মূর্খ ম্যানেজিং কমিটির হাতে নিয়োগের সিদ্ধান্ত চাকরিপ্রার্থীদের জিম্মি করে ঘুষ নেয়ার পথ খুলে দেবে, যা তরুণ প্রজন্মের স্বার্থবিরোধী।

টেম্পুস্ট্যান্ড থেকে বিদ্যুৎ সব জায়গায় খাওয়ার বন্দোবস্ত শেষ করেছেন। এখন আমাদের ভবিষ্যৎ খেতে চান? অনতিবিলম্বে সরকারকে এনটিআরসি-এর নিয়োগ প্রক্রিয়ায় শিক্ষার্থীবিরোধী কার্যক্রম বন্ধ করতে হবে। অন্যথায়, আমরা ছাত্রদের নিয়ে আন্দোলন গড়ে তুলব।

Bangladesh head coach Phil Simmons lamented his batting unit failing miserably in the second innings of the three-day practice match against Cricket Australia XI insisting that the way the visitors surrendered in Darwin ‘wasn’t nice’. Bangladesh’s top order struggled against rookie left-arm pacer Campbell Thompson, who claimed 8-25 as the visitors were bowled out for just 54 in the second innings on Saturday, losing the three-day practice match by an innings and 38 runs. Bangladesh made 263 in their first innings before CA XI replied with 355. The visitors’ second innings lasted only 22 overs, with opener Tanzid Hasan’s 22 emerging as the highest score.

This is what happens when you follow the right signals 🏆

Was debating someone on Americas original vision & how it was closer to nazi Germany than it is to our modern view. Here's a good argument against these ppl pushing mass immigration from other countries(I'll delete this later so the channel isn't spammy).

"You’re not upholding the founders’ original intent, though. You’re applying a modern moral framework to their words & then treating that reinterpretation as if it were their actual vision(& you don't support their original vision. You support some new version). When Jefferson wrote “all men are created equal,” he was speaking within the political context of the Enlightenment — arguments against monarchy, hereditary rule, & aristocracy — not advocating for modern racial egalitarianism. The founders did NOT articulate a vision of America as a global melting pot. That idea emerged much later(from a zionist jew friends with the creator of zionism). So what you’re supporting is not the founders’ vision, but a contemporary reinterpretation of it. Our founders were very clear that America was to be a melting pot of Europeans. You don't support that. You’re assuming that classical liberal principles automatically produce modern egalitarian outcomes. But the founders didn’t interpret those principles that way. They applied them within the social, cultural, & racial views of their time. You’re taking the abstract principles & are replacing the original context with your own modern moral framework — & then claiming that’s what the founders “really meant.”. Because if they didn't mean that(& they cleary didn't), that means you don't actually support their vision. Or the vision of the majority of the country for 80% of its history. Which was a vision that America was a country of Europeans— made by and for Europeans. Which is also the view all foreigners had of America up until more recently. So everyone in the world knew this until we had a CIA cultural revolution & coup(until boomers). The founders views on the racial makeup of America lasted until the hart-cellar act in the 60s. Almost all of our history. & that act was intentionally done to subvert the White race & to subvert the founders original intent. Which they made clear in writings or by literally passing a law saying only White men can become citizens. So up until the 60's— America was closer to an ethno-state than to what your new vision for it is.

So, did our founders intend for America to be filled with a bunch of immigrants from Bangladesh and Thailand? No, & this was very clearly not their vision. So by supporting this, you don't actually support their vision.

Is it true that up until the 60's the vast majority of Americans viewed America as a White nation for White ppl? Yes, & you don't support this. You support the opposite. So you not only don't support our founders vision, you don't support the vision that almost every American had up until the cultural revolution of the 60s.

So you're now reinterpretating what they meant, misrepresenting them, & are using that to push a vision for America they would have hated. Especially Thomas Jefferson.

This view that America was always meant to be for everyone has led us straight into tribal hell, isn't working, & young White ppl HATE it.

Also, when you use God as a way to push your race agenda, you're leaving out the fact that God created the different races and ethnicities. And also that it's the satanists(J's) that are pushing race mixing and multi racial nation states. Which means you could actually make the argument that those of you supporting this policy are actually implementing the will of satan, because that's who these ppl work for."

Рубрика «Исследования, которых не должно было бы быть». На огромной когорте из двух с половиной миллионов детей было показано [1], что вакцинация от кори, паротита и краснухи, то есть вакциной MMR, не коррелирует с вероятностью развития аутизма.

Исследователи из США анализировали базу электронных медицинских карт Epic Cosmos за 2015-2024 годы и следили за прогнозами детей, получивших или не получивших первую дозу MMR в возрасте от 11,5 до 24 месяцев. Всего аутизм до восьми лет был зарегистрирован у 150 тысяч детей, то есть у 2,55% от всей выборки. И никакой связи с тем, получили ли эти дети вакцину, не получили, получили вовремя или получили позже, обнаружено не было.

