Thread #Hathras

Sources : The charge sheet filed by CBI in the #HathrasCase is filled with flaws and three innocents have been roped in as accused, in spite of them having strong alibis.

While the prime accused did commit the act and there is strong evidence against him, 1/n

Sources : A senior journalist with very good political connections, suddenly went out of job. He is a person capable of getting info from any political party over phone. He didn’t even call me. 1/n

I found this issue and called him. I asked him plainly, is he in search of a job.
At that time, @IndianPAC was recruiting furiously.

I spoke to a leader in DMK, who is very senior has some clout. 2/n

Do you know, what is the response of @IndianPAC ? They said, we don’t recruit, any one above 35. The reason they stated is, people above 35 years of age, don’t work hard.

The @IndianPAC thinks number crunching alone will elections. 3/n

People watching TN politics know very well that TN is a unique state. How would a Bihari Brahmin with prime ministerial ambitions be true to DMK, a party which flourished on anti-Brahminism.

Sources say, Prasanth Kishore, 4/n

Sources : TN Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, R Kamaraj gets infected with Covid19. He has been admitted in MIOT.

A few questions to @CMOTamilNadu 1/n

1) When he claims that he is providing world class health facility and claims the state has prospered under his rule, why none of his cabinet colleagues, who were infected with Covid19, for example Minister for Higher Education KP Anbalagan get admitted into a government 2/n

hospital. Does @CMOTamilNadu’s own cabinet colleagues don’t trust government hospitals ? Or, whatever @CMOTamilNadu says is a lie ?

2) When his own cabinet colleagues get infected with Covid19, and have the risk of becoming a super-spreader, why is @CMOTamilNadu 3/n

undertake political campaigns ?

3) Is @CMOTamilNadu aware that Minister Kamaraj, recently participated in the recent function to distribute Pongal gifts and people jostled to get a selfie with him and he has become a super spreader of Covid 19 now ? 4/n

4) When his own cabinet colleagues who get infected with Covid19, are crorepatis and get treatment in private hospitals, what would a poor @actorvijay fan most of whom are BPL & their family will do in case they get infected ? 5/n

Sources : We have been continuously maintaining that @ikamalhaasan is an @RSSorg product and he is a front of RSS. We also had earlier stated that Kamal’s party MNM is funded by Mukesh Ambani 1/n

The Chairman of the Board of Governors of ICARE is one venomous sanghi named Mohandas Pai. This Mohandas Pai is funding two poisonous right wing portals which not only spew venom on minorities but also spreads fake news. The two portals are “Opindia and Swarajya” 5/n

Sources : BJP / @RSSOrg makes deep inroads in Tamil Nadu.

TN Government started a local channel, named “Kalvi Tholaikatchi”. When the Channel was initiated on 27 August 2019, TN CM Edappadi Palanichamy said this : “Education is like eyesight. 1/n

The state government has taken this initiative to support students. The students can now learn from home,"

Entire cable distribution network in TN, barring a few districts partially are government controlled through a PSU called “Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable TV Corporation Limited (TACTV). 3/n

Jayalalitha mooted this and formed this to break the iron clout of KD brothers (Kalanidhi & Dayanidhi) in cable TV distribution. Earlier, KD brothers’ owned Sumangali Cable Vision (SCV) controlled entire distribution of channels. 4/n

One Thanjai Jeeeva, an ADMK man, is a benami of TN Animal Husbandry Minister Udumalai Radhakrishnan. He is the State General Secretary of Tamil Nadu Cable TV Association. He controls the entire cable distribution business across the state. 5/n

Sources : DMK President MK Stalin is completely under the control of the senior Maran, Kalanidhi. Kalanidhi, with an intention to get total control of the cable distribution business, is manipulating Stalin 1/n

that he was the one who ensured Rajini doesn’t enter into politics.

Stalin, a gullible person, has taken the bait say sources. Kindly recall Rajini’s press meet on 3rd December 2020 when he said, he will start a political party. 2/n

He said, “he had commitments of film production”. The upcoming movie “Annatha” is a @sunpictures production.

Sources add, two months back, Kalanithi Maran had assured MK Stalin that, he will ensure that @rajinikanth will never start a political party. 3/n

Rajinikanth’s Annatha movie shoot was held at Ramoji Rao Film City, Hyderabad a heavily guarded place. It was sanitized several times, before the shooting commenced. 4/n

It perplexes medical experts, how one would get infected with Covid19 when, persons who were not tested for Covid are never allowed inside the shoot spot.

