Thread on the heroic Muslim generals of Pakistan:

1. On the eve of Pakistan’s defeat in Dhaka (around December 15, 1971), army chief and dictator Yahya Khan was hosting a party at his newly constructed house in Peshawar, where he was in the company of a woman referred to as Mrs Shamim, nicknamed "Black Pearl," a Bengali actress. The story suggests that, as the party grew increasingly debauched, Yahya, heavily intoxicated, insisted on driving her home while both were naked, only to be stopped by his military secretary, Major General Ishaque, who convinced him to dress. This account is primarily cited in Hassan Abbas’s book "Pakistan’s Drift into Extremism: Allah, the Army, and America’s War on Terror".

2. A day after the 1971 War began; Brigadier Gul Mawaz went to see Yahya, his close friend. He found him and Hameed, his chief of staff, inebriated… While they were talking, Yahya received a call from Japan from Noor Jehan, the famous Pakistan singer. After telling the brigadier who the call was from, Yahya asked her to sing him a song.” (Hassan Abbas, Pakistan’s Drift into Extremism)

3. The following did not happen during the 1971 war, nevertheless, it shows the character of Pakistan Army generals.

“Yahya’s cavorting on one occasion caused a major protocol issue with the Shah of Iran who was on a state visit to Pakistan. The Shah was getting late for his departure but Yahya would not come out of his bedroom. Finally, his close friend Akleem Akhtar aka ‘General Rani’ was persuaded to enter the bedroom and get him out. When she did, she found him in a bed with a famous female singer. She helped the President dress and brought him out.” (Owen Bennet Jones, Pakistam: Eye of the Storm)

1. This is Prithviraj Sukumaran, Malayalam movie actor. He is the director of Empuraan, one of the most Hinduphobic movies in recent years. In the past he had endorsed India's first halal certified residential apartments in Kerala.

🇵🇰 Located in Kochi, the Shariah compliant apartment building has homes facing Mecca.
🇵🇰 Residents share the same faith, food habits and attire. This is housing apartheid because non Muslims are not allowed to live here.
🇵🇰 Prayer and washrooms as prescribed by Sharia law.
🇵🇰 Layout that enables azan from nearby mosques to be heard clearly.

2. Prior to this, Prithviraj was planning to produce and act in a movie titled ‘Vaariyamkunnan’, based on the life of a Jihadi named Variyam Kunnathu Kunjahammed Haji, who was responsible for carrying out genocide against Hindus in Kerala.

The storyline was based on the life of a Muslim leader of the Moplah community, who massacred thousands of Hindus during the Malabar or Moplah communal riots in 1921.

The movie had to be shelved after the filmmakers received massive backlash against their attempts to whitewash crimes committed by Jihadi Moplahs against innocent Hindus in Kerala.

3. In a massive drug bust in April 2022, the Kerala Excise Department raided an apartment owned by Prithviraj in Thevara, Kochi and recovered a huge cache of drugs, cocaine, LSD and ganja. The police arrested Nujum Salim Kutty, a 33 year old native of Punalur who was living at the actor’s apartment.

Malayalam Movies: From Caste-Bashing to Hindu-Hatred
(This thread exposes both casteism and Hinduphobia which are intertwined in Malayalam movies. It is not aimed at denigrating or blaming any particular community or individual.)

1. After the movie Empuraan got hammered by critics and audiences for being a propaganda vehicle for the Left and Muslims, Mohanlal has tried to distance himself from the movie. But is the Malayalam superstar as innocent as he claims? Why did he agree to act in a movie in which Hindus are portrayed negatively? His net worth is Rs 476 crore. (moneymint.com/mohanlal-net-w…) He may not write the scripts, but his standing in the industry gives him the clout to tweak the script. He could have put his foot down and challenged the director (the blatantly pro-Muslim Prithviraj) but he didn't.

