Keith Tkachuk is a Hall of Famer.
During his speech, he said this about the Coyotes:
“We had a mission to grow the game in the desert. Nobody was better at that than my teammate and now Hall of Famer Jeremy Roenick. He gave everything to his fans, the team, and the community. I was also lucky enough to play with Craig Janney, one of the most unselfish players I’ve ever known. He helped me score 50 goals twice. Teppo Numminen and Dallas Drake were longtime teammates and two of the most underrated players I’ve ever played with, who remain close friends.”
The Coordinated Camp of the Lie
Six people were murdered in Kraków on Saturday. The killer's own mother, father and sister were found dead at home. Poland is in mourning. 🕯️
That same evening – while the police were still saying the motive was unknown and his house was still being searched – the Minister of the Interior announced that the attacker was "fascinated by far-right ideologies." Ultranationalist, of course. He added that this would be verified.
No evidence has been shown. The mayor of Kraków, who is not a man of the right, called it the act of a madman. Reports from classmates, and photos attributed to him online, point somewhere else entirely.
But within hours, "far-right" was in headlines across Europe. The minister's own caveat – "this will be verified" – mostly stayed behind in Kraków. Four days before the Independence March, the story fit perfectly.
That is how the camp of the Lie works. It needs no central office. It needs a shared story, and people who know which facts to wait for and which to run with.
A civilized state follows a simple rule: evidence first, verdict last – or not at all. This government reversed it, before the six victims were even buried.
The coordinated camp of the Lie.
We are being governed by them.
And that needs to stop.
Oil has been flowing out of the Strait of Hormuz at pre-war levels from months. But prices never went down. The day after the election the Dow Jones gains 1500 points and oil drops by $10 a barrel. And it's being reported that by next week it will be under $4 a gallon. This was never about the war with iran. This was Big Oil, suits on Wall Street and other dark Forces keeping everything up until after the election. And they couldn't help themselves by celebrating yesterday. You all got played.
What I call “The Candy Bowl Problem” is the reason why Indians, who almost no one in the our country thought about 25 years ago, are increasingly hated.
During Halloween, kiddos go door-to-door saying "trick or treat" and receive candy. Sometimes, a person isn't home and so they leave a bowl of candy on their front porch.
When you come across the porch candy bowl, what do you do? We Americans mostly know the implicit morality to take ONE piece of candy. Some folks will come across the candy bowl and immediately dump the entire bowl into their bag!
Indians keep taking from the candy bowl. They're mistaking a vulnerability for an opportunity. It’s a low trust/scarcity mentality, no doubt.
But… the candy bowl isn't an opportunity. It's a morality test that Indians are currently failing.
All of the diploma mills, scammer job placement firms, and HR kickbacks, and people who max out their credit cards before leaving (never intending to pay it back), are perceived in India as capitalizing on an opportunity but to us, they're exploiting a vulnerability. You're taking the candy bowl and we HATE people who do that.
A lot of Indians are confused and angered by the criticism because they actually expect to be praised for being so clever. They think what they're doing is good and maybe even admirable. To us Americans though, it's immoral.
Vulnerabilities are NOT opportunities. Not in our nation. This is the most important lesson to learn before coming here, or to any high trust society. The new generation of Indians aren't interested in this in part because their entire education system is built for job skills and not life skills. The remnants of this are even visible in Americans of all low trust ancestral cultures.
Morality and ethics occupy less than 2% of the pre-college education in India. This is half of what it is in most of the world and 1/5 what it is in America. Nearly every high school in the country requires a course on civics (how to be a good citizen). In fact, in Gurgaon (India’s Silicon Valley, now white folk are inspiring civic sense and city clean up)!
The only reason India isn't the wealthiest nation on Earth is because its people spend too much time looking to dump the candy bowl into their bag and not enough time trying to build trust.
Anti-Indian sentiment isn't a racism problem. It's not skin color or even religion. It's because instead of learning about and respecting American morality, y’all just keep looking for candy bowls to take from!
@SamaHoole Liberal environmentalists dream invariably turns into a nightmare. I remember that they all professed to be the smartest in the room and their room collapsed in full public view.
