Trumping the left





Donald Trump on 8th Nov 2016 did something more than being elected the 45th president of USA.
Because its him that has broken the glass ceiling.An outsider crashing into the party of Washington insiders rotating power among themselves.  Someone who calls spade a spade, who points out that the emperor is indeed naked, someone who speaks for the forgotten people , someone whos not backed by corporate and lobby interests. Sure, he’s largely a failed businessman,but Hillary Clinton is a failed politician in a failed system. She’s no Margaret Thatcher or for that matter even Teresa May. She’s the wife of a former president, who’s record is often glossed over by leftist media, and we all know very well that a politician’s wife or children wanting to fill up his vacant place isn’t democracy, its kleptocracy, its the stuff banana republics are made of.
He’s dealt a deafening blow to the mainstream media’s credibility.
And he’s made it evident how out of touch of reality the progressive leftist upper class is, this includes not just the media but the entire metropolitan  urban upper middle class and the various colleges whose campuses are left dominated. 

Something the mainstream media had termed as a cake walk for  Hillary Clinton. Right from Clinton’s second term as president, the media had anointed Hillary Clinton as the first future woman president and the even then serving president as the future “first gentleman”.  With all the backing of the Wall Street, the corporate lobby, the weapons lobby, the media and special interest groups, this was her election to lose. And she lost. By a rich playboy who had taken up politics as a hobby just two years ago.

It is actually the last eight  years of Obama that have created the rise of Donald Trump. Obama came up riding on the wave of anger with the Republicans who had heaped two wars  and a recession in eight years on the country.  He promised to cure everything, but did nothing but play safe, just like any other career politician. He’s done nothing for even the black community from where he comes, forget about other groups. He’s made America much less relevant, and much worse than when he first came to power. Racial tensions are at their worst and as this election shows, the country is deeply divided.

The last three presidential terms were by a sexual fiend, a war mongering halfwit and a smooth talking incompetent. So, stop pretending that America has fallen into a hell hole the moment Trump was elected. It been there for quite some time.

But the left is never known for introspection. Immediately, the filth began to roll:-

This one straight calls half the voters as uncouth waiting to molest women:-
Whipping up the race victimization frenzy:-

This one looks more like praising the chaos than reporting on it:-




And how could the celebretards be left behind? :-


Rest can be found here:-
And to speak of the college educated out of reality public-



Left: Manhood, liberal style
Right: Empowered tears .


Awww...snowflake, go to sleep in the safe space of your gooey brain to the sweet sound of Hillary deleting her emails from her private server.


So this is the future generation, who cant accept that the opinions from the other sections of society matter too, and that people from every strata of the society need to have their vote do the deciding Another liberal hypocrisy , of people wanting a classless society caring nothing about the opinions of someone outside their circle. If these students can't take losing an election, they need to go back home and let their mothers nurse them, because that is how infantile they are. 

Some of whom have taken to the streets for rioting, along with the other freeloaders who constitute a huge chunk of the liberal voter base:-


Top: An upside-down flag, which is typically reserved for military distress signals in times of grave danger.
Below: Burning the same flag which you think is in distress.
Make up your minds, clowns.

Honeybunny, Orange hair just talked about grabbing p***y, but Billy boy actually grabbed it throughout his political career. He’d turned the oval office into oral office. But thats ok, isn’t it?
Some glimpses  of the anti Trump protest:-

Liberals have absolutely lost it. On media, at businesses, in colleges, and now on the streets nationwide.So, its totally acceptable for liberals to call out for killing of the rival candidate and destroy public property as per the liberal media  that is doing a great job fanning this, but its racist and facist if someone calls out their BS. All this chaos is being whipped up into a frenzy by a media desperate to further demonize the GOP candidate into losing to the unpopular and flawed Hillary Clinton, her supporters are not ready to accept that not everyone shares their twisted views, and America cant be run by their logic.
 Because there is no bigger hate monger & intolerant than a liberal. There is no group bigger than liberals who keep racism alive and even fan it for their own sustainance. There is no bigger morally deprived people, no bigger egoists who never care whether their plans work or not, as long as they are so very safe from the chaos and violence caused by their policies. Noone hates the working class more than the liberals, and thats why they are at the forefront demeaning the working class , or whoever doesn’t have some fancy degree. 

To liberals, tolerance is, by definition, whatever their opinion happens to be. So, to be tolerant, you have to agree with them. People who don't even know what tolerance is shouldn't be lecturing everyone else on the subject. Liberals talk incessantly about tolerance and yet they lash out whenever anyone dares to present a view that doesn't toe the liberal line, even assaulting them if necessary. In short, they are hate filled people who accuse their opponents of behaving the way they do on a regular basis. 

