Ever since @bjp4India became a force to reckon with in 90s, one narrative that we grew up with after it was thrusted down our throats was that BJP is a Hindu Nationalist Party.

For Indira, BJP was a Baniya party and this Hindu identity was courtesy western media & continues!

 The fixation of western media to allocate identities to political movements is ltd to non Christian countries ONLY-reason y US, despite Presidents taking oath under Bible or European countries ruled by several Christian parties,none of them is identified as disparagingly as BJP!
As majority of Muslim nations don’t have democracy so media is not obligated to call them so; in Muslim countries with some semblance of democracy- for ex in Pak, neither PMLN nor PPP is identified as disparagingly as BJP in India. Ditto for BD. Not much diff is case of Turkey! https://t.co/loHkbp4UKn
So why is BJP identified with the majority religion of the country ?

Reason lies in d fact that for longest of times, west has developed a working relationship with Cong and its status-quoist approach. They know that Cong has NO ambition to give India its rightful place; BJP has
Prog of every party is known in advance & so is ideology. You can ask anyone about past narrative of Indian politics - Indira never called BJP a Hindu party- she uses to identify it as Baniya party and taking cue from her, India media used to do the same- so when did it change? https://t.co/FOXghHzMt8
Label for BJP began changing only after entry of Rajiv and Sonia Gandhi in public space- latter was very much active between 84 & 89. Infact, if one were to really analyse post 80 reign of Indira, she played Hindu card & it started reducing only after death of Sanjay Gandhi!
Western media & mainly BBC would never do a program in 90s without calling BJP- a Hindu fundamentalist party- yes if I remember it correctly many of its anchors used to use that term- nationalist came later as BJP became a reality of India!
The narrative building around BJP began changing after PM @narendramodi entered the national scene and now BJPs ascension is openly linked to India’s secular identity - note this interview that @yogital gave to @CBSNews after BJP win in 2019!
We have now in the 4th stage of this narrative building - from Baniya party by Cong to Hindu Fundamentalist/ Nationalist party of western media to linking its rise to security and safety of Muslims & secular fabric of India to openly calling it as a country moving towards Nazism!
It will be foolhardy to laugh away the repeated usage of Nazi word with Hindutva and Brahmins at recently concluded DGH conference and next day comment of Moeed Yusuf on similar lines - check screenshots again and see the clear pattern- imagine a Pak NSA equating us with Nazis!
But why is west happy working with Cong?

Coz status-quoist Cong,ruled by an Italian, will NEVER challenge its hegemony; nor will it pose a threat. As against Cong,BJP under PM @narendramodi is both desirous as well as working for reclaim India’s rightful role & place-hence hate!
But how does narrative affect any Govt - well look no further in history but at Iran or recently in Afghanistan. I stumbled upon a tweet thread by @AshkanTweets on media portrayal of Ayotollah leading upto 1979 revolution- check this video abt how west showed Iran then!
Read the quoted tweet and check this report as to how after US decided to abandon Shah of Iran and support Ayotollah of Iran; western media began making a villain out of Shah- this is one finest examples of how media narrative has been used by west to overthrow regimes/ Govts https://t.co/NzBgYRaYIb
Ronald Reagan, on record, said many times, how it was wrong on the part of Carter administration, to have played a role in overthrowing Shah regime; but then it was too late- media narrative had led people in Iran to support a brutal Izlamizt like Ayotollah!
Freedom of Indian media and the vibrant Indian democracy is the biggest Insurance that we have against all the games that western deep-state is playing against Modi Govt in India via media but reality is that people are prone to misinformation n disinformation campaigns- chk next https://t.co/AN81kUvxzs
It is power of western media & their narrative that Shah becomes a dictator overnight,after he refuses to support west with cheap oil or a twice democratically elected PM remains a PM of Hindu nationalist party & biggest of em’all-Hitler is never identified as Xtian when he was!
Not long ago, someone tweeted a picture of Hitler holding a Bible in his hand - you won’t imagine how entire western media from AP to Reuters was engaged in doing the fact check - everyone jumped to denounce the image as photoshopped!

