[ALOCHONA] Does The West Have A Future?



THE NEW TYRANNY: Does The West Have A Future?

by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

Living in America is becoming very difficult for anyone with a moral conscience, a sense of justice, or a lick of intelligence.  Consider:

We have had a second fake underwear bomb plot, a much more fantastic one than the first hoax.  The second underwear bomber was a CIA operative or informant allegedly recruited by al-Qaeda, an organization that US authorities have recently claimed to be defeated, in disarray, and no longer significant.

This defeated and insignificant organization, which lacks any science and technology labs, has invented an "invisible bomb" that is not detected by the porno-scanners. A "senior law enforcement source" told the New York Times that "the scary part" is that "if they built one, they probably built more."  

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared that "the plot itself indicates that the terrorists keep trying to devise more and more perverse and terrible ways to kill innocent people." Hillary said this while headlines proclaimed that the US continues to murder woman and children with high-tech drones in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and Africa.  The foiled fake plot, Hillary alleged, serves as "a reminder as to why we have to remain vigilant at home and abroad in protecting our nation and in protecting friendly nations and peoples like India and others."

FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress that the fake plot proves the need for warrantless surveillance in order to detect--what, fake plots?  In Congress Republican Pete King and Democrat Charles Ruppersberger denounced media for revealing that the plot was a CIA operation, claiming that the truth threatened the war effort and soldiers' lives.  

Even alternative news media initially fell for this fake plot. Apparently, no one stops to wonder how al Qaeda, which has become so disorganized and helpless that it is on the run and left its revered leader, Osama bin Laden, in a Pakistan village alone and unguarded to be murdered by US Navy Seals, could catch the CIA off guard with an "undetectable" bomb, to use the description provided by Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Dianne Feinstein, who was briefed on the device by US intelligence personnel.

Notice that the Secretary of State has committed the bankrupt US and its unravelling social safety net to the protection of "India and others" from terrorists.  But the real significance of this latest hoax is to introduce into the fearful American public the idea of an undetectable underwear bomb. 

What does this bring to mind?  Anyone of my generation or any science fiction aficionado immediately thinks of Robert Heinlein's The Puppet Masters. 

Written in 1951 but set in our time, Earth is invaded by small creatures that attach to the human body and take over the person. The humans become the puppets of their masters. Large areas of America succumb to the invaders before the morons in Washington understand that the invasion is real and not a conspiracy theory. 

On clothed humans, the creatures cannot be detected, and the edict goes out that anyone clothed is a suspect. Everyone must go about naked.  Women are not even allowed to carry purses in their hand, because the creature can be in the purse attached to the woman's hand. 

Obviously, if the CIA, the news sources, and Dianne Feinstein's briefers are correct that defeated al-Qaeda has come up with an "undetectable" bomb, we will have to pass through airport security naked. 

If so, how will this be possible?  If each airline passenger must go through a personal screening by disrobing in a room, how long will it take to clear "airport security"?  I doubt there is any place in North or South American that the traveller couldn't drive there faster. Or perhaps this is an answer to depression level US unemployment. Millions of unemployed Americans will be hired to view naked people before they board airliners. 

As the Transportation Safety Administration division of Homeland Security has taken its intrusions, unchallenged, into train, bus, and highway travel, are we faced with the total collapse of the clothing industry?  Stay tuned.

A couple of years ago a noted philosopher wrote an article in which he suggested that Americans live in an artificial or virtual reality. Another noted philosopher said that he thought there was a 25% chance that the philosopher was right. I am convinced that he is right. Americans live in the Matrix.  Nothing that they know or think that they know is correct.

For example, our non-truth-telling "leaders" continually declare that "Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East."  This myth is one of the many reasons rolled out to justify American taxpayers' declining incomes being taxed to provide the Israeli government with the means to murder Palestinians and steal their country.

Israeli democracy a myth you say?  Yes, a myth. According to news reports compiled and reported by Antiwar.com (May 8), the September 4 Israeli elections have been cancelled, because the "opposition leader Shaul Mofaz is joining the government."

Mofaz sold out his party for personal power, a typical politician's behavior. 

Mofaz's treachery produced protests from his followers, but, according to news reports, "israeli police were quick to crack down on the protest, terming it 'illegal' and arresting a number of journalists."

Ah, "Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East."  

In truth Israel is a fascist state, one that has been in violation of international law and Christian morality during the entirely of its existence.  Yet, in America Israel is a hallowed icon. Like Bush, Cheney, and Obama, millions of American "christians" worship Israel and believe it is "God's calling" for Americans to die for Israel.

