I'll start the discussion with a quote from the article from the New York Times. “And it was all a lie. Black Elevation was actually part of an orchestrated political influence campaign, aimed at sowing divisions among Americans ahead of the midterm elections in November, according to Facebook.” (Huge sigh.) What is the crap? All of a sudden, are people all determined to repeat the Boston Tea Party event? Yeah! It's a real protest. But we'll be dressed up like Native American Indians when we do it so nobody will know!! If you truly believe in something why do you have to pretend? Why wear a mask? Why create a FAKE Facebook page? Why can't you show yourself? THIS IS AMERICA!! Is FAKE the “new REAL” now? (Historical REF: history.com/topics/american-revolution/boston-tea-party)

That's ridiculous, if you want to protest at least be honest about it.

Unless it comes knocking at my door I will leave everything alone. Today is our Independence Day and our PM spoke for 80 minutes and most of what he said were lies.

Oh that's right! It is Independence Day in India. Regardless of what was said "Happy Independence Day!" Celebrate the "ideal" even if in real life it's not perfect. God sure knows things ain't perfect in America.
