🛑In #Russia, past 24 hrs. Thread: #Putin's terror. Arrests, beatings, tortures, court hearings, & sentences w/o the accused & defenders, raids, intimidation. The court turns down the appeal for #Navalny. Navalny says, "We will not be intimidated." Unprecedented. Please RT. 👇🏽 🛑

 Today, the court in the Moscow region recognized the detention of #AlexeyNavalny for 30 days as legal. Earlier, the court sentenced Navalny to 30 days stay in prison. https://t.co/ThV43owPFY
Journalists were not allowed into the courtroom but could watch the broadcast on the screen in the conference room. Navalny found out his apartment was searched, his brother was arrested for violation of COVID sanitation rules, the sound was turned off. https://t.co/V6iUICg1rh
Navalny's defense intends to appeal the court decision. "The law is on our side. Nobody had any particular hopes for changing the preventive measure ”
#Navalny's last word (translated from part of the video below): "I would like to express my support to all people who are arrested, subjected to other repressions, searches, persecutions, just for being honest and not being afraid... https://t.co/P9KpVFYNw1
#Navalny: "I want to express my support to all those who took to the streets, because they are, in fact, the only and last obstacle on the way to a complete degradation in which our country is slipping, the last obstacle in the way of those in power to finally steal everything...
#Navalny" "They are the defenders of our country and the patriots of our country. All these Khimki, Simonov, Basmanny, and other courts, police departments, and prosecutors' offices just demonstrate lawlessness to incite fear. Let me repeat, you can't intimidate us...
#Navalny: "We are the majority. Those tens of millions of people who have been robbed by this government cannot be intimidated, despite the fact that, of course, the people under arrest are suffering...
#Navalny: "But I am glad that more and more people understand now that the law is on our side and that the truth is on our side, and we will not allow a bunch of evil people to impose their orders in our country." #navalnyprotests thread https://t.co/P9KpVFYNw1
Meanwhile, all over the country, arrests, raids continued. In St. Petersburg, a series of raids took place, several arrested for taking part in protest, including a father of 7. Police breaks into apartment at 6 am, with machine-guns, in balaklavas https://t.co/1KOqSgYsvT

In Moscow, a lawyer, arrested in a courtroom where he defended the rights of a patient, by balaclava-clad police/force enforcement https://t.co/kkNXjnpJvw
Horrifying, even for Putin's Russia: In Nizhny Novgorod, police searches an apartment of an accredited journalist Margarita Murakhtaeva whose mother Irina Savina burned herself protesting an apartment raid, in Oct 2020. Husband/father opens the door. https://t.co/w7uy3d0RBO
Also in Nizhny Novgorod, Navalny's coordinator disappears, later located at a police station; later police denies his arrest. He is still missing. https://t.co/1pLU8DHm6F
In Khabarovsk, a priest and two journalists are arrested https://t.co/OFw0lln9qW
In Pyatigorsk, a single mother of a 5y.o. was arrested, witnessed brutal beatings of arrested male protestors, was fired from her job, her college, and evicted and fined ($100)--her monthly salary used to be $100/month, too. https://t.co/oJvdEfRyCd
In Orel, a man is fined for $263 for a social media post with a call to join protest. https://t.co/8rs46dELkD
In Ulan-Ude, a blogger was arrested and sentenced to 25 days in prison for covering the protests. The trial was held without the accused and the defender. https://t.co/pLpX679GJD
In Moscow, a TicToc blogger was arrested, beaten up and starved for two days. Ten other bloggers were detained at the same time. https://t.co/H92HIHXAQY
Rostov-na-Donu, Tver, Syktyvkar, young, old, women, men, children, the list goes on and on, & I'm unable to collect and translate it all. I will continue monitoring and covering. Pls RT so the world knows about the crimes of #Putin's regime. #Navalny #navalnyprotests #Russia 🧵☝
Also, watch #Navalny's video about #PutinsPalace before it goes off the air. They are trying to take it down. It got almost 100 million views by now. English subtitles, just click CC in the right bottom corner. Russia will be free! https://t.co/KQbkRw6Cux

1/10 With respect, multiple straw men here:
A) If you mean by "legally questionable" either that Senate is barred by constitution from trying an official impeached while in office, or that there are even very strong arguments against it, I have to differ...


