Secrets of Deep State that are Hidden | Aadi Achint and Sanjay Dixit uncover the veiled mysteries behind the Deep State

Dixitji and Achintji have provided an outstanding expose of what is going on in the world and how things are being controlled by these hidden forces. Many people don't know about the deep state or pretend that one does not exist. Understanding who is behind the deep state and the kinds of dirty nefarious back room manipulation including assassinations of high profile people (e.g. kennedy, sadam hussein, gadafi, etc) carried out by deep state operatives is worth your time in this YT. Mind control and agenda control are the main goals of the deep state. The unofficial money stash that funds all activities is never reported anywhere and the wealth is of an order of magnitude higher than any official wealth statistics. BTW the initial seeding of this wealth came from looting two of the most prosperous nations in the world - Bharat and China. The Britshits committed the largest holocaust in Bharat via the deep state, to grow poppy for worldwide drug trade. They drugged the Chinese using the poppy grown in India and neighboring China territory.

The Deep state frowns on any concept that does not allow them to make money - independent things like ayurveda, homeopathy, native seeds for agriculture, making popular stuff not under their control, etc. Education, media, MICs, international institutes, banks, worldwide trade, political power and much more are under the deep state control. Protests, wars, are side distractions where money is laundered into legit stuff. ESG is a hook into global corporates to keep them in line.

Every Indian needs to understand the deep state to get a better understanding of geopolitics and geoeconomics.

J Sai Deepak & Annamalai On dravidian ,Modi ,decolonisation , Hindu Temples & Culture Of Tamil Nadu

Shri J Sai Deepak , an engineer turned litigator turned debating counsel who appears before the High Court of Delhi and the Supreme Court of India, has established himself as a specialist in intellectual property litigation, competition law, drug regulatory laws, indirect taxes, and technology law .

Annamalai Kuppusamy, the Tamil Nadu state president of BJP is one of the sharpest young politicians in the country at present.

I am constantly disappointed by our so called experts in terms of our security architecture.

I mean, what is the role of a doctrine when you are faced with an idiot who is intent on destroying his countries future because he hates India. And he thinks that China is a better bet for his nation.

Our national security interests in the maritime domain are very simple.

1) Ensure freedom and safety of shipping from anywhere in the world to any port in India. And. From any port in India to anywhere in the world.

2) Make sure that no outside enemy power is able to gain a foothold in Indian Ocean region.

For point no. 1). India lacks the force ot perform that mission independently of our partners. But given the capacity of our partners, we are relatively well equipped to perform the mission at current levels of our international trade.


With an increase in our international trade we will need to increase our ability to control that trade.

That's not a doctrinal matter.

For point no 2), we already have the Indira doctrine. WRT, the IOR. What we need is the political will to execute that.

Speech on innovation, entrepreneurship, challenges & Bharat's Innovation potential by Supreme Court Lawyer J Sai Deepak

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alf7KQndl2U

Sai posits that India is churning out traders not entrepreneurs. The former are into goods and services, the later comes up with something novel (innovation) which changes the world. Elon musk is a good example of entrepreneurs.

The Indian/Bharatiya education system is at fault. The current system does not let people to question the very premise of many concepts taught in school and look at things anew. For a long time until 1835 the old Bharatiya education system survived despite repeated invasions into India, all four chatur varnas had the benefit of ancient education system. After the Angrez education system was introduced in Bharat, there has been a steady degradation of inquisitiveness of the student. Many in bharat lost touch with their native language/native intelligence and adopted the Angrez way of life and thinking.

The Constitution of Bharat is a consequence of history and not a sacrosanct document. Lokanath Misra who was a reviewer of the initial constitution of Bharat objected to the use of India as the name of Bharat. He proposed an amendment to change India to Bharat. Article 1 states: "India that is Bharat", shows a divided psychology, we retain the colonial past of India and the ancient Bharat which was well known and familiar. Removing the Britshit shackles of many systems that pervades India (judiciary, constitution, administration, police, army, political setup, driving on the left side, cricket, etc) is the first step in reverting back to the unique identity of Bharatiyans, to get back to its old past where inquiry in education led to innovation, novel thinking and much more. Bharat needs to turn its youth into entrepreneurs not mere traders. Edu is not regurgitation of the old but to blaze forward with new thinking, ideas and much more. Everything that we know today can be changed for the better, it takes an entrepreneur to show the way. The question is whether we are up to the challenge and institute change across the board.

