THREAD PART 1.

On Sunday 21st June, 14 year old Noah Donohoe left his home to meet his friends at Cave Hill Belfast to study for school. #RememberMyNoah💙

 He was on his black Apollo mountain bike, fully dressed, wearing a helmet and carrying a backpack containing his laptop and 2 books with his name on them. He also had his mobile phone with him.
On the 27th of June. Noah's naked body was sadly discovered 950m inside a storm drain, between access points. This storm drain was accessible through an area completely unfamiliar to him, behind houses at Northwood Road. https://t.co/bpz3Rmc0wq
"Noah's body was found by specially trained police officers between two drain access points within a section of the tunnel running under the Translink access road," said Mr McCrisken."

https://t.co/SyJ38zRKdG
Noah's bike was also found near a house, behind a car, in the same area. It had been there for more than 24 hours before a member of public who lived in the street said she read reports of a missing child and checked the bike and phoned the police. https://t.co/38nzctfk4y
Some of Noah's clothes were found in the same street, where the last known cctv sighting of the teenager was seen, on Northwood Road. Among them, his helmet, hoodie and shoes. His jacket, underwear, shorts and t-shirt are still missing
His laptop was taken by police from a man named Daryl Paul. This man did not hand in his laptop voluntarily. Noah's laptop was seized in North Belfast after Mr Paul instructed the police he had left it with a friend to mind. https://t.co/9A0Jddf2ke
Daryl Paul had tried selling Noah's laptop. An anonymous tip off told police he had Noah's backpack, it along with books, laptop and Noah's jacket (as mentioned in this article) https://t.co/tZxN4yehQC
Daryl Paul has stated he found Noah's backpack beside a wall under a pedestrian underpass on the grounds of Ulster University on the day Noah went missing. Article found in @BelTel
Daryl Paul also claims another man was there that day and described him as acting suspicious near Noah's backpack. The man is described as having tattoos. Mr Paul states he told the police about this man on the day of his arrest. Article from @BelTel
There are many cameras in and around the Ulster University area.
Noah's mobile phone was found in North Queen Street beside a children's play park. https://t.co/pdej1JxbB4
At first it was put out by some news media, that Noah phoned 999 emergency services from his phone, but the police said this was "inaccurate
"https://t.co/DdjhIQhC3P
One of the last CCTV videos, show 14 year old Noah on York Road, fully dressed. The following videos show Noah naked on Northwood Road running and exhausted.
https://t.co/3xddfKIcOi
No cctv or eyewitnesses seen Noah actually removing his clothing between Skegoneill, Northwood Crescent and Northwood Road.
There was cctv footage handed in by a member of public who lived on Northwood Road of Noah cycling past her home naked, from the waist up https://t.co/NpXUrCe9En
There is also cctv footage of 14 year old Noah naked and running, exhausted between 2 houses at the top of Northwood Road. This was the final known sighting of young Noah. His Mother Fiona has seen this video https://t.co/Rm1FOmZqcQ
At first, because a member of public had said she seen someone fitting the description of Noah fall of his bike (in North Queen Street/York Street junction), the police suggested that perhaps Noah may have suffered a concussion. https://t.co/LhAO1A3kLE
That this led him to become confused and take his clothes off. The coroner's report said that Noah had died of drowning. There was no mention of a concussion. https://t.co/mcCOmcv2ke
Noah's Mother Fiona has seen cctv videos. She saw only brief moments of Noah's journey caught on camera, but has not yet seen the moments or hours before or after the videos were recorded. She has requested to see them in their entirety. https://t.co/Zwk6V3mtnE
The last videos caught on cctv have caused a lot of confusion. As at first the police said Noah's last sighting was at 6:11pm, naked between 2 houses. They then changed the time, twice, and said they'd made a mistake and that the actual last sighting was 6:03pm.
As to date, Noah's shorts, underwear, t-shirt and coat have not been recovered. There has also not been anyone come forward with either cctv or eyewitness to show that Noah removed his clothing.
There is confusion of how the person who saw Noah fall, stated he had left his jacket as it fell on the ground, and that he got back up and got on his bike and continued cycling. His jacket was also mentioned in the anonymous tip off about Daryl Paul and the backpack.
Most of Noah's clothes are still missing. As his Mother Fiona witnessed first hand, the police stood on the street while Noah was missing and allowed bin collections to proceed on Northwood Rd, while both Noah and his clothes were missing.
https://t.co/qSSQ4taHit
Noah's Mother was not allowed to search the area her son was last seen while he was still missing https://t.co/KQRV3LKw2W End of Thread 1
THREAD PART 2.

