Dear Stephen @stephensackur context to some of the questions you put to @MIshaqDar50
You were asking him to go face the courts after he had attended over 90 vindictive hearings

Pakistan judge ‘confesses he was blackmailed to convict Nawaz Sharif’

 of a case that was decided in his favour twice already and time barred. The second time it was thrown out by the High Court. You were asking him to face not double but triple jeopardy intended only to persecute him.
. @stephensackur You do understand that Pakistanis are living in a surreal banana republic, right? The reality of the NAB that imprisons first and questions later is this:
https://t.co/xU50z8QkkI
I’m sure you are familiar with Pakistan’s history: we have had our Prime Ministers and other representatives sent to the gallows, tortured, shot to death, and exiled by the Pakistan Army. The British press & govt should not act as if it doesn’t know. @MIshaqDar50
By acting thus, you strengthen the dictators and dictatorship.
I’m amazed that the whole world knows but the British media is unaware that the case against @MIshaqDar50 is decades old one of ridiculous trumped up charges, that the military brings out of the cobwebbed cupboard, dusts it and starts all over again. Fuck time, fuck triple
jeopardy, fuck evidence, fuck all principles of justice, fuck due process that the British hold dear, but @MIshaqDar50 should submit to persecution because the Pakistani military wants to keep the field clear for its puppet Imran Khan?
. @stephensackur Are you familiar with the number of actual deaths the NAB has caused? Here is just one famous case. Ask @gabeeno

. @stephensackur Does the U.K. deport people to places where they face death for their political conscience? No. Then why is British media asking @MIshaqDar50 to go to Pakistan to face “justice”?
. @stephensackur are you aware of Pakistan’s human rights record? What the military and its puppets get up to with impunity? Here is just one specific piece from the former chair of @HRCP87 on the human rights violations of NAB
https://t.co/0tetIb3MHH NAB v human rights
. @stephensackur I’m sure you are also aware the Pakistani military abducted me - the FCO certainly does. You were asking @MIshaqDar50 to go face a trial the same military is running?

Here is @washingtonpost on how and why people are arrested in Pakistan. This one is about the incarceration of the proprietor of the largest news & media group @stephensackur
This “government” is running cases on everyone who is opposed to hybrid regime.

Take a look at what the @GdnPolitics reported on what the current junta is doing to us. We are living under martial law plus. And the British press is acting as if there is democracy and free conscience in Pakistan and asking people why
https://t.co/xci7unPOCN
they are not going back home. Honestly, I find that shameful. The press here is humiliating people in exile. That is shameful.
I am sorry I had to say all this to @stephensackur but it had to be said. The British press should not ignore political climates of foreign countries.
And as a reminder of how courts work in Pakistan, please read this too @stephensackur

Trump is a Russian asset, a mob money launderer installed by his mob whoremasters to sow chaos and weaken the US & our allies.

EVERY SINGLE THING HE’S DONE since taking office is to achieve those purposes—that and to enrich himself personally.

[THREAD]


1/ His entire family is part of this. Melania is a fucking crook. Ivanka is a fucking crook. Junior and Gums are fucking crooks. They will all die in prison, except for Kushner, who, if he really *did* trade US intel for money, should be executed for espionage.

2/ Why do you think Trump installs uniquely corrupt & awful people to Cabinet positions? Pruitt, Zinke, Betsy, Rex/Pompeo, Wilbur "Melting Nazi Face" Ross. They are not there to serve us. They are not there to drain the swamp. They are there to BURN THE REPUBLIC DOWN.

3/ Trump steals. He takes taxpayer money—your money and mine—and lines his pockets with it. He exploits his office to make himself richer. This is all he cares about. Why are Republican citizens, you “fiscal conservatives,” not more angry about this? Riddle me THAT, #MAGA.

4/ Matt Whitaker, the human dildo and “acting AG,” was illegally installed to throw a monkey wrench in the Mueller investigation. That’s why they won’t release his financials. He’s fucking bought and sold. He’s going to prison for obstruction.

Gather round, Gentle Readers. It is time I tell the story of the worst decision I ever made in an office. Some of you have heard this. Some have not. Whatever you do in your office today, this week, the rest of this year, you can console yourself by recalling this tale.

A long time ago, I was a talent agent. I worked for a woman named Susan Smith, who had her own small boutique agency. She was known for three things:

1. She had fantastic taste in clients. If there is someone you admire, odds are good that at some point, she was their agent,

2. She could negotiate a deal like few who have ever trod the earth. Casting would give her all the money they had budgeted for that part, plus a little more, plus promising to get her dog Barnaby groomed. She was magnificent to watch.

3. She was insane.

I'm sure you're thinking, "Quinn, it's the entertainment industry, they are all insane." Yes, many are. So consider this; if you told someone you worked for Susan, people who worked for insane people would look and you and whisper, "I hear she's insane."

IMPORTANCE OF SATYA NARAYAN KATHA AND ITS ORIGIN.

We all have heard and read the Satyanarayan katha. But none of us dont know the original stories that Shatanand or Sadhu or Kalavati must have heard. Also, as a habit we hear or read this katha


but dont know the proper way it should be conducted.

We find its mention in Skanda puraan(Reva khand) and Bhavishya Puraan(Pratisarg parva).
Both Bhagwatam and Gita call Bhagwan Narayan as Satv or Truth. So Satyanarayan denotes this name as the one which is Truth incarnate.

The story began in Naimisharanya when Vyasji asked Sutji about a way to eliminate all the sorrows and fulfill all the desires and about who is the devta who can grant these at the same time.

So Suutji first prayed to Bhagwan Satyanarayan who is no one else but Vishnu ji.

Then he remembered all his avatars.After that he narrated the story of Narad. Once while visiting Mrityulok, Naradji was pained to see the sufferings of People around. He was deeply moved by these sufferings and wanted to know the means by which we could rid ourselves from these.

So he went to Vishnu ji and after paying his respects stood in front of him. Naradji narrated the purpose of his visit.

So Bhagwan Vishnu said to him that in Satyug and Tretayug, Bhagwan eliminates sorrow in Vishnuswarup. In Dwapar he assumes different forms to help people.

Some ofthe biggest breakouts occur after Volatility Contraction, the analogy is that more a spring is pressed, higher it jumps whenever it gets released.

There is a VCP Scanner on chartink (Not mine). This may also be used to find potential Breakouts.

one of the things i like about Batman is that it's fundamentally about being orphaned, and being an orphan — how this guy stays tethered to the world in his own weird, abstract, extrajudicial way when he feels that his link to it has been violently severed

Batman does this by permanently recapitulating his own trauma: solving crimes for other people, protecting them. But that's actually just the beginning; he also recapitulates his own experience of orphanness by essentially raising several orphans

Dick is an orphan in the traditional sense: dead parents. Batman sees it happen. Jason, less so: missing dad, known mom who eventually dies. Tim, even less so: parents are around a while, and involved, before both dying. Carrie, even less than that: negligent parents.

Steph: evil father, who openly works against her. And then there's Damian, whose parents are both alive and yet both have identities that totally obliterate their role as his parents. He doesn't relate to them as a mother and father; he can't, and neither can they.

In all these different cases, Batman tries all these different ways of making orphanness for them not what it was for him: Either by trying to teach them the (arguably poor) coping skills early that he learned over a very long time, or by literally legally adopting them, etc.
