As the fog of the war of the initial Operation Sindoor settles, it seems that the Trump administration was working behind the scenes against India in a far more profound way than we thought. What does that mean for us? Let us analyze.
Nothing about Pakistan's behavior makes sense. Why is it acting like the sacrificial lamb tied to the tree by the hunter so he can get the lion? Yes, the hunter may or may not get the lion, but the lamb will be gone!
In one of the most significant speeches of this century, Indian PM Narendra Modi laid down his doctrine against terror. It will have a pathbreaking impact on the world. Our detailed analysis.
In March 1966, however, John Lennon gave an interview where he made an explosive statement that got a lot of insults and push-back from the Christian groups. In an article ran by English journalist by Maureen Cleave, Lennon was portrayed as saying:
Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue about that; I’m right and I’ll be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock ‘n’ roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It’s them twisting it that ruins it for me.
It was the “We’re more popular than Jesus now” part that made the splash.
In one part of the protest against the Beatles, a radio station in Longview, Texas – KLUE Longview – organized one of the initial “Beatles Bonfire”, where their records were burned in a bonfire. Something like the one shown below.
The KLUE Longview had called for the bonfire on August 13, 1966.
It is said the Ku Klux Klan was involved in the agitation.
According to the Beatles Bible, the Grand Dragon of the South Carolina Ku Klux Klan was on hand for the event, where he reportedly made a wooden cross to which he nailed and burned one of the group’s LPs. (source)
It obviously brought a lot of PR and visibility to the radio station. The figures of those who attended varied from 1500 to 4000. Everything belonging to the Beatles – sweatshirts, sheet music, magazines and records – were dumped into the bonfire.
As the bonfire was lit, rock’n’roll music played – ensuring no Beatles music was allowed.
The next day, dark clouds gathered over Longview. And a major thunderstorm stuck the small town. And, a large lightning bolt hit KLUE’s transmission tower. A bolt so severe that it wrecked most of the transmission equipment.
What’s more, even their news director was hit and had to be hospitalized!
So, those who tout Jesus as the savior and go around doing all kinds of shenanigans to show miracles – remind them of the “miracle” that happened in Longview. When lightning struck the very station which wanted to protest a man who said that he and his band of musicians were more popular than Jesus (and his band of Apostles).
If lightning was any indication, Lennon may not have stopped at “we’re more popular than Jesus” but could even have said that “We’re more powerful than Jesus!” and millions would have believed them that day.
Pahalgam Attack was an Islamist terrorist attack targeting Hindus by Pakistan-backed terror group. It was blatant and terrible in its plan and execution. What happened and why? We evaluate.
When rage is combined with religious and ideological absolutism, avenues of freedoms vanish. Dissent is met with ruthless subjugation and every atrocity is covered up by ambivalence. Let's deep dive.
Why do seemingly normal people commit atrocities and genocides? More importantly, why do millions other go along with these crimes as participants? We explore the Perpetration-Induced Trauma and its impact on the societies.
Sandeshkhali was the continuation of the strategy of Genocidal rape unleashed on the Bengali women from years. The powerful have used women, Hindu women, as a weapon of a diabolical war. It is time for Kaali to rise up.