2. Again, in Drishyam 2, all the bad characters are Hindu and the good guys are Christian and Muslim. Take a look at the credits - only one, the cinematographer, is Hindu; the others are all Christian or Muslim. And yet Mohanlal had no issues being the lead role in this subtly Hinduphobic movie.

DOES THE F-35 HAVE A KILL SWITCH?
Thread
1. Contrary to speculation in both the mainstream and social media, the F-35 does not have a kill switch that can turn a stealth fighter into the world’s most expensive static display model. But here’s the problem - in the unlikely event that the US would want to ground an F-35 sold to another country, it has other ways to do so. Because the aircraft is designed as a software driven weapons platform, the F-35 is effectively a giant kill switch. Simply cutting off software updates would start impacting the aircraft’s war fighting capabilities. But still, the impact wouldn’t be immediate - that is, F-35s won’t suddenly start tumbling out of the sky.

2. The rumours about a kill switch probably originated in Germany which has started behaving like a rogue nation ever since Donald Trump declared he would end the Ukraine War by cutting military aid to Ukraine. Ideally, the Germans would like to continue the war till the last Ukrainian. But more than Ukraine’s survival, German policymakers are growing increasingly concerned over the possibility that the US could remotely disable F-35 fighter jets being delivered to Berlin in the event of a crisis, mirroring America’s recent decision to freeze intelligence and military support to Ukraine.

3. Germany’s apprehensions are due to the fact that the Luftwaffe is set to receive two squadrons (35 aircraft) of the F-35s starting 2026. ”The ‘kill switch’ in the F-35 is more than just a rumor,” says Joachim Schranzhofer, the head of communications at German defense company Hensold. “But it’s much easier to use the mission planning system – then the plane stays on the ground.”

Pakistan’s Endgame - India's options if the jehadi country plunges into a civil war

1. Napoleon Bonaparte, the French emperor, said: “Do not disturb your enemy when he is about to make a mistake.” That should be a guiding principle for India while Pakistan is self-destructing in slow motion. The huge uptick in violence in Balochistan and the frequent slaughter of Pakistan Army soldiers by the Baloch freedom fighters of the BLA is rapidly eroding the morale and the will to fight of the Pakistan Army.

2. All that India needs to do is step up vigilance along the land border. At any rate, only low IQ liberals and some retired generals are peddling the nightmarish scenario of millions of Pakistani refugees pouring into India if the country collapses. These are the same poorly educated and misinformed people who had for decades pitched the threat of a nuclear war in the subcontinent if India attacked Pakistan. Those threats disappeared after the Kargil War and didn’t make a comeback despite India’s strikes in Uri and Balakot.

3. According to @Sanjay_Dixit of @JaipurDialogues, in the unlikely event that the Pakistani hordes manage to sneak into the Indian side through the double electrified fence, the Border Security Force can simply shoot a couple of the infiltrators and the rest will get the message.

1. Ankit Saxena's throat was slit by his Muslim girlfriend's father, mother, brother and uncle. Instead of exposing radical Islam for his son's death, Ankit's father threw an Iftar party for Muslims. Secular Hindus are a bigger threat to Hinduism than Islam and Christianity. As Vir Savarkar said, "I'm not afraid of Muslims. I'm not afraid of Britishers. I'm afraid of Hindus against Hinduism. Thread.

2. A secular Hindu like Ankit Saxena and his secular family present a greater danger to Hindus than an Islamic terrorist or an American Christian missionary who pumps millions of dollars into India for conversion.

Ankit was so deep into secularism that he started wearing a Muslim cap, palled around with Muslim 'friends' and fell in love with a Muslim girl named Shehzadi. He was brutally unlived by the girl's family. The girlfriend's father, mother, uncle and 14-year-old brother slit his throat in a busy Delhi street in front of thousands of people.

3. As he was being stabbed by his girlfriend's mother Shahnaz Begum, he pleaded: "Aunty, I have done nothing... I didn't take your daughter."

The fanatic family didn't show any mercy. They slit his throat with a butcher's knife. The planning was so calculated and the attack was so violent that Ankit died in just 3 seconds.