The public are upset that the police were suggesting "No foul play" before an autopsy had ever taken place with Noah after the discovery of his body, 950m inside a storm drain, in an area he was completely unfamiliar with https://t.co/dSAAXGDO4m
Many news papers and media ran this story, suggesting that Noah had done all this because of a concussion. After the coroners report which didn't mention a concussion, there was no further additions to this or updates https://t.co/sU2gW8WJFV
In May 2020, a month before Noah's death, another boy around the same age as Noah was brutally attacked and robbed very near the same area Noah had vanished. He was also cycling and had his phone stolen and his bike. https://t.co/fDgRs1g4Xs
The storm drain that Noah was found in was unlocked. As Noah was said to be still inside and missing, someone was phoned and asked to put the lock back on, on the 24th June. Nobody knows who unlocked the storm drain in the first place https://t.co/Vlk7dfYfLN
Noah is said to have discarded his belongings, yet the public have not seen any cctv whatsoever of Noah doing this. Or of him discarding his backpack at Ulster University. If there is cctv of Daryl Paul picking up the backpack there must be cctv of it being left there.
Police said that there was a leaflet drop, yet there was no evidence of this

Again, Fani-Kayode’s Absence Stalls His Trial

The trial of former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, before Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, could not hold on Wednesday, December 2, 2020, and for the third consecutive time due to his absence in court.


Fani-Kayode is facing a five-count charge of money laundering to the tune of N26million, preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

At today’s trial, prosecution counsel, M. S. Abubakar, expressed displeasure at the defendant’s recurring absence in court, noting that the unnecessary delays which such has caused in the trial defeat the spirit of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act of 2016 (ACJ)...

...which is for speedy administration of justice in the country. He therefore applied for a bench warrant against Fani-Kayode.

“My lord, on January 22, 2019, the defendant was neither in court, nor was he represented. But the court gave him a benefit of the doubt, which he abused. Again, on October 21, 2020, the defendant was also not in court.

THREAD: Yesterday following a pro-Trump/anti-lockdown protest in Salem, OR, riot police fired sting balls at conservatives and Proud Boys who refused to step back while trying to confront counter-protesters.

Filmed by @MaranieRae for @N2Sreports. Contact me for licensing.


In the moments before the sting-ball incident, portions of the right-wing crowd including Proud Boys came across a group of counter-protesters they identified as "antifa" and began chanting "Fuck antifa!" before police stepped in between.

Yesterday I did a thread on how Huawei is trying to manipulate Belgian policy audiences with a fake online ecosystem ahead of a key 5G decision. (https://t.co/ViIp7X5KsN) Huawei did not take kindly to my research.


Mike Bai, the "President of Strategy Marketing Western Europe" for Huawei doubled down and tagged me and the organisations listed in my profile in a promoted (!) tweet. It's still doing the rounds now.


But who is Mike Bai? An analysis of his Twitter account by Botometer rates him a dubious 2.2/5 (by comparison, I rate 0.4, where 0 is best). @villaraco points out that he gained 800K followers in 9 months: https://t.co/YfoVaVNq2y


Bai's sudden and massive online presence for Huawei started at the exact same time as the fake ecosystem of blogs and websites started being built, in March 2020. I can find no job history for him pre-Huawei, starting in March of this year.

I did find another (?) Mike Bai. The other Mike Bai authored a blog that posts Chinese state propaganda about things like the Covid-19 outbreak not originating in China. I won't link to the blog as not 100% sure it's same person, but here's a screenshot of part of the text.

