&lt;span style="font-size:19px;font-family:Arial;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:19px;font-family:Arial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"&gt; महाराष्ट्र में 27 जिला परिषदों व 305 पंचायत समितियों के नए प्रतिनिधियों के चुनाव के लिए मंगलवार कड़ी सुरक्षा व्यवस्था के बीच मतदान हो गया। मतदान शांतिपूर्ण तरीके से चल रहा है। गांवों व अर्ध-ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में रहने वाली करीब एक-चौथाई आबादी नए प्रतिनिधियों का चुनाव करेगी। सुबह 7.30 बजे मतदान की प्रक्रिया शुरू हो गई। वैसे राज्य के ज्यादातर हिस्सों में सर्द हवाएं बहने के कारण मतदान केंद्र सूने नजर आए।&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:19px;font-family:Arial;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size:19px;font-family:Arial;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:19px;font-family:Arial;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"&gt;गुरुवार की सुबह नागपुर में एक मतदान केंद्र पर इलेक्ट्रॉनिक वोटिंग मशीन में गड़बड़ी की शिकायत मिलने के बाद वहां मतदान रोक दिया गया। मुंबई में मतदान बिना किसी व्यवधान के हो सके इसके लिए पुलिस ने सुरक्षा के कड़े इंतजाम किए। महानगर के सभी मतदान केंद्रों पर 2,375 पुलिस अधिकारी और 20,000 पुलिसकर्मी तैनात थे।&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;outline-width:0px;outline-style:initial;outline-color:initial;font-family:Verdana"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;

'मोचोपाट' में एक जानकार व्यक्ति लोगों के बीच बैठ कर रामायण के अंश सुनाता है, और फिर श्रोतागणों में उस पर बहस होती है. कभी-कभी यह आयोजन दिन भर चलता है. मकसद होता है, परिवार में जो नया सदस्य जनमा है, वह रामायण के अग्रणी पात्रों की तरह बने. आठवीं-नवीं सदी में इण्डोनेशिया में पहुंची रामायण कथा जावानीज भाषा में लिखी गयी थी. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;

कहने के माध्यम से इसी ने फासीवाद के खिलाफ लड़ाई की शुरुआत की. सत्तर के दशक में सैनिक तानाशाही के खिलाफ इसके विद्रोह ने दक्षिण यूरोप और लातिनी अमेरिका में ऐसे ही उत्पीड़न के शिकार देशों की जनता को अनुप्राणित किया. ऐसी स्थिति में यह आश्चर्यजनक नहीं होगा अगर वह फिर से एक नए परिवर्तन का बिगुल फूंके.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Jefferson , Washington , and Madison was among other Founding Fathers who understood how the Zionist controlled Bank of England is ruining the lives of the common people. Zionist attempts to control Banking in 17&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; &amp;amp; 18&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century were defeated by successive US Presidents. In 1835 President Andrew Jackson foiled Rothschild's second attempt to control US Banking. Rothschilds even made an attempt to get him assassinated besides pumping lot of money to his opponent in the election to defeat him in his re-election. Still Jackson got re-elected. But unfortunately after 78 years a traitor in 1913 President Woodrow Wilson gave the control of US banking in the form of Federal Reserve to private Zionist Bankers. Zionist Bankers pumped millions to defeat an incumbent very popular President Taft who has refused to toe the lines of the Zionist. These bankers financed the election of Wilson and brought in Ex President Roosevelt as third candidate also just to ensure the defeat of Taft.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;US complete political &lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;s&lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;lavery to Zionist foundations in real sense were laid by Zionist slave Bill Clinton with 64 Zionist in key post; Secretary of State, Defense, National Security, Treasury, Education, Economic Council, Health, Intelligence Agencies, Federal Reserve Bank, Agriculture, Trade to re-Christian America as United States of Israel.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;With the names like Madeleine Albright (Sec of State), Cohen (Sec of Defense), Tenet (CIA Chief), Berger (Head National Security Council), Rubin (Sec of the Treasury), Greenspan (Federal Reserve Chairman), Sperling (National Economic Council) appears in the list of 64 that does not include lower level appointments.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Clinton contributed towards a real change in Administration&amp;#39;s outlook, having concluded a series of changes in enhancing Zionist political &lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;power that started during President Nixon's Zionist Secretary of State Kissinger, few Zionist Cabinet members under Carter and again a Zionist Sec of Defense Schultz and few Z cabinet members under President Reagan.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;It was Kissinger who opened the first US consultancy company in China to teach them how to do business with US. Kissinger also opened a market for Zionist who have been stealing US military technology and industrial &lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;secrets for sale to China . To day Chinese have become so powerful witho&lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;ut spending even a single penny in Research &amp;amp; Development &lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;thanks to Zionist. It is also an open secret that it was Zionist who gave Nuclear Bomb technology to then apartheid state of South Africa.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;After Clinton a George &lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;Buffoon&lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt; (&lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;Bush)&lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt; was Zionist appointed ruler for 8 years to preside over the biggest transition in American history; from prosperity to poverty with unnecessary occupation of Iraq &amp;amp; Afghanistan and subsequent Zionist engineered economic melt down around the world. Zionist and their allies stole more than $8 trillion from world economy out of that $4 tril was from America alone.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;After Buffoon; Obama elected with Zionist money to stay in their good books broke Zionist convert Clinton's record with over 80 Z in key post of his administration.

Even when they want powerful positions in Senate or House Committees they have to request Zionist for that. The Congressional Quarterly reported in 2009 that a 2005 National Security Agency wiretap caught Z Congresswoman Jane Harman assuring an Israeli agent that &amp;quot;she would lobby the Justice Department to reduce espionage-related charges against two former officials of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)&amp;quot;. In return Jane Harman wanted AIPAC to lobby for her to become chairwoman of the House Intelligence Committee. Recently she resigned from the House to become P&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;resident of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;Woodrow&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;Wilson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;International&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;Center&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; for Scholars.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Everyone knows that AIPAC will TAKE out any sitting Congress member or Senator if they DARE speak out against Israel and its apartheid state. AIPAC chooses all US elected officials icluding the President of America. If some one does not tow the Israelie line when running for office, AIPAC will give financial support to the candidate who will. AIPAC a foreign entity can give any campaign contributions to any US candidate for office. What if China or Russia, or Pakistan started delivering billions to candidates of their choice? America has lost its DEMOCRACY to foreign entities rather to the terrorist and appartheid state of Israel and Zionist.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;Out of the $3.8Tril US annual budget $1.6&lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;T is being spent to keep the Israeli/Zionist Masters happy on unnecessary wars and illegal occupation of other countries &lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;with more than 700&lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt; Military bases in over &lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;130 countries &lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;around the world so that they can keep their illegal occupation of Palestinian land &amp;amp; continue with their on going human genocide of Palestinians since 1948. Since 2001 US forces are helping Zionist in Afghanistan which produces 95% of the world opium to control the world Drug trade besides their control on world banking, media, human body parts trading and military hardware &amp;amp; technology trading.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image:initial;background-color:white"&gt;Reps and Dems both work exclusively for the top 1%-2% income group that receives 36% of the annual national income and owns 94% of the nation&amp;#39;s assets. The net worth of these top earners is increasing by $17 trillions every 10 years. In last 10 years oil companies alone made over a $1 trillion in profits. US Corporations &lt;span lang="EN"&gt;have managed to achieve prosperity without anyone else having any prosperity by over pricing their services &amp;amp; products as well as without paying taxes on their earnings. The average American's earning has gone down by 35% in real terms in these 10 years because of high taxes, medical &amp;amp; other insurances, high cost of education, utilities, gas, Federal &amp;amp; local business licences, banking and other services etc. provided by US Corporations. The average household net worth is now less than what it was in 1945.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="background-image:initial;background-color:white"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-image:initial;background-color:white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div style="background-image:initial;background-color:white"&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;US Politicians, Judiciary, Media, Religious &amp;amp; Business Leaders are more loyal than dogs to their Israelis/Zionist Masters.

Most Jews are extremely offended and become hostile if you try to separate them from their love of Israel and their Zionist leadership. That&amp;#39;s why I don&amp;#39;t bother anymore. If they come out and say they reject Zionism, that&amp;#39;s fine, but otherwise assume they love Israel and Zionist Leadership. As a culture, they do have many good qualities, including a deep understanding of emotional psychology.&amp;quot;&lt;var&gt;&lt;/var&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Associations today charged the Andhra Pradesh Government with contravening Government of India directives under the Essential Commodities Act by banning inter-State movement of fine varieties of paddy and rice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Addressing a media conference, Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan, President of FIFA and the Lok Satta Party, pointed out that although the Government of India unambiguously stipulated that there shall be no curbs on inter-State movement, the Andhra Pradesh Government has taken law into its own hands by banning sale of paddy and rice outside the State by farmers and tenants. &amp;quot;It is behaving like a street rowdy,&amp;quot; fulminated Dr. JP&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&amp;quot;The farmer in India is facing ruin not because of the vagaries of nature but because of the cruel and unjust policies of State and Central Governments. It is the Government that has become an albatross round the farmer&amp;#39;s neck,&amp;quot; charged Dr. JP.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;The State Government itself had removed the barriers on movement of rice and paddy outside the State a couple of years ago citing heavy losses to farmers because of the steep decline in local prices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Although prices have once again crashed this year against the backdrop of a steep increase in the cost of production, the Andhra Pradesh Government would not permit movement of rice and paddy outside the State.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;FIFA is launching a Dandi-like farmers&amp;#39; satyagraha March on February 18 and 19 to defy the unjust laws and regulations that are dealing a body blow to farmers. Farmers and tenants starting from Yemmiganur in Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh will march to Gilkasugur in Raichur district of Karnataka and effect token sale of paddy in defiance of the Andhra Pradesh Government ban. &amp;quot;Let the Government arrest and prosecute farmers and me,&amp;quot; said Dr. JP who had given notice of FIFA&amp;#39;s action program to the Chief Minister on February 2 itself.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;The State Government is blind and dumb in that refuses to see the farmers&amp;#39; plight or listen to wise counsels, said Dr. JP.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;FIFA would repeat its defiance of unjust laws and regulations by organizing a similar march from Nizamabad in Andhra Pradesh to Nanded in Maharashtra.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt; &lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;It is time farmers all over the country transcending parties and crops they grow joined hands and demanded dismantling of the present license-permit raj. They should fight Governments but not end their lives in despair, he said pointing out that over 2.3 lakh farmers had committed suicide in the last 15 years.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Dr. JP said that farmers do not get even the minimum support price for any produce, leave alone a fair and remunerative price. The Government, which cannot ensure payment of even the MSP, denies the farmer the freedom to market his produce outside the State. In contrast, an industrialist can sell his manufactured products anywhere he wants. On top of it, he gets a subsidy if he chooses to export it outside the country.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;The Government harms the farmers&amp;#39; interest by allowing duty-free import of edible oil even as it regulates farm produce exports. The country witnesses a lot of breast-beating whenever prices of onions and tomatoes go up but not a tear is shed when their prices plummet. The State Government which collects hundreds of crores of rupees on marketing of agricultural produce would not utilize the amount to provide warehouses for farmers to store their produce and get pledge loans.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Referring to the grouse in certain circles over his inclusion in a House committee to go into Government land deals, Dr. JP disclosed he had told the Speaker that he would step down to make way for those who feel they are under-represented. He said he had rejected both the ruling Congress and the Opposition TDP during the no-confidence vote because he regarded both parties as wolves fighting for the right to devour innocent lambs. &amp;quot;They represent the corrupt and failed politics of the past.

