The Roedean antisemitism scandal has shaken Johannesburg, the broader country, and sent ripples of shock around the world.
I want to tell you what happened, why it happened, and what we must all do to make sure that it never happens again.
And you wonder why there are travel warnings abroad? Do NOT visit South Africa!
A Russian tourist in Cape Town, South Africa, who had just escaped a robbery at the beach, sought safety by approaching a police roadblock in Bloubergstrand. Instead, she was subjected to a brutal assault by law enforcement officers (SAPS or metro police), who also reportedly robbed her of valuables. She was later arrested on charges of assaulting an officer.
The incident shattered her sense of security, turning what should have been a refuge into further trauma.
Imagine delving into the dusty archives of ancient Mesopotamia, where clay tablets reveal a mathematical sophistication that outshines classical Greece by more than a millennium.Around 1770 BCE, Babylonian scholars carefully inscribed tablet IM 67118 with a clever geometric challenge: determining the sides of a rectangle given its area and diagonal. Their solution explicitly employs what we now know as the Pythagorean theorem—verifying that a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2a^2 + b^2 = c^2
—all calculated in their brilliant base-60 (sexagesimal) system. This very system lives on in our 60-minute hours, 60-second minutes, and 360-degree circles.Even older, the renowned Plimpton 322 tablet from around 1800 BCE lists dozens of Pythagorean triples, such as 3-4-5. These sets were generated systematically, likely serving as teaching tools for scribes or practical aids for land surveying and astronomy.This was no abstract theory: the knowledge powered real-world tasks like dividing fields, constructing buildings, and tracking the stars. These artifacts dismantle the long-held notion that advanced geometry began with Pythagoras (who lived around 570 BCE). Instead, they unveil a vibrant Mesopotamian mathematical tradition—practical, precise, and profoundly influential—that laid the deep foundations for the modern STEM https://t.co/qbIBkMNqug the cradle of civilization, numbers were not mere tools; they were the keys to unlocking the secrets of the world.
I am making a list of foreign journalists who are willing to enter Hamas-controlled areas of Gaza without Hamas's permission. I want to know who is brave enough to walk into Gaza City today and talk to locals on a live stream. I have zero names so far. Please retweet to help me.
This is the video that triggered @Senzo_Mchunu_ to the extent that my home was raided by the Hawks and I was investigated under Crimes Against the State. What a pity it would be if everybody were to repost it 😇
My friend. This the last white woman with honor and courage in all western civilization. Please help me get her contact so I raise money for her, hire best lawyer help her be free.
I give anyone that connect me with this courage white woman $1k USD.
