Bharat Rakshak

Q&A with DJT. He calls for resignation of Maddow and Wallace at MSDNC ; apparently US Dept of Education will be shut down and education will become a state subject. Elon Musk has been authorized to get the stranded astronauts in the space station using Starship rocket. DJT will visit Saudi A and they have agreed to 1T investment in US over 4 yrs. He may meet with Putin at Saudi A. DJT wants NATO and Japan to cough up some money since the US is pledged to defend them.

// Just an aside: US is into T size investments whereas India is scraping by with 10 B here and there. The quantum of investment money pouring into India is miniscule compared with the US. This is what the big boys do and that is why they are the superpowers in the world.

Indian agriculture sector must open up, says US Commerce Secretary Lutnick

Think tank Global Trade and Research Institute (GTRI), responding to Lutnick’s comments, said that while these proposals were framed as mutually beneficial, most serve US interests at the cost of India’s economic and strategic priorities.

so, effectively, and just to start with, what "my guy" (your words) really wants from India, is an arm and a leg, and our first born son, while literally firebombing millions upon millions of our honest hardworking farmers and farm workers, toiling relentlessly on small land holdings, while barely eking out a living.

Lutnick is slyly making way for the likes of monsanto, Dow and american vanguard to set up shop in India to enmesh us even further

Monsanto is already in India and has been for a few years. Your points are of course quite valid. It is only a matter of time before Indian services are subject to tariffs with a demand to open up sgri sector.

That is where the squealing will start as the IT crowd will get hit hard. No GoI can really act against the farm sector though.

The silver lining is that this craziness is only going to last 4 years hopefully…

GMO stuff should be technically banned in India. Russia has banned GMO seeds. These seeds are not exactly useful in the long run. Moreover there is no seed propogation, you have to go back to Monsanto for the next batch of sowing. Long term health benefits are not quantified due to GMO seeds. Most of the fruits and vegetables in the US are tasteless junk, bland and devoid of any semblance of the original product. I hope in India, some sense prevails and the original seed bank of India is not disrupted with companies like Monsanto. Population numbers are dropping worldwide, so having just yield numbers as a metric is useless going forward. We have to preserve what nature has provided (which has been QAed over 1000s of years of usage) in the original seeds.

Indian market is too price sensitive to cater to American brands. Even if India lowers the tariff on things like cars, who will buy them. Ford exited India after trying for decade. Harley Davidson met the same fate. Software exports for many American companies not sure how that will me measured?

Overall response from me..

First of all, "Jay" let us avoid labeling experienced Indian posters such as "chetak" as aligned with some US partisan ideology. The malevolent effect of BUTTs and MAGAmorons on the forum already been seen, which - in the absence of bans - has taken a significant effort to counteract/expose/discredit.

I disagree with poster "chetak" views on US administrations impacts on Bharat - he "prefers" the current fellow and gives him more credit, whereas to me they are essentially "all the same" based on history and current events. "Mutually beneficial India-US activities" have indeed increased in the last decade, but the attempt to undermine India's foundations shows no signs of discontinuation. The US sarkar is not just the president, it is also the legislature, judiciary, bureaucracy, and various quasi-independent agencies that receive quiet "winks and nods" from all administrations.

That being said, Indians generally believe Bharat sarkar led by Modi will defend our interests excellently.

As for the tariff discussion - Piyush Goyal and delegation have just returned from a trading policy visit to USA. There are too many interesting angles right now, we have to wait and see. Just summarizing each angle below.

- Trump "reciprocal tariffs"...it is not clear if that will be determined by sector/item, or some kind of overall blanket number. The WTO has multiple metrics, not clear what will be used.

- We have to watch other trade agreements such as India-EU, maybe India-UK, and others. E.g. both US and EU have targeted Indian agriculture in trade negotiations. If the EU drops this issue in the FTA talks, then there is no reason to accommodate USA. Vice versa, if India "accommodates" USA, then we will have to accommodate EU as well. I believe India will not entertain US and EU access to agriculture.

- We have to watch what happens with the ongoing drama of tariffs against nations that are impacted by US tariffs, e.g. Kanadda and Mexico, also China. After many months of drama and "fentanyl" tantrums against Kanadda and Mexico, there is continued flip-flop...one day there are tariffs, next week they are paused. Meanwhile neither the Kanaddians and Mexicans, nor China, are standing down - instead retaliating strongly as of now. Impact on US people and businesses is just starting to be seen, its not clear yet. So basically, the point here is whether this drama will actually "work" (whatever that means) - and if it doesn't, other tariffs threats may not be taken as seriously and countries will retaliate strongly.