size="4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;आनंद कुमार &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;जनसत्ता 16 फरवरी, 2012: भारतीय समाज और राजनीति में जाति को लेकर इधर कुछ दिनों से एक नई चेतना बन रही है। कुछ लोगों का मानना है कि हमारा समाज, खासकर हमारी सरकार और राजनीतिक समुदाय जातिविहीन समाज की रचना के संकल्प को कुचल रहे हैं। वे सब मिल कर तात्कालिक लाभ की दृष्टि से ऐसे उपाय कर रहे हैं, जिनसे जाति वापस आ रही है। दूसरी तरफ, समाज वैज्ञानिकों का बहुत बड़ा समूह स्वीकार कर रहा है कि जाति-व्यवस्था के पारंपरिक ढांचे की, जो छुआछूत, पवित्र-अपवित्र, जजमान-पुरोहित जैसे सांचों से बना था, प्रासंगिकता लगातार घटती जा रही है, क्योंकि अब हम धीरे-धीरे नियमबद्ध संबंधों के जरिए अपने आसपास के संसार को रचने की क्षमता विकसित कर रहे हैं। इसके पीछे जनतंत्र और आधुनिकीकरण का बड़ा योगदान है। लेकिन यह समूह इस बात से इनकार नहीं करता कि जाति का नया अवतार हुआ है, जिसमें सामाजिक और सांस्कृतिक पक्ष की तुलना में राजनीतिक पक्ष प्रासंगिक है। &lt;br&gt; हालांकि अब जाति और हिंदू धर्म का संबंध धर्म के दायरे से ऊपर उठ कर, जाति और सभी धर्मों के बीच के संबंध के रूप में देखा जाने लगा है। दलित ईसाई आंदोलन, मुसलमानों में पसमांदा समाज का आंदोलन, सिखों में मजहबी सिखों का आंदोलन और बौद्धों में नवबौद्धों की समस्याएं जाति की धर्मनिरपेक्ष वास्तविकता को पहचानने का सवाल उठा रही हैं। &lt;br&gt; इधर अस्सी वर्ष बाद सरकार को भी समाज की बनावट समझने के लिए जाति जनगणना की जरूरत महसूस हुई। अगर जाति-व्यवस्था के अलग-अलग रूपों और संदर्भों से जोड़े बिना हम जाति के बारे में चर्चा करेंगे तो कुछ सामान्य और सतही निष्कर्षों तक ही पहुंच सकते हैं, जिसमें दोनों तरह का सच गैरजरूरी बन जाता है- जाति खत्म हो रही है, जाति बढ़ रही है। शुरू से ही जाति-व्यवस्था का ग्रामीण और नगरीय स्वरूप अलग-अलग रहा है। गांव में जाति का पेशे और सामाजिक हैसियत के साथ अभिन्न संबंध रहा है। हर जाति का एक निश्चित पेशा और उस पेशे की एक सामाजिक हैसियत। &lt;br&gt; ग्रामीण समाज में कुछ जातियां संपत्तिवान होने की क्षमता रखती थीं और कई जातियों को इससे लगातार दूर रखा गया। ग्रामीण समाज में धर्म एक होने पर जाति के आधार पर अंतर्गत और बहिष्कृत की दो कोटियां हुआ करती थीं, जो सांस्कृतिक जीवन के नियम-कानून का आधार बनती थीं और जिनके पीछे पवित्रता और अपवित्रता का ढांचा बनाया जाता था। &lt;br&gt; इसके समांतर नगरीय समाज में जाति का स्वरूप व्यवसाय से तो जुड़ा था, लेकिन नगर का औद्योगिक और आधुनिक पक्ष जाति के लिए हमेशा एक चुनौती का स्रोत रहता था। इसलिए यह आकस्मिक नहीं था कि भक्ति आंदोलन के सभी बड़े प्रणेता या तो यायावर थे या नगरों में गैर-खेतिहर पेशों से जुड़े लोग। &lt;br&gt; अंग्रेजी राज आने के बाद जाति में हुए परिवर्तनों को हम जनतांत्रिक भारत में हो रहे परिवर्तनों के संदर्भ में अत्यंत उपयोगी मानते हैं, क्योंकि अंग्रेजी राज में ही पहली बार जाति का क्षेत्रीय सच जनगणनाओं के जरिए एक स्थिर और अलंघ्य व्यवस्था बन गया। जाति जनगणना के हर दशक में जाति की परिभाषा भी लगातार परिवर्तित-परिवर्द्धित होती रही। कई समाजशास्त्रियों की मान्यता है कि जाति का सच औपनिवेशिक भारत में जड़ता की हद तक सामाजिक जीवन के संदर्भ में राज्य-व्यवस्था द्वारा संरक्षित किया गया। यह मान्यता कई समाज सुधारकों के इस सोच से अलग जाती है कि अंग्रेजी राज में जाति का ढांचा कमजोर हुआ, क्योंकि इस दौर में आधुनिक शिक्षा, जाति विरोधी आंदोलनों को प्रश्रय और जाति संबंधी कई निषेधों को गैर-कानूनी ठहराने का काम किया गया। &lt;br&gt; आज जाति की व्याख्या करते समय प्राय: चुनाव के समय हो रही जातिगत गोलबंदी और दलों के बीच विभिन्न जातियों के अंदर अपना वोट बैंक बनाने की होड़ सबसे ज्यादा चर्चा का विषय बनते हैं। लेकिन हमें ध्यान रखना चाहिए कि यह जाति-व्यवस्था में बुनियादी परिवर्तन के कारण संभव हुआ है कि ब्राह्मणों, दलितों और यादवों की गोल एक दूसरे से सीधी कानूनी व्यवस्था के अंतर्गत आधुनिक राज्यतंत्र पर कब्जा करने के लिए होड़ में आ गई हैं। जाति-व्यवस्था होड़ का निषेध करती है। जाति में लोगों की जगह पारंपरिक, पौराणिक और समकालीन शक्तियों की मदद से स्थिर रखी जाती थी। आज का जाति समूह और उससे जुड़ी हुई राजनीतिक व्यूह-रचना जाति के आधुनिकीकरण का परिणाम है। &lt;br&gt; इस तरह हमारी जाति-व्यवस्था आधुनिकता के दो दौर से गुजरी है। इन दोनों के अलग-अलग परिणाम हैं। इनको समझे बिना हम जाति के नए अवतार की ठीक से व्याख्या नहीं कर सकते।&lt;br&gt;जाति के आधुनिकीकरण का पहला दौर एक तरह से प्रतिक्रियावादी था, क्योंकि उसमें शास्त्रीय आधारों पर जातियों की परिभाषा गढ़ने और शास्त्रों में उल्लिखित वर्ण-व्यवस्था के इर्द-गिर्द हजारों जातियों को जोड़ने की कोशिश की गई। उनके अधिकारों और दावों की पहचान बनाई गई। नतीजा यह हुआ कि जाति की पिघलने की क्षमता, जिसे समाजशास्त्रियों ने संस्कृतिकरण की प्रक्रिया कहा, और जाति के अंतर्गत एक स्थान से दूसरे स्थान पर निर्वासन या प्रवास के कारण होने वाली संभावनाएं सीमित हो गर्इं। जबकि अंग्रेजी राज से पहले जाति की सीमाएं भाषा और क्षेत्रीय इतिहास से जुड़ी होती थीं। &lt;br&gt; दूसरे, अंग्रेजी राज ने जाति की औपनिवेशिक आधुनिकता का संक्रमण पैदा किया- जिसमें उनकी गिनती हुई, उनकी परस्पर दूरियों का निर्धारण हुआ और जिसके दौरान कुछ जातियों को वंचित समूह के रूप में पहचान का अधिकार मिला।   अंग्रेजी राज के दौरान लगभग डेढ़ सदी में कई कोनों से जाति-व्यवस्था के विरुद्ध आंदोलन उठे और इन्होंने भक्ति &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt;आंदोलन से लेकर गैर-हिंदू धर्मों से वैधता प्राप्त की। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt;जब हम जाति की आधुनिकता के दूसरे दौर में पहुंचे, यानी स्वाधीनोत्तर भारत में जाति का स्थान तय करने का अवसर आया, तो संविधानसभा ने तीन साल की लंबी बहस के बाद सर्वसम्मति से भविष्य के भारत के लक्ष्य के तौर पर जातिविहीन और वर्गविहीन समाज की रचना का संकल्प लिया। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt;आजाद भारत के आरंभिक दशकों में जाति-व्यवस्था के आधार पर होने वाले भेदभाव को न केवल अवैध करार देना, बल्कि जाति के कारण सामाजिक, आर्थिक, राजनीतिक और सांस्कृतिक अवसरों से वंचित लोगों के लिए विशेषाधिकारों की व्यवस्था, यानी आरक्षण का प्रावधान किसी क्रांति से कम नहीं था। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt;लेकिन आज आरक्षण की नीति एक नए मोड़ पर पहुंच गई है। यह जाति के जनतांत्रीकरण और आधुनिकीकरण का निर्णायक परिणाम है। आज आरक्षण की नीति को लेकर वंचित समूहों से ज्यादा आरक्षण के दायरे में समेटे गए समूहों के बीच अंतर्विरोध प्रकट हो रहा है। इसके चार स्तर सभी को दिखाई पड़ रहे हैं- पहला, स्त्री और पुरुष का अंतर। एक ही जाति में, जिसे आरक्षण का लाभ दिया गया है, पुरुषों की तुलना में स्त्रियों के लिए सीमित अवसर हैं। इसके लिए समाज की पितृसत्तात्मक व्यवस्था जिम्मेदार है, जो जाति-व्यवस्था को पुष्ट करती रही है। आरक्षण की नीति से इसे टूटना चाहिए था, लेकिन कई कारणों से आज आरक्षण से लाभान्वित जातियों में भी इस प्रश्न का एक अलग स्थान है। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt;आज जाति के संदर्भ में दलितों के बीच दलित और महादलित का ध्रुवीकरण पूरे देश में हो चुका है। फिर, अन्य पिछड़ा वर्ग से संबंधित आरक्षण के पिछले बीस बरस के सामाजिक परिवर्तन के प्रयोगों के फलस्वरूप एक तरफ कई समूह राजनीतिक, शैक्षणिक मामले और सरकारी नौकरियों में अपनी उपस्थिति बढ़ाने में सफल हुए हैं। लेकिन अब इस वर्ग के नेतृत्व को लेकर दबंग या प्रभु जातियों में होड़ चल रही है। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt;दूसरी तरफ धर्मों के दायरे में पल रही जाति-व्यवस्था पर प्रहार के लिए आज आरक्षण नीति के इस्तेमाल का आग्रह बढ़ा है। इसकी अगुआई दलित-ईसाई आंदोलन से हुई और अब हिंदुओं और मुसलमानों में भी कई समूह या तो खुद को अन्य पिछड़ा वर्ग में शामिल कराने का आंदोलन चला या आरक्षण के अंदर उप-आरक्षण की मांग कर रहे हैं। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt;यह सब समाज में महामंथन पैदा कर रहा है, क्योंकि हम स्त्री-पुरुष, जाति प्रसंग, धार्मिक समूहों में निहित विषमता, गांव और शहर के बीच का अंतर; द्विजों और गैर-द्विजों के बीच के फासले को गहराई तक देखने के लिए आत्मविश्वास पैदा कर चुके हैं। इसी के समांतर यह भी देखने की जरूरत है कि भारत में आज 'जाति तोड़ो' या जातिविरोधी आंदोलनों की क्या दशा है। शुरू में इन आंदोलनों को हमने दक्षिण भारत में ब्राह्मण विरोधी मोर्चा और पश्चिम भारत में गैर-ब्राह्मण मोर्चे के रूप में उभरते देखा था, जिसमें ब्राह्मणों की सर्वोच्चता को जाति-व्यवस्था का मूलाधार मानते हुए उसका निषेध और उससे आगे समाज को ले जाने की कोशिश पहला लक्ष्य माना गया था। लेकिन आज जातिविरोधी आंदोलनों के पुराने वाहक थके से लगते हैं। मध्यम जातियों में पूरे भारत में जाति को लेकर कोई विशेष नकारात्मक आग्रह नहीं दिखाई दे रहा है। इसके परिणामस्वरूप उत्तर प्रदेश जैसे राज्य में दलितों को अपने हितों की रक्षा और राजनीतिक क्षेत्रफल के विस्तार के लिए ब्राह्मणों के साथ खुला मोर्चा बना कर सर्वजन समाज की राजनीति शुरू करने का दबाव स्वीकार करना पड़ा है। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt;क्या कारण है कि आज जाति-विरोधी आंदोलन के मूल वाहक, यानी मध्य और दलित जातियां परस्पर सहयोग में असमर्थ हैं? क्या कारण है कि जाति-व्यवस्था से सबसे ज्यादा पीड़ित- स्त्रियां एक दूसरे के साथ मिल कर महिला आरक्षण का आंदोलन तो चला रही हैं, लेकिन उन्हें मंडलवादी ताकतों का सीधा मुकाबला करना पड़ रहा है। क्या कारण है कि आरक्षण नीति के विस्तार के लिए सर्वोच्च न्यायालय के खुले निर्देशों के बावजूद हम परस्पर सहयोग और साझेदारी के भाव के बजाय हिस्से और बंटवारे की बात ज्यादा कर रहे हैं। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt;आज सभी पुरानी जाति तोड़ो शक्तियों का लक्ष्य आरक्षण में आरक्षण बन गया है। इससे जाति को एक नया आधार मिलता दिखाई दे रहा है। क्योंकि अगर हमारी जातीय पहचान घुली-मिली रहेगी तो आरक्षण के अंदर आरक्षण का दावा पूरा नहीं हो सकता। नतीजतन, जाने-अनजाने जाति की पीड़ित जमातें कई कारणों से जातिगत पहचानों को नया आधार और आकार देने की संवैधानिक व्यवस्था के लाभ के लिए विवशता महसूस कर रही हैं। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt;क्या भूमंडलीकरण के कारण जाति-व्यवस्था पर कुछ प्रभाव पड़ रहा है? क्या रोजगार की तलाश में लाखों की तादाद में एक इलाके से दूसरे इलाके जा रहे लोगों का सच जाति-व्यवस्था को कमजोर करने, यानी अंतर्जातीय विवाहों को बढ़ाने में कुछ मदद कर रहा है? इन सबसे ऊपर आधुनिक शिक्षा और सूचना क्रांति से जाति की सीमाओं और समस्याओं को लेकर हम कुछ ज्यादा आत्मालोचक बनने की क्षमता विकसित कर रहे हैं। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt;इक्कीसवीं सदी के दूसरे दशक को  इन सभी प्रश्नों का उत्तर देना पड़ेगा, क्योंकि अब न तो पुरानी जाति-व्यवस्था चल सकती है और न ही जातिविहीन समाज बनाने का पुराना आदर्श आकर्षक रह गया है। फिर तीसरा रास्ता क्या होगा, जिसमें स्त्री, दलित, अतिपिछड़ा, अल्पसंख्यकों का पिछड़ा और आदिवासी खुल कर जनतंत्र की व्यवस्था में निहित त्रिमुखी न्याय का लाभ उठा सकें और सारा   समाज परस्पर सहमति के आधार पर जातिविहीन और वर्गविहीन दुनिया की रचना के ऐतिहासिक संकल्प के साथ ईमानदारी से अपना संबंध बनाए रख सके।&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