If you believe in murdering your opponents, not debating with them, dispossessing the powerless, creating a fictional world based on lies and paying the corporate media to uphold the lies and fictional world, you are part of what the rest of the world perceives as "The West."

Let me back off from being too hard on The West. The French and Greek peoples have shown in the recent elections that they are unplugging from the Matrix and understand that they, the 99%, are being put by their elites in a position to be the sacrificial lambs for the mistakes of the 1% mega-rich, who compete with one another in terms of how many billions of dollars or euros, how many yachts, collections of exotic cars, and exotic Playboy and Penthouse centerfolds they have as personal possessions. 

The central banks of the West--the US Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the UK bank--are totally committed to the prosperity of the mega-rich.  No one else counts. Marx and Lenin never had a target as exists today.  Yet, the left-wing is today so feeble and brainwashed that it does not exist as even a minor countervailing power.  The American left-wing has even accepted the absurd official account of 9/11 and of Osama bin Laden's murder in Pakistan by Navy Seals. A movement so devoid of mental and emotional strength is useless. It might as well not exist.

People without valid information are helpless, and that is where Western peoples are. The new tyranny is arising in the West, not in Russia and China. The danger to humanity is in the nuclear button briefcase in the Oval Office and in the brainwashed and militant Amerikan population, the most totally disinformed and ignorant people on earth.

Re: [KHABOR] RE: [mukto-mona] Fw: [Alapon] Wall Street Journal article--my comment-- a religion as state ideology does not harm development.



We have seen some versions of Islamic state. Talibanized Afghanstan is one of them and obviously the most extreme one. Development depends on how a nation utilizes it's human resources. The Taliban administration made women who constitute half of the human resources almost unproductive. I am wondering what Mr. Hannan will do with all the women now employed in various sectors.

Dear Sirs,

Please see my short response to the letter below. If the state takes a religion as its ideology, it does not harm development. Abbasid Khilafat had Islam as the basis of the state. So is the case of Mughals in India . Ashoke's rule in India had Buddhism, Israel has Judaism. All these states reached high stage of development and religious ideology did not harm development.

Development is the function of good leaders, good laws and good governance, state ideology help this only. A proper Islamic state is expected to do  well in development because it produces moral persons, not secular materialists.

Encouraging news indeed!

Advanced and prosperous countries do not mix religion and politics. This is not just a statement; the truth is right in front of our eyes. That's the key to the success of the advanced countries. Government has no business to deal with any religion. Let religion take its course.

Whatever progress Bangladesh has made under the present government is due to whatever secular policies they have implemented, and we see the results right away. This should be the encouragement for the government to adopt more secular policies. Country's progress comes from the progress of the individual citizen, irrespective of religious affiliation. When government starts to promote a particular religion over the others, it breaks the cycle of progress in other religious groups, which is bound to degrade the overall progress of the country. Let's learn from history, and work together towards the progress and prosperity of all citizens by transforming Bangladesh into a true secular country, as opposed to making it a model Islamic country. There is no future for any Islamic or Hindu or Christian country in the world. These are vacuous aspirations only - nothing to do with reality.

Re: [KHABOR] RE: [mukto-mona] Fw: [Alapon] Wall Street Journal article--my comment-- a religion as state ideology does not harm development.



Hannan is totally ignorant of history.  The Abbasid dynasty came to power by assassinating the Umayyads en mass on a dinner table, perpetrated it's rule by the support of the Mutazillas who did not believe that the holy Quran was the uncreated word of God etc.  If this is the example of a theocratic regime, all atheists would support such administrations.  Talking about the Ashoke and the Mughals; Ashoke was himself converted to Buddhism though the creed did not crystallize as a religion till then and the Mughals were such devout believers that none of them circumcised and the most famous of them even tried to found a new religion.  Aurangzeb tried to show his adherence to Islam bringing about the collapse of  the dynasty.

Wall Street Journal article

Bangladesh Is South Asia 's Standard-Bearer

The former 'basket case' is more moderate on religion and more pragmatic on development than its peers.

 

Despite its 160-million strong population, Bangladesh can find it hard to elbow its way onto the global stage. It's in an area where India is cast in the lead as the dominant economy, Pakistan plays the intermittent villain, and Sri Lanka and Nepal feature in cameos as countries with uncertain futures. Yet when U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton touches down in Dhaka Saturday—the highest ranking American official to visit in nearly a decade—she'll encounter a country that can teach a lesson or two to all other regional actors.

