A thread of Republican dirtbag history to enlighten those who don't know-
Richard Nixon's administration included:
H.W. Bush- who became director of the CIA for one year in 1976
He later became VP and POTUS
Invaded Panama and started the Gulf War

Dick Cheney
Donald Rumsfeld

Dick Cheney was Nixon's chief of staff, WY Rep. in House of Representatives 1978-1989 when he became HW Bush's Sec. of Def. during the invasion of Panama and Gulf War. He was on the board of Halliburton from 1995-2000 and went on to be VP for GW Bush leading the war on Iraq.

Donald Rumsfeld was a special advisor to President Nixon and became Pres. Ford's chief of staff when Dick Cheney became Sec. of Defense.
When Ford lost he became CEO of Searle pharma and later 1997-2001 Gilead pharma. He was then Sec. of Defense of GW Bush.

It was Rumsfeld's claims of a chemical weapons cache that led to another war, which was headed by his friend and the VP Dick Cheney. He was also a fan of torture and partially responsible for the hiring of mercenaries from Blackwater.

Privatizing prisons started in 1980 and was largely Republican policy. Blackwater didn't just train mercenaries, they also train prison guards and other law enforcement personnel. They do not train deescalation.
John Ashcroft, the former AG for GW Bush is now on the board...

This is not an original anecdote. But is thought provoking neverthless.

A young woman went to her mother, told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. 1/n

She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her wise mother did not say anything but led her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on the stove. 2/n

And the pots were brought to boil. In the first pot she put a carrot, in the second she carefully dropped an egg, and in the last she put a spoon of ground coffee beans. She let them boil for a while, without saying a word. 3/n

After twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She stained both the pots containing carrot and egg, which she placed on separate bowls. She poured the pot that contained the coffee powder and water into a third bowl. 4/n

Turning to her daughter, she asked, ' Tell me what you see.'

'Carrots, eggs, and coffee,' she replied.

Her mother asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break its shell. 5/n

I should be clear here. Yes, we've made fortunes on BTC. But BTC was coopted years ago. Now the CIA/deep state/Wall St people are getting into it because it has gotten the nod from the Rothschilds. At some point we will all sell for Monero and they are all fucked. ;)

It'll be somewhere around $300k that we bring the hammer down on them.

You're hearing a lot of talk about "irregularities" in the election of 1876 that led to a "disputed" outcome. What is being referred to in this hazy terms?

Across the state of South Carolina, white conservatives had used terror and massacre to deter former slaves from voting in 1876. Here's the story of an attack upon the small town of Hamburg in July

Hundreds of black South Carolinians were killed by white conservative militias. Blacks fought back in many places, but they were out-gunned.

The killings were not spontaneous outbursts. They were part of planned campaign of anti-black voter

Some of the elements of the conservative plan to suppress black votes in South Carolina in 1876 sound queasily familiar in our own time, adjusting for the antique language and technology.

But back of it all was terror and violence, more violence than could be contained by the limited federal forces in the area - who were anyway constrained by the white conservative Democratic House majority elected in 1874.

It's important to recognize that the intended impact of the murderous US blockade of Venezuela isn't just regime change, but also forcing the Chavista government to liberalize the economy, privatize state institutions, allow in foreign capital, and adopt the dollar (thread below)

Venezuela's economy has been almost entirely dependent on oil for 100 years. This is a problem going back many decades before Chavismo.

This made it very susceptible to being hurt by US sanctions, which expanded into a full economic blockade that has killed 10,000s of civilians.

The US economic war on Venezuela -- through blockade, sanctions, attacks on the currency, hyperinflation, blocking oil exports in an oil-based economy, and internal sabotage and hoarding by right-wing oligarchs who still dominate import-heavy industries -- forced it to dollarize.

Inflation in Venezuela is complicated, but there has been a sustained economic attack on the currency, called the bolívar, by the USA and right-wing Venezuelan capitalist oligarchs who use websites to create a black market rate which drives up the exchange rate many times per day

The US blockade and sanctions, inability to export oil and get access to foreign currencies, and internal sabotage by right-wing opposition - which uses the black market rate to drive up insane inflation - forced President Maduro to legalize the US

NLP

Subliminal psychology is mental influence that passes beneath the limits of normal human perception. A subject will not notice they are being exposed to a subliminal stimulus.

a great deal of it is used by marketing and the Media

▪Thread

People who you can use subliminal psychology tactics on

-People you need a favor from e.g superiors in work
-Seduction
-Stubborn people in your life
(coworkers, roommates, partners)
-Hypnotize yourself to accomplish something

You can make life easier as you bypass the power struggles and effort it takes to get people to like you and to do what you want.

Down below are subliminal tricks you can use in your relationship

When you establish dominance and submissiveness, you end the need for fighting because one person delegates all decisions to the otherThe subliminal secret to gaining dominance is to make a power move that floods your partner’s subconscious mind with respect and awe.

The way to do this is to use leading and pacing.

Practice mirroring of eachother. Then you can start making some small movements of your own to see if your partner mirrors it back.

Let me indulge in a story...

Once upon a time there was a genius called Satoshi, this anonymous character laid down a block, it was called the Genius Block, but we we spell it wrong to this day.

Then along came your standard noob who believed in freedom, we know this because he went by the name NewLibertyStandard.

He created a site to buy and sell Bitcoins.

On his site, he priced Bitcoin on electricity.

The price went up, the price went down.

Then one day, he changed the pricing system.

BTC was no longer priced at the cost of mining.

He priced it by DEMAND and SUPPLY.

Geeks and legendary futurists, bought and sold the rarest commodity on the Internet for pennies.

