H Raja and the Lotus Benefit Fund Fiasco

Honestly I wouldn’t bother with such types as H Raja, who keep calling people with alternate views as “anti national”, because I don’t have the time for him, and he’s useless. But the time has come to strip this man of his veneer of nationalism and expose him for what he really is!

A couple working for TN BJP from Trichy, Pazhaniappan and Revathi, gave a tear-filled interview. This was somewhere in late 2013 and early 2014. Pazhaniappan and Revathi stated: “H Raja started a finance company called Lotus Benefit Fund, named after BJP’s party symbol, in Karaikudi in 1995. We were in Trichy. Since H Raja was BJP state secretary, We trusted him and invested INR 50,000 in Lotus Benefit Fund. First he gave it back at 2 interest rates. Trusting him, in 1999, we invested an additional INR 200,000. Interests were coming regularly at first. Then, in 2001, H Raja and his brother in law Ramchandran came in person and demanded us to give their company more investments. To look trustworthy, they even gave us a check and asked for money. So we invested an additional INR 800,000, (700,000 via 2 ICICI bank checks and 100,000 via demand draft). In total, we invested INR 1,050,000 in LBF. But suddenly, when we stopped getting interests in between, and asked him why, he replied that there was a theft at LBF and that the money would be returned by his brother-in-law. But ever since, we got neither interest, nor the original money we invested. A few days later, H Raja’s brother in law Ramachandran resigned and left for London. We tried to deposit the check given by Ramachandran in our bank on October 2004, but the check bounced. In total, we should’ve gotten INR 4 million as a sum of interests and principle.” 

Revathi went on to say: “First we were okay with investing a mere 50,000 and 200,000 in LBF. But at the time, H Raja discovered that we had sold our property at a small shops’ street and kept the money in a bank. He said: “Instead of just lying around in the bank, if you invest it in LBF, you’d get 2 interests out of it.” We trusted him and invested in LBF, now we stand in the middle of the road. We also have our daughter’s marriage pending. Can’t H Raja return our money at least for that? If he doesn’t return our money before Thai Pongal, we as a couple plan to fast in front of his home.”

When Vikatan asked H Raja about this, he said: “I was the director of Lotus Benefit Fund for a few years. Then I resigned and left it. Before closing it, I returned all the money LBF owed to investors. Pazhaniappan only invested INR 250,000. The remaining INR 800,000 were loans to Ramachandran. Ramachandran’s wife will return it little by little, summing up to more than the amount given by Pazhaniappan. All the receipts are there. How can we give everything they ask for? Some people are conspiring to break my image. They’re trying to stop me from contesting elections.”

Back to the story. From what we common people know, Pazhaniappan since hearing about “theft” at LBF, has traveled between Trichy and Karaikudi over 200 times. H Raja has threatened Pazhaniappan with death via his goons. Pazhaniappan is not the only one. Several people have lost their money to H Raja and LBF this way, and all of them are from TN BJP. If this fate happens to a district secretary like Pazhaniappan, we can only imagine the silence others would have been subjected to.

This, my friends, is the background of the man we all know as H Raja Sharma. The man who comes on TV and spews sporadic malodorous hatred and repulses everybody with his rancid conduct. From abusing Muslims, to calling people with differing views as anti national, there’s not one known instance where he hasn’t played the religion/nationalist card. But how many of us were aware of his dubious life?

Imagine this: Vanathi Srinivasan and the Zylog scam: https://moonchronicles.tumblr.com/post/163611416324/the-great-zylog-coverup

H Raja and the Lotus Benefit Fund racket. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s more than meets the eye regarding BJP’s TN unit, which is corrupt throughout. And this even before saving their deposits! Imagine them at Fort St. George! TN will become Hell on Earth!

This is the end of my post. Thank you all for reading. Have a good day.

The Great Zylog Coverup

On 05/21/2017, Vanathi Srinivasan, TN BJP Leader, posted on Facebook claiming that she and her husband SU Srinivasan had nothing to do with Zylog Systems India Ltd, apart from the 20,000 shares offered free of charge for the services of SUS to ZSI. But how far is this claim true?

Who are the founders of Zylog Systems India? RSS volunteers Sudharshanam and Ram Sesharathnam. Vanathi Srinivasan claimed that they were family friends for 3 decades, so SU Srinivasan initially gave legal advice/guidance to ZSI, and in return for his services, ZSI gave SUS 20,000 shares worth INR 100,000 (INR 5 per share). VS said that she and SUS had no other contact with ZSI, and that she didn't have anything in her name. She added that her brother worked as a software engineer there for a while, but didn't have anything to do with ZSI's administration, especially finance. She challenged slanderers to approach CBI with evidence.

Several questions arise in mind.

1. In SEBI's website, ZSI had shares worth INR 10 each, so how did her husband get 20,000 shares worth INR 5 each? http://www.sebi.gov.in/media/press-releases/jun-2007/offer-documents-received-withdrawn-and-observations-issued-by-sebi-from-june-11-2007-to-june-17-2007_8164.html

2. In a share market, one can't simply give a random number of shares for mere financial advice. SEBI and even company rules don't permit it. How did ZSI give 20,000 shares to SUS? Was there any violation of SEBI norms?

3. On 07/20/2007, a public issue was initiated to sell shares and lasted till 07/25/2007. The price band was set between INR 300 & 350. This gained 5 times the share capital. So a share's price was set at a higher price band limit and sold at INR 350 to the applicants. If that was the case, VS' husband could've gotten 20,000 shares at a staggering INR 7 million. Since it goes against company laws for ZSI to give away shares worth 7 million free of cost, it was obviously bought out for the price.

4. That a "Public Limited Company" would offer its shares worth INR 7 million free of cost for some mere legal advice is impossible.

5. On 08/17/2007, the shares were open to sales for the first time in the share market. It started at INR 525/share and went up to INR 557/share. If the company offered those shares free of cost, violating company & SEBI norms, can't the investors who were cheated of their money file legal lawsuits against both the one who gave away the shares and the ones who bought them?

6. So SUS had to pay INR 7M to buy ZSI's 20,000 shares. For that, an Income Tax investigation of SUS for that year is necessary to know whether it had anything to do with ZSI.

7. And if such an earning by ASG SUS was not shown to the IT department, he can be legally arrested and interrogated. Why has neither the IT department nor CBI acted quickly in this regard?

Furthermore, Vanathi Srinivasan is now the non-official director of Madras Fertilizers Limited! http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/people/person.asp?personId=365952728&privcapId=9896877 Madras Fertilizers Limited is a joint venture between the Department of Fertilizers & Chemicals (under Union Minister Ananth Kumar), Government of India, and AMOCO India Incorporation of the USA. GoI holds a 51% equity share in this company.  VS is now the non-official director of this company. Her brother Sivakumar Kandasamy also has answering to do regarding the INR 10 billion scam by ZSI!

This is how BJP fights corruption!

I rest my case.

Further details follow.

This company, Zylog Systems India, has a debt of nearly INR 10 billion! What have ZSI done with all the money?

From 2009 to 2013, the director of ZSI was M Gajanathan, MA, LLB.

Instead of investing it in business, ZSI invested it in various other assets, leading to NPAs (Non-Performing Assets) worth INR 7.15 billion!

VS' brother Sivakumar Kandasamy was director of Zylog Systems Europe Ltd. To put it more clearly, ZSI's debts were purchased by its innumerable subsidiaries including ZSE.

In 2012 itself, due to a SEBI announcement that Zylog was a fraudulent company, ZSI's shares plummeted. Additionally, in 2013, the Reserve Bank of India RED FLAGGED ZSI and sent a warning to all banks. While the Union Bank labeled ZSI as a willful defaulter, other banks went as far as claiming that ZSI was a fraudulent organization.

SEBI even banned Zylog Systems chief Sudharshan Venkataraman and 5 other people from the share market over this matter. http://www.business-standard.com/article/markets/sebi-bans-chief-of-zylog-systems-113061301062_1.html

But in November 2014, SUS became a central government lawyer. He's now the assistant solicitor general of India, and soon to be additional solicitor general of India! For instance: http://www.ptinews.com/news/8523427_CISF-cover-meant-only-for-industries--HC.html

Already ZSI was facing several lawsuits filed by banks for not repaying their debts. Madras HC also ordered a liquidator in place to liquidate the company and auction its assets.

But in August 2015, VS' brother Sivakumar Kandasamy was made the full-time director of Zylog Systems India.

Additionally, the website address given for ZSI in 2009 was that of Sivakumar Kandasamy's office in the USA. Once the center initiated investigations, VS removed that address from her website vanathi.bjp.in.

How did Zylog Systems India get the contract for the website mygov.in, despite companies like IBM approaching the GoI?

CBI to probe Zylog Systems for defrauding banks: http://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/040217/cbi-to-probe-zylog-for-bank-loan-fraud.html

More on SEBI’s order on Zylog Systems: http://indiacorplaw.blogspot.in/2017/06/minimizing-liability-of-directors-sebis.html

Could this just be the tip of the iceberg?

Here are more factors regarding this company. 1 Performance - 0. https://www.macroaxis.com/invest/market/ZYLOG.BO--performance--Zylog-Systems-Limited 2 Management. https://www.macroaxis.com/invest/market/ZYLOG.BO--management--Zylog-Systems-Limited 3 Fundamentals. https://www.macroaxis.com/invest/ratio/ZYLOG.BO 4 Technicalities. https://www.macroaxis.com/invest/market/ZYLOG.BO--technical--Zylog-Systems-Limited

All in all, a big zero. And who is the director & executive VP? Sivakumar Kandasamy, brother of Vanathi Srinivasan.

This, when TN BJP can’t even retain its deposits here in Tamil Nadu. Can you imagine what would happen if such a party comes to power?

I rest my case. This is the end of my post.

Thank you all for reading. Have a good day.

History of Saffron in Tamil Nadu

This post is a continuation of my previous post on Saffron here: https://moonchronicles.tumblr.com/post/163300344004/does-saffron-really-represent-hindus-or-indians

While I did cover the topic on how it entered India, I never covered how it entered Tamil Nadu and its history in the state. So here goes.

The First Saffron Invasion of Tamil Nadu - The Kalabhra Interregnum

During the third century, an army of Jains/Buddhists known as Kalabhras came from what is Kolar in modern Karnataka and displaced the Chera, Chola & Pandya dynasties in Tamil Nadu to establish their kingdom. The time period from the third century to the 6th/7th century is known today as the “dark ages” of Tamil history. It was during this period that no popular Tamil literature emerged, and it was also a period of rampant discrimination against Saivites and Vaishnavites in favor of Buddhists and Jains. The Buddhists/Jains who were patronized by the Kalabhra kings spoke Pali and composed Pali works. The Kalabhra patronage of Sanskrit, Pali and Prakrit at the expense of Tamil nearly wiped out the language, apart from rampant discrimination against Saivites & Vaishnavites. As we all should know, saffron as a color is sacred to Buddhists and Jains. Even today, Buddhists wear saffron in their monasteries. Same story with Jains.

This continued till the 6th century, when the Pallavas, Pandyas and Cheras rose in revolt, defeated the Kalabhras and reestablished their kingdoms, the Tamil language and Tamil culture. Two of the four great Saivite saints, Thirugnanasambandhar and Appar, spearheaded the revival of Saivism and Tamil language & culture from the edge. Thirugnanasambandhar faced the saffron Jain hordes, and managed to save Saivism from the brink of extinction. The torture Appar faced at the hands of Jain chauvinists is documented here. The 63 Nayanmars helped to restore Saivism, while the 12 Alwars helped to restore Vaishnavism.

