obama the avenging angel. who failed.

I have long wondered if Obama was some sort of a kalki-figure destined to destroy america. sort of an avenging angel, of black and rop background. this essay, long and tortured as it is, says the same. and he failed, too. 

kudos to musk/twitter, and netanyahu. and trump, too.

and the Jews have finally figured out the destructive Dem anti-Jew nihilism.

trump effect or tactical withdrawal? Iran downplays Israeli air attacks

either 

1) Iran is biding its time to respond sharply (taqiya)

2) Iran understands at best an all-out war will result in a stalemate (a little like the iran-iraq war, which proved nothing after 8 years of war)

3) Iran is waiting to see if Trump comes to power (the trump factor).

Quick notes: Traffic fines | Lamborghini e-motor...

  • Traffic fines in Europe: Speeding tickets are linked to your income in Finland, Switzerland and UK. . . France, Finland, Spain and Germany all have laws that can send speeding repeat offenders to jail.


  • Supercapacitors for supercars: Lamborghini employs supercapacitors rather than a battery in its most powerful car ever... Supercapacitors in conjunction with a somewhat slower and more stable battery chemistry hold lot of promise in automobiles.


  • Article 370 ripple effect? Netanyahu vows to annex all settlements, starting with Jordan Valley


  • Dirty export: Dirty air from Indo-Gangetic plains messing up neighborhood... Roughly 30% of the boundary layer ozone in eastern India and Bangladesh comes from the Indo-Gangetic Plain and central India.


  • China pushes RCEP to extend its trade hegemony: India openly blamed China for unfair trade policies that created an enormous trade deficit. “The big question now is if they would like to proceed without India, which could cause some big push back from New Zealand and Australia.”

  • Tavleen Singh discovers Hindutva: "Savarkar rejects the caste system and makes a serious case for Hindus to respect science and modern technology. One of the things he disapproved of totally was cow worship".

Quick notes: Navlekha, LinkedIn spies...

  • Google sees gold in Indian languages: Launches Navlekha, a platform to help Indian language publishers get on the web. It will use AI to render any PDF containing Indian language content into editable text. It also added a new feature to Google Go, its search app, that now lets users listen to web pages in 28 Indian languages. In 2016, it launched the tap to translate programme that lets users translate an image or text to their own native language.


  • Amazon India unveils Hindi website, app: None of India’s other leading e-commerce portals - Flipkart, Snapdeal or Paytm Mall - currently have a local language version of their apps or websites, and the move to launch a Hindi app and website could give Amazon access to tens of millions of new customers in India’s small towns and villages.


  • How cars took over the roads: City streets used to be a public space. Then automakers invented the crime of jaywalking. "In the early days of the automobile, it was drivers' job to avoid you, not your job to avoid them. But under the new model, streets became a place for cars — and as a pedestrian, it's your fault if you get hit."

  • Espionage: Chinese spy agencies are using fake LinkedIn accounts to try to recruit Americans with access to govt and commercial secrets


  • China Wooing Eastern and Central Europe: Overseen by Premier Li Keqiang, the 16+1 platform convenes an annual summit between China and sixteen Central and Eastern European countries. The initiative will “split the continent” and preclude the EU from adopting a unified stance towards China.

Quick notes: Minority status, Russian link...

  • Condemned by the Constitution: Minority Commission has original jurisdiction to decide on the minority status of an existing educational institution.


  • One more link with Russia is cut: Indo-Russian 5th-Gen fighter is dead. Ajit Doval asks the Russia to go ahead on their own. F-35 Lightning II's prospects brighten.


  • Science education in English is exclusionary: Principal Scientific Adviser K. Vijay Raghavan


  •  Why Israel decided to revive Hebrew: “Reclaiming the Jewish homeland and righting the wrong of Roman imperialism that led to our exile isn't just about location, it is also about mindset. The mindset of Yiddish is the same as the mindset of willfully and passively going like sheep to the slaughter during the Holocaust and during pogroms prior. To truly stand up for ourselves and be a free people in our land, our language must truly be our own, not a bastardized mix of Hebrew and another language of our exile”.


  • Suicidal obsession with cars: The social cost of congestion stands at Rs 60,000 crore annually for Delhi while the number for Bengaluru is Rs 37,000 crore.


  • Electric Buses Are Hurting the Oil Industry: About 279,000 barrels a day of fuel won’t be needed this year. Every five weeks, Chinese cities add 9,500 electric buses—the equivalent of London’s entire working fleet.

While Israel Soars..

Register: Intel rumored to plunk $10bn down for Israeli fab expansion

Indian govt would die to get this kind of FDI, but here is where Israel scores over India:
Few statements have been parroted with as much certainty by the colonized elite than the idea that India's software success primarily results from its large English-speaking workforce. If it were true, then Kenya, with an English-based colonial class system and a large English work force, must also be disproportionately successful in software. This turns out to not be the case. Furthermore, this theory also fails to explain why Israel, which follows largely Hebrew and Arabic-medium schooling, is also a notable software success.
People in Israel migrated from all parts of the world in the twentieth century. These people spoke many different languages, yet Israel chose Hebrew, not English as the official language, reviving for modern times what had been declare a “dead” or classical language. This would be the equivalent of India choosing Sanskrit as its official and link language, instead of the colonial choice of English. While it can be argued that a choice of Sanskrit would have instilled a far greater sense of pride, rootedness and nationhood in India society, even contemplating such a choice was beyond the ken of the colonial elite, so well trained by the British, that ruled India at her independence.

