After repeating government assurances like brain dead parrots for the last year the freeloading, Congress following press have woken up to the reality of inflation. For months the criminal politicians have been treating us like idiots with platitudes while continuing to increase prices by increasing taxes on everything. They have been blaming last year's drought and promising that the rate of inflation will fall to around 5% by December. That is because prices were rising by over 10% last year so the rate will decrease because of base effect. Prices are not going to fall but continue to rise at a lesser pace. The Reserve Bank, RBI should have increased interest rates aggressively but has not been allowed to because the liars are terrified of a decline in the rate of growth which will mean less in tax collections. The RBI is unable to control money supply because it does not know what the GDP is because of black money. Some estimate that the black economy is 50% of GDP but it could be 60, 70 or even 90%. No one knows. The only way to judge if money supply is coming under control is to monitor property prices. If property prices come down by about 70% compared to present values then we can be sure that the RBI is getting the economy under control. That will severely reduce taxes from the property market The criminals are desperate because the government is bankrupt.The combined external and internal debt of the government is Rs. 34 trillion While total tax collection is Rs. 7.34 trillion. Interest on debt is in trillions so the government borrows more to keep running. Is their any way to prevent a crash? If only we had a truthful honorable press instead of the Congress dogs we have now.

As everyone knows Congress hearts bleed for the aam aadmi especially at taxpayers' expense. To win last year's elections the previous Congress led government forgave loans given by banks to farmers. The present finance minister is encouraging banks to increase lending to farmers and charge lower interest rates at 5%. In 2009-10 banks have lent a whopping Rs. 3.67 trillion to farmers as agricultural loans. We wait to see if farmers accumulate huge loans and then wait for the next elections to be forgiven once more. To give more taxpayer money to farmers the government has a minimum support price at which it buys wheat from farmers which results in high food prices for everyone. So to help the poor, because their hearts are still bleeding, the government distributes cheap grains to the poor under the Public Distribution System. Which means vast quantities of grains are stolen to be sold in the open market and 90% of kerosene is stolen to adulterate diesel. Of course there is not enough storage space for all the wheat collected so 61000 tonnes of wheat had rotted in granaries. 136000 tonnes from 2008-9 and 2738 thousand tonnes collected in 2009-10 have already been stored for over one year, the maximum period allowed for such storage. Millions of tonnes of wheat are lying in the open in Punjab and Haryana under tarpaulins. With monsoon rains having started in earnest most of this will probably rot as well. Meanwhile this Congress led government is increasing taxes on everything imaginable. Criminal politicians are the biggest enemies faced by Indians. We desperately need Citizens Corporations to protect us.

There is much debate in the US about the new anti immigration laws that will come into effect in Arizona today. The governor of Arizona has been called racist and Mexico has expressed unhappiness since most illegal immigrants are from Mexico. It is very difficult to understand this debate. Every person in the world has the right to decide who to invite into his home and ask the police to help evict an uninvited intruder. Hence every country should surely have the right to decide who they want as immigrants. Immigrants cause a lot of problems. Illegal Bangladeshis are changing the demography of parts of India giving rise to tension. Also Bangladeshis are easy recruits for Pakistan based terrorist groups and have been implicated in several incidents of bombing. Pakistanis in the UK have been similarly implicated. North Africans have rioted in Paris destroying property. Lebanese caused riots in Australia. Many Indians have died of suffocation when people smugglers packed them into containers without ventilation. Illegal immigration is a direct result of uncontrolled breeding in third world countries, especially of poor people who are unable to look after and educate their children. Rising numbers of poor people in Latin America not only results in illegal immigration into the US but also violent crime in the countries themselves. Thus drug gangs in Mexico have been killing thousands, including police and soldiers, across the country with the government looking on as helpless spectator. All the governments of the world must join hands in fighting the scourge of population growth and cut off immigration totally from any country which fails to comply. Else the planet is doomed.

