Dear Friend,
With each passing day, it is becoming clearer that India's demonetisation was a social engineering planned by the global elites, where Indians became mere guinea pigs. Read F William Engdahl's expose.
Sally Dugman puts forward some pertinent questions "Do we have a sufficient supply of self-control and compassion toward our unknown descendants to curb our boundless desire for ever more merchandise, petrol, electricity and offspring? Can we find some modicum of happiness within deliberately self-proscribed limits?"
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, a self-styled spiritual guru and head of the Dera Sacha Sauda sect has been found guilty in rape case by court. Following the court verdict, his followers rioted resulting in the death of more than 30 people and injuring hundreds of others. The political leadership of CM Khattar did not take appropriate steps and the Union Home Ministry also proved weak in the management of the situation due to no proactive action and right planning.
Interesting nobody threw a stone when more than 70 children died in a hopital in Uttar Pradesh due to the criminal negligence of the government to ensure supply of oxygen cylinders!
Also more stories from around the world.

A Sinister War On Our Right To Hold Cash
by F William Engdahl
An operation that began as a seemingly obscure academic discussion three years ago is now becoming a full-blown propaganda campaign by some of the most powerful institutions in the industrialized world. This is what rightly should be termed the War on Cash. Like the War on Terror, the War on Cancer or the War on Drugs, its true agenda is sinister and opaque. If we are foolish enough to swallow the propaganda for complete elimination of cash in favor of pure digital bank money, we can pretty much kiss our remaining autonomy and privacy goodbye. George Orwell’s 1984 will be here on steroids.
Failure Of Governance In Haryana

Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, a self-styled spiritual guru and head of the Dera Sacha Sauda sect has been found guilty in rape case by court. Following the court verdict, his followers rioted resulting in the death of more than 30 people and injuring hundreds of others.

Panchkula Riot: The Thoughts Of A Wandering Mind
by Nivedita Dwivedi
Gurmeet Ram Rahim was finally pronounced guilty, as many expected, and all hell broke loose. The massive deployments of all the forces in Panchkula could not prevent the death of around 30 people and the immense destruction of property and infrastructure that resulted in the aftermath of the verdict. Not only in Panchkula, which was affected the most, but in many places of Punjab and Haryana, there was loss of life and property. Even Delhi was affected. As I write this, the situation is under some control, but still remains tense. As far as my parents are concerned, they, thankfully, were not hurt and are safe.
Hindutva Rule And Anarchy Are Two Sides Of The Same Coin
by Shamsul Islam
It has happened again in Haryana. The supporters of one baba Ram Rahim when found guilty of raping two sadhvis by the CBI court went on a bloody rampage. The RSS/BJP baba friendly government despite restrictions on gatherings allowed lakhs of baba’s supporters at Panchkula and what Nation witnessed is shocking. Railway stations, government offices, bus stands, public/private vehicles and infrastructure were burnt/looted. The media became a special target of the mob violence (such large scale violence against media happened after demolition of mosque at Ayodhya on December 6, 1992 too) in which large number of correspondents were maimed and press vehicles destroyed.

by Abdus Sattar Ghazali
Civil rights groups and Democrats Friday condemned President Donald Trump’s decision to pardon former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted of disobeying a court verdict ordering his agency to stop racially profiling Latinos.
Lying About Citizenship: Australian Politicians Before The High Court
by Dr Binoy Kampmark
Before the judicial bench, however, the same figures find themselves on the horns of a dilemma. Pull the wig over those judicial eyes – or risk perjuring yourself? With that in mind, the story about how the Nationals Senator Matt Canavan became an Italian citizen, making him ineligible as a sitting member of Parliament according to the Australian Constitution, was instructive.
American-killing Trump’s Afghanistan Speech Threatens Afghanistan, Pakistan, India And Humanity
by Dr Gideon Polya
A mendacious, bullying, serial war criminal, exceptionalist and American-killing Trump has delivered a bellicose Afghanistan Speech in which he promises endless war in war-devastated Afghanistan, threatens nuclear armed Pakistan, demands further Hindu-majority Indian involvement as a US agent in Muslim Afghanistan, and advises the world that “no place is beyond the reach of American might”. The US-imposed, 4-decade Afghan Holocaust and Afghan Genocide is to continue under more draconian rules of engagement.
Statement And Counterstance: Racism In The USA
by Sally Dugman
I’ve been upset to read that some blacks in the USA want to burn down white people’s properties and homes or take them over. It reminds of events currently happening in some African nations wherein whites are being murdered and their properties are being taken over by others. I’ve been unhappy with our recent strife in Charlottesville, VA and elsewhere located in the USA. Likewise disturbing is the thought that the USA is heading toward another Civil War based on political views, ideology and skin color. (It could happen since our country is in a broil right now.) So I was very glad to receive an emailed message from an associate of mine from one of the “Black Life Matter” leaders, along with the latter’s email address.
Being Frank About Franklin And The Founding Fathers
by Richard Oxman
Benjamin Franklin wasn’t so cool. He had upsides, but he had utterly unconscionable downsides. The former are pretty much all that’s covered in schools. And yet the latter have a lot to do with having contributed to our evolving into the greatest threat to peace on the planet; he was instrumental in advocating the great “American Myth,” for one.

Muslim Women, Pro-Triple Talaq Islamic Clergy, Hindutva And Supreme Court
by Shamsul Islam
It is sad that such Islamic scholars who believe that only they have the franchisee of Islam and Shariah have turned Islam into a draconian anti-Muslim womenreligion. According to them the only task assigned to Islam in India is to cage Muslim women, humiliate and denigrate them. They keep on chanting about equality, justice and well-being from house-tops and minarets as fundamental principles of Islam but these are not for Muslim women, these are reserved for Muslim males only. With them around, the Hindutva gang is bound to succeed in denigrating Islam and its followers. If Muslims have become laughing stock it is due to such ‘imams’ or gurus of Islam. The fact is that just ended deliberations in the SC on TT have totally unmasked the anti-Muslim agenda of these Believers.
2022: Acche Din Part II
by T Navin
Since 2022 promises are based on supposed continuation of part-1, it is important to look into the same. With the super success of the film Acche Din 1, part 2 of the Acche Din 2022 is being shot based on the success of part 1 series.