Tanaji saar,


In India, monsanto is very much constrained

elsewhere, they often dictate policies to governments of the countries where they operate, just like amazon does

U.S. grips global chokepoints, from Panama to Suez-adjacent Egypt.

BlackRock buys Panama Canal along with 43 others ports in Pakistan, Mexico, UK, UAE, etc. This will hits China’s Belt and Road initiative hard and will definitely trouble Russia’s Latin America leverage.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-pla ... 025-03-06/

The rate at which articles are appearing and the policy decisions or thoughts being appropriated to this admin makes one almost think this is all made up….

I think the whole tariff business is like the arrests by enforcement directorate in India … lot of bombast but very little actual conviction but gets maybe 50% of desired result…

Just FYI, BlackRock purchased the two ports adjacent to the canal on the Pacific and Caribbean entrances - not the Panama Canal itself which is sovereign territory of Panama.

Yes, it is another good step in folding up China's OBOR/BRI in Latin America. Panama already scrapped its BRI agreement with China a month ago under US pressure. Like I said before, nobody wants to see Xi's ObOr or C-Pec

The port was managed by Li Ka-Shing's company HPH. From the magnitude of the sale, it looks like HPH has sold off most of its port holdings except the ones in China and Hong Kong. HPH has been a significant cog of the CCP BRI system. It doesn't seem that HPH has made this decision consistent with the interests of the CCP, let us see what happens to them.

This may not be a bad idea in itself, but it is of little significance - routine decisions are being highlighted by both the "left" and "right" to create hysteria/showmanship as the case may be.

How about closing some actually wasteful and expensive military bases like Diego Garcia?

DOGE employees can access data from treasury. Previously, a Federal judge blocked Elon Musk's DOGE from accessing sensitive data, however Judge Collen Kollar-Kotelly has approved access over-ruling the previous judge. Previously, a new york court barred DOGE from treasury systems based on 10 dumbocratic Attorney Generals. The bottomless pit that the Social Security Administration (SSA) has become, swallowing almost $1.7 trillion dollars will now be scrutinized by the DOGE. This is a BIG WIN for DOGE, Musk and Trump.

In PGurus YT:
youtube.com/watch?v=5waNKD7kQqg

DJT has said that DOGE ferrets out facts but the actual action is taken by individual depts where the facts presented by DOGE will be used.

Only a limited number of employees will get access to treasury data.

Lots of fraud has been unearthed by DOGE, the sheer waste and unaccounted money going to unknown pitholes (mostly the deep state actors and some dumbocrats). Hopefully DJT in this exercise by DOGE trims the US budget and plugs the US budget deficit big time.

Another news is that the Dept of Education will be shut down soon.

It has been confirmed with @BAPS_PubAffairs that surveillance video of the latest Hindu temple desecration has been shared with law enforcement.

It is interesting that many Indians like Ro Khanna (California - Democrat) and NirajAntani (Ohio, Republican) and publicly have spoken out against this. Here is one statement from CA Assembly Member:
.

Hope the culprits get caught and meet with justice.

So the following tid bit news happened in the US.

In PGURUS YT, a US District Court in Missouri ruled.

US Judge holds China responsible for COVID-19 cover-up

I usually don't often post in this thread due to the frequent trolling, personal attacks, and lack of respect shown toward anyone with a differing perspective. Unfortunately, a small group of posters tends to dominate the discussion, making it difficult for diverse viewpoints to be heard. While I have reported some off-topic messages, the trend persists.

That said, I’d like to contribute to the conversation for those, like 'Jay' or 'KL Dubey,' who approach discussions with an open mind and a willingness to engage constructively.

On that note, sharing a concerning development, originally reported by X from HAF:

@HarvardIR withdrew an article written by an Indian @Harvard student after facing pressure from pro-Khalistan activists. These activists claimed that the piece portrayed their movement—linked to terrorism and hate crimes—in a negative light. According to @harvardcrimeson, @HarvardIR removed the article following a wave of online attacks and pressure from the Harvard Sikh chaplain, who defended Khalistan activism and asserted (without evidence) that the movement has broad support.

I deeply admire the courage of the @Harvard student, who stood firm despite pressure from @HarvardIR editors to alter her piece, even at personal risk as a young foreign student. We, here, ought to strongly condemn this act of censorship and believe that the article deserves to be read rather than silenced.

Ex-PM Naftali Bennett who joked about handing out pagers at Harvard Business School, referencing an Israeli op that destroyed Hezbollah’s communication devices. (via @thecrimson)

Later, in Feb, Netanyahu gifted Trump a golden pager—a nod to the same op. (via @CNN)

While Netanyahu didn’t mention sending pagers to Harvard, Bennett’s joke & Bibi’s gift are linked by the broader context.

