Ass backwards. Germans oversaw and came up with the Armenian genocide. Let's go.
🧵(1/8)
The Germans, in the early 20th century, aimed to take control of the oil fields in Mesopotamia, establish a direct trade route to the eastern colonies, and, most importantly, challenge British economic dominance by bypassing the Suez Canal under British and French control. For this reason, in 1903, they began constructing a railway that would provide a direct land connection from Berlin to Basra. The financing, engineering, and construction of this ambitious venture were primarily provided by the German Empire through Deutsche Bank and the Philipp Holzmann company.
During this process, a decision was also made to collaborate with Germany for the modernization of the army. Consequently, a strong German presence was felt in the logistical networks and the military. In 1914, following the secret alliance between Talat, Enver, and Halil Pashas and Germany, the Ottoman Empire made a bomb-like entry into the war by bombarding a Russian port. Talat Pasha would later write in his memoirs that this was essential for modernization. (Source: Alan Woods, The First World War: A Marxist Analysis of the Great Slaughter (2019) ch. 8)
Given the abundance of references to German memoirs, I will discuss some Germans who had a considerable influence during that period. I will not comment on the antecedents of the broader events surrounding them. However, while recounting this era in which Germans were formally partners in the administration, it would be a mistaken reading of history to present them merely as witnesses, so I see benefit in doing this.

(2/8) Major Sylvester Boettrich, as the head of the railway department of the Ottoman General Headquarters, signed at least one deportation order that resulted in the removal from duty and forced deportation of thousands of Armenians.
Boettrich actively obstructed the efforts of the Baghdad Railway Company to retain its Armenian employees, pursuing the rounding up of Armenians with an exaggerated zeal excessive enough to cause disruptions in operations. (Source: Sebastian Weber: Der Völkermord an den Armeniern: Die Rezeption der Armenischen Frage in Deutschland von 1894-1921. Diplomica. p. 30)
However, the same Boettrich this time claimed it would be more "efficient" by loading people into cattle cars and having babies (likely only newborns) thrown from the train on the grounds that they were reducing efficiency.

(3/8) Major Eberhard Graf Wolffskeel von Reichenberg destroyed a significant part of Urfa while shelling the Armenian monastery with artillery fire. The letter he wrote to his wife reads as follows:
"In the end, it went much faster than I had expected. [...] No other sounds of weapons were heard today. The city is still being searched for people in hiding, but in general, everything not killed is already in captivity. So far, the thing has been quite interesting and beautiful. In any case, now the unpleasant part is starting again. The deportation of the population and military courts."
– Letter to Countess Sofie-Henriette Wolffskeel von Reichenberg, 16 October 1915

As usual we start with Russian losses
1/x I'm getting asked how I can see that the ship is supposed to be at anchor. The anchor chain is not immediately visible, but you can still see the ship is at anchor. How so? It's something called "Lights and Shapes" from the COLREG. A small 🧵about shapes
2/x Back to our vessel. On the foremast you can see a black ball hanging. This is the ball mentioned in the COLREG - PART C-LIGHTS AND SHAPES - Rule 30
3/x Rule 30 says an anchored vessel should display a ball on the fore part. COLREG even gives the minimum size of such a ball.

Justice Bagchi: Top most civil servant was contacted by the Chief justice of high court. It makes no good case by saying we are not associated. All leaders need to condemn this in one voice. We are here to protect the special officers. Their orders are deemed to be orders of our court

1/8 What the LDL is going on ? "Because the presence of coronary artery disease can be associated with the proportion of small, dense LDL, we analysed the effect of statins on small, dense LDL subfractions in people without coronary artery disease. /2
2/8 Unexpectedly, in the analysis, the proportion of small, dense LDL was significantly higher in patients treated with statins. Moreover, there were no differences in CRP, plasma fibrinogen, HOMA–IR,BMI, or metabolic syndrome between the statin and control groups. /3
3/8 Therefore, we concluded that the increase in small, dense LDL proportion was influenced by statins but not by the other variables."
Well spotted👏. Upregulation of LDL receptor activity by statins decreases large, buoyant LDL more than small, dense LDL because statins /4

Covid Cicada and Cicada 3301 (Requested Decode)

There's a "Cicada" variant of COVID widely reported this week as rapidly spreading across the USA.
Its history dates back about a year and a half, but before I can decode a variant I have to address the original COVID...

