New from me: Prosecutors have charged an alleged Colorado militia member, Robert Gieswein, which The Daily Beast has been tracking since he appeared in photos of the riot at the Capitol.

The FBI says Gieswein "appears to be affiliated with the radical militia group known as the Three Percenters." Working with @jsrailton, we found similar evidence. Here's a picture of Gieswein from his now-deleted Facebook page posing in front of CO Rep Lauren Boebert's bar
Gieswein, kneeling with the rifle. is flashing the Three Percenter hand signs in front of Beobert's bar in this picture from November 2019.
One of the ways we were able to identify Gieswein was from the distinctive "Woodland Wild Dogs" patch he wore on his chest. If you check website registrations, you can find that Gieswein registered websites for the group as well as "Rocky Mountain Oathkeepers"
And to tie it in further, Gieswein also put the Woodland Wild Dogs logo on his FB page.
There was also an Instagram account (again, now deleted) in the name of the "Woodland Wild Dogs" that appeared to show Gieswein and associated camping, shooting, and doing tactical exercises
Gieswein was easily trackable at the Capitol thanks to a series of distinctive patches other than the Woodland Wild Dogs one.
You can see him kneeling and looking injured on the night of Jan 5 after involvement in an apparent scuffle in this picture taken by Shannon Stapleton of Reuters https://t.co/A3mpLrdOfz https://t.co/OaeCJ9h1Z3
This photo by @Jacquelyn_M of AP was incredibly helpful in identifying him via his patch https://t.co/Qk7AOmEyLI
You can see him throughout the assault at the capitol wielding a baseball bat in this photo by Amy Harris https://t.co/4Nth0pMALk
In this photo by @kentnish, his helmet is visible at rioters shove a barrier into Capitol police
And as the FBI affidavit notes, his helmet is once again visible at Dominic "Spazzo" Pezzola allegedly smashes through a Capitol window with a police shield
He also joins the other rioters for that infamous confrontation with police inside the Capitol. Standing here again next to "Spazzo"
Gieswein appeared to be active in local gun rights protests in Woodland Park prior to the riot. He posted about at least one on his deleted Facebook page.
He's also quoted in this story about doing an open carry counter-protest when local students staged a "march for our lives" protest in the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings. https://t.co/m6hoyZnBTQ

In light of this serious cyber attack and this being the second in a row that I've heard in the past few weeks, I'd like to take this moment to talk about the cyber attack known as #phishing so that others do not fall prey to it and stay safe online.

Phishing is usually a means of contacting you by impersonation to gather data, oversimplifying it. This can happen in several ways:
1. URL similarities: Usually when people visit a webpage, most people never check the URL (Uniform Resource Locator). For example, a fake URL of

hackers perform cyber attacks. However this is only one of many.
Many people might forward you genuine links with small "add-ons" which enter your system like a Trojan Horse. A beautiful meme of keyboard cat on the outside but a vicious data-mining link on the inside.

There's also other means of doing this. And you might think "But dude, who's stupid enough to fall for it?"
LOTS of UNINFORMED people are.
2020 was a record breaking year for phishing websites and attacks as per @techradar. It's not just through

Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