In a confirmation of its slave status present and past British and Scottish ministers have been invited to give testimony to a US Senate committee looking into the premature release, on humanitarian grounds, of the alleged Lockerbie bomber Al Basit Al Magrahi. Would the British parliament dare to ' invite ' US administration officials to be questioned about anything? The oil company BP is being driven to bankruptcy by the US government for the oil spill? Would the British be able to do the same to, say, Exxon Mobil? How a tiny country like Great Britain managed to build a huge empire right across the world is a tribute to the courage, cunning and ruthlessness of the ancestors of the present population. However, Britain is now a small tiny third grade country trying to punch above its weight in the world and that will probably be its destruction. It has tied itself to the US supporting whatever crime the US commits thereby trying to gain respect much like a low ranking goon gets respect by obeying the godfather. Britain is committing more than $ 20 billion to a new generation of Trident missiles although it has no real enemies. It has Scandinavian countries to the east, Germany and France to the south, Ireland and the Atlantic to the west and Iceland far to the north. It is so inconsequential that no one, Russia or China or Iran, would think of wasting a missile on it. The only reason for wasting money on the Trident, while cutting pensions and child benefit, is to cling on to its seat on the Security Council. The Prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron is in India. While being gracious hosts we must not give him too much lift. Unfortunately our lot is used to bowing and scraping.

In the past few days WikiLeaks has published over 90000 secret documents regarding the war in Afghanistan conveniently covering the years from 2002 to 2009 when Bush was in charge. Bush is widely regarded to be intellectually challenged while Mr. Obama is reckoned to be very intelligent. It seems a tad surprising that so many secret Pentagon documents regarding an ongoing war can be so easily revealed without a huge hue and cry when we just seen the farce surrounding the so called Russian spies. Disinformation has always been a legitimate instrument in wars and Obama is fighting on many fronts. There are the midterm polls in November widely believed to be for the Republicans to win. There is the commitment to get out of Afghanistan starting next year. There is Iran which is racing ahead with its program to build nuclear weapons. Although 90000 seems to be an awfully large number it must be only a fraction of reports generated over 8 years. So have these documents been selectively ' leaked ' and if so why? To put pressure on the Republicans by showing that it was George Bush who lost the war against the Taliban? To prepare the ground for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan? To prepare for a strike on Iran? How they are going to react against the ISI and Pakistan, who are clearly implicated in supplying arms and training to the Taliban, is unclear. Only a few days back Hillary Clinton was in that country promising more aid. Possibly Obama has marginalised her and the State Department and is playing a deep game. However, he must remember that these are mad dogs and you can never predict what they will do. Is he being too clever?

Amit Shah, who resigned from his post as a minister in the BJP government in Gujarat, was arrested yesterday for the killing of one Sohrabuddin by the police in an allegedly fake encounter. Apart from the fact that he is Hindu while the dead man was from the so called ' Minority ' community it is difficult to understand why the Congress is so keen to go after him. When Sukhram is free, Sajjan Kumar is enjoying life, Manu Sharma got parole to attend nightclubs and Andersen was escorted out of the country as a VIP why is the Congress so keen on the death of one man. This is the same Congress that goes to Pakistan ' on bended knees ' and is sent back with a sandal across the face just 18 months after the Mumbai massacre. The truth is in the Congress admission that now they will go for Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat. As the most successful syndicate in the world the Congress hates Modi because he is relatively honest and has engineered a remarkable economic growth in Gujarat while next door Maharashtra is bankrupt and farmers keep committing suicide and the central government is seen to be protecting thieves and dross. But why is the BJP not defending one of its own more vigorously? It is because the states controlled by the BJP are equally corrupt and Modi is proving to be an embarrassment. When Gen Khanduri demanded strict honesty in Uttarakhand property dealers, contractors and civil servants revolted so BJP asked him to step down. Modi, on the other hand, has a very strong base in Gujarat and cannot be shifted easily. All politicians in the world are corrupt but have some sharam and izzat. Not the ones in India.