The world's third-most populous Muslim-majority country stands out as a model of moderation. Unlike in virtually every other country in the Muslim world, Islamists in Bangladesh are on the defensive. Seven people, including high profile leaders of the Jamaat-e-Islami, South Asia's most powerful Islamist group, face war crimes charges for their role in slaughtering Bangladeshi patriots, Muslim and Hindu alike, during the country's 1971 war of independence against Pakistan .

Current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed's father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (1920-75) led that struggle, which claimed 3 million lives according to the Bangladesh government. The trial reveals the government's willingness to deal with one of the most painful episodes in the young nation's history. It also shows its refusal to allow Islamists to label the regime as "anti-Islam" for pursuing them, a form of blackmail that often obstructs justice in other places.

In a similar vein, Bangladesh can boast one of Asia 's best records of fighting Islamist terrorism. The South Asia Terrorism Portal estimates that only nine people have lost their lives since Ms. Hasina swept to power at the end of 2008. In the four years before that, terrorists claimed 56 lives at home, while the Bangladeshi terrorist group Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (or HuJi-B) carried out high-profile terrorist strikes in India .

Much of Bangladesh 's success in confronting the most intolerant elements within its own society comes from crafting an inclusive national narrative. Unlike Pakistan , Bangladesh does not define itself by faith alone. Most Bangladeshis see no contradiction between being proud Muslims and proud Bengalis. This self-confidence gives the country the ability, which some other Muslim societies lack, to push back against extremism.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed.

Then there's the down-to-earth pragmatism present in Dhaka 's approach to development. Over the past five years, the economy has expanded on an average of 6% per year. Unlike India , which is hobbled by socialist-era labor laws that interfere with hiring and firing, Bangladesh has built a world-class apparel industry that employs more than 3.5 million people and supplies global brands like H&M, Walmart and Tommy Hilfiger. Thanks to this, the country is already the world's second largest exporter of readymade garments after China . If it plays its cards right, Bangladesh , more than any other South Asian nation, could attract a fresh wave of labor-intensive manufacturing looking for cheaper alternatives to China . Goldman Sachs lists Bangladesh among its "Next 11," countries that have the potential to become major economies.

And after years of tensions with its bigger neighbor, Bangladesh is now being practical and seeking to normalize ties with India . The two countries have already settled long festering territorial disputes and opened up trade. A landmark transit agreement would place Bangladesh at the heart of a potentially dynamic growth corridor encompassing northeastern India and a newly democratizing Burma . This is currently being stymied by Indian politician Mamata Banerjee, who as chief minister of the West Bengal state that borders Bangladesh opposes an allied water-sharing agreement with Dhaka .

Still, Dhaka and New Delhi are pushing for this agreement and it could succeed, possibly ushering in a new peace dividend in the region. At any rate, Dhaka's pragmatism in its foreign relations stands in contrast to India, which can't always suppress its preachy rhetoric of nonalignment (toward the West), as well as Pakistan, which often sputters in a sea of Islamic fundamentalism and knee-jerk opposition to India.

That said, Bangladesh is hardly free of problems. Ms. Hasina and her chief opponent, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party's Khaleda Zia, have created a poisonous zero-sum politics, which has come to the fore again in recent days. The BNP is up in arms at the disappearance of one of its leaders last month and they blame Ms. Hasina's ruling party. They have shut down the country with crippling national strikes four times in the past month.

No one knows how the BNP official in question disappeared, though, and a string of similar disappearances reflect a deteriorating law and order situation. Either law enforcement is engaged in extra-judicial actions, or vigilantes can roam free with impunity. Neither is encouraging.

Meanwhile, the Islamist threat has been reduced but not eliminated. The BNP remains at best ambivalent and at worst actively sympathetic toward Islamist forces similar to those that have helped drag Pakistan in a downward spiral. And though Bangladesh 's army deserves some credit for keeping its distance from politics since late 2008, it's by no means certain that the country's latest experiment with democracy, barely three and a half years old, will last. The military first seized power in 1975, and has done so repeatedly since.

But for now, these worries can take a back seat. This weekend, a country once dismissed by former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger as a basket case, gets to show one of his successors how wrong it has proven him.

[ALOCHONA] INDIA'S SIKKIM POLICY IN BANGLADESH

INDIA'S SIKKIM POLICY IN BANGLADESH

By Abid Bahar, Canada

It is interesting for Bangladeshis to learn and grow from many lessons
about India's policy in Sikkim and how Sikkim eventualy lost its
independence to India. If we look at the global Indian policy in South
Asia toward its neighbours, we see that eversince it became
independent, it occupied Goa, Hydrabad, Kashmir, even Monipur in 1949
and in 1975 it swallowed Sikkin. It is now trying to swallow Maldvip,
Nepal and Bhutan. Please read the recent developments in those
countries to see the eventual eclips of those countries.

