How #Maidan turned into #War
From 2014 to 2022, the DPR and LPR territories was subjected to daily #shelling from 🇺🇦 side. It all started from Maidan movement, which gained momentum in Kiev in 2013.

[1/12] To understand what else is needed to create a financial future based on #blockchain technology, just consider what the #Interledger #Protocol was NOT designed to do. 😉

[A #Thread 🧵] Source: https://www.w3.org/2016/07/01-ILP-Update-2016-07-01.
[2/12] 🤔 What problem does #ILP genuinely address?

Just like the #internet will never agree on a single #protocol to fix everything, the world will never agree on a single #blockchain or ledger [#DLT].

What must be resolved is:
🔹 Addressing
🔹 Fragmentation The Interledger

Dissent Scotland is a new and growing activist collective whose purpose is to promote, agitate and protest for #ScottishIndependence. We will do this through creative arts and performance, direct action and political demonstration. #Dissent #SovereignScots #IndyActionNow
We are not affiliated with any other org or political party although our activists may be members of such. We have no leader and no hierarchy, some activists take on roles suited to their experience or skill set, but everyone is equal and will always be. #Dissent #IndyActionNow
We are not a homogeneous group and each #sovereign individual is able to engage in and encourage participation actions on their own accord, likewise individuals may choose not to take part in activities and that has no bearing on their standing. #Dissent #IndyActionNow

The Nomad Scam ⚠️

A Thread 🧵 by and Airline Pilot 🛩 with a 37,000ft view ⛅️
Don’t go burning that Passport just yet 🔥

If you’ve spent any time doing deep dives in #fintwit or on YouTube, you’ve likely come across a few people offering you the service of separating you from your money and your US citizenship.
The prominent players in this space use some kind of take on the words #nomad & #Sovereign They boast lavish lifestyles in Banana Republics were you can escape the regime of the United States Government and its tax code.

Appalling bit of subediting(?) but the article itself lays out both the history and US context of #RoeVsWade and the consequences of overturning it with rather more nuance:

thetimes.co.uk/article/the-ti… The Times view on US abortion law and overturning Roe v Wade
The "right approach" the writer appears to support 👇 is the codification of the #RightToChoose into federal #law - which should have happened decades ago. The major issue being the parlous state of US politics... What it should also do is push the issue to the top of the p
For the avoidance of doubt, I absolutely support women's #RightToChoose - it is not for ANY authority to tell people what they can or can't do with their bodies. Anger is justified, but not enough; this is an issue around which people must #mobilise and begin taking back #agency.

Guess who has now been restricted from posting on facebook for 3 days because as soon as I posted on @facebookapp @Meta I was restricted again for posting an update about our #Comanche wordle… #EndangeredLanguage
…I included 1 sentence in Comanche on the 3rd post (“Someone is smart”) & it was flagged as solicitation of sexual activity. I am posting about Comanche, a CRITICALLY ENDANGERED LANGUAGE with fewer than 10 speakers, & sharing resources for our tribal members. #IndigenousMe
I’m not sure how to go about getting this fixed. @finkd Facebook @Meta is a very valuable tool for our tribal government to communicate and share language learning resources with our tribal members all over the world… #sovereign #languagewarrior

- TJ was meant to be interpreted literally AT THE FOUNDING when he said “all men are created equal”

The key here is “AT THE FOUNDING”

AL and the North were just as racist as the South... AL did not believe this and did not fight for this..

I have a few questions on the whole #Article16 row, and row-back.

Though I understand it's FAR more exciting to report on the inevitable political #PileOn / #AxeGrinding / #CasusBelli, there is actually an agreed Protocol and procedures.

So...
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-558655…
1a) Have folks read #Article16 of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland?

It's on p13 of this PDF: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl… and is quite short [left pic].

1b) Have they read Annex 7 [right pic, p62 of PDF] which describes the procedures to be followed?
Assuming the answers to (1a) & (1b) are Yes:

2) Given the EU appears to have considered these to be "exceptional circumstances" was the UK notified via the #JointCommittee, and was all relevant information provided?

(Papers should be here, eventually: ec.europa.eu/info/relations…)

It's that time of the season again when Divestment talks during a bull run gathers momentum (with little results)

LIC IPO is back on the table with advisors being chosen. Fair enough!

A thread below on why LIC IPO is not going to be a cakewalk
(a) LIC is the largest #DII in India handling $500bn #investment portfolio. LIC act stipulates that all #receipts and payments need to be made out of that fund only. In case govt divest 10% stake (min stake required as per #SEBI regulations), who will do the corpus handling?
(b) LIC act stipulates that the insurer distribute 5% surplus p.a to GOI as #dividend. Most pvt insurers prefer higher ratio to shareholders. Any change in this ratio requires approval from both houses of #parliament. Even investors would insist on clarity before committing $

Jamaat-e-Islami J&K. A #thread.