After a two year investigation The Washington Post has published a series of articles under the heading of ' Top Secret America.' In this they have exposed how the intelligence services in the US have expanded by more than 60% since 9/11 so that it has become too huge to be effective. A lot of intelligence work is outsourced to private companies who are making vast amounts of money. There are 1271 government agencies and 1931 private companies in 10000 locations across the US employing 854000 people of which 265000 are contractors. This behemoth generates so much intelligence that analysts filed 50000 reports last year which, naturally, no one had time to read. This is why they failed to pick up Al Mutallab, the underwear bomber, even though intelligence coming out of Yemen indicated that a man was being trained for a suicide attack and his own father reported the strange behavior of his son and his fears that his son had turned into a terrorist. Criminal Indian politicians and useless civil servants will be delighted with this report. Now they can claim that if the mighty US can be so sloppy how can we expect any better from our lot. Of course they missed out on Kargil and Mumbai and Best Bakery and Headley and Naxals and Bangladeshis and on and on but, hey, the US missed Al Mutallab and Hassan. Also we have over a billion people with millions of Bangladeshis flooding in everyday so who cares if a few hundred or a few thousand or a few million die. Just as over 60 people died in the Sinthia train accident while the Railways Minister was playing in Bengal. Shit happens. In India it happens everyday.

Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has broken off diplomatic relations with Columbia giving the Columbian ambassador just 72 hours to get out of Caracas. The reason? Columbia produced evidence of Venezuela sheltering left wing Farc guerrillas on its territory and giving them material help. Chavez has forcibly taken over 20% of the opposition television station and has appointed a director on its board because he does not want the people to know of his extremely corrupt misrule. Abhisit Vejjajiva, who was never elected Prime Minister of Thailand, ordered the army to shoot Red Shirt protesters to death. Educated in Eton and Oxford you can see the utter lack of comprehension on his face when asked about grievances of the poor people. He is suffering from the ' let them eat cake ' disease and thinks mass murder is justified maybe because, being extremely wealthy, he has come to believe that the poor are disposable. North Korea is threatening to use nuclear weapons against joint exercises by US and South Korean forces. This demented regime is clinging on to power despite its population slowly dying of malnutrition. It is hard to imagine the suffering of people as they watch their children crying of hunger and slowly dying without food. Some try to escape to China and thence to the south but most are trapped. In Greece, Spain, Ireland, Iceland governments presided of huge asset bubbles fueled by easy debt and are now asking the people to bear the consequences. No matter what the political system those in power seem able to do whatever they like. We, the people do not matter.

Racketeering, prostitution, drug smuggling, money laundering, gambling syndicates, teenage gangs are crimes that other countries fight against. All this is child's play compared to the political gangs in India who control all criminal activities and the police as well. Qadir Rana, a MP of BSP party, is a director of Rana Steels which was found to be stealing power during a raid in Muzzafarnagar. Not surprisingly BSP has strongly denied this. Abdul Qayyum Sahikh who was deported from Dubai for the murder of Gulshan Kumar walked free because of lack of evidence. Avinash Bhosale, a builder based in Pune, was allowed to buy a 12 acre government owned plot in Navi Mumbai for just Rs. 10 million and sold off half the property half the property after a month for Rs. 2.75 billion. Wildlife activist, Amit Jethwa was shot dead outside Gujarat High Court couple of days ago. His dad has openly blamed BJP MP, Dinu Solanki because Jethwa was investigating his illegal mining activities. The Supreme Court says that 99% of private and government colleges do not have adequate infrastructure. ' They are just like shops fleecing money from the students and not bothering about their future.' Needless to say politicians control government colleges and many are owners of private ones. Railway Minister, Mamata Bannerjee, was electioneering in Kolkata while cremations of more than 60 people killed in the Sinthia train accidents were starting. She has alleged opponents of engineering the accident to win the coming state assembly elections. These are just today's news. Forget Enron, Cosa Nostra, Columbian drugs gangs. Politicians in India are the KINGS of crime in the whole world. And they control the police.

