My X account was hacked recently. I lost access and control for some weeks. Eventually X reinstated me but I lost all of my followers. Most are unknowingly following the old account. I am reassembling my followers here. Could I ask for this to be RT to inform the X community pse.

@Mpolymer …unless he is trying to interfere with the election by declaring a national emergency. He seemed to focus on Ukraine’s inability to hold elections during times of war.

In 1992, Boris Yeltsin admitted the Soviets had a BW program. Months later, Frank Wisner — then Under Sec State — led a US delegation to Moscow to press Russia to come clean on its biological warfare program. Russia never did so.

What’s important in Wisner’s declassified speaking points (below) is the heavy emphasis on Russia’s plague weapons, including work on “genetic engineering and other techniques” & “to make plague bacteria resistant to antibiotics, and to make the agent more suitable for weaponization.”

The Irkusk institute is not mentioned by name, but rather indirectly as part of “the former USSR's anti-plague infrastructure” where agents were developed for biological warfare (p.4).

It is important that Russia release the details on what pathogen killed Dariya Shipilova, & whether offensive BW activities continue at the Irkutsk lab where she worked.

Xi has this look on his face:

Record scratch.

Freeze frame.

Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation."

Has anyone ever apologized to Mitt Romney who warned “Russia is without question our number one geopolitical foe,”?

NEW: 🇵🇱 In Poland, concrete slabs were found on railway tracks near Stoczek Łukowski in the Lublin Voivodeship on Tuesday evening, causing two freight trains traveling in opposite directions to hit the obstacles. One of the trains was carrying fuel and reportedly came close to derailing.

The impact damaged the front scrapers of both locomotives, but neither train derailed and no one was injured. Rail traffic was suspended for several hours as emergency services secured the area.

Police, CBŚP, ABW, counterterrorism officers and a prosecutor were deployed to the scene. No explosives were found, although electrical wires and a connector were also discovered nearby.

Authorities are investigating how the concrete slabs ended up on the tracks.

Their size suggests that more than one person may have been needed to put them on the tracks.

Joe Rogan suddenly acting like he was an innocent bystander for years and had no idea what Trump was all about until now and did nothing to help get him elected is pretty weak and pathetic. Just own it.

There is something almost classical about watching America's decline through Trump.

The Greeks had a word for it: hubris.

Followed, always and without exception, by nemesis.

The country that told the world it was the "indispensable nation."

The country that maintained 800 military bases in 80 countries.

The country that redesigned the global financial system in its own image at Bretton Woods and then spent eight decades using access to that system as a weapon against anyone who disobeyed.

The country that called this "freedom."

Now watching its own cities rot. Its own bridges collapse. Its own citizens die of preventable diseases because the money that should have built hospitals and schools and water treatment infrastructure was spent maintaining the architecture of global domination that was supposed to make America great.

The empire ate the republic.

It ate it from the inside, slowly, over decades, diverting every resource toward the maintenance of power abroad while the foundations at home quietly failed.

And now the republic is screaming at the wreckage and calling the scream a plan.

Hubris. Nemesis. It arrives on schedule.

It always does.

I am a proud US citizen and founder of a successful startup that employs 94 employees in the US and 180+ employees globally. I was in Dubai on a business trip meeting with financial institutions to help them fight financial fraud in the region, but now I am stranded.

I expected the @usgov to do something to get US citizens out but I haven't seen any meaningful action.

After 4 days of adrenalin and constant fear, I feel demoralised and abandoned by our government. It’s difficult watching other countries – UK, Israel, Spain, Italy and India – repatriate their citizens or ensure that commercial flights continue operating to bring them home.

I became a naturalized US citizen because I believe in the American dream, and the idea that in a crisis, America never leaves its citizens behind. I see that American dream being shattered not just for me, but for tens of thousands of other Americans left stranded.

I have 3 requests of our government:

1. Can the @usgov ensure the commercial airlines don't cancel US bound flights? I've booked a dozen flights to leave Dubai and ALL of them got canceled, even as flights to other countries continue operating.

2. If that is not possible, can the USG organize planes, commercial or military, to evacuate Americans out of Dubai and the surrounding region?

I saw a very hopeful note from the Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs which states, “the US State Dept is in touch with 3,000 Americans and that we should call 1-202-501-4444 for assistance with departure options.”

But that is unfortunately not accurate. I am enrolled in Step and have only received generic messages. Further, on calling that number, the message you get is:

"Please don't rely on the USG for assisted departure or evacuation at this point. There are currently no evacuation flights at this time."

3. With funding cuts to the US consulates and with attacks on US embassies in the region, there’s no one that Americans can reach out to in the broader GCC region.

Can we set up an emergency hotline within the US that actually works, and that has someone who is taking down more details?

@SecRubio just stated that there are 1500 Americans who have contacted asking for assistance to evacuate. How did they do that because I am completely at a loss on who to call? I called up 1-202-501-4444 and all I got is a generic message.

Myself and other Americans need help getting back home.
