THREAD (WOW!)

1) If you want to watch a Coordinated Media Disinformation Campaign play out (just like the Trump-Russia Collision Hoax), there's one playing out right now in real

 2) @TWPundit Exclusively Reported 10/13

"expect to see multiple...stories related to Turkey which will...be tied together by a massive “bombshell” piece in the @nytimes ...near election day in a well-coordinated smear campaign"
Yep, the piece just dropped
https://t.co/ncqK9IrwEv
3) The Turkey Disinformation Campaign is following the exact same playbook as the 2016 Trump-Russia Collision Hoax, and with all the same players
https://t.co/W4qEDSHFAZ
4) In 2016, there were 3 separate stories related to Russia’s connection to @realDonaldTrump that dropped on Oct 31st.

Article #1 from Soros-funded @MotherJones by @DavidCornDC about @carterwpage alleging he was a secret Russian operative. Fake news!

https://t.co/7T9G1p4lzW
5) Article #2 from @FinancialTimes about @SergeiMillian and his connection to Trump Tower projects

https://t.co/OipMuPB8gh
6) Article #3 from @Slate by @franklinfoer about Alfa Bank and how the Trump Campaign was secretly communicating with the Russians through a secret server in Trump Tower ( more fake news)
https://t.co/BgdQEnp1Og
7) @nytimes coordinating w/ the others, + FBI, & FusionGPS, was supposed to tie it all together. Instead published this article stating investigation was dropped because the FBI found no links to Russia.

FBI panicked at the last moment & attempted to bail https://t.co/6tOtP3wPfU
8) I'll get in more debunking the of the
@nytimes articles, but I wanted to note that you can't even get out of the 1st full paragraph without realizing how laughably stupid it is
9) Turkey is a major geopolitical adversary & is currently fighting 3 proxy wars against Iran: Syria, Yemen, & Azerbaijan. Why would they be funneling billions of $$$ to them? It's moronic. So we can establish it's a smear piece, not a serious article https://t.co/UEgLbURJR8
10) The
@nytimes
article was designed to drop on the same day as articles in other publications. For example, this Vox Media-owned
@NYMag
article which references the
@nytimes
article. An obvious sign of coordination. https://t.co/tX2ZSO66qH
11) Go grab the URL of the
@NYMag
article and do a Twitter search and look at the Blue Checkmark Brigade that is pushing the article out in line step
https://t.co/MfMRze2ASE
12) Of course you've got writers for
@Slate
jumping in to help push out the story, too. https://t.co/DVE55mdVBJ
13)
@Slate
by the way, ran their own hit piece on Turkey the day before, helping to lay the groundwork for the disinformation campaign. They're not about to sit this hoax out! https://t.co/9aly1WSUvi
14) Vox reporter and committed Russia Collusion hoaxster
@atrupar
Also got into the game with an attempted "quid pro quo" redirect https://t.co/pH62FUSGuk
15) Because when you when you've been pushing a conspiracy theory this stupid for this long, you're kinda pot committed
https://t.co/c7IGI8zi3K
16) Of course we can't overlook the author of the
@NYMag
article himself,
@jonathanchait https://t.co/p4lIMPCgMT
17)
@jonathanchait
was vital in planting the seeds of the original Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax. Chait wrote one of the earliest FusionGPS-planted stories in Apr 2016 claiming Putin had somehow compromised Trump.
https://t.co/j2yMcv6C30
18) Chait was also the "useful idiot" for FusionGPS who planted the "Trump changed the RNC platform on Ukraine to help Putin" narrative.

These stories were cited in other stories later on and used by the FBI to obtain FISA warrants on the Trump Campaign. https://t.co/AYNbxxIRvK
19) The same pattern has been playing out for a while in 2020, this time in relation to Turkey

@TWPundit first discovered a disinformation campaign was underway to illicitly connect Trump to Turkey when articles like this began dropping earlier this year https://t.co/BKqS9wJzGi
20) The Soros-funded
@OCCRP was the same media outfit cited in the fake Ukraine "whistleblower" complaint used by @AdamSchiff to kick off his Ukraine Impeachment hoax.
The Sep 2020 @OCCRP
article still reports the Ukraine accusations as established fact
https://t.co/vHBTjOckCK
21)
@BuzzFeed
( who infamously released the Steele Dossier) then got in on the act along with
@ICIJorg
... another collection of Soros-funded stooges (there's that name again 🤨) https://t.co/oeKFa6BUWt
22)
@BuzzFeed
gaslit their followers into thinking they'd really found something. But as
@TWPundit
reported, it was just recycled, made up dirt. Fake new.

Classic #RussiaGate pattern of circular reasoning … plant the story and then cite the story. https://t.co/8EdnnCbSus
23) It wasn't just Soros-funded alphabet soup orgs and rags like @Buzzfeed
@NBCNews did their part to help lay the groundwork for the @nytimes (sadly transparent and predictable) smear piece yesterday. https://t.co/jlIFJBBcvU
24) This article too was transparently absurd because it made reference to possible violations of the "Emoluments Clause" of the US Constitution ... which would fall in the same category as the Logan Act

Even @NBCNews recognized the stupidity of the charge and quickly retracted
25) The 9/27 @nytimes article on Trump's illegally leaked tax return was itself part of the setup. There were numerous accusations related to Turkey in the original article which are again referenced in the article from yesterday. https://t.co/7bsEnoG5hu. Stay tuned for more...

As usual is maddening how easy this is to understand and how much everyone refuses to understand it. There are two things happening here, and they aren't super hard to understand. There's the asshole administration and the asshole reporter.