Two members of the disgraced French football team, Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema, are being investigated for having paid sex with a 17 year old girl in April 2009. In France paying a girl under the age of 18 years for sex is considered as having sex with a minor. The girl denies being a prostitute but admits to having been paid for providing sex. Apparently Ribery invited her to Munich on his 26th birthday. Ribery's lawyer claims that she had told them that she was twenty years old. Today's teenagers look bigger and more mature than, say, twenty years ago and no one asks a prostitute for a birth certificate anyway so there might be something in Ribery's defence. Whatever be the truth of the matter it is shocking that child had taken to prostitution. If she is a minor according to French law then who was responsible for her? Why was she not protected by her parents? How could she travel unaccompanied out of the country even though there is no border restriction between France and Germany under the Schengen rules? In the developing world children are abducted or sold into prostitution by destitute parents. Western pedophiles come to Asia for sex tourism and the internet is said to be full of children being sexually assaulted. However even in the so called advanced countries children are not safe. Television commercials, the glorification of sex in the news media and the laxity of parental control are leading to a loss of childhood which is a crime against children. The joy of childhood is in its innocence. By taking the most joyful time of life away from our children we may be responsible for all the crime and violence that we face.

Couple of days back an express train travelling at over 90 kmph hit the back of another standing at Sainthia station in West Bengal with such force that one of the carriages was catapulted on to an overhead walkway. More than 60 people died. The runaway train had made a perfect if unscheduled stop at the previous station only some 8 km before. The experienced driver and his assistant were found dead sitting in their respective positions and had made no attempt to slow the train down or apply brakes. The train is said to have been going at 90 kmph on a 30 kmph stretch and had jumped several red signals. One theory is that both drivers had been drugged at at the previous station, the throttle had been opened fully and the assailants jumped out as the train started to gather momentum. Criminals would not carry out such an act of wanton destruction with no gain. Naxals usually blow up tracks leading to derailment. The railway minister hints at political sabotage. So could politicians carry out mass murder to win the state elections? The frightening fact is that it is entirely possible. Indian politicians exceed the mafia, drug cartels and corrupt businessmen in criminality. Winning an election, even at state level, gives control of trillions of rupees and the power to use it for personal pleasure. Whereas all other criminals are viewed as enemies of society and have to stay in fear of the police politicians actually control the police and hence are completely above the law as case after case has proved. Even if one is caught redhanded it takes years for the case to get to court and by the time the case is heard evidence has disappeared, witnesses have been threatened into silence and investigators have been transferred or have retired. Sajjan Kumar, Pappu Yadav, Reddy brothers, different gangs but brothers in crime. The entire Indian state is a criminal enterprise. Incredible India.

Another decade of Congress terror and their will be no Hindu left in India. In a case called the Malegaon blasts case Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Lt Col Prasad Purohit and seven others have been charged under something called MCOCA which are draconian laws under which only Hindus are charged for so called ' terrorism ' against so called ' Minorities.' No matter that the said Minorities are breeding like rats and are probably equal or more in number. No matter that holy places like Haridwar and Rishikesh are being flooded by Minorities who are buying up expensive properties and by Bangladeshis pouring in in their hundreds of thousands. Hindus are to be denied bail but the Best Bakery accused walks free because he is a Minority. Perhaps the most terror attacks against Indians is by the state. Rathore used the police force, paid for by the taxpayers for their own protection, to hound a teenage girl, that he had molested, to suicide. He has been sentenced to a derisory 18 months in jail but is still fighting.Manu Sharma, who murdered Jessica Lal for a drink, was allowed out on parole to enjoy in nightclubs. Sukhram is still out on bail 25 years after being caught redhanded with stolen money. Billions of rupees were spent by the CBI for enjoyable trips abroad but Quattrochi remains free. Andersen was escorted out of the country like a VIP after the biggest mass murder this country has seen. Pappu Yadav is absconding after being granted bail. Known criminals are given tickets to stand for parliament because they have the money and gang power to win. When in the middle east I was repeatedly told by Arabs that India will become a Muslim country by 2030. With Congress help it will surely come to pass.

