Rampage? They literally committed sedition & insurrection..it’s amazing to me the mass media’s strategic use of rhetoric to demonize the left & justify the right. This government & those who truly possesses the power in this country know exactly

 what they do when they call us rioters and looters (unarmed protestors asking for police brutality to be held accountable) and them mobs and protestors (heavily armed and refusing to accept the election results of a “democratic” process) We need to stop asking why they do this
And understand that it’s a tool. Propaganda and misinformation and rhetoric. They program us to be outraged and stay exhausted and fighting the seemingly arbitrary and “insignificant” uses of words. The media is the picture painter, the visuals released with a single if you will
They are all owned by the same people and then they slightly sqew the POV of their proposed audiences. So something like Fox knows that their main audience (viewer count=profit) is alt-right “conservatives” and CNN knows that it’s main audience is more liberal. All of these news
Sources will give out the same exact messaging with different angles so as to keep their viewers watching as long as possible. THEY MAKE MONEY OFF OF SENSATIONALIZING, CENSORING, SKEWING the truth and making it more entertaining. If y’all look at Ancient Rome and their tactics
for world domination (which is essentially thought domination) all of the pillars are present. What’s amazing to me is how we all flail about asking why these things happen when they are STRATEGIC. Why didn’t the police stop this? Where were the tanks and national guard?
They KNEW about all of this. These people have been planning this for months. Anyone paying any attention to the way these people move and think understand that this is not a game to them and that the police force (who have actively been involved in white supremacist groups
and quite literally murder black, brown, indigenous and queer folks on camera with no consequence due to a Supreme Court upheld “qualified immunity”) aren’t doing anything because they believe in what these self proclaimed patriots are “fighting for”. We have to understand
America’s RACIST, CLASSIST ETHOS. We have to understand the fact that these cycles have been going on since America’s inception. At the Boston tea party, WHITE PEOPLE dressed up as NATIVES so that the blame would fall upon their shoulders, the same way they say ANTIFA
(ANTI FASCISTS) were the ones who actually do everything on both sides of the line and were the ones who executed yesterday’s events. What is the point of national security if those who are destroying democracy are in the White House, in the police forces, in the neighborhoods
Of our own country? What is the point of all this fear? Why do we have a 934 billion dollar defense budget if these clowns can raid Capitol Hill with no resistance? The answer to these questions lies in the inaction of the state and these politicians still trying to gloss
Over the truth of the soul of this nation and pretend like we can return to or uphold some SHAM democracy. There is nothing democratic about the United States, as proven by the way these government officials have been acting during this pandemic. They don’t care about the people
This is an oligarchy run by corporations for corporations. For the rich by the rich. You can’t even be anywhere near government if you don’t raise millions during a campaign trail. And they (BOTH THE GOP AND DNC) undermine any sort of progressive mentality from having true power
Even though we all know that the majority of Americans are BEGGING for a modicum of the money they take from OUR PAY CHECKS to help us out of the circumstances that cause people to commit petty or violent crimes to begin with. I’m gonna go live on Instagram in a bit to
Break this down but I’m mf tired of watching us all scramble and scream “WHY” “HOW” “THIS IS SO SURPRISING” no it’s not. It’s going exactly according to their script. Protect your energy, keep your vibration as high as you can and truly get whatever plan together you need to feel
Safe because this is just beginning. It had nothing to do with just one president or just one administration or just individual isolated events of state violence. There is physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual violence going on everyday in this country..in this world
And there has been since it’s INCEPTION! This country is built on genocide and slavery. We’ve just reached the tipping point of the absolute mental illness that is White Supremacy Delusion. We have to break out of this cycle mentally by understanding why we’re here, not wondering

1/ Imagine that as soon as the referendum result the EU announced that it was looking forward to the end of free movement of UK citizens in the EU


2/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those retired Brits in the EU27 could go home

3/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those Brits in the EU could stop driving down wages, taking jobs and stop sending benefits back to the UK

4/ Imagine if the EU said it was looking to use UK citizens as “bargaining chips” to get a better trade deal

5/ Imagine if the EU told UK citizens in the EU27 that they could no longer rely on established legal rights and they would have to apply for a new status which they have to pay for for less rights

TRUMP: "I've decided to eat babies."

