 2/ Chants of "Fuck Reuters" and "Uhuru"-- the Proud Boys ironic appropriation of a pan-African socialist movement-- happening on @Reuters' livestream.

"Patriots, storm the capital!" shouted through bullhorn. https://t.co/uoQsiWlMWA
3/ Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes is in the crowd, wearing a plate carrier and black baseball hat and generally looking stupid.
4/ Trump is now speaking, an hour late.

He claims that the "fake news media" has stolen the election.
5/ "We will stop the steal," Trump tells the crowd. "This was not a close election.... I've been in two elections, and the second one I won much bigger than the first."
6/ "Take third-world countries. Even their elections are more honest than what we have in this country," Trump tells the crowd.

"Fight for Trump!" the crowd chants.

This is what the start of an attempted coup looks like.
7/ "Just remember-- you're stronger, you're smarter... and you're the real people, the people who built this nation," Trump tells the crowd vis a vis Democrats.

This is straight out of the ultranationalist playbook, creating a myth of "real" citizens versus traitors.
8/ Fantastic ongoing thread from @HamptonStall sighting members of the far-right present at today's Stop the Steal rally in DC. https://t.co/vf4uk9cgMG
9/ "The American people do not believe the corrupt fake news anymore.... It's called suppression, and that's what happens in a Communist country. Hunter Biden, they don't talk about him," Trump says.

Notable theme is the constant assault on both the media and democracy itself.
10/ "We love the Proud Boys," a Trump attendee says to Proud Boy livestreamer Eddie Block. "God bless the Proud Boys."

Pay attention to the close relationship between Trump's base and hate groups like the Proud Boys. The mask is off.
11/ For more on that, @IwriteOK documented the growing coalition between far-right hate groups like the Proud Boys and Trump's base for @bellingcat yesterday. https://t.co/ozorlq6HOu
12/ Proud Boys are on the march chanting "Where's antifa? Fuck antifa!"

Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes is there-- despite claiming that he quit the group in 2018-- as is Proud Boys Elder Ethan Nordean, who was fired by his own father from Wally's Chowderhouse for being a PB.
13/ That's Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes in the black baseball hat, classes, and plate carrier.

Beside him is Proud Boys Elder Ethan "Rufio Panman" Nordean.
14/ "We're storming the Capitol!" attendees shout.

Police lines have been reportedly breached, and mace has been deployed, but MAGA ralliers are not inside the building.

At 1:00 p.m., Congress is set to confirm the election results.
15/ A Stop the Steal attendee has been pepper-sprayed and is being ministered to by several members of the crowd, as others livestream.
16/ Meanwhile, an attendee in a skull mask worn by Neo-Nazi accelerationists confers with a police officer.

Completely normal.
17/ Fights are breaking out as attendees try to push past the cops.

There's a not insignificant amount of blood on the ground.
18/ "Move back," shout the police, as riot cops try to push the crowd back from the Capitol Building.
19/ Police are deploying pepper spray and the crowd is pepper-spraying them back.
20/ The air's a little foggy with pepper spray and pepper balls being launched at the crowd.

"You work for us!" the crowd screams at the police.
21/ Police continue to mace the crowd as a chant of "Whose House? Our House!" breaks out, and Stop the Steal ralliers attempt to push forward.

This is what an attempted coup looks like.
22/ Ralliers wrestle with police, who are attempting to hold their barriers in place.

"You're a fucking traitor to your country!" one man shouts at the police.
23/ Police continue to pepper-spray the crowd.

My screenshot wasn't fast enough, but I'm pretty sure I just saw Proud Boy Kenny Lizardo, who accompanied PB leader Enrique Tarrio in court yesterday, near the front of the line.
24/ Capitol grounds are basically covered in tear gas as Stop the Steal ralliers continue to try to push past police.
25/ Right now, the cops continue to push the crowd back, setting off what sounds like flashbangs to disorient the crowd, then hitting them with pepper-spray and periodically moving the barricades forward, making occasional arrests.
26/ Ironically, one Stop the Steal rallier wearing weighted-knuckle fighting gloves is putting his hands up, like he's not specifically dressed to fucking hurt someone.
27/ "What do you think it's gonna do for race relations when they make me pay you reparations?" one Stop the Steal rallier asks a Black cop.

