As we wait for the transition of power from despot to democrat, Facebook (Zuckerberg) has taken it upon itself to aid in the obstruction of that power transfer, facilitation of an insurrection narrative and disregard for the will of the American electorate.

 In other words, the Social Media monopoly Facebook commands globally has gone full fascist in an attempt to preserve the corrupt and criminal hold on power by Republicans and Trump Administration.

Aiding and abetting a coup d’état.
As if there weren’t enough other reasons to dismantle Facebook’s monopoly, Zuckerberg is playing his cards and revealing clearly that Cambridge Analytica election interference was not just a onetime anomaly, but is now a feature of Facebook’s business model.
Megalomaniac Marc has now revealed the true colours of Fascist Facebook.

Facebook is a weapon to manipulate the masses. A tool to carry out disinformation campaigns with impunity.

And the response of the left... is to delete their Facebook account.
As if the deletion of a Facebook account will do anything. It might send a message that your virtues are principled, your morality superior. But it enables the weapon to be continued to gaslight and manipulate the electorate.

An inherent flaw in the left’s critical thinking.
Corrupt and criminal actors really don’t give a damn about the left’s virtues, beliefs or values. Virtue signalling is a useless waste of time and effort. It only enables crimes that will destroy the very principled who are “challenged” by the thought of using Facebook.
While millions ponder if the high road is indeed the best approach, Facebook is saturating the globe with calls for insurrection, narratives of hate and gaslighting so intense it’s unbearable and will result in violent chaos. Globally, not just in the US.
By placing virtue at the pinnacle of principled action, the left continues to slit its own throat. Or at the very least hand the knife to the perpetrator.

We are at war and people close their eyes and count to three, devastated when they find danger upon opening their eyes.
Principles are great. Virtue is inspiring. But wars aren’t won by principles & virtue signalling. Battle requires more than indifference to criminal adversaries willing to exterminate those who dissent to a power grab.

War requires mental & physical commitment & to fight back.
As the left continues to smugly offer taunts of “loser” and “failure” to the far right, the right is preparing to respond to those taunts with brutal force. And Facebook is enabling that preparation and logistical planning.

What did the left think fascists would do? Leave?
The naivety and hubris is stunning. But that is the character flaw of the self righteous. So confident in their superiority, they forget to pay attention to reality.

Winning the election was a momentous victory.
Getting Republicans and the 70 million US voters who prefer fascism to concede power is going to be much much more difficult.

Fascists fight to retain power.

American fascists are fighting to retain power.
But the virtuous are going to delete their Facebook account. Like that means something? The very thought is laughable, ridiculous, and humiliating.

The right is willing to fight to the death to preserve their hold on power, and the left is considering deleting Facebook.
The absurdity and disparity of perception could not be more stark.

Wake up! The next 75 days will determine the future fate of the globe. Are you prepared to risk your life? Take up arms? Defend free and fair elections? The right is willing to defend fascism.
The average human mind is predictable & sadly so limited. Denial of reality protects people from experiencing pain, angst, fear, horror, disgust, etc.

Convinced of our own magnificence & exceptionalism, we overlook existential threat until it’s breathing down our neck.
I have literally been warning this was going to happen, daily, for about 3.5 years. It’s a predictable pattern of behaviour. Which I knew was the eventual outcome the day Trump was elected. I’m not exceptionally talented or perceptive. I just don’t fool myself with denial.
If Trump’s and the Republican’s refusal to concede the election comes as a surprise, you have been denying reality.

How many times have I been mansplained that the beliefs and ideology of the right are not fascism? Exuberant belief, but perfectly legitimate politics.
Populist rhetoric and disinformation are not valid methods to gain political support.

The globe has had 4 years to prepare for this moment. But all the left prepared to do was vote. Not defend that vote.

So confident that good wins over evil, every time.
Guess what? That’s a Hollywood ending. In reality, the left gets off its collective ass and defends freedom, democracy and fair elections, or democracy is done.

Toss out the rose coloured glasses and live in reality for awhile.

The fight for human existence has begun.
It’s do or die. Literally, not figuratively.

Yes Biden needs to address the legal issues being passed as rationale for frivolous law suits.

But the battle for a fascist dictatorship is going to be fought amongst the public, not in the courts.
Disinformation is being amplified widely by Facebook. Allowing the far right and assorted militias and Dominionist spiritual warriors to coordinate, motivate and activate. Many of them are armed.

That’s reality.
What the left does next determines our fate. It’s time to stop celebrating the easy battle victory. And start organizing to address the overall war.

