Harris Loses or Trump Genocide Wins

Harris Loses or Trump, Genocide Wins

The polls in the USA, slated for November 5, 2024, is now on a tight rope. Latest surveys have predicted a neck-to-neck fight between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. There are also indications that in the final instance, Trump might just about make it, given the many reasons behind his steadfast popularity, especially among the White male population of America, including the working class. So much so, even a certain section of Afro-Americans, the Blacks, seems to be turning his way.

That is why the Democrats have roped in Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, including Michele Obama, in a last-ditch effort. No one knows if they will succeed, considering their bad track records when they were at the helm for long periods, especially Obama, who came riding a huge utopian high of ‘yes we can’, and who betrayed most of the promises he made, especially to the marginalized population of Afro-Americans.

Either which way, will the world become any better if this or that candidate wins? Harris or Trump?

As a journalist, I covered the American elections in 2016 in New York and Boston, and spoke to a wide-range of people. The young, educated and millennials hated Hillary Clinton, for the wars she had waged and the ghastly murder of Muammar Gaddafi as a public spectacle, among other things, but hated Trump in equal measure. Barack Obama was no more the hero he once was.

Their first choice, ‘Leftist’ Bernie Sanders, was not allowed to be the presidential candidate – despite a huge support base – by certain powerful lobbies, including, reportedly, Obama, who backed Clinton. When Trump won, there was a wave of depression across the land. Young and old, driven by anxiety, were in tears. Trump had arrived to ‘Make America Great Again’.

The latest joke on social media these days is that Harris-supporters can keep calling him a racist/supremacist, until the ‘ethnic cleansing’ is over and done with in Gaza!

The fact is that the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris establishment has backed Benjamin Netanyahu to the hilt with weapons, bombs and billions, and have chosen to look the other way while the genocide in Gaza was in full swing, despite the ritualistic homilies.

For the record, it’s going to be 50,000 dead soon, including 20,000 children, and an unknown number still under the rubble.

For the record, ethnic cleansing, resembling the nightmares of the Holocaust, is right now in full swing in Northern Gaza. Tens of thousands of people are being bombed, maimed, butchered yet again, including inside hospitals and refugee camps, those alive under the rubble are not allowed to come out, doctors, volunteers and nurses have been killed, 171 plus journalists have been murdered, starvation, thirst and epidemics are stalking the trapped and condemned people, aid is not allowed to come in, even as a trickle, scores of men and young boys have been detained and taken to unknown destinations, and, yet another mass exodus is happening in this ravaged landscape pushed by armed tanks, while the world watches in stunned silence, impotence, and complicity.

Especially Harris and Trump, and their fanatic supporters.

So, will things change in Gaza if either of them win?

That is the uncanny question which is stalking the political subconscious of all sensitive people across the world, who, still believe, that it is possible to move away from the repetitive and vicious cycle of barbarism, on to the finer and more refined nuances of civilization and culture. They include, certainly, the thousands of students and other people who protested against the genocide in Gaza, and demanded an immediate ceasefire and release of the Israeli hostages, across America, and all over the world.

Besides, those backing Kamala Harris with her Indian, Asian and African origins, and as the first possible woman president of the USA, seem to know all about Trump – and it is there to be seen in each rally of his campaign. The crass, insensitive and  masculine language, the racist ideology, the vitriolic, anti-immigrant rhetoric, and the mass phobia against ‘outsiders’.

Meanwhile, some of his former top aides, have come out against Trump. It has been claimed that he has ‘fascist and dictatorial’ tendencies, that he looks down at war veterans who were caught in the battlefield,  or, those who have been disabled in action, and that he might actually use the military against American citizens.

John Kelly is a former four-star general and was the longest serving chief of staff of Trump. He told The New York Times that Trump “preferred the dictator approach”, fits into the concept of a “fascist”, disliked the American Constitution, and threatened to use the military against American citizens whom he considered his enemies. According to him, Trump seems to have an obsessive fascination for Adolf Hitler, and often seemed to want American generals to obey his command as the Nazi generals used to obey Hitler.

 Kelly told The Atlantic that Trump wished his military personnel showed him the same deference Hitler’s Nazi generals showed him.

“Do you mean Bismarck’s generals?” Kelly asked Trump. He added, “I mean, I knew he didn’t know who Bismarck was, or about the Franco-Prussian War. I said, ‘Do you mean the kaiser’s generals? Surely you can’t mean Hitler’s generals?’ And he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals.’ I explained to him that Rommel had to commit suicide after taking part in a plot against Hitler.”

(It is not clear if he had also explained that there were some major attempts by generals and soldiers in Hitler’s army who tried to stage a coup, or assassinate Hitler. Most of them were caught and executed.)

