Long thread: Because I couldn’t find anything comprehensive, I’m just going to post everything I’ve seen in the news/Twitter about Trump’s activities related to the Jan 6th insurrection. I think the timing & context of his actions/inactions will matter a lot for a senate trial.

 12/12: The earlier DC protest over the electoral college vote during clearly inspired Jan 6th. On Dec 12th, he tweeted: “Wow! Thousands of people forming in Washington (D.C.) for Stop the Steal. Didn’t know about this, but I’ll be seeing them! #MAGA.” https://t.co/GiiCoFXdhl
12/19: Trump announces the Jan. 6th event by tweeting, “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” Immediately, insurrectionists begin to discuss the “Wild Protest.” Just 2 days later, this UK political analyst predicts the violence https://t.co/pZDJl70eT6
12/26-27: Trump announces his participation on Twitter. On Dec. 29, the FBI sends out a nationwide bulletin warning legislatures about attacks https://t.co/Lgl4yk5aO1
1/1: Trump tweets the time of his protest. Then he retweets “The calvary is coming” on Jan. 6!” Sounds like a war? About this time, the FBI begins visiting right wing extremists to tell them not to go--does the FBI tell the president? https://t.co/3OxnB2AHdr
The violent imagery used throughout the promotion of this event needs a whole separate thread.
1/2: Trump called GA Gov. Kemp to pressure him to “find” votes for him to win. The same day, theDonald site users are openly calling for civil war on Jan 6th. Here’s the post that prompted an FBI intelligence report in VA a few days later. https://t.co/wLn59XMezR
1/5: Trump sends a series of tweets promoting the rally the next day and touting “thousands of people pouring into D.C.” as a way to dissuade “weak Republicans” from accepting the results of the election.
1/5: Trump tweets at various law enforcement, intelligence, and military agencies that he supposedly oversees about the threat from “Antifa.” At the same time, a VA FBI Office warns of a “war” at the Capitol from the far right starting the next day. https://t.co/RWQ9B2r6MX
1/6, 1:00am: Trump stays up until well after midnight tweeting that Pence can overturn the election the next day.
1/6, 8:06am: Trump is awake again and hate-watching MSNBC
1/6, 8:17: Trump continues to pressure Pence to overturn the election via Twitter:
1/6, 11:54am: Trump and Trump Jr and family are waiting for Trump to take the stage to address about 8,000 insurrectionists, pre-insurrection, at the Ellipse outside the White House https://t.co/4tAhZeoqQT
Question that I haven’t found reporting on: How much did Trump & his team know about the threats when he went ahead with his participation? Were concerns ignored or never raised? The FBI is telling extremists not to come, but not warning the president not to call for them?
1/6, 12:00-12:17pm: Trump begins his speech. At 12:17, he says that he will march with the rioters to the Capitol to demand the election be overturned. https://t.co/cUohC9JgRb
Trump/the White House apparently did not tell anyone at least in federal law enforcement that he was going to order a march to the Capitol following the speech. Was this intentional? https://t.co/QIm1sdmAz3
1/6, 12:18: Immediately after ordering the march to the capitol, Trump says you can never take back the country with weakness. https://t.co/Da2aVbHstu
1/6, 12:54pm: Trump is still reciting his normal lies about the election to the rest of the protesters a mile away as some protesters who left when Trump first said to walk arrive at the Capitol & immediately attack the Capitol police https://t.co/kk7sTvH4Ly
1/6, 1:11pm: Trump ends the speech by telling his supporters to join those who are now already inside the barricades around the Capitol fighting with the police https://t.co/H4UBETd1rp
1/6, 1:19pm: Trump returns in his motorcade to the White House. A key moment: He promised the crowd he would go to the Capitol. Was that really an open plan? Did he lie? Or did he hear about the ongoing rioting & decide against it after the speech? https://t.co/BFbtaP7EmP
According to the AP, Trump attending the riot was “discussed” by “the White House” but “abandoned” but who was involved and did this happened before or after the speech? Maybe other reporting has clarified this? https://t.co/jGn7PVYnYS
1/6, ~1:25: Back in the White House, Trump turns on the TV to watch the riots
https://t.co/1nW346QhRt
