It suggests the Kraken is actually a "cyber warfare program" that tracks and "aquires [sic] evidence of nefarious activities and crimes committed by the Deep State." It adds that this has allowed Trump, alongside "loyal patriots" in the military and Space Command, to have gathered the evidence they need to prove his claims of fraud.

Fwd: India’s vanishing nuclear scientists - Asia Times

---------- Forwarded message ---------
From: Vij

In the context of the recent hit on an Iranian nuclear scientist, the fifth assassinated in that country in the last few years, there are many who appear to have died in an untimely way from India, despite claims to the contrary pointing to the official death certificates.  

The Indian experience seems too much of a coincidence?  If so, whodunit?

• Digital Tax: U.S. tariffs poised to hit India, Austria, Italy for taxing local revenue of Internet companies such as Facebook and Google.



• Who killed Indian banking?

13kumaon's last stand, Rezang-la, 18 Nov 1962

Vaccines not ready for prime time. Yet.

https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkM5NTU3MzgxNjMz&ep=14&episode=NWY4YmE3MmEtMjkxNC0xMWViLTk5MTMtZDMwNzMyOGIxMTI3 

Quick notes: War lessons | Vocal for local...

• Turkish drones lead Azerbaijan to victory: “The first lesson that the Azerbaijani-Armenian clashes showed is the vulnerability of traditional land units -- armored, mechanized, and motorized formations in the face of advanced drone warfare weaponry and concepts.” Crucially Turkey also transferred 'a complete robotic warfare doctrine and concept of operations' to Azerbaijan.
  
  “The Turkish-made Bayraktar drones carry four missiles that are also produced by Turkey -- MAM laser-guided ‘smart micromunition’ missiles. In Syria, these drones very easily destroyed Russian air defense systems like the S-300 and S-400 surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). This caused a kind of outcry in Russia because Turkey has produced drone weapons which are able to easily hit all the air-defense systems that have been advertised by Russia as one of the most effective air-defense systems in the world”.



• Sunken boats. Stolen gear: Fishermen are prey as China conquers a strategic sea. China’s navy, coast guard and paramilitary fleet have rammed fishing boats, harassed oil exploration vessels, held combat drills and shadowed U.S. naval patrols. “It appears that China is rapidly developing the capabilities to exclude other navies from the South China Sea”.
  
  Many experts argue that China is the main culprit in overfishing, offering massive incentives to its armed fleet and regular fishermen to venture far into other nations’ exclusive economic zones, from Latin America to the Antarctic. “Clashes will increase as China strengthens de facto control and [fish] stocks collapse. Eventually we will see loss of life if this keeps up.” 



• Vocal for Local: China lost Rs 40,000 crore from boycott of Chinese goods, claims CAIT. “We are all set to achieve our target of reducing imports from China to the tune of Rs. One lakh crore by December,2021”. . . . Will the educated middle-class support them?



• Our bodies are ruined by sitting, learn to squat: “Every joint in our body has synovial fluid in it. This is the oil in our body that provides nutrition to the cartilage. If a joint doesn’t go through its full range—if the hips and knees never go past 90 degrees—the body says ‘I’m not being used’ and starts to degenerate and stops the production of synovial fluid. . . . “Being on the ground helps you physically be ”grounded in yourself” —something that’s largely missing from our screen-dominated, hyper-intellectualized lives. 



• Far side of the moon: China's Yutu 2 rover snaps stunning new panoramas from the moon's far side. China is planning to launch its next lunar mission, Chang'e 5, later this month. The mission aims to land on the near side of the moon, collect around 4.4 lbs. (2 kilograms) of rocks and regolith samples and deliver them to Earth.




• Unsafe at any speed: Why aren't Indian cars as safe as foreign ones?.. “India has the potential to be a great exporter of cars if they are as safe as international automobiles”.. India wasn't applying widespread crash testing like foreign countries do, so manufacturers didn't see the need for an investment focus on safety.



• ‘Faeces and Pieces of Glass’: France warns soldiers against food delivery apps.. Soldiers and police have been under constant threat by Islamic radicals.



• Navy Pilot Landing on Aircraft Carrier:

Quick notes: Unformed dynast | Anti-trust target...

• Obama: "Rahul Gandhi has a nervous, unformed quality about him like a student eager to impress the teacher but deep down lacking the aptitude or the passion to master the subject".
  



• Amazon is everyone's antitrust target: Germany, Italy and India are investigating Amazon over unfair practices. . . . EU hits Amazon with antitrust charges. A huge fine could follow.



• Uber bought itself a law: Voters in California, inundated with ads promising drivers a “living wage”, flexibility and greater benefits, believed they were ensuring drivers a better future in the middle of a pandemic and recession..



• RCEP: World's biggest trade deal could spark conflicts, hurt farmers. “It would facilitate further land transfers from rural communities to foreign corporations. The RCEP deal has the potential to exacerbate the capture of land and water for large-scale investment, deforestation and eco-system degradation.” The deal will cover almost 30% of the world’s population.
  