https://t.co/J4AWqOiowe
It was claimed that none such pic existed of Hitler - what they will NOT tell u is that how after his defeat - thanks to the directives laid out at the Yalta and Potsdam conferences of Allied powers, all propaganda material, photos, pictures or books etc were destroyed!
We all were made to believe that Hitler- born into a Catholic family- was an atheist when point no 24 of his Nazi party’s program clearly shows that Nazis were committed to positive Christianity! https://t.co/YWzo7GK6jf
Even the much mentioned Swatiska of Nazis was named as such by Church but in reality it was actually a HOOKED cross - check this amazingly researched piece by @Aabhas24 https://t.co/sB3sjdiow3 - also this book by Erwin Lutzer proves it/ fact buried by western media as swatiska! https://t.co/8DFazWmfnj
The western media and west that labels @narendramodi Govt as Hindu nationalist Govt of BJP, carefully erased all the memories of Hitler’s hobnobbing with church to help remove Jewish influences on Christian life- read this for more https://t.co/79Jtz7ptt4
Hitler, was on course to set up a German church on the lines of Russian Orthodox Church - he added 2 commandments to 10 and Entjudungsinstitut set up by him was instrumental in this project. Infact German Evangelical Church was also set up during his times- but he was ATHEIST!
Do read this paper titled Hitler, Himmler, and Christianity in the Early Third Reich- will give u some information as to how to call Hitler an atheist is part of propaganda to limit the blame of Holocaust to Atheist Hitler and NOT Catholic Hitler! https://t.co/dGnvphrCa2
Laughable that this same west n it’s media hand out certificates to all n sundry!
Another great thread worth reading on connection between Nazis and Xtianity https://t.co/WqpdQIO6CI
This should also go here as it furthers the argument that Nazism was Xtian project but never identified as such, thanks to western propaganda https://t.co/UePeoC6Akt
Imagine why would German ruled by an atheist Hitler open earlier closed churches in Soviet territory occupied by Germany - because he was NOT atheist but an Xtian! https://t.co/VKfFlMrfMW
Heavily catholic country Italy and a key Hitler ally -Mussolini -was a role model for Hitler- who kept his bust in his office. You know who was key Mussolini ally- Pope Pius XI & his Roman Catholic Church - so church supported both -Nazis & Fascists! https://t.co/3Fbq9BWw9t
In 1933, an agreement was signed b/w German Holy See and the Third Reich & Pope Pius can be seen seated. This marriage of convenience helped both- Hitler used it as sign international approval of the Nazi regime & Vatican protected church’s interests.

https://t.co/MqiGUaDXMO
All the reports of Jewish genocide was brushed under the carpet by Vatican by saying that Jews “easily exaggerate” and “Orientals”—a reference to Archbishop Sheptytsky—“are really not an example of honesty.”

This goes against this explanation by Vatican https://t.co/MP8rChPmmo
Vatican dismissed every report of Holocaust as they believed that Jews “easily exaggerate”.

The docs that Vatican kept hidden from everyone while publishing this report in Pope’s defence https://t.co/MP8rChPmmo proves anti-Semitism of Catholic Church & their support to Nazis!

How to Get Rich (without getting lucky):

Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.

Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.

Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.

You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.

RISHI PINGALA:THE ANCIENT INDIAN SAGE DISCREDITED FOR HIS MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO MATHEMATICS & PHI

Have you ever heard about,"The Golden Ratio"?
The Golden Ratio or Phi(Greek) is a mathematical ratio of nature. Mother Nature is the most exquisite artist in herself.