We know about DOGE and how it is finding fraud and waste by the 10s of billions. Elon explains to Kudlow of Fox Business that the Dumbocrats don't want this turned off. X ie twitter faced Denial of service attack from Ukraine, many Tesla charging facilities are being burnt in all the dumbocratic states like Oregon, Mass, Washington etc, now there are additional threats to Tesla dealerships, market is hammering Tesla stock driven by deep state operatives. Tis all out war by the Dumbs in the US. Meanwhile Kash Patel at the FBI has gotten hold of Epstein files and many noted celebs are fleeing the US in private jets. Every dept in the US is bloated and wasting tax payer's money in the billions. DJT has cancelled $400 million to Columbia Univ and more such funding cuts are happening to other univs due to pro palestinian activism on campus.

youtube.com/watch?v=T6DiMIJIvYw

BTW 83% of USAID is gone (poof). The remaining are being examined closely and with the US State Dept. Rubio and Elon seem to have some differences, but DJT is final arbiter on such matters. Elon believes he will find at least 1T in fraud and abuse with the US budget. That is huge and if DJT can close the gap between expense and income via tax then the huge 36 T deficit can be tackled. Currently the interest payment on 36T is almost the defence budget. FEMA money was channeled to a hotel in NYC which is owned by Pukis to house illegals.

The US Justice system is playing interference and protecting this shady practice of looting the US treasury for nefarious schemes and pocketing the loot by the Deep state players. Dumbocrat Hillary Clinton pocketed 100s of millions of USAid and billyboyClinton looted the Hondurus charity proceedings lock stock and barrel.

youtube.com/watch?v=VP8E-aEBIm8

Gold is currently wildly swinging in value. There were reports that England is moving gold to the US. This practice goes back to the BritshitRaj era in which Britain invested its loot from India into the US, i.e. the then deep state effectively moved into the US. Venezuela's gold has been frozen so has the Russia asets in UK. The lootmaster of the world ie Britain is spearheading the 2nd round of global looting in the world.

Harvard seems almost incorrigible, no matter what legal/disciplinary threats are made against it. Currently Columbia is threatened by US sarkar with loss of federal funding (I think well north of $1 bn/yr) due to the lack of action on campus anti-semitism....let us see if this brings them to sense. I do know they are ready to litigate with plenty of money and lawyers.

Fundamentally, university loyalty runs deep in USA. The ranks of the US elites are thoroughly populated by Ivy League graduates. In the present time, that includes the likes of Vance, Trump, Chatur, Musk, and many others. Bhaidanwa and Harris did not have an Ivy League background.

Scientists, who rely heavily on grants to fund their research, are concerned about losing vital funding.
Scholar-activists in the humanities, with less reliance on grant money, are supporting the protests ..

This is a good Q&A with DJT & Elon and the press. BTW Tesla cars are being advertized. DJT says he will buy tesla cars (so he believes in electric cars too). DJT is not concerned about the market sell off. He also mentions ongoing talks with Russia to get the Ukraine crisis resolved. DJT wants to cut the appropriate flab in the system, with no set goals. Apple's TIm Cook wants to invest $ 500 B in the US. Several other companies are making a beeline to invest in US and DJT says Ts are pouring in, phew (I wish the same can be said about India).

X posting from India US relations thread

After rankling Mexico, Canada, Denmark, EU, UK, China... Trump is now impatient to show some success of his trade tariffs policy and what better target than India which is trying to walk on the thin wire.

Our ministers and babus are in the US trying to negotiate an FTA. God knows how that will turn out.

We seem to be throwing some bones to Musk by allowing Tesla and Starlink to set up shop though under what model is not yet known. The risk is that concessions to Musk may set precedent and open the flood gates.

While I'm sure Modi Ji won't be taken for a ride so easily the situation is not easy to navigate. Trump has to only threaten tariffs on IT & BPO services and the already tanking indian stock markets due to FIIs sell offs will get devastated in the short term at least.

Not sure whether this is the thread, but Americans Mario Nawfal, Larry S. Johnson, and Judge Andrew Napolitano interview Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow.

The discussion covers important aspects of the changing perception of the United States under President Trump and how this affects relations with Russia and President Putin. Lavrov shares his views on what is happening in the United States, marking a return to normalcy after a period of significant political divisions. He analyzes the profound changes in US culture and politics over the past decades, focusing on how these changes have affected public opinion about Russia. The Minister also touches on Christian values ​​and their impact on bipartisan politics. Sergey Lavrov emphasizes the importance of understanding these changes in shaping future relations between the countries. During the interview, he addresses not only America’s domestic issues, but also the global challenges facing the international community today. This discussion provides a unique opportunity to look behind the scenes of the current geopolitical situation and understand the complex dynamics between two great powers, Russia and the United States.