However, Buddhist/Jain influences remained even as Tamil literature reached new heights post Kalabhra. One of them being the use of saffron dresses, which were originally used only by Buddhists/Jains, although not as much as white still is used today.

The Second Saffron Invasion of Tamil Nadu - By Venkoji’s Maratha Army

During the 17th century, the last Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb and the first Maratha Emperor Shivaji Maharaj were involved in a bitter clash. Although it was not religious by nature, it had a religious undertone, which has gained more prominence in the recent years. But with respect to Tamil Nadu, upon the insistence of former Thanjavur King Vijayaraghava’s son, the Sultan of Bijapur sent his Maratha general Venkoji Rajah Bhosale to capture Thanjavur from the Nayaks who recently assumed power. However, Venkoji, after capturing Thanjavur in 1674, proceeded to make himself the emperor and thus started the Maratha Bhosale/Bhonsle rule of Thanjavur. Rest assured that if the Chola Empire (which died in the 13th century) had remained in place, Venkoji would’ve been sent back running. However it was not to be. The Thanjavur Marathas favored Sanskrit and Telugu over Tamil, to the extent of classical Tamil nearly dying out. Venkoji composed the Dvipada Ramayana and under his son, Thanjavur Maratha literature was at its peak. It was during this period that Tamil was frowned upon, to the extent that if Tamils sang Tamil hymns of God Shiva/Vishnu anywhere, the area was cleansed/purified with water before Carnatic music sessions, Sanskrit plays, or other events took place.

They dynasty lasted till 1855, when under Lord Dalhousie’s Doctrine of Lapse, it was annexed to the Madras Presidency under the British Empire. Classical Tamil started to revive with the likes of Dr. U. Ve. Swaminathan Iyer (Grandfather of Tamil) rising and helping to restore classical Tamil from the ashes/ruins of Maratha domination, starting with literature.

The consequence of this invasion is the Maratha-Tamil ethnic conflict over the Thanjavur Brihadeeswar Temple today, which was the brainchild of and built entirely by Raja Raja Chola I. In other words, a conflict between saffron (Maratha) and red (Chola Tamil) groups is in place due to Venkoji’s invasion of Tamil Nadu, over what is rightfully red Chola Tamil territory.

The Third Saffron Invasion of Tamil Nadu - BJP

The Third Saffron Invasion of Tamil Nadu is being attempted/spearheaded by the BJP, and just like their predecessors, they patronize Sanskrit and Hindi (instead of Telugu) over Tamil. Kalabhras patronized Sanskrit, Pali and Prakrit in place of Tamil.

https://twitter.com/bigotry_watch/status/878592463446851585

https://twitter.com/Poongkundran_s/status/884706990185824256

This time at least, we have the knowledge of our past, and also know clearly what is good and what is not. We all know BJP’s “development” is only through Photoshop. So we Tamils have to shed all political differences aside, confront the third saffron invasion of Tamil Nadu together and successfully defeat and thwart it, or else our descendants will bear the brunt of our mistakes. 

Thank you all for reading. Have a good day.

Does Saffron Really Represent Hindus or Indians?

I was wondering about this. That is, how did saffron come to represent Indians, especially Hindus, in general? This is because I don’t remember seeing anybody proudly wearing saffron in India before the Modi wave. Indeed, even staunch Tamil Saivites/Vaishnavites used other colors like white, gold, red etc, but not saffron as much, even today. Of course, in today’s context, it does represent a Hindu Sanyasi who has renounced all material desires. But how did it come to be?

History

Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of crocus sativus (saffron crocus). This plant grows up to 20-30 cm and bears at most 4 flowers. Each of these flowers has 3 crimson stigmas at the distant end of the carpel. The styles and stigmas, known as threads, are collected and dried to use in food. The first known cultivation was near Persia or Greece since over 3,500 years ago. It later spread throughout Europe and Southwest Asia and also extended to North Africa, North America and Oceania. In addition, its first recorded history was in the 7th century BCE in an Assyrian botanical treatise under King Ashurbanipal (see his library here). Today, Iran accounts for 90% of the saffron produced in the world.

Where did the name come from? Actually its origins are unclear, but it’s believed to have come from the Persian word Zarparân (زرپران). The Arabic term for it is kurkum (كركم). However, the Latin term for it is safranum by way of the 12th century French word safran.

When Did Saffron Come to India?

From Persian records: Saffron is believed to have originally come to India by way of Persia when the latter wanted to stock their new gardens and parks. They transplanted their desired cultivars across the Persian empire to achieve this. The Kashmiri saffron that was cultivated was marketed by Phoenicians (modern Lebanese people) starting 6th century BCE.

Kashmiri legends have it that saffron came to the valley by way of 2 Sufi saints Khwaja Masood Wali and Hazrat Sheikh Shariffudin. When they fell sick, a local Kashmiri tribal chieftain obliged to cure them. These Sufi saints gave them saffron as a note of thanks, and till date, Kashmiris offer grateful prayers during saffron harvesting season in autumn. However Kashmiri poet Mohamed Yusuf Teng disagreed and said Kashmiris cultivated it for over 2 millennia.

Chinese Buddhist records (Sarvastivada) state that a Buddhist arhat (enlightened being) known as Madhyantika came to Kashmir in 5th century BCE. There, he sowed and cultivated the first crop of saffron. From there, it spread throughout the Indian subcontinent.

The accounts involving saffron’s arrival in China are also interesting, however my focus is on India, so we’ll discuss about China some other day.

Which Prominent Empires/Cultures Used Saffron?

Greek and Roman cultures associated the color with the goddess of dawn – Goddess Eos in Greek (Image 1) and Goddess Aurora (Image 2, more here) in Roman civilizations.

Saffron-based pigments have been found in 50,000 year old depictions of prehistoric places in northwest Iran, indicating it was cultivated and used over 3,000 years ago. Sumerians later adopted and started using it for medical purposes. Persians also used it to weave textiles, manufacture dyes, drugs, body washes, medicines, etc, around the 10th century BCE. Of course, the Persians were experts at using saffron for drugs and intimidated everyone. Even Alexander the Great used Persian saffron during his Asian raids for food, medicine and sanitation.

Minoans used saffron in their medicines, dated to 1500-1600 BCE. Greek legends portrayed their sea way adventures to get saffron from Celicia. Ancient Chinese texts also mention its use as a medicinal herb. Shennong Bencaojing (神農本草經—”Shennong’s Great Herbal”) which has 40 volumes of medicinal data, also mentions this.

The Maratha Confederacy used Jari Patka as their flag. The Maratha Empire and Princely States (before the British Empire) used saffron to represent their race. See here and here.

The Sikhs also used it (and still do) as their color along with gold. See here, here and here.

The Significance of Other Colors

As a Tamil Saivite, to me, red and white are very significant as Saivite colors. Red – because God Shiva has a name – Semmeni Udaiyan (he with a red body). But not red in the sense, blood red, it means his skin color more or less pinkish white. He also has another name – Sem Chadaiyon or Senjadaiyon (he with red hair). In short, he would look more or less like this. He looks tanned here.

Even green is significant – Goddess Parvati is known for being green – green for fertility, richness and prosperity.

Green, white and red hold more significance to me as a Tamil Saivite. To Tamil Vaishnavites, Lord Vishnu is always adorned in gold and red. For instance, Lord Oppiliappan in Kumbakonam. Gold represents richness – Lord Vishnu is the god of wealth.

Moreover, the Chola empire used red in its flag, while the Pandyas used green/blue/gold and Cheras gold/green. See this. Which Tamil empire used saffron?

Even the greatest Tamil Saivite saints were wearing white, red or gold ornaments. See here, here and here. Actually none of them gave importance to color, but they never used saffron. The latter was more recent and not traditionally used.

Does Same Religion Entail Same Characteristics?

Hell no! Look at Europe. Do they all use the same colors in their flags? Or do they follow the same sect of Christianity? On the contrary, each one of them has their own culture and symbolism which they represent in their colors. Any attempt at homogenization will fail, since humans are social and territorial animals. Each ethnicity/race in India has its own culture. Homogenization will not only fail, but backfire badly. It is at this point of time that everyone needs to wake up.

Didn’t Shivaji Maharaj Save Hinduism? So why not use Saffron in his remembrance?

Shivaji Maharaja actually served the Muslim Adil Shahi dynasty as an apprentice. He also had plenty of Muslim generals against Aurangzeb’s Rajput Hindu generals. In other words, it was more a war of ego/personality clashing than religions/ideologies. Same story with Lachit Borphukan and his generals in Assam, although this man fought for his ethnicity/race against Aurangzeb. How many of us outside of Bengal are aware of Shivaji’s actions there?

Conclusion

As a color, saffron isn’t bad. Indeed, saffron stands for spirituality and sacrifice. But why impose what is an ethnic color to Marathi people and Sikhs upon the entire nation? Why a Persian origin color for Indians, especially people like Tamils who had literally nothing to do with this color in the past? Every ethnic group in India and the world has its own ethnic colors and backgrounds. For instance, gold and red are ethnic Kannada colors. Red, gold and green are ethnic Tamil colors. Red is also an ethnic Kashmiri color (see their flag). Saffron is an ethnic Maratha/Sikh color. Gold and blue are also ethnic Punjabi Sikh colors. Why should Indians, especially Hindus, adopt a particular color, just to represent unity? Didn’t we stick along for more than 65 years prior to 2014? Yes, we will be around together as long as all homogenization attempts stop. This is a promise.

Is Illuminati Real?

To be frank, I never imagined the day where I’d need to debunk this absolutely inane myth. However, with the rise of Tamil videos regarding “the 13 families that control the world”, it’s best I address this matter and nip it in the bud, before it reaches contagious levels and also swallows the mainstream. 

First bear in mind that such conspiracy theories are only believed and spread by basement dwellers and neo Nazis in the West and by Islamic fundamentalists in the Middle East, Iran, Pakistan, etc. The common people of these nations don’t even care about whether they exist.

This theory was first propounded in Tamil Nadu by Naam Tamilar founder Seeman on 05/03/2017 (May 3, 2017). He claimed that 13 families ruled the entire planet and possessed 99% of all wealth on earth while 1% of the wealth was left to the people of the world. In other words, they’d make India’s Birlas, Tatas, Ambanis, etc, look like street-side beggars. Obviously this is his desperate move to stay relevant in the backdrop of crippling issues facing the state of Tamil Nadu. However, it won’t cut ice with people who have an IQ of at least 50 or 60.

First things first. Illuminati (meaning “the illuminated/enlightened”) was originally represented by the Owl of Minerva and not the Eye of Horus over a pyramid as it’s believed to be now. It was formed on May 1, 1776 by German philosopher Adam Weishaupt and was initially known as Bavarian Illuminati. They were basically a group of people who opposed the power of the Catholic Church (based in Vatican) and wanted to illuminate the people about their superstitions and prejudices. Basically what Periyar was to us in Tamil Nadu. They started with five people and expanded to thousands. They recruited plenty of Freemasons and their power existed to a reasonable extent till the end of the American Civil War. Conspiracy theorists claim that the existence of organizations such as Skull & Bones (formed in 1832, a secret society at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut), are examples that Illuminati is alive.

Skull & Bones was formed by Freemasons. Freemasons were already heavily depleted around the time of the American Civil War which lasted from 1861 to 1865. Freemasons fought on both sides: for the Confederate and for the Union forces. A prominent personality among them was Albert Pike who was also a general of the Confederate forces. They were basically cults doing social service spread in pockets across America. Even today, they are present in pockets worldwide. While some of them ban religion & politics and even women from joining, some of them are liberal. The American Civil War is a LONG story that needs a separate post and dedicated time, so I’ll leave it at that.