&Its this Phi she uses to create all the beauty in World.
If anyone uses this ratio correctly in their art,it can turn into a spell-binding piece of work.Such is the significance of'Phi'.But my thread isn't about it.Its about somethin called'Fibonacci Series'&who actually made it


Phi is related to Fibonacci series(0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34...)
&this series is responsible for everything dat is beautiful on this planet. Just try to calculate the ratio of any 2 successive numbers ÷ each of them by the number before it in above infinite series.

E.g. 3/2=1.5, 5/3=1.666, 8/5=1.6, 34/21=1.61904 and so on. Did you notice something? The ratio is coming almost same every time. This ratio is called 'Phi 'which is numerically represented as 1:1.618. This Golden Spiral is made in exact proportion of 1:1.618.


The thing I want to emphasize here is that we always find only those things appealing and attractive that have Phi. It's in our subconscious. Isn't it some revelation? We are the part of this Divine proportion of the God or the Mother Nature. Check these:

Choosing the Right JavaScript Framework

Thanks for joining me @pluralsight to talk about javascript frameworks. We had 150+ awesome questions, so I'll try to answer the ones I couldn't get to online right here in a tweet stream

Watch the video -->
https://t.co/G7zeiKhXme


Q. Do arrow functions really make dealing with JavaScript's "this" keywords easier?

A. Yes! When using arrow functions, the scope of "this" is effectively passed in from the outer scope. See here in this REPL

1/n


Q. Where does Polymer fit in? Is it considered a framework like the others?

A. @Polymer is an excellent way to create web components, which are ideal for creating sets of interactivity that can be shared in web apps.

2/n

Q. Have we gone framework crazy?

A. At one time, quite possibly. A few years back we literally had framework overload. I feel it really has solidified into a few very strong choices.

3/n

Q. [Is] there no more need for @polymer?

A. See my previous question on this ... but in general, I think there is a lot of room for Web Components with frameworks.

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

X : Our executive team is concerned that we need to up our game in order to out innovate Amazon.
Me : Do you map?
X : Yes
Me : Like this?
X : No. What's that?
Me : A map of a tea shop.


X : Why is that a map?
Me : Long story, all to do with how space has meaning. To keep it short, maps help people to focus on user needs, the components involved, to communicate missing components and scenario play ideas like staff becoming robots.


Me : They’re also good for measuring and managing capital flow, making investment decisions, removing bias and getting rid of duplication.
X : I don’t see how that helps with innovation?


Me : Well, innovation is a tricky word because we use it to describe many things. If you’re talking about differentiation with the adjacent unexplored then you’re experimenting in the “uncharted” space e.g. immortality with magic provided by the special custom built kettle.


X : That sounds like nonsense.
Me : A lot of what people think will be the next great innovation is nonsense. Actually, most of it is. That’s the nature of the uncharted space, it’s experimental, high risk and generally results in failure.
X : We need more reliable innovation.

In 1937, a trucker got frustrated waiting for his cargo to be unloaded. He later sold his company for $1.1 billion.

Here’s the story of how Malcom McLean made a billion dollars and which startup could be following in his footsteps. (Inspired by our episode with @laurabehrenswu)


In the early 1950s, the shipping industry was a dying business.

New York’s docks were handling half as much domestic cargo in the early 1950s as they had been in the depressed 1930s.

In thirty years, no one had invested significant money in coastal shipping.

Why?

As McLean found out, loading ships was difficult and slow.

A truck or train would deliver items to the port. Each item was unloaded separately, recorded, and carried to storage.

When a ship was ready, each item was taken from storage, counted again, and hauled on-board.


The cost of this labor was significant. As one expert at the time explained:

“A four-thousand-mile voyage for a shipment might consume 50 percent of its costs in covering just the two ten-mile movements through two ports.”


Yet, despite the industry’s issues, it felt little pressure to change.

Foreigners were barred from operating domestically. Cartels ran international routes. And gov. subsidies eased the pain of labor costs.

Reshaping the industry needed an outsider.

Enter Malcolm McLean.
