@Badass1ZQ1 In other news. Taliban have banned womanhood. It is a crime to be a woman in Afghanistan now. Taliban spokesperson (who only goes by one name) said " We don't need women. We only need boys"...
@Soniatalhasiddz Mongols killed so many afghans, that there is a genetic bottleneck resulting from that event. Which means Afghans today are inbred morons...
Didn't mean to offend. I'm just a student of history and folklore. The west (if it makes you happy) had its own such traditions.
Romans could legally get rid of unwanted infants (mostly girls) by abandoning them in forests. A practice called inhumation.
Human cultural progress has been far from pretty...
@chuenghy@mkatju Are yar, Spice garden dekhna hai, maybe ring the bell at Shri Mahadeva temple. I heard the beaches are pristine. Yes normalization would be awesome...
Exposing the Taliban's Global Intelligence Propaganda Machine
This week several of Taliban’s spies tied to the Taliban General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI) 015 Directorate were exposed. They are only a small part of a much larger influence operation.
Led by Mohammad Khalil Hamzar, the GDI's 015 Directorate oversees the Taliban's media and propaganda apparatus in coordination with the 033 Directorate. It recruits and pays journalists, social media influencers, and activists inside Afghanistan and abroad including both in the U.S. and Europe to amplify Taliban narratives, attack critics, divide the opposition, influence foreign public opinion, and collect on those critical of the Taliban.
The network includes Al Mersad, Hurriyat Radio, Yad, Misaq, Hindukush, Urooj, Afghan Voice, Afghanistan in Arabic, Nunn asia, Voice of Sharia, Radio Omid, and reportedly extends across roughly 200 media outlets. There are more than 1,200 journalists, influencers, and propagandists recruited as spies who are paid by GDI’s 015.
Every share, repost, interview, or citation has the potential to amplify a terrorist organization's information operation. Know the source before you engage or amplify the message. Don't hand the Taliban an advantage in the information domain. They think they're smarter than the rest of us. They're not.
Beautiful place. Please keep an eye on your purse though. There are some expert thieves living around Venice.
A few years ago ( I was living right outside of Venice in Malcontenta) the Doge Palace had an exhibition of the Qatari collection of Mughal Jewels. 2 of the jewels worth about $8 Million were stolen and never recovered...
Why do Qataris have the biggest collection of Mughal jewellery??