size="4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;आनंद प्रधान&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;जनसत्ता 15 फरवरी, 2012 : वित्तमंत्री प्रणब मुखर्जी की नींद उड़ गई है। उनका कहना है कि जब भी वे सब्सिडी के बढ़ते बोझ के बारे में सोचते हैं, उनकी रातों की नींद उड़ जाती है। असल में, वित्तमंत्री ने चालू वित्तीय वर्ष के बजट में विभिन्न मदों (खासकर खाद्य, उर्वरक और पेट्रोलियम) में कुल 1.43 लाख करोड़ रुपए की सब्सिडी का अनुमान लगाया था, लेकिन रिपोर्टों के मुताबिक, इसमें लगभग एक लाख करोड़ रुपए की और बढ़ोतरी होने के आसार हैं। इससे प्रणब मुखर्जी की नींद उड़ी हुई है और उन्हें बुरे सपने आ रहे हैं। &lt;br&gt; प्रणब मुखर्जी पहले वित्तमंत्री नहीं हैं, जिनकी सब्सिडी के बढ़ते बोझ के कारण नींद उड़ी हुई है। उनसे पहले के वित्तमंत्रियों के लिए भी सब्सिडी एक दु:स्वपन की तरह रही है और वे अपनी चिंता का इजहार करते रहे हैं। खासकर हर आम बजट के पहले बिना किसी अपवाद के वित्तमंत्रियों का सब्सिडी-रोदन शुरू हो जाता है। यह वित्त मंत्रियों की सोची-समझी रणनीति का हिस्सा है। इसके जरिए वे एक तीर से दो शिकार करने की कोशिश करते रहे हैं। एक, सब्सिडी के बढ़ते बोझ का हौव्वा खड़ा करके उसमें कटौती के लिए माहौल बनाना और दूसरे, कटौती संभव न हो पाए तो कम से कम उसमें बढ़ोतरी के रास्ते बंद कर देना। &lt;br&gt; प्रणब मुखर्जी भी अपवाद नहीं हैं। आश्चर्य नहीं कि उनका बयान ऐसे समय में आया है जब नए बजट की तैयारियां जोर-शोर से जारी हैं। जाहिर है कि बजट से पहले वे बढ़ती सब्सिडी का हौव्वा खड़ा करके उसमें कटौती के पक्ष में माहौल बनाने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। यही नहीं, इसके जरिए वे आने वाले बजट पर से बढ़ती अपेक्षाओं का बोझ भी कम करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। लेकिन इसका मतलब यह नहीं कि वे हर तरह की सब्सिडी को निशाना बनाने जा रहे हैं। असल में, उनके निशाने पर अमीरों और कॉरपोरेट को मिलने वाली सब्सिडी नहीं, बल्कि उनकी नजर किसानों को मिलने वाली उर्वरक और डीजल सब्सिडी, खासकर गरीबों की खाद्य सब्सिडी पर है। &lt;br&gt; इसका सबूत यह है कि पिछले दो बजटों में भी उन्होंने उर्वरक, पेट्रोलियम और खाद्य सब्सिडी को ही कटौती का निशाना बनाया था। उदाहरण के लिए, इन तीनों मदों में आम चुनाव के वर्ष 2009-10 में कुल सब्सिडी 1.41 लाख करोड़ रुपए थी, लेकिन सत्ता में आते ही 2010-11 के पहले बजट में उन्होंने सब्सिडी के मद में पचीस हजार करोड़ रुपए की कटौती करते हुए बजट में 1.16 लाख करोड़ रुपए का प्रावधान किया। यह और बात है कि 2010-11 के संशोधित बजट अनुमान में सब्सिडी बजट अनुमान से अड़तालीस हजार करोड़ रुपए बढ़ कर 1.64 लाख करोड़ पहुंच गई। लेकिन प्रणब मुखर्जी ने एक बार फिर 2011-12 के बजट अनुमान में इक्कीस हजार करोड़ रुपए की कटौती करते हुए 1.43 लाख करोड़ रुपए का प्रावधान किया, जिसके संशोधित अनुमान में फिर बढ़ कर 2.43 लाख करोड़ रुपए तक पहुंचने की रिपोर्टें हैं। &lt;br&gt; इससे साफ  है कि हर बजट में सब्सिडी में कटौती के बावजूद संशोधित बजट अनुमान में उसमें बढ़ोतरी हुई है, क्योंकि सब्सिडी के बजट अनुमान वास्तविकता से परे और बड़ी देशी-विदेशी पूंजी की वाहवाही लूटने के लिए पेश किए जाते हैं। गौरतलब है कि सब्सिडी में 'भारी बढ़ोतरी' के कोहराम बावजूद यह जीडीपी की मात्र तीन फीसद बैठती है। &lt;br&gt; लेकिन सबसे चौंकाने वाली बात यह है कि एक ओर गरीबों और किसानों को दी जाने वाली इस मामूली राहत को सब्सिडी और अर्थव्यवस्था की वित्तीय सेहत के लिए घातक बता कर निशाना बनाया जा रहा है। वहीं दूसरी ओर, हर बजट में बिना अपवाद के अमीरों और कॉरपोरेट क्षेत्र को दी जाने वाली लाखों करोड़ रुपए की छूट और रियायतों को सब्सिडी न कह कर प्रोत्साहन कहा जाता है और उसमें साल दर साल बढ़ोतरी होने के बावजूद वित्तमंत्री की नींद पर कोई असर नहीं पड़ता है। &lt;br&gt; तथ्य यह है कि वर्ष 2010-11 के बजट में अमीरों और कॉरपोरेट्स को आयकर, कॉरपोरेट टैक्स, सीमा शुल्क और उत्पाद करों में पांच लाख ग्यारह हजार छह सौ तीस करोड़ रुपए की छूट और रियायतें दी गर्इं। यह अकेले जीडीपी का छह फीसद से ज्यादा है।&lt;br&gt; इसका अर्थ यह हुआ कि जिस सब्सिडी से वित्तमंत्री की नींद उड़ जाती है, अमीरों और कॉरपोरेट्स को उसके कोई सवा दो गुने से भी ज्यादा की छूटों और रियायतों से उनकी नींद में कोई खलल नहीं पड़ता। मजे की बात है कि यह छूट अर्थव्यवस्था और विकास के लिए जरूरी मानी जाती है, जबकि गरीबों और किसानों को दी जाने वाली मामूली राहत, जिसका बड़ा हिस्सा कंपनियों और भ्रष्ट अफसरों, नेताओं, ठेकेदारों की जेब में जाता है, उसे अर्थव्यवस्था के लिए बोझ बताया जाता है। इसके बावजूद मजा देखिए कि जैसे ही वित्तमंत्री का बढ़ती सब्सिडी के कारण नींद उड़ने का बयान आया, नव उदारवादी आर्थिक सुधारों के समर्थकों और उनके सबसे बड़े मुखपत्र बन गए गुलाबी अखबारों को मौका मिल गया।  &lt;br&gt; प्रणब मुखर्जी को सब्सिडी के मुद्दे पर सख्ती बरतने और उसमें कटौती के सुझाव दिए जाने लगे। ऐसा लगा जैसे वित्तमंत्री से ज्यादा नींद तो गुलाबी अखबारों के संपादकों और आर्थिक सुधारों के पैरोकारों की उड़ी हुई है। उनके मुताबिक, 'अर्थव्यवस्था और देश के विकास' की राह में सबसे बड़ा रोड़ा बनी इन सब्सिडियों से पीछा छुड़ाने का अंतिम अवसर है, क्योंकि अगले साल चुनावी वर्ष का बजट होगा। उसमें प्रणब मुखर्जी पर लोकलुभावन घोषणाएं करने का दबाव होगा।&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:5px;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:5px;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt;इसलिए इस बात के पक्के आसार हैं कि इस साल के बजट में वित्तमंत्री अपनी मानसिक शांति और नींद   के लिए एक बार फिर उर्वरक, डीजल और खाद्य सब्सिडी को कटौतियों का निशाना बनाएं। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt;आश्चर्य नहीं होगा अगर इसकी शुरुआत उत्तर प्रदेश और गोवा विधानसभा चुनाव के लिए तीन मार्च को मतदान के तुरंत बाद पिछले दो-तीन महीनों से पेट्रोल और डीजल की कीमतों में रुकी वृद्धि की घोषणा हो जाए। साफ  है कि लोकतंत्र के भ्रम और चुनावों की मजबूरी न हो तो बजट से किसानों और गरीबों को मिलने वाली मामूली राहत का भी नामोनिशान मिट जाए। इस मजबूरी को खत्म करने के लिए ही सैद्धांतिक तौर पर अर्थनीति को राजनीति के दबावों से मुक्त करने की वकालत की जाती रही है। दूसरी ओर, चुनावी मजबूरी से बचने के लिए ही भाजपा नेता लालकृष्ण आडवाणी लोकसभा और विधानसभा चुनावों को एक साथ कराने पर जोर देते रहे हैं। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt;लेकिन सवाल है कि यह जानते हुए भी कि बजट में सब्सिडी में कटौती के बावजूद वास्तविकता में उसमें बढ़ोतरी हो रही है, प्रणब मुखर्जी इतने परेशान क्यों हैं? असल में, वे इस सब्सिडी को लेकर उतने परेशान नहीं हैं, जितने खाद्य सब्सिडी को लेकर बेचैन हैं। उनकी नींद इस बात से उड़ी हुई है कि आने वाले बजट में प्रस्तावित खाद्य सुरक्षा कानून के मद्देनजर खाद्य सब्सिडी का बजट बढ़ना तय है। मोटे अनुमानों के मुताबिक, खाद्य सुरक्षा कानून के लागू होने की स्थिति में खाद्य सब्सिडी के मौजूदा साठ हजार करोड़ रुपए के बजट में कोई पचीस से पैंतीस हजार करोड़ रुपए की वृद्धि हो सकती है। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt;हालांकि वित्तमंत्री ने राजनीतिक संकोच में यह खुल कर नहीं कहा है, लेकिन यह किसी से छिपा नहीं है कि वित्त मंत्रालय खाद्य सब्सिडी में इस 'भारी वृद्धि' को लेकर खुश नहीं है। सच यह है कि खाद्य सब्सिडी में वृद्धि के डर से खाद्य सुरक्षा कानून का खुद यूपीए सरकार के अंदर दबे-छिपे खासा विरोध हो रहा है। कृषिमंत्री शरद पवार तो अपनी नाखुशी कई मौकों पर खुल कर जाहिर कर चुके हैं। यही कारण है कि पिछले डेढ़-दो सालों में इस प्रस्तावित कानून को अमल में आने से रोकने और उसे कमजोर और सीमित करने की हर संभव कोशिश की गई है। हैरानी की बात नहीं है कि यूपीए-2 सरकार का खाद्य सुरक्षा का यह सबसे महत्त्वाकांक्षी कार्यक्रम पिछले ढाई सालों से विभिन्न मंत्रालयों-समितियों के खींचतान में फंसा रहा। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt;इस दौरान इसे रोकने और कमजोर करने की भरपूर कोशिश की गई। इसके लिए सबसे अधिक खाद्य सब्सिडी के बजट में संभावित 'भारी बढ़ोतरी' को मुद्दा बनाया गया। यहां तक कि इसके खिलाफ एक व्यापक कुप्रचार अभियान शुरू कर दिया गया, जिसमें बहुत सोचे-समझे तरीके से खाद्य सुरक्षा कानून लागू होने के बाद खाद्य सब्सिडी के बजट में दो से तीन गुनी वृद्धि के आकलन पेश किए जाने लगे। सरकार के एक बड़े अफसर तो इसका बजट छह लाख करोड़ रुपए तक ले गए। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt;खाद्य सब्सिडी में 'भारी वृद्धि' के इन काल्पनिक अनुमानों के पीछे असली मकसद वित्तीय घाटे में भारी बढ़ोतरी और इस कारण 'वित्तीय ध्वंस' का हौव्वा खड़ा करना था ताकि खाद्य सुरक्षा कानून को रोका और लटकाया जा सके। हालांकि इसमें नया कुछ भी नहीं है। इससे पहले भी ग्रामीण रोजगार गारंटी कानून और किसानों की कर्ज माफी के मुद्दे पर भी इसी तरह का अभियान चलाया गया था। इस बार निशाने पर खाद्य सुरक्षा कानून है। चिंता की बात यह है कि इस अभियान में प्रधानमंत्री के बाद अब खुद वित्तमंत्री भी शामिल हो गए हैं। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt;दिलचस्प है कि खुद कृषि मंत्रालय के खाद्य और सार्वजनिक वितरण विभाग का अनुमान है कि इस कानून को लागू करने में मौजूदा बजट प्रावधान की तुलना में सिर्फ सताईस हजार करोड़ रुपए अधिक खर्च होंगे। यही नहीं, ज्यादातर तार्किक अनुमानों में इस कानून को लागू करने के लिए अधिकतम पंचानबे हजार करोड़ से लेकर 1.10 लाख करोड़ रुपए खर्च होने का आकलन है। यह रकम जीडीपी के 1.4 फीसद के आसपास बैठती है। सवाल है कि क्या खुद को दुनिया की एक बड़ी आर्थिक महाशक्ति के रूप में पेश कर रहा देश अपने भूखे लोगों के लिए दो जून के भोजन के लिए जीडीपी का 1.4 फीसद खर्च नहीं कर सकता है? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt;सवाल यह भी उठता है कि क्या वित्तमंत्री की नींद कभी इस तथ्य से उड़ती है कि देश में सरकारी आंकड़ों के मुताबिक कोई तीस करोड़ से अधिक भारतीय ऐसे हैं, जिन्हें एक जून भी भरपेट भोजन नहीं मिलता? क्या उन्हें भी प्रधानमंत्री की तरह यह राष्ट्रीय शर्म महसूस होती है कि देश में कोई बयालीस फीसद बच्चे कुपोषण के शिकार हैं? क्या वित्तमंत्री को इस बात से बेचैनी होती है कि देश में कोई अठहत्तर फीसद लोग प्रतिदिन बीस रुपए से कम की आय पर गुजारा करने को मजबूर हैं? क्या उनकी नींद इस बात से भी उड़ती है कि आसमान छूती महंगाई के बीच आम आदमी कैसे जी रहा है? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;text-align:left"&gt;कहना मुश्किल है कि इन और इन जैसी अनेक कड़वी सच्चाइयों से वित्तमंत्री की नींद पर असर पड़ता है, लेकिन इतना तय है कि ये किसी भी संवेदनशील इंसान की नींद उड़ाने के लिए काफी हैं। गांधीजी ने कहा था कि कोई भी फैसला करने से पहले सबसे आखिरी पायदान पर खड़े आदमी की सोचो कि क्या वह उसके आंसू पोंछ पाएगा? क्या प्रणब मुखर्जी को गांधी की यह जंत्री याद है? बजट का इंतजार कीजिए।&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

दिल्ली, 16 फरवरी (एजेंसी) समझौता एक्सप्रेस धमाका मामले में राष्ट्रीय स्वयं सेवक संघ के एक कार्यकर्ता की गिरफ्तारी पर माकपा ने संघ की कड़ी आलोचना करते हुए इसे संगठन और आतंक के बीच 'एक और' कड़ी बताया है।&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:5px"&gt;माकपा के वरिष्ठ नेता सीताराम येचुरी ने आरोप लगाया, ''समझौता एक्सप्रेस बम विस्फोट में कथित भूमिका के लिए राष्ट्रीय जांच एजेंसी द्वारा कमल चौहान की गिरफ्तारी के साथ ही आतंक का जाल बुनने के लिए संघ और उसके संबद्ध संगठनों के बीच संबंध सिद्ध होता है।''&lt;br&gt; चौहान को मध्यप्रदेश में संघ का पुराना कार्यकर्ता बताते हुए उन्होंने कहा है कि समझौता विस्फोट की जांच के बाद 'महत्वपूर्ण सुराग से संघ और उसके संबद्ध संगठनों के बीच संबंध का पता चलता है।' जांच से पता चलता है कि इन संगठनों का मालेगांव :आठ सितंबर 2008:, हैदराबाद में मक्का मस्जिद :18 मई 2007: और अजमेर शरीफ दरगाह :11 अक्टूबर 2007: के आतंकी हमले से संबंध है।&lt;br&gt; माकपा के मुखपत्र 'पीपुल्स डेमोक्रेसी' के आगामी अंक के लिए अपने संपादकीय में उन्होंने कहा है कि इससे हिंदुत्व आतंक का जाल फैलाने में संघ का हाथ होने का पता चलता है।&lt;br&gt;आतंक का कोई धर्म नहीं है, की बात कहते हुए येचुरी ने कहा कि माकपा ने 2008 में राष्ट्रीय एकता परिषद की एक बैठक में 'देश भर के विभिन्न बम धमाकों में बजरंग दल और संघ के अन्य संबद्ध संगठनों की भागीदारी की तरफ सरकार का ध्यान खींचा था।&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:5px"&gt;माकपा ने &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px"&gt;2003 और 2008 के बीच महाराष्ट्र के जलगांव, नांदेड़, परबनी, जालना उत्तर प्रदेश के कानपुर और मउच्च् और तमिलनाडु के तीनकाशी में कुछ घटनाओं की भी निष्पक्ष जांच कराने की मांग की है।&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px"&gt;ऐसे देश विरोधी कृत्यों को कतई बर्दाश्त न किए जाने पर जोर देते हुए उन्होंने कहा कि संघ एक बार फिर यह घोषणा करेगा कि इस तरह की आतंकी घटनाओं को गुमराह तत्वों ने अंजाम दिया और पूरे संगठन को इसके लिए दोषी नहीं ठहराया जाना चाहिए। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px"&gt;इस संबंध में उन्होंने कहा 'इस तरह के दावों में बिल्कुल दम नहीं है। महात्मा गांधी की हत्या के बाद नाथूराम गोडसे के बारे में भी ऐसा ही कहा गया था। हालांकि गोडसे के भाई ने एक मीडिया साक्षात्कार में कहा था कि उसके परिवार में सभी भाई संघ के सक्रिय सदस्य थे।'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px"&gt;माकपा नेता ने जिन्ना से भी दो साल पहले सावरकर के द्वि-राष्ट्र सिद्धांत का हवाला देते हुए कहा कि इससे संघ के संस्थापक डा. हेडगेवार के सलाहकार बीएस मुंजे इससे प्रभावित होकर मुसोलनी से मिलने के लिए इटली गए थे। 19 मार्च 1931 को उनकी मुलाकात हुयी थी।  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px"&gt;उन्होंने कहा कि मुंजे की निजी डायरी के 20 मार्च के नोट में उन्होंने इस बारे में अपनी चाहत को भी बयां किया है जिसमें इतालवी फासीवादी तानाशाह द्वारा अपने युवाओं को सैन्य प्रशिक्षण देने की बात कही गयी है। भारत लौटकर मुंजे ने 1935 में सेंट्रल हिंदू मिलिट्री एजुकेशन सोसाइटी की स्थापना की थी।&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:5px"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;साथ ही साफ किया है कि डाउ कैमीकल का 2000 तक यूनियन कार्बाइड में कोई मालिकाना हक नहीं था।&lt;br&gt;आईओसी ने इसके साथ ही कहा कि उसका डाउ कैमीकल के साथ पिछले 30 साल से अधिक समय से रिश्ता है और '' हमने जब डाउ के साथ भागीदारी पर चर्चा की तो हम भोपाल कांड से वाकिफ थे। ''&lt;br&gt; भारतीय ओलंपिक संघ : आईओए : ने लंदन ओलंपिक खेलों के एक प्रायोजक के रूप में डाउ कैमीकल का शुरू से विरोध किया है क्योंकि यूनियन कार्बाइड का मालिकाना हक उसके पास है। यूनियन कार्बाइड भारत के सबसे दर्दनाक औद्योगिक हादसे के लिये जिम्मेदार रही है। &lt;br&gt; आईओए न आईओसी और लंदन ओलंपिक खेलों की आयोजन समिति से डाउ को खेलों के प्रायोजक से हटाने का आग्रह किया था। &lt;br&gt;आईओए के कार्यवाहक अध्यक्ष विजय कुमार मल्होत्रा को भेजे गये पत्र में आईओसी प्रमुख जाक रोगे ने कहा है, '' आईओसी मानती है कि 1984 में भोपाल कांड भारत और दुनिया के लिये भयावह था। ओलंपिक आंदोलन पीड़ितों के परिवारों के प्रति गहरी संवेदना &lt;span

लिखा है, ''आईओसी और लंदन ओलंपिक आयोजन समिति ने जब डाउ के साथ भागीदारी पर चर्चा की तो वह भोपाल कांड से वाकिफ थे। डाउ का भोपाल कांड से कोई संबंध नहीं था। डाउ का उस घटना के 16 साल बाद और भारतीय उच्चतम न्यायालय द्वारा 470 मिलियन डालर के मुआवजे को मंजूरी देने के 12 साल बाद तक डाउ का यूनियन कार्बाइड में कोई मालिकाना हक नहीं था। ''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px"&gt;इस पत्र पर मल्होत्रा ने कहा कि आईओए आईओसी के रवैये से संतुष्ट नहीं है।

&amp;#39;मुनाफे में बढ़ोतरी की मुख्य वजह जगुआर ऐंड लैंड रोवर (जेएलआर) के प्रदर्शन में खासा सुधार रहा, जिसको अच्छे उत्पाद, मिश्रित कारोबार और विनिमय दरों से खासा फायदा मिला।&amp;#39; जहां जेएलआर को चीन और अन्य विकासशील देशों से अच्छी मांग मिली, वहीं चुनौतीपूर्ण माहौल और प्रतिस्पर्धा के कारण टाटा मोटर्स के घरेलू कारोबार में कमी आई। इस तिमाही में कंपनी का स्टैंड-अलोन शुद्ध मुनाफा आधे से भी ज्यादा गिरकर 173 करोड़ रुपये रह गया, जबकि बीते वित्त वर्ष की इसी अवधि में मुनाफा 410 करोड़ रुपये रहा था। बिक्री में 15 फीसदी की बढ़ोतरी के बावजूद कच्चे माल की ऊंची लागत के कारण कंपनी के मार्जिन पर खासा असर पड़ा, जो 10.8 फीसदी से गिरकर 6.7 फीसदी रह गया। तीसरी तिमाही में समेकित आधार पर कंपनी की कुल बिक्री 46,199 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो बीते वित्त वर्ष की इसी अवधि में हुई 31,262 करोड़ रुपये की बिक्री की तुलना में 48 फीसदी ज्यादा है। इस तिमाही में जेएलआर का शुद्ध मुनाफा 57 फीसदी बढ़कर 44 करोड़ पाउंड तक पहुंच गया।&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span

style="font-size:19px;font-family:Arial;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"&gt;सरकार ने कहा था कि पूर्व कॉर्पोरेट लॉबिस्ट नीरा राडिया की टेलिफोन पर हुई बातचीत को टेप करने में सेवा प्रदाताओं सहित आठ से दस एजेंसियां शामिल थीं। न्यायमूर्ति सिंघवी ने रिपोर्ट का संदर्भ देते हुए कहा कि रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, बातचीत का शुरुआती और अंतिम भाग मूल टेप्स से मेल नहीं खाते। उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि रिपोर्ट में बताया गया है कि जांच करने वाले अधिकारियों को यह जानकारी नहीं है कि ये टेप्स किसने लीक की थीं।&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span

टाटा ने अपनी याचिका में राडिया की बातचीत वाले टेप्स लीक होने का मामला उठाया जिसकी जांच करने की जरूरत है। सरकार ने टाटा का, बातचीत के लीक हुए अंशों का समाचार पत्रों में प्रकाशन रोकने के लिए कदम उठाने