I mean, probably couldn't get any worse than the attempted white nationalist coup currently happening, amirite?
28/ Compared to leftist protests I've been at, the cops are comparatively chill.

They're not smashing people in the head, and no one's kettling the Stop the Steal ralliers. They can just turn around and leave at any point.

Except.... they're not doing that.
29/ Ralliers have broken through the police lines and are occupying the scaffolding outside the Capitol building.
30/ Police appear to be holding the Capitol steps.
31/ "You're a dick, you fucking pussies," this man in the red MAGA hat screams at the cops, which is..... interesting.
32/ Yellow Gadsden flags representative of the militia movement are flying alongside at least one Confederate flag (not pictured).
33/ Reports say that Capitol staff are being evacuated by police.
34/ While GOP members of Congress claim that the election was stolen inside the Capitol building, a crowd of Trump supporters and hate group members are *actually* attempting to steal the election, and have broken past four layers of police security to occupy the Capitol steps.
35/ Stop the Steal ralliers are now at the doors of the Capitol building.
36/ The Senate has been recessed and Pence has been removed from the grounds, as per reports.
37/ Protesters are inside the Capitol building, outside the Senate chambers now. https://t.co/FvcWP2A6kw
38/ Protesters are waving at least one Confederate flag inside the Capitol building.
39/ Something I'd point out is that leftist protesters in Portland faced months of heavy tear gas and being hit with rubber bullets nightly.

The police here are trying to de-escalate with the Stop the Steal ralliers literally inside the Capitol building. https://t.co/Ovc39K0JXO
40/ Capitol police are requesting additional assistance.

Kind of strange they didn’t have that on-hand already? https://t.co/W48rBp4osv
41/ Protesters outside the Capitol building have breached a second door, allowing more of them to enter the building. They now effectively control the Capitol building.

"Take our country back!" some are screaming. "Forward!"
42/ The city of DC has instituted a 6:00 p.m. curfew for tonight.

Meanwhile, @RepMoBrooks is spreading disinformation about antifascists in backwards MAGA hats, when this is clearly a far-right coup, top-to-bottom. https://t.co/qTv472PcA9
43/ Livestreamers are now inside the Capitol Building, documenting the attempted coup.
44/ Reports of live rounds being shot inside the Capitol Building. Masses of Stop the Steal ralliers are just leaving. A cop is even holding the door for them.
45/ Neo-Nazi livestreamer Baked Alaska is inside the Capitol Building.
46/ I'd be remiss if I didn't mention all the liberals who told people to stay away from DC.

This is what happens when antifascists don't confront the far-right-- they're allowed to literally storm the Capitol Building.

The police are not handling it.
47/ The success of this rally is going to be an animating force for the far-right for quite some time, and only antifascists are prepared to handle that.

We know what the fuck we're talking about.

Listen to us next time.
48/ Police are nowhere in sight. People are entering the Capitol again.

"This is our country. We're not going to let the globalists take it," one rallier says.

"Globalists" is a dogwhistle used by Neo-Nazis to refer to Jews, a replacement for "rootless cosmopolitan."
49/ Neo-Nazi livestreamer Baked Alaska has occupied a Senate office. He is now shouting "Fuck globalists!"

2. Dave Drew was involved in a fraud

a civil suit laid out by Monterey attorney Hugo Gerstl (smart man) in 2016 - two years before @JerryBrownGov pardoned Drew.

3. The Bankers Casino boys are involved with narco-trackers and money launderers. They also have ties to organized crime figures.

Please let me know

4/

how you wish to proceed?