In the meantime, you can read this page to know about the activities of some of these Freemasons during the American Civil War: http://www.angelfire.com/me/reenact/masons.html

That for the introduction and brief history of what was originally the Bavarian Illuminati. Now on to today. This is what Illuminati is believed to be today.

Yes, the eye of Horus over a pyramid is what everybody calls Illuminati, going to the extent of saying even the US government is controlled by them, just because the $1 bill carries a triangular pyramid! 

The first question that would arise in one’s mind is, why is it only present in the $1 bill? Why not, say the $2 bill?

The $5 bill?

The $10 bill?

The $20 bill?

The $50 bill?

The $100 bill?

Where’s the Illuminati in any of the other bills except the $1 one? Is it because Illuminati are street-side beggars that they only represent themselves in $1 bills and not in, say $100 bills? 

The second question that arises in our minds is: Isn’t the Illuminati supposed to be a SECRET organization? Why would a secret organization leave behind its fingerprints or footprints? Would a murderer leave behind any evidence of his murder? Wouldn’t the first task of this group be to destroy all evidence of their existence and crimes if they’re a SECRET organization? 

Apparently the Illuminati express themselves in hand symbols such as these.

Apparently wiping your asses and raising clenched fists exposing your armpits to the crowd are the only hand symbols to indicate you are not part of the Illuminati. Or did I miss that memo? See the 4th symbol above, and look closely at the Thiruvalluvar statue at Kanyakumari.

If I were a brain dead follower of Seeman and a believer of such bullshit conspiracy theories, I’d say: “Yes! Thiruvalluvar is Illuminati! Confirmed!” Seeman logic. Apparently Seeman in his business as an eternal junior broker to Vaiko doesn’t realize the importance of trust and truth. Wait a second....

Even Seeman’s idol had shown the first Illuminati hand gesture with his left hand! Didn’t Seeman just show the Illuminati symbol in the image on the top of this post?

The third question that strikes me is: Why would the Illuminati not eliminate anybody, either by expelling or by murdering, those who expose their hand symbols and hence their allegiance to their group? Why would a SECRET society not coverup its tracks by killing or expelling such people? Like Singer Beyoncé?

Freemasons & Illuminati have never made news, in Russia nor China. Forget them, they aren’t in the news, even in North Korea & Iran! Wonder why!? Anybody has any answer why!?

Seeman claimed that he read a book written by John Perkins titled “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” and got no sleep. He also asked us to read it. He cited Somalia as an example. Somalia is a case where thorium reserves were rich. This was why the last regime headed by Siad Barre in Somalia was toppled in 1991, to pave way for extracting all the thorium (Rings a bell - Sasikala Natarajan and her VV Builders). There’s no denying that US & EU were involved in the operation, at least in part. However there has been no explanation regarding how the Illuminati was ever involved in ousting Siad Barre.

On August 22, 1993, the USA, along with Pakistan and Italy, initiated an operation termed “Operation Gothic Serpent” to capture a dreaded Somalian pirate Mohamed Farrah Aidid. It lasted 2 months till October 13. This was later made into a film titled “Black Hawk Down”.

There’s no denying that secret societies exist. But if they were so powerful, they can’t miss us. If not the US (CNN, CNBC, etc) media, the Russian (Russia Today) or Chinese (Xinhua) media would cover it. If not them, at least North Korea (Korean Central News Agency) or Iran (PressTV) would. If not them, who would???? Why is there absolutely no coverage? Because it’s all basically truckloads of bullshit. 

Moreover, if the Illuminati were so all encompassing, how come the Internet is full of videos exposing Illuminati? Shouldn’t they have been gagged, at least by now?

Rothschild conspiracy theories are another set of bollocks that don’t cut ice with people who have at least a basic knowledge of economics. Somebody with that knowledge would know how hard it is to regulate a local economy like that of, say Tamil Nadu, forget about controlling the world as claimed by conspiracy theorists. Here is Baba Ramdev “exposing” Rothschild. Wonder how a powerful organization like them hasn’t sued Baba for libel yet!?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hVY7lOGRcM

The Rothschild family did have financial influence in the 1800s, especially in Europe, and it’s true they did manipulate wars like the Franco-British war when Napoleon Bonaparte was marching throughout Europe. Mayer Rothschild placed his five sons as his (family) business partners: the eldest Amschel Mayer Rothschild in Frankfurt, Salomon Mayer Rothschild in Vienna, Nathan Mayer Rothschild in London, Calmann Mayer Rothschild in Naples, and the youngest Jakob Mayer Rothschild in Paris. Mayer was given some important papers by his trading partner Landgrave William, to protect the latter’s wealth from Napoleon. Mayer sent it to his son Nathan in London, who used the money to finance the British Army. Nathan already managed the bulk of William’s money, much of it invested in the British Crown. William was familiar with such transactions as his father gained all that wealth by financing Britain in its wars on its American colonies.

Nevertheless, Rothschilds’ savvy investments of William’s money paid off well, and turned the Rothschild family into a powerful financial/banking dynasty. 

Four of Mayer’s sons had sons of their own, who were sent to other financial centers in other countries. They practiced inbreeding in order to preserve their bloodline from outsiders. They were stabilizing currencies across nations to keep economies running. At the height of their dominance in the 1800s, the wealth of the dynasty would’ve been the single biggest fortune in human history.

However, with the advent of the two world wars, their financial power was broken and replaced by other institutes such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Basically the Rothschild dynasty was doing in the 1800s, what the IMF is doing today. For more information, see here. 

Now on to the Bilderberg group. This group is just a self-absorbed group of very wealthy businessmen who think they’re all important. Apparently they set agendas every year. God knows what agendas they set, how many of them succeeded, how much they gained out of killing Hezbollah soldiers, bombing Syrian army and air bases, capturing weapons from Iranian soldiers, etc. 

All the problems Seeman cries about can actually be fixed locally by appropriately turning/shifting government gears like regulations, rules, restrictions, etc, and internationally by diplomacy. For instance, if the USA adds pressure with the backing of the UK and France, China and Russia can and will veto America’s resolution (like over Syria and Sri Lanka). If China and Russia try to bring a resolution, the US, the UK and France can go against it (like over Palestine/Israel). Nevertheless, only if all 5 members agree, can a resolution be passed by the UN Security Council (UNSC). And no, it’s NOT controlled by Rothschilds or Illuminati. If you have any evidence, provide it immediately.

With this, I end my post on the conspiracy theories involving the Illuminati and so on. These theories are just propounded by idiots with no life and who want to blame others for their own failures. To make it simple: I expect, around 100s of years later, some Hindu cranks would blame Dravidar Kazhagam and DMK, for all their failures. Oh wait, already some idiots are blaming DMK for the Eelam genocide, while a handful are still blaming DMK for Rajiv Gandhi’s murder by LTTE! Same story, different parameters and variables/values. This is what conspiracy theories (Illuminati or otherwise) are all about!

Was Kamarajar REALLY the greatest CM Tamil Nadu had till date?

Disclaimer: This isn't to disparage the great old man. May his soul rest in eternal peace for the services he and his party did for Tamil Nadu that made us great.

Read more on that here: https://twitter.com/u_g_prashanth/status/886170952991555586

As a DMK supporter, it pains me to see casteists (PMK plus others), Hindutvadis (RSS/BJP), Tamil nationalists & racists (Naam Tamilar, MDMK) and other assorted DMK haters spewing venom against DMK day and night in sickening ways below human dignity. If all else fails, they hide behind other personalities who had opposed DMK during their lifetimes. First they hid behind LTTE leader Prabhakaran who had the blood of thousands of innocent Tamils on his hands, now it's Kamarajar's turn. To these trolls, Prabhakaran (negative personality) and Kamarajar (positive personality) are not people to learn from in any way, but instead, mere fronts (human shields) to defend their own inadequacies, both against DMK and in their own personal lives. These trolls are no different from LTTE in that regard.

Now back to the story.

Kamarajar was elected CM of Madras Province in 1954. He was from Indian National Congress (INC) under Jawaharlal Nehru. There's no denying his contributions to the education of TN's backward peoples and partly industrializing the state. But was he flawless?

Several questions arise in one's mind: 

1. If he was so flawless, why was he silent on Congress' massive corruption sprees from 1947 to 1971?  Here's a shortlist of Congress' scams in that era.

a. In 1948, Indian Ambassador to Britain Krishna Menon gave an order for 2,000+ jeeps from a fake company based in London. The sad fact is, only 155 jeeps OF VERY LOW QUALITY arrived. Instead of sacking Krishna Menon, Nehru instead appointed him as defense minister! 7 years later, it was revealed to be to the tune of several hundreds of millions!

b. 1949: Rao Shiva Bahadur Singh jailed for 3 years for taking a bribe of INR 25,000 from Sachendra Paran to renew a diamond mine license. Who was Rao Shiva Bahadur Singh? He was the father of Arjun Singh, former Madhya Pradesh CM and central minister. 

c. 1951: Commerce minister SA Venkataraman jailed for 3 years for involvement in a scam over imports of cycle parts for a single company.

d. 1957: Mundra scam involving TT Krishnamachari. HM Patel bought shares worth INR 12.7 million from Kanpur based Haridas Mundra via LIC. The LIC chairman at the time was KR Kamal Nath. The irony was that Haridas Mundra was not even a businessman! So the shares were actually fake! Judge Shakla investigated this and found TTK, KRKN and HMP guilty. TTK resigned, but Nehru made him FM again in 1963. Shameless much? 

e. 1971: The popular Nagarwala scam.

....and many more. 

Kamarajar was with this party from 1947 till retirement. Why didn't he pull out of it? Okay, give him runway and assume he had nostalgic feelings towards India's oldest party. WHY WAS HE SILENT OVER THESE ISSUES? 

Fact: Kamarajar actually introduced Mark I of cash-for-votes is rampant in India today by giving 2-3 Rupees per vote way back in the 50s/60s.

Here’s DMK’s Arignar Anna speaking on the corruption committed by the Congress party back then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1bOA5dG4Gk

2. WHY WAS KARUMAVEERAR KAMARAJAR SILENT ON ANTI HINDI PROTESTS IN TN? Couldn't he have pleaded Nehru/LBS on this matter? 

3. Why did Kamarajar giveaway Peermade and Devikulam to Kerala that has culminated in the Mullaiperiyar dam issue b/w Tamil Nadu & Kerala? Even Marshal A Nesamony objected to this move but that didn’t stop Kamarajar.

4. Why did Kamarajar introduce the mesquite trees (Seemai Karuvelam) to TN during the 1950s? Today they've dried up Tamil Nadu’s water resources in unimaginable ways.

5. Why was he silent over the rampant discrimination against lower castes? It was DK/DMK that uplifted them from their downtrodden state. 

6. Most important question. A PMK spammer blames DMK for not stopping the Hemavati dam. In 1960, Karnataka propounded the idea of building a dam across the Hemavati river. They started building the dam in 1961/62. WHY DID THE THEN CHIEF MINISTERS KAMARAJAR AND BHAKTAVATCHALAM REMAIN SILENT OVER THIS ISSUE? By the time the DMK came to power in 1967, the dam was already half-finished and it was completed in 1979, when ADMK under MGR was in power. What could’ve been done? Indira Gandhi would never have betrayed Congress (Karnataka) for DMK (Tamil Nadu) who were her rivals. Heck she even goaded MGR to start ADMK in order to undermine DMK! But why were Kamarajar & Bhaktavatchalam silent all along?

