3 years back our Emperor started his crazy experiments with economy by demonetising 86% of the currency notes!

Rest is history!

It was also an experiment to see how much we are conditioned to mutely surrender when our civil liberties and rights are taken away!

#thread

We seen then how India's main stream media and journalists colluded with the regime and sold propaganda to us on a daily basis.

TV shows and columns are saturated with praise songs and fantasies!

We heard how our economy is transformed from black to white, informal to digital!

Those fantasies include chip notes, digital economy, record income tax payees and collection, black money bags floating in rivers and left at waste bins, shell companies were dusted to ground, windfall gains to Government, etc.

We forget all pain and reveled in delusion 🤣

Panna Pramukhs taken instructions from the very top daily, yep, like a religious ritual and filled our TV shows and columns with praise songs and propaganda while more than 150 people dead on the ATM queues!

Pliable Smitha had the audacity to admit that how she was inspired 🤣

That was the time, our checks and balances started caving in for letting the rouge Emperor to trample with all our rights and liberties.

Our Courts watched the show from the sidelines and didn't intervene at all!

Opposition became clueless, confused and mute spectators!

A super computing nation is sold the fairy tale of never ending counting of demonetised currency for months and months when its matter of couple of hours to collate the data in simple Excel sheets!

Drugged people bought Emperor's lies and granted him election wins 🤣

Emperor promised: White economy with double digit growth!

I warned you on the early days of DeMon how it will wreck our GDP!

Even before MMS's historic prognosis of tanking of GDP

“Our GDP is Rs. 134 lakh crores..ie, Rs. 36712 cores/day. u cut cashflow & cripple it for a day, how much will be your loss? Any guess??”

Twitter

Emperor promised: He will restore normalcy in 2 weeks, then after his expedition he asked for 50 days!

His theatrical exhortation was else burn him alive!

I told you then he will take minimum 9 months to restore CIC

Emperor's propaganda machine told you that 4-5 lakh crores currency will not return to the banks!

I told you then that more than 99% currency will return to the banks based on the data of inflow!

Panna Pramukhs to Gurumoorthy then preached about the invincibility of new currency notes and how they will help unearth black money from underground bunkers!

I told you then that it has no special security features and it will only help hoarding and more counterfeits!

Panna Pramukhs taken dictation from then Finance Minister and told us about the unbelievable grogrowth of income tax payers and income tax!

I then shown you that those are nothing but cherry picking of data, lies and propaganda!

Now they are plundering RBI, you know it

As RBI to World Bank to every rating agency are competing each other to slash our GDP growth predictions, you know how Emperor was good at selling false dreams!

As job market is drying and every company is laying off their staff, dont forget to remember Emperor's promise on job

RBI stopped printing ₹2000 notes and NIA itself diagnosed that these notes created more counterfeits and more hoarding!

Still we are ready to give Emperor chance, the argument is at least he tried, na?

Let's blame us for letting him to make us Guinea pigs for mad experiments

Now let me share you my blog and articles on analysing the crazy demonetisation.

Of course, you encouraged me to write them.

I owe you a lot for the support and inspiration 🙏

This blog "Decipher the Demonetisation" was well received by you all around 1.8 lakh views.

Though I don't know anything about economists, my experience in resources management helped me to make prognosis which proved to be correct now!

Bluster as policy

A look into the various supplementary claims the government trotted out when demonetisation was proving to be a blunder and how unprepared the Prime Minister’s kitchen cabinet (assuming there was one) was to deal with the aftermath of the invalidation of 86 per cent of the cash in the economy at a stroke.

This author page in @[email protected] is having a series of articles written by me on digital economy, income tax lies, etc.

Thank you so much for @[email protected] for pushing me constantly to write for them

Demonetisation: A circus, clowns and a silver bullet

Two years after the disastrous demonetisation, the Prime Minister and his Finance Minister—even the fawning media— no longer speak of the ‘Demonetisation Dividend’. There has been none

This is my article in our favorite paper @[email protected] on lies and deceit of Modi regime.

Thank you @[email protected] for giving me the space there.

James Wilson's well-researched blog posts and tweets have earned him high praise and made him a social media star.

When Twitter tried to shadow ban me then when I tried to expose lies of the regime, @[email protected] take it up to the public then.

Thank you @[email protected]

Twitter battles a shadow

The last retweet from Gauri Lankesh, the journalist who was killed this evening in Bangalore, was: "Who doesn't want people to read @jamewils rigorous fact-check of the #DeMonetisationDisaster?"

Twitter shadow-bans demonetisation critic James Wilson's account - MediaNama

"No idea. Maybe some guys don't want to see the facts", said James Wilson, commenting on the apparent shadowbanning of his Twitter account.

MediaNama

@[email protected] also taken up my cause then.

The shadow ban may be a tool to silence trolls but it is quelling voices that critique those in power, like James Wilson’s.

Newslaundry.com is India's Independent News Media and Media Critique Platform.

Now @[email protected] is leapfrogged from shadow banning to suspending accounts which are critical of the regime.

This shows how much the space for dissent is shrunken even in the social media controlled by big corporation.

Free speech! My foot!

Remember demonetisation was an experiment to understand how much nonsense and dictatorship we will concede without any protest.

Now we see that the regime got emboldened with that experiment and banking heavily on our servility and stupidity.

NRC to Kashmir, we are guinea pigs!

3 years after demonetisation: Security features delayed as Govt and RBI juggle currency printing, demand

Minutes of the last meeting of the Strategic Planning Group of the Currency and Coins Division of the Ministry of Finance, held on June 3, show that printing and bank note paper stock situation continue to be in flux after demonetisation.

The Indian Express
@jamewils it's great to blue tick here.😄
@jamewils you were the first who I read who pointed out the disaster of the decision made.
@jamewils there can be no other explanation to demonetisation other than this, a tyrant who knows only tyranny inflicted a disaster on the people, just to satisfy his wild fantasy and his cronies.

@jamewils He said give me 50 days, else burn me alive. Its 3 years, 120 deaths, MSME in ICU, businesses hit, entire lot of 500/1000 Re notes returned, no black money found, banks lost > 6 month engaged in currency exchange instd of chasing NPAs, money spent on printing new notes & ATMs, nobel laureates taunted.

What cr@p!

@jamewils actually the SC has been a bigger let down than the Opposition parties. The latest being how habeas corpus cases were pushed aside for Kashmir leaders. It’s a shame
@jamewils Will never ever forget this day.. Ruined millions of lives & irreparably damaged the economy!