Also, @Kelly_McMillin has a troubling connection to all of these issues.

I'm also concerned about reports a @SalinasPD officer has received financial assistance to buy a house on the border with Mexico 🇲🇽 with the help of Rolando Cabrera who is a

member of the Cabrera crime family.

Would you please enlighten the public on this relationship between the Cabrera's and one of Salinas' "finest"?

Thank you for your immediate attention.

Jessica Allen, Eliza Moore and Derbyshire Police - a brief thread

First, what happened? Well, it seems two friends got in separate cars and drove five miles to a reservoir to go for a walk with coffees in their hands. They were stopped by police and fined for (it appears) breaching the restriction on leaving or being outside one’s home...

... without a reasonable excuse set out in part 1 para 1 of the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (All Tiers) (England) Regulations 2020. They did this, it appears, because they saw the distance travelled *for* the exercise - and the fact beverages for consumption...

... had been brought by the walkers, as depriving the women of the defence provided by para. 2(2)(c) of the Regulations. That provision says you can leave or be outside your home if it is “reasonably necessary” to do so “to take exercise outside... alone, with one or more...

... members of their household, their linked household, or... where exercise is being taken as part of providing informal childcare for a child aged 13 or under, one or more members of their linked childcare household, or...
in a public outdoor place, with one other person...

#UnEssentialHypertension

Having been placed on a SECOND blood pressure lowering drug a month ago, and reporting to the cardio some lightheadedness when I get up, and rather than discussing a dose or drug change being told to "stand up more slowly" has me working hard on 1/n

lowering BP and getting completely off the drugs.

First things first, I checked my median BP off drugs at two different weights, and sure enough, the more I weigh, the higher the home BP. At 186lbs, median BP is 144/88, max was 165/98. 2/n

Peaks (especially in the doctors office were labeled hypertensive crisis). At 162lbs, median BP is 124/79, max was 138/86. The question remains how high BP goes in the office (or at Red Cross) when I weigh less. 3/n

Weight goal is around 153, and I'm at 168± now, so primary objective is to reach goal weight and see if I can wean off the meds.

Second, sodium. I may be salt sensitive. I've added more sodium to my diet after reading a bunch on that and learning of some twitter peeps' 4/n

experiences. Ate light yesterday, took some extra salt, and gained nearly two pounds and my rings got tight. Next step is to reduce sodium load and see what happens.

Third, NO. I've been using a UVB light, and before the seasons turned getting decent sunlight. 5/n

NEW: After the violent and mostly White pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol last week, Black & brown people had to clean up the mess. Several told @Politicsinsider they were well aware of the racial dynamics. By @elvina_nawaguna & @KaylaEpstein ($)

The Trump supporters who broke into the Capitol left behind shards of broken glass and ripped-apart furniture, blood, empty bottles, and even feces smeared on the walls.

The custodial staff cleaned up in places where people were bludgeoned & in one instance fatally shot, & where dozens of Capitol Police officers were wounded. "It felt bad. It's degrading," said a custodial employee in his 30s, who works for the Architect of the Capitol.

Several Capitol janitorial and labor employees — all of whom were Black or Latino — told Insider they no longer feel safe at their workplace, which is supposed to be one of the most secure in the country.

They recounted the hurt of cleaning up after white nationalists who could have threatened their lives, and they feared what's yet to come in the days leading to and on Inauguration Day.

Right, screw it. Here's a thread on *that* FBLive by Alex Cairnie about #Govanhill. Lets do a watch-through shall we? (Mind, I'm a resident of Govanhill, and a sociologist. I'm also 5'3, and a visibly queer woman so if half his claims are true I should be living in terror)

00:30: Welcomes viewers and uses points out that his videos are only getting attention b/c they're 'horrific'. Directs folk to his Youtube page. So already clout hunting.