Principles, virtue and sanctimony are irrelevant now. Defending democracy requires stamina, strength and unity of purpose.
I’m not advocating taking up arms. I’m advocating having a plan in place to address the right if THEY take up arms would be highly advisable. That risk increases daily.

Immediate cessation of gloating and taunts of the right is required.
A peaceful transfer of power is impossible when the left keeps provoking anger, humiliation, rage & extremism with Social Media witticisms and haughty derisive commentary.

Public pressure to accept the election outcome must commence. It is not a foregone conclusion.
Wake the F up and start treating democracy seriously. And I’m not just referring to Americans. This is global. Anyone causing divisions in the electorate right now is fanning the flames of WW3. And should be called out for it.

And for gods sake quit virtue signalling!
So read the embedded thread. Banning is calling for beheadings, Trump fired the secretary of defence. Republicans refuse to concede the election. Putin refuses to acknowledge Biden’s presidency.

We have very little time to get organized.
If you want to avoid all out physical combat & war, you better develop a plan and activate it immediately.

Support truth, facts and honest journalism.

Join others in peacefully condemning any obstructionism, wherever it’s found. US, Canada, UK, Australia, France, etc.
Alberta has a premier that’s obstructing a COVid response. If you don’t think that’s related to US Republican’s obstructionism, you’re in denial again.

Charlie Angus is continuing to gaslight Canadians with a fake scandal that’s been debunked.
Canadian Mainstream Media is gaslighting readers and viewers by giving the far right a platform to spread their disinformation.

Obstructionists are denying reality and refusing to address urgent issues across the globe.
Public pressure to remove obstructionist policy is required. A general strike, mass protests, letter writing campaigns, demands for Emergency Measures. These are all actions that are peaceful protest and clear indication of dissent to far right fascist policies.
I will no longer engage with the far right, or with the delusions perpetuated by those in denial of reality.

Everything I’ve prepared for is now upon us.

Get in the game folks. Reality sucks, but it’s the best chance you have of surviving the next 75 days.
Sitting in stunned disbelief or virtue signalling will only enable fascism to take hold.

The coup d’état is not limited to the US. It is a coordinated global attempt to wipe out democracy permanently.

Sometimes conspiracies are real. This one unfortunately is very real.
Keep faith in unity and we must trust one another. Partisanship is irrelevant.

To win this war we must act as an undivided democratic force of dissent and resistance to fascism.
Our WW2 vets fought for the right to freedom. This war is a fight for the right to exist.

Dr. Fauci is a renowned expert.

Here he communicates why the vaccination of as many people as possible as quickly is possible is required.

This completely debunks the conservatives rationale that lives


I’ll explain in more detail.

We now have two deadlier and more contagious variants of Covid circulating across the globe. The vaccines developed are less than 95% effective. It’s more like 50%, maybe less.

Some believe it’s hardly worth the effort to achieve 50% efficacy.

This is untrue. Viruses mutate quickly and effectively when transmitted from person to person. Becoming infected allows the virus to mutate. Eliminate transmission or widespread infection, and the virus’s ability to mutate into deadlier forms is eliminated.

While the vaccine may not prevent infection, it will boost human immunity that transmission is more difficult. Reduced amounts of covid transmission means less opportunity for the virus to mutate.

That’s how everything works.

The same applies to toddlers and teenagers. (No they aren’t viruses, this is an analogy).

The busier toddlers and teenagers are, the less likely they are to get into trouble. Which is why a good parent keeps their toddlers and teenagers active and engaged in supervised activity.

Part two. Explaining where the plutocracy’s beliefs and values of treating people like pawns to be sacrificed at a whim originates.

It’s fascism.

💥NOTE: These threads are meant to be consumed in entirety, not just the first tweet.


What is the common characteristic of all fascist regimes?

Social Darwinism.

Fascists believe they are the epitome of human evolution or divine creation. They often credit god with bestowing cream of the crop status on them alone. But it’s based on Social Darwinism.

For a myriad of reasons, fascists believe they and they alone are the chosen people. They have been given divine permission to exert dominion over the globe and it’s resources, which includes all other people. There is little anyone can do to sway that opinion.


Social Darwinism was used to justify colonialism and the brutal treatment of indigenous peoples and dispossession of their land. All to enrich the plutocratic elite. It also justifies how the wealthy view the poor/workers as chattel to control & command at whim to make profits.


Social Darwinism is the rationale for human bondage. It goes back several centuries. Whether it’s rule by the fittest or control of human breeding for the best profits is irrelevant. The belief that some humans are BETTER than others is central to fascism.

