Former US Ambassador Atul Keshap posts, on Facebook, the latest attack on me. His reason? Well, he's mentioned in it. @USAmbKeshap likely will remember me, as I'm the reason he's no longer in the US Diplomatic Service after I ran a campaign against him for meeting with the #RSS.
Of course, I never accused Ambassador Atul Keshap of "dual loyalty." I accused him of legitimizing a Nazi-inspired Hindu nationalist paramilitary that's guilty of staging multiple anti-minority pogroms.
As an aside (not really, directly on topic), please visit AtulKeshap.com to learn all about (now former) Ambassador Atul Keshap's dalliance with the #RSS and the backlash it prompted.
@USAmbKeshap responds and denies that my sustained campaign demanding his removal from the diplomatic service for his #RSS meeting had anything to do with his quiet exit just a few months later. But let the thinker gauge.

Ambassador, I have but claimed that your retirement came within months of a campaign demanding you be removed for meeting the #RSS chief. I leave it to the thinker to draw from the timeline what they will. Either way, sad your last act was legitimizing a fascist paramilitary.
While we’re talking, @USAmbKeshap, please tell me why you met the #RSS chief. Are you unaware of the allegations surrounding the RSS? Are you unaware of its Hindutva ideology? Are you unaware the very chief you met is accused of personally sanctioning anti-Muslim attacks?
And, moreover, @USAmbKeshap, why did you share a screed written by a right-wing pro-Iraq war cheerleader to attack me? @mrubin1971 refuses to name the RSS-BJP's US affiliates, like HSS & OFBJP. Do you think it's okay for US politicians to associate with Hindu nationalist groups?
I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words. Wondrously show your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand.
Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings, from the wicked who do me violence, my deadly enemies who surround me. They close their hearts to pity; with their mouths they speak arrogantly.
They have now surrounded our steps; they set their eyes to cast us to the ground. He is like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush. Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him!
@mrubin1971, best known for agitating for war in Iraq, spews forth another screed attacking me for standing up against fascist religious nationalism of #RSS-#BJP. He's angry I expose RSS-BJP linked politicians in US like Sonal Shah.
Conspicuously absent from Rubin’s article, however, is any mention of the RSS-BJP — or the HSS, OFBJP, etc. These are all names of Hindu nationalist outfits which I incessantly and invariably raise in my writings and speeches.
I spent the night diving deep into the controversy over Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, and have now unearthed every dirty secret that matters about the issue. I’m spilling it all. You read it here first.
What happened was….
… the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a multi-million member paramilitary inspired by the Nazis, spent the last 100 years successfully plotting to take over India, the world’s largest democracy & now they’re planning an impending genocide of Indian Muslims & other minorities.
You can read the full, unabridged account, no detail left out, at the link.
I first spoke to @CityofRoseville about how platforming @hssusa is indirect endorsement of fascist #RSS paramilitary. They ignored me. So I spoke to @CityofRocklin about what HSS is, @CityofAuburnCA about what RSS is, & @PlacerCA about why HSS wants governmental legitimization.