दी थी जिसके आधार पर उसने राडिया की राजनीतिक नेताओं, कॉर्पोरेट प्रमुखों और मीडिया से जुड़े लोगों के साथ हुई बातचीत टैप करना शुरू किया था।&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span

में दी गई थी। न्यायालय ने 13 दिसंबर 2010 को टाटा के उस आग्रह पर आदेश दिया था जिसमें टाटा ने राडिया के साथ अपनी निजी बातचीत वाले टेप्स लीक होने की जांच करने और बातचीत के अंशों का प्रकाशन रोकने के लिए कदम उठाने का अनुरोध किया था।&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span

'मूडीज' ने फ्रांस, ब्रिटेन और ऑस्ट्रेलिया जैसी बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्थाओं की शीर्ष 'ट्रिपल ए' क्रेडिट रेटिंग (ऋण साख) घटाने की चेतावनी जारी की है। संस्था ने कहा है कि उसे कर्ज संकट से निबटने के इन देशों के प्रयासों पर भरोसा नहीं रह गया है।एजेंसी ने इसके साथ इटली, स्पेन और पुर्तगाल समेत यूरोप के छह देशों की रेटिंग एक पायदान नीचे करने का भी ऐलान किया। जर्मनी की क्रेडिट रेटिंग को पूर्ववत बनाए रखा गया है। फ्रांस, ब्रिटेन, ऑस्ट्रेलिया की क्रेडिट रेटिंग कम करने के मसले पर मूडीज ने कहा कि इन देशों पर कर्ज का भार इतना अधिक है कि इनके लिए बजट खर्चों में कटौती कर पाना मुमकिन नहीं लगता।&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;

पारिभाषित करते हैं। राष्ट्रीय सांख्यिकी एजेंसी आईस्टैट ने बुधवार को प्राथमिक आंकड़ों से संबंधित एक बयान में यह जानकारी दी। सरकारी और कारोबारी समूहों ने अनुमान जताया था कि आर्थिक संकट के कारण इटली की इकॉनमी मंदी में पहुंच चुकी है, जबकि उप वित्त मंत्री विट्टोरियो ग्रिल्ली ने दिसंबर में अनुमान जताया था कि इस साल आर्थिक गिरावट रहेगी जबकि 2013 में इसमें कोई विकास नहीं होगा। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;

की सरकार के गिरने और यूरो के लिए एक चुनौती सामने आने के बाद नए प्रधानमंत्री मारियो मोंटी ने नवंबर में गैर राजनीतिक जानकारों के साथ सरकार की कमान संभाली थी। मोंटी ने तब से कई कठोर सुधार किए हैं। इन सुधारों में टैक्स में बढ़ोतरी और पेंशन के लिए रिटायरमेंट की उम्र बढ़ाने जैसे कदम शामिल हैं। इससे इटली के लोगों की बचत पर असर होगा। जिसका मतलब है कि इटली में विकास के वापस लौटने से पहले आर्थिक स्थिति और खराब होगी।&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span

की वजह से कंपनी के मुनाफे यह कमी आई है। पिछले वित्त वर्ष की समान तिमाही में कंपनी ने 164.02 करोड़ रुपये का शुद्ध लाभ कमाया था। लैंको ने समीक्षाधीन अवधि में 1,985 करोड़ रुपये मूल्य के कच्चे माल का

style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;The  important thing about the attack on Israeli diplomat's car [Number: 109  CD 35; blue number plate with CD meaning Diplomatic Corps] is that it  happened within the square mile of sanitized Delhi that rules over 1.2  billion Indians. This is an intensely patrolled area; at every  intersection you will find a fast police car with armed policemen to  cordon off an entire street or several streets within seconds of any  terrorist event. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;Therefore,  it is simply inconceivable that a lone rider on a motorbike stopped by  the Israeli diplomat's car, attached an explosive device, and scooted  from the scene before the car blew up. And all of this within seconds.  Either the policemen were sleeping - all of them, at the same time - at  quarter past three; or something else happened. The lone eye witness who  saw something being attached could have been any one, or anything, we  don't know. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;On  Aurangzeb Road, an address to die for, every hour 1500-2000 cars move.  By counting the stately mansions on this road, you can arrive at an  approximate figure of India's current dollar billionaires. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;About  fifteen years ago, one of the residents of Aurangzeb Road, a well  connected big industrialist, was offered several million dollars in  monthly rent and a deposit of a corpus of Rs 500 million in any bank  anywhere in the world. This is one of the most beautiful homes on  Aurangzeb Road and the person who offered the deal was the then Israeli  Ambassador to India. Some folks are extremely pushy and today the  Israeli Embassy is located somewhere on Aurangzeb Road. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;Within  hours of the attack on the poor lady diplomat, the Israeli Government  was spewing venom on Iranians. And within hours, an embarrassed Indian  Foreign Minister SM Krishna, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;recently back from his Tel Aviv sojourn&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;,  came out with a guarded statement that 'investigation have started'  [whatever that means]. By evening the American Zionist lobby passed its  judgment that India's relationship with Iran is a &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;violation of decent international behavior&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;Need  Indians remind the Zionist lobby that India's relationship with its  West Asian neighbors goes back six millennia [i.e. 6,000 years x 365  days=2.19 million days] if not earlier? Zionist Israel arrived in these  parts about six decades ago and that too illegally. Zionist bankers  bank-rolled the British occupation of large part of Asia [East, South  and West] and extracted their pound of flesh by dispossessing the  Palestinians. Perhaps they made an offer that the Palestinians refused,  just as the Indian businessman on Aurangzeb Road; and so they acquired a  prime property in West Asia by force, and by deceit on Aurangzeb Road. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;How  many Iranian nuclear scientists have been done in by the Mossad?  Hourly, we hear that Iranians must be stopped from becoming a nuclear  power. Hourly we hear that Iran is a terrorist country; switch on the  neo-liberal imperialist TV channels-CNN or BBC or Fox- and the  presenters are usually frothing with spittle drooling from the corner of  their slavish mouths. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;What was the role of Mossad in Mumbai mayhem on the night of 26&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; November, 2008? The killing of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;" lang="EN"&gt;Rabbi  Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg brought about a global outcry almost in  unison against anti-semitism and the vicious designs of Islamic  terrorists. And within hours &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;Abraham Foxman, Director of the Anti Defamation League, came out with his own variety of venom: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left:0.5in"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;"This  brutal attack once again shows that terrorists single out Jews. The  attack is a reminder that the world must stand up against all terrorism,  because in the end no one is safe until terrorism is combated in all  its manifestations."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;It  never occurred to this foxy Foxman that a determined terrorist would  spare Chabad House for two victims when he/she can attack thousands  living illegally in the remote villages in Kullu valley and around  Dharamshala [Dalai Lama's de facto capital]. Over 10,000 Israelis,  mostly from the armed forces, come here, live illegally, smoke pot and  screw around. Very soon, Yiddish, the Ashkenazi lingo, will become the  second language in these parts. I know these villages very well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;Why  has the Chabad House been under investigation in India? In February  this year, the Israeli couple running the Mumbai Chabad was told to  leave India? 4000 Chabad Houses in 73 countries, ostensibly to provide  support to visiting Israelis, perhaps to supply pure Kosher meat, in  reality a huge global network of 'Crack.' And this is not an isolated  event. Since Mumbai mayhem, many Israelis all over India have been told  to leave. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;Is  the Delhi car bombing related to the pressures being brought on by  Israelis [the tail] that wags the dog [London and DC] for India to  rethink buying oil and gas from Iran violating the "international  sanction" imposed by a few imperialist powers? Blow up a few more high  profile Israelis, in the square mile of the power centre of India and  world's mainstream media would blow your TV screens, so loud would be  the condemnation of Islamic Jehadists from Iran. Holding 1.4 trillion  dollars of ill gotten gains in the Zionist banks, the Indian political  class will capitulate. Or lose their cash and properties in Monaco,  London, Paris, and Cayman Islands.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;Hasn't  it already? When 9/11 happened, the senile PM Vajpayee wanted Baby Bush  to "select" his India as a key partner in West's sham GWOT. His Home  Minister, another senile politician Lal Krishna Advani, went to Tel Aviv  a year earlier to forge an alliance to fight Islamic terrorists, giving  vital operational base to the Mossad in sensitive Kashmir. Headed by  Eli Katzir of the Israel Counter-Terrorism Combat Unit and Israeli  military intelligence officials, a new era of "cooperation" with world's  Zionism starts and with each passing year, the Indian  intelligence architecture got more and more deeply penetrated by those  very forces that engineer terrorist acts worldwide. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;Don't  the Indian intelligence agencies know what is going on? Of course they  do; just as top operatives in the CIA and FBI know what was going on;  the serious ones within French, German and British intelligence also  know what is going on. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;And  they all know that Car No 109 CD 35 has served the purpose of  terrifying the political class within the square mile. But the folks who  live within that square mile have stashed too many billions in Israel  friendly banksters' banks not to take it rather seriously. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="HOEnZb"&gt;&lt;font color="#888888"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- &lt;br&gt;Feroze Mithiborwala&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;-- &lt;br&gt;Palash Biswas&lt;br&gt;Pl Read:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://nandigramunited-banga.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://nandigramunited-banga.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4054889382959863533-1288163997373746001?l=singurrevolts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singurrevolts.blogspot.com/feeds/1288163997373746001/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4054889382959863533&amp;postID=1288163997373746001' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4054889382959863533/posts/default/1288163997373746001'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4054889382959863533/posts/default/1288163997373746001'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singurrevolts.blogspot.com/2012/02/fwd-excellent-article-delhi-event-21312.html' title='Fwd: Excellent article!! - Delhi event 2/13/12 The car bomb that exposed India&apos;s sham sovereignty by Prof Arun Srivasata'/><author><name>Palash Biswas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07741662018019801640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4054889382959863533.post-3761266944255424455</id><published>2012-02-16T06:52:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-16T06:52:08.063-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Fwd: Israeli Embassies Attacked - Whose Vengeance and Unholy Wars are These?

- &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;     &lt;div&gt;by FARZANA VERSEY&lt;/div&gt;     &lt;div&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Monday. February 13. 3.54 pm. A bomb explodes in the car of an         Israeli diplomat. Three people, including the defence attaché's         wife Tal Yehoshua, are grievously injured.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;30 minutes later, embassy officials are examining the remains         of the vehicle in an area that has been cordoned off by the         police.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Within three hours, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu         accuses the Hizbullah and Iran: "Iran, which stands behind these         attacks, is the largest exporter of terror in the world. The         Israeli government and its security forces will continue to work         together with local security services against these terrorist         actions."&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;He is pre-empting the inquiry, and the media is already talking         about "Hizbullah in Delhi" and "Israel targeted in India". We         are calling ourselves a soft state when our own hardliners and         security forces have been killing citizens inside the country.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;The question is not whether global terror is being fought on         Indian soil but how much of it is being arranged here. If it is         legitimate to ask about the role of local handlers, then why has         there been no concern about the incident of a planned vengeance         by Israelis?&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Cut to a report a few days ago when there was palpable revenge.         The couple, Shneor Zalman and Yaffa Shenoi, arrived in India on         a multiple-entry visa in March 2010. After the visa expired,         they went back and returned within a month. What was their         purpose that they paid a "disproportionately high rent" of Rs.         50,000 a month for a house in Fort Kochi, Kerala? A senior         official was quoted in a report saying: "Central intelligence         got an alert about a covert operation being carried out by         suspected Israeli agents after the 26/11 Mumbai terror strike in         which south Mumbai's Chabad House came under attack and six         Jews, including a Rabbi and his pregnant wife, were killed. We         have traced the couple's financial transactions. They will be         questioned before they are deported. Preliminary investigations         suggest some Israelis are camping in various parts of the         country."&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;This comes from official sources and all that they think of is         deporting the couple. There has been complete silence from the         usually active dispensers of opinion, too.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Let us return to the scene of Monday's crime.  The Indian and         international media have gone ballistic about it without a shred         of evidence. If the argument is that the Indian prime minister's         house is in the vicinity and reveals lapses in our security,         then why is no one apprehensive about our situation? It raises         questions beyond safety measures. Why are we falling in line         with Israeli rules? What is the American effort in this proxy         war? It is not Hizbullah that is fighting in India, but Israel.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;With the top leaders' comments, Israel is not only holding         India to ransom but also trying to play its victim-aggressor         game here. A bomb that went off simultaneously in Georgia was         defused, for it does not resonate well with the anti-Arab/Iran         narrative. One is not condoning any such attacks, but this most         certainly does not look like a war against Israel, a state that         has got its armour in place. Mossad is as pervasive as the CIA.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said, "It just shows that         Israel and its citizens face terror inside and outside of         Israel. We deal with it every day. We know how to identify         exactly who is responsible for the attack and who carried it         out. We will not allow this to affect our agenda."&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Has anyone questioned the agenda? The identification process         assumes reprisal.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Blindly accepting the Israeli version of domestic links with         groups will obviously lead to the blanket indictment of 'jihadi'         organisations, many of them imagined entities of the right-wing         parties. Is it not possible that some Hindutva terror groups now         openly asserting themselves and held culpable for such         activities could be used for Israel's covert operations? Israel         does not have suicide missions, but it understands the masochism         paradigm only too well.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p style="text-align:center"&gt;***&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;The revenge space is never empty. Philosopher Martha Nussbaum         has written:&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;blockquote&gt;         &lt;p&gt;"The primitive sense of the just…starts from the notion that           a human life…is a vulnerable thing, a thing that can be           invaded, wounded, violated by another's act in many ways. For           this penetration, the only remedy that seems appropriate is a           counter invasion, equally deliberate, equally grave. And to           right the balance truly, the retribution must be exactly,           strictly proportional to the original encroachment. It differs           from the original act only in the sequence of time and in the           fact that it is response rather than original act – a fact           frequently obscured if there is a long sequence of acts and           counteracts."&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;/blockquote&gt;       &lt;p&gt;We need to look at a few examples to emphasise our         vulnerability.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Members of the orthodox Jewish Chabad India Trust have moved         out of Nariman House and are residing in an unknown location due         to security reasons. Soon after the Mumbai attacks, six members         of a group called Zaka (acronym for Zihuy Korbanot Ason –         Disaster Victim Identification)  arrived in the city to collect         and arrange the body parts and blood of Jews so that they could         be returned to family members and were afforded a dignified         burial according to Jewish law. The police investigations were         not completed.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;More recently, Israeli national Nurit Toker was booked by the         Mumbai police under the Arms Act, 1959, for carrying two live         cartridges in her backpack while travelling from Mumbai to         Kathmandu. In her petition she mentioned that she had completed         her compulsory three-year training in the Israeli army and these         were her personal ammunition, compatible with the M-16 assault         rifle acquired during her military training. She had not carried         the rifle, though. Sec. 3 clearly states "there is no         requirement of use or intention to use the arm or ammunition" to         pursue the case. Yet, the Israel Consulate intervened to say         that the accused had accidentally left bullets in her bag.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;This is not the first such instance. In 2006, Noa Haviv had         cleared customs at Mumbai airport as well as the security         agencies of Israeli airline El Al at Tel Aviv and arrived with         16 bullets and a magazine in her check-in baggage. The Israeli         consul general had stated then: "We have every reason to believe         that it was an innocent mistake. She had borrowed this suitcase         from her brother, who is a licensed weapons holder. She was not         aware of the bullets inside when she packed her bags."         Amazingly, only the airline filed a case and not the Airports         Authority of India or the security agencies of the government.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;In a country that arrests whole families on mere "tip offs",         this leniency is alarming. Worse, all 171 passengers on the El         Al flight had walked out of the green channel and cleared         customs in 15 minutes. Why this express service? Even Indians         returning from a holiday take longer. The customs official at         the time had said, "…this was a flight coming from Israel, where         security measures are stringent."&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Are we to depend on another state's security assurances? Israel         is not above suspicion. No country is.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p style="text-align:center"&gt;***&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;The attack on the embassy staff took place in India. We cannot         allow investigations to be outsourced. Hillary Clinton offered         US assistance to probe into "these cowardly acts" because the         "scourge of terrorism is an affront to the entire international         community".&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;In an editorial, The Pioneer uses this incident for its         grand-standing: "Governments around the world are mindful of         such occasions when Israelis, both diplomats and civilians, are         likely be targeted; sadly, the Government of India chooses to         ignore them, busy as the Home Minister is defending himself in a         corruption case while intelligence agencies are pre-occupied         with snooping on the Congress's political opponents and         conducting 'surveys' in election-bound States". It adds, with         alacrity, that at least the people should be agitated "if not         the Government whose Ministers are at the moment unabashedly         pandering to Muslim extremism in Uttar Pradesh".&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Are we to be on our toes for Israel? Why did the papers not         write editorials when suspicious activities of Israelis were         noticed by these intelligence agencies? Why suppress those?&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;As expected, Pakistan and its Inter Services Intelligence are         used as an example. There has been no proof. Israel is using         Indian susceptibility with regard to relationship with Pakistan.         There is an indeed an insurgency problem and the recent history         of the Mumbai attacks. The fact that the Jewish Chabad House was         one of the targets makes it appear as a legitimate connection.         But Pakistan has closer ties with Saudi Arabia and is inimical         to Iran, which is the current bone stuck in the throats of the         western powers and Israel.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;There are cursory references to the four Iranian nuclear         scientists who were killed in the last two years. Instead, the         bomb blast is being touted as revenge for the death of         Hizbullah's military chief Imad Mughniyeh in a car explosion.         What is so important about the fourth death anniversary? Do also         note that he was killed in Syria, so Israel has a virtual buffet         meal at its disposal to point fingers at.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said.         "Israel perpetrated the terror actions to launch psychological         warfare against Iran."&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;There are sniggers, but Israel has every reason to perpetuate         such mind-numbing ideas, if not actions. In 1948, Menachem         Begin's unit slaughtered the inhabitants of Deir Yassin. In         1953, Ariel Sharon led the slaughter of the inhabitants of         Qibya, and in 1982 arranged for their allies to butcher around         2,000 in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatilla. He had         declared, "We must hit, hit and hit them incessantly – not by         means of large-scale war. Suddenly someone disappears there,         someone is found dead here and somewhere else someone is found         stabbed to death in a European nightclub."&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;The history if Israel is as damning as it is damaged. It has         flouted every rule and yet got the benefit of protection.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;India is most certainly not a soft power that some of our own         commentators are shamelessly projecting it as. It is a bit         obsessed and still suffers from a colonial hangover. It has         created its cocoon of goodwill based on the flimsy delusion of         being a developed nation where hybrid progress is sustained in a         greenhouse. In that, it is not too different from some of the         wealthy Arab states that are only concerned about how they sell         their oil and for how much. Just as they have their pecking         order, India maintains a stoical distance from the larger pool         of South Asian countries by virtue of its "close relations" with         those who matter.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Self-preservation is the goal of any society, but when it         becomes opportunistic it is difficult to demarcate the lines of         control and of control freaks. By a process of natural selection         that imbues it as a 'doctrinaire liberal' society, India is         being co-opted in an unholy war&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Farzana Versey&lt;/strong&gt; is a Mumbai-based writer.

