Hitler & Nazis used Olympic Games for their geopolitical agenda

Hitler & Nazis used Olympic Games for their geopolitical agenda.  Berlin, Germany was awarded the summer games in 1931, before Hitler took power. However, Hitler "inherited" the 1936 games from the Weimar Republic he supplanted in 1933. Hitler's regime was still a relatively young. And even though it was a dictatorship, it was very important for Hitler to build popular support, especially among young people who had been so important to the growth of the Nazi movement. Of course, sports and the Olympics were good ways to do that. And so the 1936 Berlin Olympics became a propaganda showcase for Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler's rule. Initially skeptical, Hitler changed his mind after Joseph Goebbels, the minister for public enlightenment and propaganda, highlighted the opportunity to present the "master race" image to the world. The Nazis temporarily toned down public displays of antisemitism during the Games, removing signs that forbade Jews f...

Security features of the Indian EVM & the differences between US EVM & Indian EVM

I ndian Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) are designed with several security features that make them highly resistant to hacking: 1. Standalone Devices: EVMs are not connected to the internet or any other network, which eliminates the risk of remote hacking. Also they don't have a radio frequency (RF) to respond to Bluetooth; they are not even connected to a power socket. EVM and VVPAT run on their own battery/ power-packs supplied by Bharat Electronics Limited / Electronics Corporation of India Limited. 2. Physical Security: Tampering with EVMs requires physical access. The machines are sealed and stored securely, with strict protocols in place to prevent unauthorized access. 3. Randomization: The distribution of EVMs is randomized, making it difficult to predict which machine will be used in which constituency. This further complicates any attempts at tampering. 4. One-Time Programmable Chips: EVMs use one-time programmable chips, which means the software c...

A powerful testament to the transformative impact of spiritual leadership and the enduring legacy of Swami Vivekananda's teachings

A  powerful testament  to the transformative impact of spiritual leadership and the enduring legacy of Swami Vivekananda's teachings. A disciple of Swami Vivekananda, Josephine MacLeod once quoted, "When I met the Czar of Russia, I felt, how he great is, & how small am I! But when I met Vivekananda, I felt, how great he is, & how great am I!" This quote encapsulates her profound experiences with two very different types of leaders: a worldly monarch and a spiritual teacher. Significance of the Quote: 1. Contrast Between Worldly and Spiritual Power:    - Czar of Russia: Meeting the Czar, a symbol of immense political and military power, made MacLeod feel insignificant. This reaction is typical when encountering someone with great worldly authority, where the power dynamics are clear and hierarchical.    - Swami Vivekananda: In contrast, meeting Vivekananda, a spiritual leader, made her feel elevated and significant. Vive...
