“Peaceful protestors” have so far
• caused millions in damage
• sacked Delhi
• injured cops
• stoned cars & killed occupants
• chopped hands & put bodies on display ISIS style.

Meanwhile self proclaimed “most decisive PM” is…? Useless Government
.Another video via @TheAngryLord - meanwhile Modi will find the next dead Bollywood d lister to condole, while sleeping on his job & giving cringe inducing slogans
.like the occupants of the Jeep at #LakhimpurKheri this man was also tortured & killed, tormented while he bled out. Meanwhile Moditards are busy thinking how this too can be spun as 10 dimensional chess
.Meanwhile Kumbhakarna’s timeline is surreal & totally disconnected
Oh god!!!! Lakhbir singh was literally strung upside down so that he would bleed out. What kind of monsters are these?

THREAD on @nytimes “investigation” into India’s covid response

1 errors & selective obfuscation from para 1 itself - Note the PMs goal was the contain the spread even at the cost of the economy - the BJP wanted online campaigning, others opposed it
2 as for lockdown it was both the opposition & industry opposing it. Note what part time industrialist & fulltime social climbing yuppie Narayanmoothri said & also what Rahul Gandhi said “tughlakian lockdown”
3 the entire data point for the NYT article seems to be one Dr Agarwal. Everything is “he said”, no proof provided. Turns out Dr Agarwal is a 32 year old - a low level researcher - whose opinions would be lost in the hierarchy & wouldn’t have access to core data anyway

Today Adar Poonawala donated 10 crores to an NDTV initiative. This was the same NDTV amplifying charges of cronyism and what not else, against him. The RW outlets that defended him got Zero. This is the extortive power of the Left cabal. Enjoy.
.this of course is exactly what the social climbing yuppies - the NaraynaMoortys do too - fund some “public minded journalism” fraud, to give a known “liberal” historian dispersal poets over money, which he then duly disperses to liberal outlets. In the process they don’t attack
Him or the shameless way he regained control over infosys. His son similarly donates to Hindu baiter Sheldon pollock to get a halo of “intellect” bestowed on him. All up doesn’t matter what dirty games the yuppie family gets up to, they’ll never be attacked by liberals.

1 Been talking to friends in Kabul - Mazar & Herat. In Herat almost all my friends are Shia. They are safe, there have been no massacres/reprisals. It seems that several of the Talibanis patrolling are also Shia. In Mazar they’re telling me some folks have been picked up
2 folks who were apparently close to General Dostum, but some have been released. In Kabul the Taliban have already visited the home of two of my more visible friends - told them they know about their “collaboration” with the Americans but as long as they don’t make trouble
3 they’ll be fine. In short the Shia, the Uzbeks & westernised atheist youth in Kabul have not been purged yet. Will reprisals happen at a later stage? Possibly. But it’s not happening now. Kabul, except for the scenes at the airport is calm. People who want to leave are not

1 We accept Chinese constructions from 2020 on 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 territory as permanent & in return China accepts Indian infrastructure from 2020-2021 on 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 Indian territory as permanent. This is what surrender looks like. Wuhan redux. Thread
2 this turn is particularly curious because the reason for delaying talks was to build “facts on the ground” (to use Israeli lingo) in undisputed Indian territory as a counter to Chinese infrastructure in undisputed Chinese territory. Sadly whoever negotiated this crap decided to
3 to bargain permanent structures in undisputed territory for permanent structures in disputed territory. I knew this government was stupid, I never suspected they were this criminally incompetent. For all effects and purposes we’ve accepted the Chinese claim line in practice.

1 The NDTV-Usmani episode is the best example of how the “Secularist”-Jihadist alliance works & is mutually beneficial.

First Jihadi plays victim, Then secularist plays victim, Then complies with Jihadist demands.

Both achieve their objectives:
2 NDTV gets lauded for “journalistic bravery” & gets the victimhood olympics gold for initially sticking to the post. Then when they remove it they get lauded for “sensitivity” to minority sentiments reinforcing their “secular credentials”. This is used as proof of impartiality
3 Usmani also gets exactly what he wants - noticed & quote tweeted by big shot news desk editors, recognition by SJWs, victimhood olympics gold, and lauded as the “voice of the subaltern muslim suppressed by mainstream media”. When NDTV deletes tweet he is lionised as a
