My objection here is a bit more nuanced. I don't disagree that Jews have a disproportionately large influence in the power centers of the world today--as they did ~25 years ago when KMIV referenced The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. There's no disputing that. What's at issue /1
...is that KMIV referenced a document that has been debunked as conspiratorial. When KMIV referenced it, other people recognized Jewish influence, but they didn't credit it to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The persecution complex can galvanize a people to excel. /2
Just as Ahmadi Muslims disproportionately have more influence in the West as compared to other Muslim groups. I wouldn't chalk that up to *just* khilafat.

For anyone following the thread, here's some background on the debunked document (hoax):

I think you've got some false equivalency going on here.

If I give the presentation of being rational and objective, might it have anything at all to do with my efforts to focus on ideas, and to even give credit to some ideas in a belief system that I have left behind? /1
You couch your remarks as if to give my approach a somewhat sinister connotation.

Would you prefer I use profanity or attack people in ad-hom fashion, so it would be easier for Ahmadi Muslims to discredit anything I have to say? /2
Yes, all human beings have bias.

Ahmadis present the "True Islam" campaign as if impartial and objective. That presentation has bias too. So why the double standard in how you view me and what I write? Did I come out and state that I'm the final authority? That anyone is? /3

Here's the story of how I almost died when I was 24.
It was 2004, and I was living alone. I'd had bought a lava lamp years ago, moving it from place to place but never really plugging it in. This morning, I finally decided to plug it in... only to discover that the bulb had burned out.
Lava lamps work are, basically, wax suspended in water. The bulb heats the wax, causing it to melt and move up through the water, where it cools, causing it to fall. The result: cool trippy patterns.

Here's a reader suggestion from @_mattl - with so many people calling each other a 'quisling', what does that actually mean? Well, here's a brief overview of the man whose name has become synonymous with 'traitor'. /1
Vidkun Quisling was born in Norway in 1887. Relatively comfortable childhood, went and served in the military, got posted to the Soviet Union as a diplomat, then the Ukraine (where he met two of his wives). After the dust of WW1 settled, he went back to Norway... /2
At first he flirted with communism - just like a few other famous right-wing leaders - then increasingly found himself drawn to right-wing politics. He poured his holdings into setting up reactionary right-wing movements to fight Bolshevism. /3

Today is Krishna Janmashtami (Gokulashtami).

One of the great Indian festivals honoring the birth and memory of a great Indian personality -

Vāsudeva Kṛṣṇa
Now it is not uncommon for countries to celebrate personalities by commemorating their birthdays.

We have Christmas for Jesus Christ
Mawlid for Muhammad
President’s day for George Washington
October 2nd for Mahatma Gandhi
But Vasudeva Krishna is not just a historical personality.

He is a lot more than that.

He represents the lifeblood of a civilization. He is not just one of the most popular Hindu deities. But also the prime influencer of so many aspects of Indian life

Here is a bit more background on what @ShawnBoburg and I uncovered reporting this piece. To learn more about the men who allegedly offered Sexton $10k to sign a false statement we reviewed local broadcasts, court filings, photos, and FB posts. wapo.st/2pwyDBl
After his primary victory, Roy Moore was in DC for a series of meetings with Senate Republicans on Oct. 31st. wapo.st/2iSMwJL?tid=ss…
In DC, Sen. Rand Paul held a fundraiser for Moore on Nov. 1. Sens. Cornyn and Wicker, Steve Bannon and Matt Boyle of Breitbart News, and a handful of others were reported by Politico as attending the event.

Good morning, babies. So, yesterday, among everything else that happened, Trump gave what probably should be regarded as a major (if short) speech on national security, to officially lay out his plan to Congress.
I'm going to get into that speech, which has a few interesting features that make it different from a typical Trump speech. It's been compared to his campaign rally speeches more than a normal policy speech, but it's actually perhaps his clearest, most policy-focused speech yet.
If you benefit from or enjoy (if that's the right word) this type of analysis on here, your support can help me continue doing it through the holidays and into the new year. paypal.me/alexandraerin

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