To understand the success of Israel over Kenya in software, the explanation, indeed, must be found elsewhere, other than in language. I remember reading in one of the physicist Richard Feynman's early books how a respect for learning was a deep part of Jewish culture. In a similar way, in India traditionally learning has been considered the highest good. All of our scriptures extol learning, and parents have traditionally placed a great emphasis on learning.
While the learning of English as a language can still be considered a positive factor in the development of India's software industry, English as a primary medium of education and the resultant English-based class system can only be considered an impediment to this success.

Army Jawan's eyes gouged out by Jihadis in Kashmir

Will this barbaric act of Jihadis
elicit an emotional display of tears by Omar Abdullah in the
Jammu & Kashmir assembly?

Will it cause the insomniac "Prime minister" to lose any sleep?

How long will the Indian armed forces tolerate such gruesome atrocities on their own personnel?

This is a question of national dignity. The perpetrators of such outrages cannot go unpunished,
"civilian authority" need not be paid obeisance to until infinity.

Turkey Ratchets Up Tensions With Israel

Turkey is systematically ratcheting up tensions with Israel, using the Gaza flotilla incident:



Erdogan & Co are obviously doing this to make themselves the big kids on the Islamic bloc.
But will they be able to continue riding this tiger, or will things blow up in their face?

I'd always felt that the Israelis made a deep strategic error in forging a longterm strategic alliance with the Turks. It was inevitable that Kemalist secularism would collapse in the long run. Now that it has, what will the Israelis do? They have now left themselves in a strategic wilderness.

If I were them, I would quickly try to improve ties with Greece, including even its crooked socialists.

"Secular" Indian caravan to Gaza

Psecs & Jihadis from India intending to travel to the Gaza strip in a caravan to "promote peace". What, haven't you folks done enough of that within India
itself?

I do wish these enablers and apologists for Jihad get blasted to smithereens by the Israeli Defense Forces. That would be a huge favour by Israel to the Indian people in time for the festive season.

Read the list of associated individuals and organizations.
A veritable who's who of Jihadi fifth columnists in India, including the bearded scumbag -
Sandeep Pandey, of ASHA.

Yet another reason to think a million times before donating a single penny to shady organizations like ASHA. You never know where that money will end up getting used!

Mossad on a roll...

Thanks to the link from Rajeev's twitter. The PM of Israel has a list of enemies of Israel safely locked in a small safe in his office. The authorization to go ahead with a hit rests solely with him.

Chanakya would approve of Israel's methods. Chanakya has devoted a separate chapter in his Arthashastra titled 'Removal of Thorns'.

Contrast this with the pathetic state of counter-terrorism in our beloved country. B.Raman throws some light on it.

Hamas Leader Assassinated

A leader of the military wing of Hamas has been assassinated. I notice that the Israelis don't spare the rod when hitting at their enemies. I guess they have a survival instinct, unlike us.

WILL ISRAEL STRIKE IRAN?

Some lessons for the Hindus from the Jews,

... I always try to explain to non Israelis that they will not be able to understand Israelis or Israeli politicians and the Israeli decision making process without understanding how profound how deep is the memory of the holocaust in the overall character of the Israelis. AT the end of the day the first priority of the Israeli Prime Minister would not be American rage, European condemnation or Iranian retaliation, the first priority is that Israel, the Jewish people would never face another Holocaust...

To Act Or Not to Act?

The Obama Whitehouse is now locked in a deep tug-of-war over whether or not it should escalate its troop deployment in Afghanistan, and by how much.




Meanwhile, the Israelis are looking to pressure Russia to act on Iran, by threatening to support Poland and Czech Republic against it in retaliation.

Poll Shows India is Israel's Best Friend

A poll conducted by Israel among foreign countries shows that Indians have the highest popular support for Israel.

I'm sure the Islamists and the Commies will be turning different shades of red and green when they read this.

The Case for Israel: Alan Dershowitz (book review by V Sundaram)


V Sundaram reviews the book by Alan Dershowitz, a Professor of Law at Harvard. I have not read the book, but I have watched Alan Dershowitz on TV a few months back, taking on all the sundry anti-semitic, pseudo-liberal enemies of Jews & Israel. I strongly urge you to watch excerpts of his speeches here. Such forthrightness, courage, gumption, clarity. Simply astounding. We really need someone in the Sangh Parivar to be as effective in communication(with the requisite qualifications) to take on the pseudo-liberal enemies of Hindus.

IDF Man's Gutsy Move

Here was an impressive tactic by an Israeli officer, which was captured thru aerial footage:

http://dotsub.com/view/80f72f12-a701-4520-9925-d96e2d9d4808

There was a battle going on between 2 terrorists and 3 Israeli officers. The first terrorist was killed immediately, but the second terrorist threw a grenade at an Israeli officer. That officer dashed forward and grabbed the terrorist, and then used the terrorist's own body as a shield from the grenade's explosion. The terrorist was killed, but the officer survived. I thought that's something that only happens in action movies.