2/10 Constitutional structure, precedent & any fair reading of original intent dictate that argument for jurisdiction is far stronger than argument against. On original intent, see

3/10 If you mean argument against jurisdiction is plausible, sure, it's plausible. It's just weak. In practical fact, Senate can try Trump now, find him guilty & disqualify him from future office if there are sufficient votes. And no court would presume to overturn that result

4/10 b) The argument from resources is awfully hard to take seriously. Fewer than a dozen House members act as Managers for a few weeks. They are staffed, as are Senators hearing case, by folks whose job it is to do stuff like this...

5/10 Yes, Senate floor time will be taken up. But it's past time for us to stop thinking of members of either house as feeble, fluttering, occupants of a nationally-funded convalescent home. There are nearly 500 of these people with 1000s of staff and a bunch of big buildings...

THREAD.

In analysing the Afghan political spectrum something becomes obvious: Kabul's base is far more diverse than the Taliban's. For simplicity's sake, I'll count stronger opposition toward the Taliban than Kabul as 'pro Kabul'.

Let's assess these generally. Exceptions apply.

A diverse base isn't necessarily, however, a good thing. Appealing to everyone ensures you appeal to no one, or that your support base is so fractured that it actually becomes a liability. Think of Clinton losing the Democrat majority in Congress being a blessing in disguise.

Some pro-Kabul groupings:

1) ethnonationalists of all ethnicities. Whilst the non-Pashtuns amongst them aren't pro-Ghani, they're pro-Kabul as an institution; they see it as far more representative and amenable to their interests than the Taliban.

Some Pashtun nationalists do support the Taliban (majority Pashtun) but these are a minority. The biggest blemishes on the Taliban's Pashtun credentials:

a) The Taliban/Pakistan relationship
b) their overt Islam, which many Pashtun nationalists are hostile toward.

2) The enlightened 'roshan-fikr' demographic

Liberals/seculars. Not much intro needed: progress, freedom, spectacular gains of the last 19 years, women's rights et cetera. You generally notice quite an anti-Islam, wholesale adoption of War on Terror rhetoric in their rationale.

New World Order vision revealed by Denmark Paliament Member

[THREAD] #NWO #Agenda2030 #BuildBackBetter #TheGreatReset #TheFourthIndustrialRevolution #WEF

Ida Auken, Denmark's Parliament member and World Economic Fund member reveals a dystopian Orwellian future where your brain


(1) is monitored at all times and hooked into the 'Cloud'.

Where small groups of people 'who got upset with the political system', rebelled against it, and live outside of it.

This was posted on the World Economic Fund website but I think has since been taken down.

(2) It is entitled - 'Welcome To 2030:

I Own Nothing.

Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better' -


(3) Conspiracy theorists and tinfoil hat wearers rejoice.

You have been right all along.

Well maybe not a time for rejoicing..

Economist George Gammon gives a good summary of this in this video in the first 10 minutes.

Ida's statements begin at around 3m 12sec:

A few thoughts on this sad development 👇👇

20 academics criticizing an paper is fine; good science, really

10000+ hate mail for studying schools in Sweden is insane

Anonymous docs/ prof (hiding in faceless accts) on twitter smearing researchers is insane
[thread] https://t.co/QYldLD3WO0


In April 2020, @jflier and I saw this coming

We saw increasingly heated and personal attacks against scientists merely for having a range of views on COVID19 (PS there is no playbook/ right ans)

Tying science to naked politics was also bad idea, we

Yet, repeatedly that is what happened. Twitter 'experts' displayed an absolute intolerance to other views

Folks who disagreed weren't just wrong, they were malicious actors spreading "disinformation"

Really? Someone worked for 25 years as faculty to suddenly spread lies?