1. Now that Stan Lee is being eulogized far and wide, it's important to remember how marginal Stan Lee and his collaborators (Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko) were in the 1950s and 1960s.

2. Marvel Comics (before that Atlas) was just a cog in the machine of a bottom pulp publisher run by Martin Goodman, the husband of one of Lee's cousins. It was the lowest of the low in the publishing world.

3. Now Mario Puzo (not yet the author of the Godfather) shared offices with Stan Lee in the 1950s and 1960s. Puzo wrote for garrish men's adventure magazines and, like Lee, dreamed of writing a novel & breaking out. But Puzo looked down on Lee.

4. Flo Steinberg, 1960s secretary at Marvel: "They were always making jokes about us. They'd come in and giggle. mario Puzo would look in and would see us all working on his way to the office and say, 'Work faster, little elves. Christmas is coming.'"

5. When JFK was killed, the whole office of Magazine Management was stunned and quiet. Except Lee. He continued working. "He was still working on the comic books," Puzo said. "Like that was the most important thing in the world."

Post Independence, Army wanted to select the most experienced Indian commander as Army chief. But Nehru without consulting anyone appointed Gen Rob Lockhart, a senior British Army officer as the Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the Indian Army.


Most people were shocked to know that Nehru selected a British Man after fighting for independence for over 200 years! Major Gen A A ‘Jick’ Rudra of the Indian Army was completely upset with the decision.


One day Lockhart met Nehru with a strategic plan and proposed many government directive defence policies for the country. He placed it on the table and explained the point to PM Nehru. After a while Lockhart walked out of the room and met AA Jick Rudra,+

Lockhart looked shell shocked and stunned. When asked what happened he said “The PM took one look at my paper and blew his top. Rubbish! Total rubbish! We don’t need a defence plan. Our policy is ahimsa (non-violence). We foresee no military threats. Scrap the army!”

One year after the incident the Kashmir crisis had increased and Gen Lockhart used to exchange ideas with the Gen Douglas Gracey who was commander in chief of Pakistan Army.There were many infiltrations along the border which Lockhart knew and took no action. But Lt Gen Cariappa+

1/ Someone emailed me asking how to break into VC, so I wanted to answer on Twitter where others could see and contribute to the conversation.

2/ “Being a VC” can mean a lot of different things, so it’s worth asking:

What actual activities do you want to do?

- Deep market analysis?
- Be in the flow of information and people?
- Make deals?
- Work closely w/ founders over time (e.g take board seats?)
- Manage capital?

3/ It’s worth specifying what type of VC you might like to become — as there are different archetypes. E.g.

- Benchmark (Lead series A/B - couple investments a year)
- First Round (Lead seed rounds, partner w/ a few companies a year)
- SV Angel (Make lots of seed investments)

4/ Continued:

Expa - Incubate companies

YC / Village Global - Build a platform to help entrepreneurs at scale

Do you want to join a firm or start one? There’s a lot to consider.

Different paths will require different skillsets & sets of experiences.

5/ Since the person who wrote the email is a young person trying to break into VC by joining a firm (and who doesn’t want to start a company), I’ll tailor this tweet storm to that goal. There’s some overlap.

Joshua Hawley, Missouri's Junior Senator, is an autocrat in waiting.

His arrogance and ambition prohibit any allegiance to morality or character.

Thus far, his plan to seize the presidency has fallen into place.

An explanation in photographs.

🧵

Joshua grew up in the next town over from mine, in Lexington, Missouri. A a teenager he wrote a column for the local paper, where he perfected his political condescension.

2/


By the time he reached high-school, however, he attended an elite private high-school 60 miles away in Kansas City.

This is a piece of his history he works to erase as he builds up his counterfeit image as a rural farm boy from a small town who grew up farming.

3/


After graduating from Rockhurst High School, he attended Stanford University where he wrote for the Stanford Review--a libertarian publication founded by Peter Thiel..

4/

(Full Link: https://t.co/zixs1HazLk)


Hawley's writing during his early 20s reveals that he wished for the curriculum at Stanford and other "liberal institutions" to change and to incorporate more conservative moral values.

This led him to create the "Freedom Forum."