At that point, the insurrectionists look like they are still believing that Trump might be with them! https://t.co/BrFurVwebV
1/6, 1:49: Trump is tweeting a video of his speech starting the riot, which includes all the false justifications for the attack! About this time (or earlier), the Capitol Police makes the request for immediate assistance from the D.C. National Guard.
1/6, ~2:13: Congress suspends action, and Trump is apparently “enthusiastic” that the riot might stop the vote, exactly what he wanted! https://t.co/WSogQSHnQy
1/6, ~2:15: Trump calls Sen. Lee looking for Sen. Tuberville to sure up votes to overturn the election. Presumably, Sen. Lee thought Trump wanted to discuss how to stop the attack on the Capitol, not how to aid it https://t.co/dGxXlvoj6s
1/6, ~2:20: After rioters break into the capitol, Trump is watching TV, “enjoying the spectacle”
https://t.co/CNpBC9aetG
1/6, ~2:20: As chaos overtakes the Capitol, aides are telling senators that Trump is walking around the White House “delighted” with the situation and is “confused” why everyone else isn’t on board with the insurrection https://t.co/eqSdGylNqX
1/6, 2:24: Trump tweets an unhinged condemnation of VP Pence--even as the insurrectionists are just a few feet away from getting to him. His tweet provokes a scramble to find him by the insurrectionists inside the Capitol
https://t.co/BE5n0k0XlW https://t.co/LQMGPHWhEb
1/6, 2:38: After the insurrectionists seize control, Trump aides finally convince him to tweet about it, but only to say “stay” peaceful (as if they already were) and refuses to tell them to leave the Capitol--he didn’t even want to say “stay peaceful” https://t.co/CNpBC9aetG
1/6, ~2:45: Trump resists requests to act on the request to bring up the National Guard. Ultimately, VP Pence does so even without the legal authority to do so! https://t.co/4QJrxzYGXC https://t.co/K4ozkjimOK
1/6, ~2:55: Trump talks to GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on the phone. McCarthy yells at Trump for refusing to take action. This conversation where Trump showed contempt for his life probably led McCarthy to blame Trump for the riot. https://t.co/a5E6HbXxwS
1/6, ~3:00: Trump is conferring with the world’s worst group of “advisors” about the situation. We know that this same group thought the entire situation was overblown by the media even the next day after everything! https://t.co/4QJrxzYGXC https://t.co/tgehnEVhZD
1/6, 3:13: Trump tweets to ask everyone “at the U.S. Capitol” (not inside attacking it) to “remain peaceful” (again, as if they were). Not to tell them to leave the capitol and stop attacking it! Rep Gallegher tweets a vid hiding in his office urging the president to call it off
1/6, ~3:45-4:17: Trump goes outside of the White House to film three takes of a video telling the “very special” insurrectionists to go home, while noting that he “loves” them. What's in the other takes? He goes inside and tweets the video at 4:17 https://t.co/CNpBC9aetG
1/6, 6:01pm: After the Capitol is secured, Trump tweets what amounts to his thanks to the insurrectionists telling them to go home and “remember this day,” revealing publicly for the first time that he believed their actions were worth remembrance.
1/6, 7pm: Giuliani calls Sen. Lee leaving a message intended for Sen. Tuberville about trying to prevent Congress from voting. Basically the same as Trump’s phone call earlier in the day. There’s reason to believe that Trump was behind this effort as well https://t.co/8D7CkvPkUv
1/7, 7:10pm: It was not until Thursday night that Trump posted a video conceding the election and that a new administration will take office. Yet he immediately regretted doing so. https://t.co/CNpBC9aetG
Questions: what did Trump know about extremists attending his speech? When/why did Trump decide against going to the Capitol? Who else was Trump calling during the riot? What're in the other takes of the video? Will anyone testify? Will Pence?
https://t.co/GCqGOdt8nh
There were also a huge number of phone calls going out to Trump, his aides & family. I didn't list them all, but having a full account of how Trump ignored all his "friends" during the crisis would be important as well.
Did Trump know his supporters saw him as backing their move? Even if he never saw analysis like this one below (because he distrusts and refuses to take meetings with his intel services), doesn't that failure only further support the case against him? https://t.co/uYOSaw2Aw4