PEOPLE: "He can't eat babies, that's super illegal."

TRUMP, on TV, eating babies, not even cooking them first: "People are saying that I really am the best baby-eater, folks."

NYT: "Trump Vs. Babies: The Rhetoric On Both Sides Must Stop"

Jeff Flake tweets: "It is a sad day in America when this callous man can eat babies live on TV"

Jeff Flake, 10 seconds later, votes to help him install a series of 4,000 new judges that are very, very pro-babyphagia.

Judge Kavanaugh, found drunk in a Capitol Hill closet: "I LIKE BEER. OKAY? I LIKE BEER AND I LIKE BABIES AND THAT'S NOT SO WRONG. THAT'S RIGHT. I LIKE BABIES DIPPED IN BEER. I JUST DIP EM. IN THE BEER. THE BABIES. THE BABIES I EAT. OKAY? THAT'S AMERICA."

Mike Pence, wringing his hands about the baby-eating: "We must take care of our children. Our youngest must be protected on this troubling day."

Mike Pence then invites a Baby Chef to say a prayer.

Twitter Users: "It's a distraction technique! Trump eating babies is trying to DISTRACT YOU from ALL THE OTHER HORRORS, which are themselves distractions from the BABY-EATING. It's DISTRACTIONS ALL THE WAY DOWN."

Trump: *eats tons of babies at a rally*

*literal tons of babies*

Ok, it's high time to look at the REAL effects of Brexit. As the Tories implode & Labour sits on its hands, companies are executing contingency plans, shifting jobs & assets, slashing investments, or redomiciling (accounting exercise). Happening NOW, not in a fantasy future. 1/95

Barden Corporation is closing down its Plymouth factory after 51 years, putting 400 jobs at risk, as its parent company Schaeffler shifts production to various sites outside the UK due to Brexit.

8 health providers have warned of medicine shortages in the event of a no-deal Brexit: "we do not believe that the current medicine supply plans will suffice, and we will have widespread shortages if we do not respond urgently."

Pfizer - $100 million on Brexit prep: "Pfizer’s preparations are well advanced to make the changes necessary to meet EU legal requirements after the U.K. is no longer a member state, especially in the regulatory, manufacturing and supply chain areas."

The Government has spent £4.2 billion pounds on Brexit preparations (£2.2 billion in previous Budgets, plus an additional £2 billion in the most recent Budget.)

Here's why I bother to do the search, and even take the time to check.

This is part of a pattern that as detailed by Mueller, and has been proven by reputable studies since then. Here are parts of an Oxford report on the goals of the ongoing social media operations of Russia. https://t.co/qapD8Eh2SQ

This is partly what makes it impossible to have a constructive conversation nowadays. The stubborn refusal to accept that opposition to Trumpism and GOP nationalism is about more than simply holding different beliefs about things in and of itself. 👇


It's fine for people to hold different beliefs. But that doesn't mean all beliefs deserve equal treatment or tolerance and it doesn't mean intolerance of some beliefs makes a person intolerant of every belief which they don't share.

So if I said I don't think Trumpism deserves to be tolerated because it's just a fresh 21st century coat of cheap paint on a failed, dangerous 20th century ideology (fascism) that doesn't mean I'm intolerant of all beliefs with which I disagree. You'd think this would be obvious.

Another important facet. People who support fascist movements tend to give what they think are valid reasons for supporting them. That doesn't mean anyone is obliged to tolerate fascism or accept their proffered excuse.


Say you joined a neighborhood group that sets up community gardens and does roadside beautification projects. All good, right? Say one day you're having a meeting and you notice the President and exec board of this group are saying some bizarre things about certain neighbors.

