We never like playing the told you so game. But here, see what we said 2 years back. We will soon hit you with a parallel and a more shocking development.
Those who know me know that I don’t deal in conspiracy theories so here’s another big forecast: Samajwadi Party is ready with a grand plan to snatch upper class votes from the BJP. And it will be done with “your” help. By you, I mean the gullible lot.
Watch out for RW warriors “created” in the last 2-3 years. They’ll come across as the most vocal supporters of Hindutva. They will keep telling you how BJP cheated Hindus. They will be the front line warriors for Samajwadi party this election and they wouldn’t directly praise SP.
Brace yourself for a horde of anti-Modi/Yogi Hindu RW warriors. They won’t be hired hands, they are currently being brainwashed to parrot their handlers’ lines, lines like:
- Modi hates Yogi
- Yogi hates Modi
- Modi didn’t do anything for Hindus
- Yogi is a Bhagwa clad secular
The brainwashing is being done in secret Facebook groups, WhatsApp groups, WhatsApp and telegram broadcast lists and physical meetings.
Target audience: Male, Upper caste, Hindi speaking, 18y-28y, from tier 2 and 3 cities in UP and the adjoining villages.

So many things have happened in the past few months. From successfully controlling the first wave of coronavirus to a disastrous second wave, from almost winning West Bengal to post poll violence in Bengal after TMC’s thumping win, from being Israel’s BFF to appeasing Palestine.
Twitter is labelling anti-Congress news as fake, influencers world over calling the B.1.617 variant, Indian variant, shameful coverage of India’s Covid deaths in western media. Oxygen shortage, medicine shortage, ventilator shortage and faint chances of a big economic bounce-back
In the last firm, I was offered to go and work onsite (AMERICA), it was a delicious proposition, I had just got married after all. Who doesn’t like extra money and a company sponsored stay. There was always the option of switching over while being in the USA.
But it was 2017 and my part time passion @FrustIndian was already a household name. I had saved a little and wanted to focus on building an alternate voice for India. I quit the firm and leapt into an unknown world. The next few months were a horror. But I preserved.
I haven’t become a millionaire. TFI Media is not a unicorn but we aren’t exactly starving 😊
There are 30 full time and 12 part time contributors working with us. Our articles and videos are not just a sensation in India but around the world.
Yes, there is a massive corona wave. Yes, we all need to stay locked up, and venture out only when it’s necessary. Yes, oxygen supply and shortage of medicines are major issues. Yes, people are getting infected. Yes, people are dying. But...
But let us not lose our sanity. In the mad rush to over-communicate, we are creating a panic wave. Do not RT everything. I have seen tweets getting thousands of RTs even after the patient has got help. That buries newer cases. Use Inbox too but only if you can genuinely help.
I have seen angels who have helped patients, RTing every tweet thanking them. Not the right time to be a credit hog mate. Move on to the next one. Imagine surgeons blowing kisses at crowds after every surgery.
China is in a downward spiral, not just economically but socially too. There is a fight between 3 factions - Maoists, Market friendly peeps (Deng faction) and liberals. Liberals have the least clout as they believe in dissolving the CCP. The real fight is between the first two.
CCP Gen. Secy. Jinping is a Maoist and is brutally against the Deng faction which made China what it is today. So under him China is turning into another Cuba, inward looking, opposed to capitalism in both letter and spirit and controlling.
So while most analysts want you to believe that China is set to become the number one superpower in the world, it is actually moving further and further away from it. America sits at that position but it’s story is even worse. That’s in the next tweet.
US, Israel and the west had great relations with Iran till it was under the Shah’s rule. After the Ayatollah kicked the Shah out and Iran became an Islamic republic, it became a staunch enemy of the west. Iran went on to become the Shia superpower in the Middle East.
The term Shia is of great importance here because an African American man born to Shia parents was destined to become the President of the United States for two straight terms. Before him, no president thought about normalising relations with Iran.
For the first time Iran was invited to a discussion table causing must chagrin to America’s all weather ally Israel. It even led to Israel’s President give a piece of his mind to the American Congress which was Republican controlled at that time. He got a standing ovation.
As I watched an interview of the president of El Salvador with Tucker Carlson on Fox News, I couldn’t help but draw an Indian parallel. It’s Bihar, my home state but I’ll come to it later.
First the background. El Salvador is a poor country in Central America. The economic parameters of the country narrate a sad story of decades of corruption, red tape and an absolute lack of accountability. It is a place where dreams die. But it’s right under the belly of the US.
El Salvadorans have, for decades, dreamed only one dream - get into the US somehow and start a life of prosperity and safety. Most of their families stay in El Salvador itself and they get remittances from the ones who made it.