(One method that would have some possibility of success would be to ratchet up covert regime change efforts in the hope that Tehran would retaliate overtly, or even semi-overtly, which could then be portrayed as an unprovoked act of Iranian aggression.)

The terms of the new bailout package from the  European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary  Fund, the so-called 'troika', equal a carpet bombing of whatever is  left of collective social rights and represent an extreme attempt to  bring wage levels and workplace situation back to the 1960s.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;img alt="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name="1357efa0905898f0_continue"&gt;Terms of the Bailout&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;div&gt;Under the terms of the new agreement the following drastic changes are going to be put to vote:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The minimum wage, which up to now was determined under the terms of  the National Collective Contract signed by the Trade Union  Confederation and the Employers Associations, is going to be reduced by  22%. For new workers under 25 the reduction is going to reach 32%. This  is going to immediately affect around 25% of total workforce in Greece.  Moreover, wage maturities (the increases in wages according to the years  of workplace experience) are going to be frozen.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;This reduction is also going to affect all other private sector  employees covered by collective contracts and agreements. With most  contracts having reached or reaching their end, with a new system of  collective bargaining and mediation in place that openly favors  employers, the terms of the new agreement demand that also individual  terms of employment are going to change leading in most sectors to wage  reductions of up to 50% (until now even when a collective agreement  expired individual contracts signed under its terms could not be  altered). These wage reductions are going to be devastating, taking into  consideration that drastic reductions in public sector pay have already  been imposed and that labour cost in Greece is already down by 25%,  helped by unemployment having reached unseen before levels (the official  unemployment in November exceeded 20%).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;All pensions are going to be reduced by more than 15%, a reduction  that is following other reductions that had been earlier imposed.  Moreover, the terms of the agreement demand a new overhaul of the  pension system paving the way for more reductions and raising of age  limits. Pension reductions are not only going to affect the living  conditions of older people but will also limit inter-generational  solidarity, a crucial aspect of social cohesion in Greece.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;All forms of social spending are going to be drastically cut  including funds for hospitals and health coverage and social benefits.  Since hospitals are already in critical condition because of earlier  cuts, this new wave of cuts is expected to lead to a dramatic  deterioration of health services in a country that is already facing  deteriorating health indicators.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A new wave of privatizations is demanded, including the sale of  crucial infrastructure such as airports and seaports and full  privatization of public utilities.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A new wave of lay-offs of public sector employees is going to be  implemented, helped by a wave of closures of public institutions,  including primary and secondary education schools, university  departments and agencies such as the one responsible for public housing.  Moreover, terms of employment in Public Utilities (partly owned by the  State) and Banks are going to change, with all provisions for secure  employment eliminated, leading to another wave of mass lay-offs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;div&gt;The social cost of this transformation is going to be immense. For  the first time since WWII large parts of Greek society are facing the  danger of extreme pauperization. And the first signs are already here:  increased homelessness, soup kitchens and a new wave of people  emigrating from Greece in search for employment. And things are only  going to get worse as traditional forms of solidarity, mainly through  family relations, can no longer cope with the situation.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;It is obvious that most of these measures have little or nothing to  do with dealing with increased debt. Indeed, private sector wage  reductions are reducing pension contributions, leading to more deficits.  What is at stake is an attempt from the part of the EU-IMF-ECB troika  and the leading fractions of the Greek bourgeoisie to violently impose a  social 'regime change' in Greece.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;Race to the Bottom&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;div&gt;According to the dominant narrative the problem with Greece is a  chronic lack of export competitiveness which demands a new approach  based on cheap labour and doing away with any environmental  restrictions, urban planning regulations and archeological protections  that could discourage potential investors. It aims at turning Greece  into a big Special Economic Zone for investors. What is not mentioned in  this narrative is that not only the social cost is going to be  tremendous but also that low labour cost competitiveness necessarily  would lead to a hopeless 'race to the bottom,' since there are always  going to be countries, even in the close vicinity such as Bulgaria, with  lower wages. Moreover, it is a well known fact that competitiveness  does not rely only on labour cost but also on productivity and this has  to do with infrastructure, knowledge, collective experience and ability,  exactly what is being dramatically eroded by the current economic and  social situation in Greece.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;What is missing from this narrative is the crisis of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurozone" target="_blank"&gt;Eurozone&lt;/a&gt; and of the whole &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Integration" target="_blank"&gt;European Integration&lt;/a&gt;  project. It is becoming obvious that the problem is the euro, as a  common currency in a region marked by great divergences in productivity  and competitiveness. The euro in a previous period functioned as a  constant pressure for capitalist restructuring through competitive  pressure, but at the same time it created increased imbalances, mainly  to the benefit of European core countries such as Germany. In a period  of capitalist crisis the euro only makes things worse, increasing  imbalances and deteriorating the sovereign debt crisis. That is why the  crisis of the Eurozone is a crucial aspect of the current global  capitalist crisis and one of the main failures of neoliberalism.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;Europe: Reactionary and Authoritarian Mutation&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;div&gt;At the same time, the European Union is going through a reactionary  and authoritarian mutation. This is the logic of the European Economic  Governance, as inscribed in the proposed new fiscal Eurotreaty.  According to this member-states are going to include austerity measures  such as balanced budgets in their national constitutions and European  Union mechanisms will have the power to intervene and impose huge fines  and funding cuts whenever they think that a member-state is not prudent  enough with its finances. And to this end the 'expertise' of the IMF in  imposing austerity and privatization is also used. The prevailing logic  is one of limited sovereignty and to this direction Greece is a testing  ground. Already under the terms of the bailout packages by the  EU-ECB-IMF troika, there are supervision mechanisms in place in all  Greek government ministries which dictate policies in an almost  neocolonial way. This is going to be the norm if the logic of European  Economic Governance is imposed. That is why although the current Greek  government is acting in an almost servile way toward the EU, it is only  receiving humiliating blows.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;The European Union is rapidly becoming the most reactionary and  undemocratic institution on the European continent since Nazism. Talking  about a 'democratic deficit' is not enough. What we are dealing with is  an aggressive attempt toward a post-democratic condition, with limited  sovereignty and accountability and little or no room for political  debate and confrontation regarding economic policy choices, since these  are to be dictated by markets through the mechanisms of EU supervision.  Seeing ex-ECB central bankers becoming prime-ministers, such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Monti" target="_blank"&gt;Mario Monti&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papademos" target="_blank"&gt;Lucas Papademos&lt;/a&gt;, is more than symbolic.&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;img alt="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;But putting the blame only on the current aggressively neoliberal and  almost neocolonial configuration of the EU is not enough. The most  aggressive sectors of the Greek capital (banks, construction, tourism,  shipping industry, energy), are openly supporting this strategy.  Although sectors of capital have suffered from the prolonged recession,  and despite the fact that the crisis has curtailed plans for a leading  role in the Balkans, the dominant fractions are investing upon  austerity, workplace despotism and doing away with all forms of workers&amp;#39;  rights as a means to regain profitability. However, the problem with  this strategy is that an increase in exports cannot possibly compensate  for the shrinking of domestic demand, which can affect even dominant  sectors of capital.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;The Papademos government has been trying to pass the terms of this  devastating austerity package by ideologically blackmailing Greek  society through the threat of default and exit from the Eurozone. But  the question is not if Greece is going to default but how. The measures  imposed are simply leading to some form of creditor led default – they  have already taken the steps of debt restructuring and 'haircut' of  previous debt – with society taking the full cost.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;Radical Alternatives&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;div&gt;That is why Greece defaulting on its own sovereign terms, that is  choosing the immediate stoppage of debt payments and of annulment of  debt, is the only viable way to avoid social default. At the same time  it is also necessary to immediately exit the Eurozone. Stoppage of debt  payments and reclaiming monetary sovereignty will help public spending  on immediate social needs and will help stop the erosion of the  productive base by imports. It is not a nationalist choice, as some  tendencies of the Greek and European Left have argued, but the only way  to fight the systemic violence of the current policies of the EU.  Moreover, it is truly internationalist in the sense of the first step  toward dismantling the aggressive neoliberal monetary and political  configuration of the EU, something which is obviously in the interest of  the subaltern classes all over Europe.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;Stoppage of payments to the debt and exiting the Euro are not simple  technical solutions. They must be part of a broader set of necessary  radical measures that must include nationalization of banks and critical  infrastructure, capital controls and income redistribution. But even  these measures are not enough, what is needed is a radical alternative  economic paradigm in a non-capitalist direction, that must be based on  public ownership, new forms of democratic planning and workers&amp;#39; control,  alternative non-commercial distribution networks, and a collective  effort toward regaining control of social productive capabilities.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;Rethinking the possibility of such radical alternatives is not a  simple intellectual exercise. It is also an urgent political exigency.  Against the current ideological blackmail and the attempt by the  government, the ruling classes and the EU to present extreme austerity  as the only solution, what is needed is not just to say no to austerity  but to bring back confidence to the possibility of alternatives.  Hegemony in the last instance is about who has the ability to articulate  a coherent discourse about how a country and a society is going to  produce, cater for social needs, be organized and governed. The crisis  of neoliberal hegemony is indeed opening up a political and ideological  space for the emergence of such a counter-hegemonic alternative, but it  is not going to last for ever. Moreover, in the absence of a positive  vision the ruling classes are aiming at individualized desperation and  sense of defeat as a means to maintain dominance. Rebuilding people&amp;#39;s  confidence in the possibility of alternatives requires the collective  work for a radical program based upon the experiences emerging in the  terrain of struggles. This is one of the most urgent challenges the  Greek Left is facing.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; Rebuilding people&amp;#39;s confidence in the possibility of alternatives  requires the collective work for a radical program based upon the  experiences emerging in the terrain of struggles. This is one of the  most urgent challenges the Greek Left is facing. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;Despite the fact that a coalition government of 'national unity'  under Papademos was practically imposed in November the political crisis  is far from over. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PASOK" target="_blank"&gt;PASOK&lt;/a&gt;, the Socialist Party is facing its biggest crisis, the conservative &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Democracy_%28Greece%29" target="_blank"&gt;New Democracy&lt;/a&gt;  is facing increased pressure from its base not to accept the measures,  while the far-right have exited the coalition government. 22 members of  parliament from PASOK and 21 from New Democracy voted against the loan  agreement and were subsequently expelled from their respective parties,  marking a new phase in an open political crisis.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;The extreme pressures from the troika, with functionaries of the IMF  such as Pool Thomsen acting as colonial Governors only makes things  worse. Even though the agreement was passed through parliament, since  the PASOK and New Democracy had a combined majority that could  compensate for dissenting parliamentarians, the political system is  being stressed to its limits. Attempts to create new political parties  are under way, including an attempt toward a "Papademos" party that  could gather all those supporting 'regime change,' but they are far from  gaining any momentum.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;In such a conjuncture the Left is getting increased support, but at  the same time is showing the limits of its strategy and program. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYRIZA" target="_blank"&gt;SYRIZA&lt;/a&gt;  (Coalition of the Radical Left) is still insisting in the fantasy of a  democratic EU and refuses to bring forward demands such as the exit from  the euro. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KKE" target="_blank"&gt;KKE&lt;/a&gt;,  the Communist Party, despite its radical anti-capitalist and anti-EU  positions, has sectarian tactics and underestimates the necessity for an  immediate transitory program. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANTARSYA" target="_blank"&gt;ANTARSYA&lt;/a&gt;  the anti-capitalist Left, has played an important role in the struggles  and in articulating political goals such as the annulment of debt and  the exit from the euro, but does not have the necessary access to large  layers of the subaltern classes. What is needed is radical recomposition  of the Greek Left, both in the sense of the collective elaboration of a  radical alternative that can create the possibility of counter-hegemony  and of a radical Left Front that could represent the emerging new  subaltern unity evident in mass demonstrations and strikes, in forms of  self-organization, in networks of solidarity, in collective experiences  of struggle.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;Currently Greece is entering a new phase of the protracted people&amp;#39;s  war against the policies of the EU-ECB-IMF troika. The 48hr general  strike on 10 and 11 February and the mass demonstrations and &lt;a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/296781/20120210/greece-protest-photos-2012-austerity.htm" target="_blank"&gt;street clashes&lt;/a&gt;  on 12 February have become the new turning points in the struggle. The  'people&amp;#39;s war' is far from over. Facing the danger of an extreme  historical backwardness, we refuse to despair. We insist on the 'windows  of opportunity' for social change the current situation opens. We shall  fight to the end. •&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;Panagiotis Sotiris is an academic and activist who lives on the island of Crete, Greece.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;                 &lt;div style="color:#fff;min-height:0"&gt;__._,_.___&lt;/div&gt;                      &lt;div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:10px;white-space:nowrap;color:#666;padding-top:15px"&gt;       &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Palash Biswas&lt;br&gt;Pl Read:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://nandigramunited-banga.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://nandigramunited-banga.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4054889382959863533-6107678731352489018?l=singurrevolts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singurrevolts.blogspot.com/feeds/6107678731352489018/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4054889382959863533&amp;postID=6107678731352489018' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4054889382959863533/posts/default/6107678731352489018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4054889382959863533/posts/default/6107678731352489018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singurrevolts.blogspot.com/2012/02/fwd-bangla-vision-greece-from-despair.html' title='Fwd: [bangla-vision] Greece: From Despair to Resistance'/><author><name>Palash Biswas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07741662018019801640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4054889382959863533.post-654563213330760641</id><published>2012-02-16T06:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-16T06:50:05.144-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Fwd: [bangla-vision] How the Arab League Has Become a Tool of Western Imperialism</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="gmail_quote"&gt;---------- Forwarded message ----------&lt;br&gt;From: &lt;b class="gmail_sendername"&gt;Romi Elnagar&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;a href="mailto:bluesapphire48@yahoo.com"&gt;bluesapphire48@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; Date: Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 7:14 AM&lt;br&gt;Subject: [bangla-vision] How the Arab League Has Become a Tool of Western Imperialism&lt;br&gt;To: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;   &lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;           &lt;div style&gt; &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;div&gt;   &lt;div&gt;       &lt;div&gt;                     &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" width="100%"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan="2" align="left" valign="top"&gt;&lt;div&gt;How the Arab League Has Become a Tool of Western Imperialism &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;br&gt; &lt;div&gt;by  Finian  Cunningham&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td rowspan="1" align="left" width="1"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align="right"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan="2" align="left" nowrap&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/" target="_blank"&gt;Global Research&lt;/a&gt;, February 9, 2012&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It's an intrigue befitting the machinations of  classical colonialism in past centuries, such as the Sykes-Picot  carve-up of the Middle Eastern Levant territories, or the betrayal of  the Arabs after World War I, or the theft of Mesopotamia's oil by  British capitalists.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Only this time, it is Arabs who are helping the neocolonial powers to deceive and subjugate other Arabs. Enter the Arab League.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Over the past year, the 22-member organization has  emerged as a useful deceptive cover for Western powers as they seek to  redraw the political contours of the Arab World, and beyond, for their  own strategic interests.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;The momentous popular upheavals that began in early  2011 across the Arab World have in many ways been co-opted or  manipulated by Western imperialist powers to minimize democratic gains  and to refashion the political map to their continuing advantage. A feat  of achievement considering that these same powers have for decades  supported the repressive regimes that have inflicted so much misery and  suffering.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;The leitmotif for Western intervention is  "responsibility to protect" (R2P) – the notion that these powers are  motivated by concern for human rights and the protection of civilian  lives. But given that the United States, Britain, France and other NATO  states have been conducting criminal wars of aggression over the past  decade in mainly Muslim lands, with a death toll exceeding one million  and casualties amounting to many more millions, these powers found  themselves with a huge credibility problem when it came to contriving a  pretext to intervene in the Arab upheavals.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;What better than to shroud the Western agenda for  intervention in Arab affairs with an appearance of Arab support? The  League of Arab States has fulfilled this role. Since its inception in  1945, it has only ever suspended two member states. The first of these  was Libya in March 2011; the second is Syria, suspended eight months  later in November.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ostensibly, the Arab League has been motivated to  take such measures because it purportedly shares the concern of  Washington, London, Paris, for the safety of civilians being violently  repressed by their rulers. Without the League's sanction, the  intervention of Western powers would ring decidedly hollow and smack of  old-fashioned colonialism. This is in fact what it is, but the addition  of Arab voices to the Western sanctimonious chorus lends a crucial  veneer of international solidarity.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;The arrangement works like this: foment violence and  instability within the country of choice, arm dissident groups, and  direct these same groups with covert special forces; when government  forces move to quell the insurrection, then accuse them of violating  human rights. The Arab League then suspends the country, marking it out  for international pariah status, which in turn provides a pretext for  Western powers to mount military strikes, committing atrocities in the  name of "responsibility to protect", and engineering regime change in  the interests of the Western powers. It's neocolonialism in Arab lands –  with the help of other Arab states.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Libya can be seen as a dress rehearsal for this  routine, which is now being played out feverishly with Syria. Recall  that it was the spurning of Libya in March by other League members that  immediately presaged the seven-month NATO aerial bombardment of that  country, resulting in possibly thousands of civilian deaths, a crime  that is not yet fully realized because of a corporate-controlled media  blackout, but a despicable crime nevertheless with bloodied Arab hands  involved.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;It appears that the Arab League is now taking on an  even more pronounced role as the routine finesses. Clearly in Syria what  is happening is an insurrection that is being fomented and armed by  foreign governments, with Turkey and Saudi Arabia taking a lead role in  arming the so-called Free Syrian Army against the state forces of  President Bashar Al Assad.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;And it was the Arab League that brought the motion  last week at the UN Security Council aimed at shackling the Assad  government and setting it up for Libya-style NATO military intervention.  The veto by Russia and China has for the moment derailed that plan. No  doubt, Russia and China have learnt the lesson of Libya where a similar  Security Council sanction was used by Western powers to launch a  blitzkrieg on that country – in the name of the specious R2P.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;The insidious role of the Arab League as the West's  hound-dog can be gleaned from the comment by British Foreign Secretary  William Hague following the Russian and Chinese veto at the UN.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Hague said: "Russia and China faced a simple choice  today: would they support the people of Syria and the Arab League, or  not? They decided not to, and instead sided with the Syrian regime and  its brutal suppression of the Syrian people in support of their national  interests."&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;This is British spin on facts and truth at its best.  Firstly, Russia and China decided to side with the "Syrian regime"  because – despite biased Western media coverage – the government of  Assad appears to retain the support of the Syrian people, and therefore  it retains sovereign legitimacy. And the "brutal repression" that the  solemn Hague speaks of relates to violence that Western and foreign Arab  states have assiduously fomented in Syria, as they did in Libya.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Secondly, the position of Russia and China concurs  with that of the Arab League's own observer mission to Syria. The  mission actually reported that much of the violence was being conbducted  by an &amp;quot;armed entity&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;armed opposition groups&amp;quot; involved in the  killing of civilians – flatly contradicting the Western corporate  media's portrayal of unilateral state brutality. Indeed, the observer  mission was subsequently cancelled by the League's secretariat because  the mission was exposing this Western disinformation [1]. So, far from  not supporting the Arab League, as Britain's William Hague contends,  Russia and China have acted more consistently with the League's observer  mission. It is the executive of the League that has not supported their  own people on the ground with regard to accurately reporting the  situation in Syria.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Thirdly, note the way the British Foreign Secretary  emphasizes that Russia and China "did not support the Arab League" in  its move to have Syria sanctioned. Those few words blow the cover of the  Arab League's real purpose.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;For it is the Arab League that is serving as a stamp  of moral and political legitimacy for Western military aggression in  Syria in the same way as Libya before. Washington, London and other  Western powers are disguising their neocolonial strategy under an Arab  cover of humanitarian concern and Arab League states are obliging for  their own selfish interests.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;The bigger picture here is the Western ploy of  manipulating restive Arab populations to engineer regime change where  the incumbent government is considered inconvenient to Western strategic  interests. Syria is a major prize in that its support for Palestinian  rights against Western-backed Israeli aggression is but one of many  inconveniences. Its backing for the Hezbollah resistance against  American imperialism in the Middle East is another. Of most immediate  concern to Washington and allies is beyond Syria itself – its long-time  alliance with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The US and its allies are  convulsed by the desire for regime change in Tehran. Taking out Assad's  Syria is a long-held Western roadmap on the way to taking out Iran.  Syria's present fate of being in Western crosshairs was probably sealed  when it rebuffed Washington's overtures for a deal against Iran back in  February 2010 [2].&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;But the US and Western military roadmap goes beyond  re-carving the Middle East. As Michel Chossudovsky cogently explains in  his new book&lt;em&gt;, Towards a World War III Scenario&lt;/em&gt;, Washington's  military roadmap is aimed at global dominance in which hegemony over the  vast energy-producing Middle East and Central Asian regions is crucial  to marginalizing the heavyweight rivals of Russia and China. The  alliance between the latter two and both Syria and Iran only gives these  current targets added impetus for Western regime change.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Getting back to the treacherous role of the Arab  League in serving the Western powers' agenda, it is surely a bitter  irony that one of the founding tenets of the League is to "defend the  independence and sovereignty" of its members. Syria, which was one of  the original seven founders of the League in 1945, is being stabbed in  the back by its fellow members precisely to have its independence and  sovereignty attacked. And it is the rump of Persian Gulf Arab states  within the organization that has emerged as the most treacherous. Saudi  Arabia and Qatar, along with the other Gulf Cooperation Council states  of Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, have been most  vocal in lending Arab denunciations of Libya and Syria and creating the  pretext for Western aggression.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;However, deploying these Arab dupes is where Western  pretensions of supporting democracy and human rights become unstuck. The  Persian Gulf monarchs have been the most repressive towards any popular  stirrings for democracy within their own countries. Described variously  as kingdoms, shaikdoms, emirates, or sultanates, these states are  invariably ruled with iron rods by family dynasties that control their  people as little more than serfs. It is surely ridiculous when the  absolute despotic rulers of Saudi Arabia and Qatar in particular exhort  the Syrian government to enact greater political reforms when these same  countries do not brook any dissent and where it is a crime punishable  by law to publicly criticize the royal rulers.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Over the past year, Saudi Arabia has cracked down  murderously against peaceful protesters within its own borders. And it  was Saudi Arabia – where women are flogged for driving cars unchaperoned  and where public executions by beheading are carried every year – that  led the invasion force of Gulf Cooperation Council states into Bahrain  last Spring to ruthlessly crush peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations.  In Bahrain, Saudi-led Gulf forces continue with Washington and London's  support to murder women and children in the streets and in their homes  [3].&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;The pay-off for these Arab despots is that they  continue to enjoy Western patronage and support in suppressing their own  people. Additionally, the Sunni monarchs share the Western agenda to  destroy the Syrian-Iranian alliance, which garners much greater regional  popular respect and influence than any of the Persian Gulf tyrants.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;The illegitimacy of Western powers meddling in Syrian  affairs and elsewhere and the risible alliance with repressive Arab  states in pushing this agenda is only obscured because of the  corporate-controlled media's deliberate blindness towards the deception.  An honest appraisal of the protagonists – the Western criminal  governments and their Arab tyrants – is, to put it bluntly, a sick joke.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Finian Cunningham is Global Research's Middle East and East Africa Correspondent&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

