Strange. The reply came in, but I cannot respond. And it's just with you.

Jim, I am unable to write any messages to you.

🙏

Thank you. I needed to be reminded. 🙏

I see where most people get their information from. There are a lot of things about world cultures and belief systems which are wrongly named, poorly described or oversimplified in English. Part of the problem lies with natives who are either ill-equipped or afraid to correct Western narratives. Those who try are often overlooked or undermined. I believe if one really wants to learn about another culture or belief system or its symbols and representations, it's a good idea to immerse oneself into it or try to find sources which can really educate rather than confirm our rather simplistic notions. This applies not just to "the Western gaze". It also applies to how people of other parts of the world view the West. I say this as someone who was born in a traditional Hindu family in India, went to a Catholic institution for 12 years, lived in the US for 10 years, and returned home for the love of my own family, country and culture. I owe much to the US for inspiring me to discover myself.

Yes, you can. And Indians are idiots enough to erect a sacred Hanuman statue in a Christian country, where people would neither understand nor respect our Gods. Jai Sree Ram! Jai Hanuman! WWG1WGAWW

And BTW, I hate seeing all the crosses and huge Christ statues in my country, especially on temple hills. I hate forcible conversions by evangelists, and insulting of Hindu Gods by them on our sacred motherland.

I am not in favor of erecting Hindu statues in the United States, which is a Christian nation, but calling him a "Monkey God" or "demon" is wrong. You're free to do it though. Jai Sree Ram! Jai Hanuman!

The best thing anyone ever said. Thank you.

Thank you for your time and effort, Jim. You've been my lighthouse during the darkest of times.

Vivek's parents are Tamil Brahmins. Usha's parents are Telugu non-Brahmin, from what I gathered. Not sure how they could be first cousins.

Beautiful! Thank you.

LOL

Maybe the DS made a pact with Modi that if he coerces us all to sell all our souls, they will "allow" India to land on the moon, and also ensure he will be the selected PM until 2047.

Haha.

Nice! I will give this to my daughter so she can quote it when someone asks her why she doesn't go to school.

Fantastic DZ! Lovely plane! Beautiful sky! I could smell the jet fuel! Couldn't help writing, because it made me nostalgic. Greetings to all anon parachutists.

I felt suspicious when I went to the Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum in OH, way back in 1998. I was told Neil Armstrong lived around there, but that he was always grumpy and never talked to anyone. I got curious and read up a lot on the internet after coming back home. My brother, the only person I tried to speak to about it, didn't get it. Ditto with 9/11. I spent so much time watching the same footage. It didn't seem real at all. During my days in Albany, NY, I visited the 9/11 memorial museum downtown. The narrative around ground zero seemed so fake. What happened in its wake confirmed that it was all fake. I can't believe that even after COVID so many are not awake.

You really still believe what you saw and heard in the media? I was born in India. I lived here all my life, except for the 10 years that I spent in the United States. For a long time, I believed the media too, although the truth I saw in front of my very eyes was different. When I went to the US, I saw that it was the women in the west who were dehumanized and degraded, and stripped of their natural gifts and privileges, in the name of being liberal. I later discovered how spreading distorted and damaging atrocity literature about our country (among many others) was a small part of a BIG, very well funded plan. Time for everyone wake up! After all, WWG1WGAWW, right?

Thanks a lot for sharing this. Although everything they talk about is familiar to me, this documentary might be useful to those who're on the verge of waking up. Very nicely edited. Every word is worth listening to.

Well said! It's got to be infuriating, but it's true. What a beautiful country it was!

"The Dark Crystal" is another one.

Reminds me of the movie Monsters Inc. Looks like they have already shown us everything we need to know, except it was all disguised as animation movies for children.

tathaastu!!! 🙏

Arundhati Roy...

Yes! Loving it!

Truth!

🙏🙏🙏

No need to imagine anymore. We're seeing it right in front of our eyes.
