@trishankkarthik @jaffer_ali1 Even targeted surveillance didn't work. They missed a loooooooooot of stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

@Firsou @NachoOliveras @JeremyStunt @aledeniz @scmarco69 Not even Slavic/Balkan by any means. The center of gravity was Smyrna and the Agean. The real center was Alexandria 300 BC -> 400 AD, then again to a lesser extent 1840-1940, and the center Constantinople until 1880. Greeks are Anatolians who went a little, not much, West. — PolitiTweet.org

Those who were relying on correlation bonds-equity for "diversification" before the recent bond collapse were also warned: "Pension Funds Should Never Rely on Correlation", Nov 2021. https://t.co/uCDPSW7WIJ — PolitiTweet.org

@ByzLevant @tripoli187 Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence and @salam_rassi is making too strong a derivation from missing data. It is not RANDOM that they are found near old Kition which was Semitic speaking before the 7th C. BC. This is what I call a "Brownian Bridge" presumption. — PolitiTweet.org

@jaffer_ali1 2) If there was a surveillance state, it had to be totally incompetent. — PolitiTweet.org

Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb

@jaffer_ali1 A loooot of hype & misinformation around that. The information Snowden revealed proved there is NO surveillance state since it was neither effective nor useful except as anonymized macro data. On the other hand the info he gave the Russians (& maybe the Chinese) was destructive. — PolitiTweet.org

@omar_ghxd @imleslahdin @pmontu33 @GiorgiaMeloni Yes! Allah must not be a contraction of Al Elah since it is Alaha/Aloho/Allo in Aramaic which does not have indefinite pronouns. — PolitiTweet.org

I DO NOT TRUST @ggreenwald in general & here. There are fishy elements in @snowden's story he does not reveal. Also, @ggreenwald has been spinning for Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

Does Ron Paul know that the Ron Paul Institute is supporting the autocratic theocracy and calling for constraining the rights of women? 41 people have died in Iran so far. Have some respect! Have some decency! — PolitiTweet.org

2) An adversary is someone you respect (at least moderately) as a peer/same league. But those who suspect that you scorn them & scared of your harming their reputation will work obsessively on demonizing you. One fellow spent 23y obsessing, coupled w/steady professional descent. — PolitiTweet.org

@SaadMaan15 @saifedean Actually, it is interesting that the Greek-Orthodox Levantines have a different cuisine from Sunnis and even Maronites because of the 210 days of vegan fasts. — PolitiTweet.org

Some clarity. A personal enemy is the opposite of a friend, someone who doesn't like you personally & attack your ideas in order to disparage you,often w/inconsistencies (will still attack even if you flipped opinions). It's abt you. An adversary just has diverging interests. — PolitiTweet.org

Covidopaths share one thing: lack of intellect mixed w/desire to hurt others: e.g VC @mdvex22 and Berenson still can't get something as elementary as Simpson's Paradox (vaxxed tend to be older & have > risk factors than unvaxxed) & similar basic stuff. https://t.co/6GGE0MsB59 https://t.co/sHI6A6R0Rk — PolitiTweet.org

It is NOT a "hyperbole" to say that the US has never been more transparent in its history. It is precisely BECAUSE the US is transparent that we see flaws pointed out by whistleblowers. During the Hoover period nothing was coming out. Benign systems are self-correcting. #Idiots — PolitiTweet.org
