Twitter Jerkup

It is not a secret anymore that American tech companies have been dabbling in political and social affairs of almost every country they operate in. Among these Twitter has been easily the most “Shady Operator” of all. Total lack of transparency, banning accounts for no good reason, becoming sole arbiter of what is abuse or breaking the law and allowing political gangs to dictate the discourse on the forum. Even in matters of “abuse” Twitter has been selective and discriminatory. Some handles use the foulest language, abuse others with the choicest of words but get away because they have blue ticks while others are suspended simply for using the “F” word or calling someone a “moron”.

The @MediaCrooks account was first suspended at the end of December 2017 over some so-called abuse of a minister but with no justified explanation. Owing to public outrage the account was restored immediately. Then, in June 2018, the account was permanently suspended because someone complained about my tweets on Khalistani terrorists killing Hindus during the 1980s. It was deemed as abuse of Sikhs. Khalistani terrorists killing Hindus is an absolute, undeniable fact. How such genuine truth can become abuse is the way Twitter mishandled its business.

Twitter suspends accounts for dumb reasons but mostly because the political goons of the ruling party, like the IT Cell of BJP, gangs up to target accounts that are harshly critical of PM Narendra Modi. When the accounts are targeted, Twitter starts shadow banning, making tweets of an account invisible to followers, starts playing games with your follower count and often makes tweets disappear. All of these have been chronicled in my posts “Twitter Games” and “Twitter Censorship”.

The bias, prejudice and nonsense of Jack Dorsey and Twitter had gone so far that they suspended the account of Donald Trump claiming his tweets incited violence when there was nothing of that sort whatsoever. In India, they permanently suspended the account of blabbermouth Kangana Ranaut simply for her anger over Bengal violence and asking Modi to take up his 2002 role in a silly reference to the Gujarat 2002 riots. These idiotic tweets may not be in good taste but bad taste is not a crime. And silly tweets like these do not incite violence. There is hardly anyone who doesn’t want to kill someone figuratively. Saying “I feel like killing Sagarika Ghose for her stupidity” doesn’t mean I want to kill her. It is merely an expression. Saying “I would kill to have that car” doesn’t mean someone is desperate to kill someone.

Modi is stupid enough to entertain any foreign businessman that visits India just for lipstick. Jack was sitting cross-legged across Modi as if he was talking to some low-level celebrity in a Karan Johar Koffee show. Jack later posed with the biggest scumbags in Indian media and other assorted Hindu-haters holding a placard that said “Smash Brahminical Patriarchy”. For a US businessman to ignorantly indulge in stupid campaigns of social strife of other countries is not what being Twitter CEO entitles you to:

The other aspect of Twitter under Jack was the extreme defence of anything that was Islamic; even some violent thugs and handles that issued threat after threat while many handles challenging them were suspended. That apart, distorting maps of JK every now and then and dodging Indian laws. All this had to end someday. This ends not because the ModiSarkar has any brains or guts. This ends because a man with lots of money buys out freedom: Elon Musk. One of the first statements that EM put out was this one:

Freedom of thought cannot be removed by any law. Freedom of expression can be controlled by law. Whether you’re a public platform or a private one, that freedom cannot be subjected to the prejudices and biases of those who control the platform. The only thing to ensure is that the FoE respects the law of the land and nothing more. Beyond that, there are cases of personal abuse, slander etc. which can be penalized by deletion of tweets, temporary suspensions or lock outs but permanent suspensions of accounts for flimsy, arbitrary decisions cannot be done. Those who are offended or defamed do have the option of going to the courts. You might just as well say “It’s my bat, so I will bat first” as kids do.

The biggest problem in India is the issue concerning religion and politics. The Islamists from world over freely abuse Hindus and Hinduism, while Hindus in India are restricted by their laws for retaliation. Therefore, the abuse of Hinduism from foreign lands should not be allowed by Twitter. This is an area where the GOI also fails miserably. Anything that is unlawful in India cannot be published in India. And EM does say that the law must be respected:

Free speech implies that much of the speech can also be offensive. Merely being offensive does not break the law. You don’t need FoE to bootlick Modi or sing songs in praise of him or for that matter anyone else. You need FoE to criticize him and even to trash him severely. It is possible that such criticism and trashing may be wrong or devoid of facts but that can only be fought with words and facts. The criminal BJP IT Cell and its network of goons systematically targets those handles criticizing Modi or any of his pet gods like Ambedkar or Phule. The handle of @TrueIndology or @BharadwajSpeaks was targeted for that very reason and the IT Cell got him suspended. The IT Cell used its coolies and relations with mid-level employees at Twitter India to execute criminal back-door actions on unfriendly accounts.