[bala]

This topic is very important since current civilization has too many experts in some deep domain and there is no over arching thinker who can put together these domains and strategize future plans and thinking. Civilizations have been lucky to have some great men/women who can think about strategy and tackle the world at large. One name comes to mind for Bharat and that is Chanakya who perhaps first codified the topic for the world. Since his pioneering and enormous contribution, we are yet to see another Chanakya. However Bharat requires someone who can articulate a cogent thought for Bharat to pursue. We can't have experts of domains to come up with this thesis. It requires higher helicopter view of many things and a vision of a national strategic narrative. This is not mere national strategic security (which is a domain), but includes civilizational excellence in many spheres.

If you think the US has a national strategic narrative that is not true. The US excellence is only a few decades and is now in the cross-roads of uncertainty. Just blazing forth (though good in its own right) is not enough, when you have failures across the world in wars, its excellence is in clash with universalism. The US ties up with dictators and aligns with characters who don't espouse universal ideals just to achieve its narrow objectives. Hence the US does not have a proper national strategic narrative which can endure its civilization. Its globalism is now questioned, europe is in doubt about its future. All the new fangled junk like wokes, LGBTQ, ESG, DEI, etc are not going to be accepted by the rest of the world.

China is exclusively pursuing marxism to the core. It briefly allied with the US suspending marxism to pursue capitalism which saw its rise very quickly. Now that the US has dis-entangled from China, we see a China completely lost as to what it can do going forward. They are reverting to marxism but what happens to its national strategic narrative. It is a slippy slide downwards.

In Bharat, a national strategic narrative with universal principles is firmly united in Bharat's ethos. In the G20, the Global south and many nations appreciate the universal nature of India's interaction with the rest of the world. It is not aggrandisement of mere wealth exclusively, but to conduct oneself with universal appeal (like Bharat did with Covid vaccines). This is what provides civilizational continuity. Bharat is the only civilization which never had confrontation with anyone and even in wars, dharmic principles are adhered. These are enduring principles. However, considering others aren't dharmic, we have to fine tune national strategy. The strength of the armed forces and Bharat being a nuclear power we can fine tune national strategy appropriately to include national security. In other words, Sri Krishna in BhagavadGita states that you have to fight adharma wherever it occurs, it is our duty. You cannot shirk from this responsibility.

Around 32:00 in this YT Mr. S. Gurumurthy, Chairman VIF (Vivekananda International Foundation) talks about strategy for Bharat's civilization. Vice Admiral KK Nayyar was a strategic thinker and the memorial lecture recounts his immense contributions in the Indian navy and his strategic thinking.

They have 1 harvard type Megan from US which keeps harping on their old model "either with us or them", but don't understand any other model like multi-polar world, now with the new phrase "opportunities and challenges". But others welcome the multi-polar world. The world is staring at a new condition - oil is drying up in a decade or so. The dominant dollar was the currency of oil and with this valuation sustained radical loonies, war, and the two-polar world. With de-dollarization (this is inevitable) de-radicalization is the outcome. With these two things happening, the consequence is a new paradigm and everyone needs to get used to the new norm. In a new norm, there is new thinking, new working relationships and this is where Vasudeva Kuttumbakkam is the well known path that India is espousing. All the old models have to be thrown away, UN requires reforms, leaders have to give up their old ways and there should be acceptance of world reality.

Chinese-manufactured cranes are poised to assume a critical role in the loading and unloading operations at the Vizhinjam multi-purpose and container transshipment port in Kerala, which falls under the management of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone



US To Invest Billions In Replacing China-Made Cranes At Ports Amid National Security Concerns


https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/372 ... y-concerns

What Happened: The Biden administration is concerned that the widespread use of Chinese-made cranes with advanced software at U.S. ports could pose a national security threat, reported The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.

The administration is planning to invest over $20 billion in port security, including the domestic production of cargo cranes, over the next five years. This investment will be drawn from the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed in 2021.