В последние дни об этой статье рассказывают примерно везде – при том, что ее результаты всего лишь подтверждают результаты множества других сходных исследований, в которых точно так же не было найдено никакой связи между вакцинацией от кори и аутизмом. Вот, например, исследование 500 тысяч детей из Дании [2], 96 тысяч детей из США [3], причем в этой когорте у старшего сиблинга уже был аутизм, и все равно вакцинация никак не повышала риски младшего. Еще одна датская когорта [4], на этот раз 660 тысяч детей. И так далее, и так далее, и так далее.

Но несмотря на все эти более чем убеждающие данные, всё больше людей не вакцинируют своих детей от кори и других инфекций – или как минимум откладывают вакцинацию «на всякий случай». К 2024 году доля детей, не получивших к двум годам вакцину MMR, выросла до 7,7%. Итог – крупнейшая вспышка кори в США. На начало августа зарегистрирован 2371 случай, и 93% заболевших детей не привиты.

Это максимальное число заболевших с 1991 года, и все больше специалистов опасаются, что корь вновь стала эндемичной для США. До этого, с середины XX века, после масштабной вакцинной кампании, все случаи и вспышки были связаны с завозными инфекциями. Теперь же корь снова обрела уютный и комфортный дом на североамериканском континенте.

Продолжается вспышка кори в Бангладеш. Напомню, она началась в марте, и на сегодня в стране зарегистрировано больше 130 тысяч случаев заболевания и 854 смерти детей от кори. После экстренно развернутой массовой вакцинации темпы развития несколько замедлились, однако вспышка остается активной – ежедневно регистрируются сотни новых случаев, продолжаются госпитализации и смерти.

Учитывая все это, стоит ожидать еще исследований о проверке связи вакцинации и аутизма. С одной стороны, наверное, такие исследования нужны – кого-то они все-таки убедят, все же 2,5 миллиона детей – это солидно. С другой стороны, как мы знаем, факты – худший из возможных способов убеждения, у меня про это было отдельное видео [5].

И возникает вопрос, нужно ли продолжать тратить государственные деньги на проведение исследований, доказывающих то, в чем ни один эксперт не сомневается. Или стоит пересмотреть общий подход к вакцинации сегодня и сделать так, чтобы не привить ребенка вакцинами, которые на протяжении поколений доказали свою эффективность и безопасность, было сложнее, чем привить.

[04/08, 4:18 pm] Wiqar Latifi Sahb Admin Panel Smd: PRESS RELEASE

AIMPLB Condemns Defamatory Remarks Against Madrasas by Bangladeshi Fugitive Writer Urges Government of India to Prevent Foreign Refugees from Interfering in the Country’s Internal Affairs All India Muslim Personal Law Board

New Delhi, August 4, 2026: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has strongly condemned the inflammatory, misleading, and factually baseless remarks made by the controversial Bangladeshi fugitive writer Taslima Nasrin, who recently returned to India after a gap of nineteen years. Speaking to the media in Kolkata, she made highly provocative statements regarding the Uniform Civil Code and Islamic seminaries (madrasas). The Board has described her comments as an irresponsible attempt by a foreign national to interfere in India’s internal affairs. In a press statement, AIMPLB Spokesperson Dr. S. Q. R. Ilyas said that alleging that Islamic seminaries promote extremism or produce “jihadis” is nothing but a blatant falsehood, a malicious slander, and a deliberate attempt to malign an entire religious and educational tradition. Such baseless accusations not only hurt the religious sentiments of millions of Indian Muslims but also appear to be a calculated effort to vitiate the country’s communal harmony. Dr. Ilyas said it is deeply regrettable that a foreign national, who herself is living in India as a refugee, is making inflammatory comments on the country’s religious, constitutional, and social issues. He emphasized that India cannot permit anyone, under the guise of freedom of expression, to spread hatred, defame religious institutions, or interfere in the country’s internal affairs. He urged the Government of India to ensure that such individuals remain within the bounds of the law and to prevent the recurrence of such provocative statements. Referring to Taslima Nasrin’s comments on Bangladesh, Dr. Ilyas said that her remarks were equally irresponsible and inconsistent with India’s balanced foreign policy. Such statements have the potential to adversely affect bilateral relations between the two neighbouring countries, and the Government of India should take serious note of this aspect as well. Dr. Ilyas further observed that the campaign to malign Islamic seminaries is not new. Similar allegations have been made repeatedly over the past several decades, yet neither those making these accusations have ever produced any credible evidence, nor has any investigative or security agency in the country substantiated such claims. Despite this, vilifying madrasas has become part of an organised political and ideological campaign. He pointed out that the reality is that thousands of madrasas across India provide education to millions of children without placing any financial burden on the national exchequer. Thousands of their graduates go on to obtain higher qualifications from leading universities and serve the nation with distinction in the judiciary, academia, journalism, civil services, social work, and many other fields. Defaming such institutions, which render invaluable national service, is not only unjust but also detrimental to the country’s educational and social harmony. The All India Muslim Personal Law Board calls upon the Government of India to take serious cognisance of these inflammatory remarks, prevent foreign refugees from interfering in India’s internal and religious affairs, and ensure that the country’s constitutional and social fabric is not allowed to become a casualty of the hate-driven politics of any foreign individual.
