THE FRENCH MAYOR SPEAKS: The video that completely dismantles the Eiffel Tower media narrative.

For seven days, television networks (Quotidien, @CBSNews ) and political commentators (@thewire_in, ) claimed that visiting Hindu monks "demanded women be hidden from public buildings" and "alienated France."

Now, watch the actual French Mayor of Bussy-Saint-Georges, Yann Dubosc, address visiting French mayors, municipal officials, and interfaith leaders on camera inside the new Mandir:

1. THE SMOKING GUN: FEMALE STAFF IN CITY HALL WERE NEVER MOVED
Mayor Dubosc recounts on the record:
"In 2023, we received a delegation of BAPS monks for a meeting in City Hall. When this delegation arrived, we were NEVER asked to move anyone at all, including female staff. My secretaries were never asked to disappear when the monks entered our office. Not only did such a scene never take place, but I would never have accepted it anyway."

2. CALLING OUT THE "48-HOUR EXPERTS"
Mayor Dubosc denounces the media frenzy ("emballement médiatique"):
"I want to respond to all those who, within just a few days, suddenly became 'BAPS experts' trading in simplistic punchlines, whereas throughout years of complete transparency, no one ever raised the slightest concern."

3. TEN YEARS OF "VIVRE ENSEMBLE"
For a decade, BAPS worked transparently alongside municipal authorities on the Esplanade des Religions et des Cultures, sharing space with a synagogue, pagodas, a church, and a mosque. BAPS even held the rotating presidency of the interfaith council in 2023.

4. THE STANDING OVATION
While keyboard activists claimed BAPS "damaged India’s image in France," Mayor Dubosc praised the dignity and self-control of BAPS volunteers ("maîtres d'eux-mêmes") and invited every French mayor in the room to rise for a standing ovation.

As Mayor Dubosc wrote in his official statement:
"Arrêtez de regarder le doigt, regardez la lune!" (Stop looking at the finger, look at the moon!)

Being a decent human being isn't sufficient, but damn it'll be nice to have a decent human being in the White House again on 1/20/21.

I know there’s a lot of focus on the election, but we cannot forget the virus. Yesterday we had more than 121,000 new Covid-19 cases – a record high. This is a stark reminder that though we have been at this for eight months, the pandemic is not over. Be kind and wear a mask.

No, Trump has not already won the election, and it is deeply irresponsible for him to say he has.

This is the equivalent of spitting on the graves of the 207,000 Americans who passed away from COVID, whose families had to say goodbye to them over speakerphone & weren't even able to have comfort during their time of grief.

If you have a dream, chase it. Chase it not for success, but because "win" or "lose," it will at least be exciting and invigorating to try.

Look at your problems as problems & they'll continue to hold you down. See them as blessings in disguise & that's what they truly become.