The Jamaat-i-Islami is, by far, one of the most influential #Islamic movements in the #world today, particularly strong in the countries of #SouthAsia. Its influence extends far beyond the confines of the #Indo-#Pakistan subcontinent.
(1/19) Image
Jamaat-e-Islami J&K (#JIJK)was formed in 1945 as a chapter of the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind & separated in 1953 due to differences over #political ideology with the parent body.
(2/19) Image
JIJK was banned in 1975 for 2 years during #Emergency, in 1990 for 5 years for fostering #Terrorism in #Kashmir.
It was handed a 3rd 5 year ban in Feb 2019 2 weeks after #Pulwama attack for its close links with #terror outfits & its involvement in #secessionist activities.

Simon touches on a key point in his first item.

As with #falsifiability in #science, in #practice '#ethics' only work in the context of a #profession or #community *from which one can be #excluded*.

Those wishing to be #trusted as #ethical must stop issuing '#principles' and...
..setting up #EthicsBoards like @Google's or private courts like @Facebook's @OversightBoard (both demonstrating how poorly #BigTech grasps basic concepts like #justice, let alone #ethics, and how both - as #sovereign powers - have utterly misconceived #community) and start to...
...genuinely #professionalise.

Not in the shitty, self-serving, #cartel-like fashion of many companies & industry bodies in tech, advertising - and yes, DP & privacy - but in broader, deeper, more #connected ways that *could* deliver the #trustworthy #institutions of the future.

“The fallacies of the #neoclassical loanable funds view of interest rates and the related myths about #fiscal #sustainability and crowding out, would be seen to be nonsensical. #Neoliberal narratives would be undercut."
"We could get on with having a rational and well-informed discussion about issues such as the appropriate role and size of the #government within the #economy; the appropriate design of more effective automatic stabilisers like the #JobGuarantee; ..."

All eyes will be on the @federalreserve and the @ecb policy meetings this week, particularly as the @EUCouncil meeting last week was directionally encouraging but lacking in #policy specificity.
Regarding the #Fed, we expect the Committee to reiterate its guidance that the target range for the federal funds rate will remain at zero until after #coronavirus-related disruptions to the #economy have healed.
Further, while the #FOMC will have to update its statement a good deal to better reflect the severity of the #economic contraction underway, it will also take the opportunity to describe the transition from emergency support of market functioning to a long-term #LSAP regime. Image

well, that was a #hairy #few #minutes, I have no #hashtags left to use about the #uksc.

The UK if you've missed it, is, possibly surprisingly, a #democracy and #democracyisnotdead

Should we talk about consequences? implications and links? might go into threads from here on in
I'm making this thread up as I go, but since about 90% of the population think the only Democratic problem is the speed of #Brexit, and #conspiracy about #RemainerNow delays, maybe someone should list all the attacks - most of which are far more serious. I'll justify that #uksc
Here's my view, feel free to add. I'll put this in normal language first, and add relevant legals after.

1) UK Executive and Tories (UKET) attempt Rule by Edict
2) UKET attempt a Parliamentary Coup (we may now legitimately describe it that way)
3) UKET illegally suspend Parl'

#Tolstoy & #MMT connection

In 1886, great Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy published a non-fiction piece called 'What Then Must We Do?'.

There is a chapter on #money, which in effect sounds very much familiar and close to the #MMT motto -- #taxes-drive-money.

1/4
Tolstoy: "Any money is getting accepted between people only when they are forcefully demanded to be delivered by everybody. When every person needs money to redeem herself/himself from violence, only then money will obtain stable exchange value..."

2/4 #Tolstoy & #MMT connection
Tolstoy (cont'd): "... And what is demanded by the government [to be delivered by people as payment of taxes, fees, etc] obtains value, not what is convenient for exchange."

Ten #MMT tips to remember on #TaxDay:
1. Federal #taxes don't fund federal spending, so let's #decouple these two important tools.
2. Taxes offset #Government spending.
3. It's a matter of #logic: #dollars must be spent into existence (by the Gov) first, in order for us to use some of those $ to pay taxes
4. #Taxing for #revenue is for local states/municipalities, not the #sovereign issuer of the #currency.
5. Taxing excessive wealth protects #democracy from #Oligarchy and protects us from abusive market power
6. Taxing #pollution & #speculation to reduce such activities, not to "fund" #healthcare and #education.

When the family places engineered burdens upon one's cross of agony for later crucifixion, because they KNOW that's the right way to evolve their Christians...they create unresolved deceptions within the human body. It is not truth to come through. It is applied torture.
The binding of the cross with wire and nails (denials) create actual physical maladaptive responses within the human body. Autoimmune responses. Get it? You're in REALITY killing yourselves. Neat trick. Feel humbled by your God yet? Natural evolution...not your intended thing.
The body expects to receive truth always. That is ITS way. When another from birth deceives their child, the body is continually becoming polarized from its consciousness. Until it generates enough antibodies to kill itself. Nature says: not healthy enough for serving functions