There are many more questions left unanswered regarding the so-called "golden era" of TN under Karumaveerar Kamarajar (and this post will be updated as and when required). But let me rest it here. Let the great man rest in peace.

Now on to DMK haters who use great/prominent people, not to improve themselves, but to bash DMK over everything. Let this message be loud and clear: 

DMK IS HERE TO STAY!

Do what you can, but in the end, you end up cutting your nose to spite your face!

We will not take it anymore! First you losers used LTTE's Prabhakaran as a front to bash DMK, now you losers are trying to use Kamarajar, a great man, to attack us! We've been silent for a very long time, but you never showed signs of receding. So we will come with full force at anybody who attacks us! 

Hope you actually learn from their lives and improve yourselves on their lines instead of bashing us, at least from hereon.

Thank you all for reading. Have a good day.

A Comparison Between China and India

Doklam, 07/20/2017: Chinese Tabloid "Global Times" warns that India's rising nationalism could lead to a potential confrontation. The tabloid also warned India of a confrontation if it doesn't pull its troops off the disputed boundary.

History of China-India relations

In 1949, China annexed East Turkestan and converted it into its Xinjiang province. China captured Tibet in 1950, but maintained the government structures. India didn't do anything to stop China's expansionism. Instead, it took in Tibetan refugees in 1959 after China drove them out for protesting. China also dissolved Tibet's government structures and fully swallowed it.

1962: After Nehru and Zhou Enlai failed to reach a consensus over Aksai Chin, China came to war and defeated India. It also took back Aksai Chin and started building infrastructure. Although China stopped the war in four days (October 20 to October 24), Nehru still wanted to continue it. He kicked it off again on his birthday (November 14) rejecting Zhou Enlai's proposal. He stopped on November 20 when India couldn't continue any further.

A documentary on the 1962 war:

Part 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgfFpojG4GM

Part 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XstW0q0efY4

1967: Prime Minister Indira Gandhi mobilized her troops and defeated China in a short war over Sikkim. However China was facing the cultural revolution that engulfed the country into a civil war that lasted till the arrest of the Gang of Four in 1981. It also engulfed the PLA and divided them. India was united under Indira Gandhi then and this helped them win.

Chinese war capabilities

China has the world's third largest and strongest army. The People's Liberation Army constitutes 3 million active soldiers and 450,000 reserve soldiers. China has a dominant naval force which has its bases in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. China also has an air force comprising nearly 10,000 fighter jets. In addition to this, China has the world's fourth largest nuclear arsenal (445) after Russia (20,000), USA (15,000) and France (448). Furthermore, China has scalar weapons like EMPs that can disable tanks and missiles. More on that here and here. China also has the dreaded DF-ZF hypersonic glider vehicle (HGV) that can dodge interceptors and deliver a nuclear strike. The Chinese HGV travels at a speed of 7,000 miles per hour. This could be used to destroy all ground based missile systems. And many more....

Indian war capabilities

India has the world's fourth largest and strongest army. It constitutes over 600,000 active troops and over 2 million reserve troops. India also has its military and navy bases in various parts of the world. The Indian Navy also has a base at Mauritius. The Black Project of the Indian Navy gives India a second nuclear strike capability in case land based missiles fail. The Indian Air Force comprises over 2,000 fighter jets. Additionally, India has the world's seventh largest nuclear arsenal (120) after Russia (20,000), USA (15,000), France (448), China (445), UK (300) and Pakistan (130). India has the Kali scalar weapon (KALI - Kilo Ampere Linear Injector) to counter enemy missiles and aircraft. And more....

Diplomacy

During the 2000s, China grew friendship with Sri Lanka, especially with regard to eliminating the dreaded LTTE. Although India provided logical aid to SL, China provided arms that helped SL win the civil war. SL leased 4 naval bases to China. China built the Hambantota port that remains unused and has increased SL's debt. China also expanded its footprint into Africa by eating into France's former colonies. Since 2015, China grew closer to Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar in the wake of India's carelessness and recklessness. China also improved relations with Pakistan and Russia. China started its military exercises with Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) between Pakistan and India. Since 2015, Chinese and Pakistani troops have been training at the LoC. India which grew careful relations with neighboring nations till 2014 started to fumble and give more space to China. India's fumbling over Mongolia, Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar gave China a dominant position in Asia.

Further Notes - 1

RSS jingoism and loose talk on China is another cause for concern. What RSS/BJP and their followers (bhakts) don't seem to realize is, China are not like them. 1. The Chinese don't sit behind keyboards and wage verbal battles in the form of death/rape threats. 2. The Chinese, especially the PLA, aren't basement dwellers with no jobs/life. 3. They don't cry foul over anything. 4. They don't troll famous personalities worldwide for calling them out. Instead, they mock/ignore human rights organizations. 5. They're most certainly not the helpless Northeast, Dalit or Muslim victims of gau rakshaks and Hindi racists.

What the Chinese REALLY are: 1. Mao Tse-tung has the blood of 77 million Chinese people on his hands and over/in his grave. 2. China executes 5,000+ people every year. Real numbers unknown. 3. To counter the disease of gaming addiction, young men are forced to enter military camps. 4. China is developing a social credit system that is at least 1,000 times worse than the Aadhaar. 5. PLA has in the past expressed its eagerness to destroy the US and claimed it has the capability. and many more....

This is not China. 

This. Is. China.

This is not China.

This. Is. China.

This is not China.

This. Is. China.

Further Notes - 2

I would like to ask PM Narendra Modi and the Government of India to deescalate the LAC border tension. This is because China is not an enemy we can fight at this point of time (ideally we should never fight). I would also like to ask him to regulate his keyboard warriors. If not for the incompetence of NSA Ajit Doval: 1 http://www.dailyo.in/politics/modi-foreign-policy-sushma-swaraj-china-pakistan-kashmir-ajit-doval-ram-madhav/story/1/18052.html 2 http://www.dailyo.in/politics/maoist-sukma-attack-ram-madhav-ajit-doval-kashmir/story/1/16838.html 3 http://www.business-standard.com/article/opinion/ajai-shukla-between-mr-doval-and-the-deep-blue-sea-116010400562_1.html BJP's keyboard warriors could well become a dangerous catalyst in igniting a potential confrontation with China.

Furthermore, I would like to ask BJP to focus on India's real/potential enemies and not the wrong ones. I've already highlighted this issue. How India in its eternal short sight has put itself in the precarious position it is in today. https://moonchronicles.tumblr.com/post/162830909204/its-your-own-fault-india-and-your-own

I'd also like to inform the BJP/RSS/bhakts, once again, that the DMK is not your enemy.

This flag (DMK) is not of an enemy nation.

These flags (China and Pakistan) are! 

These men (Dr. Kalaignar M Karunanidhi and MK Stalin) are not your enemies. 

These men (Chinese President Xi Jinping and PLA General Fang Fenghui) are potential, powerful and REAL enemies! 

These men (DMK Members of Legislative Assembly) don't even care about your heroism on the keyboard. Heck they don't even know you exist, much less as chair-borne rangers and gold medalists in keyboard acrobatics. They'll simply ignore you. 

These men (Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff Qamar Javed Bajwa) are simply waiting to slay you! 

You have done enough to destroy India and Tamil Nadu by trying to bring DMK down in Tamil Nadu. I addressed that and I link it again here.

It's high time you stopped pestering imagined enemies (who actually ushered in development) and instead did something regarding your real enemies.

Hope better sense prevails. Thank you all for reading. Have a good day.

It’s Your Own Fault, India, and Your Own Foolishness, Tamil Nadu

I chanced upon this speech by the first Singapore Prime Minister, the Late Lee Kuan Yew. https://scroll.in/article/715572/singapores-lee-kuan-yew-on-why-he-departed-from-nehruvian-welfarism

Lee Kuan Yew was a staunch believer of free markets, and was ideologically different from Nehru. However that is not the crux of this post.

In the above post, Mr. Lee compared China and India on several fronts. Here’s the gist of his observations. 1 China never hesitated to take help from India when it came to IT/other services and learning English. 2 India never learned from China to industrialize and instead continued relying on IT/Telecom and other services alone. 

This was in 2004, but the same applies today.

What is my argument in this scenario?

Remember SIPCOT? SIPCOT stands for State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu, founded in 1972 by the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Dr. Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi. He started it with the intent to industrialize Tamil Nadu and boost its economy, till Indira Gandhi interrupted with her political greed by throwing away Katchatheevu in 1974, with MGR of ADMK and Nedumaran who was then President of Tamil Nadu Congress Committee repudiating DMK’s resolution on Katchatheevu that effectively became a headache for the party till date, despite it not being DMK’s fault by any degree. Then imposing emergency in 1975 and then finally dissolving DMK’s govt in 1976. Indeed, MGR floated ADMK after he was threatened with IT (Income Tax) raids by Indira Gandhi, and changed the name to All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) when she threatened to dissolve all local parties in 1975.

SIPCOT stands for State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu, founded in 1972 by the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Dr. Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi.

SIDCO was also started by DMK during the same period of time (1969 to 1976) to aid small industries. This was an attempt to move Tamil Nadu’s largely agrarian society to industrialization with as little friction as possible. Farming back then was a decent venture, unlike today, where they’re literally begging for survival.

After DMK was dissolved in 1976, MGR came to power and remained for the next 11 years. That was a point of time TN had absolutely no industrial development nor progress.

When DMK returned to power in 1989, it had to face the trouble of Eelam organizations and their problems. LTTE with whom Vaiko had a secret meeting in 1989 plotted to kill Kalaignar and replace him with Vaiko. More on that episode here: https://moonchronicles.tumblr.com/post/162077082669/the-eelam-story?is_related_post=1

Even as the Eelam problem was out of control, thanks primarily to MGR, Subramanian Swamy and Chandra Swami. http://expressindia.indianexpress.com/news/fullstory.php?newsid=27903 http://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/the-deadly-duo/204614 https://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/chandraswami-was-sivarasans-godfather/204696

DMK in 1989 tried its level best to put TN back on track after 11 dark years of MGR’s cult of personality. But it was dissolved by early 1991. Rajiv Gandhi’s murder added further trouble for DMK which was accused for a long time of the crime (and still is in a few parts by treacherous elements) before acquittal by Jain Commission (which found no evidence) despite protests by worthless parasites like Cho Ramaswamy and Subramanian Swamy (the real criminal). 

Compared to the previous decades, the 1990s was a different decade that would change India for a different course. The liberalization in 1991 forced in by the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the Information Technology (IT) Revolution changed India’s focus from agriculture and cottage industries to computer science. DMK from 1996-2001 and again from 2006-2011 promptly responded by setting up Tidel Park in Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai and other IT parks across the states. They also helped the automobile industry by allowing foreign brands to invest and open up factories.

The liberalization in 1991 forced in by the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the Information Technology (IT) Revolution changed India’s focus from agriculture and cottage industries to computer science.

In my opinion, this could’ve been achieved with much ease had it not been for Congress and ADMK coming in the way. Today, BJP and Modi stand as a solid rock in the way of DMK ascending to power in Tamil Nadu despite the ADMK roaming around like a headless chicken. For obvious reasons, if DMK comes to power, BJP’s rotten schemes for Tamil Nadu like NEET, GST, Uday, etc, will fail. So DMK must be stopped at all costs for Modi/BJP. This once again stalls not only the industrialization and subsequent development of Tamil Nadu, but also sinking the state into further debt. As is, TN already has a debt load of INR 3.16 trillion (government debt) and INR 2.75 trillion (public debt) with no functioning industries nor economy.

