party merged with other far-right-wing factions and became Likud. Sharon was a key architect of the merger and co-founded Likud with Begin.

Likud has governed Israel for most of the last 50 years.Image

Il caso è quello del pilota collaudatore dell’Aeritalia Pietro Trevisan, ex ufficiale pilota dell'Aeronautica Militare.
Ha 50 anni e 16 anni di servizio effettivo.
Dopo aver riscattato altri 15 anni di servizio militare ha chiesto all’INPS quanto dovuto.
La cifra? Image
Oltre un miliardo di lire come capitalizzazione della metà della pensione e un ulteriore assegno mensile di quasi cinque milioni di lire per il resto della vita. Assurdo, ma incredibile a dirsi, tutto regolare. Image

Gdy 12 września 1725 w normandzkim Coutances w rodzinie le Gentile urodził się syn, nikt nie spodziewał się, jak niezwykłe będzie jego życie. Życie człowieka uważanego za jednego z największych pechowców nauki. Francuskiego Odyseusza, który nie poddał się przeciwnościom losu.
🧵
Początkowo nic nie zapowiadało, że naszego bohatera spotka coś niezwykłego. Jedynym co go wyróżniało co fantazja rodziców, którzy nadali mu aż cztery imiona: Guillaume-Joseph-Hyacinthe Jean-Baptiste, czyli Wilhelm Józef Hiacynt Jan Chrzciciel.
Chłopak uczył się, by zostać księdzem, aż nagle nastąpił przełom. Usłyszał wykład astronoma Josepha-Nicolasa Delisle i znalazł sens życia. Postanowił, że pójdzie w ślady mistrza i będzie badał gwiazdy. Był zdolny, szybko zdobywa posadę w Obserwatorium Paryskim, zakłada rodzinę.

איך נהפך מייקל אייזנברג, אחד ממשקיעי ההייטק הבולטים בישראל, לחבר בכיר בכוורת של נתניהו • אופיר דור וחגי עמית • שרשור 🧵
themarker.com/news/politics/…
הקדמה קצרה:
בגיל 55 מייקל אייזנברג הוא אחד מאנשי ההון סיכון הוותיקים בישראל, אבל כבר שנים מחפש השפעה רחבה יותר. העולה החדש מארה"ב, שהתברג בצמרת עולם ההשקעות, נהפך לאחד מאנשי העסקים המקורבים לנתניהו ולדמות דומיננטית ביחסים עם ארה"ב. בלי ניסיון ביטחוני ומדיני אבל עם הרבה ביטחון עצמי, הוא הגה תוכניות לשינוי המציאות במזרח התיכון. זה נגמר בכישלון.

תקציר הכתבה:
מייקל אייזנברג, ממשקיעי ההון סיכון הבולטים בישראל, נהפך מאז 7 באוקטובר לדמות משפיעה גם בזירה המדינית־ביטחונית ולמקורב לנתניהו. לצד הצלחות ענק בהייטק, הקריירה שלו רצופה הימורים גדולים ומחלוקות — מהשקעות ב־WeWork ובפרנק ועד מעורבותו במיזם הסיוע GHF לעזה, שנחשב לאחד הכישלונות המרכזיים במלחמה. מקורביו מתארים אותו כאדם מבריק, מקושר ובעל ביטחון עצמי יוצא דופן; מבקריו טוענים כי אותה חוצפה ונטייה להימורים עלולות להיות מסוכנות בזירה הביטחונית.

Ancient texts never gave rituals or gemstones as the first remedy. They gave behaviors.

Behavioural Remedies for all 9 planets - what vedic stories and scriptures suggest you to do ?

1/N 🧵
After years of deep research into Puranic texts, Sanskrit scriptures, and the mythological framework that Vedic astrology was built upon, one pattern appeared consistently: every planet responds to behavior first.

Before any stone, before any mantra, before any donation. Ancient stories were not entertainment. They were behavioral manuals encoded in narrative form.
Sun -

King Harishchandra was from the Surya dynasty, the same lineage as Ram. He was known across all three worlds for one quality alone: he never spoke an untruth. Not once.

Not even under destruction.
Rishi Vishwamitra tested him not with temptation but with complete dismantling. Harishchandra's kingdom was taken. His wealth was gone. His wife was sold into servitude.

He was working as a servant at a cremation ground when his wife arrived carrying their dead son, with no money for the cremation fee. His duty required him to collect that fee. He collected it even from her. Even in that moment, the word did not break.
Devraj Indra descended from heaven to witness this. The gods watching could not believe any soul could hold truth so completely through so much. The son was revived.

The kingdom was restored. But what restored everything was not prayer or ritual. It was the absolute, unbroken alignment between words and actions across every moment of suffering.Sun in the chart rules the soul, authority, the father, and authentic self-expression. It weakens in direct proportion to the gap between what is said and what is done. When promises are made and not kept, when the face shown to the world differs from the internal reality, the Sun dims precisely as it dims during an eclipse.

The behavioral remedy for sun -

do not say anything that does not match internal reality. If the answer is no internally, say no. If the commitment cannot be kept, do not make it. If an apology is owed, give it directly without decoration. Not harshness. Alignment.

Every time a word matches an action, the Sun in the chart activates. Harishchandra did not recite the Aditya Hridayam to get his life back. He simply refused to let his words and actions become two different things.

Ein Beispiel gescheiterter Integration 🧵:
Tschetschenische Familie, infolge des 2. Tschetschenienkriegs nach 🇦🇹 geflohen.
Eines der mittlerweile 7 hier geborenen Kinder ist meine Schülerin - ein liebes, einigermaßen bemühtes Mädel, ein Gewinn für meine Klasse.
1/12
Vater & Mutter sprechen nach Jahrzehnten in 🇦🇹 kein einziges Wort Deutsch, beide arbeiten nicht. Die 9-köpfige Familie lebt von der Sozialhilfe im vom Staat errichteten Gemeindebau.
Die ganze Familie reist regelmäßig nach Tschetschenien, aus dem sie ja geflohen sind.

Die Eltern empfinden Schulbildung für ihre Töchter als sinnlos, denn die werden sowieso als de facto-Sklavinnen verheiratet. Schon jetzt müssen die Töchter unmittelbar nach dem Unterricht nach Hause. Kontakt zu Freunden ist verboten.

« Au nom de ce qui les unissait, les Etats européens décidèrent de parler de ce qui les séparait. L'Acte final d'Helsinki, en 1975, a symbolisé et lancé ce que l'on appelle le « processus » de la CSCE, dont les grandes étapes ont été les conférences de Madrid, achevées en 1983 et de Vienne qui vient de se clore, au début de cette année 1989 ». 
(La CSCE, 1973-1994 a été remplacée en 1995 par l’OSCE)

« Que signifie ce terme de dimension humaine ? Eh bien, il s'agit du respect des droits fondamentaux des individus, des libertés individuelles mais aussi collectives. On ne peut traiter ces questions comme un domaine de coopération parmi d'autres, car la vie des femmes et des hommes que vous représentez s'en trouve directement affectée »

« L'éthique comme la liberté sont, malgré ce qu'on pourrait penser, des notions singulièrement peu abstraites.
Ensuite, l'identité de l'Europe, ce qui donne à notre civilisation sa portée dans le monde, repose pour l'essentiel sur ces valeurs de liberté et de respect des droits. Il s'agit de retrouver ce qui est au coeur de notre histoire... 4/11
