A few thoughts about the end of life for the survivors who make it to the end of their lives (the elderly, yes, they are the survivors of life).

When I do nursing home visits, very often, people have come to the end of their lives. They have come to the end of what medicine can do for them. Medicine can't fix ageing hearts, or kidneys, or brains. There is no cure for old age (yet, watch this space over next decades).

When it's very clear to us that the medicines don't work anymore, we have a very frank discussion about changing our goals from trying to cure things that can't be cured, to prioritising comfort and dignity above all else. Treating symptoms now matters more than cure.

(We never, ever, give up, or stop, or pull out. We do not use the word futile, nothing is futile because there is always something we can do. Whether it's medicine or surgery, morphine or ice cream, there's always something we can do. We are there to lives completion).

These decisions to switch from trying to cure, to reducing symptoms and prioritising comfort and dignity aren't made in a prescriptive way. They are done over multiple discussions with our patients and families, and their carers and us. No god complexes here.

Countries around the world are speaking out about the #Deepstate of the #DNC CRIMINALS & The Military-Industrial Complex & other Corrupt Corporate & Business & Intel Agency Interests in #America which have subverted the nation, laws, ppl & the world.

For those who wish to travel during this festive season, here are a few security tips. Don't be deceived, there is no security in Nigeria.

(1) If you have the means to, & can afford it, please travel by Air, Once your journey is beyond the boarders of 2 states in Nigeria.

(2) If you must travel by road, please be on the lookout, against kidnappers. Kidnapping It is the most common and rampant crime now in Nigeria. It doesn't matter, if you are rich or poor. Government official, or private citizen. Kidnappers are on the rampage.

(3) Make sure your vehicle engine and Tyres are in good shape, for those traveling with private cars.
For those traveling with commercial vehicles, please go through a registered transport company. Where good & sound vehicles are guaranteed.

(4) For those traveling with private cars, make sure you follow only the roots, or roads you are conversant with. Drive through only the roads you know. Please don't divert to follow shortcuts. Shortcuts could be short ticket to danger or death. Don't follow roads you don't know.

(5) please don't travel in the night. Please don't drive in the night. Nigeria is not safe. If for any reason, you are held up in traffic until dark, drive down to the nearest police station, around and park. Or better still, drive into town, look for a hotel to pass the night.

BREAKING: The EU and UK have agreed a trusted trader scheme that would mean exemptions from tariffs for up to 98pc of goods flowing between Great Britain and Northern Ireland from January 1, @rtenews has learned.
The other 2% wd potentially avail of rebates from any tariffs.

2/ Tariffs would mostly only apply if no free trade agreement is concluded between the EU and UK.

Both sides have also agreed that agrifood products coming from GB to Northern Ireland will be exempt from requiring export health certificates for a period of at least three months

3/ These have proved the biggest concern for UK supermarket chains in NI, who rely on large and mixed consignments of food coming from GB depots.
Export health certificates can cost up to £200 per product and need to be signed off by a designated veterinary inspector.

4/ It’s understood the issue of how supermkts will comply with EU food safety rules could be dealt with through a UK commitment - possibly a declaration - that it does not intend to change its food safety rules from Jan 1. At that point the rules will be the same as the EU's.

5/ The trusted trade scheme would be subject to a review, or sunset clause, three and a half years after the Protocol comes into effect, according to an internal EU briefing

KERALA POLITICS and BJP's Role.

For those who are interested in Kerala politics, specifically BJP's stance and chances, I am transcribing a Youtube Q&A with @surendranbjp BJP president, Kerala.

A vibrant and savvy politician, KS is the leader Kerala BJP supporters asked for.

He is an extremely sharp strategist who leads from the front - someone who sees the dance from the balcony and also perfects nuances on the floor.

This interview reflects his acumen, clarity of thoughts and candid approach to politics. A no-nonsense leader, he says a lot.

1. How is BJP aligning with RSS in Kerala?

BJP and RSS relationship is that of ideology and political outfit (I have discussed this in detail in a previous thread and KS's view supports my points) and is strong currently.

Covid relief work has brought us even closer.

2. Accusation is that BJP does Hindu politics. But UDF (INC+++) has Ms League (IUML) and Kerala Congress (Xs) - in touch with their spiritual leaders - both INC and LDF do this.

But BJP doesn't do this. Why?

BJP does not need to do this as Kerala Hindus perceive BJP as their own, and at the moment we are basing on the Hindu support.

But we are open to minority support as well. Hindu movement is stronger, not sure how far UDF have understood this.