"By design these cranes may be controlled, serviced and programmed from remote locations," said Rear Adm. John Vann, who leads the Coast Guard cyber command. "These features potentially leave PRC (People's Republic of China) manufactured cranes vulnerable to exploitation.”

The U.S. subsidiary of Mitsui, a Japanese company, will receive the funding to produce the cranes. This will mark the first time in 30 years that these cranes will be built domestically.

he video is a conversation between the host Pankaj Saran and Ambassador Kamal Cbel about Indian foreign policy. Ambassador Cbel served in the Indian Foreign Service for almost six decades and is currently the Chancellor of the Jawaharlal Nehru University.

The conversation covers a wide range of topics, including:

The challenges of the contemporary world and how India is positioned to address them
The role of the Ministry of External Affairs and other institutions in shaping Indian foreign policy
Prime Minister Modi's approach to foreign policy, including his focus on building relationships with other major powers and developing India's domestic capabilities
The specific challenges posed by China and the United States
Cbel argues that the world today is more complex and interconnected than ever before, and that India needs to have a multifaceted approach to foreign policy in order to address the challenges it faces. He highlights the importance of diplomacy, but also emphasizes the need for India to develop its own economic and military capabilities.

Cbel praises Prime Minister Modi for his efforts to strengthen India's relationships with other major powers, such as the United States, but also acknowledges the ongoing challenges in the relationship with China. He concludes by arguing that political stability and decisive leadership are essential for India to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

Very instructive YT on the secrets of Deep State that are hidden from public. In Hindi by Aadi Achint on Sanjay Dixit's Jaipur Dialogues.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebSHZq-dIQ8

Note: how much they whitewash things, mix some good work with their dirty work, just to confuse you, all behind the scenes. All the world's rich dudes across various sectors are variously inducted into the club. Their money is parked in banks which the deep state controls. All worldwide revolutions, wars, instigation for chaos is well orchestrated by the Deep State. They control of the mind of the world and it is amplied/emphasised via the media which they control. There is very intense study (think tanks) on which way you think and whether that thinking is inimical to their global agenda. Anything anathema to their agenda and you are tarred and made a caricature in the world media / press / TV. Censorship is part and parcel of the agenda, they also control things like "Fact Checkers" and allot themselves as the custodian of any moral debate, they are the highest authority and the rest have to follow them. Foreign policy in many nations are at the whim of the deep state. You oppose them, and they take you out behind the scenes. The supply chain of goods/services is tightly controlled by the deep state. GMO seeds is to get rid of native seeds and thereby remove control from farmers into the hands of global companies (Monsanto, Dupont) which they control. No wonder Russia banned GMO completely. Money behind the scenes at a scale never imagined is at play. No force can stop these manical control freaks. Most of the criminal activities in the world are under the deep state control. Things like armies, politicians, coalitions, intelligence agencies (agents, double agents, double/double agents..) are all infiltrated at the highest levels, making you wonder/shaking your head at the statements made by these worthies in public. Things like Council of Foreign Relations (CFR), Chatham house (pappu frequents) are prime headquarters for the deep state.

To sum it up, Deep State controls, 70% wealth, 70% media, 70% edu, 70% world dictates implemented, 70% military, 70% world institutes, 70% criminal activities, 70% of earth's resources in the world.

It is the money they looted in colonial times from all over the world. That is the corpus they are playing with. It is the old European elite (royalty and legacy businessmen / traders) who are the movers and shakers of global deep state, based on colonial money they have hoarded

[bala]

How does India protect itself from the Deep State interference requires some thought and internal Indian action. The Deep State in version 1.0 via the Britshits did a number on India looting its wealth, killing 200 million Indians in famines, riots, wars, etc. BTW the global mass killings are mostly orchestrated by the Deep State, which is part of the chaos model of disruptions and benefitting from both sides by removing resources. The Deep State V1.0 funded the Britshits, French, Dutch, Spain, Portugal (all colonializers of the world) and the slave trade from Africa was enabled by them. In India the Deep State benefitted from whomever won skirmishes for territory whether it be Britshits, French, Portuguese or Dutch.

