"Never mind that forty years ago, the CIA, under President
John F. Kennedy, orchestrated a regime change in Baghdad. In
1963, after a succesful coup, the Ba'ath party came to power
in Iraq. Using lists provided by the CIA, the new Ba'ath
regime systematically eliminated hundreds of doctors,
teachers, lawyers, and political figures known to be
leftists [reference given]. An entire intellectual community
was slaughtered.
I knew it was dirty...but not that the CIA orchestrated the
elimination of intellectuals. Thats more than slightly
unnerving.
In his book, The Open Mind, by Robt Openheimer (blacklisted
after finishing his work on the atomic bomb...recent spin not
withstanding)... Openheimer discuusses what he saw at the time
(late 40's as a deliberate attempt from the US govt to dumb
down the US school system) apparently you can control
idiots but not people able to think effectively.
The blow back on this is what we see today destroying american
competitiveness in world markets..... the 'Blow back' is a
term coined by the CIA to mean negative reaction to one of its
dirty ops that exposes them as behind it. That was
explained in a recent documentary film 'why we fight'... some
of the same producers were involved in filming 'The
Corporation'.
I suppose that it would not be entirely out of line to expect
the same sort of purge of intellectuals in the US as we have
seen in Russia, Cambodia, and China... a bit hard to fathom as
destructive as that has proven. So far in the US high tech/
military industrial arena we do see extensive black listing
though, and not so subtle screens in place to preempt any
'problems'.
an example... I accepted a contract at the Hanford nuclear
reservation..long story... it ended up before congress
Westinghouse lost their 5 billion dollar a year contract as a
result.... the initial screening tactic was to walk me
through a facility with glaring high level radioactive
contamination leaks. (thats different than mere radiation
leaks, thats spun by the DOE and was the point of my
testimony)... holes as big as eggs in HEPA filters etc...
pressurization systems for entire buildings non functional
(carefully doing a shut down test for me... with me observing
the gages and disconnected alarm systems as the zone
pressurization failed) etc.... then waiting for my comment.
That was the test.
If I had chosen to say nothing or discuss the weather I would
have passed the test.... any faintest remark or hint that this
is the sort of thing that ends badly, contaminates and kills
people insures that one is black listed from the *entire
industry... (tracked by Wackenhut security, also contracted to
run dozens of private prisons in the US for civilian
prisoners..on the record. none of that is a secret, nor is the
fraud involved).
(The same technique was used to massacre hundreds of
thousands of people in Indonesia and East Timor.[reference
given])....In 1980...[the US said] 'We see no fundamental
incompatibility of
interests between the United States and Iraq [reference
given].'"
I remember those days, as the evening news glorified the
Ba'ath party...same with the Taliban 20 years ago in
Afganistan. all CIA operations... and its a matter of long
standing well documented public record. Yet 99% the glorious
US citizenry seems completely unaware of any of that.
page 55: "In South Africa, after three hundred years of
brutal domination of the black majority by a white minority
through colonialism and apartheid, a
nonracial, multi-party democracy came to power in 1994. It
was a phenomenal acheivement. Within two years of coming to
power, the African National Congress had genuflected with no
caveats to the Market God. Its massive program of structural
adjustment, privatization, and liberalization has only
increased the hideous disparities between the
rich and the poor. Official unemployment among blacks has
increased from forty percent to fifty percent since the end
of Apartheid [reference
given]. The corporatization of basic services-- electricity,
water, and housing-- has meant that ten million South
Africans, almost a quarter of
the population, have been disconnected from water and
electricity [reference given]."
Now how does propaganda work?
page 57:
"...Clear Channel Communications is the largest radio
station owner in the country. It runs more than twelve
hundred channels, which together
account for nine percent fo the market [reference given].
When hundreds of thousands of American citizens took to the
streets to protest against
the war on Iraq, Clear Channel orgaized pro-war patriotic
"Rallies for America" across the country [reference given].
It used its radio stations to advertise the events and then
sent correspondents to cover them as though they were
breaking news."
It should be noted that consolidation in the broadcast radio
and TV business continues, today. Same for the book
publishing business. Soon, only a few entities will control
all media.
It is fortunate that in a high tech world that those behind
the scenes are dependent on people with brains to keep it
going...and that there are so many vectors on which to
communicate.
We see now people with rocks, sling shots and guts defeating
the most high tech, ruthless, well funded army on earth.
This is a repeating theme in world history, the powerful
become ruthless, that ruthlessness seeds its own
destruction... the scum never learns.
Each generation seems to seed its own band of murderous
idiots.
page 71:
This deals with Hindu nationalism. Many passages in the book
talk about this with parallels with the development of Nazi
power in Germany in the
1930s.
"On August 15, 2003, Independence Day he [Cheif Minister of
Gujarat, Narendra Modi] hoisted the Indian flag before
thousands of cheering people. In a gesture of menacing
symbolism, he wore the black RSS cap--which proclaims him as
a member of the Hindu nationalist guild that has not been
shy of admiring Hitler and his methods [reference
given]."