1:08: "I've been warned to stay out of Govanhill. I'm a marked man" (proceeds to use a beanie as a disguise)

1:30 "Laughing and joking aside, here's somebodys front garden." Proceeds to show litter and claim its thrown from windows and this is 'common'. I know a handful of streets with litter issues like this, but its neither common nor unique to #govanhill and other deprived areas.

2:10 "Don't be under any illusion I'm only showing you the bad bits" - only shows you the bad bits.

3:45: He's had offers of help, but hes said no because hes not responsible for 'anybody elses safety' Good lord.

6:00: TW: child abuse - He starts claiming to have been contacted by a health professional and told about child abuse 'in the area'. Huge ethical issues here as the 'professional' who has 'been in the game a long time' is reporting to Facebook Dude and not authorities.

Simple and effective way 2 make Money


Idea 1:- Use pivot level like 14800 in case of nifty and sell 14800straddle monthly expiry (365+335) exit if nifty closes on daily basis below S1 or above R1

After closing below S1 if it closes above S1 next day or any day enter the same position again vice versa for R1

Idea2:- Use R1 and S1 corresponding strikes multiple
Incase of R1 15337 take 15300ce
N in case of S1 14221 use 14200pe
Sell both and hold till expiry or exit if nifty closes below S1 or above R1 around closing
If the same bounces above S1 and falls below R1 re-enfer same strikes

Use same criteria for nifty, usdinr and banknifty

(This is must)Use this margin rule for 1lot banknifty pair keep 4Lax margin
For nifty one lot keep 3Lax
For usdinr 100lots keep 4Lax

I bet you if you do this on consistent basis your ROI will be more than 70% on yearly basis.

Couldn't explain easier than this

THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVI BEEJ / BIJA MANTRA.

Once Suutji in his discourse with King Janmajeya repeated the words of Vyasji regarding the pronounciation of the word ऐ. Vyasji had heard the importance of this word in a meeting of all important saints at Naimisharanya.


There this story was discussed.

In that gathering of such great sages, Rishi Jamdagni asked a question to all the eminent luminaries. He wanted to know which diety is the most revered and gets satisfied easily with our prayers. So Lomash rishi replied that Devi

Bhagwati was one such diety. She will be satisfied and is ready to grant you a boon even if you just say the first letter of her beej mantra. In this context he narrated the story of Satyavrat. The story is as follows.

There lived a Brahmin named Devdutt in Kosal.

He was childless. He arranged for an elaborate yagya for a intelligent son to be born. He invited all the eminent rishi's to conduct this Yagya. Rishi Suhotra, Pael, Brahaspati Yagyavalka were assigned different tasks. Rishi Gobhil was asked to sing the Saamved.

He sang the verses very well, but he had to take respite in order to breathe between two verses. This angered devdutt. He spoke his thoughts to Gobhil rishi.

The rishi got very angry as devdutt did not realise the practicalities of singing. He cursed devdutt that

ANCIENT BHARAT WAS CALLED VISHWAGURU, AND IT REALLY DESERVED IT.

India had a well developed education system centuries before the westerners arrived and called us uncivilized. Education was always given a great importance in Indian civilisation since times immemorial.


Ancient India had the Gurukulas and Ashramas as the epicentres of the knowledge and enlightenment. Bigger Gurukulas served as the centres of higher education called universities. Besides these universities, temples also emerged as the major learning centres.

Studying the Holy Scriptures, character building, personality development, responsibilities towards self,family and society,discipline and preservation of the ancient culture and heritage were the key embodiments of education.

This kind of education system made ancient India, a centre of knowledge all over the world. Many foreign students came to India for education and India was called the 'Vishwaguru'.
Takshshila and Nalanda were the two prominent universities of ancient India.


But were these only Universities of ancient India?The answer is 'No'.Let's learn about these gems of our education system that flourished across ancient India & be proud.

NALANDA UNIVERSITY
This was the oldest university of ancient India.Situated in Nalanda distt. of Bihar...