A lot of people are trying to figure out what UCP means by putting this biblical quote out into the twitter verse at Christmas.

Many have piped up with commentary and criticized the mix of religion and politics. A convention long held in Canada.


The quote is often repeated at Christmas. “A child is born...” makes reference to the birth of Jesus. Makes sense.

But what does it mean?

Christians (and other religious observers with their religious texts) have made an art form out of interpreting what passages mean.

To those most radically devout (some might say zealously faithful), hidden divine meanings are gleaned from “correctly” reading the bible.

That’s what Dominionists believe. That god himself wrote the bible. Through inspiration of the actual authors, & only they can interpret.

And thus, the “inerrant“ bible serves as a strict road map to save ones soul.

Many devout Christians view the passage as a prophecy made centuries before the birth of Christ. A promise made by god through one of his prophets. Jews interpret the passage very differently.

The Anglican Priest is (obviously) correct about this being supersessionism, and a form of Anti-Semitism.

Troublesome as it is for a Canadian provincial govt to be tweeting out Anti-Semitic propaganda, that’s not the only meaning this passage has for Dominionist Christians.

Seems conservatives have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement.

How does it feel to the average Albertan to be considered second class? Apparently UCP, CPC and other conservatives across Canada are exempt from COVID public health orders.

I wonder if that means anti maskers are first class citizens? What about church pastors and parishioners? Are they first class status too?

But teachers, physicians, police, first responders, grocery workers, and every other Albertan is considered second class.

We don’t get exemptions to avoid public health orders.

What kind of government flouts law and order?


This is not explained by the confused and poorly informed “freedom” focussed Q’Anon and the fanatical Evangelical Christian’s who evidently can’t manage to worship at home.

These are fully informed political aids and politicians. Refusing to be limited by public health orders.

Not so much!

Not since Calgary police began enforcing the public health edict for masks and for gatherings.


Pair this violent Calgary protest with this opinion piece.

We have evidence that Kenney is instigating STOCHASTIC TERRORISM.

This is what Trump is currently using to effect a coup in the US.

Maybe a journalist can ask Kenney why he stoked the ire of far right immediately prior to ordering a lockdown?

As Albertans, we are unfamiliar with the tactics used by fascists. Albertans are naive to subterfuge and sedition.

Stochastic terrorism is common in eastern European nations. Russia & Al Qaida use these tactics all the time, but with much more regularity, brutality & deaths.

Here’s an article from 2011. Spelling out the process of creating a “missile” or “lone wolf” by appealing to those individuals who are mentally unstable. Experts have known how stochastic terrorism works for well over a decade.

How I built a 7 Million+ strong COMMUNITY on social media, in 5 years.

(A thread)

Video content is the past, present & future.

Golden rule of social media : People gravitate towards HUMANS & their stories.

The easiest way to attach people to your journey is COMMUNICATION through video.

If you cant come on screen, at least use voice. Video>Photo>Written.


From day 1 :
- Wrote down ALL ideas on paper (content pieces, growth strategies, future targets)
- Decided to expand my team, whenever my income allowed me to.
- Make. Money. First.
Don't just rely on YouTube income or brands for money. You may also provide SERVICES to fans.


But in the long term, BIG money will come from brands.

Therefore accumulate numbers and create your own niche.

How to get numbers?
- Entertain or Educate or Motivate

- Create videos/pieces that address people's most common questions/thoughts about the niche you've chosen.

As you grow through your base strategy of video creation (could be YT, IG Reels or even LinkedIn Video)...

You can further community loyalty through sharing pieces of your personal story. How?
- Vlogs
- Captions that expose your mindset.
- Tweets

Be a good storyteller.

So let's check in on "Newsguard," one of the Orwellian groups (e.g., The Atlantic Council) that totally reliable sites like @voxdotcom and @axios use to decide what is "Unreliable" and "fight disinformation."

One example:

OK, so "The Daily Wire" and "https://t.co/oEa89coNak" are unreliable. Fair enough, maybe they are (I don't use either one of them).

So let's look into one of our new official arbiters of "reliability," Newsguard!

What's their advisory board look like?

https://t.co/5N8op70VE1


OK, so maybe a few names jumped out at you immediately, like, oh I don't know, (Ret.) General Michael Hayden, former Director of the CIA AND former Director of the National Security Agency in the run-up to the Iraq War in 2003! Google him, he's famous!


Newsguard is all about "seeing who's behind each site," (like how Michael Hayden is behind Newsguard?)

All they want to do is fight "misinformation." That's laudable, right?

Also, Newsguard has a "24/7 rapid response SWAT TEAM!!"