Price teleported upwards.

Then came a Magic The Gathering gamer. He smashed together a shaky piece of software called Magic The Gathering Exchange.

It became the first widely used BTC exchange.

The whole world sent this kid money to buy BTC.

A new market had unlocked. Price teleported.

Let's fast forward 6 glorious years of price teleportation events.

Many of the story details remain unknown to me, though I see their impact on the blockchain.

But let me bring you to the year 2017 and save you lots of reading...

MCFC VS KBFC match thread

(1/14)

Both teams setup more or less same, having playing the game in midfield. It was a usual MCFC XI and puieta was introduced for KBFC. We'll straight away get to some points
(2/14)

1.KBFC Buildup and MCFCs plan to take it out.

Kerala would build up through Jeackson dropping in between the 2 CBs and Vicente and Facundo taking the half spaces ahead as two 8s. Sahal and Puieta took up the wide channels behind Murray
(3/14)

MCFC had a very good plan against this KBFC build up. They took out the holding midfielder mostly Jeackson. The front 2 will be pressing the CBs by blocking out the passing lanes to Jeackson Singh
(4/14)

The wide midfielders will be pressing KBFC fullbacks which made the build up tricky. Costa here was made to pass out a long pass to Vicente who was intercepted .
(5/14)

The Greek civilization was the most influential civilization in the history of the world. All of today’s thoughts and ideas can be traced back to the Greeks. They gave us democracy, mathematics, drama, philosophy, Olympics and a whole bunch of Gods.

A THREAD

Here are some interesting facts revolving around Greek mythology.

Hercules gave us the saying “Taking the bull by its horns”:

The saying, “Taking the bull by its horns”, comes from Greek mythology. It was one of the 12 labors of Hercules that he had to perform to repent for..

..killing his own wife and children in a fit of madness caused by Hera. He saved the city of Crete from a raging bull by seizing its horns.

Athena defeated Poseidon to become the guardian of Athens:
Athena and Poseidon both wanted to become the guardian of a certain city so they decided to give a gift each to please the residents of the city. Poseidon gave them water in the form of a spring but the water was salty..

... and of no use. Athena gave them an olive tree which was much more useful as it gave food, oil and wood and so she won and since then that city has been known as Athens.

We continue to hear that several $ZIL holders are unable to withdraw their tokens from certain exchanges and their withdrawal transactions seem to have errored out as incorrect nonce.

A thread on status update. 👇

1/ This has only affected a few exchanges, while there are others, where withdrawals are getting processed as expected. Also, given that the network is processing transactions as usual, we understand the frustration of some feeling stuck while others can interact on-chain.

2/ PROBLEM: We have spoken to some of these affected exchanges to better understand the issue at hand. It appears that those exchanges issued several consecutive withdrawal transactions which are expected to include an increasing counter called nonce.

3/ However, if any of the intermediate transactions gets rejected for some reasons, then all the subsequent ones get rejected too as the nonce will no longer be consecutive. We therefore believe that nonces were not correctly handled which led to withdrawals getting affected.

4/ SOLUTION: The solution to the problem is in fact quite simple. All the failed withdrawals can be considered by the exchanges to have been rejected by the network and they can re-issue a new transaction with the correct nonce.

The greatest modern Urdu poet and scholar Allama Iqbal called Sri Ram 'Imam-e-Hind’. Imam-e-Hind means religious head of India.   #RamMandirNidhiSamarpan Shri Ram JanamBhumi

Kabir who founded the Nirguna School of Bhakti conceived Rama as a formless God whereas Tulsidas and his followers worshipped Rama as Saguna God taking into account His divine qualities and achievements.   #RamMandirNidhiSamarpan  Donate 4 Ram

To Ramananda it was irrelevant whether the devotee was a Nirguna or Saguna Bhakta so long as he followed Ramananda’s preaching and had religious fervour. 
 #RamMandirNidhiSamarpan  Donate 4 Ram

Tulsidas was the most important poet of the Rama Bhakti school. The wave of the Bhakti movement spear-headed in the North by Ramananda may have influenced Tulsidas.    #RamMandirNidhiSamarpan Donate 4 Ram

The name “Ram” was used by Guru Kabir and other classic or early Sants such as Namdev. “Satya-Ram” is the sacred name used by the followers of Sant Dadu Dayal of Rajasthan.   #RamMandirNidhiSamarpan  Donate 4 Ram

10 things that I wish to had learned earlier in life:

1) You're not going to be rich by selling your workforce. Instead, create value for society through a business and own equity on it. (more @naval)

2) Workout 5 days/week is easier than trying to be fit. Find a hobby that burns calories, don't miss it twice. Enjoy. @atosjiujitsuhq

3) Find a reason to be grateful every day is easier than the search for happiness.

4) Great books give you superpowers.

This is John Singer Sargent’s “Madame X” (1884). Although it doesn’t look remotely controversial today, when it was exhibited at 1884 Paris Salon, the public were so shocked & disgusted that Sargent moved out of the country, and his model’s reputation never recovered.

Thread!

The sitter was the socialite Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau, wife of the French banker Pierre Gautreau.
Gautreau was an American expatriate, known in Paris as a ‘professional beauty’, meaning she used her looks to advance her social status - which she did exceptionally well

Her husband was much older than she was and very wealthy. Paris was awash with rumours about her multiple infidelities, but the social elite clamoured to be around her, nonetheless.

Artists were particularly fascinated by her. The painter Edward Simmons once wrote that he ‘could not stop stalking her as one does a deer.’

John Singer Sargent was an ambitious American artist who made his name with his work in portraiture. He was desperate to paint Gautreau, believing a painting of her would make his name.
