Why #TeresaNoSaint is trending?

Hindus consider Mother as an Epitome of Sacrifice & Church found the easiest way to Brainwash Majority Hindus and spread their Propaganda.
They first made Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, a Saint & later gave her a name #MotherTeresa.

For Decades, we
believed this false narrative & infact, all WHITE ROBES were considered as Messengers Of God.
Whether its Father or Nun or Nurse, movies of all languages showed them as Pious, God fearing who takes care of Orphans and Destitute.
But, is it the truth? Let’s go through the Life
History of So Called Mother, i.e. Teresa.
The “myth” of Mother Teresa began when British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge interviewed the “Indian nun from Calcutta”, for BBC’s ‘Meeting Point’.
The huge success of the interview prompted Muggeridge to convince the channel to make
a film based on Mother Teresa’s work. Chatterjee describes the scenes from the film, titled Something Beautiful for God:
Although fictitious gruesome slums were not built for his film, the city was presented in a negative light. A scene shows Calcutta as a smoking wasteland with
a corridor in the middle illuminated by a shaft of light, along which Mother Teresa walks serenely.
In 2017, investigative journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi, in a book titled #OriginalSin, published accounting documents from the controversial Vatican Bank – officially known as the
Institute for the Works of Religion – which revealed that the funds which were held in Mother Teresa's name on behalf of her charity had made her the Bank's biggest client, and they amounted to billions. Had she made substantial withdrawals, the Bank would have risked default.
Born in Skopje, Macedonia on 26 August 1910, she came to Bharat in 1937 as a nun and according to her, she was moved deeply by the misery of uncared, famished, starving, disease-afflicted millions on Calcutta’s pavements.
So, Teresa established the Missionaries of Charity (MC)
in 1950 as a refuge for them & to feed, dress, nurse them to health. Foreign charities supplied funds to her mission. She and her nuns did the work out of Christian compassion, she said, but never mentioned openly that those sheltered and nursed were converted to Christianity.
The author of Mother Teresa: The Untold Story, Aroup Chatterjee was born & brought up in Calcutta. He emigrated to Britain, married an Irish. He was surprised to see the image that had been built up for Mother Teresa and her charity work in the West, especially in the United
States (US) and the UK. As a native of Calcutta, he knew of the insignificant charity work of Teresa in Calcutta. So he grew curious and studied her activities for over twenty-five years.
Teresa lied by exaggerating the figures of persons she was feeding daily in her acceptance
speech while receiving the @NobelPrize in 1979. The ambulances donated by a Calcutta businessman were, in fact, used by her nuns as taxis to ferry around in Calcutta. Her nuns refused to pick up dying persons within even 200 meters of the compassion house. (Chatterjee has
recorded his telephone conversations with the nuns and reproduced them verbatim in the book). But Mother Teresa continued to tell her Western audiences that her mission routinely picked up abandoned babies and the dying and dead bodies from Calcutta’s pavements.
Journalist and
author Christopher Hitchens made a documentary in 1994, Hell’s Angel, which was highly critical of Teresa’s charity work. It was broadcast on a British television channel, Channel 4.
The @guardian had carried an article in 1996 alleging Teresa’s complicity in & knowledge of the
unacceptable practices that were taking place in her charity homes. In Jan 1997, various European TV channels broadcast the documentary, Mother Teresa: Time For Change? which was critical of Teresa’s methods and accused her of neglect. The German magazine, Stern, published a
devastating critique of Mother Teresa on the first anniversary of her death on 10 Sep 1998.
In addition to Chatterjee’s books Mother Teresa: #TheFinalVerdict and Mother Teresa #TheUntoldStory, Christopher Hitchens’ #TheMissionaryPosition: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice,
there is one by Gezim Alpion, titled Mother Teresa: Saint or Celebrity? which was as critical of Teresa as the other works mentioned earlier. Published in 2006, it exposed the well-orchestrated publicity blitz that Teresa encouraged about herself, even when her real charity work
didn’t count for much.
Few above mentioned details taken from @SwarajyaMag.

Mother Teresa wasn't a saintly person – she was a shrewd operator with unpalatable views who knew how to build up a brand.