In China, the deep state operates and benefits immensely. However Emperor Eleven has put a spanner in the works and the belligerence of emperor has required a rethink. They look around and want another entity of similar proportion as China and they find India as suitable. It has the population, the heft to become an alternate to China. However the current strong center is a thorn in their plans. They want a pliable political dispensation so that they can have operational freedom to benefit and control things. All kinds of tricks (toolkits) are at play in India. Moreover, India has control of the global south which is a major irritant for the Deep State since they can't clean out the resources of Africa. The other thing that irks them to no end is India is friends with Russia and defies its direction to control things in the global order.

Despite all the issues, the Deep State is forced to work with India, since China is done for them. Though, there is a faction within deep state that wants to keep China. This has opened up two factions within the deep state, one opposed, one for India. But making money trumps everything. The deep state is forced into this model and has to live with it for the interim. Don't be fooled that they won't ditch this model after making their money. India needs to be highly aware of the model and prepare for any eventuality. The deep state will work like a worm eating away at things systematically, they are ruthless and maniacal in their resolve. They will use the media, technology, AI, political pressure, global institutes and much more. All kinds of tricks will be tried. India has to stand united and firmly thwart them in all aspects.

A strong center is imperative, internal control is very important. India has to forge its own narrative, co-opt other nations like the global south into your leadership. Russia is crucial in this tie-up. All India generated data which is in the privy of global companies like google, meta, etc must come under the ambit of GOI. All the initiatives like ESG, DEI etc must be booted out of India. India has to reform judiciary and the bureacracy and if possible re-fashion the constitution, boot out all the Britshit process/laws.

Does it strike any of us that India herself may have some members in the crown council ..... It would certainly be worth their while ......

one can think of two or three (±)dharmic industrialists, who, by word, deed or tacit support for the BIF, may fit the bill and with the Indian economy doing well, it is possible that some of these guys may have replaced some defunct incumbents

after all, regime change can't be their only plan, they would need a backup too, to keep the pot boiling and derail the growth agenda

Advocate & Author J Sai Deepak in Silicon Valley, CA, USA - Speaks on Indian Diaspora challenges

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26wr6YB6Iuc

He talks of separation of church and state - but in a totally christian context, that is state continues its job, but the Church retains its veto power. The term secular was introduced to allow the protestant movement to flourish from the Pope's total control. So all kinds of sects of christianity were allowed into the fold.

For India, its ethos of Sanathan Dharma which allows all kinds of paths for self discovery is a given. There is no conflict with the term secular. In effect, India has to say clearly, that none of the above concepts hold and allow any religion to flourish under Sanathan Dharma. Sanathan dharma has worked this way for centuries, the Jews took refuge, the parsis from Iran took refuge and there was no persecution of any form, none at all. So why bother with muddled Christian concepts, which are not applicable in the Bharat context.

Until 1863 the Britshits took over entire admin of both temples and mosques. Due to one vocal group, islam, they agreed to free mosques and hand them to the mullahs. However the temples were tightly controlled. The same control was handed over to Neverwho. All the hate on the catholic pope was transferred to the hapless Brahmin and the Britshits started a canard that they cannot be trusted and they could be corrupt - everything false. Demonization of the Brahmin is a standard tactic both in India and the West.

In the US, the castas system, created by the Britshit census system, is often raked up. The wokes and leftists have linked race and castas and the mixture is explosive to be a powder keg on the entire Indian diaspora. Some effort has been made to mitigate this new evil but this is a long fight.

The diaspora must wake up and understand the future. The India diaspora need unity, having local groups like telegu, tamil, malayalam, marathi, bengali, etc are okay but they need to coalese together for common causes. Being at odds with each other is sure sign of fractured system. It has to have its own institutes, its own narrative and a common front to fight its cultural heritage in a Videshi setup. If not you will be eaten alive by forces inimical towards you.

Also another one from J Sai Deepak at UC Berkeley

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9zG5jDjdh8

He talks about Kula Devata which is manned by certain families, since they regard the job as a duty to the Kula/family and Devata is personal and of high importance to the family. Things like birth based profession cannot be duplicated in terms of duty/passion to perform on daily basis - no one is monitoring them, they work of free volition since it is their own Kula Devata and service is part and parcel of their tradition. Note that family priest need not be brahmin.

Common law which India follows is Christianity based since the Britshits came up with these laws.