TWIMC: I've been Mathematician and Mother for ~30 years (now also Grandmother) and this is what matters. I spent the last 10 years studying individual variation on characteristics that are under selection but that have no heritability repercussions in the time scale under study.

In these studies I have "used" (please make a note of this word) primarily host-pathogen systems but my curiosity for completely different systems was particularly vivid last year and I was happily moving away from infectious diseases when the pandemic started.

Early in the Covid pandemic I started being approached by reporters who wanted to understand what was happening and what to expect over times to come. To respond to them I started studying the data and interpreting it in light of my models.

We were in March-April and kept hearing herd immunity thresholds around 60-80%. So as a matter of honesty I had to explain to my reporters that under the models I was using (which accounted for individual variation as that's what I do) HITs were much lower (10-20% in Europe).

In matter of days my life turned 180 degrees! All sorts of craziness from people challenging those numbers to going all the way to challenge me as a person and a suite of models that have nothing to oppose. When in fact neither me nor the models really care about what HITs are.

@poopajoop @DClay49 I have seen generation after generation of Aboriginal Families being failed in justice, in health, in education & employment.

@DClay49 We have had a RC we have had the 12 year close the gap failure and we have the Australian Law Reform Commission report and may other studies & enquires none of these recommend cashless welfare cards.

@DClay49 The staggering over-representation of Indigenous people in prison was the focus of the Australian Law Reform Commission report Pathways to Justice – Inquiry into the Incarceration Rate of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.

@DClay49 The report was delivered to the federal attorney-general in December 2017. 3 years later, the government has yet to touch the surface with the recommendations.

@DClay49 The inquiry recommend?
2 key recommendations involved “justice reinvestment”.  

Justice reinvestment is a strategy for reducing the number of people in prison by investing funds drawn from the corrections budget into early intervention,..

Ok Patriots I'm going to ask you a favor. I need you to retweet this thread. It will have important info, great info, good info and some speculation. Ready? Ok here we go.

1. Schedule of Events:

With foreign powers in the middle of extensive Voter Fraud issues during the 2020 US Presidential Election, the Constitution was literally hanging by a thread. It would be up to Patriots, as in each one of us, to help save it.

2. At least two Pentagon General Patriots (General Flynn and Gen. McInerney) were calling for Martial Law as at least five cases about the fraudulent 2020 Presidential Election headed to the Supreme Court this week.

3. In October 2020 POTUS started the process of turning the US into a Restored Republic under the original Constitution.

On Nov. 2 2020 President Trump signed NESARA into law with an Executive Order.

4. The RV was a secret military operation and diplomatic mission. Spec Op Force (SOF) units supposedly finished containment of Antifa leaders in the several hotspots across the nation this past weekend.

5. On Mon. 7 Dec. President Trump said that, “Big things are happening in the next couple of days.”

On Tues. 8 Dec. Texas filed a Supreme Court Lawsuit against four Battleground States for unconstitutionally changing Election Laws, treating voters unequally and voting...

When you see the light, you see the problem as solvable, and not just as a dark issue you can't do anything about !

"The Majority of creation and consumption is demonstrated in a type of sexuality, that is inauthentic to who we are as human beings.
It is a performance. It never speaks about intimacy.
It never speaks about love, caring, gentleness and all the other aspects of a healthy sexual

relationship.
It doesn't create a space for consent. It doesn't create a space for an evolution in our sexuality. It literally again is the opposite of what we want to be teaching any young person about sex".

The Sixth Carbon Budget (2033-2037) charts the decisive move to zero carbon for the UK. The CCC shows that polluting emissions must fall by almost 80% by 2035, compared to 1990 levels – a big step-up in ambition. (1/12) #UKCarbonBudget 🧵

Our recommended Sixth Carbon Budget would achieve well over half of the required emissions reduction to 2050 in the next 15 years, but decisive action must start today. (2/12) #UKCarbonBudget

The recommended Sixth Carbon Budget and UK NDC also reflect the goals and requirements of the Paris Agreement, recognising the UK’s responsibility as a richer developed nation and its respective capabilities. (3/12) #UKCarbonBudget

When we recommended the UK’s #NetZero target for 2050, we demonstrated that any negative economic impact was likely to be small and the overall impact could turn out to be positive. Our analysis for this report reinforces that finding. (4/12) #UKCarbonBudget

Our estimate of the annualised resource cost (which measures the net additional cost each year to deliver the same services with lower emissions) has fallen to less than 1% of GDP through to 2050. (5/12) #UKCarbonBudget

REVEALED: Indian Chronicles – how a massive 15-year influence operation successfully targeted the EU & UN with 750+ fake local media and 10+ zombie-NGOs.