Disinformation has been so misused that it has lost meaning.

I recently saw an ID doc & lab researcher in the UK be accused of spreading "disinformation"

hahah, get outta here, you are trying to say "i disagree" but your keyboard is broken

Personal attacks have become so bad that I have seen a lab researcher accuse a doctor of wanting to engage in inappropriate relationships with patients due to diverging views on vaccine messaging

Seriously? It was a low point even for twitter

1) The Temple of the Divine Claudius was a vast temple complex on Rome's Caelian Hill, overlooking the valley that would later be occupied by the Colosseum. Though almost nothing now remains of the structure, its scale and grandeur once rivalled anything in the city.. #LostRome


2) The 'Claudium' was intended as a sacred complex to revere Claudius and the imperial cult. Construction began soon after the death and deification of the emperor in 54 AD, initiated by his widow Agrippina who was likely responsible for his supposed death by poisoning. #LostRome


3) The sprawling temple complex sat on a gigantic podium that spread across the Caelian Hill, measuring 180 x 200 metres; with towering retaining walls of travertine that raised the structure 20 metres above the valley below. #LostRome


4) The elevated sacred area was likely entered by steps facing the temple on the west side. The temple itself had a projecting hexastyle porch and was surrounded by gardens and a grand portico, probably the 'porticus Claudia' mentioned in Martial's 'On the Spectacles'. #LostRome


5) Statues of both Agrippina and Claudius’ ill-fated young son Britannicus, sculpted in sumptuous dark Egyptian greywacke, were discovered among the ruins on the Caelian Hill in 1651 – and had almost certainly been displayed in the temple precinct. #LostRome

@ChenHuailun here. I'm adding a supplementary thread before today's scheduled one to expand on the origins and early history of the Church of the East (aka the Nestorian Church) ~ahc #jingjiao 1/


The Church of the East traces its origins to the christological position of the School of Antioch, which held that the human and divine and human essences (ουσία) of Christ were united in a single prosopon (πρόσωπον). ~ahc #jingjiao 2/


This ran against the position of the School of Alexandria, which held that the two essences of Christ were united in a single hypostasis (ὑπόστασις). In general terms, hypostasis is more inherent than prosopon. ~ahc #jingjiao 3/


One implication of the Antiochene rejection of the hypostatic union is that Mary could not accurately be called the Theotokos, or God-bearer. Instead, she is the Christotokos, the Christ-bearer. ~ahc #jingjiao 4/


These Christological debates were further complicated by Syriac terms such as 'kyana' (ܟܝܢܐ), associated with 'ousia' but later translated to 'hypostasis' by Syrian Orthodox; and 'qnoma ' (ܩܢܘܡܐ), sometimes contentiously translated as 'hypostasis' or 'person.' ~ahc #jingjiao 5/

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x


The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x

Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x

The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x

It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x

Technical Analysis Masterclass- Part 2

'Entering the trade'

Entering a trade without ascertaining a certain things is gambling.

In this masterclass we will learn the pre-requisites to enter a trade.

DON'T ENTER A TRADE WITHOUT DETERMINNG THE FOLLOWING.

Please share.

We understand what reward to risk (popularly called risk to reward) is.
It will be denoted by R:R.

We will also try to bust a few myths about R:R and how to avoid losing trades.

Before entering a trade, you need to determine 3 things.

1. Entry trigger
2. Stop loss
3. Target

1. Entry trigger = Reasons for entering a trade. There could be multiple reasons or a single reason for entry.

Generally a set of reasons AKA confluence is a higher probability trade and a generally a safer entry.

Example of an entry trigger.


2. Stop Loss.

The price in the opposite direction of the trade where the trade is exited, at a loss.

At this level, the reason for the entry becomes invalidated according to TA and the price can then move in the opposite direction, probabilistically.


3. Target is the possible price level that the asset might touch based on previous trends or confluence AND where a possible reversal could occur.

Target is the next path of least resistance from where the price might reverse.

We will always ONLY use TA to determine all 3.
