@sciencegirl She was only 22, yet she understood the danger immediately and quietly protected vulnerable passengers. Her quick thinking with the passports may have prevented the hijackers from identifying their targets.
Neerja Bhanot was a 22 year old flight attendant on a hijacked plane, Pan Am Flight 73 on 5 September 1986 during a stopover
The terrorists demanded her to collect the passports of all the passengers, intending to identify the Americans among them.
Recognising the danger this posed, she and her fellow attendants under her charge hid the passports of the American passengers, some under seats and others down a garbage chute, making it difficult for the hijackers to distinguish between nationalities.
As the hijacking stretched on for 17 hours the terrorists eventually resorted to violence by opening fire and setting off explosives. Chaos erupted inside the aircraft
Neerja opened one of the airplane doors, and even though she could have been the first one to escape from the aircraft, she did not do so and instead started helping the other passengers and unaccompanied children. That is when she was caught and her courage was met with extreme cruelty. She was killed.
Neerja's actions saved many lives.
In addition to saving the lives of many hostages, Neerja Bhanot also helped prevent the plane from getting off the ground
A young child on board, who was just seven years old at the time, grew up to become a captain for a major airline. He credits Neerja as his inspiration, acknowledging that he owes every day of his life to her
A video of a child or adult being raped is not pornography; itโs a filmed crime scene. When that crime scene footage is monetized online, it also becomes tech-facilitated sex trafficking, because commercialization is what turns rape into trafficking.
Khomeiniโs system raped virgin girls the night before execution so they wouldnโt go to heaven as virgins.
That is on the record.
Today more women sit on death row in the same prisons.
They cannot speak. You can.

Donโt let them disappear into those basements.
A 30-year Minnesota State Trooper just won the GOP nomination to take on Ilhan Omar.
John Nagel. Lifelong Minnesotan. Husband, father, grandfather. Spent three decades protecting people on the highways.
Now heโs running to restore safety, sanity, and accountability in MN-5.
Omarโs district has become ground zero for massive fraud. Voters are fed up.
Nagel vs. Omar. November 3.
Does he have your support? I canโt vote but hell yea. Vote her out.
One of my buddyโs sons skipped college and became an electrician at 18.
He was told either college or military were his only two options.
His parents werenโt exactly excited when he went to trade school. Actually they were a little embarrassed.
Most of their friendsโ kids were going off to universities. Their son was showing up to job sites at 6am.
By 21 he was making $90k
By 24 he had his master electrician license making over $120k
At 27 he started taking his own jobs on the side for a total of $200k
Last year at 29 his little โelectrician businessโ did $1.8M with 4 vans.
Funny how that works.
His parents used to explain why he didnโt go to college.
Now they tell everyone he owns an electrical company.
We need more 18-year-olds to know this path exists.
Day 229 tagging @mikeroweworks until more parents start bragging about trade school too.
Consider to RT if you agree.
The demonization of the jock and popularization of "nerd winning cheerleader smokeshow with his personality" was actually a massive media attempt to shame and cuck Anglo Saxon athleticism and small town heroism.
My sister in law works as a paramedic. 24 hour shifts sometimes back to back.
Makes $19 an hour.
Told me last week she watched a coworker get physically assaulted by a patientโs family member and still had to finish the call before getting checked out herself.
Meanwhile a hospital administrator two floors up makes $310,000 a year and has never touched a patient.
We pay the people saving lives less than we pay the people managing the spreadsheet about the people saving lives.
๐ป THE PHARMA REP WHO SAW THE LIST.
"I sold cancer drugs for 11 years. I made $340,000 a year convincing doctors to prescribe treatments I knew didn't work. Then one night, I saw the list. And I understood everything."
I was a senior sales representative for one of the top three pharmaceutical companies in the world. I won't name them yet. My lawyers are still working on my protection agreement under the Executive Order.
My job was simple: visit oncologists, buy them dinners, take them to conferences, and make sure they prescribed our chemotherapy drugs over the competitors. I was good at it. Top 1% nationally for seven consecutive years.
I never questioned it. The drugs had FDA approval. The doctors trusted me. The patients trusted them. The system worked โ for everyone except the patients.
In November 2024, I was at a private dinner in Manhattan with three executives from my company. We had closed a $1.2 billion hospital network contract. Champagne. Cigars. The usual.
One of the executives left his phone on the table when he went to the bathroom. A notification popped up. It was an encrypted message. The preview read:
"Updated K-List attached. 2,847 names added this quarter. Confirm receipt."
I didn't touch the phone. But I remembered the term. K-List.
Over the next three months, I quietly asked around. Most people had never heard of it. But one senior colleague โ a man who had been with the company for 30 years โ went pale when I mentioned it.
He pulled me into a stairwell and said:
"The K-List is the kill list. It's every patient whose insurance profile makes them more profitable dead than alive. Long-term treatment patients who are about to hit their coverage cap. If they die before the cap, the company collects the full treatment cycle payment. If they live past it, the insurance stops paying and we lose money."
I said: "Are you telling me we let people die for billing optimization?"
He said: "We don't let them die. We make sure the treatment doesn't work well enough to save them. The dosing protocols are calibrated. Not to kill. Just to not cure."
I went home that night and threw up for an hour.
2,847 names added in one quarter. Four quarters a year. For how many years?
The math is simple. And the math is murder.
I resigned in January 2025. I took nothing with me except what I remembered. But when Executive Order 2026-1947 was signed, I contacted a lawyer. The NDA protections are dissolving. The whistleblower provisions are active.
I am one of dozens preparing to testify.
The pharmaceutical industry doesn't just suppress cures. It engineers death on a schedule. And every single executive knows it.
The K-List is real. The names on it are real. And in 34 days, the world will see it.

One year ago today, Iryna Zarutska was murdered.
This image of Iryna, terrified and in tears, as she realizes what had just happened to her and that the next few moments will be her last, tears my soul apart.
In the midst of everything thatโs going on, donโt forget about her.
This is another Iranian woman who is about to be executed soon.
Every morning I write about someone Iran has just executed; within minutes, a message arrives from a mother, a sister, a friend, begging me to write about their loved one on death row. Before it's too late.
That's why I want to write before this young woman's execution, not after. Arghavan Fallahi. 24 years old. Evin Prison. Sentenced to death.
Judge Salavati, one of Iran's most notorious executioner judges, sentenced her on the charge of "Baghi," armed rebellion.
For months in solitary confinement, she was subjected to severe psychological torture and pressure to extract forced confessions. But she refused. So they sentenced her to death anyway.
Fellow female prisoners who were with Arghavan inside Evin say her situation is urgent. The torture has left her with severe psychological trauma and physical illness. She's not only facing the death sentence, she's suffering right now, inside that cell. But she's still alive and there's still time to save her life.
Please, join me and help us Iranians say her name now and demand that the international community and world leaders pressure that republic to halt her execution and those of other political prisoners.
