‘Rise above…’: Kash Patel’s handwritten notes of ‘affirmations’, ‘Om’ bracelet viral

'Rise above...': Kash Patel's handwritten notes of 'affirmations', 'Om' bracelet viral

Kash Patel’s handwritten note and ‘Om’ bracelet go viral.

The photograph of a handwritten note of FBI director Kash Patel from the recent congressional hearing is going viral as Patel dominated the headlines the past weeks — first with his ‘missteps’ in the Charlie Kirk investigation and then with his heated Congress hearing. The purported photo shows Kash Patel’s hand along with the notes where he apparently jotted down a few points. But social media users pointed out that those notes read more like affirmations that Kash Patel needed to face the tough hearing. Another reason the photo went viral was a silver bracelet with an ‘Om’ symbol that Patel was wearing, reaffirming his Hindu faith.

Kash Patel’s handwritten notes

‘Good fight with Swalwell. Hold the line. Brush off their attacks. Rise above next line of partisan attacks’ — Kash Patel jotted down on a piece of paper with ‘Director Patel’ printed on it. “Lmfao he’s writing words of affirmation to himself,” one social media user wrote. “This reads like the pep talk I give myself before every holiday with my family,” another reacted. “What an absolute loser having to write himself motivational notes because no one loves him,” a third user wrote. ‘Lmao this is so sad. It’s like he’s hyping himself up in the mirror before the hearing,’ added a fourth. “Lmao this is so sad. It’s like he’s hyping himself up in the mirror before the hearing,” another roasted. Swalwell referred to California Rep Eric Swalwell with whom Patel clashed during the hearing over Epstein files. Swalwell asked him to answer in ‘yes’ or ‘no’ as to whether Patel told Attorney General Pam Bondi that President Donald Trump’s name was in the Epstein Files. Patel said he was going to call bulls**t on Swalwell’s career in Congress.

Red thread, ‘Om’ bracelet

Kash Patel’s wrist was adorned with several bands, including one red Kalava, and a silver bracelet with ‘Om’. Patel is a Hindu but his recent utterings in the memory of Charlie Kirk triggered speculations over the faith he follows. “To my friend Charlie Kirk, rest now, brother. We have the watch and I’ll see you in Valhalla,” Patel said. Valhalla is a pagan concept that refers to the ‘Hall of the Slain’. Warriors who die bravely in battle enter Valhalla after they are chosen by Odin, it is believed.