Today, BJP and Modi stand as a solid rock in the way of DMK ascending to power in Tamil Nadu despite the ADMK roaming around like a headless chicken.

I also include Congress, because DMK could fend off Congress as an enemy, but Congress as an “ally” is backstabbing/undermining DMK. 1 Congress turned a blind eye when DMK was facing the 2G case. Of course, DMK has come out of it unscathed, only to have Modi using his puppet CBI to delay the judgment again from July to August. I’m sure Modi will delay it till 2019. 2 Congress MPs/MLAs did NOTHING in TN but asked for more and more seats from DMK. 3 Congress lost in most constituencies in TN, not solely due to the unpopularity of the party in TN, but also because its workers jostled with DMK workers instead of cooperating, especially in places like Coimbatore. 4 Once again, DMK is working round the clock with Congress sitting around doing NOTHING.

In short, Congress’ behavior towards DMK is more like “all profits are ours, all losses are yours”. This is becoming more prominent with each passing day. Congress on its own won’t even get the votes that the likes of Naam Tamilar and MDMK, both racist xenophobic far right parties, would garner on their own. Casteist PMK would rout Congress straight in all constituencies, even where there are little to no Vanniyars or other communities usually against Dalits. Such is Congress’ popularity in TN. But their arrogance is unprecedented.

In short, Congress’ behavior towards DMK is more like “all profits are ours, all losses are yours”.

Back to the topic of discussion. DMK would’ve industrialized TN way back in the 1970s and 1980s itself had it not been for MGR’s cult of personality and Indira Gandhi’s greed. But that was not to be. Instead of following DMK’s lead and industrializing India, Indira Gandhi was busy reducing India to the status of the “Sick Man of Asia”, just like early 10th century Ottoman Turkey was the “Sick Man of Europe”.

In the meantime, China was led by Deng Xiaoping who laid the founding stones that took Chinese economy to new heights in the coming decades while India was and still is reeling behind. Not only was India reeling behind China, it made sure Tamil Nadu (which was far less educated back then) also came down along with it.

Not only was India reeling behind China, it made sure Tamil Nadu (which was far less educated back then) also came down along with it.

Little did India realize back then that China would become the mighty dragon economy that it is today. India under Congress was butt-hurt that the party that gained India its independence was kicked out of power by a regional party founded after independence! Horror of horrors! But whats ironic is that the losers still bear a grudge towards DMK for it! Democracy in India is a sham.

Little did India realize back then that China would become the mighty dragon economy that it is today.

But NITI Aayog under Modi proposes moving India from an agrarian to an industrial economy. Sounds similar to Mao’s Great Leap Forward in China. Move over to the Mao Tse-tung section in this post of mine: https://moonchronicles.tumblr.com/post/162161581189/prabhakarans-eelam?is_related_post=1

What is the difference between DMK’s transition and BJP’s transition? DMK revived agriculture to a healthy status before converting wastelands and some of the farmlands into industrial zones, whereas BJP is crushing farmers through demonetization, GST, etc, and forcibly trying to industrialize, but in vain. 

So BJP also fails at that front. Not just any failure, but an epic failure. Make in India, Startup India, Skill India, and pretty much everything launched/renamed from the previous government by the present government has failed. Unemployment is a bludgeoning problem. 

But Modi doesn’t see it essential to bring everybody on board despite his claims of “cooperative federalism” before assuming power. BJP/Modi are doing their level best to keep DMK out of power for fear of the fake Gujarat Model being exposed outright. The colossal damage this does to India’s economic prospects, and the growing economic clout of China and its increasing strategical threat (also primarily due to Modi’s massive mismanagement and stupidity as I’ve outlined here) doesn’t matter to him as much as keeping DMK out of power, or even going to the extent of partitioning Tamil Nadu into smaller states, just to gain power. This is why India is stupid. So stupid, I don’t know where to begin and where to end. Be it Congress or BJP, even Pakistan isn’t looked upon with as much hostility as DMK.

Now on to Tamil Nadu. 1 Okay, your ancestors can be forgiven for lack of education and awareness. Let bygones be bygones. MGR’s era and JJ’s first government should’ve taught you all a hard lesson. But still, why did you vote for them, despite seeing how much DMK has developed Tamil Nadu? Is it because of TASMAC alcohol which JJ endorses? Because, every time DMK tried to do away with TASMAC, they lost the elections. 2 Why did you vote against DMK in 2001, 2011, 2014 and again in 2016? DMK was the party that brought all forms of development to Tamil Nadu. What compelled an educated people like you to vote against the party that has worked (and still works) round the clock to take Tamil Nadu to the future? Does your education, again made possible by DMK, make you think of DMK as an evil party? Is it because you feel DMK is too low in some way and below dignity for “educated people” like you to support? 3 Just touch your hearts and tell me, if other parties you elected or currently support, be they ADMK, PMK, BJP, Naam Tamilar, etc, are pure white entities with no corruption cases? How did PMK, Naam Tamilar, MDMK, even BJP leaders, get all the money, land, bungalows, cars, etc, without even retaining their deposits in 2016? This when they’re nowhere near power. Can you imagine what will happen if they come to power?

Does your education, again made possible by DMK, make you think of DMK as an evil party? Is it because you feel DMK is too low in some way and below dignity for “educated people” like you to support?

Today BJP blocked your medical dreams by forcing NEET via OPS and Ma Fa Pandiarajan. Tomorrow, they will even force Manu Apartheid with EPS bending over. You can go back to the feudal era before the 1930s, where only an elite minority had all the rights to education, jobs, etc, while others stood on the roads with NOTHING! Maybe this is what you truly want for yourselves? I don’t know, but I certainly do NOT want it for myself and my future generations!

You can go back to the feudal era before the 1930s, where only an elite minority had all the rights to education, jobs, etc, while others stood on the roads with NOTHING!

Don’t give me excuses like “my friends from other states will look down on me”, “my NRI friends told me something bad about DMK”, “my SL Tamil friends were betrayed by DMK”, etc, as it will only infuriate anybody with common sense and an IQ of 70, and not just me. First of all, NONE of the aforementioned people even live in your state. They don’t care if you’re unemployed, in poverty, suffering, or in desperation. They WILL attempt to poison your minds, maybe out of jealousy, maybe out of concealed hatred, maybe out of anything, but it’s ultimately up to you to decide whether the same people who sit outside TN and spew venom against DMK will actually bother to help you if you’re unemployed, in poverty, in desperation, or in any form of trouble, before you fall for them. If they spew poison against DMK, you must ask them what they will do for you if you’re in trouble.

After writing this, I don’t intend to say all educated/uneducated people of TN are to blame, but the vast majority of them are. Otherwise TN wouldn’t be in dire straits that it is in today. Remember freedom isn’t cheap. Freedom is not a joke. For almost all people, it’s only through blood, sweat and tears that freedom comes to them. Even after attaining freedom, they have to maintain constant vigil in order to maintain that freedom.

Value what you have in hand. Count your blessings before it’s too late....

Why Modi’s Israel Visit Is a Blunder

On July 4, 2017, Narendra Modi became the first Indian PM to visit Israel since 1947. Although this should’ve been considered an achievement, I still consider it a blunder, without including other foreign policy blunders committed by the Modi government. This post is dedicated to finding out why.

Modi doing what he does best. Serious personal space issues, as Iyad El-Baghdadi says.

Back to the topic. Since 2014, the BJP has committed blunder after blunder in its foreign policy, and this in itself has relieved China and also given leverage to Pakistan which it never had over India since 1947. 

Jammu & Kashmir: India had the upper hand in Kashmir over Pakistan till 2014 and also maintained it as a bilateral issue despite Pakistan vainly attempting to internationalize the issue. Elements like Hurriyat were sidelined under the MMS years. Militancy broke out in 2010, but quickly calmed down and was returning to peace after a very long time. The number of deaths and those joining militancy in the valley was coming down quite drastically. Today, Kashmir is more or less a lost cause. Modi not just converted Kashmir into a trilateral issue with China butting in, but also made it international to the extent that Turkey, Iran and USA talked about Kashmir like it’s occupied by India. All for merely gaining Hindu votes in UP, Bihar, Gujarat, Uttarakhand and other cow belt states. Even at the extent of India’s integrity.

Pakistan: Before 2014, India had the upper hand over Pakistan and managed to get several groups and individuals backed by Pakistan designated as terrorists by the United States. Modi in his PR pursuit committed so many blunders that not only expanded Pakistan’s global outreach to Iran, Russia, China, USA and other countries, but also crippled India’s. Intrusions and attacks from Pakistan have increased in the past 3 years to the extent that even our own army men aren’t safe any longer.

China: The first major blunder was his veiled attack on China in 2014 during his Japan visit. This in itself soured the already uneasy relationship India had with China during Dr. Manmohan Singh’s years. China responded by mobilizing its military in late 2014. China didn’t escalate the matter further, till Modi wreaked the control of the Ministry of External Affairs for his own aggrandizing. Modi and NSA Ajit Doval are the actual ones in charge of the foreign ministry and not Sushma Swaraj. Back to China. Inviting the then US President Barack Obama to Republic Day 2015 irked both China and Russia. By opposing China and supporting the Philippines and Viet Nam over the South China Sea dispute in 2015-16, Modi made matters worse. China used this to extract revenge and block India’s NSG bid. Turkey, New Zealand, Mexico, South Africa and Switzerland also opposed India’s NSG bid. China said if India was to be included, Pakistan must also be included. While Pakistan rejoiced over this, the govt of India responded by saying they were okay with Pakistan’s bid. China also blocked India’s attempt to designate Masood Azhar as an international terrorist. Permitting Uighur dissident Dolkun Isa followed by massive PR from his minions on social media, then canceling it again in order not to irk China, is another instance which show what a colossal failure Modi has been on this front. In 2017, China invaded and renamed several villages in Arunachal Pradesh with silence as the only response by the MEA and Modi. In 1966, Indira Gandhi vowed to protect Bhutan, but now, China is not only invading Bhutan, but also cutting at India’s chicken neck that links the mainland to the North East. China is threatening war. Once again, silence is the only response from India.

Russia: Russian President Vladimir Putin was visibly not impressed by Modi’s PR shows, and since 2014, started to directly export weapons to Pakistan. Modi’s PR gave Pakistan enough time to warm up to Russia. Signing the LEMOA by Manohar Parrikar was too much to take. It’s worthy to note that India before Modi had the Irkut license to manufacture Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter jets in India. In 2016, Russia conducted its first joint military exercise with Pakistan. Russia - China - Pakistan relations have been silently growing for the past one year thanks to Modi’s failed and haphazard policies.

Iran: Dr. MMS supported Iran despite US sanctions and threats from US & EU over Iran. He also stopped Iran and Saudi Arabia from a potential war and called for cooperation. Despite being pro US, Dr. MMS put India’s interests first. Modi’s first blunder here was not giving Iranian President Hassan Rouhani any meeting time during his first US visit, and instead, meeting Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. This irked Iran, who retaliated by blocking India’s wheat. Consistent steps like this forced the Supreme Leader of Iran to open up the Chabahar port, which was confirmed by India during the MMS years, additionally to Turkey and China. Later in 2015 and early 2016, Iran proposed linking the Chabahar port with Pakistan’s Gwadar port (built by China). Till 2014, MMS despite being US friendly had Iran very close to India despite warning from the US and the EU. Modi turned this upside down. In Eid 2017, Iran’s Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei prayed that peace should return to Kashmir. Something Iran never talked about has now received sharp focus.