The point is, a large number of white Americans, including women, are fanatic supporters of Trump precisely because of these reasons! They want him as that masculine, macho, misogynist, who revels in indulging in that particular kind of language! They want him as a dictator and a fascist. They want him to clamp down on dissenters and ‘Leftists’ – with Harris being dubbed as a neo-Marxist by Trump. And they want Trump to close down the borders, hound out the immigrants and their children, and ‘Make America Great Again’! For some, it actually means, ‘Make America White Again’!

As this reporter found out in 2016, many of them hide within their deepest hearts the insatiable desire that ‘slave trade’ should come back, that Afro-Americans, among others, should be treated as second class citizens, and that what the whites did, in terms of organized carnage and elimination, to the original, native and indigenous inhabitants of this land, was obviously correct.

In their warped minds, the short history of American colonialism and occupation, genocide and slave trade, was the golden, utopian past, which should be resurrected. And only Trump, the real estate tycoon, can do that.

The truth is that America is not a great nation, as their politicians claim. It never was. Across the world, it is the American establishment, which has, over the years, propped up miscellaneous dictatorships, banana republics, tin-pot fascists (as it was in Latin America), apartheid regimes (as it was in South Africa, with Nelson Mandela dubbed as a terrorist), totalitarian monarchies (as in the Middle East), and rogue genocidal regimes such as the one in Tel Aviv.

Indeed, Israel is the ‘Nazi operator’ of the US (and its Western allies) in the Middle East, backed by powerful lobbies in America, and it has continued to do now what it has been doing in the past – mass murders of innocents and targeted assassinations of opponents. None of them really believe in the principles of secular, modern, liberal, egalitarian democracy, especially when it comes to rest of the world.

So Harris or Trump, does it really matter?

After elections are over I’ll do Waqf adalt in other districts, they (BJP) don’t have any issues that’s why they have taken this up only for politics, as by elections are ahead, Maharastra elections they are speaking this issue now. I don’t want to speak their language, I’m a pure Hindusthani indian, who’s ever lives in india are Indians.”

Diwali Delhi AQI

Delhi Air Quality Remains Very Poor In Several Areas

A day ahead of Diwali festival, a thin layer of smog covered the national capital on Wednesday as parts of Delhi, air quality remained in the ‘very poor’ category, with an Air Quality Index (AQI) of over 300 recorded around 7:00 am, as reported by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

At Anand Vihar, the AQI reached 351 at 7:00 am, while Bawana recorded an AQI of 319, Ashok Vihar was 351 and Wazipur recorded 327, falling under the ‘very poor’ category. Aya Nagar recorded an AQI of 290 falling under the ‘poor’ category and Delhi’s ITO stand at 284 in ‘poor’ category.

A toxic foam was seen floating on the Yamuna River in Kalindi Kunj, as pollution level in the river continues to remain high.

Meanwhile, air quality in Bandra Reclamation area in Mumbai remained in the ‘Moderate’ category.

Meanwhile, Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders reported on Monday that 108 incidents of stubble burning were recorded in Punjab.

They staged a protest against Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann over air pollution concerns at Kapurthala House. A delegation of leaders sought a meeting with the Punjab CM to submit a memorandum but was unable to meet him.

Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva stated that 108 cases of stubble burning were reported in Punjab on October 26 alone, yet ministers from the Delhi government frequently place blame on neighbouring states, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.

“Pollution is worsening in Delhi, now regarded as the world’s most polluted capital city. Upon learning that the Punjab CM was present here today, we requested a meeting. AAP’s leadership continually attempts to shield the Punjab government. On October 26, 108 stubble burning incidents were recorded in Punjab, but Haryana and UP are blamed instead. We have data showing that stubble burning incidents in Haryana and UP are 16 and 11, respectively. If they still aren’t controlling stubble burning in Punjab, it’s political. Many are suffering from related health issues today,” Sachdeva said. (ANI)

encounter with terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Akhnoor.

We Used Unmanned Vehicle, Artificial Intelligence: Maj Gen Shrivastava On Akhnoor Encounter

Major General Sameer Shrivastava GoC 10 Infantry Division said on Tuesday that security forces used an unnamed vehicle and artificial intelligence during the encounter with terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Akhnoor. Three terrorists have been killed during the operation.

” We have used unmanned vehicle, artificial intelligence that gave us a quick and successful result… We lost one Army Dog – he was ahead when we were doing search operations, and militants fired upon the Dog. It’s due to his sacrifice, many of the lives could be saved,” Major General Sameer Shrivastava told reporters here.

“After this operation, such information was spreading that the Army had used BMP – we had used that kind of vehicle because the area was tough – with a gradient of 30 degrees and dense forest – we used those vehicles after locating militants to reach there…,” Major General Shrivastava added.

