BREAKING: The Academic Senate has voted to censure President Carol Folt and Provost Andrew Guzman, citing "widespread dissatisfaction and concern among the faculty" about USC's handling of controversies related to Israel's war in Gaza.
The resolution, approved 21-7 with six abstentions, also "endorses the immediate creation of a task force" that would produce a public report investigating those controversies and "associated administrative decisions and communication."
Among the events listed were the banning of Professor John Strauss from campus, the cancellation of Asna Tabassum's valedictory address and the main commencement ceremony, and the encampment protest that twice faced law enforcement shutdowns.

Jews and the Feminist Movement
Thread 🧵: Image
The extreme Jewish overrepresentation behind the feminist movement is an undeniable fact. Just by examining the Wikipedia numbers and comparing them to the religious population percentage, Jews are overrepresented by approximately ~28000%! Image
Modern feminism, especially “Second-wave feminism” was created and led almost entirely by Jewish feminists. The book by Betty (Goldstein) Friedan, “The Feminine Mystique” is credited with sparking the “second wave” of American feminism. Image

A year ago 5 (40+ year old) sorority sisters planned a trip to Turks and Caicos.

Two days before the trip one of the Sisters who had recently “recovered” from Covid experienced extreme pain in her calf and went to Urgent Care. 1/11
She concluded that the pain may be from working out but she was advised to go to the ER for imaging.

She went home instead.

Hours later, she had a pulmonary embolism and fell into a coma. 2/11
Although the group trip was insured for “any cause rebooking,” and everyone could have rebooked at a later date. They did not…citing that continuing their plans is what the Sister in the coma would have wanted. 😳 3/11

How many of you know about Anglo - Indian Reservation in Parliament???

Long Thread

Well this thread will be eye opener as it will expose the nefarious nexus of Jawahar Lal Nehru and @INCIndia with Britishers and how Gurukul Education system was systematically eradicated from Bharat….

Anglo - Indian Community:

During the period of British rule in India, children born to unions between British and Indian parents from the 17th century onwards formed the basis of the Anglo-Indian community.

This new ethnic group formed a small yet significant portion of the population and became well represented in certain administrative roles.

At the time of independence in 1947 to about 125,000–150,000 but after 1947 most of the people from Anglo - Indian Community migrated from India…

At present the number is believed to be less than 500 people…
History:

The first use of "Anglo-Indian" was to describe all British people who lived in India. People of mixed British and Indian descent were referred to as "Eurasians".

Terminology changed over in 17th and 18th Century and the group called "Anglo-Indians".

The community originated soon after 1639 when the British East India Company established a settlement in Madras.

The community identified itself with and was accepted by the British until 1791…

In 1791 the Anglo-Indians were excluded from positions of authority in the civil, military and marine services in the East India Company.

1857 :

During the 1857 First War of Independence the Anglo-Indians sided with the British and in return consequently received favoured treatment from the British Government in preference to other Indians, serving in large numbers in the strategic services of the railways, the postal and telegraph services, and customs.
1919:

By 1919 the community had become extremely powerful and it secured a permanent representation for itself in the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi.

The English-speaking Anglo-Indians at that time identified themselves with the British against Congress…

1926 :

The All India Anglo-Indian Association was founded in 1926 and since then it has long represented the interests of this ethnic group…

It believed that Anglo-Indians were unique in that they are Christians, speak English as their mother tongue, and have a historical link to both the Britishers and the Indian sub-continent.

1942 :

In 1942, Frank Anthony was elected the president-in-chief of the community of the All India Anglo-Indian Association and he would for next 5 Decades reshape the entire perspective of the Anglo- Indian Community until his death in 1993…

🧵Thread🧵

I’m sure you’ve all seen the protests and attendant anti-Semitism at many elite American universities. What you may not be aware of is the hypocrisy in how schools have handled them.

Do you remember what these places said about protests in 2020? I’ve got receipts. ⤵️
We’ve gotta start with @Columbia, given their central role in this drama.

In 2020, the university pledged to change how campus police operated, and said protests were part of a “heightened state of consciousness” on race & were driving the “revitalization of American democracy.”


Image

Image
That, unsurprisingly, led @Columbia to embrace defunding the police on their website, citing a professor.

It’s hard to square that sentiment with calling in police in riot gear to rough up students on campus, @Columbia.

While I'm addressing some incorrect AB opinions, I'll tackle another, which is the mistaken view that Alberta pays for or into equalization. The province does not. Taxpayers do and they pay the same taxes across Canada. /2 #cdnpoli
2/ The sources of equalization funds are *federal* personal and corporate taxes, GST, EI, excise, duties, federal rents, etc. One can go to any provincial balance sheet and see inflows of federal transfers but no outflows to the federal government. /3
3/ In fact, at one point when oil prices were very low (2015/6), Alberta was receiving more in federal transfers than it was from the province's natural resources (oil, gas, coal, mining, forestry, etc.). /4

@MatanField @DigitalEdward @artbrock @fer_ananda @marycamacho @dcaworld @helioscomm Hey Matan,
It's been a few years since we last chatted. I'd be happy to jump on a call to dive in deeper, but a quick version would be:
1) with each holochain application, the communication channel itself is commonly held. It is literally a commons run by the participants.
@MatanField @DigitalEdward @artbrock @fer_ananda @marycamacho @dcaworld @helioscomm 2) because the applications are peer-to-per and agent centric (you could think of them as people centered applications), interoperability between apps comes free. Anything I can read out of one app, I can write into another. I (as a peer in both apps) am the bridge. Not some API.
@MatanField @DigitalEdward @artbrock @fer_ananda @marycamacho @dcaworld @helioscomm 3) Holochain apps strike an interesting balance between group and individual: they are opt-in social spaces, but that invite participants to extend them, customize the UI, or even fork the app and try something slightly (or radically) different.

NEW: UCSF's (@UCSF @UCSF_IHPS) Dr. Jack Turban (@jack_turban) claimed at @theDPUnion debate that the Cass-related systematic reviews found moderate quality evidence that puberty blockers improve mental health.

In a new article, I explain why this claim is false.

⬇️⬇️⬇️
2/ First, Turban confuses quality of studies with quality of evidence. These are distinct concepts in evidence-based medicine, and any clinician opining on the evidence base of medical treatments should understand the difference.
3/ Quality of studies has to do with risk of bias in research. Quality of evidence has to do with our confidence in the estimate of the effects of an intervention on outcomes of interest.

The new TMX pipeline is now operating, triggering a major increase in tankers in Burrard Inlet.
But a credible emergency response plan to protect human health + safety if a major oil spill happens in Vancouver’s Burrard Inlet does not exist.
@CAPE_ACME
/1

cape.ca/press_release/…
If an Aframax tanker spills 2/3 of its 600,000-barrel load and only 0.5% reaches shore, 25,000+ people will need immediate evacuation, and 105,000+ if the explosive cargo ignites.
Fire- and smoke-related mass casualties would be expected.

CIA - Gina Haspel
re: James O'Keefe expose'

"Gina Haspel and the CIA withheld information from President Trump"

more here: Course in Intelligence
gregrubini.thinkific.com/courses/intell…
2) Let's listen to what the ambushed CIA officer said:

Amjad Fseisi:
"We (the CIA) kept information from Trump"
"Gina Haspel did."

Gina Haspel was the CIA Director from May 2018 to Jan. 2021
3) James O'Keefe:
"Gina Haspel blocked the release of a binder that was exposing herself and the CIA in the fabricated Russian Collusion hoax"

correct.