  “Member nations will lose preferential access, and that access will go to more efficient producers and exporters, but how many countries can really compete with China?”



• Inside the destruction of Asia’s last rainforests: A Korean palm oil giant has been buying up swathes of Asia's largest remaining rainforests and setting it on fire deliberately.



• Drone lights: Diwali lighting ideas for coming years




• Pullata Ram Kumar: NRI from Andhra Pradesh donates RO plant every year on his son's birthday 



• No room for Mongolian nationalism: China erasing Genghis Khan from its history... French museum abruptly cancels a long-planned Genghis Khan exhibit after China demanded that the museum alter the exhibition’s title, removing the words “Genghis Khan,” “empire,” and “Mongol.”... The CCP forces the ruling ethnic Han Chinese culture onto minority cultures in its regions of Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet, in many cases assimilating native minorities against their will.



• A different kind of Vikas: Breaking through the conventional way of flood control engineering, Beijing Yongxing River Greenway turns seasonal urban drainage into a water resilient green sponge to retain and filtrate stormwater. The concrete channel is removed and wetlands were constructed through a balanced cut and fill to create diverse habitats and activity places that fulfil the needs of local communities.
  




• Aum So Hum sung by CHOIR:
  

Quick notes: Gaali project | Pink salt...

• Gaali Project: Team seeks suggestions on healthy swear words.. Reforming India’s vocabulary, one word of discontent at a time... swear with love :)
  



• Pink salt neither healthy nor Himalayan: It’s not healthier. It doesn’t come from the Himalayas. Most of it comes from Khewra Salt Mine, situated between Islamabad and Lahore.



• India lost control over 300 square km: India realized it had lost control of about 250 square km of land in the Depsang Plains, which holds key roads leading up to the Karakoram Pass, as well as 50 square km of land in the Pangong Tso.



• China building new tunnels for winter at Doklam: To ensure all-weather access into the Doklam plateau.. The Doklam plateau is entirely snowed under during the winter months making access a challenge.



• ‘Won't soften stance on China’: Biden could pressure Beijing more effectively than Trump by galvanizing U.S. allies and criticizing its human rights record.. “The most effective way to meet that challenge is to build a united front of US allies and partners to confront China’s abusive behaviours and human rights violations



• Aao karein thodi cheeni kum: Micromax is relaunching to reduce dependence on Chinese tech. “The big brother in Delhi then announced demonetisation and we knew that we couldn’t launch right away.” This change in plan hurt the company hard. #BoycottChina



• Aishwarya Sridhar: Aishwarya Sridhar, 23, won the Highly commended Award at the Natural History Museum in London... Although the leopard-frequented forest could be ‘terrifying’, it was the perfect place for Aishwarya to look for fireflies. After two hours of hiking, she found a tree dusted in gold from the bioluminescence of thousands of fireflies. Shooting 27 images over a 24-second exposure and combining them using focusstacking software, she highlighted the vibrancy of this scene.





• Here's where you can learn Kannada: Bite-sized lessons online
  



• Andhra man spends life savings on renovation of burial grounds: Venkat Rao, who is presently engaged in construction of Mahakali and Mahakaleshwar temple at an estimated cost of Rs 22 crore, for which he had already spent Rs 14 crore from his pocket till date, says he feels his hard-earned money was well spent on renovation of two cremation grounds and now on the temple. 
  



• Build underground tanks in low-lying areas to arrest floods: Experts feel Bengaluru could learn a lesson or two from Tokyo, which had built the world’s largest underground water tank to beat recurring floods. Today, it serves as a massive discharge channel for floodwaters. Excess water automatically flows into the tank, larger than a football field. When the water approaches capacity, operators pump it out from the main tank... In Munich, recurring floods were arrested by building 13 underground tanks. “These were mainly built on civic amenity sites. The tanks had two tiers, each 8m deep. Water would flow into these 16m tanks, to be pumped out when required.”



• Walmart’s PhonePe zips past Google Pay: “Unlike China, we have given equal opportunities to both domestic and foreign companies”.



• India opens antitrust case against Google: Competition Commission of India has opened an investigation into Google for allegedly abusing the dominant position of its app store to promote its payments service in the world’s second largest internet market.



• Will Smith And Family Host Sadhguru
  




• In China, Big Tech Isn't the Enemy. It's the Strategy: Foreign companies — notably in semiconductors, software or materials — that still believe China is a viable long-term business are kidding themselves. 



• China Lobbies for the West to Pay Africa’s Debts (to China): Angola, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, and Zambia have gone deeply into debt with China, giving China leverage to control their governments and influence state financial decisions by offering or withholding debt relief.



• Sexual impropriety: Pope John Paul II was warned about abusive archbishop Theodore McCarrick
