Key Facts Everyone is Missing on 131st Amendment

FACT 1: The freeze ushered in on the Lok Sabha seats through the 42nd Amendment and 84th Amendment, lasting 50 years (25 and 25), ends in 2026. A new freeze for whatever number of years will also need a constitutional amendment.
FACT 2: The BJP is in no mood to extend the freeze. Amit Shah, citing the Vajpayee Government's 84th amendment, made it clear last evening. Therefore, those assuming that BJP will go for an extension of freeze after the fall of the 131st in the Lok Sabha are fooling themselves.
FACT 3: To increase the seats from 543 to 816, a constitutional amendment is necessary. Even after the freeze is over, as it will require amending Article 81, and that is where the opposition believes it has the BJP on the back foot. However, that's only one side of the coin.

🇦🇺🇨🇦🚨‼️ “RUSSIAN” DISINFORMATION GROUP EXPOSED

The famous “Storm” disinformation group consists of mainly 2 people, as far as I can see.

1) Gerry Nolan, “The owner of the Islander”
2) Aussie Cossack (I assume was just a useful idiot)

-> I instructed everyone who is helping me or is in any way associated with me not to associate with them.

Pic 1: Telegram admin tells Gerry Nolan to stop messaging us. He is helping me with content submissions by followers.

Pic 2: Gerry Nolan brags about being associated with “shadow RT”

Pic 3: X profile of Gerry “The Islander” Nolan

Pic 4: Gerry offering clean footage so I can put my watermark on it and be one of the first or the first to post it.

The way this whole disinformation group operates is simple. They film footage, as far as I understood in Canada, distribute it via DMs to accounts and give them an exclusive story. People are desperate for content and are excited to post a new story.

Gerry uses this and distributes the fakes to all kinds of accounts so they post it first. In that way he manages to stay in the background without grabbing attention for a while.

After Aussie Cossack was banned on X, he made a second account on X and wrote to me.

1) Aussie asked me to post a fake video of Chancellor Merz killing seals.

2) I ignored him, as it was an obvious fake and by then I had stopped taking any submissions that were political.

3) A month later, when DW went after everyone who posted this fake, I confronted him and told him to buzz off.

4) I know it was Aussie because the Ko-fi account that subscribed to me literally says Aussie Cossack.

I have stopped taking any donations. I removed the Ko-fi and other donation requests a while ago. It’s easier that way.

PS: Aussie Cossack, according to my guess, was the main distributor for Gerry and hence a useful idiot. He wanted to be a fancy influencer and information warrior. But maybe I’m wrong and he’s deeper in.Image

GERMAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE

1) Under another account, they asked me to post a fake video of a girl accusing Robert Habeck, German VP, of rape. I told them no.

2) This video is listed as “Storm 1516” operation by German media.

If you want to prove I’m related to Storm, then this is quite literally the problem in the logic. I told them to fuck off multiple times and even removed donations so nobody can use this to get into my DMs.Image

Will Rumen Radev, the former air force general and likely winner of Bulgaria’s parliamentary election this Sunday, known for his pro-Russian stands and opposition to military support for Ukraine, become “Europe´s new Viktor Orbán”? Short answer: No. Long answer: No, but. ⬇️ Image
Image
Image
Image
The basics: Rumen Radev, a former fighter pilot and air force general whose military training began back in the days of the Warsaw Pact, and who served as Bulgaria’s president from 2016 until January 2026, will in all likelihood win Bulgaria’s parliamentary election this Sunday.
Polls suggest that Radev’s three-party alliance, “Progressive Bulgaria,” founded just weeks ago, will emerge as the strongest force with about 30% of the vote. For years, Radev has also been Bulgaria’s most popular politician in the polls – or at least the least unpopular one.

This is a photograph of Albert Einstein with an unassuming Indian man you probably haven’t heard enough about. He spent his life working on one idea: women should be able to live with dignity and make their own choices. Thread.

1/14 Image
His name was Maharshi Dhondo Keshav Karve. Karve was born in 1858 in Ratnagiri. He was a pioneering Indian social reformer, educator, and mathematics professor recognized for championing women's education and widow remarriage.

2/14 Image
At that time, widows in India had very few options. Many were expected to live a restricted life, without education or the chance to remarry.

This was widely accepted as normal.

HOW ONE MAN REVIVED A NATION
The population pyramid of Kazakhstan is unlike any other in the world. Birthrate decline was stopped and reversed, even as the country grew rich.

Nursultan Nazarbayev led 🇰🇿 for 27 years from its founding in 1991 and got it to grow again! 🧵! Image
Image
Image
Kazakhstan's population pyramid inverted in the mid 1980s as the number of births declined sharply and fertility fell below replacement in the 1990s.

But then births sharply recovered and Kazakhstan experienced a baby boom lasting almost 30 years even as it's GDP grew 15x! 2/7 Image
Image
The father of his country, Nazarbayev was incredibly popular, with an approval rate of around 90% through most of his long presidency.

On December 12, 1995, Nazarbayev introduced the Altyn Alka and Kumis Alka awards for mothers of many children. A pronatal culture was forged. 3/ Image

GRECE is a European New Right think tank led by Alain de Benoist. It promotes a white International, paganism, & a rejection of Christianity. In the 90s, GRECE allied with Russia's Red-Brown alliance & Aleksandr Dugin, who called for a "Third Empire" against American capitalism. Image

GRECE had a specific interest in Germanic and Nordic neopaganism, and whose leaders called for fidelity to the “white Aryan ideal” and the formation of an “International of the white race” to “reassert the place of the white man in the world.”

Even the greatest warriors of the Mahabharata broke rules…
And it wasn’t a mistake.

Arjuna. Bhima. Yudhishthira.
Each crossed the line at the right moment.

Because Dharma isn’t black or white—
it evolves with time & truth.
