🚨🇺🇸The dark side of Google

Behind the sleek facade is a data-hungry empire built on surveillance, censorship, and crushing competition.

Сontroversial practices of the tech giant that controls data, searches, & emails:🧵👇

🕵️Spy corp

Google's original motto was "Don't be evil."

But its business model is built on being a master of espionage under the guise of convenience.

It amasses a colossal amount of personal information, often stretching the definition of "informed consent."

👀 Eye of Sauron

In 2018, an Associated Press investigation proved Google tracked your location even after you explicitly turned "Location History" off.

It used other services like Maps and Search to continue the surveillance.

🚨🇨🇳🇺🇸 China's Rare Earth Revenge: How Beijing Threatens to Cripple US Military-Industrial Complex, Gaining Upper Hand in Trade Negotiations!

Stunningly, China can even potentially stop Taiwan + South Korea from selling semiconductor chips to the US!

Thread by @Kanthan2030🧵👇

🇨🇳👀 Let’s first look at how China dominates the global supply chain of rare earth elements (REE).

◾️ China has 40% of rare earth minerals reserves in the world. God didn’t give much oil or gas to China, but compensated for it with REE!
◾️ China accounts for 70% of the world’s mining of REE.
◾️ For many specific rare earths, China’s share of global production of refined REE is a staggering 95% to 100%.
◾️ For products such as “permanent magnets” that are made from rare earths, China’s global market share is 90%

2/10

🤔⛏️ Why are rare earth elements so vital for the US military and economy?

You cannot make fighter jets, missiles – from Tomahawk to Patriot air defense missiles, Predator/Reaper drones, radars, submarines, aircraft carriers, Abrams tanks, satellites and space systems… the list goes on and on for dependency on rare earths.

🇺🇸📊 Consider that Lockheed Martin is the biggest consumer of rare earth elements in the US! A single F-35 requires nearly 1000 pounds of REE. And a single nuclear submarine needs 10,000 pounds of REE.

📺 As for the civilian economy, everything from a smartphone, TV and a computer to an electric vehicle and an MRI machine needs rare earths or permanent magnets made out of REE. Sophisticated equipment – like the lithography machines from ASML – also use rare earths.

👉 And the US depends on China for 70-100% of the rare earth needs, depending on the specific element.

🚨🇮🇳🇺🇸 India checkmates the US Empire.

Tectonic shifts in geopolitics as India joins China, Russia & the Taliban to foil US' dream of re-establishing military bases in Afghanistan.

This shocking twist heralds a new era for South/Central Asia.

Thread by @Kanthan2030. 🧵👇

🇺🇸 The US Empire desiring a foothold again in Afghanistan should not be surprising, since it would serve as a tool to target China as well as Russia’s influence in Central Asia.

Remember that Afghanistan borders Xinjiang, which could be destabilized by the flow of CIA’s weapons and radicalized Uyghurs, many of whom are battle-hardened after a decade of fighting in Syria alongside al Qaeda* and ISIS*.

The Bagram air base can also be used to attack Iran, which is still public enemy No. 1 for Israel and the US.

*under UN sanctions for terrorism

🇨🇳 Given the geopolitical risks for China, why would India oppose the US? The answer is two-fold: Pakistan and a vision of the Asian Century.

Lately, the US has been backstabbing India.

First, it was the US-led color revolution in Bangladesh, which got rid of a pro-India leader (Madam Hasina) and replaced her with a pro-Pakistan leadership.

Next, the shocking embrace of Pakistan by the US this year. The Pakistani army chief, Asim Munir, has visited the White House three times. The US is giving Pakistan military aid as well as air-to-air missiles for F-16 fighter jets. Pakistan has even invited the US to build and operate a new sea port. All these present serious national security threats for India.

Letting the US into Afghanistan will only bolster the US-Pakistan alliance.

Thus, an independent Taliban that pivots towards India, China and Russia is good for regional stability.

🚨🇮🇳🇺🇸 The US has unintentionally lit a spark of self-reliance in India, and that spark could turn into a forest fire.

What's happening with Zoho might be the beginning of an economic, national & even spiritual revolution that India has always needed.

Thread by @Kanthan2030 🧵👇

🇺🇸 Thanks to the US crackdown on H1-B visas and open hostility from many American social media influencers, many Indians finally started to discuss indigenous tech ecosystem.

💬 That inquiry led to Arattai, a chat software developed by Zoho a long time ago!

Within a couple of days, the dormant Arattai – which means casual conversation – leapt to #1 on the smartphone chart for Apple and Android systems in India!

Can Arattai replace WhatsApp which has 500 million users in India? It will be hard but not impossible.

🇮🇳 The story of Zoho’s founder should be an inspiration to all Indians dreaming of a career in the US.

Sridhar Vembu comes from a small town in the state of Tamil Nadu. He went to IIT, the top tech university in India, and then did his PhD at Princeton University.

Then, in 1996, he returned to India to start his own firm that had US corporations as clients. When the dot-com bubble burst in 2001, Vembu switched to focusing on small/medium businesses in India.

His SaaS (Software as a Service) suite expanded steadily over the years. Now, Zoho has a revenue of $1 billion and a market cap of $12 billion.

Vembu even opened up his own university where he recruits students from humble backgrounds and turns them into world-class engineers.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸Trump issued ultimatum on Chabahar Port — 45 days to pull out or lose US assets.

Here's why 🇮🇳India is unlikely to ditch the $370mln port in Iran — a key hub along the North-South Transport Corridor: 🧵 👇

🇮🇷 IRAN’S GOLDEN GATE

Chabahar stands as Iran’s sole deep-water port on the Gulf of Oman, offering India a unique maritime foothold.

India’s investment here is aimed at circumventing Pakistan to establish direct connectivity with Afghanistan, Central Asia, and Russia.

🤝 A DECADE-LONG COMMITMENT

In May 2024, India formalised a 10-year lease to operate the Shahid Beheshti terminal at Chabahar.

While the US raised eyebrows, New Delhi underscored the port’s importance beyond commerce — emphasising its geopolitical utility.
