The hilarious pettiness of Supreme Leader -

Upset with my litigation against saheb, the PMO has asked the EPF office to block my hard-earned savings from being withdrawn.

I filed 6 applications over the past 1 month & they’ve all been “rejected” with no reason given. (1/4)
Multiple letters asking for clarification have met no response.

Finally got hold of someone from the EPF Delhi South office, confronted him & he said “Sir there’s orders from above to not release this. What can I do? I’ll lose my job”. (2/4)
I was withdrawing my savings to fund the medical expenses of my paralyzed police officer father - yup the same man who BJP tortured for 4 years until he was proven innocent.

As his dues have still been withheld by the Maharashtra govt, my savings were my only hope. (3/4)
Your pettiness is well known Modi ji but this takes the cake.

I hope that my meager petty PF savings help you fix the gaping hole in the economy that has resulted from your incompetence.

If u think this pettiness will stop me, you clearly underestimate me very much. (4/4)

There’s a little Anil Ambani cabal within the Congress consisting of a handful of people with vested interests.

This is one possible reason why Rahul Gandhi, unfortunately, ended up fighting alone when exposing the Rafale Scam while many of these people remained silent.

(1/4)
I’ve personally witnessed how anything involving Anil bhai is immediately buried without a whimper.

For them - all I want to say is that I joined the Congress not because of you but because of the inspiring leadership of Mr. Gandhi

(2/4)
The Congress party to me is FAR IMPORTANT than a handful of vested interests stalling people & betraying their trust.

If I can take on Modi, rest assured that you can’t stop me when I do what is necessary for the interest of my party.

Victory of #ABVP in #DUSUElection2019 shows that the BJP hate machine has planted its seeds firmly in campuses.

Incumbency helps - ppl *feel* that their ABVP campus leader may help them personally by seeking favors from their own BJP govt.

This vicious cycle must end (1/8)
And it’ll only end when ppl feel that the alternative party is powerful enough to lobby on their behalf & get things done.

Often, ppl throw in their lot with the oppressor because they feel that the alternative party might not have the clout to get things done for them.

(2/8)
For that, mere ideological lip service won’t work.

What ppl need to see is that the alternative - @nsui - can hit the streets, lobby the media, pressure the govt., & even hold the system hostage for students.

Projection of power (real or imagined) is the key (3/8)

I had submitted a report on the lynching of Tabrez Ansari in Jharkhand to the UN.

The UN had taken cognizance of the case & we were waiting to see what further action the police takes in that case.

The cops have, shockingly, dropped murder charges against all accused. (1/4)
This is something we’d feared all along. The judiciary can convict the mob lynchers only when the police do a proper investigation & present evidence.

In the case of Pehlu Khan, the police did the same - they botched up the case leading to acquittal of all the accused. (2/4)
I shall now be appealing to the UN again demanding that they request the Indian govt. to transfer the Tabriz Ansari case to the CBI.

Tabriz Ansari was lynched brutally. He received no medical help while in custody & he succumbed to his injuries. (3/4)

"I hope we don’t take the bait," said @RepRichmond, the former head of the Congressional Black Caucus, of which Cummings is also a powerful member. "The president always plays [the] race card when he is having a bad news cycle. “
“[It's] easier to call people names, when you don’t have anything else to point to."

He pointed to rat infestation, structurally crumbling schools, poor education (some of the lowest educational proficiency levels in the country), violence and poverty in Baltimore.
reading proficiency rates among Baltimore High School graduates hover at around 11%, and math proficiency rates hover around 12%. This is in a school system that graduates roughly 70% of its students each year.

This box actually got me traumatized at a very young age, and up until now I can't stay close to my dad's brother.
Thread.
So it happened that my dad saves with this box and among the 4 kids then he trusted only me with where the box was kept and he mostly gives me money to help him put inside.
This happened for over a year and I know the money inside is very many because it was a big box and it was only notes that I was given to put inside.

There are still almost four times as many US dollars in existence today than there were a mere 10 years ago
fred.stlouisfed.org/series/BASE
Are Americans producing four times as much stuff? No, not even close. That’s why prices rise every year despite all the real economic forces that should be driving them down. It’s all Federal Reserve money creation—the true definition of “inflation.”
Since the New Deal, Americans have been taught a whole range of economic fallacies designed to do one thing: keep them from realizing they’re being ripped off every day, every hour, every minute, all for the sake of the so-called “common good.”

Thread:

Something’s being overlooked in the controversy over contacts between the #PMO of @JustinTrudeau and former AG @Puglaas Jody Wilson-Raybould.

That something is JWR’s own highly unusual statement of Jan. 15. 1/ @cforcese @acoyne @bryan_leblanc @aleccast23 @lraitt
2 Ministers don’t normally make more than perfunctory “thanks to my former staff; I’m looking forward to new challenges” statements on these occasions.

But as she was being demoted to Veterans’ Affairs, JWR addressed Canadians in explicit terms about her tenure as AG. 2/
3 JWR welcomes her transfer, but adds: “I do, however, on leaving the office of Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada (MOJAG) wish to share with Canadians some reflections about my time in that office.” Again, highly unusual. Read it here: netnewsledger.com/2019/01/15/sta… /3

"I want to warn the world about an unprecedented danger that’s threatening the very survival of open societies.

…I’ll focus on #China, where President #XiJinping wants a one-party state to reign supreme."

project-syndicate.org/onpoint/the-ai…
"Xi is trying to consolidate all the available info about a person into a centralized database to create a 'social credit system'..people will be evaluated by algorithms that will determine whether they pose a threat to the 1-party state. People will then be treated accordingly."
"#China is not the only #authoritarian regime in the world, but it is undoubtedly the #wealthiest, #strongest & most developed in machine learning & #AI.

This makes #Xi the #most #dangerous #opponent of those who believe in the concept of #OpenSociety."
