Getting stuck in the negatives (and how to get unstuck) | Alison Ledgerwood | TEDxUCDavis


interesting talk ... just understand the impact of bad news on people's mind. It is stuck. No wonder Pappu and his CON media like Hindu try all lies on Modi (Rafale, Jobs etc). Once people get the bad news, it is hard to get it out of their system

Prem Kumar wrote: This is a good explanation for why consistent bad-mouthing of an incumbent government yields political dividends! Happened in TamilNadu. Negative news tends to stick longer, deeper & propagate faster, even if its false. No amount of "positive news" can offset it. The propagandists know that this works.

Its also why Modi sarkar, in addition to spreading positivity, should remind the misdeeds of the opposition & the grotesque conditions our country was under, while C-system, DMK et al were ruling. Moral high-horses don't work. What's good at a personal level isn't good as public policy.

It is just showing weakness which invites more trouble. They think geography which has protected soo far will help them. East Asia, Europe benefited from The fact that Islamic anger has mostly been targeted at India mainly due our weakness and acceptance which is still widely on display. It will move to the place which shows weakness and acceptance.

Kerala , Bengal prepartition Punjab, Delhi and much of India are good examples the more it is accepted, the more it acts as an incubator to finally consume the entire land.

Someone asked a brilliant question.

Why is it that funeral pyres from India were big news but 10 million vaccine doses in one day was not

is is because we have tolerated without pushback, a whole corrosive ecosystem of "reporters" like bhikari butt, turdesai, rubbish kumar and a host of anti India "free speech" muzl1m mafia "reporters" like rana ayub and her goonda gang of presstitute sistas.

These seemingly one off contradictions tell a big story about how the BIF global media sees India or wants to portray India.

If it's a good news it will be muted, if there is a bad news it will be exaggerated and played in loop.

At the core of it all is white supremacy and jealousy which these sold out traitors feed eagerly because they see a lucrative pulitzer at the end of the anti India rainbow

There are 1.38 billion Indians but CNN selects only someone with mentality of Rana Ayub who wished in a tweet that the whole country should perish to represent India related news. Shows the mentality of CNN

AUGUST 30, 2021

Pakistan’s National Security Adviser (NSA) Moeed Yusuf has asked the British newspaper The Sunday Times to clarify and retract an interview he gave to journalist Christina Lamb in which he allegedly warned the West that if it does not “immediately recognise" the Taliban, it will face a second 9/11. Lamb has refuted Yusuf’s claim of “mischaracterisation," claiming that the interview was taped.

According to a statement issued by Yusuf’s office on Sunday, the 28 August interview, titled “Work with the Taliban or Repeat the Horror of the 1990s, West Told," is a “gross mischaracterization" of the interaction between Yusuf and Lamb, the Print said in a report.

The Pakistan High Commission in the UK has issued the publication a formal demand for the story to be retracted and corrected, according to the statement.

Lamb is The Sunday Times’ chief international correspondent and an award-winning journalist.

In the Times interview, Yusuf is quoted as saying: “Mark my words…If the mistakes of the Nineties are made again and Afghanistan abandoned, the outcome will be absolutely the same — a security vacuum filled by undesirable elements who will threaten everyone, Pakistan and the West.”

In his comment, Yusuf voiced his dissatisfaction with the article’s sub-title, which reads, “Risk a second 9/11 if you don’t recognise Afghanistan’s new leaders, Pakistan’s national security adviser warns." The statement continues, “This connotation was created and completely incorrectly attributed to the National Security Adviser.”

Meanwhile, even though Yusuf denied making the controversial remark, the Pakistan National Security Agency appeared to make a similar statement in an interview with British station Sky News Sunday.

The Sky News interview, titled “ “The West could face another 9/11 and mass refugee crisis if it abandons country, says Pakistan security adviser”, quoted him as saying: “Migrants will flow, terrorism will flow and none of us want that so let’s not make that mistake again”.

“The dangers of abandonment, which came about in the 1990s, there was a breakdown of law and order, there was a breakdown of security, there were international terrorists who took root, there was an economic crisis, there was a governance problem and at the end of the day there was 9/11," he added.

Wonder what snake oil is being sold as 'mentorship program'. Kajri bai wants to implement this across the country.

The course, titled ‘Counter Terrorism, Asymmetric Conflicts and Strategies for Cooperation among Major Powers’, was cleared by the Academic Council, which is the highest decision making body of the varsity, during a meeting on 17 August. The council's clearance for the course will have to be endorsed by the Executive Council.

The new course will be offered to students pursuing an MS with specialisation in International Relations after a BTech in Engineering, reports Indian Express.

According to the report, one of the new course’s modules, titled ‘Fundamentalist-religious Terrorism and its Impact’, states: “Fundamentalist – religious inspired terrorism has played a very critical and dominant role in the spawning of terrorist violence in the beginning of the 21st century. The perverse interpretation of the Koran has resulted in the rapid proliferation of a jihadi cultist violence that glorifies death by terror in suicidal and homicidal variants.”