Some of the most notorious employees of Twitter may have to exit once Elon Musk takes over fully. There are Ban-masters or Ban-she like Vijaya Gadde (@Vijaya) who have trampled free speech, banned accounts and may face the axe. Such prejudiced actors must go. Back-door operators like BJP IT Cell who target accounts for suspension will also be relegated to sleeping dogs. How much Musk can free the bird from its cage remains to be seen. The GOI has never been a supporter of free speech. Modi is no different from Congress except that he doesn’t respond to any criticism at all but his goons do that job with different methods. How much freedom Musk will impart to Twitter is a matter of wait and watch. One thing for sure, though, the exit of Evil from Twitter certainly should be celebrated.

Fooling Hindus With Statues

If you can be fooled easily, then you WILL be fooled easily. Among the three main religions in India – Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, the Hindus are the most easily fooled. The Sikhs don’t fall for the nonsense of PM Narendra Modi no matter what movie role he plays. He gave another speech about Guru Tegh Bahadur from the Red Fort yesterday. During the election campaign in Punjab, Modi claimed Ravidas inspires his social policies and played the tambourine at a Ravidas bhajan meeting. The Sikhs don’t see Modi as a friend even though he crawls so much for them. The Muslims recently threw desert coolers from the top of their mosques in Telangana. These coolers were donated by a local BJP leader.

The Muslims too don’t see Modi or BJP as their friend despite all the monetary and other doles given to them. Modi has acquired a worldwide image of being anti-Muslim despite sucking up to them. Modi doesn’t mind he doesn’t get Muslim or Sikh votes but with the backing of Sheikhs and Emirs of the Middle East, he has got some awards and appeases Muslims to please them. Modi doesn’t act seriously against Muslim crimes because it would affect his image and neither does he have the courage for it. Despite lofty promises of “Justice for all” and sending Banglas packing – Modi has done exactly the opposite. Appeased Muslims beyond reason and left Hindu issues in a lurch. The demolitions at Jehangirpuri in Delhi reveal the extent of illegals packed in that area. His only method of fooling Hindus is to run around temples, wear saffron or inaugurate statues of Hindu icons to make them think he does something for them.

Modi does zero for Hindus. This is because he has broken up Hindus by caste more than ever before and turned OBC/SC/ST into a separate group. All the doles, jobs, even death-count from Covid are only for these groups. For the other Hindus who keep demanding equality, repeal of RTE, Temple freedoms etc. Modi only offers lipstick nonsense like this:

The Sardar pic has nothing to do with religion but reflects the obsession of Modi to ribbon-cut every statue possible on earth. Modi’s pet MK Gandhi won’t cut ice in Gujarat so he must sell Sardar. But the other two pics have a different story. Inaugurating some “Adi Yogi” of that charlatan Sadhguru. I am 100% sure Modi doesn’t know a damn thing of what it is or is meant to be. Then an Adi Shankaracharya statue in Uttarakhand is refurbished after damage by floods. Modi inaugurates it and then prays in front of it. I am sure he doesn’t know a damn thing about Adi Shankaracharya either. But these are the things that Modi fools Hindus with. His limited borrowed sentences for tweets and speeches on such icons is all he does.

Modi has another penchant for tall statues (as with the Sardar Unity statue) as if that means anything or he invented that concept. There are tall statues all over the world from the Liberty in New York to Christ the Redeemer in Brazil or for a landmark the Eiffel tower in Paris. But India is no stranger to tall statues and they have been around for ages as these images show:

All these statues and symbols were far less political than the drama that Modi surrounds around his stupid ribbon-cutting of everything – he doesn’t leave even milk plants and gobar gas plants in Gujarat for the dopey CM.

In February 2022, Modi rushed to inaugurate a 216-ft statue of the Sage Ramanujacharya. For what? And not only Modi sported a “Namam” (the Vaishnav tilak on his forehead) all the other sidekicks like Amit Shah, Shivraj Chauhan, Mohan Bhagwat also rushed to make photo-ops with Ramanuja with similar tilaks and sat in prayers. All this is nothing but wanton abuse of Hindu icons for political profits (Just in time for UP, Uttarakhand elections). There is no other way to say it. While economic benefits and other opportunities are stocked up for others, the Hindu General class only gets these idiotic ribbon cuttings of their religious icons and lipstick actions. This is as if Hindus are going to sit at the Ramanuja statue or Shankaracharya and earn their livelihood and lead a prosperous life. All that Modi does is to misuse/abuse Hindu religious icons for political profits with no real accruals to them.