India follows the old colonial British policy of swallowing the
smaller neighbourings nations. This is consistent with Neheru's India
Doctrine ( variously named as the "akhonda Bharota," "Ram Rajya,"
"connectivity").(1) Indian sucess in Bangladesh to make it a dependent
state, began with Mujib's 25 year Friendship Treaty with Indra Gandhi,
followed by Awami League's merger with the pro- Indian Moni Singh's
Bangladesher Communist Party and Mujib's subsequent policy of keeping
the Indian led Rakkhi Bahini in Bangladesh. Mujib's three year rule
ended Bangladesh into "a bottomless basket case". Please read similar
story of Indian policy in Sikkim.
http://sikhim.blogspot.ca/2009/08/indias-illegal-occupation-of.htmlI
India Doctrine is not a myth; it was born with a brain to make people
suffer for the sake of a chauvinistic nationalism called Brahmoism.
When one reads the history of Bromo imperialism in South Asia began
from Ram Mohan Roy, then from Nehru's ideas, it makes sense.(

Many observers believe that the 1975 coup in Bangladesh that removed
BKSAL from power was a great escape by Bangladesh to its reassertion
of independence. Frustrated to lose the Moina Pakhi ( India's dear
game bird Bangladesh) it now squeezes Bangladesh to its submittion, it
built dams in all most all the rivers flowing from the Himalayas
through Napal and India. India didn't build that number of dams in any
of its provinces. It is a case of open hostality toward Bangladesh.
Some people like Illias Ali and others who vigourously campaigned
against the Tipaimukh dam and its effects in Bangladesh were known to
have been abducted and killed by Indian trained cadres code named the
" 100 crusaders." Today like in Mujib's time, when over 30 thousand
people were abducted or killed (one of them was Siraj Sikder,)
opposition leaders are not safe fearing to be killed if stayed home or
outside the home fearing to be abducted( thus the popular phrase
recently came into use "Hasina's Ghoree thaklee Khoon bairai thaklee
goom). People who oppose Hasina's "khoon or goon policy are condemned
by the rough Awami cadres as the "enemies of the liberation war" and
are"razakars." with "a Pakistani agenda". In this category Awami
cadres even don't hasitate to include Ziaur Rahman.

It is widely claimed that Moin U supervised election in 2008 that
brought Hasina to a landslide victory was engineered by the Indian
RAW. Before the election, Hasina was found equally corrupt by the CTG
making money in bags that clients brought to her home. Moin U was
previously awarded 6 horses by India and there were reported secret
meetings held in Western cities in New York and Sanskatwan to hatch
the RAW Plan for installing Hasina. Experts agree that RAW offices to
impliment India's imperialist ambitions in Bangladesh have been
carried out from Calcutta and Agartala in its BD research centres.
Pronob Mukherjee is directly responsible to coordinate the action.(2)

In the cultural and media front, Rabindranath Tagore as a Bengali poet
(who despite his great literary contributions was opposed to the
establishment of Dhaka University) has been seen as a bridge between
West Bengal and Bangladesh and the socalled secular cultural teams and
pro Indian newspapers like Prothom Alo established in 1993 and the
silly newspaper Jonokhonto and few othe in Dhaka, carries out the
Indian agenda in Bangladesh. (3)

It is true, "India would definitely go for merging more small
independent neighboring nations with [her smaller neighbours
like]Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Maldives and Sri Lanka but at the same
time would also be at a very high risk of dissolution and collapse on
herself, yielding into 15 to 25 independent nations." (4)

A Sikkimese says: "India follows British legacy. their policies are
colonial and imperialistic. If us the sikkimese could get our heads
out of the sand and the pointless lepcha bhutia nepali arguments we
would have seen what india did to manipur in 1949, india's annexation
of kashmir, etc. the chogyal asking his people not to take up arms was
justified as the import of arms had been banned by a treaty signed
between sikkim and delhi. on another note the chogyal's hands were
tied as he was a buddhist king and his holiness the dalai lama had
been given sanctuary by india. it is up to modern, forward looking
sikkimese youth to bring forward a freedom movement!" (5)

Can India swallow Bangladesh? With limited knowledge about the RAW we
have no clue. But India has been sucessful in causing poverty in the
western, northern and in the eastern region of Bangladesh. Hasina and
her team of so-called Indra secularists has strong influence in the
grass root level in Bangladesh to help India make its connectivity
policy. Under the circumstances it is recommended that the regional
countries to defend themselves, should monitor RAW activities and go
for forming a commonwealth of South Asian Nations/ or form a
confederation of South Asian nations.Good luck Bangladesh!