 Political Transformation in America: Effectuating Real Democracy by a Voters' Rights Amendment&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; By William Cox&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Global Research, February 12, 2012&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; URL of this article: &lt;a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;amp;aid=29246" target="_blank"&gt;www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;amp;aid=29246&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Reversing the Supreme Court's gift of constitutional rights to corporations in Citizens United will not cure the political ills weakening the sinews of democracy that bind the United States. The nation was infected at birth and it will continue to be diseased until its government is transformed into one that is responsive to the needs and ambitions of ordinary people, irrespective of wealth or influence.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Although Citizens United unleashed the overwhelming power of the wealthy elite, corporations, and other special interest groups to purchase the major benefits of government while avoiding the burden of taxation, the danger presented by the power of money has been a risk to democracy throughout American history.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Thomas Jefferson hoped that &amp;quot;we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, . . .&amp;quot; Almost two hundred years later, Franklin Roosevelt said, &amp;quot;We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; A number of organizations have attracted widespread bipartisan support in their efforts to overturn Citizens United. Even if they succeed in persuading Congress to enact an amendment depriving corporations of constitutional rights and if they convince three fourths of the states to ratify the amendment, the problems that existed the day before the decision was announced will remain and will continue to be as threatening as ever.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Legalized bribery in the form of campaign contributions will still influence the actions of elected officials; candidates will still avoid taking positions on critical issues and will ignore the concerns of voters; political parties will still enact policy &amp;quot;platforms&amp;quot; designed to attract voters and will ignore their promises once their candidates are elected, and voters will continue to be uninformed and turned off by elective politics.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; If they are to ever achieve true representative democracy and the freedom and opportunity inherent in its promise, the People of the United States must transform their government, rather than to reform or restore it back to something which will not serve or protect their best interests.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Public Policy&lt;br&gt; The essence of politics is the formulation of policy, and the manner and means by which public policy is made and effectuated by laws and regulations defines the very nature of government.&lt;br&gt; The effectiveness of a democracy can be measured by the degree that its voters have an influence in the development and articulation of government policy, either directly or through their elected representatives. Conversely, curtailment of that power results in an oligarchy or plutocracy, rather than a democracy.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; The Existing Public Policy System.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Presently, political parties and candidates identify their concept of the issues confronting the offices sought, and they present their policies regarding the various issues. Citizens then cast their votes for the candidates they hope are best prepared to solve the problems they consider to be the most serious.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; The current process presents a number of problems. Left to their own devices, politicians ignore the most critical issues and concentrate their resources and rhetoric on personalities and negative campaigning designed to lower the estimation of their opponents in the eyes of the voters. In addition, candidates studiously avoid taking any position on the real issues they will face, believing they will lose rather than gain votes by taking a stand.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Specifically, during presidential elections, the political parties construct &amp;quot;platforms&amp;quot; defining their proposed policies on the issues. These artfully drawn platforms are designed to appeal to the maximum number of voters, while retaining a sufficient degree of ambiguity to avoid all accountability in the future.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; If the presidential platform was a blueprint for the construction of a residence, the house would be unattractive, unsafe, and uninhabitable. Even so, American voters continue to attend the open houses held by slick political salesmen, and more often than not they are forced to buy the lesser of two evils, with the ever diminishing hope that their purchase will actually live up to its promises.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; The Politics of Wealth.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The development of meaningful public policy also suffers because the two main political parties have become virtually indistinguishable. They primarily rely on the same corporations, financial institutions and wealthy elite for major campaign financing, and consequently, irrespective of their &amp;quot;platforms,&amp;quot; they both remain beholden to the same narrow constituency and its special interests, rather than the health and welfare of those who cast the ballots.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; David and Charles Koch hosted a billionaire summit conference in the last week of January at a golf resort in Southern California to plot strategy and raise money for the 2012 elections. This was not the first time the wealthy elite has united to make and control the U.S. political agenda, nor will it be the last.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; America's plutocracy did not suddenly pop into existence from another dimension. It is the dividend returned on a massive investment over the past 40 years by family foundations, such as those established by Lynde and Harry Bradley, John Olin, Sarah Scaife and Smith Richardson, and by individuals including Bunker and Nelson Hunt, Joseph Coors, Richard Mellon Scaife, and the Koch Brothers.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; The centers, institutes, and foundations endowed and supported by corporations and the wealthy elite have come to very effectively formulate and market their agenda of privilege for every branch of the government. Burton Pines of the Heritage Foundation unabashedly said, &amp;quot;Our targets are the policymakers and opinion-making elite. Not the public.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; One of the most effective of these groups has been the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies, which has successfully staffed a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court with its members. They have produced a series of decisions, including Citizens United, in collaboration with their wealthy and corporate sponsors in the class war being waged against the American people.&lt;br&gt;  Special interest pressure on government does not come only from the right. The labor movement has made significant contributions of money and volunteers to the Democratic Party in the past, but the decline of labor unions over the past 30 years has reduced the influence of organized labor over the Democratic &amp;quot;platform.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; The Democratic Party has historically represented the interests of workers and the poor; however, both sitting and former members of the party now peddle their allegiance to corporations and the wealthy elite. The newsletter, First Street, recently published its top-ten list of Washington lobbyists. The top four were all former senators and congressmen from the Democratic Party.&lt;br&gt;  Similarly, the Republican Party and the &amp;quot;Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America&amp;quot; no longer represent the needs and aspirations of the millions of small business owners in the United States. Two thirds of small business owners revealed in a recent poll that they have been hurt by Citizens United, and 88% viewed money as playing a negative role in politics.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Lobbyists.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The revolving door between the Capitol Building and K Street provides access to both sides of the aisle. Currently, there are 285 former members registered as congressional lobbyists, with many others, including Newt Gingrich, offering &amp;quot;strategic advice&amp;quot; or public relation services to corporate and special interest clients.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; There are tens of thousands of registered lobbyists in Washington, D.C. representing thousands of corporations, trade associations and interest groups. These individuals will not be laid off or made redundant by a reversal of Citizens United.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Lobbyists have been working the corridors of power throughout the history of the United States, and they will continue to cut the line in front of ordinary people, as long as they are allowed to get away with it.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; What then can be done to transform the government to one which provides the voters, of every political persuasion, with a stronger voice in the formulation of policy?&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A National Policy Referendum&lt;br&gt; The concept of &amp;quot;policy&amp;quot; is widely misunderstood. Policy is simply a guideline or a path to a goal or objective. It differs from laws, rules and regulations, which are mandatory.&lt;br&gt; Moreover, a policy referendum differs substantially from the initiatives and propositions that voters often find on their state and local ballots. A policy referendum does not make law; it creates policy.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Through their answers to a series of referendum questions, voters can effectively establish policy guidelines to be followed and implemented by those they elect. If an elected official fails to follow the people's policy, then he or she has to be prepared to justify the deviation at the next election.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Consequences.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A National Policy Referendum can produce a number of positive results:&lt;br&gt; First, the grassroots (and netroots) movement that compels the enactment of a referendum, whether by constitutional amendment or by congressional action will, in and of itself, transform the government. Once true representative democracy is effectuated, government will never again be the same.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Second, the referendum process will result in a transformation of apathetic voters of every political persuasion into a more engaged, informed and motivated electorate. Once the power to create policy is realized by voters, they will naturally become more questioning and inquisitive. Moreover, they will likely insist on civics classes in public schools to better prepare young people to evaluate and resist political propaganda and negative advertising in the future.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Third, Congress will be compelled to identify actual problems, rather than the profit-motivated issues promoted by their corporate sponsors in the military-industrial complex and the health care, financial, and petroleum industries.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; In a representative democracy, it will necessarily be the responsibility of Congress to decide upon the most critical issues facing the nation during presidential elections; however, the Internet Age provides myriad opportunities for public participation in the process and for political parties to promote competing questions.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Fourth, candidates for all elective offices, particularly presidential candidates, will be forced to take a public stand on a range of real problems. Undoubtedly, politicians will try to lie and dissemble about their positions on issues, but much like witnesses under cross-examination in a court case, they can be forced to simply answer yes or no to the most important questions.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Finally, referendum voters will be much more inclined to study the issues, to confront their own prejudices and to challenge the positions of others before arriving at well-thought-out conclusions. Thoughtful answers to a policy referendum at the conclusion of an educational process are far more instructive and useful than quick answers offered during surprise opinion polls.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Irrespective of their intelligence, level of education, or station in life, ordinary people are legally required to file income tax returns each year, as the government dips into their pockets to fund its operations and to pay the salaries of their representatives. If people are smart enough to pay taxes and brave enough to die in the wars started by their government, they also possess the ability to decide public policy.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; The collective wisdom of motivated and well-informed voters in a free society is a powerful force that will better protect its members against oppression by their own government and the people of other countries from the wars started for the financial benefit of corporate sponsors.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; The People's Government&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The sanctity of elections in a representative democracy is directly dependent upon the strength of voter turnouts, which in turn depends on the trust of voters that their vote will make a difference, and by the integrity of the ballot box, which insures that all valid votes are properly counted.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Voter Participation.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In the United States, voter turnouts are historically much lower than in most other established democracies, and they have been steadily decreasing since peaking at 65% in 1960. The low point was reached in 1988 when barely half of the eligible voters appeared at the polls. Since then, the turnout has bounced up and down depending upon ballot issues, the closeness of the election and whether voters felt their lives would be affected or changed by the result.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Even within the vagaries of turnouts, percentages are closely correlated with income, with 86% of people earning more than $75,000 voting, as compared to 52% of those with incomes of less than $15,000. Unsurprisingly, legislators are far more responsive to the issues that concern high-income voters.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; The best way to eliminate or minimize these disparities in participation is to hold elections on a national paid voting holiday to celebrate the federal elections held every two years and to honor the voters, who are the most important element of a democracy.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; A measure of the character of a person should not be which party, candidate or cause he or she supports, but whether or not the person actively participates in their government by casting a wise vote. Effective voting must become a sacrament in the nation's political religion.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Voter Suppression.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Fair elections are best guaranteed by large turnouts; however, increasingly, there are political strategies that seek to subvert the process by actively suppressing voter turnout by those of opposing viewpoints.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Rather than encouraging voters to support their position or candidate, campaigns engage in voter suppression efforts to discourage whole classes of people from exercising their right to vote.&lt;br&gt; Suppression can operate indirectly through legislative processes, such as enacting unreasonable photo identification laws making it more difficult or expensive for low income, minority or elderly voters to register or to cast ballots, or by directly intimidating voters by threatening challenges at the polling place.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Voter suppression can also take the form of mailings or telephone calls directing voters to the wrong polling place, by intentionally misleading voters about voting requirements, or by providing too few polling places in opposition precincts.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Legislative restrictions on registration or voting must balance the benefits of an increased voter turnout with the risk of voting fraud, and all forms of intentional voter suppression should be prohibited.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Computerized Voting.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; It might appear on the surface that computerized voting could supply a modern and secure method of voting; however, evidence of its vulnerabilities continues to accumulate.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In addition to the facts that voting machines are manufactured and marketed by political partisans who refuse to disclose their operating codes, that the computers can be and have been easily hacked, and that voting machines are mechanically and electronically unreliable and often break down during elections, they do not produce an auditable paper ballot completed and verified by the voter.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Paper Ballots.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; If American voters are to regain and retain control over their elections, they must refuse to use computerized voting machines or any other electronic ballot. Instead, voters must insist on hand-countable paper ballots upon which to record their choices.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Even still, paper ballots can be optically scanned and quickly counted, but most importantly, each ballot is, indisputably, evidence of an individual's vote and, collectively, paper ballots serve as a tangible symbol of democracy in action.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Write-in Voting.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Once in the voting booth, instead of responding like laboratory animals pushing a button in response to the stimulus of the latest ten-second television attack ad, voters should take time to carefully consider the issues and candidates presented on their ballots by the various political parties.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Once a decision is reached, each voter should have the choice of demonstrating his or her literacy and inherent political power by voting on the most critical issues and by clearly writing in his or her personal choice for president of the United States, whether or not the name is printed on the ballot.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; So what if it takes a little longer to count, or recount, the ballots? Isn't delayed gratification a small price to pay for ensuring that voters control elections, rather than those who profit from elections?&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; If voter turnouts were to dramatically increase, and if only 15 to 25 percent of voters were to cast write-in votes, trust that the politicians would quickly register their willingness to accept every write-in vote naming them for any office of public trust and that they will be scrambling to ensure that all write-in votes cast for them are legally counted.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; The Future.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Young Americans continue to be grievously wounded and killed in their nation's wars to defend a &amp;quot;government of the people, by the people and for the people.&amp;quot; The question that must be answered now is what kind of government will these young people have in the future?&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Will it be a despotic government enabled by lazy and easily misled voters, who foolishly rely on robots to count their ballots?&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; More likely, the People of the United States, of every political party, will prove once again they are smart enough to figure out they are being taken advantage of, and they will have the courage to do something about it. They just need to figure out what that &amp;quot;something&amp;quot; is.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; A Voters' Rights Amendment&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Since its creation two hundred years ago, the People of the United States have traveled a long path toward achieving true representative democracy. Initially, only male property owners were allowed to cast ballots, but along the way the franchise has been extended, with a few exceptions, to all adult citizens.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; With its decision in Citizens United, the Supreme Court not only reversed two hundred years of progress toward a democracy for all of the people, it slammed the door shut and handed over the keys to corporations and other moneyed interests.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Amending the Constitution.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; There has been a groundswell of bipartisan opposition to Citizens United, and a number of organizations representing tens of thousands of voters have proposed constitutional amendments to overcome the decision.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Move to Amend is the best known and best organized of the opposition groups, and its proposed amendment aims to reverse the granting of corporate personhood and the equation of money and free speech ordered by the Court. Its proposal follows in the first three sections:&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Section 1&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The rights protected by the Constitution of the United States are the rights of natural persons only.&lt;br&gt; ?&lt;br&gt; Artificial entities, such as corporations, limited liability companies, and other entities, established by the laws of any State, the United States, or any foreign state shall have no rights under this Constitution and are subject to regulation by the People, through Federal, State, or local law.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; The privileges of artificial entities shall be determined by the People, through Federal, State, or local law, and shall not be construed to be inherent or inalienable.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Section 2&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Federal, State and local government shall regulate, limit, or prohibit contributions and expenditures, including a candidate's own contributions and expenditures, for the purpose of influencing in any way the election of any candidate for public office or any ballot measure.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Federal, State and local government shall require that any permissible contributions and expenditures be publicly disclosed.&lt;br&gt; The judiciary shall not construe the spending of money to influence elections to be speech under the First Amendment.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Section 3&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Nothing contained in this amendment shall be construed to abridge the freedom of the press.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The V.R.A.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A Voters' Rights Amendment securing voter control over the government must not only reverse corporate personhood and provide for the control of money in politics, it must also clearly establish voter primacy as a matter of inherent constitutional right and it must include a solid foundation upon which to build a true and long-lasting representative democracy for future generations. Following is a working blueprint for such a structure:&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Section 4&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The right of all citizens of the United States to cast effective votes in all elections is inherent under this Constitution and shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Section 5&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; During the calendar year preceding a presidential election, Congress shall solicit public comment regarding the political issues that most concern the People.&lt;br&gt; Prior to the end of the calendar year preceding a presidential election, Congress shall adopt a joint resolution enumerating the 12 most critical policy questions that should be addressed by the next President and Congress.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Failure of Congress to adopt a joint resolution prior to the end of the calendar year shall result in the disqualification of all sitting members of Congress to be eligible for reelection.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Section 6&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Federal elections conducted every second year for Senators and Representatives shall be held on a national voter's holiday, with full pay for all citizens who cast a ballot.&lt;br&gt; Federal elections shall be conducted on uniform, hand-countable paper ballots and, for the presidential election, ballots shall include the 12 most critical policy questions identified by Congress, each to be answered yes or no by the voters.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Paper ballots shall provide space allowing voters to handwrite in their choice for all elective federal offices, if they choose, and all such votes shall be counted.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Section 7&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In balancing the public benefit of maximum voter participation with the prevention of voting fraud, Congress and the States shall not impose any unreasonable restriction on registration or voting by the People.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The intentional suppression of voting is hereby prohibited and, in addition to any other penalty imposed by law, any person convicted of the intentional suppression of voting shall be ineligible for public office for a period of five years.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Transformation&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The United States Constitution once stood as a model for new nations; however, today it is viewed by many as an outdated and difficult-to-amend document that guarantees few rights, when compared to other established democracies.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; There is an inherent right in a representative democracy to cast an effective vote, and a failure by the government to protect that right nullifies the electoral process.&lt;br&gt; By amending their constitution to ensure the primacy of voters and their right to control their government, the People of the United States will once again demonstrate an evolutionary model for democratic governments around the world.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Transformation of the United States government to a true representative democracy is no longer an option.