Syria: In 2013, the then Indian PM Dr. MMS opposed US’ bid to militarily enter the war. Modi maintains a stoic silence as Syria is shred into pieces.

Gulf: Part 1: While crude prices were as high as $140, Dr. MMS maintained gasoline/diesel prices at around 70-75 Rupees/liter. Even as crude prices are as low as $50, Modi maintains the price at 67-70 Rupees/liter and doesn’t even have the basic courtesy or an iota of shame to say what he’s doing with all the collected money. The Gulf embarks on a nationalization drive and sends back Indians. What has Modi done to solve the job crisis that will only get worse in the near future? Till date, nothing. Even the shameless PR seems to fall apart now. Part 2: Qatar has been sanctioned by its Gulf Arab neighbors since June 2017 for “sponsoring terrorism”. Turkey has stepped in to help Qatar. Modi maintains deafening silence, even as India has an army base in Qatar.

USA: Despite visiting USA as frequently as the restroom, USA continues selling arms to Pakistan and also increasing its aid. Donald Trump modified H-1B visas that made it harder for Indian techies to work in US companies. Modi’s response? Silence. Even his much trumpeted visit to USA under President Donald Trump yielded little results with Modi being silent over the matter.

Singapore: Singapore in April 2017 revoked its visa program thus preventing Indian techies from getting jobs there. Modi’s response? Silence.

Australia: Adani’s coal mine caused a lot of damage in Abbot Point at Australia’s Queensland province. Australia revoked its 457 visa program thus blocking Indian techies. Modi’s response? Silence.

New Zealand: The next day after Australia revoked its skilled workers visa program, New Zealand followed suit. Modi’s response? Silence.

Sri Lanka: I can say, this is the only nation where Modi topped MMS. This he achieved by toppling Mahinda Rajapaksa’s SL Freedom Party early in 2015 and ensuring Mathripala Sirisena became SL President. However Modi has remained silent since. For once, let’s give credit to the shameless joker and clumsy buffoon.

Nepal: Nepal has gone firmly into Chinese hands, and earlier this year, stone pelting was reported from the Nepalese border. This wasn’t the case during the MMS years.

Israel: There was a reason why Indian PMs before Modi never visited Israel. India is dependent on the OPEC nations for oil, all of whom have banned Israeli citizens from entering their nations for not following the 1967 Israel-Palestine resolution and also for the sudden formation of Israel over Palestine in 1948. Even as Indian PMs maintained clandestine relations with Israel, they never directly went there because they needed the Islamic nations to supply crude oil and employment, direct and indirect. With Modi openly trumpeting his anti Muslim hate back home in India and supporting India outside, he has antagonized the Islamic world with whom India built careful relations till 2014.

Further notes: It’s becoming an increasingly known fact that China tramples its Muslim minority with impunity, with Islamic nations and people maintaining helpless silence. Modi could’ve scaled back on his Israel love, mishandling of Kashmir and hatred of Muslims, and instead increased relations with OPEC nations. He could’ve highlighted this matter too. Indeed, China’s economic instability and market crash in 2015-16 was an indicator that something was wrong. Instead of openly promoting Chinese brands like Jio (Made in China) and PayTM and giving them more breathing space, Modi could’ve done something better. He could’ve cornered China on its abuse of Muslims. He could’ve used that as a board to attack Pakistan for its silence over this matter. He had the biggest advantage in 2014 when Chinese citizens were boycotting everything Malaysian over the disappearance of MH370. He could’ve also attacked Pakistan and then finally given the Baluchistan issue a big international boost. All of them wasted in shameless pursuit of PR.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are more blunders committed by the Modi regime which would require me to write a novel!

Thank you all for reading. Have a good day.

Time for a Strategy Modification

Dear DMK friends, here are some interesting new developments: 1 https://twitter.com/sadhavi/status/879915574519750656 2 https://twitter.com/sadhavi/status/879918515045539840

Indeed, this comes from someone who was part of BJP’s IT Cell before 2016. For more on her experience with them, please refer to Swati Chaturvedi’s book “I Am A Troll”.

Data Analytics, like Sadhavi mentioned, is going to change the future of politics. Amit Shah is not the first to use this approach though. It was already used before by the Brexit team and Donald Trump. 1 http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/the-politics-of-data-led-campaigning/ 2 https://www.newscientist.com/article/2131660-uk-government-watchdog-examining-political-use-of-data-analytics/ 3 https://www.datanami.com/2016/05/10/winning-politics-now-tied-big-data/ 4 http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/how-big-data-broke-american-politics-n732901

Yes, Donald Trump became the US President because he knew which states were capable of swinging either blue or red. He focused on them a bit more while consolidating redder than red states like Arizona. The very presence of Hillary Clinton was his added advantage. Indeed, like Sasikala was an advantage to OPS, Hillary was an advantage to Trump. Historically blue states like Michigan & Wisconsin swung to Trump and the rest fell in line.

Data Analytics was the weapon used by Trump. Same is the case with Brexit.

In India’s context, that was how well prepared BJP are in comparison to Congress, and that leads to Congress falling faster than BJP rising. This in addition to hate propaganda of BJP is also leading to an unhealthy atmosphere of hate, spite and vengeance. http://indianexpress.com/elections/bjps-election-strategy-900-rallies-67000-workers-10000-whatsapp-groups-chopper-landings-4565757/ https://www.newslaundry.com/2017/03/17/how-bjps-it-cell-waged-war-and-won-in-up

What must DMK do now? 1. Hire a Data Analytics firm to identify potential voters. This is a must today! 2. Grow local leaders in places like Coimbatore & Tiruppur in the Kongu belt where ADMK literally whitewashed the entire zone. Local leaders are a must in the Kongu belt. BJP plans to enter TN via this zone. 3. Consolidate all strongholds like Thiruvarur, Kumbakonam, etc, in Chola Nadu while focusing a bit more on swing districts like Nagapattinam, Thanjavur, etc, in Chola Nadu and the innumerable districts/constituencies in Pandya Nadu where ADMK won by a flimsy margin. Also focus on places where DMK won by small/reasonable margins in order to get landslide wins, like Pennagaram. 4. Unless completely sure, it’s best to grow local leaders in zones where other parties have won or are poised to win by large margins, like Marudhu Ganesh against 3 mammoths Madhusudhanan, TTV Dhinakaran and Gangai Amaran in RK Nagar. This forced Modi the cowardly filth to cancel the by election. It’s PRECISELY for this purpose that I propose hiring a Data Analytics firm/expert. For instance, Dindigul and Theni, being OPS’ home turf, OPS & gang will win there by a big margin. Field local leaders who can connect with people on the ground. This is DMK’s specialty: defeating mammoth leaders by fielding simple common people. 5. LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST: Take DMK’s achievements to the public. This can be done by publishing advertisements once or twice every week in major newspapers. The PRIME reason the youngsters of today are undecided is because of the incessant brainwashing propaganda by ADMK, BJP, PMK, Naam Tamilar and the likes. Most do not know what DMK has done in comparison to others, so why would they vote for DMK if they don’t know what DMK has done? Weekly once or twice, newspaper advertisements of DMK’s achievements are a MUST. Heck if BJP with ABSOLUTELY ZERO achievements can make Photoshop propaganda going into billions of Rupees, why not DMK do a much cheaper newspaper advertisement based propaganda? If funds are a problem, there’s always the option of starting a fundraiser online. If advertisements every week are not feasible, then at least once every 2 to 3 weeks. This in itself will do enough to counter the propaganda of assorted idiots who say TN is sick of “Dravidian politics” as an excuse to ascribe ADMK’s crimes to DMK. This will also help put the brakes on BJP’s/PMK’s/Naam Tamilar’s venomous propaganda machines.

That for Data Analytics and strategy. I personally believe DMK knows what’s best, but I’m writing this post because I observe strategies adopted by others, and I also see lapses in DMK’s strategy which need to be covered. 

I really respect and admire DMK for its efforts in removing silt from lakes and paving the way for water conservation. An effort that will be hailed as long as there be wisdom, honor and a love for truth left in our people! 

So the addition of Data Analytics to DMK’s political strategy will help consolidate a huge win for the party in any future election held in Tamil Nadu.

Thank you all for reading. Have a great day.

The Vyapam Scam - What Was Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss Doing?

Madhya Pradesh. This central Indian state is currently under the rule of the BJP under three time CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan and heading for a fourth consecutive win with the house of the opposition party Congress divided into warring factions.

Shivraj Chouhan of the BJP became CM of Madhya Pradesh on 11/29/2005 while the Congress was in power at the center.

But what plagues this state? The massive Vyapam scam that is roughly estimated to be INR 65 billion or $1 billion (conservative). Now what is the Vyapam scam? It’s a scam involving admissions into medical colleges.

Vyapam (Vyavsayik Pariksha Mandal) or Professional Examination Board is an autonomous body in the state which conducts exams to enter professional courses such as medicine and engineering and also get MP government jobs. There were scams in all professional courses/degrees, but in the case of medicine, it was exceptional as each seat was literally auctioned for INR 1 to 7 million! This will be covered soon.

Unlike us in Tamil Nadu, who (till traitor OPS and his criminal gang sold out our interests late last year) write our board exams alone to get admissions to top medical institutes like Stanley’s / MMC, in other states, they need to write an entrance exam. India wide, medical seats are coveted and so the cost for each seat goes into millions. Even in our case, getting a medical seat without an entrance exam in Ramachandra’s Medical College or SRM would cost us minimum 5 to 6 million. In other parts of India, it’s much more valuable. 

What were the highlights of the Vyapam scam? 1 A middleman arranged for bright students to impersonate applicants during exams while invigilators looked the other way. Invigilators were bribed to allow applicants to cheat by copying impersonators. In such cases, applicants apparently left their answer sheets blank to be filled up later based on the marks they were given. 2 Question papers were leaked before exams so students could prepare the answers in advance. 3 OMR sheets were left blank to be filled in later based on the marks given to applicants. 4 Final results and medical seats were influenced by money power. Each medical seat was auctioned from INR 1 million to 7 million. 5 In other words, truly meritorious students were short-charged and had to pursue other courses. In some extreme cases, it led to suicides.

Irregularities in medical test results were detected in 2009 and hundreds of arrests were made in 2011 after an investigation. It was only in 2013 that the gravity of the scam came to light, with information about the involvement of different officials at different hierarchical levels in the government.

DMAT scam: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhopal/Dental-and-Medical-Admission-Test-Scamsters-operated-in-cyber-cafes-colleges/articleshow/23920256.cms Dental & Medical Admission Test scam. DMAT is an exam in MP written for admission to private medical colleges in MP. Massive money power came into play. Applicants, based on money, were given the DMAT scores they paid for and were instructed to leave their OMR sheets blank to be filled up later. The middlemen were medical college owners who wanted to sell their medical seats to kids of rich parents. They mediated between the parents and the officials who conducted DMAT. MBBS seats were sold in the range of INR 5 to 10 million.

MP PMT scam: 1 http://www.hindustantimes.com/bhopal/mp-pmt-scam-racketeers-targeted-quota-candidates/story-4H7QHa4n8xbSgY9Kc5ClJJ.html 2 http://www.news18.com/videos/india/mp-scam-splits-mp-students-arrested-phoner-696333.html 3 http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/100-fake-doctors-MP-hit-by-Munnabhai-scam/articleshow/11285266.cms This was yet another scam wherein impersonators, usually bright students from UP & Bihar, were paid around 50k to 100k to write exams for applicants, once again rich kids. At least 6 private medical colleges were involved in this scam. Plenty of arrests were made in 2013 regarding this issue.