Talk to anyone living in Delhi and they will moan about the endless torture they have been enduring in the name of the useless Commonwealth Games. Those who can aford it are making plans to leave the city during the entire period of the games while taxi and auto drivers say they will not go anywhere near the stadiums. The strange thing is that no one protests. In any other country there would have been street protests against the callous way in which roads have been dug up and the savage increase in taxes. But not here. For centuries the people of Delhi have been complicit in crimes committed against the country. Any warlord that invaded India, from Tughlak to Babar to the British based their capitals in Delhi because they found a population willing to help in the subjugation of the rest of India for a share of the spoils. In all the countries that I have visited, including the barbaric middle east, I have never seen a people so ready to tell lies and to indulge in criminal activities to make money. In other countries young people are rebels willing to challenge the authorities for ideals. Not here. Here the college going boys and girls are shallow and mindless. Their days are spent in hanging around in coffee shops or shopping malls engaged in useless banter or chatting on brain destroying cell phones. Flush with cash which come from the black money earned by their parents they think nothing of buying a pair of jeans for a few thousand rupees only because some stupid actress wears the same brand. They neither know nor think nor care about the country, its people or the destruction being wrought by criminal politicians and thieving civil servants. After all their parents are of the same ilk and their spending money comes from loot. Thus Delhi has been and still is the city of betrayal.

The taxi driver was of the opinion that they will never finish on time. He meant all the infrastructure work going on in Delhi for the most useless Commonwealth Games to be held in two months time. Already some leading athletes, such Usain Bolt, have said they will not be competing. Others will cancel if there is the slightest terrorist attack anywhere in India just before the games. Meanwhile the same work has been done more than once and yet the results look shoddy. Roads have been laid and relaid and still they are wavy. The dividers look crooked. Perfectly straight lampposts were uprooted and new ones erected leaning drunkenly to one side. Everything is decided on whim. Now suddenly it has been decided that overhead electric cables should be buried underground. Hugely crowded shopping areas like Karol Bagh and Connaught Place have been dug up resulting in total traffic chaos. Shopkeepers are making huge losses as customers stay away. Taxpayers money is being wasted on an unprecedented scale as taxes are being raised on everything from petrol to beer. So where is all this money going? Obviously criminal politicians, thieving civil servants and their friendly contractors have made tens of billions in cash. What is the evidence that these bandits are looting like never before? It is in the 600% rise in prices of property since 2002. In India half the price of any property is paid in cash and this the best hiding place for criminal loot. Once the useless games are over roads will develop potholes, car parks will break and eletric cables will probably be dug up again. What about the people of Delhi who will have suffered endless inconveniences and loss of money? They can go to hell. After all Delhi also has a Congress government.

Why does the Congress want to destroy India? Time after time they have betrayed the people and the brave soldiers of India by converting victories against Pakistan into total surrender. Starting with Nehru who would not give General Cariappa 24 hours to rid Kashmir of infiltrators to Lal Bahadur Shastri and Tashkent to Indira Gandhi and Shimla talks to Rajiv Gandhi who would not allow refuelling for Israeli jets to strike Pakistan's nuclear reactors. Now the government has been hit across the face with a filthy Pakistani chappal when the Foreign Minister was insulted and taunted by Paki Foreign Minister. Following this humiliation a unnamed source has said that India did not have the ' luxury of not talking to its neighbours.' Sorry, but you do not talk to rabid dogs. You just shoot the bastards. Since first of January this year a Congress licking newspaper has been running full page ads called ' Aman ki Asha ' in which it was advocating building up loving relationships with Pakistanis with a view to a full relationship with the government. This lying rag was glowing in its list of benefits to India. Was it building up to a sell out of the country by the Congress as in the past? Thank God the Pakis are rabid dogs frothing with hatred and they have sent the Forign Minister packing with a kick on a soft spot. This just a year after the attacks on Mumbai. You do not get peace by being craven foot licking cowards and by betraying the brave soldiers who have sacrificed their lives time after time. You get peace by killing ten dogs for everyone Indian killed. You get peace when they respect and fear you. It is not our enemies who are the greatest threat to this country. It is our criminal politicians and the thieving civil servants.

