Shadow Warrior by Rajeev Srinivasan

The article is available at https://www.pgurus.com/the-lament-of-the-kulaks/ The positioning of the ongoing agitation, mostly in Punjab and Haryana, has been brilliant. Full marks for marketing, because we are programmed to be sentimental towards annadaatas . Food, after all, is pretty elemental. Farmers everywhere are a dour lot, prone to being glum -- often with justification -- about bad weathe...

Of course it’s too soon to make any authoritative pronouncements about the effect of the Biden presidency, but the first signs for Asia are none too good. There were anodyne noises about Asia from Biden though he seems allergic to the term ‘Indo-Pacific’, but the memory of Obama’s feckless “pivot to Asia” is emboldening China.  To be succinct, China is rampaging, and having a field day. It cannot...

i said india-china border. pardon me, i meant “india-tibet” border. and quite honestly, i am not a big fan of sun-tzu. but there is the very interesting manual of warfare, “Unrestricted warfare” that is more or less what they follow: use all sorts of leverage; wage economic, cyber, biological, chemical, warfare; use strategic resource capture (eg lithium); use tons of fifth columnists and embedded...

In contrast to the outgoing Trump Administration, there are disturbing signs that the new Biden Administration in the US will revert to the unsuccessful appeasement strategy of eight years of the earlier Obama presidency. While Barack Obama pontificated, looked professorial and twiddled his thumbs, China essentially captured the South China Sea. Given a Biden administration full of rehabilitated O...

* what is the proximate issue? the repeated suspension by twitter of user @Trueindology for no good or apparent reason * what is the preponderant issue? systematic silencing of a non-left perspective in twitter india in particular, but also in the rest of the world, eg. the US * what is the root cause? the ability of the military-industrial complex in the US, ie the Deep State, to set a narrative...

This is the podcast version, in 12 mins, of the message I sent out by mail yesterday, assuming some readers would prefer audio over text. There’s also new, and even more alarming, information about mRNA vaccines. A group at Imperial College, London, is working on a ‘self-replicating’ mRNA, so that once it gets inside a cell, it creates copies of itself that will then create the Wuhanvirus spike pr...

Am I right to be sceptical about the extravagant claims for this new vaccine? An earlier version of this article (that became the podcast) was published at https://chintan.indiafoundation.in/articles/the-god-vaccine-is-it-the-second-coming/ Excerpts: The God Vaccine? Is it the second coming? Let us temper expectations about the immediate end of Covid. The announcement by US giant Pfizer and startu...

Sorry guys, this ended rather abruptly because I got a phone call which I had to take. I thought it wasn’t worth re-editing and re-recording. I did cover the US SC stuff briefly.