The court said asshole administration revoked asshole Jim Acosta's press pass without due process. WH deemed him press, gave him a press pass, then they kicked him out without even being able to say who made the decision or on what grounds.

We want hostile, combative reporters. We **want** that. **You** want that. We want that because the press secretary of every single administration is a liar. Even the ones you like. Lying is their job. They show up to avoid answering, but give the appearance of being answerable.

It shouldn't be easy for government to just refuse to be answerable. It should be hard to dodge. Hard to kick people out. Hard to control the narrative. That shouldn't be easy for the gov't. Not even your most favoritest president.

You, the American citizen, want the truth. Reporters should be there to get it. That means asking questions doggedly, demanding answers. This is not an obscure idea. It should be obvious to anyone who's experienced having a president you didn't vote for. Super rare right?

NEW - on @skynews shortly:
Reliable source tells me Withdrawal Deal text contains

- No unilateral exit from backstop

- Large annexe on level playing field

.... after reporting this on @SkyNews I get a call from a different senior source that this is “spot on” and further that the Attorney General Geoffrey Cox has not pulled his punches in confirming in legal advice there is “no unilateral exit” from backstop ...

... furthermore I’m told (and this chimes with excellent Times splash this morning re Weyand) that the future partnership then takes its starting point as the activated backstop - ie UK-wide customs union-style arrangement and level playing field.

Understand that a ministerial briefing on the draft Withdrawal Agreement meant to drum up support from some trade organisations due tonight has now been postponed

In regards to the #CapitolCoup, I’m in a unique position. I monitored forums ahead of time and then was present for the coup itself.

These are my observations based on what I saw and the evidence that’s been collected so far. I reserve the right to adjust my analysis as needed.

Let’s talk about the organization of the coup first. Seeing some people insist that the coup must have been highly planned and coordinated.

Yes and no. This was a #StochasticCoup. We’ll see little evidence of direct communication between Trump and the insurrectionists.

Within the insurrectionists, there was not one group that executed the storming of the Capitol.

Rather, there were a number of smaller groups working independently towards the same goal. I expect you’ll see little evidence that these various groups communicated with each other.

What you will see is detailed planning and coordination within these small groups.

Then there were the joyriders, those Trump supporters who weren’t directly involved in any plotting but who were more than happy to go along for the ride once the coup was in motion.

After four years, the insurrectionists were carefully attuned to Trump’s messaging.

Every tweet and statement of his was treated as marching orders and carefully dissected for meaning.

It’s why shutting down Trump’s Twitter account was so important.

Watching the Congress hearing on Gamestop/Robinhood/Reddit. I'll let people know if there's anything super interesting.

Right now, it seems like both Democrats and Republicans are sympathetic with average Americans rather than the companies. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

I kind of like Rep. Patrick McHenry's (R) take. Basically, he says it's dumb that it's easier to buy a lottery ticket than to invest.

Now, Congressional hearings in committees are often more about figuring out problems than attacking each other; I fully expect both Democrats and Republicans to have good insight here.

Rep. Al Green says that fines -have- to outweigh the benefits from breaking the law. I completely agree.

Shri Hanuman had boon to be immortal. And be present where ever there is Ram stuti.
I came across this beautiful story that I would like to share
#threadstories
#Hanuman ji is believed to live in the foothills of Himalayas. But once he spent a lot of time in Sri Lanka
1/9


Where Ravan's brother ruled for many years..
On his way back he came across tribal people from community called #Mathanga
He gave Darshan to them. The chief of the tribe asked him to keep coming back to guide their generations
Hanuman ji said that whoever recites this mantra
2/9


I will give them Darshan. But there are two conditions
1st he/she must know his relationship with me
2nd there must not be anyone around him in 950 mts radius. If present, that person must also know about my relationship with him /her.

He promised to come after every 41 yrs
3/9

The Mathangs also maintain a ‘logbook’ where they record all the words spoken and ‘leelas’ performed by Lord Hanuman.
They call him their Guru
Who teaches them how to live their lives.
A Sri Lankan organization called Setuu is studying this ‘logbook’ and also conduct
4/9

programmes for Hanuman devotees who can do ‘Sadhna‘ under the guidance of Setuu masters. Devotees who qualify all the criteria will be eligible for Hanuman’s ‘sakshaat darshan‘
The Setuu has certain conditions that need to be kept in mind which includes devoting one complete

THE LESSER KNOWN MAHARANA OF MEWAR:RANA KUMBHA
Kumbalgarh Fort is one of most spectacular sites of India,atop a hill abt 3600ft above sea lvl in the https://t.co/LkjmzzBhE2's second largest wall is surrounding it.A fort wall second only to Great wall of China,still not so famous.


This longest wall of India stretches to almost 36Km and encompasses a few hills, many step wells and over 360 temples and palaces. Birth place of the Great Maharana Pratap, this fort is named after another Great Maharana of Mewar, who is not given his due in the History.


Builder of many architectural marvels like the Kumbhalgarh Fort, an erudite scholar, a patron of arts, music, culture & a great warrior was the Great Maharana Kumbha. Yet we don't know much about him. Let's get to know him a little.


Maharana Kumbha was the undefeated King of Mewar from 1433-1468CE.He never lost any battles &kept Mewar out of the reach of Islamic Invaders till the time he was alive. Born on Makar Sakranti to Maharana Mokal & Saubhagya Devi, Rana Kumbha was only 13 when he ascended the throne.


His father was killed by his own relatives in a political conspiracy. He was a powerful King about 8ft tall &charismatic personality,a hardcore Hindu Rajput who could shed his life for Hindu honour without thinking twice.He was an ardent skillful warrior who never lost a battle.

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.


This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/