"One hundred and thirty million Muslims--not to mention the
other minorities, Dalits, Christians, Sikhs, Adivasis--live
in India under the shaddow of Hindu nationalism."
page 85:
Additional text documenting thousands of people killed and
hundreds of thousands of people displaced by Indian police.
page 91:
"Gandhi's Salt March was not just political theater. When,
in a simple act of defiance, thousands of Indians marched to
the sea and made their own salt, they broke the salt tax
laws."
page 97:
"The U.S. government used the lies and disinformation
generated around the September 11 attacks to invade no just
one country, but two.... The Indian government uses the same
strategy not with other countries, but against its own
people. Over the last decade the number of people who have
been killed by the police and security forces runs into the
thousands. Recently several Bombay policemen spoke openly to
the press about how many 'gangsters' they had eliminated on
'orders' from their senior officers [reference given].
Andhra Pradesh chalks up an average of about two hundred
'extremists' in 'encounter' deaths a year [reference given].
In Kashmir in a situation that almost amounts to war, an
estimated eighty
thousand people have been killed since 1989. Thousands have
simply 'disappeared' [reference given]. According to the
records of the
Association of Parents of Disappeared People (APDP), more
than three thousand people were killed in 2003, of which
four hundred and sixty-
three were soldiers [reference given]."
The text goes on to say things are getting worse.
page 102:
"Fourty-seven percent of India's children below three suffer
from malnutrition, forty-six percent are stunted [reference
given]."
page 103:
"Today, an average rural family eats about one hundred
killograms [about 220 lbs.] less food in a year than it did
in the early 1990s [refernce
given]."
"But in urban India, wherever you go--shops, restaurants,
railway stations, airports...--you have TV monitors in which
election promises have already come true. India's Shining,
Feeling Good."
page 104:
The thing that is happening is that much infrastructure (eg.
water supplies, electricity, transport, telecommunications,
health services,
education, etc, that the government was "supposed to hold in
trust for the people it represents, assets that have been
built and maintained with
public money over decades--are sold by the state to private
corporations." Guess where that leads?
This explains the special interests in offshoring work to
india. It will not be the indians that benefit, it will be
those fronted by our CIA it seems... here and abroad.
This scum will decimate the nation but doesnt care, because it
is transnational..with no scrupples.
..
The book ends with a short glossary of terms, names, etc.,
that define or explain political parties, important people,
important historical
events, and a long list of information sources (21 pages),
and an index.
If you want to see how globalization is affecting the
so-called "developing countries" this is one good book to
start with.

Isn't that taxpayer fundedThat aside, is competing a criminal offence?
All depends on whether it is fair or not.
Regardless, you should be
able to eleminate student visas as well as any and every
visa issued by
your govt.
I am not against student visas.
Student visas are not taxpayer funded. Student tuition, if
it is granted at the same rate as resident and not
non-resident tuition, would be taxpayer funded.
and don't you consider foreign students
parasites?
Why should I consider foreign students parasites? The
parasites are the CEOs. The foreigners that come here just
to get on our welfare systems are the parasites.
Why don't you want to do away with their visas if you think
that they are taking away something from you?
I'm not interested in this issue. I am interested in
parasite corporations that make big mistakes about taking
jobs from the US and giving them to India.
Its only te gatecrashers that cannot be denied a visalike the idiots who crossed over from across the atlantic
coz
they don't apply for one.
If the gatecrashers are illegal aliens, then they are
illegal.
300 yrs back
to rob the native american tribes of their land?
Like the idiot high caste Indians that force 1/4 of Indians
to be Dalits 3000 years ago, and the high caste Indians that
think their high caste priviledges should stay with them and
not go to "other backwards castes" and Dalits, and have
child slavery in India, today, in the rug factories. And,
the wife burns in flames when the husband dies.
And, about that event 300 years ago...when are you going to
acknoweledge that for 3000+ years there were a lot of wars
all over the world where an invader robbed the invaded land?
When are you going to face up to the historical fact that
all this is not special to the USA?

Kamal suffers from the common human condition known as the 3
dendron arm brain structure... each neuron with one input and
two outputs, is not able to fathom other than black and white
dichotomies... leaving the person vulnerable to manipulation
by those operating in the grey zones.
Kamal will not be getting a clue...his hard wiring precludes
that.
Note to Kamal, if you wish to transcend this limitation, first
assume that everything you know is in complete and total
error, even what obviously is not in error...assume that it
is..and discard all of the attached mind sets..
further assume that everyone else in the world, including
drunken vagrants are 100% right and omnicient at all times..
then discard any notions you have about these... in other
words eliminate your accumulated sets of notions.
In that way, the brain is allowed to rewire based on what is
observed without prejudice... you will find that will enable
you to look beyond the current outsourcing issues to the
larger scene behind it....that mess is not rosy for any
sentient being,
Phil Scott