1/ I am seeing more and more founder secondary in venture rounds (Secondary = founders selling some of their shares before some other shareholders are able). Series B-D. I see both as an investor and through entrepreneur circles.

2/ I like secondary for entrepreneurs. Moderation is key but in a lot of situations I think it helps accelerate the co. Lots of very smart investors disagree. Here are my thoughts.

3/ Magnitude: My basic rule of thumb from what I see is market is 4+ yrs and up to 10% of founder’s equity stake with some $ cap that makes sense given stage etc. (typically <$10m)

4/ The entrepreneurial journey is brutally hard. Giving some financial relief helps remove one piece of pressure. I don’t think that secondary in the magnitude mentioned impacts the drive/persistence of great entrepreneurs.

5/ That secondary means they will be able to just sleep knowing they can pay their kids’ tuition. Secondary will make most founders better at their jobs, thus accelerating the co.

1/People I know on the Right tend to be obsessed with the idea of "crimethink", taboos, and the (supposedly) oppressive, omnipresent enforcement of liberal cultural norms.

Why?

My new theory: A lot of it is guilt.

2/It's true that in some circles - the media, universities, many big corporations - liberal norms *are* enforced to some degree, and the enforcement has probably gotten stronger in recent years.

But I don't think this explains all of the Right's obsession.

3/The stereotype is that people on the Right tend to be more threat-sensitive. That would help explain the perception that liberal norm-enforcers are lurking everywhere, ready to pounce and anathematize anyone who makes a misstep.

But I don't think that's all of it either.

4/And of course, it's always fun - whether you're on the Right or the Left, or playing a video game, or whatever - to style yourself as the brave iconoclastic rebel fighting against the oppressive forces of blah blah blah.

But I don't think this is all of it, either.

5/The reason I think it's more than these things is that even *in private*, people on the Right express their "crimethink" ideas very gingerly and hesitantly.

I get the sense that they're not just afraid of external censure, but have also internalized liberal norms.

IMPORTANCE OF SATYA NARAYAN KATHA AND ITS ORIGIN.

We all have heard and read the Satyanarayan katha. But none of us dont know the original stories that Shatanand or Sadhu or Kalavati must have heard. Also, as a habit we hear or read this katha


but dont know the proper way it should be conducted.

We find its mention in Skanda puraan(Reva khand) and Bhavishya Puraan(Pratisarg parva).
Both Bhagwatam and Gita call Bhagwan Narayan as Satv or Truth. So Satyanarayan denotes this name as the one which is Truth incarnate.

The story began in Naimisharanya when Vyasji asked Sutji about a way to eliminate all the sorrows and fulfill all the desires and about who is the devta who can grant these at the same time.

So Suutji first prayed to Bhagwan Satyanarayan who is no one else but Vishnu ji.

Then he remembered all his avatars.After that he narrated the story of Narad. Once while visiting Mrityulok, Naradji was pained to see the sufferings of People around. He was deeply moved by these sufferings and wanted to know the means by which we could rid ourselves from these.

So he went to Vishnu ji and after paying his respects stood in front of him. Naradji narrated the purpose of his visit.

So Bhagwan Vishnu said to him that in Satyug and Tretayug, Bhagwan eliminates sorrow in Vishnuswarup. In Dwapar he assumes different forms to help people.

So friends here is the thread on the recommended pathway for new entrants in the stock market.

Here I will share what I believe are essentials for anybody who is interested in stock markets and the resources to learn them, its from my experience and by no means exhaustive..

First the very basic : The Dow theory, Everybody must have basic understanding of it and must learn to observe High Highs, Higher Lows, Lower Highs and Lowers lows on charts and their

Even those who are more inclined towards fundamental side can also benefit from Dow theory, as it can hint start & end of Bull/Bear runs thereby indication entry and exits.


Next basic is Wyckoff's Theory. It tells how accumulation and distribution happens with regularity and how the market actually

Dow theory is old but