[bala]

I don't know whether this is the thread, since it talks about the Indian diaspora. At least in the US, the current Indian diaspora is at minimum in the third generation and their context is very different than what is happening in India. The incoming desi into the US runs into this generation, the first and second too which fashions the thinking of diaspora in its entirety. Besides the enormous success of Indians in the US, there is the other component which is lacking - political clout. There are 4 million such denizens in the US and they have little clout in shaping policies, asserting its identity/culture within the US. They are confused since they are part of US and part Indian and the confusion is often resolved into the US part. The other side does not accept them as part of the US despite high profile people manning large companies. This dichotomy has to be resolved by the diaspora. This is where identity/culture/civilization have to be reiterated and understood by the other side. We don't need an identity/culture/civilization values defined by the other side since it is going to be flawed and not true. There is the left liberal/commy/deep state of the US which does not want to understand the other side and they resort to vicious gutter tactics. Asserting your own and trying to shape the other side's understanding is a huge task and must be taken upon as job #1. This is the stepping stone towards political clout. If you cannot articulate who you are then the other side will digest you into their favorite framework and deal with you accordingly.

India posts defence attaches to several new nations for 1st time
From Times Of India

NEW DELHI: India has begun to post military and defence attaches to several new countries, in a big move to expand strategic ties with key regions across the globe and also push arms exports.
Govt sources on Wednesday said 15-16 new attaches from the Army, Navy and Air Force are now being posted to countries like Poland, Armenia, Tanzania, Mozambique, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast and the Philippines after "some rationalisation" by cutting down on the number of military officials posted at the large missions in Russia, the UK and France.
"Some of them have already joined their new posts. In the next phase, 10 entirely new defence wings will be created in different countries, with a particular focus on nations to which arms can be exported," a source said.

A special area of interest is Africa, which is in line with the stepped-up military outreach to the continent where China has made huge strategic inroads. Apart from the ongoing combat exercises, military exchanges and training programmes with African countries, India is now trying to export indigenous Tejas fighters, Pinaka multi-launch rocket systems, BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles and Akash air defence missile systems to African countries.

Among other African countries like Tanzania, Mozambique and Ivory Coast, the small but strategically located Djibouti will also get an Indian defence attache now.

The former Soviet republic of Armenia has also emerged as a major arms exports destination, with deals already inked for Pinaka rockets, Akash missiles, ammunition and the like, a few of them coming even during its clash with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. "A defence attache is especially being posted to Armenia for the first time," the source said.


With an eye on China's aggressive behaviour in the Indo-Pacific, including the South China Sea, India has also been steadily stepping up military ties with Asean countries. This led to the $375 million contract for three anti-ship coastal batteries of the BrahMos missiles being inked with the Philippines in Jan 2022.

India wants this first-ever BrahMos export order to pave the way for more such deals with the Philippines as well as other Asean countries like Indonesia and Vietnam.


India is also trying to export the single-engine Tejas fighter to countries like the Philippines, Nigeria, Argentina and Egypt. India's bid to sell it to Malaysia, however, had failed last year with the Royal Malaysian Air Force picking South Korean supersonic fighter KAI FA-50 made by Korean Aerospace Industries.

after the massacre of Oct 7th i had predicted that before IA buying Athos Israel might have to buy one of the kalyani guns if not the ammunition. we need the factories firing in all cylinder. our capacity expansion has come at the right time.

We should discuss the looming Iran-Israel conflict and its impact on India.

War is looking more and more probable. Matter of when and not if.
US is under huge debt. it needs more resources - Iranian Oil - looks grab-able.
US is not doing well in Ukr. It needs another crisis to distract the voters before November.
Most likely Trump would win. DeepSt would want the war machine in motion, before any changes in leadership.

Impact on India:
-ve:
Disturbed Gulf trade route - highly likely.
Oil prices spike - very likely.
Exodus of NRIs from Gulf - likely. atleast from some states like Kuwait/Iraq that would be on the frontlines.
Destruction of our Chabhar-Armenia investment and trade route - very likely.

+ve:
Flight of Gulf money to safer haven - India - very likely
Increased sale of ammunition back to Israel and other friendly countries - likely.
Busy shipyards - maintaining US ships - likely