DIG, Jammu-Samba-Kathua range, Shiv Kumar Sharma who was present at the press conference along with Major General Sameer Shrivastava said they have been holding meetings including a one-off with Jammu and Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha to ensure coordination between the Army and police.

“Recently, we have many meetings – including one with (Jammu and Kashmir) LG Manoj Sinha… The aim is that the coordination between the Army and the Police continue to be there – so that we can quickly neutralise if we track any terrorist presence anywhere. For that, our synergy is increasing day-to-day. This operation is one such example…,” DIG Sharma said.

Earlier on Tuesday, Jammu Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Joginder Singh provided details about the incident.

“Three terrorists have been neutralised, and a search operation is underway. As soon as we received information that terrorists were at the said location, they opened fire at the Army ambulance. It was then certain that there were terrorists here. The entire area was cordoned off. Army, police, SOG, and paramilitary forces all participated in this operation,” Singh said.

The anti-terror operation was part of Indian security forces’ counter-offensive Operation Asan, launched after terrorists attacked an Army convoy in the Battal area on October 28. According to security forces, the terrorists fired on an Army ambulance, prompting immediate retaliation. The area was swiftly sealed off, and a coordinated search effort was initiated by Jammu and Kashmir police and Indian security forces.

The operation was led by the Indian Army’s White Knight Corps, which engaged the terrorists after round-the-clock surveillance. “After surveillance throughout the night, an intense firefight unfolded this morning, resulting in a significant victory for our forces,” the White Knight Corps said in an official statement. They further highlighted that “relentless operations and tactical excellence have led to the elimination of three terrorists.” The encounter also led to the recovery of war-like stores from the site, which, according to Army officials, will be essential for securing the area.

Unfortunately, a Belgian Malinois dog, Phantom, from the Indian Army’s canine unit, made the supreme sacrifice. Phantom, born on May 25, 2020, joined the Army in August 2022 and was part of the team pursuing the terrorists in the Sunderbani sector. He was killed while helping security forces advance toward the enemy position.

Honouring Phantom’s role, the White Knight Corps posted a heartfelt tribute on social media platform X. “We salute the supreme sacrifice of our true hero–a valiant Indian Army Dog, Phantom,” the Corps posted. “As our troops were closing in on the trapped terrorists, Phantom drew enemy fire, sustaining fatal injuries. His courage, loyalty, and dedication will never be forgotten,” the Army added.

In a previous statement, the White Knight Corps reported, “Terrorists fired upon a convoy near Asan in the Sunderbani sector, targeting Army vehicles in the morning. Swift retaliation by our troops ensured the foiling of the attempt, ensuring no injuries.”(ANI)

Lahore

Lahore Becomes The Most Polluted City In The World

With Air Quality Index (AQI) touching the mark 708, Lahore yet again, topped the world map in the list of most polluted cities of the world, reported Dawn.

With PM2.5 concentrations spiking to 431 ug/m3–86 times higher than the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) annual safe limit–the health of millions of Lahore residents is increasingly jeopardised, Dawn reported.

Even the lowest AQI reading in the provincial capital registered a dangerous 246, categorised as “very unhealthy.”

Experts stated that the severe pollution in Lahore can no longer be dismissed as seasonal, with hazardous smog persisting even in summer months, a sign of “systemic environmental mismanagement.”

The crisis stems not just from stubble burning but from uncontrolled vehicular emissions, outdated industrial practices, and ineffective environmental oversight.

Private air quality monitors across Lahore reported even higher AQI levels, with readings reaching a staggering 953 in Gulberg, 810 near Pakistan Engineering Services, and 784 on Syed Maratab Ali Road.

Yet, the secretary of the Environment Protection and Culture Change Department (EPCCD) dismissed these readings, stating that government monitors use lower-cost sensors and that private data “could not be considered reliable,” reported Dawn.

The EPCCD also acknowledged Pakistan’s lack of comprehensive research into smog sources, admitting that official estimates of vehicular emissions range widely from 40 to 80 per cent of Lahore’s pollution load.

Contributing factors include 4.5 million motorcycles, over a million cars, and numerous factories and brick kilns, many operating without emission controls.

Currently, Lahore relies on only three functional air quality monitors, with eight additional units planned for November. However, pollution levels peak between 11 pm and 5 am, coinciding with the movement of heavy trucks and ongoing construction. This leaves residents exposed to unmonitored toxic air during critical hours.

In response, Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb issued an emergency alert urging citizens to wear masks and limit outdoor activities, though critics argue that such advisories fall short.

Factories and kilns continue to operate, and construction remains unchecked, exacerbating air quality further. The government has acknowledged that nighttime air quality deteriorates due to heavy truck movement and ongoing construction, Dawn reported.

