The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent

Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

Approaching the matter as "deprogramming", as presented in this article, presumes that the adoption of a set of beliefs must displace participation in others. But what is patently contradictory to the outsider can be comfortably combined by the believer.
Hagan is right about the iterative loops but those should include how the believer understands the effort to be deprogrammed by others as further confirmation of their own calculations. Many believers are emotionally intelligent, in some cases, more than those who would challenge them.
The point about concentrating upon the personal is well taken but what makes the structure so formidable is the arrogance permitted by means of it. The problem of how to answer arrogance without more arrogance is very old. I would have thought it would be easier by now.

That whole sociality through golf is a thing and reminds me of sad things in my past.
But it is not a cult.
We need more words.

Treason? Blackmail? Extortion?
Something ain't right with Smartech
And I imagine a lot of people got used to being extorted the last years.

kinda related theory: how QAnon adherents and similar type thinking evolved and grew since the 80's I see the common thread as "you just can't trust the government, somebody is ripping us all off" and then throw in "it's the media too" with the growth of partisan media. so it ends up with belief in libertarianism one way or another, there's only you to take care of yourself and take control. Which was also popular in "new age" as far as mental and physical help--those crystals, yoga, meditation, et. al.could do more than any of those M.D.'s...