Executive Summary & full report: https://t.co/W3IAxQTOqZ
Here are the facts 👇 (1/n)

Indian Chronicles’ key objective is to undermine Pakistan internationally.

To do so, they resurrected dead NGOs at the UN.

They impersonated the EU.

They laundered content produced by fake media to real media - and reached millions in South-Asia & across the world. (2/n)

Our new investigation began with a shocking discovery: @martinschulz, former President of the European Parliament, was said to have left politics.

But instead, it seemed he was now heading Canners International, a NGO dedicated to the promotion of… food in cans 🥫! (3/n)

We soon found the NGO he was supposedly leading officially ceased to exist in 2007 and was now regularly speaking at the UN Human Rights Council (@UN_HRC) to slam Pakistan. (4/n)

The truth is that Martin Schulz’s name has been hijacked by the malicious actors depicted in our investigation.
Canners International is, in fact, only one of the many UN Human Rights Council NGOs resurrected by Indian Chronicles. (5/n)

1) A LOT of balls in the air today on Capitol Hill, as is per usual here in December.

The House is expected to vote on a short-term spending bill today to avoid a government shutdown this weekend. Remember, this was supposed to be the easy part of the puzzle.

2) There are dozens of unresolved issues. So the new deadline for government funding will be 11:59:59 pm on December 18.

It’s possible the Senate could take up the stopgap funding bill today. But unclear. That may have to wait until tomorrow.

3) The Senate could also vote today to align with the House and pass the final version of the defense bill. But that could wait until tomorrow or even next week.

A veto override fight is brewing on this with President Trump.

4) The House scored WELL above the two-thirds necessary to override Mr. Trump’s threatened veto. In fact, the vote total last night went well above what the House had to approve the initial version of the legislation in the summer.

5) Based on the Senate’s vote total on the original version (86 yeas), senators should have the necessary votes to sync with the House and override the President later this month.

Congress has never overriden one of President Trump’s eight vetoes.

So, I've been having a squizz at the latest politicians' expenses claims

Not sure if you've noticed the glaring anomaly but I did @ipeaAusGov

You might want to take a second look at @senator_sam's expense claims, particularly her 'Travel Allowance'
🐝
#auspol #qt

I noticed @senator_sam claimed travel allowance for 98 nights July-Sept qtr

Bit odd given there's only 91 days in the July-September quarter! (Then I worked out she back-dated some travel allowance expenses)

Total claimed $24,676 for travel allowance for the qtr
🐝
#auspol #qt

Sometimes it's a bit hard with Senators, they're usually all over the state, committees & lots of things, so I thought I'd compare Senator Sam with all the other senators.

Yep, just as I thought, no other Senator came within cooee of Senator Sam

Topped the list
🐝
#auspol #qt

I notice Senator Sam stays a lot at Girraween, NT & claims 'Electorate Duties'

Not sure why, there's not much there, not even a motel that I can find.

Maybe @Senator_Sam can answer: What is the hotbed of electorate activity going on in Girraween, NT?
🐝
#auspol #qt

Interesting to note that during the time in question the Northern Territory had an election (22 Aug 2020)

Michael Gunner won, Senator Sam campaigned against him. She also said lots of horrible things about him during lockdown, she wanted the borders open.

THREAD on Hindu Architecture.

Recently when the 3D renders for the new Parliament building was was made public, it was mostly met with criticism here on twitter. Criticized for failing to incorporate elements of architecture which represent splendour of our Hindu civilization(1)

While many may say it is unfair to criticize a design just based on 3D renders, there is a reason why this criticism holds good in this case. It is the same reason why we haven't been able to construct... (2)

..any noteworthy public building since 1947 reflective of our ancient & classical culture(rare exceptions exist though).

The reason being the complete abandonment a huge vast ocean of literature on Hindu architecture. (3)

Coming back to the new Parliament building, its design & why it lacks traditional aesthetics. The problem is far more fundamental. The Central Vista & Lutyens was designed & constructed to serve the British Crown. (4)

The fundamental flaw isn't with the new Parliament building, rather the flaw is in the design of Lutyens itself (which is basically a mini township)

The new parliament building is just a continuation of this flaw which we have failed to remedy till now (5)

FACTS about "The Idea of #QAnon"
1. #Q or Qanon or "Anons" is "Just an Idea" Unlike Antifa or BLM
2. There is No organization nor any official organization of Q or Qanon & those who "are part of it" don't even know if there is a leader or who "the leader is" Unlike Antifa or BLM