This scam started way back in the 1990s itself, but became chronic after BJP took over in 2005. This puts the reliability of MP’s hospitals and its doctors in the dumps. There were irregularities in the MP PMT (Madhya Pradesh Pre Medical Tests) in the years 2008, 2009 and 2011 as far as we know.

Till date, there have been at least 48 known deaths of people who went to investigate the matter. 

Now on to the next part of my titular question.

Who was the health minister during UPA 1 from 2004 to 2009 around the same time BJP took over MP? It was none other than PMK’s Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss.

Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss has a case in CBI pending against him. 1 http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/Anbumani-illegally-allowed-admission-in-medical-college-CBI/article12138428.ece 2 http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/cbi-chargesheets-anbumani-for-abuse-of-office/article3360845.ece

This is for illicit admissions to 2 colleges: One in Uttar Pradesh (Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital in Bareilly) and the other in Madhya Pradesh. The IMCHRC (Index Medical College, Hospital & Research Center at Bhopal, MP) was founded by Suresh Singh Bhadoriya in 2006. This college didn’t have enough infrastructure, facilities nor eligible faculty to be even deemed an eligible medical college. The MCI (Medical Council of India) had warned Dr. Anbumani against giving clearance to IMCHRC. Even after MCI inspectors said admissions may not be permitted due to its deficiencies, Bhadoriya and Anbumani formed a central team to obtain a favorable report and issue permission to renew admissions for the 2008-09 batch. https://www.pressreader.com/oman/oman-daily-observer/20150820/281895886984543

The other prominent people in CBI’s charge-sheet are: 1 K. V. Rao, a director in the Cabinet Secretariat 2 Sudarshan Kumar, section officer in the Health and Family Welfare Ministry 3 Dr. J. S. Dhupia and Dr. D. K. Gupta, two senior faculty members at Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital 4 S.K. Tongia, ex-Dean of IMCHRC, K.K. Saxena, Medical Director of IMCHRC, Nitin Gothwal, HR manager, Pawan Bhambani, director of administration, medical director Dr. K.V. Saxena and some other people under various provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

What are the charges against Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss regarding this matter? A sitting MP, Ramadoss has been accused of criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery, using forged documents as genuine under the Indian Penal Code and under the Prevention of Corruption Act. http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/ramadoss-to-be-charged-with-corruption-in-medical-college-admissions/142887.html 

Here’s something very interesting: http://www.advocatekhoj.com/library/judgments/announcement.php?WID=3880 If you love reading meticulous articles, I suggest reading the above! 

These dysfunctional money grabbing dungeons were given clearance by Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss who also aided admissions to the same! Imagine the plight of future patients who might have to be treated by these fraud MBBS ‘doctors’!

So it’s becoming increasingly clear that Ramadoss knew what was brewing in Madhya Pradesh under Shivraj Singh Chouhan. My question is: Why was he silent over the matter (and still is)? Is this the action of a responsible doctor? The same way, he never opposed NEET despite its blatant discrepancies. In fact, the only party in TN to oppose NEET is DMK. Everybody else has yielded with no resistance.

Here is some circumstantial evidence regarding irregularities in the PMT exam (Pre Medical Tests, which have been around since the late 1990s/early 2000s) in India over the years. http://www.universityworldnews.com/article.php?story=20140828171239580 If you read the article, the highlight lies here: “Hundreds of students have been suspended in recent months for allegedly using “unfair means” to clear the Pre Medical Test, or PMT, conducted between 2006 and 2013 and secure admission to undergraduate medical courses.” Who was the health minister during UPA 1? Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss. Who was the health minister during UPA 2? Ghulam Nabi Azad. If, and IF, the above allegation is true, both should be investigated over irregularities in PMT over the years.

Now the question essentially becomes this: Are RMC in UP and IMCHRC in MP the only colleges Anbumani was involved in, or are there more colleges in India affected by Anbumani’s lapses? Only a thorough investigation can bring further matters to light.

That for Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss.

Now on to the final and the most crucial part of it all - my warning to DMK regarding this man.

This is something I discussed within closed circles, but it seems the time to release this for public reading has come.

We’re all witness to the serial murders around late JJ’s Kodanad Estate and the death of MLA Vijayabhaskar’s friend. It eerily resembled the Vyapam murders. Of course, for the well informed, it’s the handiwork of BJP. However what has Anbumani got to do with this?

CBI halted the investigation against Anbumani earlier this year. Around the same time, political circles in Tamil Nadu are well aware of the fact that Modi/BJP paid PMK a sum of INR 20 billion to attack DMK and keep public attention off BJP’s failures and deceit. 

Sounds plausible? In a way yes, that was how Vaiko played JJ’s B-team in the name of People’s Welfare Front. But what’s the difference in the case of PMK playing BJP’s/Modi’s B-team? 

Dear DMK friends, remember Rajiv Gandhi? Most of us know the REAL man behind his assassination. However DMK had to bear the blame for the crime of LTTE which was funded by MGR & LTTE sympathizers in the USA and aided logistically by Subramanian Swamy. More on that episode here: http://www.noolaham.org/wiki/index.php/Lanka_Guardian_1991.10.15 Read pages 2 to 6 to know more of it.

Any response to PMK by DMK would most possibly be used by BJP to ensnare DMK. Just like Subramanian Swamy and Natarajan setup the LTTE & Rajiv Gandhi to ensnare DMK, Modi & Amit Shah are setting up Anbumani Ramadoss. In other words, Modi & Shah are most probably attempting a Subramanian Swamy / Rajiv Gandhi Mark-II on DMK. This is something Modi & Shah are highly capable of carrying out. I am personally happy that MK Stalin & DMK are keeping their distance from PMK. DMK should maintain this and ignore PMK till the end. Given the power BJP has over the media, it’s best never to fall into this BJP trap. Ignore PMK and engage the common public over the pressing issues they face in everyday life due to the inefficiency of the ADMK administration and the insanity of the central Modi administration.

I’m NOT alleging BJP are doing this yet, but I believe they are highly capable of it, given their greed for power. 

With that, I conclude this post. More details will be added as and when I get them.

Thank you all for reading. Have a great day.

Prabhakaran’s Eelam

Although I know this is boring as hell, at least for the likes of me, I feel it needs to be given a reality check once and for all. I hope I end the dangerous infatuation many people, especially youngsters, have with this man. Let this also give us an insight into this man based on the factual evidence we have at our disposal.

First things first, please remember Prabhakaran was a blood red communist and atheist (see here). He firmly believed till the end that there was no god and frowned upon believers of all stripes. His ethnic cleansing of Muslims and Saiva Vellalars from North & East Sri Lanka stands testimony to this statement of mine. For more on that, please read my earlier post here.

By communists, I exclude our Indian communists like CPI, CPI(M), CPI(ML), etc, who, by the way, are truly admirable for standing firmly by Indian women on all issues, be it their entry into Lord Shani’s shrine at Shingnapur (see here), the Haji Ali Dargah (see here), Triple Talaq (see here), etc, and so much more. In their place, I’d include BJP which has in the recent past implemented crude Stalinist/Maoist policies like limiting the cash we take out of our own accounts (now removed), charging us for each ATM transaction, taxing us heavily to apparently “Make in India” and Innovate (read the full thread here) but failing to do so (more here), etc. Not to mention actually supplying arms to Maoists in the Red Corridor (see here) headquartered in Chhattisgarh & Jharkhand (both ruled by BJP for over a decade, see here and here).

I’m getting way off track now, so now let’s get back to Prabhakaran’s Eelam, or what Eelam would’ve been had LTTE won the Eelam war. Just to give an insight to our misguided youth. Please bear in mind Prabhakaran is of the same ilk as Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, Josef Stalin, etc, and would’ve done nothing better than them if he had actually ruled Eelam. Let me take you on a journey through history.

This isn’t to deride India’s long time friend Russia or its predecessor USSR, but the real nature of communism and communists must be known to all. To know more about Marxism, please read this brilliant book by Ludwig von Mises (from the Austrian School of Economics) “Marxism Unmasked” here.

1. Let me start with Josef Stalin, the Premier of the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1953 and the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1952.

He replaced Vladimir Lenin’s "New Economic Policy” with his own policies like a centralized command economy, industrialization and collectivization. What were the consequences of his ruthless policies?

Interjection: If you do not have the stomach to digest crude imagery, I’d suggest you stop reading immediately, or you can scroll quickly to the bottom of this post. Thanks!

The first Soviet famine of 1932-33, of which Holodomor was a part, was the first outcome of Stalin’s policies. Here are some images.

These are just a handful of photos. The innumerable blood-curdling horrors that happened during the great Soviet famine of 1932-33 that took the lives of 7 million people are out there for all to see. The worst affected areas included Ukraine, Northern Caucasus, Volga Region and Kazakhstan, the South Urals, and West Siberia.

Then between 1934 and 1939, Stalin organized the "Great Purge” against his enemies whom he dubbed as “enemies of the working class”, including senior political and military figures, were interned in Gulag-run prisons, exiled or executed, often without due process. During 1937-38, NKVD (Soviet Secret Police) headed by Nikolai Yezhov, exterminated between 600,000 and 3 million people.

Here’s an image of the “Great Purge”.

These people were “enemies of the people” apparently. Most of them were killed with no trial.

Note that this was BEFORE the Second World War. AFTER the Second World War, Josef Stalin organized the Great Plan for the Transformation of Nature in response to another major famine from 1946 to 1947.

One might argue: USSR just came out of the war, so there was food shortage. But then so did the USA, the UK, France, and others! There was no report of such major famines there! But to some extent, this can be excused.

Here are records of the official number of deaths under Josef Stalin: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09668139999056 https://www.theguardian.com/education/2002/sep/12/highereducation.historyandhistoryofart http://necrometrics.com/20c5m.htm#Stalin

2. Next I move on to Mao Zedong (Mao Tse-tung), the first Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the first Chairman of the People’s Republic of China.

A brief history of this fellow: He was losing out to Chiang Kai-shek and had the United States intervene and save his ass each time. More on the treason of George Catlett Marshall here: http://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1951mccarthy-marshall.html

Indeed, this speech was delivered by Joseph McCarthy before the Senate on 06/14/1951.

After capturing China from Chiang Kai-shek (who later fled to Taiwan), what did Mao Tse-tung do?

During 1948-50, he committed a “classicide” against landowners/landlords in order to redistribute their lands to the peasant class. An estimated 4.5 million people perished during this purge. There was also this “struggle session” wherein landlords were publicly shamed, humiliated, tortured and executed, not by some secret police as in the neighboring USSR, but by radicalized peasants themselves!

Here’s an example of what classicide was like: 

And mind you, not one, but 4.5 million landlords were publicly humiliated, tortured and exterminated thus.

Then from March 1950, Mao initiated a campaign to suppress counterrevolutionaries known as Zhenfan. In other words, those who didn’t agree with him were purged and put to death. This occurred till August 1952. Here’s an image of one such incident:

Due to this purge, the number of people killed would’ve ranged from 712,000 (Yang Kuisong) to 2 million (Li Changyu). Most of those killed were former Kuomintang officials, businessmen, former employees of Western companies and intellectuals whose loyalty was suspect. If added to those who perished during the classicide and also being sent to “reform through labor” camps, the total deaths could go well above 6 million.

Around the same time, the Three-Anti campaign was started in Manchuria towards the end of 1951. The aim was to rid China of corruption and enemies. The three antis were: corruption, waste and bureaucracy. If they were found guilty of any of these charges, they were publicly humiliated, executed, sent to labor camps (Laogai) across China or made to commit voluntary suicide.

