#Reliving1971
On evening of 03 Dec 1971, then PM Smt Indira Gandhi announced-
''I speak to you at a moment of grave peril to our country...The Pakistan Air Force suddenly struck at our airfields in Amritsar, Pathankot, Srinagar, Avantipur, Utterlai, Jodhpur, Ambala & Agra''
(1/n)
The first hostilities had broken-out between India & Pakistan!
However, known to a few, Pakistani Submarine Ghazi was already on the prowl on the Eastern coast of India since end-Nov - its target, the aircraft carrier #INSVikrant - the pride of #IndianNavy (2/n).

In fact, from 27 Nov onwards, PNS Ghazi hung around 5-10 miles off the harbour entrance, armed with torpedoes & mines, waiting for Vikrant.
Did Ghazi get its target? Or did Vikrant manage to counter the deadly submarine?

Contrary to corporate media myth, Venezuela was not a model democracy nor a “prosperous nation” before Hugo Chávez. The country's massive oil wealth only enriched the local elite and foreign companies. This gross inequality was reversed with the Hydrocarbon Law on #13Nov, 2001.🧵
Chávez’ landmark Hydrocarbon Law increased gov’t oil royalties and imposed a 51% state stake in all joint ventures, thus ending foreign companies' decades-long reign over Venezuela’s oil resources and their siphoned-off profits.
For the first time since becoming an oil-exporting nation in the 1920s, the Venezuelan people benefited from oil income. Chávez used the resources to deliver wide-ranging social and economic programs, improving the lives of millions. It was known as “repaying the social debt.”

🧵On #13Nov, 2001, Hugo Chávez's historic Land Law was approved to reverse Venezuela's highly unequal land distribution. The law provided conditions for campesinos (peasants) to rescue over 60% of large unproductive estates.

The land for those who work it! 👇
Before Chávez, neoliberal policies and oil dominance made the country dependent on agri-food imports while marginalizing rural peoples. Many migrated to urban areas to escape poverty, resulting in today’s barrios on the outskirts of Caracas and other cities.
With the Land Law there was a rural revitalization with campesinos retaking idle land from the elites. This saw agricultural production ramp up after decades of decline. Small and midsize farmers cover some 70% of Venezuela's food demand presently.

Más sobre el #Fructus en Venezuela:

Detectamos más portales alertando sobre "niños" que usan Fructus para "drogarse" y por primera vez, la presunta reproducción de la #FakeNews en prensa escrita.

Hace 6 días publicamos un hilo DESMENTIENDO la noticia.

Queremos agregar algo /1
- La difusión del rumor inició en Twitter y se ha vuelto trending topic al menos 3 veces desde el #13Nov.
- Varias fuentes informaron que el #Fructus no posee efectos psicotrópicos, pero puede generar irritación en vías respiratorias de inhalarse.

ES PELIGROSO INHALARLO /2
- Tantas personas y portales se han hecho eco del rumor, que en @cazamosfakenews tememos que una mentira se convierta en una epidemia, un "reto juvenil" masivo.

Antecedente: niños en EE.UU. pulverizando Smarties para inhalarlo, con daños respiratorios /3
