... FNC's Tucker Carlson interviews 'Dom Tullipso,' the alleged head
of a group that claims to be paying thousands of protesters a
$2,500/month retainer to protest either against, or in support of,
Donald Trump at his inauguration this weekend. 'Tullipso' does not
admit that claims made on his website are not true and claims to have
an annual budget of more than $80 million.

>> The "hoax" part of all this doesn't make any sense.. like what's the motive, except... if it is following the classic intelligence agency strategy of setting off a red herring that mocks an act that's actually going on for real behind the scenes. So that if anyone spots the real thing going on and tries to warn about it, they get told "oh it was all a hoax, we already know!"
It very much looks like cannon fodder IS being recruited to stage
violence. Doesn't have to be direct out-and-out money paying. The
establishment has already spent more than enough efforts in
galvanizing a lot of anti-Trump people. They only need to facilitate
the logistics of transporting them to DC and to fan their anger now.

What I'm foreseeing : Like what happened in Ukraine and what we've
previously seen happening in Venezuela against Hugo Chavez, at the
height of it all, when live cameras will be on them, hired hitmen will
kill several anti-trump protestors during the protests - by gunning
them down, or setting off a bomb in the crowd, or both. The media will
immediately claim that Trump supporters did the killing and the
confusion that ensues will ensure that proper fact-checking doesn't
happen and the dominant opinion put forth will become "fact" just like
on 9/11 within hours everybody was echoing that Bin Laden did it even
though absolutely no real investigation had taken place yet. They will
fan the flames to promote full-on violence. During this time Trump may
or may not be assassinated. But even without this assassination, a
"revolution" to take down the establishment will have been unleashed
as an angry response to the killing of the protestors, just like what
happened in Ukraine.

Even on many videos and articles I'm seeing comments by people
pretending to be on the pro-Trump side aggressively calling for the
killing off of the anti-Trump protestors at the inauguration "if they
try anything funny", encouraging violence to the pro-Trump folks too.
So it could also happen that this encouragement succeeds and at the
inauguration there is an actual case of enraged pro-Trumpers killing
anti-Trump protestors.

If this does come to pass, the direct beneficiaries of this
"revolution" will be.. ironically, the establishment and the new world
order. Their agent Obama will get to stay in power or appoint another
puppet or Hillary herself will claim the throne.

Solution to this mess? Defuse tensions. People on both sides of the
argument who don't want more war to happen, need to publicly declare
opposition to violence, even if it is presented as a reaction to some
immense injustice like a televised gunning down or blowing up of
anti-Trump protestors. And Oh my God these people working on making
these protests happen on inauguration day need to realize they are
aiding and abetting the putting of people in harm's way. They need to
drop this whole attitude of righteousness and evil-painting. It is
much safer and non-manipulable way of expressing dissent by just
boycotting and starting to do local solution-promoting, like growing
your own food, not co-operating with bad laws.

The times are urgent. These people need to slow down.

#ModernFairyTales - A story and a call to action

Got this on a whatsapp group. Brilliant, so sharing and I've put a
call to action at the end.

"And then the princess found herself locked in a tower surrounded by a
stinky moat with crocodiles and a huge scary dragon guarding the
door,"

read the mother, with her eyes wide and voice deep.

Then, she made a sad face and continued softly,

"So, the poor princess waited and waited for her prince to come--"

*"But, why was she waiting for the prince, mumma?!"*
asked the little girl, impatiently.

The mother added, "To come and save her, silly."

"But, mumma, why did she need a prince to save her?" the girl asked again.

"Uhh... hmm..." the mother was at a loss of words.

The little girl said proudly, "If it were me, instead of waiting for
years and years for a prince, I would have tamed the dragon and flew
out of the window."

I would have rescued myself."

She discarded the book and walked away,
"This princess is stupid."

The mother whispered with a broad smile,
"I guess it is time to rewrite the fairy tales."

*_ModernFairyTales_*

*Lets teach our daughters to be self sufficient n independent rather
than waiting for a prince or a miracle to happen!*

-------

Its an inspiring idea that I want to see becoming a reality. I want to
see a collection / listing of #ModernFairyTales.

Here's something from my end. While the story above was about women
taking more control over their lives, A few years back I re-wrote an
old Indian story, Eklavya, to touch upon the issues of caste / class
inequality, the "history is written by the victors" angle and the idea
of self-designed learning. I preserved the key events of the story,
but gave it a completely different perspective and different
cause-effect. Called it Eklavya 2.0 . Check it out!

And if you'd like to spark off something about this on the
twitterverse, here's some handy links:

#Demonetization : intentions vs intelligence

Do we really need to get so emotional about this? Just a few simple points:

1. Only a small fraction of India's enormous untaxed income is held in cash.
2. The inconvenience caused to the public outweighs any potential benefits.
3. Terrorists etc can easily get aadhar cards or steal identity of
others and can do even more ghotalas with digital money.
4. It is much easier to print fake 2000 rs notes and hoard them than
it was to print fake 500rs or 1000rs notes.

I know many people were getting itchy and desperately wanted that
"Something MUST be done!", but brainlessly doing things that harm ONLY
your society's most vulnerable sections, don't even do baal-waaka of
the real crooks, and legitimizing it all with a patriotic brush or
glorifying compulsory sacrifice is any day worse than doing nothing.

Terrorism, hoarding, smuggling, black money, undeclared assets, swiss
bank accounts and worst of all corruption by bureaucrats and
politicians and control of your local police force by the biggest
goons of your area will continue unaffected by demonetization.

Dear supporters of demonetization, we're not questioning your
intentions. We are only questioning your intelligence.