The Punjab government claims it will address the issue by adding new air monitors and improving reporting, but delays have left millions at risk. Pakistan’s reluctance to enforce environmental policies has allowed pollution levels to reach hazardous highs, making Lahore’s persistent pollution crisis a sobering example of inadequate governance and public health negligence.

Dhanteras

Markets See Enthusiasm On Dhanteras For Purchase Of Gold

The beginning of five-day festival season with Dhanteras on Tuesday has brought volumes and a perceptible enthusiasm to the markets with customers making purchases of gold, silver, utensils and utility items with gusto and auto dealers also happy with the response to the special discounts they have offered this month. 

Industry members said that the retail sector is expected to witness a significant sales boom.

In Delhi, markets such as Chandni Chowk, Dariba Kalan, Sadar Bazaar, Lajpat Nagar, Greater Kailash also saw a surge in foot traffic as customers looked for Dhanteras deals.

The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has projected nationwide retail trade during Dhanteras to be about Rs 50,000 crore.

Kumar Jain, spokesperson of India Bullion and Jewellery Association, said that there is “record-breaking business”.

“It is a big festival. People are purchasing coins, items or sets (of jewellery),  everyone is planning and purchasing as per their budget. It is a matter of great joy that people are purchasing on Dhanteras.  Around  Rs 200 crore of sale is going to take place here in Zaveri Bazar (in Mumbai),” he said. 

Industry players said despite rise in prices of gold, there is significant sale on Dhanteras.

According to the India Bullion and Jewellers Association Ltd., the price of gold in the market today was Rs  7,875 per gram for the fine gold. 

The auto market, which has seen deep discounts on some models due to pending inventory, is also witnessing enhanced interests of customers. 

A special reason for sales volumes is that major festivals including Dhanteras and Diwali are in October.       

Ajay Agarwal, FADA (Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations) Delhi Chairperson, said that Delhi market will be 1.5 times the September volume. 

He said that there is significant rise in sales of cars today. 

 “October has been very good because of Navaratri, Dhanteras and Diwali in the same month… So, customers who have been waiting for the last 3-4 months are now coming to our showrooms to purchase cars. This has been one of the very good months for the automobile business. The last few months have been pretty low,” he said.  

“In this season, we see a lot of demands for compact SUVs, small SUVs and large SUVs,” he noted, adding that the demand for electric cars is a little low because of the lack of subsidies.

“We are waiting for the Delhi government to notify the subsidy once again… CNG vehicles are in good demand… Compared to last year also, this October will be much better. Compared to last year, this season will be better…All the schemes are valid till October 31,” he said. 

Vinnaayak Mehta, Founder of The Infinity Group, a financial and stock advisor, said that the peak of festival season typically sees rise in gold prices.

“Traditionally, this period sees a spike in gold purchases as consumers buy gold for its auspicious value,” he said.

This festive day of Dhanteras is marked by reverence and traditional purchasing practices, as people seek blessings from Lord Ganesha, Goddess Lakshmi, and Lord Kuber.

Popular purchases include gold and silver jewellery, utensils, kitchenware, vehicles, garments, electronics, business tools, furniture, and even brooms, which are considered an auspicious buy on Dhanteras.

Lord Dhanvantari, the deity of health, is believed to have appeared on this day.

With Dhanteras bringing cheer to the markets and customers, Diwali will herald more colour and joy.  

Industry members said festive sales have also given a huge filip to the ‘Vocal for Local’ initiative. (ANI)

Allu Arjun Halloween

Allu Arjun Shares Pics Of His Kids Dressed Up For Halloween Fun

Allu Arjun recently gave fans a sneak peek into his Halloween celebration as he shared pictures of his two kids Ayaan and Arha, dressed up in cute Halloween costumes.

The actor reposted his wife Sneha Reddy’s story on Instagram, showcasing the kids in their costumes.

In the picture shared by the ‘Pushpa’ actor, Arha looked adorable in a ghost outfit, while Ayaan stood out with a smirk on his face, holding an axe. Allu Arjun humorously pointed out that Ayaan had taken the axe from the sets of his shoot.

In the photo, Ayaan resembled a character from a Hollywood thriller, with his white mask and axe creating a mysterious look.

“Ayaan, when did you take my axe from my shoot?” wrote Allu in his caption.

Meanwhile, the actor will be next seen in ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’.

Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Muttamsetty Media, the film will see Allu, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil reprise their roles as Pushpa Raj, Srivalli, and Bhanwar Singh Shekawat. Allu Arjun, the main lead of the film, received a National Film Award for his performance in the first part.

The film was earlier scheduled to be released in August. However, in June, the makers locked December 6 as the new release date but now they have preponed the release and it’s set to hit the theatres on December 5. (ANI)