So cool!
https://t.co/EDN3UXvBR9


Ok, I'm not a journalist or a former CIA director, so I have no idea what's true or not unless someone tells me, so hey, Columbia Journalism Review - what do you think of Newsguard Advisory Board Member Michael Hayden?

LRT: One of the problems with Twitter moderation - and I'm not suggesting this is an innocent cause that is accidentally enabling abuse, but rather that it's a feature, from their point of view - is that the reporting categories available for us do not match up to the rules.

Now, Twitter's actual policy is that wishes or hopes for death or harm are the same as threats. That policy has been in place for years. But there's no report category for hoping someone dies. You can only report it as a threat.

Which gives the moderator, who doesn't spend long on any individual tweet, mental leeway to go, "Well, there's no threat here." and hit the button for "no violation found".

They have a rule that says persistent misgendering or other dehumanizing language is not tolerated, but again - there is no reporting category for that. We have to report it as hate against a group.

So again, the moderator looks at that tweet, briefly in isolation, and sees what, without context, might look neutral or matter of fact. A series of tweets referring to somebody consistently by the same set of pronouns or a statement that somebody is a man or woman.

Many people are stressed by social media, especially Twitter.

Here is what I do to keep my sanity:

1. Be selective who you follow. Choose uplifting people and people you enjoy talking to.

2. Mute and block liberally. “But freedom of speech”. Nonsense. You choose your friends and parties in real life. Same applies to social media. It’s not immoral to ignore people who dunk on you. This also includes the annoying “devil’s advocate” personalities.

3. Choose your online persona. I mostly use Twitter for work and for engagement with the .NET community. But I’m still a human. Don’t let others dictate what you can and cannot talk about.

4. Choose wether you use your real name or a pseudonym. Social media is about authentic and real human encounters. Your name isn’t as important has how honest you can be in your conversations. Being anonymous is totally cool if that lets you be who you are.

The chorus of this song uses the shlokas taken from Sundarkand of Ramayana.

It is a series of Sanskrit shlokas recited by Jambavant to Hanuman to remind Him of his true potential.

1. धीवर प्रसार शौर्य भरा: The brave persevering one, your bravery is taking you forward.


2. उतसारा स्थिरा घम्भीरा: The one who is leaping higher and higher, who is firm and stable and seriously determined.

3. ुग्रामा असामा शौर्या भावा: He is strong, and without an equal in the ability/mentality to fight

4. रौद्रमा नवा भीतिर्मा: His anger will cause new fears in his foes.

5.विजिटरीपुरु धीरधारा, कलोथरा शिखरा कठोरा: This is a complex expression seen only in Indic language poetry. The poet is stating that Shivudu is experiencing the intensity of climbing a tough peak, and likening

it to the feeling in a hard battle, when you see your enemy defeated, and blood flowing like a rivulet. This is classical Veera rasa.

6.कुलकु थारथिलीथा गम्भीरा, जाया विराट वीरा: His rough body itself is like a sharp weapon (because he is determined to win). Hail this complete

hero of the world.

7.विलयगागनथाला भिकारा, गरज्जद्धरा गारा: The hero is destructive in the air/sky as well (because he can leap at an enemy from a great height). He can defeat the enemy (simply) with his fearsome roar of war.

Surkanda devi mandir is a famous shrine of Hindus located near Kaddukhal distt of Uttarakhand, 11 Km from the town of Dhanaulti and 35 Km from Mussoorie.
The Temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas spread all over Indian Subcontinent and is dedicated to Goddess Surkanda.


Nestled on a Hill at an Altitude of 2700 m approx, the place offers a splendid view of the snow capped mountains, the picturesque scenic beauty that offers an experience of the lifetime.
The Temple build in the traditional Garhwal style exuberates the Architectural splendour.


The origins of the Surkanda Mata Mandir is attributed to Goddess Sati, consort of Bhagwan Shiv who in a rage immolated herself in her arrogant Father Daksha's Yajna Kund bcoz he didn't invite Bhagwan Shiv in the Yajna.


Devastated by the death of Sati Shiva wandered all over the cosmos performing Tandava-The Dance of Cosmic Destruction.Fearing the total annihilation of cosmos, Gods requested Bhagwan Vishnu to pacify Shiva.Bhagwan Vishnu then used his discuss to destroy the burning corps of Sati.


The pieces of Sati Mata's body then got scattered all over the region which were later established as Shakti Peethas by Bhagwan Shiva himself.Its believed that the head of Sati fell here and it was called Sirkhanda Mata Temple before, but with passage of time it became Surkanda.