The only true god for Modi is not Hindu. It is BR Ambedkar for whom he wants to build a Panchtirth. This is the only way to turn a mediocre historical figure into something of a political-God to please Dalit voters and make them believe Ambedkar was the greatest solution to all their problems. The Hindu-hating BRA was a British stooge and socially has the least contribution to reforming anything other than becoming a Buddhist and abusing Hinduism:

While Shankaracharya or Ramanujacharya don’t influence policies or life of Modi. Ambedkar does influence his life, victimhood and political and economic policies. There are schemes after BRA, there are learning centres after BRA, there are economic doles after BRA. There is no Hanuman Centre for Excellence. But, putting lipstick on Hanuman with nonsensical speeches claiming there will be a “Hanuman Char Dham” or Hanuman worked to improve lives of “Vanvasis” (Forest dwellers) is the kind of nonsense that enamours foolish Hindus that Modi seeks to exploit. Naturally, Gujarat being a Hindu laboratory for BJP, he ribbon-cuts a Hanuman statue:

The entire fakery and fraud of Modi hides behind the fact that he is not a Hindu by practice. He does not celebrate one Hindu festival publicly. Come Diwali he runs off to spoil the festivities for soldiers in some army camp somewhere in the country. Mind you, he doesn’t go to any southern camp because BJP doesn’t cut much ice in the south, except a bit in Karnataka. ModiSarkar lights up tombs of Mughal barbarians and the latest is his cultural ministry wants to celebrate the “Khilafat Movement” which resulted in the genocide of Hindus. Only a “Hindu Drohi” celebrating the mass-murder of Hindus would celebrate the Khilafat movement.

There are thousands of Hanuman temples in Gujarat, big and small. Nobody needs a 108 ft statue to be devotional to Hanuman. This is the fallacy and stupidity that Modi is pushing into Hindus – that big and bigger is what you need to be “Faithful” as if everything must be like the El Burj towers of Dubai for a Hindu. Hindus don’t give a damn about the size of Hanuman or Shiva. Most of the Hindu crowds that go to Hanuman temples are those which have idols that are no more than 3-5 ft. The idea behind a politician doing this nonsense is “Look, I have given you the biggest lollipop of your god in height”. And then another worthless speech about Hanuman. I really doubt this deceiver even read Hanuman Chalisa once in his life:

The Shimla Hanuman statue that Modi mentions was not built by any govt. It was built by the Nanda Trust (the family related to Amitabh Bachchan, in-laws of his daughter Shweta). It was inaugurated by Abhishek Bachchan and his sister. Being a private endeavour, we wouldn’t have anything to say but applaud. It is when a politician like Modi abuses Hindu Gods merely for political profits that Hindus should start worrying. This man has no sense of Hinduism in any of his practices. He is essentially MKGandhi-Ambedkar-Periyar rolled into one. All three were not Hindus and, in fact, hated Hindus. The Morbi one is not the first tall statue of Hanuman either. There is one in Shimla and there is one in Vijayawada also.

All this “Hanuman Char Dham” is nonsense and Hindus don’t want more temples. What they really want is that the temples be returned to Hindu Trusts and the loot by criminal govts stopped. That Modi will not even talk of. Because he doesn’t really give a damn about Hindu temples. The beauty of this whole operation is, immediately after Modi inaugurated a Hanuman statue, there were attacks on Hanuman Jayanti processions in Delhi and other places by Muslim mobs. There have been many such attacks on Hindu processions on their festivals, some causing injury and death, and all that Modi does is watch like he’s the statue of Buddha. This is the deceptive man that claimed in his first I-day speech that there should be a 10-year moratorium on communal violence. Everything this man has uttered in all his speech is mostly nonsense and lipstick (include even his spurious concern for Balochistan in one I-day speech):

If you make such a call for a 10-year moratorium, then there has to some willingness to enforce it too. There have been hundreds of clashes in the last 3 years and not once has Modi spoken about any of it. All he does is do some ribbon-cutting, talk about some stupid Vishwas while mobs from his favorite community (for which he wears Collars from his ME bosses like a Poodle) have attacked Hindus, their temples, their festival processions, wantonly murdered here and there. The only time these cowardly rats of BJP as a govt spoke was when someone talked about a ban on PFI. The govt was quick to deny it, probably because such a ban would upset Modi’s Islamic masters.

People keep asking why Modi is silent on so many attacks on Hindus across the country and wanton violence. Maybe the problem is, he would have to hire a team to daily keep messaging his condemnation because there are so many incidents of violence every day. For a man who wanted a 10-year moratorium on violence – Modi has not even appealed for peace by all over any incident. Not once has he visited the families of victims. Not once has Modi or his ministers visited riot-hit areas, not once do they visit Hindu victims of violence. The country has been a furnace of violence across but country can go to hell, Hindus can go to hell, Modi will just run around with his red ribbon and fancy clothes. The lipstick chasing, filmy actor condemns violence in Washington or Ukraine or France but is mentally numbed in his own backyard. Muslims and Sikhs have seen his games – Hindus are the only ones getting fooled by Modi.