And they destroy the societies they live in, by using minority against majority &  propping up hate groups by pinning vicitimhood on them, stall every social reform or economic development as they thrive in misery , They have no qualms about bringing the worst kind of people from beyond their borders just to break the social fabric of the majority and create their own voterbase. The result is seen today by the glorious rioting scenes all over post this election.

Lesson for India:- The likes of CNN and Huffpost  is what happens when you don’t nip weeds like NDTV and Scroll in the bud.
Imagine the opposite, imagine if, that after Obama got reelected in 2012, republican voters had smashed some cars and beaten up some people. 

To sum it up:-


She lost. Because now public patience with the establishment and its favourite children is running out. Because people were aghast that their next president to be a self appointed women’s rights champion was funded by regimes who had the worst record against women’s freedoms. Because one cannot just wish away the 33000 deleted emails( remember, Nixon got removed from presidency for Watergate, and deleting 18 minutes of Watergate tapes made his position much worse), the shameless embezzlement of money meant for charity (Haiti’s curse has hit you hard, Hillary) and other purposes via Clinton foundation, arming jihadi groups to fuel more wars for the weapons and oil lobby and destroying two secular regimes as well as two countries in the process, wanting to flood the country with Syrian “refugees”, bringing ties with Israel to an absolute low, plans to expand Obamacare into a Government-Run, Single-Payer System, fighting voter ID laws as being racist (as the dead vote democrat in awesome numbers), the list goes on..

This is Hillary’s record, in the simplest language:-

As an Indian, I’m no fan of the Republican party either. Its hijacked by bible thumping lunatics (just like the Democratic party by the left), has given some horrid presidents who wrecked havoc in their country, as well as rest of the world,the latest two examples being Ronald Reagan and the Bush father & son. Both the Democrat and Republican party in the long run have been bad for India . But in the more recent times, it has been the like of the Democrats like Clintons who have been promoting vested interests in India and encouraging anti India lobbies. Donald Trump wont be great either, but he’s lesser of the two evils, and looking at the lows of Indo American relations right upto the late 1990s, even that is a relief.

Lastly, to the Indian Americans:- American policies against India have always been on the adverse side. Try to change that by being a bigger political force, and not merely by bragging about your perfect life to your relatives back home. Please don’t vote merely who will provide H1B visas, vote for the politicians who are willing to change this.

India doesn’t need conscription




We often hear emotional appeals from a big section of people that the best way to ensure India’s safety and to ‘’discipline’’ the youth, compulsory military service should be made mandatory.

Is that really the answer?

Conscription, or drafting, is the compulsory enlistment of people in a national service, most often a military service. This practice dates back to ancient times, and continues in a number of countries to date. Conscription is controversial for a range of reasons, ranging from religious to philosophical, to not supporting the government’s participation in the given conflict.

Compulsory military service is necessary in the following cases:-

·         When a country has a very limited population. It could be a country like Israel which is surrounded by enemy states and hence needs every able bodied man or woman to serve in the army for a specific period. Or it could be a sparsely populated relatively peaceful country like Finland, which keeps a bare minimum personnel in the forces and fills the rest by conscription.

·         Powerful countries like Russia and USA, which are apex powers with a gigantic military industrial complex. The military influence of these countries go well beyond their borders. In case of USA, it has been at  war one way or another, for much of its  existence as a nation. USA has more than 800 military bases across the world, and its weapons manufacturing lobby ensures that the govt has no other option but to buy what they produce.

·         When a country is undergoing a civil war, or is under existential threat owing to both heavy internal disturbance or external aggression.

·         When a country has the mechanism to reintegrate the discharged conscript into meaningful work in civilian life.

 Even though conscription has to be used in such cases, its not always that it gives the desired results.

USA eliminated the draft system in the 1970s, after the Vietnam war where it got its hands bloodied, and as its military became more high tech. The  US armed services found that they needed relatively fewer recruits to serve longer than conscription provided. As the numbers that were needed shrank, the unfairness of the draft became more prominent. Contrary to the image portrayed, the youth always found ways to become “draft dodgers”, that included either decamping to Canada, making a nuisance of themselves to everyone in authority, in case of rich daddy’s kids straightaway buying their way out, and deriding those who served. Russia too is no different in this regard , where besides the rich buying their way out of the draft, allegedly half (75000 out of the annual 150000) of  eligible conscripts (ages18-27) dodge the draft by various means , may it be with PhD enrollment, allowing them to put off service until they age out of the draft, or by feigning illness by bribing the medical authorities or serving as policeman or fireguard. This inspite the fact that the conscription period has been brought down to 18 months.

