ЁЯЫСIn #Russia, past 24 hrs. Thread: #Putin's terror. Arrests, beatings, tortures, court hearings, & sentences w/o the accused & defenders, raids, intimidation. The court turns down the appeal for #Navalny. Navalny says, "We will not be intimidated." Unprecedented. Please RT. ЁЯСЗЁЯП╜ ЁЯЫС

 Today, the court in the Moscow region recognized the detention of #AlexeyNavalny for 30 days as legal. Earlier, the court sentenced Navalny to 30 days stay in prison.┬аhttps://t.co/ThV43owPFY
Journalists were not allowed into the courtroom but could watch the broadcast on the screen in the conference room. Navalny found out his apartment was searched, his brother was arrested for violation of COVID sanitation rules, the sound was turned off. https://t.co/V6iUICg1rh
Navalny's defense intends to appeal the court decision. "The law is on our side. Nobody had any particular hopes for changing the preventive measure тАЭ
#Navalny's last word (translated from part of the video below): "I would like to express my support to all people who are arrested, subjected to other repressions, searches, persecutions, just for being honest and not being afraid... https://t.co/P9KpVFYNw1
#Navalny: "I want to express my support to all those who took to the streets, because they are, in fact, the only and last obstacle on the way to a complete degradation in which our country is slipping, the last obstacle in the way of those in power to finally steal everything...
#Navalny" "They are the defenders of our country and the patriots of our country. All these Khimki, Simonov, Basmanny, and other courts, police departments, and prosecutors' offices just demonstrate lawlessness to incite fear. Let me repeat, you can't intimidate us...
#Navalny: "We are the majority. Those tens of millions of people who have been robbed by this government cannot be intimidated, despite the fact that, of course, the people under arrest are suffering...
#Navalny: "But I am glad that more and more people understand now that the law is on our side and that the truth is on our side, and we will not allow a bunch of evil people to impose their orders in our country." #navalnyprotests thread https://t.co/P9KpVFYNw1
Meanwhile, all over the country, arrests, raids continued. In St. Petersburg, a series of raids took place, several arrested for taking part in protest, including a father of 7. Police breaks into apartment at 6 am, with machine-guns, in balaklavas┬аhttps://t.co/1KOqSgYsvT

In Moscow, a lawyer, arrested in a courtroom where he defended the rights of a patient, by balaclava-clad police/force enforcement https://t.co/kkNXjnpJvw
Horrifying, even for Putin's Russia: In Nizhny Novgorod, police searches an apartment of an accredited journalist Margarita Murakhtaeva whose mother Irina Savina burned herself protesting an apartment raid, in Oct 2020. Husband/father opens the door.┬аhttps://t.co/w7uy3d0RBO

In Moscow, a TicToc blogger was arrested, beaten up and starved for two days. Ten other bloggers were detained at the same time.┬аhttps://t.co/H92HIHXAQY
Rostov-na-Donu, Tver, Syktyvkar, young, old, women, men, children, the list goes on and on, & I'm unable to collect and translate it all. I will continue monitoring and covering. Pls RT so the world knows about the crimes of #Putin's regime. #Navalny #navalnyprotests #Russia ЁЯз╡тШЭ

Xi Jinping's speech at Davos boiled down to: The world has no choice but to do business with China, and if you want to do business with China, you need to stop criticizing our tyranny and questioning our lies about the

Xi's address to the World Economic Forum will serve as well as any other moment for historians to mark the beginning of the Authoritarian Era. He said nothing new, but he restated the narratives and demands of Chinese fascism from a post-pandemic position of aggressive strength.

For the first time, Xi spoke to a world that is beginning to accept the tenets of authoritarianism, thanks to the incredible political and economic damage from China's coronavirus. China's ideals have become as viral as Covid-19.

Thanks to the pandemic, the political elites of the world now universally see their citizens as dangerous mobs that must be tightly controlled for their own good. Most of them always thought that way, but now they can say it openly and act aggressively on their prejudices.

Xi clearly stated that China will not be contained, censured, or judged for its actions. He denounced Western ideals of human rights as "arrogance" and imperialism. After Covid and Biden's inauguration, he sees no nation with the strength or will to thwart China's ambitions.

OK - now in Honduras narco-case including Prez JOH & brother Tony, now Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez has a proceeding before Judge Castel - Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below


The US Attorney's Office has asked for "Witness-1" to testimony under a pseudonym, and for jurors and "venire" (prospective jurors) be left unnamed, due to threats of retaliation and "inability of Honduran government to protect witness."
Or unwillingness?