I have to decode "Cicada" as a symbol and "COVID". I've already decoded COVID extensively here. and it was a global effort to force a new world order.
I suggest reading the thread if you aren't familiar with my decodes as it's one of my best.

Now I'll decode "Cicada" and they are famous for "years long-absences" before emerging and making noise. Some versions have 13 and 17 year isolation's before emerging.
I use "Isolation" in lieu of common terminology to describe as it hints at what is really being discussed.

Earlier today, a malicious actor gained unauthorized access to Drift Protocol through a novel attack involving durable nonces, resulting in a rapid takeover of Drift’s Security Council administrative powers.
This was a highly sophisticated operation that appears to have involved multi-week preparation and staged execution, including the use of durable nonce accounts to pre-sign transactions that delayed execution.
This was a highly sophisticated operation that appears to have involved multi-week preparation and staged execution, including the use of durable nonce accounts to pre-sign transactions that delayed execution.
Based on our investigation to date:
- This was not the result of a bug in Drift’s programs or smart contracts
- There is no evidence of compromised seed phrases
- The attack involved unauthorized or misrepresented transaction approvals obtained prior to execution, likely facilitated through durable nonce mechanisms and sophisticated social engineering
As a result, approximately $280M was withdrawn from the protocol.

As a result, approximately $280M was withdrawn from the protocol.
The attacker was able to:
- Pre-position access using durable nonce accounts
- Obtain sufficient multisig approvals (2/5 multisig approval)
- Execute a malicious admin transfer within minutes, gaining control of protocol-level permissions
- Use that control to introduce a malicious asset and remove all pre-set withdrawal limits attacking existing funds

- Obtain sufficient multisig approvals (2/5 multisig approval)

TODAY. Right now. In 2026. On Canadian farms and factories.
Workers sleeping 8 to a room, with no locks on the doors., and peeing in bottles because they can't leave their work stations.
Passports are being confiscated and cameras installed in their sleeping quarters.
Physical, sexual, and psychological abuse.
A woman from Cameroon who came to Canada to work on a farm said at a press conference in Montreal:
"I lived two years under slavery. An animal had more value than me."
The United Nations investigated. Amnesty International investigated. Both reached the same conclusion:
This isn't the case of a few bad employers. The system was designed this way.
This thread will show you who designed it, why, and who profits.

Last week, the United Nations published its review of Canada's human rights record.
Here's what they found:
The Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE)
(The ONE office in the country which investigates human rights abuse tied to Canadian corporate activity abroad in the mining, oil & gas, and garment sectors.)
has been vacant since 2025. Cases can no longer be processed.
And the Carney government is considering eliminating it entirely.

Artists in Japan express concern about new regulations, which could allow random strangers to apply for copyright ownership of your art.
It's called the "Unmanaged Works Adjudication System" (未管理著作物裁定制度) and went into effect yesterday

users are concerned this system will be abused, similar to how Youtube DMCA is abused in the West, with bot networks and wealthy agencies overwhelming independent artists that have no legal support
as with most regulations, it's subject to mis-interpretations, especially from dumb westerners like me, but I've tried my best to summarize the sentiment and concerns I'm seeing online. I'd like for acts like this to have more global scrutiny, so there's pressure on the regulators to provide more certainty and protection for artists.
I'm also worried that if regulations like this get adopted in Japan, it will create a precedent for them to be adopted globally. Protecting artists in Japan helps protect all of us.

We're in Week 5 of Trump's 2-week non-war. If we give the non-war war 2-3 more weeks it'll wrap up "weeks" ahead of schedule. Trump destroyed 100% of the 1/3rd of Iran's Navy that's non-IRGC and 0.5% of Iran's Army—i.e. all of it. Its nuke program exists *and* doesn't. Questions?
Tonight Trump explained that Iran was an imminent threat to destroy Israel because it never came close to doing so in 47 years. He explained that this non-war war is technically his third non-war war with Iran, as he won the first one in early 2020 by not fighting it. Questions?
Iran is both 10 years away from developing a missile that can hit America and also would have done so 10 years in the *past* if Trump didn't kill a guy. We know Iran has had its regime decapitated because it has the same president today it had before the war started. Questions?