So the attack on an automobile outside the Israeli embassy in New Delhi could easily have  been carried out by an Indian group. Israel's government, a master of spin and propaganda, immediately blamed the bombing on Iran and Hizbullah. But there is no evidence for this cynical allegation, which makes no sense. India is Iran's economic lifeline, and Tehran would not likely risk such an operation at this time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt" lang="EN"&gt;India gets 12% of its oil from Iran and sees an $8 billion annual export opportunity in filling the trade vacuum left by unilateral US and European boycotts of Iran. Contrary to a bad Reuters article, Indian officials denied Tuesday that the bombing would affect trade ties. (Logical because no evidence points to Iran.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt" lang="EN"&gt;Indian investigators are first rate. Based on the modus operandi, their initial thesis is that the attack was the work of the "Indian Mujahidin" group. It had used a similar remote controlled sticky bomb, placed by a motorcyclist, in an attack on Taiwanese tourists outside the Jama Masjid cathedral mosque in 2010. IM is a Sunni group, not connected to Iran, and doesn't like Shiite Muslims (Iranians are Shiites). IM like other Sunni radicals support the Palestinians and they are unhappy with increasingly close ties between India and Israel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt" lang="EN"&gt;American media that just parrot notorious thug, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman in this unlikely allegation are allowing themselves to be used for  propaganda. Why not interview Indian authorities on this matter? They are on the ground and have excellent forensic ("CSI") abilities. Stop being so lazy and blinkered; that isn't journalism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;pre&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email has been scanned by Google email security  &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;                 &lt;div style="color:#fff;min-height:0"&gt;__._,_.___&lt;/div&gt;                      &lt;div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:10px;white-space:nowrap;color:#666;padding-top:15px"&gt;       &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;-- &lt;br&gt;Palash Biswas&lt;br&gt;Pl Read:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://nandigramunited-banga.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://nandigramunited-banga.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4054889382959863533-5082866321317873115?l=singurrevolts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singurrevolts.blogspot.com/feeds/5082866321317873115/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4054889382959863533&amp;postID=5082866321317873115' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4054889382959863533/posts/default/5082866321317873115'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4054889382959863533/posts/default/5082866321317873115'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singurrevolts.blogspot.com/2012/02/fwd-bangla-vision-fw-indian.html' title='Fwd: [bangla-vision] Fw: Indian Investigators do not Suspect Iran in Israel Embassy Blast'/><author><name>Palash Biswas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07741662018019801640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4054889382959863533.post-6150325921997470754</id><published>2012-02-16T06:28:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-16T06:28:40.346-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Fwd: [bangla-vision] Greece in Flames: Prelude to European Revolution?</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="gmail_quote"&gt;---------- Forwarded message ----------&lt;br&gt;From: &lt;b class="gmail_sendername"&gt;Romi Elnagar&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;a href="mailto:bluesapphire48@yahoo.com"&gt;bluesapphire48@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; Date: Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 5:54 AM&lt;br&gt;Subject: [bangla-vision] Greece in Flames:  Prelude to European Revolution?&lt;br&gt;To: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;   &lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;           &lt;div style&gt; &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;div&gt;   &lt;div&gt;       &lt;div&gt;                     &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;A friend in another group posted this lengthy article, and while some of it is a little hard to follow, I am sure it is correct, as I have heard before that Goldman Sachs is responsible for the Greek economic crisis.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Also, I note that Mitchell Cohen, the author, is on the board of WBAI, which is a good thing IMHO.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hajja Romi&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mitchelcohen.com/?p=2084" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.mitchelcohen.com/?p=2084&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;h1&gt;													GREECE IN FLAMES: PRELUDE TO EUROPEAN REVOLUTION?  A DEBATE WITHIN THE LEFT.							&lt;/h1&gt; 			&lt;div&gt;Posted on February 13, 2012 by &lt;a href="http://www.mitchelcohen.com/?author=1" title="Posts by MITCHEL COHEN" target="_blank"&gt;MITCHEL COHEN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  			 							&lt;h3&gt;by Savas Michael-Matsas&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;div&gt;The worst fears of the ruling classes of Greece and Europe are  becoming true: an uncontrollable social explosion is under way in  Greece.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;When these lines are written, late in the night on February 12-13,  2012, the violent clashes and street fights between demonstrators and  the riot police, in the center of Athens and in other cities all over  the country, still continue. The phony "majority" that just voted in  Parliament the new package of measures of social cannibalism imposed by  the troika of the EU, the European Central Bank, and the IMF cannot and  will not stop the Greek social wild fire to expand in the country and  spread beyond Greece, all over Europe and internationally.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The popular rally in Syntagma Square Sunday, February 12 was  literally gigantic: nearly a million people converged in the Square in  front of the Parliament from all the neighborhoods of the Greek capital,  in a mass mobilization that superseded in magnitude and fighting spirit  every previous one, including the huge rallies during the General  Strikes of June and October 2011.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Last week, already two General Strikes had taken place, on February 7  and on February 10-11 but many factors — lack of preparation,  bureaucratic opposition to a real mass mobilization, extremely bad  weather conditions — although significant, they had nothing in common  with what happened on February 12, when the masses flooded the streets  in Athens and nearly all other cities giving a nearly insurrectionary  character to the mobilization.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The riot police, with a prepared plan, attacked the people in  Syntagma from the early moments of the rally, at 5.15 pm. When the well  known composer Theodorakis and the hero of the anti-Nazi resistance  Manolis Glezos, both nearly 90 years old, advanced to enter the  Parliament to make a joint statement of protest, the riot police  attacked them and all the demonstrators in the Square with tons of  chemicals. From that moment the center of Athens was transformed into a  battlefield, while people continued to come en masse from all  directions. In front of the Parliament itself, they have resisted and  remained until 10.30 pm some contingents from the EEK, ANTARSYA, and the  youth of SYRIZA. But all the streets and avenues from Omonia to  Syntagma and even around Acropolis were packed by people resisting the  savage police brutality until late after midnight.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Barricades were erected in some of the streets. Banks, big shops,  cinemas etc., about 40 buildings, were set on fire. The police station  in Exarchia was attacked. A hundred citizens from all age groups were  injured, some of them seriously and brought to the hospital. Another  hundred were arrested, including the demonstrators who had occupied the  Town Hall of Athens. The center of Athens looks today like a bombarded  city.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;It is noteworthy the fact that the Stalinist KKE one more time held  its own independent rally in Omonia Square (they claim to have assembled  50 thousand people) but they avoided to join the many hundreds of  thousands of people in and around Syntagma Square because of the clashes  of the demonstrators with the police, and they remained far way from  the battle, finally dispersing peacefully their contingents. According  to the Stalinist mantra every violent clash with police forces, and any  form of direct action is "a State provocation".&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The popular rebellion is not limited to Athens. In other cities, all  over Greece, from Corfu in the North West and Thessalonica in the North  to Patras in the West and Creta in the South, were and are taking place  mobilizations, demonstrations, occupations of public buildings, town  halls, prefectures etc. Attacks by angry demonstrators against the  political offices of bourgeois members of parliament took place: in  Corfu (North West, Ionian Sea), Agrinion (Western Greece), Iraklion  (Creta, South Aegean Sea) the offices of all local deputies were  destroyed.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The fury of the rapidly impoverished and ruined people was reflected  even in the Parliament, blowing up the bourgeois parliamentary political  system as it used to be the last 38 years, after the fall of the  dictatorship. Although, a two thirds majority of deputies voted for the  barbaric Memorandum imposed by the troika and the current Papadimos  government, the negative vote of an unprecedented large number of  deputies was followed by massive expulsions from the ruling parties  supporting Papadimos — 46 deputies, including founding members or  parliamentary spokesmen of their respective parties, ministers etc.,  were expelled in the middle of the night from the neo-liberal  "socialist" PASOK, the right wing New Democracy and the far right LAOS.  Now in Parliament the second in numbers party is the "Party of the  Expelled," 63 deputies from the beginning of the crisis (PASOK now has  130 deputies from the initial figure of 158, and the New Democracy 62.  The total number of the deputies is 300). The far right LAOS, seeing its  influence shrink dramatically in the polls, voted against the new bail  out, expelling two of its leading members who remained in the government  as ministers and voted in favor.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Nevertheless the Fuhrer of the LAOS, Karatzaferis, said that he will  continue to support the Papadimos government to "save the fatherland  from communism!"&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;A similar statement was made by the leader of the right wing New  Democracy, Antonis Samaras saying that his Party is the last rampart  against "mob rule" — by "mob" meaning the rebelled masses that lean more  and more to the left.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The political personnel of the bourgeoisie is decimated. Many  attempts were made in these last months to create new bourgeois  political parties — and more attempts certainly will come in the next  period with so many bourgeois politicians becoming homeless" after their  expulsion — but they had no success at all so far, disappearing nearly  after their first public appearance.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The political challenge comes to the Left. But the Stalinist KKE  continues its self-centered policy focusing mainly to its own electoral  and organizationally strengthening and keeping the slogan for a workers  people's power" a vague slogan for a very distant future; the  Synaspismos, main force in SYRIZA, looks to the remnants of the excluded  from PASOK to build a kind of "popular front" coalition with  governmental ambitions; and the "Democratic Left," the right wing split  from Synaspismos, thanks to its good results in the polls, becomes a  pole of attraction for all refugees from the right wing of PASOK, hoping  to become a junior partner in a future bourgeois coalition government,  replacing perhaps the far right LAOS.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The lack of any real radical alternative to the collapsing system  from the parliamentary and from the centrist extra-parliamentary Left,  makes the re-groupment of the vanguard fighters, particularly from the  young generation, in a revolutionary internationalist Party of the  proletariat the main challenge and urgent task for our own Party, the  EEK.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;As the social-political explosion is under the way, we keep fighting  with even more determination for an indefinite General Political Strike  to overthrow the government, to break with the dictatorship of the EU  and the IMF, to cancel the debt to the international usurers and to  re-organize the entire economy on new, socialist bases, under workers  power. Our hopes are focused in our class brothers and sisters in Europe  and all over the world to join us in revolutionary struggle as well as  in a revolutionary International needed now more than ever before.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;- Athens, 13 February 2012&lt;/div&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000"&gt;RESPONSE BY PETROS EVDOKAS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;div&gt;Well, it might be a prelude to revolution but it's not yet even a prelude to a revolution within Greece itself.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Popular leaders like Glezos and Theodorakis are the visible part of a  humongous majority of activist-oriented millions of people in the  country who have been organizing (and recently calling openly) for an  uprising. The majority of people are behind this sentiment and support  it, BUT, also the majority of people have the political maturity to  desire an uprising that is as peaceful and mindful as possible.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The arson attacks against more than forty buildings on Sunday that  burned down a large number of shops and buildings that have NOTHING to  do with the regime of Corporate and State oppressors, took place against  the wishes of the people-in-rebellion. They are actions of conscious  and unconscious agents of the regime. If you think this claim is too  extreme, please see the top photo of the new Cyprus IndyMedia article  titled &lt;a href="http://cyprus.calyx.com/node/88" target="_blank"&gt;"This is who burned down Athens"&lt;/a&gt; – it's all in the boots.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;There is nothing "revolutionary" about burning down classical  architecture  buildings that people love and identify with, cafes and  movie theaters that  constitute some of the last remaining humane parts  of the City's downtown.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;At this time, the debate among true and honest revolutionary networks  has not yet concluded on what is the best way to revolution in THIS  juncture. Strikes are more and more organized and well attended, but  takeover strikes (occupations) are only now, in this last year beginning  to appear, and only on a very small scale. Armed response teams capable  of delivering meaningful blows to the regime (meaningful in the  political sense), or capable of defending strikes, occupations, and  protests from the regime, or capable of enforcing direct actions such as  liberation and distribution of food in the cities or the countryside  have not yet been formed because the people still do not support such a  move. It might come to that, but popular awareness, desire and  willingness to engage in the revolution is the one and most important  factor that we need to be in tune with. The only ones engaged in armed  actions in the last few years are the same fake anarchists and regime  provocateurs who repeatedly pull off highly destructive (and sometimes  lethal) actions that erode the peoples' morale.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Nobody wants to be part of a revolution that kills workers, attacks  leftist demonstrators and firebombs small shops, and the people have  repeatedly in the last few years immediately responded to these actions  by pulling away from mass mobilizations. That is EXACTLY the reason why  the regime seeks to instigate such actions, with the help of a few  hundred brainless idiots who think that such behaviour is  "revolutionary".&lt;/div&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000"&gt;YET ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; David Schwartzman writes: Interesting analysis from a militant of  the EEK which in the 2009 legislative election got less than 0.1% of the  vote according to  wiki. Instead of attacking the main left parties,  how about forging unity, starting with the rank and file? Here is  another take:&lt;br&gt;   &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.greenleft.org.au/node/49996" target="_blank"&gt;Greece: A Brutal Experiment on People's Lives&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;by Afrodity Giannakis Thessaloniki via Green Left&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;div&gt;February 12, 2012&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Greek unions launched a two-day general strike on February 10 against  new extreme austerity measures the "troika" of the International  Monetary Fund, European Central Bank and European Union is seeking to  impose on the southern European nation. The deal will give Greece a new  "bail-out" worth 130 billion euros (A$161 billion) in return for fresh  spending cuts.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Amid ongoing street protests and building occupations, the Greek  cabinet approved the deal on February 10. Six cabinet members resigned  in protest. Greek parliament was scheduled to vote on the deal on the  evening of February 12.