Ok. I began this journey because of Pizz'gat3, deehate cabal, Trump etc. Now it has led to RH- bloodtypes, (of which I am one). This is another rabbit hole, and suddenly close to home. Joining the dots of info I have read so far, other RH- stories and my own history (pt1)

-putting aside all of the theories of Nephilim, reptilians, aliens, etc. I think I was an experiment as a child. I was adopted by a military person and had an extremely traumatic and abusive upbringing. Watching trans videos has made me remember how I was forced to dress (pt2)

in boy clothes as a child. My hair was always cut off short. My sister wore all of the pink clothes, long hair & ribbons. I had the blue, the dungarees, the shit hacked off hair cut, and was given marbles, train sets, and racing cars to play with. I was effectively a tomboy (pt3)

This remained with me through to this day. I am still largely interested in male activities. But I did get ridiculously into pink and all girly things, to the point of now being awake and realising it is childish and mkultra programming. I was sexually and physically abused (pt4)

I also wonder, as I have medical issues and was given meds my whole life and only ever visited military hospitals & medical healthcare in my childhood, what meds was I given? I do have an extremely strong physique for a female. It is often commented on how unnatural it is (pt 5)

2022 is shaping up to be a bloodbath. The Trump census cooked the numbers to advantage Republicans, and GOP statehouses are poised to redistrict in ways that will hand potentially permanent minority rule to the GOP in Congress.

1/


There's a potential way out: #HR1, an omnibus bill of electoral reforms that would create durable, structural protections for voting rights and a level playing field for campaigning.

2/

To get a sense of how urgent the looming crisis is - and of how important HR1 is - listen to @ryangrim interviewing @schwarz and Rep @JohnSarbanes [D-MD] on this week's

In theory, HR1 could be blasted through - Dems control the Senate, Congress, and the White House, and the future of the party depends on it, but I'm far from confident that they'll find the discipline and political will to make it happen.

4/

The Democrats keep squandering their majorities and wasting opportunities to make real change - changes that are must-haves, not nice-to-haves; changes needed to head off existential threats to the nation itself.

The Haas / Force India argument is fascinating, and the decision of the stewards may still have consequences. The first key finding is that the stewards ruled Racing Point Force India to be a valid constructor. That means that it builds its own cars.

Haas had argued that the cars had been designed by Force India, but as Haas knows only too well, "outsourcing" is legal. The stewards decided that "there is no regulatory support for the argument that Outsourcing of Listed Parts cannot come from a former or excluded team."

In determining this, the stewards also came to the following conclusion: "In relation to the submission by the Racing Point Force India F1 Team that it is not a new team, the Stewards decide that the Racing Point Force India F1 Team is indeed a new team."

This will have a big knock on effect for Haas in its continued arguments over the rights of RPFI as relates to its eligibility and rights under the complex payments structure. Haas has argued all along that RPFI should be treated as a new team and tread the same path that it did.

TLDR? Haas lost the fight but may have won the war. In having its argument that Racing Point hadn't designed their own car thrown out, they gained clarification that RPFI was a new team.

RISHI BHRINGI AND ARDHA-NAREESHWAR SHIVA

Rishi Bhringi was a devoted bhakt of Mahadev. However, in his devotion to Shiva, he ignored Mata Parvati.

Once, he visited Kailasha along with other Rishis. All the Rishis did parikrama of Shiva and Parvati both except Rishi Bhringi.


The same situation continued whenever Rishi Bhringi visited Kailasha. Mata Parvati decided to teach him that Shiva and Parvati are one and inseparable.
So on one such visit, Mata Parvati sat on the left lap of Mahadev when Rishi Bhringi came.


