BREAKING: Bangko Sentral maintains key interest rate at 2%. | @meltlopez

 BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno: The inflation environment remains benign. Latest trends show an increase in food prices, but this is transitory.
BSP: A resurgence of COVID-19 cases globally tempered economic activity. Optimism on vaccines has lifted market confidence, improved prospects for global growth.
BSP: further easing of quarantine measures should facilitate economic recovery in PH in the next few months.
BSP: Accommodative policy rates together with fiscal support will quicken PH recovery.
BSP's new inflation forecasts:
2020: 2.6% (from 2.4%)
2021: 3.2% (from 2.7%)
2022: 2.9%
BSP: The higher estimates are due to global oil prices, rising food costs.
BSP: The outlook can be described as continuing to be benign.
Will BSP scale down regulatory relief given low takeup of loans? Deputy Governor Francis Dakila: There are green shoots that we are seeing that show increasing demand.
BSP on regulatory relief measures for bank: As the recovery remain tentative, domestic demand's trajectory remains on the downside. Given this, this emphasizes the need for continued policy support from the BSP.
BSP says such policy support shall continue to be in place until economic recovery comes underway.
BSP: The decision to withdraw monetary policy support will be considered 'very carefully'.
BSP: While monetary policy can be most effective in the crisis's first phase, gov't spending and structural measures have a much greater role in ensuring sustainable recovery, restoring the economy's potential growth output.
BSP: It can be emphasized that liquidity remains ample.
BSP on banks' reserve requirements: Any action will be data-dependent.
BSP: We have been looking at indicators of financial market activity, and market liquidity remains ample.
BSP: Liquidity-easing measures have so far released P1.9T to the financial system. That's almost 10% of the country's GDP. https://t.co/4w2ggBwlgF
BSP: We believe our policy actions are appropriate to underpin increased credit activity but uncertainty surrounding the pandemic has limited usual transmission of policy.
BSP: While financial market confidence remains fragile, business and consumer confidence is rising as COVID-19 vaccines are being delivered globally.

The Philippines still does not have vaccines ready for inoculation 9 months into local quarantine.
BSP: The uptick in inflation could probably be felt until the first half of 2021. Going further, we expect inflation to temper.
BSP: The inflation trajectory indicates a temporary shock.

Food prices, especially for vegetables, have been rising in recent weeks.
BSP: The key difference in today's episode is it's taking place when demand is muted, key structural reforms are already in place like liberalization of rice imports.
BSP: We would welcome greater circulation of liquidity in the economy, away from deposits in the various instruments of the BSP.

Setting the record straight for the dishonest media, far left actors and the grifting right, please feel free to share this post on their fake news threads:

1. This is NOT Nick Fuentes. Nick was not inside the Capitol building nor Nancy Pelosi’s office


2. Nick was wearing a suit the entire time.

3. Nick has never called for the killing of any state legislators during his show.

These are all mass lies and disinformation being put out there to slander his good name, get him deplatformed and perhaps try to get LEO’s to visit


We take all misinformation and slander very seriously. It’s one thing for a casual troll but it’s another when you threatened the ability of one to earn a living and to incriminate an innocent man. It’s disgusting and everyone involved should be ashamed.

We are looking to means to hold these actors accountable for their slanderous, and dangerous actions.

This article is false and misleading. Nick was not in the capitol in Nancy Pelosi's office.

Remove this falsehood immediately.

It is VITAL that you understand we got here because we allowed Fox News, Newsmax, Alex Jones, Brietbart and MANY MANY others to create a siege mentality in the right.

One of the most disturbing aspects of a siege mindset is a willingness to reflexively believe ANY claim against

the perceived enemy that echoes or aligns with the established belief. Put simply, the right wing talk sphere trained its listeners to be willing to believe ANYTHING about “libs,” without the least requirement for there to be evidence to support it. It obliterated reasoning as

A typical leftist strategy is "accusing the opponent of doing what YOU have done."

What do I mean by this?

You trigger a riot, kill majority and in the backlash if minority gets killed you call it "genocide of minority."

You spread fake news 24*7 but label THEM as fake news.


The 2 SIMULTANEOUS COUPS IN 🇺🇲

#Thread #Strategy

I'll try to decode the game of chess currently going on in the US.

I'm taking a shot at predicting what will happen on Monday - 11/1/2021.

Read at your own peril.

A NEW GREAT GAME?


Even in India when FIRST the Godhra carnage took place, who STARTED the RIOT?

WHO KILLED WHO?

BUT WHAT DID MSM PORTRAY IT AS GLOBALLY?

WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK FIRST WHEN YOU MENTION THE WORDS 'GUJARAT RIOTS'?

Godhra Carnage definitely not. Coz no one even remembers it.


Democrats are accusing Trump of a COUP.

Who do you think has REALLY BEEN THE ONE TO START A COUP? THINK.

A CENTRAL FEATURE OF A COUP IS CUTTING OFF COMMUNICATION OF THE CURRENT LEADER.

What and why the sudden URGENCY to BAN TRUMP ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS?


Revolutionary leftists LOVE slaves that accept their fate and don't fight back.

The reason why the viscerally hate Trump and Modi is because they fight back and don't take shit from leftists.

Godhra Carnage was action. Reaction everyone knows.

