So I finally read through this (a bit hard to read Roman Urdu especially if winds of chaos are running wild in your mind , and tears are forming)... and well, hot tears drop. Some yesrs ago someone took me close to some caged lions in Bahria Town and I refused to even look.

It's been 8 years that I have been in the throes of what can be called psychosis, which started suddenly shortly after a much-awaited trip to #Konya maqaam-e-Rumi. All the pain & fears I'd been holding within that primarily centered on the loss of Nature & innocence, boiled over.
As it hit in a shockwave, I REFUSED to look at such things as caged animals, fallen trees, and horrible cement buildings. Refused to come out of my house and finally had to be transported to mountains where I still live. But seeing "development" encroach here too, I have finally
taken the wound on the heart and given myself the courage to live horribly in a world that is becoming a veritable hell. It's been now a week that I am waking up telling myself: "I will possibly die, and that's OK. Bear witness."
I am under terroristic assault by aggressive madmen and nadwomen of this broken civilization who are practically after my life for having sought peace... but also, for meeting tragedy on my way. (I went to live in mountains, was assaulted there, his friends now give me threats.)
The beat of their terror assault is: "Who is this woman who is rejecting everything? Why can't she live *normally*?" (A Lahore-based socialista, @MahrukhBeg, is supplying personal stolen info to male assaulters in the hopes of doing me damage.)
They have figured out that there is something that I'm in mortal fear of, they are using this fear to abuse me on behalf of the criminal. Yup, @MahrukhBeg is supporting the rapist via French terrorist @BernardGrua.

And they are acting as if I am in fear of some past crime. LOL.
Yup I am afraid and I am in hiding. But I am afraid, very rightly, of a total collapse of Nature and working civilization. (I want our current civilization to be replacdd by a more naturalist one. Arrest me for it!?) Now I see this Lament of the Lion and my heart is ripped. Again
It's not easy being a human in this world.

(TLDR: Eco-depression drove me to mountain regions in North Pakistan where I ended up getting molested by an arch-rapist. His friends/allies now abuse me and try to figure out my "weakness" in their attempt to paint me as a baddie. 1/
2/ WHEN they go on a search of some dark material to paint me black with, they find stuff that confounds them and addles their self-centered mind. In their attempt to paint me as a bad girl (@mahrukhbeg) or as a Taliban (@bernardgrua), all they find is a person in dark eco-grief.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
It doesn't happen because you want it to happen.

It doesn't happen because you made it happen.

It happens because you allow it to happen.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