A huge number of defence personnel find it exceedingly difficult to find employment after retirement in civilian life which matches the level of their service in the forces. Barring the technical people, most find that their skills cannot be used outside the forces, and hence, in a huge number of cases, they have to inevitably settle for something which is very less than what they are worth. If this is the condition for people who have served all their working life in the military, it must be understood that there is  absolutely no mechanism in process to absorb back a poorly skilled conscript who will be discharged after his compulsory service is over.

Today’s highly sophisticated and specialized militaries in the world have little or no use for short term soldiers, and today’s leaders have no interest in giving significant returns to conscripts and in many cases, talk about manpower reduction.In old days of foot infantry and cavalry warfare, with little mechanization, there was a need for just about every able bodied person as the theatre of the conflict expanded. Today, any competent  military , high tech or otherwise, needs just a small fraction of its country’s population to operate. Even in case of an all out war breaking out, conscripts trained for just a few weeks will fall like flies (The western front in WW I is one big example) and in case of non combat guard duties, could turn into a case difficult to handle, owing to the lack of temperament that a regular soldier develops as a part of his training.

“If the object is fighting, a person trained only for a few months is useless. In a noncombat defense position, he would be worse than useless. He would be dangerous.” – Philip Gold , Against All Terrors: This Nation’s Next Defense

The example of our dear neighbor is very telling in case of military training for ‘’talented youth’’ gone wrong. Its ruled by three A’s- Allah, Army and America. And it’s the Army that has the country. It got a boost when US money poured into it for the 1979-89 Soviet Afghan war. Thousands of Deobandi madrassas were established in Punjab province by CIA-ISI combine, and having madmen like General Zia ul Haq at helm only made things worse. Thousands of recruits sprang out of these semenaries and were also sent to wreck mayhem in India, in Punjab and later in Kashmir. Today, the same set up survives, and has become a nightmare for Pakistan, as it has found out that not all the terrorist groups can be used against India, and many of them are openly attacking Pakistani forces and civilians. Pak army has been fighting a disastrous war in Waziristan since 2004, which has caused as per official figures more than 10000 deaths and casualties (real figures can be anybody’s guess). The terrorists that they are fighting come from the same establishment which their own military and intelligence had set up three decades earlier.

USA has the problem of discharged conscripts/servicemen facing various issues like homelessness, unemployment, drug abuse, suicide. And in their last two wars, they have mostly died for Halliburton and Blackwater than for stars and stripes.


What will happen in India if people of criminal tendencies and disturbed mindsets get military training, and after discharge are recruited by gangsters or political parties or jihadi organizations? And even without this scenario.,how many cases of rage killing will we see?

Wastage of skills will be another issue. Not everyone is cut out to be a soldier. Not everyone carries the temperament to wield weapons and execute orders to the best. When labor is both free and abundant, it will be squandered and abused, and paid the least and this is what happens always. The US government took advantage of its free supply of almost unlimited manpower by underpaying its servicemen, thereby losing many recruits who might have chosen a military career, and also getting killed/ruining many others who could have had developed necessary skills in civilian life. In case of US, the draft was abysmal, making the budding scientist clean trash in the base, giving the sickly guy meal delivering duties to field hospitals, or the budding sportsman to be sent out to be killed in action. People with powerful parents got cushy positions, while the poor got the horrible tasks. If this was the case in days of raising mass armies, what can be the result today when the military is much more high tech and requires less manpower to run? Raising the pay happened when volunteer service was introduced and it eliminated the need for the draft in US.

The cost of compulsory military service will be astronomical  as organized compulsion costs more than real volunteering. Direct costs would include assembling, sorting  and training millions of youth, their deployment, mobilization. Indirect costs will include clothing, medical coverage, accommodation, leaves, law enforcement needed for such huge numbers. Not even the richest country on earth can afford it, and its out of question for any country with a population of 200 million plus.  Can one thousand conscripted youth be trusted with a task which is handled by twenty well trained soldiers? Forget about being a help, they will be a liability to the full time soldier, and might even compromise the safety of the unit.

India has no dearth of able bodied young men who can become good soldiers. The shortage is for officers to the rank of major, which cannot be filled by conscription. And the most important thing is that, India has no military industrial complex, and inspite of being the third largest army in the world, has negligible presence in global conflicts. We do not have any territorial ambitions, not do wish to be part of any international theatre, besides UN peacekeeping.

The people who make an appeal for conscription, need to understand that anything that is forced, ceases to be a ''service'', and does not ensure the personnel best suited for the job to be recruited in it. Infact it brings down the quality of the entire organization. The Indian armed forces are professional and voluntary, and thats how they function the best. There are many noble ways to serve one’s country. Bearing arms happens to be one of them, but that’s not the only one.