And Let Me Add That Those Who Accuse Hindus As Superstitious Were The Ones
Who Danced Naked When Teresa was officially declared a saint. Following two successive confirmed miracles.
The Catholic Church in Calcutta ascribed the miracle of curing an Adivasi woman, Monica Besra, with an abdominal tumour caused by tuberculosis to the grace of Teresa.
The miracle cure was announced on 1 Oct 2002. That it was not a miracle cure but the outcome of a medical treatment was asserted by the doctors who medicated her and by the Superintendent of the Balurghat Hospital. TV channels and newspapers carried this refutation prominently
in the week following the announcement of the miracle. But the very next year, in Oct 2003, Pope John Paul II beatified Mother Teresa. She became “blessed”.
CONVERTED Monica Besra and her family were flown in by the Church to the Vatican, where she met the Pope.
What made Teresa
Acceptable to the West?
A suitably charismatic appearance, a penchant for photo opportunities & a global fundraising brand which has raised & deployed billions of dollars across the world & all this combined with the public’s belief that Mother, or Saint, Teresa preached a
deliciously palatable message of peace and love, took care of the poor and needy and downtrodden.
Aroup in Untold Story, argues that D nun was in fact a publicity hungry, anti-abortion lobbyist, who deliberately portrayed an unpleasant image of ‘Calcutta’ for her own advantage.
Further he blames the West, especially America for exoticising the supposed plight of Calcutta. From the eyes of the West, Calcutta was a sordid wasteland, and Teresa, the saviour in this sub-continental horror show. According to Chatterjee, this was a myth encouraged by her
and further propagated by the western media.
He writes:
I believe that in this age of racial equality and political correctness, it is comforting for a white person to know that there is a corner of the world called Calcutta which can be portrayed as the white man’s ultimate
burden with impunity and without guilt.

This is an extremely long & informational thread, please bear with me.
I think overall there will be 80 Tweets.
He argues that when reporting on Teresa, journalists arrive in the city pre-determined to take back a certain kind of story. He found many journalists were afraid to toe the line away from the editorial brief they had received.
Teresa received the best care the several times she
took seriously ill. The author finds it curious that she accepted expensive treatment despite saying she wanted to die in her Kalighat home and “offer up her sufferings to God.”
“In truth, at no time in her long life did she refuse any medical intervention,” writes Chatterjee
with utmost conviction & adds
A 1996 @Reuters photo depicted “poor” children holding a portrait of Mother, praying for her recovery after 3rd angioplasty.
“Did it not occur 2 journalists that poor children do not carry expensive framed photos of old women unless paid to do so?”
While in her Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, she claimed her charity had picked up 36,000 people from the streets, Chatterjee alleges there were several conditions to this.

The MC allegedly had fluctuating definitions of who were the ‘poorest of the poor.’
Chatterjee
describes horrid tales of neglect in the various homes of the MC. In the orphanages often the same cloth was used to wipe all the babies’ bottoms.
Adding to the dreadful hygiene standards, the children were expected to defecate in open drains.
Monidyne, a special powdered milk
manufactured for Mother’s orphanages was in fact not suitable for babies at all, Chatterjee reveals. It contained a large amount of sucrose and didn’t have “absolute essentials like folic acid, vitamins K, B12 and C or D.”
In the Home for the Dying, needles were often re-used
after simply washing in cold water, as were gloves.
Many times the nuns’ prayer time took precedence over providing care to those who needed it. Children were thrust off to untrained ‘ammas’, some of who even beat the children, Chatterjee finds.
A Former Nun in the Order
#SusanShields Shocking Revelation:
“In the Homes for the Dying Mother taught the sisters how to secretly baptise those who were dying. Sisters were to ask each person in danger of death if he wanted a ‘ticket to heaven’. An affirmative reply was to mean consent to baptism.
The sister was then to pretend that she was just cooling the person’s forehead with a wet cloth, while she was in fact baptising, saying quietly the necessary words. Secrecy was important so that it would not come to be known that Teresa’s order was secretly baptising Hindus
and Muslims.”
She reportedly called for 1000s of Bangladeshi women who got pregnant after being raped by Pakistani soldiers during the war of 1971, to have their babies.
“Teresa’s obsession was that the raped women, if pregnant, must not have abortions,”
She SOLD the babies.
And though, Teresa called Calcutta her home, she had a vast network all across the world & she used her generated good will to launder money in both US and UK. Chatterjee found that what was propagated about Mother Teresa was only partially true, and much of it fiction. She
accepted donations from drug peddlers and swindlers knowingly.
Teresa’s or MC’s financial accounts were never made public in Bharat, the apologists generally claim that Mother Teresa is too innocent to count money or to take the measure of those who offer it.
Two most famous
Money laundering incidents happened under Teresa, Robert Maxwell and Charles Keating.
While few people say that Maxwell cheated Teresa & she was not aware of his cunning, that cant be said about Keating too.

