[1] From: "Aditya Mishra" <aditya11@sbcglobal.net> Date: Thu Nov 10, 2005 Subject: Re: [indiathinkersnet] PIERCING THE VEIL (VOLCKER REPORT) What a weird distortion of facts by Prakash Karat. (1) there was no Iraqi money since money is only a means of commerce which was being denied to Saddam as a punishment for his atrocities. (ii) Saddam had surreptiously controlled all the oil sales with the connivance of French Government and Indians like Natwar Singh. The records were being manipulated by criminal Saddam Hussain and his accomplices like Natwar Singh. (iii) Iraqi government was not allowed to generate any such revenues. It was not the first time that UN had sanctioned an unjust government. White South African government was sanctioned for several years and it is a credit to this action that Blacks got their due share of power in the government. These sanctioned could as well have succeeded in Iraq too resulting in peaceful overthrow of Saddam but for greedy politicians from France and India. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Regi P George" <george_regi@...> Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 Subject: [indiathinkersnet] PIERCING THE VEIL (VOLCKER REPORT) > VOLCKER REPORT > PIERCING THE VEIL > Defending The Iraqi People Was Not A Crime > Prakash Karat > > > > > (i) The Oil For Food Programme was financed by Iraqi money. > > (ii) Saddam Hussein and the government of Iraq had no access to these > funds.

(Almost concurrently a joint exercise was held with Russia in Agra, which attracted somewhat wider attention only because of a near-miss accident threatening the top order of both the forces.) So it??™s difficult to ward off the impression that the spectacular protests taking place this time have much to do with the forthcoming assembly elections in West Bengal, and Kerala. The bogey of the Kalaikunda joint exercise undermining ???national security/sovereignty??™ by letting our defence secrets out is also somewhat na??ve and misplaced given the past history of such joint exercises, including with China and Russia, and this being nothing unique to India alone. But such exercises must, however, be firmly opposed, in a consistent manner, with the US as such collaborative (explicitly) military exercises amount to, highly undesirable, endorsement of ongoing US military, and associated diplomatic, operations meant to establish its unchallengeable unilateral dominance over the whole globe, the current brutal and illegal/immoral war on Iraq being perhaps the most crucial element at the moment. But then the training provided to the US troops in Mizoram last month should have had drawn nothing less than vigorous and full-throated protests from that angle.] http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/110805S.shtml Why India-US War Games Cause Wide Concern By J. Sri Raman t r u t h o u t | Perspective Tuesday 08 November 2005 The peace of an Indian village was disturbed on Monday morning by the sudden eruption of a dogfight between US and Indian fighter planes. The mock battle over paddy fields was greeted by tens of thousands of militant demonstrators below with slogans asking the Bush air force to go back. ---------------------------------- [3] From: Parvez Jamasji <parvez1942@yahoo.com> Date: Thu Nov 10, 2005 Subject: Re: [indiathinkersnet] Riots in France, by Thomas Sowell What is written by David Braham, Thomas Sowell, Theodore Dalrymple is acceptance of reality. Their writtings do not surprise me & many others who have seen """the muslim way of Life""" at close quarters,,, for long. Thank you for your time.

Minister for the Interior Nicolas Sarkosy announced that the 120 foriegners convicted of taking part in the riots would be deported. He darkly mentioned that even those who have got a regular permit to stay would be deported, they should follow the rules of the land . The issue was painted out as if it is foreigners who were responsible for the riots , yet in most places, the black, arab and carribean youth are second or third generation citizens . Apart from this the rioteers also had many white youth among their ranks The chasing of youth into a transformer at Chichy-sous - bois where two died and another injured sparked the riot in Paris, which later spread to the whole of France. The simmering anger at the neo - liberal policies of successive left and right governments exploded. Unemployment among Africans is 50% . The common view is that they are born to be janitors. Job applications are not looked at if the name does not sound French . That the revolt has taken this shape is a reflection of inadequate understanding both on the part of the youth and the left leadership, which has not been able to integrate this section into the overall struggle of the working and toiling masses. Unemployment has become an integral feature of crisis ridden capitalism and the demand for employment cannot be met without questioning the policies of the State and whose interest they are serving. The emergency which has within a short span of 11 days got acceptance from both the ruling and opposition parties ( forgetting the inhuman act of the police at Chichy -sous- bois) will deprive these sections of acess to education, jobs etc and will further push them to the wall . Some of the measures outlined merely restore some of the earlier cuts, while the nature of jobs being offered condemn this section of the population to the ghettos.