This is incredibly shoddy work @TRF @hugo_greenhalgh @rachelmsavage @antozappulla and does not stand up the @Reuters principles of integrity, independence, and freedom from bias

My case is not "pushing back against transgender rights" it is case about belief discrimination.

It is about the right of people not to be discriminated against at work & by service providers for holding or not holding a belief about the nature of sex and gender identity.

Adding up some numbers in the public domain is not much of an investigation.

It is the work of a pocket calculator and 15 minutes.

The rest of the time was spent looking for the fabled shady right wing money... none was found


“Basically, money is being used to bully" says Clara Barker

Is Thompson Reuters saying that women like me, @BluskyeAllison @8RosarioSanchez are bullying the institutions that discriminated against us by having the temerity to raise money to hire lawyers ?

“It certainly feels like there (are) deeper pockets for those challenging our rights than those trying to protect our rights” says Clara .

MAHARAJA CHHATRASAL BUNDELA was the great Bundela King who revolted against the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb.
Chhatrasal Bundela was born in year 1649 CE in Maur Hill of Bundela region to Champat Rai and Lal Kunwar. He was the descendent of Rudra Pratap of Orchha.


His ancesters were the vassals of Mughal Emperor. He drew inspiration from his father and revolted against the alien rule of Mughals. He was just 12 yrs old when his parents died in fight against the Mughal Army of Aurangzeb in 1661.

When his beloved father attained martyrdom in the year 166, the young Chatrasal was present in the last battle of his father against the Mughal and from these valiant campaigns,..

..he gathered the courage to free Bundelkhand from Aurangzeb’s rule.
He joined the Mughals initially, and was recommended by the Rajput King Mirza Jai Singh to be recruited in the Mughal Army in order to support their Deccan Campaigns.


But serving the alien rule of Mughals which brought chaos and misery to Bundelkhand was unacceptable for Chatrasal Bundela and his father’s incessant struggle against the Mughals kept the fire of independent Bundelkhand alive in his heart.

THE BATTLE OF SARAIGHAT (1671)

Lachit Borphukan's humiliation of Aurangzeb.

The battle of Saraighat was a naval engagement fought on the Brahmaputra river near Saraighat between the M0ghul empire and Ahom kingdom in 1671.

Guts, resolve and glory!

(Elaborate thread)


Koch was a state situated between the dominions of M0ghuls and Ahoms. For Ahoms, it was a buffer state for keeping M0ghul territorial expansions at bay.(1)

Times changed when the ruler of the Koch kingdom, Nara Narayana passed away in 1587 resulting in Koch being divided into 2. Western Koch was ruled by his son Lakshmi Narayan and the eastern Koch by his nephew, Raghudev.(2)

Lakshmi Narayan formed an alliance with M0ghuls after which he attacked Parikshit, son of Raghudev, in 1602. Parikshit Narayan was defeated while his brother Bali Narayan took refuge in the Ahom Kingdom.(3)

The M0ghuls used it as a pretext to invade Ahom kingdom. The first battle between them took place in 1615 leading to a series of engagements in which both sides had their shares of ups and downs resulting in a stalemate.(4)

Krishna and the False Vasudeva
#story

Paundraka Vasudeva was a King mentioned in Bhagavatha Purana. He was friend of Jarasandha, the king of Magadha. He believed that he is Vasudeva Krishna.
Once Paundraka Vasudeva received a letter from Shishupala, stating that he wanted


protection from Krishna, because it was Rukmini's wedding and Shishupala thought Krishna would take away Rukmini.

Paundraka Vasudeva agreed and went to Vidarbha, the Kingdom of Shishupala, but failed to provide protection as Krishna took Rukmini away. Paundraka Vasudeva was


feeling sad. His Minister's cheered him.
They said that Paundraka Vasudeva was the real Vasudeva and Krishna is a cheater. Everyone started to believe this and soon Paundraka Vasudeva soon started to taunt Krishna by saying that Krishna was a cheater.
Paundraka Vasudeva then


challenged Krishna to a war and Krishna said that he would give Paundraka his Chakra and Gadha. Paundraka suspected some foul play and went to King of Kashi for his protection. In battlefield, Krishna came in front of Paundraka, and said that he would throw his Chakra and Gadha


to him. But, Krishna's throw was perfect that the Gadha hurled him to the Ground and the Chakra killed him.
Krishna soon killed king of Kashi with an arrow and his head went flying to Kashi.
Thus Victorious Krishna was recieved by people of Dwaraka.
Hare Krishna 🙏🕉🙏

1/ Recently, I learned about the concept of ‘struggle porn’. This refers to the fetish of sacrificing nearly everything (health, relationships, time) for your startup. I fear that this label is creating more harm than good.

2/ @nateliason wrote a fabulous article about this topic, which first introduced me to this concept. Everyone should read it:

3/ @alexisohanian also recently spoke about struggle porn, though referring to it as ‘hustle porn.’ (as the co-founder of @hustlefundvc, obviously I take issue with this pejorative definition of ‘hustle’, but that’s another topic)

4/ Struggling in itself isn’t necessarily bad. Let’s be real here--if you’re going to start a startup, you will struggle. Founders should expect to work harder generally than employees. You will be challenged in many ways and also be super rewarded in others. This is normal.

5/ However, if you are over-indexing on hard work without clear purpose and degrading your mental health/relationships in the process--then this is very bad and we obviously should not celebrate this behavior.