Coming to Delhi by train I see this woman lying on the filthy floor of the station concourse. She did not look like a beggar woman but like someone waiting for a late train. Naturally she was dirty. By her side in the dirt lay five dirty children, obviously comfortable with their mother. The government has decided to bring in a law that will make it a criminal offence for parents to hit their children. Children will be allowed to take their parents to court for cruelty as in the US. For a first offence the punishment will be a fine of Rs. 5000 and prison for one year and for a second offence a fine of Rs. 25000 and prison for up to 3 years. Very laudable. Sadly India is the world leader in crimes against children. It is a crime to give birth to children when you cannot give them quality food, clothing and shelter. It is a crime not to give them quality education. It is a crime to send little children out to work to enjoy their income. It is a crime to abort girls fetuses. It is a crime to sell daughters to pimps for some extra money. It is a crime to marry off girls as little as five years old. It is a crime to deny medical care to children in pain because of reluctance to spend drink money. All these crimes and more against children are happening every minute in India quite openly but the criminal politicians choose to ignore them because they want legions of illiterate undernourished humanoids who will vote for them for cheap rice or a cheap sari at taxpayers' expense. Cruelty to vulnerable innocent children in any form is abhorrent so it must be wiped out. To do that we have to give children the very basic right NOT to be born. Sadly this bill is intended to punish only the middle class because the Congress hates and fears the educated middle class. That is why it has launched a campaign of punitive taxes and vindictive laws to take us back to 1950-1990 when the Congress controlled every aspect of daily life. Keep the people poor and illiterate and they will bow to the ground for a kilo of rotting rice. The Congress desperately wants such control.

Seems that senior BJP leader Mr. LK Advani met the most revered Finance Minister, Mr. Mukherjee last week and wanted the Congress to introduce a bill mandating fixed terms for the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. He offered full support of the opposition if such a bill is introduced. This is terrifying. If both government and opposition gangs of politicians are united behind such a proposition then it has to be suicidal for the country. If you have different gangs wanting power so that they are free to loot the people then you expect them to be fighting each other like street dogs in a garbage dump. If they are suddenly getting all lovey dovey and cooperative then that has to be the worst news any Indian wants to hear. As an Indian citizen I would like my opinion to be taken into account. 1. There should be a referendum on the subject and people like us should be allowed to address the public. 2. If there is to be fixed terms so that a bunch of scoundrels is entrenched for a number of years then there should be fixed terms for all elected criminals. This will mean that anyone can be an MP or an MLA for only two terms and no more. 3. We must have citizens corporations without any criminal politician or thieving civil servant to protect the interest of the people. 4. At every elections there will be a question on the performance of the previous government and if the people give poor marks the previous politicians will be forced to return every paisa spent on his or her expense. 5. We must have a district attorney system to investigate crimes properly. Police and CBI must be independent. Will words stop the criminals? Who knows?

After the great Russian spy swap farce we now have a real puzzle. Fellow called Shahram Amiri who was a researcher at Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation went missing in June 2009 while on a pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. Now a fellow of the same name has surfaced in the Pakistani Embassy in the US claiming to have been kidnapped and wanting to go home. The US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has said that he had been visiting the US voluntarily and is free to go back to Iran. In between there have been videos showing Amiri lookalikes claiming that he had been kidnapped by US agents and tortured, that he was studying in the US of his own accord and a third one in which claims to have escaped US custody and was in hiding. News reports claim that he has given extensive information about Iran's nuclear program. Many interesting theories come to mind. 1. It may be that he was indeed kidnapped and given a taste of water boarding. 2. He may have defected to the US and then has been forced to change his mind to protect his family. As Iranian he will be acutely aware of what the regime does to its opponents. This very Islamic Republic condemns women to death by stoning for adultery on very flimsy evidence and Ahmadinejad denied there is homosexuality in Iran but uses rape, both straight and homosexual, for punishing opponents. So Amiri might be wanting to return to save his family. 3. It is also possible that he was sent by Iran to feed wrong information to the Americans like Ahmed Chalabi did to get the US to kill Saddam Hussein who was feared and hated by Iran. Perhaps whether he lives or dies in Iran may give us a clue.
