Soon we will discover that there was something much worse that Holocaust running under everyone's nose.
But we chose to ignore it.

The American Money Funding China's Surveillance State
Millions of dollars from US university endowments, foundations, and retirement plans have helped fund two billion-dollar Chinese facial recognition startups: SenseTime and Megvii. The Chinese government is using their technologies to surveil and profile its…

Today we are adding native support for comments in channels. So once you update Telegram, you’ll be able to leave comments in some channels, including this one.
Throughout the next 10 days I’ll be posting stuff here to try this feature out.
What I like about our implementation of comments is that they are indistinguishable from a group chat. In fact, all comments in a channel are hosted in a group attached to that channel.
This allows for many possibilities both for commenters (e.g. adding voice messages, stickers, GIFs etc. to comments) and for admins (e.g. limiting voice messages, stickers, GIFs etc. in comments).

Proper examination should ruin the life that you’re currently living. It should cause you to leave relationships. It should cause you to reestablish boundaries with family members and with colleagues. It should cause you to quit your job… If it doesn’t do that, it’s not real examination. If it doesn’t come attached with destruction of your current life, then you can’t create the new life in which you will not have the anxiety.”

A young Muslim killed school teacher by beheading for showing cartoons of Prophet Muhammed.
I'm going to make a case that killing someone over caricature isn't just inhumane, it's actually dumb from the point of view of a muslim who's concerned with people showing caricature of a Prophet.
The death of school teacher has been covered by all the major media outlets in all of the countries. If you paid for advertising of these cartoons in all this media it would have cost you hundreds of millions dollars.
If you open Google trends for word "caricature" you will see a spike of search all over the world for the caricature of Prophet Muhammed.
So this guy has actually promoted caricature of Prophet he claims he loves, because now all the people in the world who may never heard about these caricatures are googling them.

Hundreds of thousands of Muslim people in China are being sent to concentration camps for their faith.
The rule is simple - If you practice Islam you need to "re-educated" in the Xinjiang concentration camps.
So basically Chinese government forces people to stop practicing Islam.
And now question time!!!
How many Muslim countries have condemned China for this?

Little bit about free speech. Apparently your free speech right ends when jewish feelings begin.
You can get jail sentence for denying holocaust. And yet the same people complain that hurting muslim peoples feelings is in accordance with idea of free speech.
I see this as a hypocrisy.
The Genie was released from the bottle with law on Holocaust.
I want to be clear I condemn attacks that happened in france, but I also condemn the jailing of Austrian citizen for his speech.

Apparently Trump is on the way to win elections again and democrats are freaking out.
We are seeing lot's of melt downs.
People I thought to be very smart are acting like spoiled kids who are angry they didnt get the toy they wanted so bad.
I love watching this from outside, because I don't care who's going to win.
However I have to admit that republicans look in control of their emotions and I respect that.

Well I was wrong. Bidden became a president of US. If American establishment hates Trump so much, maybe he shouldn't be a president after all. When Trump became a president I wrote that if he doesnt start any wars I'd be happy with him and he didnt.
I think Trump got lots of an unjustified criticism and generally was treated like shit by all of the media.
I wish the same thing from the next president of US Bidden, I hope he does not to start any wars.
I want to congratulate Hollywood, entertainment media, old news establishment and woke silicon valley - you guys can finally stop freaking out and get your wallets ready!