The charity reportedly received lump sum funding from Charles Keating,
the lawyer, banker and financier embroiled in the savings and loan scandal, who even gave Mother the free use of his private jet.
Keating served a ten-year sentence for his part in the Savings and Loan scandal — undoubtedly one of the greatest frauds in American history.
At the
height of his success as a thief in 80s, Keating made donations to Teresa in the sum of one and a quarter million dollars. He also granted her the use of his private jet. In return, Mother Teresa allowed Keating to make use of her prestige on several important occasions.
In 1992
Keating was brought to Trial, due to the notorious crime Keating committed, the trial could have only one outcome: the maximum sentence allowable under California law & Teresa came to his rescue, she wrote to the court seeking clemency for Keating.
For this letter, came a reply
from Paul Turley, Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles.
He wrote a 4 page letter questioning Teresa.
And the letter was so befitting that Teresa had no courage to reply back.
This is by no means the only example of Teresa’s surreptitious attitude to money, nor of her
hypocritical protestations about the beauty of poverty. But it is the clearest instance, and it is proof against the customary apologetics about innocence and unworldliness.
It Was Christopher’s Exposure About Teresa Which Made World Turn Its Head & Notice Something Is Wrong.
Christopher Hitchens, the late British-American journalist, called Mother Teresa "a fanatic, a fundamentalist, and a fraud".
Writing in Slate magazine in 2003, Hitchens pointed to Mother Teresa's description of abortion as the "greatest destroyer of peace" in her Nobel Prize
acceptance speech, and her opposition to abolishing Ireland's ban on divorce and remarriage. The columnist also wrote that "during the deliberations over the Second Vatican Council...MT [Mother Teresa] was to the fore in opposing all suggestions of reform. What was needed, she
maintained, was more work and more faith, not doctrinal revision."
"Her position was ultra-reactionary and fundamentalist even in orthodox Catholic terms," Hitchens said.

Hitchen’s wrote a 129-page essay about the missionary,
Its title was 'The Missionary Position:
Mother Teresa In Theory & Practice'.
She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction. She was a friend to the worst of the rich, taking misappropriated
money from the atrocious Duvalier family in Haiti (whose rule she praised in return) and from Charles Keating of the Lincoln Savings and Loan. Where did that money, and all the other donations, go? The primitive hospice in Calcutta was as run down when she died as it always had
been. She preferred California clinics when she got sick herselfand her order always refused to publish any audit.
- Excerpt from 'Mommie Dearest', an article in Slate magazine
So great was Christopher Hitchens's outrage that he found enough material to fill the pages of a
129-page essay -- one that prompted this review from the New York Press: "If there is a hell, Hitchens is going there for this book."

PART 3 THREAD FOLLOWS, KEEP READING.
He further writes in Slate,
Where did that money, and all the other donations, go? The primitive hospice in Calcutta was as run down when she died as it always had been—she preferred California clinics when she got sick herself—and her order always refused to publish any audit.
But we have her own claim that she opened 500 convents in more than a hundred countries, all bearing the name of her own order. Excuse me, but this is modesty and humility?
The rich world has a poor conscience, and many people liked to alleviate their own unease by sending money
to a woman who seemed like an activist for “the poorest of the poor.” People do not like to admit that they have been gulled or conned, so a vested interest in the myth was permitted to arise, and a lazy media never bothered to ask any follow-up questions. Many volunteers who
went to Calcutta came back abruptly disillusioned by the stern ideology and poverty-loving practice of the “Missionaries of Charity,” but they had no audience for their story.
The Hell’s Angel maker also pointed out to the fact in the documentary that Teresa was an
“ally of the status quo,” pointing to her relationships with dubious figures all around the world, most notably Haitian dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier and scandal-hit American financier Charles Keating. “She may or may not comfort the afflicted, but she has never been known to
afflict the comfortable,” Hitchens said.
“Hell’s Angel” sparked an international debate, and Hitchens soon followed it up with a pamphlet, titled “The Missionary Position,” which repeated and expanded upon his criticisms.
Hitchens concluded that Teresa was “less interested in
helping the poor than in using them as an indefatigable source of wretchedness on which to fuel the expansion of her fundamentalist Roman Catholic beliefs.”
British medical journal the @TheLancet published a critical account of the care in Teresa’s facilities in 1994, and an
academic Canadian study found fault with “her rather dubious way of caring for the sick, her questionable political contacts, her suspicious management of the enormous sums of money she received, and her overly dogmatic views regarding, in particular, abortion, contraception and
divorce.” Multiple accounts say that Teresa’s nuns would baptize the dying and that she had a reputation for proselytizing.
According to a paper by Canadian academics Serge Larivée, Geneviève Chénard and Carole Sénéchal, Teresa's clinics received millions of dollars in donations
but lacked medical care, systematic diagnosis, necessary nutrition and sufficient analgesics for those in pain, in the opinion of the three academics, "Teresa believed the sick must suffer like Christ on the cross". It was said that the additional money might have transformed
the health of the city's poor by creating advanced palliative care facilities.
Like the journalist and author Christopher Hitchens, who is amply quoted in their analysis, the researchers conclude that her hallowed image—which does not stand up to analysis of the facts—was
constructed, and that her beatification was orchestrated by an effective media relations campaign.
“While looking for documentation on the phenomenon of altruism for a seminar on ethics, one of us stumbled upon the life and work of one of Catholic Church's most celebrated woman
and now part of our collective imagination—Mother Teresa—whose real name was Agnes Gonxha,” says Professor Larivée, who led the research. “The description was so ecstatic that it piqued our curiosity and pushed us to research further."
As a result, the 3 researchers collected
502 documents on the life and work of Mother Teresa. After eliminating 195 duplicates, they consulted 287 documents to conduct their analysis, representing 96% of the literature on the founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity (OMC).
At the time of her death, Teresa
had opened 517 missions welcoming the poor and sick in more than 100 countries. The missions have been described as "homes for the dying" by doctors visiting several of these establishments in Calcutta. Two-thirds of the people coming to these missions hoped to a find a doctor
to treat them, while the other third lay dying without receiving appropriate care. The doctors observed a significant lack of hygiene, even unfit conditions, as well as a shortage of actual care, inadequate food, and no painkillers. The problem is not a lack of money—the
Foundation created by Teresa has raised Billions of dollars, but rather a particular conception of suffering & death: “There is something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, to suffer it like Christ's Passion. World gains much from their suffering," was Teresa's reply
Teresa was generous with her prayers but rather miserly with her foundation's millions when it came to humanity's suffering. During numerous floods in India or following the explosion of a pesticide plant in Bhopal, she offered numerous prayers and medallions of the Virgin Mary
but no direct or monetary aid. On the other hand, she had no qualms about accepting the Legion of Honour and a grant from the Duvalier dictatorship in Haiti. Millions of dollars were transferred to the MCO's various bank accounts, but most of the accounts were kept secret,
Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya, mayor of Kolkata from 2005 to 2010, said that "she had no significant impact on the poor of this city", glorified illness instead of treating it and misrepresented the city: "No doubt there was poverty in Calcutta, but it was never a city of lepers
and beggars, as Teresa presented it."