It further adds that the exploitation of the cyberspace by the "radical Islamic religious clerics has resulted in the electronic propagation of jihadi terrorism world over. Online electronic dissemination of Jihadi terrorism has resulted in the spurt of violence in non-Islamic societies that are secular and are now increasingly vulnerable to the violence that (is) on the increase.”

Another module of the new course, titled ‘State-sponsored Terrorism: It’s Influence and Impact’, refers to the state-sponsored terrorism by communist regimes such as erstwhile Soviet Union and China.

Modi has to permit.

To permit, he had to provide data, background and let them glimpse his thought process and that of his team, for "in depth" human interest reportage.

When Modi trusting Indians don't know Modi's mind why should the inimical goras have access to it and to what end

Why does Modi himself have to do any such thing?

Other govts-- even the Chinese-- have entire departments dedicated completely to designing and distributing the specific messages, information, spin, and other narrative-building machinery necessary to stay ahead of the discourse. In an age of internet, smartphones, and 24X7 cable news this is more vital than at any time previously. At both a national and an international level.

...snip
The kind of people appointed give a clear idea how important Modi/GOI think the job is. What would it cost them to make someone remotely media-savvy, like Smriti Irani or Meenakshi Lekhi, the I&B Minister and let that person take care of things?

and yes, they all want only Modi to do the interviews, be accessible to them 24X7 on their speed dial because that is what "they say is democracy"

white journo privilege talking down to lower caste brown skin PM

They can want whatever they want.

There is a huge, yawning gulf between:

A) Giving foreign journos and BIF RNI journos whatever they want

and

B ) Ceding 100% of the entire information-warfare space to the BIFs by doing next to nothing.

This is the swamp that Modi has kept at bay and, BTW, the India narrative has always been controlled by the BIF for over 70 odd years now, no matter who the PM was

It has always been controlled by the BIF... therefore we should quietly accept that it will be forever controlled by the BIF, because the present GOI would rather rely on aam junta supporters on Twitter/Whatsapp/Facebook to do what is needed. If after 7 years as PM Modi is just "keeping the swamp at bay" rather than draining it and replacing it with usable real-estate, that smacks of complacency.

Today the GOI has become complacent because the opposition is useless. Rahul Gandhi, Kejriwal, Laloo, etc reek so obviously of feces that not all the Chanel No. 5 applied by RNI and foreign media can mask the stench. So GOI feels like it will never have to worry, no matter what the BIF media says.

Mark my words-- this WILL not be the case forever. At some point there will be a serious political challenge to Modi/BJP. And the entire media machinery whose narrative currently markets the Rahul Gandhis of the world will converge upon that political challenge with guns out and blazing. The usual ragtag army of aam junta Social Media warriors will have NO chance of fighting back at that point, with the Social Media platforms themselves getting taken over by overtly hostile ideological actors.

That is when a large and muscular professional institution dedicated to specialist information-management, funded and developed by resources only available to the GOI, will be a matter of life and death for BJP and indeed our entire civilization. So far, not even the basic foundation for any such thing has been established. And it will take years, if not decades, to build one.

I am not someone who criticizes Modi lightly on this that & the other. In fact, I often come out to defend him from the "Modi is doing nothing for Hindoooooos" type of pointless caterwauling. But I see this total lack of information management as a critical vulnerability.

The very fact that ordinary citizens like me have to come out and do the information-warfare pushback, be it on Demonetization, GST, Article 370, Balakot, CAA, or the Pandemic Response is living, physical proof of this vulnerability.

“Any intermeddler cannot come before your lordships. Your lordships, court is not a public platform. This is not a Jantar Mantar or Ramlila Maidan where anybody gets up and starts saying whatever he feels like. These are all appointments made by statutory authorities, appointments of responsible officers, you may like, you may not like,” continued Mehta.

He also alleged that a very systemic pattern was emerging: “Some selected few web portals would first publish a news item based on which every appointment must pass through the muster of Mr (Prashant) Bhushan first. Otherwise, he comes before the court and makes all kinds of allegations. We will say that on an affidavit if need be.”

For the first time I have seen GoI being so blunt against Prashant Bhushans antics that too on record:

While all parties including BJP have benefited from internal powerstruggles in opposition , the governance , strategic thought and development takes a backseat when politicians bicker among themselves for ministership berths and a bigger cut in loot. I don't know what is good for democracy, to have a two party system like in the US or UK or have a multi-party system like some democracies in Europe like Denmark. If India moves towards a 2 party system then while it may bring in much needed stability to governments both at the state and at the central level, but on the other hand it will inevitably make it so much harder for a nationalist party to win any election given the prevalence of leftist parties. Guess we stuck between a rock and a hard place.