[mukto-mona] FW: Coalition Against Genocide condemns SIT's shoddy report on Gujarat violence



            In Bangladesh, whenever there was a collective voice of concerned citizenry and/or the voice of innumerable victims and their families against the Genocide of 1971, it has been stifled as "anti-Islamic." There have been military coup after coup to suppress the cry for justice. Meanwhile, in the USA,  Sarmila Bose gets away with a whole book-length lie about the "dominant narrative" being against the goodness of the Pakistani Military Generals and their dutiful, marauding soldiers mutilating and raping Bengali women.

             The dominant narrative in Bangladesh is the denial of Genocide of 1971 and the suppression of the on-going trial of the perpetrators of crimes against humanity in 1971.

               It is good to see that the Indian still can open their mouth against injustice.  In Bangladesh such voices are mocked with a ferocity.

Coalition Against Genocide condemns SIT's shoddy report on Gujarat violence  

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  

May 11, 2012

 

Coalition Against Genocide (CAG - http://coalitionagainstgenocide.org/), a broad coalition of over 40 organizations dedicated to the cause of justice and accountability, condemns the report filed by the Special Investigations Team (SIT) as shoddy investigation and a deliberate distortion of evidence.    

 

The Supreme Court appointed SIT's closure report, on the complaint brought forth by Mrs. Zakia Jafri, is replete with inconsistencies, contradicting inferences and devoid of any substantial effort to examine all the records that can throw light on the alleged crimes. "The line of investigation seems focused on finding excuses to discard the available evidence by casting doubt on the credibility of the victims and those that have come forward with evidence.", said Biju Mathew, one of the founding members of the coalition. On the other hand, a report by Mr. Raju Ramachandran, who was appointed by the Court as amicus curiae, has declared that there was sufficient evidence to charge and prosecute Chief Minister Narendra Modi.  

 

CAG expresses its dismay that the SIT has summarily dismissed the testimonies of two senior police officials that had made specific allegations against the Gujarat state government and Chief Minister Narendra Modi.


Whistle-blower cop Sanjiv Bhatt had alleged that he was present at a meeting held at the Chief Minister's residence in which Mr. Narendra Modi instructed senior state and police officials to "allow Hindus to vent their anger." The same allegation has been corroborated by another high ranking police official R. B. Sreekumar in a separate affidavit. In that affidavit he has alleged that the then Director General of Police K. Chakravarty conveyed that similar instructions were given in that meeting by Chief Minister Modi.

 

It should be noted that the destruction of the minutes and other official records by the Modi administration that would have conclusively clarified Sanjiv Bhatt's presence in the said meeting, was ignored by the SIT.

 

Instead of probing these allegations with the seriousness they deserve, the SIT made the following outrageous claim in its report: 

 

"The interpretation made on alleged illegal instructions given by the Chief Minister by [former DGP R. B.] Sreekumar and [suspended police officer] Sanjiv Bhatt appear to be without basis. Further, even if such allegations are believed for the sake of argument, mere statement of alleged words in the four walls of a room does not constitute an offense." 

 

In other words, the SIT does not hold it an offense for a sitting Chief Minister to give overt approval for sectarian violence by instructing police officials to look the other way. It is a sad day for Indian democracy when a body appointed by the court to unearth the truth, itself conducts its proceedings in a manner that reflects clear bias and prejudice. 

 

CAG believes that SIT's twisted interpretation of the law has monumentally disastrous implications for the foundational principles of the Constitution including the guarantees to the right to life for every citizen. CAG further believes that the SIT has lost all legal, ethical and moral standing to continue the investigation in a free and fair manner. 

 

The Coalition appeals to the Supreme Court to intervene to: 

  • Reject the SIT report and its line of investigation, especially in light of amicus curiae's diametrically opposite conclusion based on the same evidence.
  • Appoint a separate investigative body, with an explicit mandate to probe the role of the state administration, law enforcement personnel, politicians and other accused in the perpetration of violence and subsequent subversion of justice to the victims.
  • Order the new investigative body to probe allegations brought against the SIT, since its officers are themselves accused in some instances.

Coalition Against Genocide affirms its solidarity with the survivors of the pogroms and the civil society groups in their continued struggle for justice and reparation.
