President of Mexico demands apology from Spain and the Pope:

"There were massacres... The so-called conquest was done with the sword and the cross. They raised churches on top of temples."

bbc.com/news/world-lat…
A most horrific episode of the conquest of Mexico was that ALL their books were destroyed (just 3 or 4 survived)

"Aztec codices were burned by the Spaniards for their pagan religious content, and by Aztec kings in an effort to rewrite their history."

Bishop de Landa "was determined to wipe out all knowledge of the Mayan religion, and saw the Mayan language and hieroglyphs as a key.

"In 1699, Spanish soldiers burned a town that had the last school of scribes. By 1720, not a single person could read."

The greatest scientists have been inspired by Vedanta classics. This is because the Veda puts the subject smack in the middle of the scientific question.

The world is not merely dead particles swirling around; consciousness is the central mystery.

André Weil (1906 – 1998) famous for number theory & algebraic geometry claimed to have read the Bhagavad Gita in Sanskrit by age 16. Here’s his famous quote on discovery in mathematics:

"Nothing is more fruitful—all mathematicians know it—than those obscure analogies, ...

..."those disturbing reflections of one theory on another; those furtive caresses, those inexplicable discords; nothing also gives more pleasure to the researcher. The day comes when this illusion dissolves: the presentiment turns into certainty; .."

Jagadis Chandra Bose developed wireless communication, discovered millimeter length electromagnetic waves and was a pioneer in the field of biophysics.

The receiver that Marconi used to send the first transatlantic wireless signal was invented by Bose.

I trust that it's well known that JC Bose is also considered the father of semiconductors.

Nevill Mott (Nobel Prize 1977): "J.C. Bose was at least 60 years ahead of his time. In fact, he had anticipated the existence of P-type and N-type semiconductors."

hackaday.com/2016/01/19/j-c…
Most significantly, JC Bose attempted the creation of science based on Vedantic principles.

This fact is not widely known, and look here for details (personally I think this approach will be of value in current science as well): digitalcommons.trinity.edu/cgi/viewconten…

Kailāsa temple is one of the greatest architectural marvels of the world since it was carved out of one single rock and also for its sculptural treatment.

So many wonders about it!

How did the architect represent the problem of removal of rock?

What kind of charts were used?
As an engineering and architectural masterpiece, it is without parallel in the world.

It was executed straight from the head with zero margin for error.

Did the architect, Kokasa, use drawings?

It should be in the Top 5 places to visit in the world.
If Maharashtra does not have a tourism promotional campaign around art/architecture masterpieces of the likes of Kailasa Temple of Ellora and Ajanta, it needs to get one.

Everyone has questions about #Democrat #Corruption now. Why won't top #Democrats consider building the Wall? We should ask my frmr boss and friend, past DHS Sec. Janet Napolitano. That's her with #Mexico Pres. Enrique Peña Nieto. Forget about a handshake. That's a HUG, friends.
By now, everyone knows about a certain article that has been circulating in the press. It's no secret. #Mexico guys, don't be mad at me. You guys control a big piece of this newspaper. Your newspaper printed this article. Just going to leave it here. nytimes.com/2019/01/15/nyr…
Satire, anyone? "Democrats. We realized Trump was mopping the floor with your party. We realized you were weak at fundraising. Don't worry! Mexico has ample funding we can filter up to you, through 1,000 different clever methods!" Sadly, it's not necessarily far from the #TRUTH.

A multi-tweet thread on Potus' Oval Office message: 1) Saying there is a national security crisis on the border does a huge disservice to how the US & #Mexico have worked together since 9/11 to ensure our border is not used by terrorists to undermine our common security. 1/7
2) Per Customs and Border Protection data: CBP encountered only 6 #immigrants at Ports of Entry along the US-MEX border in the first half of FY2018 whose names were on a federal government list of known or suspected terrorists. 2/7
3) Overall, 41 people on the Terrorist Screening Database were encountered at the border with #Mexico from October 1, 2017, to March 31, 2018, BUT 35 of them were U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. Six were classified as non-U.S. persons. 3/7

Does AUSA Moira Kim Penza, prosecutor in the fed. #NXIVM #RICO criminal racketeering case, realize that her indictments of #NXIVM leader, Keith Raniere aka "Vanguard," last March, may have affected the outcome of the 2018 Mexican Presidential Election? #ArizonaMafia #Democrats
Moira Kim Penza is 1 of the main prosecutors in the federal #NXIVM #RICO criminal case. A #RICO case is very serious; it is 1 of the most complex types of prosecutions the U.S. Government can initiate. Moira's boss is Richard P. Donoghue, U.S. Atty for the Eastern District of NY.
Penza is a smart lawyer. According to publicly available information, she studied at Cornell Law School, a private Ivy League University located in Ithaca, New York. Cornell was ranked the #13 law school in America, out of 203 law schools, by U.S. News & World Report, in 2018.

If the knee doesn't bend then this will likely be the result for more exposed pedophiles to come.