Judge Castel: I presided over the Hernandez Alvarado trial, but this one will be different. Defense?
Defendant's counsel: I understand reading between the lines what your Honor is saying [about corruption in Honduras] and the alleged homicide...

Defense counsel: There have been public statements from the government of Honduras that this is all false. We could get that testimony even if the witnesses did not come here, using letters rogatory.

Defense lawyer: Either the jury will believe my client important tons of cocaine or not - whether he gave political campaign contributions in Honduras is a sideshow."
[To him, maybe]
Defense: The evidence should be kept out.

THREAD: After seeing some twitter users raising their concerns, itтАЩs time for some additional explanatory information and points regarding Myanmar military that might come in handy in a few days. [1]
#WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar

Along with saddening incidents in Mandalay this afternoon, allow me to recall past brutal atrocities conducted by armed forces and the generals who have been ruling the country for decades. [2]

During 1988 uprisings where huge demonstrations led by students and then followed quickly by hundreds of thousands of monks, children, doctors and common people against the military government, which led to the general strikes across the country. [3]

And later brutal crackdowns followed and thousands of deaths have been attributed to the military during the uprising.
Yes. Same military of today. The authorities back then put the figures only around 350 ppl killed. [4]


During 2007 uprising/saffron revolution,
the people got fed up with military gov and started a campaign of peaceful resistance led by Buddhist monks, later many arrested/detained, many brutally tortured in custody. Myanmar ppl still hold high respect for saffron rev monks [6]

Many readers have asked me "why do so many pulp covers feature women in ripped red blouses standing in swamps while a man fights off an unusual animal attack?"

The answer is artist Will Hulsey...


Will Hulsey was the undisputed king of the animal attack pulp cover. You name it, he'd paint it attacking you in a pool of stagnant water.


Very little is known about Will Hulsey, but he worked on a number of men's pulp magazines in the 1950s and early 1960s including Man's Life, True Men, Guilty, Trapped and Peril.


Their audience was ex-GIs: during WWII the US Council of Books in Wartime had given away over 122 million books to American servicemen to read; this led to a post-war surge in paperback and magazine sales amongst these newly enthusiastic readers.


As a result the 1950s saw a raft of men's pulp magazines being published to tap into this market - almost 200 different titles!

Amman vigraham here┬аis made of sand and clay so


no abhishekam done to the main vigraham. Samayapuram Mariamman Temple is one of the famous Shakthi Sthal of Tamilnadu.

Story says that paramashiva created Kali, out of the poison that he drank during samudra mathanam.┬а As Devi originated from the Kaalakoota/ halahala poison,


thus the name Kaali. Mariamman is believed to be a form of Kaali, and is also known as Mahamayi. It is also believed that Maharaja Dasharatha offered his prayers here.

Mariamman is Parashakti herself who blesses with prosperity and she is believed to cure all diseases.


Paramashiva, Mahavishnu and Brahma Deva are believed to have taken blessings of Mariamman here.

This day was inevitable. Indian Muslims always lived in La La Land. They bad mouthed real well wishers & slept with the enemy who never considered them as part of them. In Gulf, Indian Muslims were busy with Javed Akhtar & Sonu Nigam. Never interacted with South Asian diaspora

Now when Indian Muslims are thrown to wolves itтАЩs Pakistani & Bangladeshi Muslims with whom they kept distance are the only ones feeling their pain. None of the people who they invited for Eid Milan. Qawali & Mushaira are there for them. Such people invoke wrath upon themselves

Indian Muslims never spoke for Kashmiri Muslims. Distancing from separatist was understandable but we never even bothered to highlight their human rights violation & rapes carried out by forces. We could have sent them humanitarian help we didnтАЩt. Our silence made us complicit.

When Sania Mirza married Shoaib Malik it was something legal. A Muslim married another Muslim. Entire Hindutva media went after her. They launched a witch-hunt for months. No Indian Muslim stood by her. All were silent. Now days come when Muslims are arrested for marrying a Hindu

Indian Muslims particularly the elite downplayed communalism in India by saying it will pass or Hindu majority is good. Fringe are bad. They misguiding others. Muslims were always others. Indians were happy to see Muslims sing & dance & eat their food but never considered as own