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;[The vote was 199 in favor and 74 opposed, with 27 abstentions or blank ballots.  - Portside]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Below, &lt;strong&gt;Afrodity Giannakis &lt;/strong&gt;writes from Thessaloniki on the impact of the austerity on Greek society.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I work as a permanent English teacher in a Greek village, where I drive every day from my home in Thessaloniki.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;A few days ago, I was looking for a magazine in my neighbourhood at  about 9am before going to work. I found that all the shops in the block  had put up the shutters, except for one closer to my home, which did not  have the magazine, anyway.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Shops closing down is a common occurrence in neoliberal capitalist  Greece, but the situation has rapidly deteriorated since May 2010. That  was the time of the first memorandum, imposed on Greece by the "troika"  (the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International  Monetary Fund – IMF) and the Greek Panhellenic Socialist Movement  (Pasok) government.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Shop owners are forced to close because of the steep plunge in  consumption, combined with higher government fees and other expenses.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;I drove along the national road to go to work, about 45 kilometres  from Thessaloniki. Until recently I worked 80km away from home. Last  year I worked 700km away and it is highly uncertain where I will be  placed next school year.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Far-away placements have been commonplace for Greek teachers for a  long time. What is new is the rising casualisation, intensification of  work and overall job insecurity.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Now, it is going to be almost impossible for teachers to make ends meet if they have to move away from home.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Having a job at all is also highly uncertain.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The reason is that the troika, in close collaboration with the  unelected Greek government imposed by the troika, has decided on more  public sector sackings.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Crippling cuts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;div&gt;The plans are part of the second memorandum agreement between the troika and the Greek government.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;This memorandum includes cuts of 14.3 billion euros between 2012 and 2015, starting with 3.3 billion euros this year.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;With 11 million Greek people, these sums come up to a high amount per  head. This is all the more shocking if we consider that a huge  proportion of Greek people live in extreme poverty.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The number of Greek people living at or below the poverty line is more than 3 million and rising.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The new agreement includes 150,000 public sector sackings to be be  carried out by 2015. As a start, 15,000 public servants will lose their  jobs this year.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Immediate sackings of 22,500 temporary and casual teachers has also been raised.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The troika has persistently pushed immediate cuts to military  personnel numbers. This may be cause for concern in the light of recent  official statements that anything is possible in Greece.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;From the first memorandum on, measures first raised years ago have  finally been implemented. The attacks on the Greek people seem to be  part of a well thought-out plan.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;For example, the capitalists and their political representatives have  long demanded an end to public service job permanency. They have also  aimed to do away with collective agreements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Furthermore, ex-Pasok prime minister George Papandreou had arranged  to hand Greece over to the IMF before his party won the 2009 elections.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The measures against the Greek people are unprecedented. People are  in a constant state of stress, not knowing what is coming next.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;My friends, colleagues, comrades – most people I come across – don't  seem to smile in the way they used to. They seem thoughtful, less happy,  lost, even depressed.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The immediate effects of the public sector sackings will be higher  unemployment (the official figure is now 20.9%) and deepened recession.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;In my job, after the sackings of temporary and casual teachers,  face-to-face teaching hours will rise for those remaining. Needless to  say, there will not be an accompanying salary rise.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;These austerity measures are taking place against a background of deteriorating conditions for students and teachers.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;There is a shocking shortage in school books, about 2000 schools  closed down in the last school year, class sizes have risen and funding  for education has dropped to 2.75% of the gross national product.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Schools do not have enough funding for photocopying paper or central  heating. In this year's freezing winter, students and teachers have had  lessons with their coats on. Schools have been forced to shut down due  to inadequate heating.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The recession will be worsened by the 22% cut in the minimum wage  (32% for workers under 25). The minimum wage will fall to 600 euros  (A$741) gross a month (473 euros clear, less for young people) from the  739 euros gross specified in the National General Collective Agreement.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The estimated loss is three months wages per year. This comes on top of the huge wage cuts since 2010.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The unemployment benefit, pensions and bonuses will be also be  affected. The dole will go down to 369 euros a month from 461 euros.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The minimum wage cut will trickle down to all wage brackets.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Pensions are also going to be slashed. Pensions in public enterprises  such as the Greek electricity company, as well as salaries and job  permanency, are set to be worst affected. The explanation given is to  make these enterprises more "competitive" before privatisation.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Closing down&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;div&gt;Driving to work costs me almost 300 euros a month, while my salary  has gone down to 800 euros a month clear, from over 1200 before the  first memorandum.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Public service salaries have been cut by about 40% since the first  memorandum. The most recent cuts, of up to 50%, were made last October.  Another big salary cut is planned for later this year.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;I am still managing to hold on to my car; using public transport for work would be very inconvenient.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Many people have given up their cars due to financial hardship.  Soaring petrol prices, as well as rises in car registration and car  insurance fees, have compounded the problem.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;About 160,000 number plates were handed in to the taxation department  at the end of the 2010 financial year. Last year, the number exceeded  250,000.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Not surprisingly, petrol consumption dropped by 22% last year,  causing more than 1500 petrol stations to close in the past two years.  Thousands of jobs were lost as a result.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Driving to work, I took a detour to avoid paying the predatory road  tolls. On top of the high car registration rates and high petrol  consumption tax, Greek people have to pay costly road tolls to private  companies.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;I kept looking for the magazine as I drove slowly through three  villages. The sense of devastation wasn't as pronounced as in bigger  towns or cities, but a lot of shops seemed to have closed down recently,  with shop and merchandise signs still on them.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;I finally found a kiosk still in operation, in the last and biggest village. I finally bought my magazine.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;On the same day, during my break, I was unable to find a National  Bank of Greece branch in the village where I work. I spotted a branch  office in the central square. It seemed to be under renovation, but it  turned out the branch had closed down.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;I had similar experiences looking for a doner kebab place, a  particular petrol station, a particular bank where I used to pay my  natural gas bills and a big cosmetics store I used.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;All shut down, empty and dusty, with some of the signs still on and the windows serving as billboards.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;A huge number of homeless people can be seen living in open-air  spaces. There are 25,000 homeless people in Athens alone, driven out of  unused public spaces by the Pasok-affiliated mayor.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Many homeless people are dying during this year's extremely harsh winter.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Public welfare services, as well as schools and hospitals, are all but demolished.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;People are driven to sordid poverty and despair, as working rights  are abolished and public enterprises and resources are sold off. At the  same time, rising taxes, along with relentless price rises, are  unbearable.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Tens of thousands of households and small businesses have had their electricity cut off due to unpaid bills.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Many children faint in schools after they go hungry for days because  their parents can't afford to buy food. There has been a huge rise in  the number of children sent to orphanages.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;In many areas, the church or neighbourhood groups give out mess to  paupers. People scavenging rubbish bins for food is now a common sight  in Greece.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The Greek ministry of health reports psychological problems and suicide rates have risen dramatically.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New deal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;div&gt;In an attempt to deceive the people, Greek ministers have claimed  they negotiated hard with the troika before signing the agreement. They  put on a big show of trying to stop further bonus cuts, which were  supposedly finally stopped.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Government officials are also talking about economic growth. On  February 4, after a lengthy talk with the troika, the Greek finance  minister, Evangelos Venizelos, called on all Greek people to stay united  and do their bit "to save the country".&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;By implementing more and more austerity measures, the government  deepens the recession and devastates the lives of the overwhelming  majority of the people.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Last November, the head of the European Commission Task Force for  Greece, Horst Reichenbach, said that Greece was not ready for  investment, as it hasn't hit rock bottom yet. You don't need a major in  politics or economics to see what's in store for the Greek people.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The people are angry at the pro-memorandum political forces. Pasok is  polling 7-9.5% (coming fifth), the other major party, the conservative  New Democracy has about 19% and far right Popular Orthodox Alert (LAOS)  has dropped to 4%.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and Coalition of the Radical Left (Syriza) are polling about 9% each.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The left must take advantage of this historical opportunity, join  forces and help the Greek people reclaim their lives. They have to show  the way forward, instead of passively waiting for elections.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;We must thwart the capitalists' plans. This nightmare has to stop and the capitalists will not stop unless we stop them.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gregpalast.com/lazy-ouzo-swilling-olive-pit-spitting-greeksor-how-goldman-sacked-greece/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000"&gt;HOW GOLDMAN SACKED GREECE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BY GREG PALAST&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;em&gt;In These Times – November 5, 2011&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Here's what we're told:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Greece's economy blew apart because a bunch of olive-spitting,   ouzo-guzzling, lazy-ass Greeks refuse to put in a full day's work,   retire while they're still teenagers, pocket pensions fit for a pasha;   and they've gone on a social-services spending spree using borrowed   money. Now that the bill has come due and the Greeks have to pay with   higher taxes and cuts in their big fat welfare state, they run riot,   screaming in the streets, busting windows and burning banks.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;I don't buy it.  I don't buy it because of the document in my hand marked, "RESTRICTED DISTRIBUTION."&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;I'll cut to the indictment:  &lt;strong&gt;Greece is a crime scene&lt;/strong&gt;.    The people are victims of a fraud, a scam, a hustle and a flim-flam.   And –– cover the children's ears when I say this –– a bank named  Goldman  Sachs is holding the smoking gun.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;********&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is an adaptation of an excerpt from&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.gregpalast.com/vulturespicnic/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vultures' Picnic&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;,   Greg Palast's new book, out next week, an investigator's pursuit of   petroleum pigs, power pirates and high-finance fraudsters. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gregpalast.com/vulturespicnic/documents/Vultures_Picnic_Chapter1_Goldfinger.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Read the first chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; or just &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gregpalast.com/vulturespicnic/?page=ORDER" target="_blank"&gt;get the book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; here.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;********&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;In 2002, Goldman Sachs secretly bought up €2.3 billion in Greek   government debt, converted it all into yen and dollars, then immediately   sold it back to Greece.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Goldman took a huge loss on the trade.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Is Goldman that stupid?&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Goldman is stupid — like a fox. The deal was a con, with Goldman  making  up a phony-baloney exchange rate for the transaction.  Why?&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Goldman had cut a secret deal with the Greek government in power   then. Their game:  to conceal a massive budget deficit.  Goldman's fake   loss was the Greek government's fake gain.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Goldman would get repayment of its "loss" from the government at loan-shark rates.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The point is, through this crazy and costly legerdemain, Greece's   right-wing free-market government was able to pretend its deficits never   exceeded 3 percent of GDP.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Cool. Fraudulent but cool.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;But flim-flam isn't cheap these days: On top of murderous interest   payments, Goldman charged the Greeks over a quarter billion dollars in   fees.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;When the new Socialist government of George Papandreou came into   office, they opened up the books and Goldman's bats flew out.  Investors  went berserk, demanding monster interest rates to lend more  money to  roll over this debt.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Greece's panicked bondholders rushed to buy insurance against the   nation going bankrupt. The price of the bond-bust insurance, called a &lt;em&gt;credit default swap&lt;/em&gt; (or CDS), also shot through the roof. Who made a big pile selling the CDS insurance? Goldman.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;And those rotting bags of CDS's sold by Goldman and others? Didn't   they know they were handing their customers gold-painted turds?&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;That's Goldman's specialty. In 2007, at the same time banks were   selling suspect CDS's and CDOs (packaged sub-prime mortgage securities),   Goldman held a "net short" position against these securities. That is,   Goldman was betting their financial "products" would end up in the   toilet. Goldman picked up another half a billion dollars on their "net   short" scam.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;But, instead of cuffing Goldman's CEO Lloyd Blankfein and parading   him in a cage through the streets of At
