How Congress Tampered Indian History

Always Indian history is written and presented differently to common masses. Congress wrote history in their favour since 1947
and the first thing what they did purposefully, as a strategy, to use the name of Congress (name used during freedom struggle) even after independence, to take the advantage of the brand....

The professional politicians have done an excellent job of splitting up the issues to keep the citizens fighting with each other so we don’t focus on the fact that they are the problem, not us.
The professional wrestling promoters know that good fighting evil and prompting the audience to be involved in the action will keep people engaged. Our career politicians know it, too.

Without a crisis to engage the public, the career politician is less significant.

#TermLimits
#ManufacturedCrisis are common in politics - They provide another more sinister advantage to the professional politician: misdirection and sleight of hand.

Both sides do it

They do it because there are no #TermLimits

#WeThePeople can put an end to it

The last lawfully ratified state constitution of Pennsylvania is 1838. All the state constitutions after 1860 are NOT lawfully ratified because #Congress collapse on November 1860 when the southern nations seceded. I will remind everyone we are still under martial law since 1861.
Martial law was never lifted, there were never any peace treaties with the Independent Southern Nations after the international war of 1861. This prevented to restore congress of the southern nations & northern nations. Below I will tweet the preamble and Article I.
1)
 Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania -1838.

WE, The People of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Ordain and Establish this Constitution for its Government.

This one is for #GameOfthrones fans
I just thought I should do you a history thread

Causes and course of the evens know as Robert's rebellion, 17 years prior to Game Thrones Battle of the Trident, Robert Baratheon(Lord the Storm's End) and Prince Rhaegar Targaryen (Prince of Dragonstone)
A grand tourney was held by Lord Whent at Harrenhal. Many nobles from all over the Seven Kingdoms came to the Riverlands to take part in the festivities. Amongst them were the heir to Winterfell, Brandon Stark, and his younger siblings, Eddard, Lyanna and Benjen
The most prominent visitor of the tourney was King Aerys II Targaryen, however. Aerys had not left the Red Keep for many years, ever since his capture during the Defiance of Duskendale but he was inspired to come to the tourney by words from his master of whisperers, Varys.

1) DOJ Inspector General Report Flow Chart
2) Congress will receive the Inspector General Report on January 15th, 2018. We learned this on December 13th, 2017 at The House Judiciary Committee hearing with Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein.
3) OIG reports ARE NOT released to Congress as a whole. They go to the specific committees that oversee the agency that the OIG investigated.
