🧵 Ajax’s own MPP decided to take a non-essential trip outside of the country while our town moved from Red to Lockdown.

I don’t even know where to start on this. Rules for me and not for thee? Financial privilege in action? Getting away from the “plebs” in Ajax? #onpoli 1/x

My family had plans to travel to Europe this summer, but we knew that it had to be postponed to a safer time. We thought of postponing the trip to now, but decided against it until after vaccinations happened and travel advisories are lifted. #onpoli 2/x
And, by the way @RodPhillips01, as someone eligible to vote in Ajax, let me direct you to this big, bold, red text on Global Affairs Canada’s website. #onpoli 3/x
Yes, sometimes there may be an urgent need to leave the country (dying family member or other family emergency), but in a year where Ajacians, and indeed all Ontarians, have made so much sacrifice, this feels like a quintuple slap to the face. #onpoli 4/x
While individuals still go to high-risk, close-contact workplaces during “lockdown” to keep our supply and food chains going, @RodPhillips01 decides to go on vacation. Sounds like another example from a country a few hundred kilometres away. #onpoli 5/x
So, Minister, on Christmas Eve, you and your comms team highlighted the sacrifices we all had to make to limit the spread of COVID-19 this holiday season.

Yet you decided to leave Canada for a non-essential vacation during a global pandemic. #onpoli 6/x
You were parachuted into Ajax as a corporate executive to run against a long-time small business owner in Ajax. You won the chance to represent all Ajacians in June 2018. It seems like you’ve also decided to leave Ajacians behind in a crisis. That’s not leadership. #onpoli 7/x
Not only that, he’s left Ontarians behind as well. It’s been a long year for all of us, and the holiday season is a time for rest and reflection — but that also means continuing to follow public health advice and local restrictions.

Not flying around the world. #onpoli 8/x
Furthermore, this isn’t just the MPP for Ajax. This is Ontario’s Minister of Finance. For a government so concerned over balanced budgets, gov’t spending, and efficiencies, having your finance minister go on an international trip during a pandemic is not a good look. #onpoli 9/x
Am I mad? Angry? Furious? Disappointed? Not surprised?

Yes, all of it.

Ajax needs to take note of what their MPP did at the peak of the second wave of a deadly pandemic.

Leaders set priorities. Leaders get things done. @RodPhillips01 is not a leader. #onpoli 10/10 🧵
The only trip I’m taking right now is to Downtown Yikes City.

It keeps going. These dates don’t line up. Ajax deserves so, so, so much better.

.@RodPhillips01, can you or your team specify when the MPP visited these businesses? Was it before his vacation, during the mandatory quarantine period, or after his mandatory quarantine was completed? 13/10 #onpoli https://t.co/KhJojRbkXR

The Nashville Operation - A Battle in the War

A thread exploring the Nashville bombing in the context of the 2020 Digital War (via SolarWinds) against the United States perpetrated by our enemies, likely China, Iran and/or Russia.


SolarWinds Hack

A digital "Pearl Harbor" moment for the United States, whoever was responsible had access to the keys to the kingdom for months during 2020, including sensitive military infrastructure. This is war!

SunGard + SolarWinds

SolarWinds software company is owned by same company that owns SunGard, which essentially provides data center services. A secure place to host internet servers with redundant power and "big pipe" data connections.

SunGard Data Center

In Nashville, around the corner from their "big pipe" connection, AT&T. Like any data center, highly secure. Only authorized personnel can enter, and even fewer can access the actual server rooms. Backup generators are available in case of power failure.


If the SunGard hardware was being used to "host" critical command and control software related to SolarWinds, the US powers would be very interested in gaining special access keys that are stored on the hard-drives of specific servers.

प्राचीन काल में गाधि नामक एक राजा थे।उनकी सत्यवती नाम की एक पुत्री थी।राजा गाधि ने अपनी पुत्री का विवाह महर्षि भृगु के पुत्र से करवा दिया।महर्षि भृगु इस विवाह से बहुत प्रसन्न हुए और उन्होने अपनी पुत्रवधु को आशीर्वाद देकर उसे कोई भी वर मांगने को कहा।


सत्यवती ने महर्षि भृगु से अपने तथा अपनी माता के लिए पुत्र का वरदान मांगा।ये जानकर महर्षि भृगु ने यज्ञ किया और तत्पश्चात सत्यवती और उसकी माता को अलग-अलग प्रकार के दो चरू (यज्ञ के लिए पकाया हुआ अन्न) दिए और कहा कि ऋतु स्नान के बाद तुम्हारी माता पुत्र की इच्छा लेकर पीपल का आलिंगन...

...करें और तुम भी पुत्र की इच्छा लेकर गूलर वृक्ष का आलिंगन करना। आलिंगन करने के बाद चरू का सेवन करना, इससे तुम दोनो को पुत्र प्राप्ति होगी।परंतु मां बेटी के चरू आपस में बदल जाते हैं और ये महर्षि भृगु अपनी दिव्य दृष्टि से देख लेते हैं।

भृगु ऋषि सत्यवती से कहते हैं,"पुत्री तुम्हारा और तुम्हारी माता ने एक दुसरे के चरू खा लिए हैं।इस कारण तुम्हारा पुत्र ब्राह्मण होते हुए भी क्षत्रिय सा आचरण करेगा और तुम्हारी माता का पुत्र क्षत्रिय होकर भी ब्राह्मण सा आचरण करेगा।"
इस पर सत्यवती ने भृगु ऋषि से बड़ी विनती की।


सत्यवती ने कहा,"मुझे आशीर्वाद दें कि मेरा पुत्र ब्राह्मण सा ही आचरण करे।"तब महर्षि ने उसे ये आशीर्वाद दे दिया कि उसका पुत्र ब्राह्मण सा ही आचरण करेगा किन्तु उसका पौत्र क्षत्रियों सा व्यवहार करेगा। सत्यवती का एक पुत्र हुआ जिसका नाम जम्दाग्नि था जो सप्त ऋषियों में से एक हैं।
Still wondering about this 🤔