SEX, DRUGS & SANTA CLAUS

It's Friday, March 278th, 2020, and this is the longest thread we've ever written. Let that sink in.

So, we need to talk about how we're going to spend our holidays. Before we get into it, let's pause to appreciate being able to have this talk. (1/13)

We should be proud of our efforts that got us here. But we must stay the course. The winds can quickly change if we let our guard down.

We'll still celebrate the holidays...no one is taking that away from us. It'll just be different than normal. So let's chat about that. (2/13)

You've likely heard the term 'harm reduction' before. It's a pillar of public health based on reducing harms while still respecting autonomy. Evidence shows that just telling people to avoid certain things can be futile, so this approach guides you on being safer about it. (3/13)

Yes, when things are really bad, stronger methods are needed (i.e. lockdowns), but we're not there now.

So, why not say DO NOT GATHER WITH ANYONE & be done with it? Because experience tells us it doesn't work. Look at the ill-fated "Just Say No!" campaigns of the 80s-90s. (4/13)

Or go watch Reefer Madness. It's...it's a thing.

In our approaches to sexual health or substance use, our goal isn’t to simply tell you not to do something and then call it a day. It’s to provide you with the best information available so that you can make safer choices. (5/13)

Thread on the killing Iran's chief nuclear scientist.

1/ In September 1993, then-Microsoft exec Nathan Myhrvold wrote his landmark memo "Road Kill on the Information Highway", laying out a dozen-ish predictions on the rise of the internet

27 years later, I think it's a super interesting case study. Let's evaluate the predictions -

2/ PREDICTION #1: The rise of a surveillance society - police bodycams, CCTV, 24/7 personal recording, and deepfakes

GRADE: A-

Pretty close!

3/ PREDICTION #2: Telecommuting, an end to the "tyranny of geography" and gerrymandering

GRADE: B-

Alas, the electoral college still matters today. The WFH prediction hits closer, but turns out it took two and a half decades + a pandemic to get things going

4/ PREDICTION #3: Telco convergence - phone companies become cable providers and vice versa

GRADE: A-

Honestly this one was a bit of a layup, although it took 15 years longer than anyone expected

5/ PREDICTION #4: The rise of online neo-banks

GRADE: C

Three decades later, and physical banks still exist. Neobanks have a presence in emerging markets, UK, and basically nowhere else. Regulatory inertia: officially a thing

THREAD: The following tweets are for the purposes of stories that will appear in Sunday Times Daily. The videos and images depicted may be upsetting but are deemed to be in the public interest. This is the story of the Ayanda "Borhey" Mtila as far as we were able to verify it.

On 13 October Mtila as defacto overlord of the Boko Harram gang, allegedly carried out his penultimate cash-in-transit robbery. Sources say he sustained a head wound in a shootout with security guards. Some friends believe he was killed by a fellow

He died two days later, on 15 October, after allegedly being in a coma for more than a day. His funeral was a spectacle, held on Nyanga Sports fields on 24 October and attended by hundreds of people. Sources say it was made possible by Paarl businessman Lukhanyo "Spur" Mangena.

When Congress, MSM operatives, etc were allowed to openly incite terrorist groups (under cloak of "activism", "protest") to commit crimes against us: target lists, biz sabotage, cybercrimes, threats, physical violence-
it led to using these groups for other coordinated treason.

Weaponizing peasantry is always to benefit the elite class. So if peasants go to prison and few- if any- big names go down, it will be a tragedy. These people were exploited by gov game play from all sides... left to believe delusional "truths" planted by CIA&friends & also left

to believe in their cause by White (Gray?) Hats as well, instead of declaring these Marxists groups for what they really are, and setting right the lies laid out to get people to believe these groups are simply activists. They've been used by all, and their lives are ruined...

I'm not in favor in letting them go. I'm in favor of stiff punishments.
What I advocate for, is INCREASED punishment to all in power who raised these terror groups up as "activists" for the purpose of using as operatives, armies, civil unrest, color revolution, election rigging,

and TREASON!
How DARE they use our own citizens against us!!!!
This must be a heavy penalty crime going forward if we are ever to heal as a nation. The *first* time members of Congress incited groups to rise against us should have been the LAST. Immediate loss of seat and jail.