The @TheLancet NEWS| VOLUME 344, ISSUE 8925, P807-808, SEPTEMBER 17, 1994
CALCUTTA PERSPECTIVE
Mother Theresa's care for the dying
Robin Fox In 1994, then editor visited the Home for Dying Destitute in Calcutta and described the medical
care the patients received as "haphazard".
He observed that sisters and volunteers, some of whom had no medical knowledge, frequently made decisions about patient care because of the lack of doctors in the hospice:
Fox specifically held Teresa responsible for these conditions in
the Home, writing, "Mother Theresa prefers providence to planning". Fox also observed that staff either declined to use or lacked access to blood films or "simple algorithms that might help the sisters distinguish" between curable and incurable patients: "Investigations, I was
told, are seldom permissible".
"I was disturbed to learn that the formulary includes no strong analgesics. Along with the neglect of diagnosis, the lack of good analgesia marks Mother Theresa's approach as clearly separate from the hospice movement. I know which I prefer."
According to Hitchens, Teresa encouraged members of her order to secretly baptise dying patients, without regard to the individual's religion. "Sisters were to ask each person in danger of death if he wanted a 'ticket to heaven'. An YES or a NOD was to mean consent to baptism.
Australian feminist Germaine Greer called her a "religious imperialist" who preyed on the most vulnerable in the name of harvesting souls for Jesus.
“It’s good to work for a cause with selfless intentions. But Teresa’s work had ulterior motive, which was to convert the person
who was being served to Christianity,” @RSSorg chief Mohan Bhagwat said at the opening of an orphanage in Rajasthan in February 2015, the @TOI reported. “In the name of service, religious conversions were made. This was followed by other institutes, too.”
In The Untold Story,
Chatterjee claims that Teresa went on innumerable foreign tours and was seldom available in India in times of tragedy, like the Latur earthquake in September 1993 or the flood in Calcutta.
Through his 400-odd page book of exhausting details, often laboriously argued, Chatterjee
does manage to raise suspicion about Mother’s credibility.
It is in fact curious that the city that led Mother to worldwide fame barely shed a tear at her death.
When Teresa died in 1997, “not more than a hundred ordinary people arrived at Mother House”, alleges Chatterjee. None
of those hundred were the “poorest of the poor”, he adds.
Chatterjee supports his claim by quoting headlines of dailies: “The World Mourns, But Calcutta Remains Indifferent” (Ananda Bazaar Patrika); “Numbed by Diana’s Death, Calcutta Fails to Mourn for Teresa” (Aajkal).
In conclusion, The Untold Story must be read to learn the truth of the fraud that has been committed by the Missionaries of Charity to reap harvests of converts from the poor, sick, and uninformed .
Mother Teresa is now made a saint – the Church, in “honouring” her in this way,
is ensuring the longevity of a brand that continues not only to raise the profile of their mission and messages, but surely raises considerable capital into the bargain.
Teresa is proved of committing everything that is considered Sinister, whether its forced conversion or money laundering to cheating Jesus.