Seeing this, Rishi Bhringi took the form of a bee(some say bird) and did pradakshina/ parikrama only around Shiva’s head and ignored Ma Parvati.
Angered Mata took away the Shakti from his body. Rishi lost his blood and flesh and was left with a bare skeletal form.


Seeing him in such a situation where he was unable to support himself, Shiva granted a third leg to him.
Shiva then fused one half of his body with that of Ma Parvati and appeared as Ardha Nareeshwar.
Rishi Bhringi finally realised that Shiv and Shakti are one and the same.

Have you ever wondered why the sons and daughters of the colonial chiefs and guards who were collaborators live a good life while those of the MAU MAU fighters live in abject poverty?

***THREAD***


It should be known that the colonialists reached a point that they knew they had 2 leave Kenya since they couldn't handle the Mau Mau war & the world was moving toward accepting independent Africa.However,the colonialists devised an evil scheme that still eats Kenya upto this day

Under this scheme, the colonial state came up with a plan that saw the first crop of chiefly “big men” being empowered financially to take their children to schools and eventually have those children go to England for further studies...

...and eventually providing a ready-made socio-economic & political class whom state power could be entrusted in the post-colonial era.This explains why their children & grandchildren still hold majority of important positions in govt or in the private sector supported by state.

This also explains why children and grandchildren of these homeguards are always given preferential treatment when it comes to government appointments. Wewe na masomo yako you are always asking why you can never get a job in government...yet you're qualified..now you know.

WEAPONS OF MAHADEV

Sarvaripati Shiva is one of the most fearsome manifestations of Mahadev. Assigned with destroying all of the universes at the end of time, Shiva is one of the most fearsome warriors. He is the Mrityunjaya.
Here are some weapons associated with him:


TRISHULA: the 3 pointed blades denote creation, maintenance, and destruction or the 3 Kalas – Past, Present and Future. They also represent 3 Gunas – Sattva, Rajas and Tamas).
Shiva’s trishul can only be stopped by Shiva himself.
@onlyonenetra @DetheEsha


Trishul is also said to represent Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna. These are the three basic nadis – the left, the right and the central – in the pranamaya kosha, or the energy body of the human system.
@iamkamyabuch @unever_followme


PARASHU: axe with 4 cutting edges which Shiva gave to Parashurama. In his anger, Parashurama used the parashu to get rid of the all the Earth’s tyrannical kshatriya caste twenty-one times over.
@harshasherni


CHANDRAHASA SWORD: The divine sword Chandrahasa literally means ‘the laughter of the moon’. Ravana gave this sword to Indrajit on different occasions especially to fight against Devas.
GIRISH: A special sword of Shiva with unique characteristics.

Story 21 - it is about how stone elephant came to life and ate sugarcane - When Raja Abhisheka Pandyan met Ellam Valla Siddhar

கல்யானைக்கு கரும்பருத்திய படலம்


Raja Abhisheka Pandiyan went ahead to meet Ellam Valla Siddhar on the premises of the temple.On seeing the arrival of Raja, people surrounding Siddhar moved back. Abhisheka Pandiyan introduced himself to Siddhar &asked about his whereabouts.Also his purpose of visit to Madurai.

Raja asked why he performed magical acts, does he expect anything from him or people of Madurai.

Siddhar laughed & replied to Raja that he was from Kasi. He had heard a lot about Madurai in Kashi.Also told that this place is a Mukti Kshetram,so he had come to stay here.

Siddhar asked Raja if he has the capability &power to give anything that he asks for. Siddhar told King that he has power to do things even if he think of it.Siddhar asked King to ask whatever he wants & it would be provided, whatever these people had asked, they were granted.


Abhisheka Pandyan was shocked to receive such a reply from Siddhar,& he decided to test the power of this Siddhar. By that time, Raja saw a person in crowd having Sugarcane.

Raja took Sugarcane from that person.