On January 1952, Mao began the Five-Anti campaign. The five antis were bribery, theft of state property, tax evasion, cheating on government contracts and stealing state economic information. The estimated death toll of voluntary suicides in both these campaigns stands between 200,000 to 300,000.

The Sufan movement launched in 1955 and ended in 1956 took the lives of an estimated 770,000 people, although real numbers are hard to come by. While previous campaigns targeted the remnants of the Kuo Min Tang (KMT) movement, this one mainly targeted the communist party members whose loyalty was suspect. 

Mao himself admitted killing 800,000 people in the classicide (see here) and 712,000 people in the suppression of counterrevolutionaries (see here).

This doesn’t end here. The REAL genocides are yet to begin.

In 1957, Mao announced “The Great Leap Forward” to transform China from an agrarian economy to an industrialized socialist one. This lasted from 1958 to 1962. Mao prohibited private farming and collectivized all farms by 1958. People’s communes were established with 5,000 households per commune. A total of 25,000 communes were established. These communes included not just farmlands, but also light industries and construction projects. Mao’s main focus was on industrialization. China invested heavily in state enterprises to boost steel production. 1,587, 1,361 and 1,815 medium large scale state projects were started in 1958, 1959 and 1960 respectively, more each year than the First Five Year Plan.

In 1958, 21 million Chinese people were added to the non-agricultural state payrolls. This number rose to its peak at 50.44 million in 1960. The urban population swelled by 31.24 million people. Due to this, China’s food rationing system came under immense stress and the demand for rural food production reached unsustainable levels. During this expansion, coordination suffered and material shortages spiked, leading to increased wages for laborers with no significant rise in manufactured goods. Facing this massive deficit, the government cut financing for industries from 38.9 billion to 7.1 billion.

Mao (who had no knowledge of metallurgy) encouraged setting up backyard steel furnaces in every commune and neighborhood after seeing an experimental backyard furnace in Hefei, Anhui shown to him by Zeng Xisheng that was claimed to be manufacturing high quality steel. So Mao forced peasants to manufacture steel. Peasants moved away from farming and manufactured steel from everything they got, like scrap metal, pots, pans and other metal artifacts. To fuel the furnaces, environments were denuded of trees and the woods taken from the doors and furniture from the houses of the peasants. The outcome was low quality pig iron which was of no use. His private doctor Li Zhisui commented that after visiting Manchuria in January 1959, Mao realized high quality steel could only be produced in large-scale factories powered by coal, but let the “mass mobilization of peasants” continue so as not to disturb their “revolutionary enthusiasm”.

Irrigation works were often built without inputs from trained engineers. Mao proposed moving 600 million cubic meters for each water conservancy project. Mao criticized the excess use of corvée (unpaid unfree labor), but mass mobilization of peasants continued, and several hundreds of thousands were killed in this process.

Close cropping and deep plowing were encouraged on the false assumption that this would increase agricultural output, but it actually went down.

The villagers suffered acutely during this entire episode. They were forced to work for intolerable hours through day and night, in most cases, without food. Communes were mostly occupied by officials who forced village peasants to work. Those who disobeyed or couldn’t work were humiliated, tortured, sent to labor camps or executed.

To increase agricultural output, Mao initiated the Four Pests campaign wherein he targeted rats, flies, mosquitoes and sparrows. Sparrows which ate some of the grains, were shot at, their nests destroyed, their eggs broken and chicks killed. This reduced their population by a huge percentage. But the outcome of this disastrous campaign was that insects, locusts and bugs started to multiply in number and ate up all the grains, resulting in further shortage. Locusts started to swarm the entire nation and caused further ecological imbalance in addition to the Great Leap Forward due to widespread deforestation and the misuse of poisons and pesticides. Ecological imbalance further exacerbated the Great Chinese Famine, which killed an estimated 23 million (Peng Xizhe, 1987) to 55 million (Yu Xiguang, 2005) people. Some images below:

Here’s an article from the New York Times on the same: http://www.nytimes.com/1997/02/05/books/horror-of-a-hidden-chinese-famine.html

In 1966, Mao initiated the “Cultural Revolution” to remove capitalist and bourgeois elements within the Communist Party of China through violent class struggle. This came at the backdrop of Mao being sidelined. He targeted Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping. Chinese youth formed Red Guards throughout the country. The movement spread into the military, urban workers and within the communist party itself. It led to widespread factional struggles in all walks of life. Millions of people suffered a wide range of abuses like public humiliation, arbitrary imprisonment, torture, hard labor, sustained harassment, seizure of property, and in some cases, execution. A large segment of the population were displaced, especially urban youth moving to the rural areas. Historical relics & artifacts were destroyed and cultural & religious sites were ransacked.

Although Mao declared the Cultural Revolution over in 1969, it actively continued till the death of military leader Lin Biao in 1971. Mao died of multiple heart attacks on 09/09/1976. His Gang of Four (Jiang Qing, Zhang Chunqiao, Yao Wenyuan, and Wang Hongwen) were arrested the same year and reformists led by Deng Xiaoping dismantled Maoist policies and laid the stones for modern capitalist China in 1979. In 1981, the Party declared that the Cultural Revolution was "responsible for the most severe setback and the heaviest losses suffered by the Party, the country, and the people since the founding of the People's Republic". The estimated death toll due to the Cultural Revolution ranges from 400,000 (see here) to 10 million (see here).

3. Now I move on to Hồ Chí Minh of Viet Nam.

This man’s ragtag group of communist thugs was trained by Mao’s Red Chinese Army and armed by China and USSR.

He formed the Indochinese Communist Party in 1930 in Hong Kong with the aid of Phan Boi Chau and returned to Viet Nam in 1941 to overthrow the French. Phan Boi Chau was popular among all Vietnamese people as a nationalist. Ho, afraid that he would be sidelined by Chau, aided the French police in arresting Chau and took over his place. Communist followers of Chau were accepted while others were betrayed to the French police for a sum of money. Thus Phan Boi Chau’s movement was completely destroyed and subsumed by Ho Chi Minh.

There was a much darker side to Ho than his deceit and treachery however.

In 1930 and 1931, his Indochinese Communist Party conducted an assassination program against competitors, landowners and officials, that was so sweeping it prompted a rebuke from the Comintern (for whom he worked as a spy). Through the 1930s & 40s, as ICP grew in size, thousands of Vietnamese people were killed, betrayed to the French for money or forced to flee to Japan & China. When it suited Ho Chi Minh’s purpose, some would serve in his government; when it no longer did, they would die or flee the country.

After the French left, Ho Chi Minh took control of North Viet Nam and completely eliminated all competition from nationalists, liberals and communists alike. Communists were subsumed into his movement while others were eliminated. Moderates like Bui Quang Chieu were exterminated as a matter of fact to “purify” the Vietnamese people. Even Ho’s personal friend Ta Thu Thau was assassinated for which he replied: “Anyone who does not follow the line determined by me will be smashed.”

The last to go were the nationalist Viet Nam Quoc Dan Dang, eliminated through military action against the areas they controlled as well as arrests of the leadership and confiscation of their assets. By the end of 1946 there was no one left to contest Ho Chi Minh for leadership of North Viet Nam.

In the name of “land reforms”, just like Mao & Stalin, from 1953 to 1956, Ho Chi Minh pitted peasants against the middle class and the wealthy and even against each other. This resulted in approximately 500,000 deaths. It was so brutal that peasants revolted. Ho Chi Minh called in an entire division of the People’s Army of Viet Nam and slaughtered peasants indiscriminately till the revolt was put down. If you’re interested, you can read more on that here: https://www.amazon.com/Bloodbath-Hypothesis-Pattern-Vietnams-Radical/dp/B001J4NQT8

Members of the National People’s Party were also killed en masse. If these numbers are added to the land reform numbers, it would go up to nearly a million.

Viet Nam was demarcated after the First Indochina War into North and South in 1954. The North was allied to USSR & China, while the South was allied to the USA. The Viet Nam War episode also involved the communist Viet Cong (VC) which was active in South Viet Nam and the communist rebels in Cambodia and Laos. Getting into this episode would take me a full 2 days, so I leave this at that.

Fast forward to 1976. When the USA pulled out of South Viet Nam, the Viet Cong (VC) and the People’s Army of Viet Nam (PAVN) captured Saigon (renamed to Ho Chi Minh City) and reunified Viet Nam. In the reunification process, Ho Chi Minh’s followers (Ho Chi Minh died on 09/02/1969) killed an estimated 840,000 to 2.4 million political prisoners and people who were opposed to communism in South Viet Nam. 

To gauge the severity of Ho Chi Minh’s cruelty, I’d suggest reading this article from November 1968: http://www.paulbogdanor.com/left/vietnam/hochiminh.html

To summarize, Ho Chi Minh is responsible for the deaths of minimum 1.7 million Cambodians, 230,000 Laotians (people in Laos) and 2 million Vietnamese people, due to his ruthless communist policies and warmongering.

4. Now I move on to the next communist, Pol Pot who ruled Democratic Kampuchea, now known as Cambodia.

For his higher education, Pol Pot went to France, where he got radicalized into a Marxist and quit his education.

Pol Pot headed the Khmer Rouge (the Khmers are the largest ethnic group in Cambodia) and captured power in 1975. He renamed the country to Democratic Kampuchea.

He immediately forced the closing of all national banks, schools, hospitals, etc, and started collectivizing farms under his government’s control. He forced all his people to work for long hours in farms, under the guns of his armed forces. People who complained of sickness were frowned upon and forced to go back into the farms. People who opposed him were killed, as was also the case with Ho Chi Minh, Mao Tse-tung and Josef Stalin. 

What’s the worst part is that he targeted educated people! Anybody who was educated, or even looked educated, was killed! This horrible purge was dubbed by the Khmer Rouge as the “Purification of the Cambodian People”!

An estimated 1-3 million people, around 25% of the country’s total population, was exterminated as a result of Pol Pot’s ruthless policies.

It took the Vietnamese Army to invade Kampuchea in 1979 and liberate their people to end the madness of Pol Pot! 

Here are images of Pol Pot’s torture.

A memorial for the victims.

5. And last but not the least, Nelson Mandela.

Yeah, this quote of his is so famous, but how many people know about his dark side?

Note: I’m not a racist, nor support racism or discrimination of any form! But reality has to be brought to light! I oppose Apartheid, but Nelson Mandela’s brand of communism isn’t any better, if not much worse!

Now on to Mandela. How many blacks has Mandela killed for not agreeing to his communist philosophy? I’d say thousands. 

How many of you Prabhakaran/LTTE lovers know about “necklacing”? No, I’m not talking about gold, silver or diamond necklaces that our women wear at home, I’m talking about car tires being used as necklaces, to be doused with kerosene/gasoline and set alight! 

Warning! If you do not have a hard heart, skip this video immediately!

https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e94_1317489390

This was how he acted against blacks whom he felt were conspiring with the Apartheid government. Those who disagreed with his communist leanings were brought to justice thus.

As to why Mandela did this? He’s from the Xhosa tribe in South Africa. Mandela’s tribe believed that inhaling toxic smoke disconnects one from their ancestors, so before death, disconnect the target from his/her ancestors.

Before his election as the First President of post Apartheid South Africa in 1994, the Shell House massacre took place. Read more on that here. 

The less I talk about his legacy, the better. Long story short, South Africa today is #1 in AIDS, rape, murders, unemployment, unsanitary water and lawlessness. Read more about his party African National Congress' torture camps from a survivor here.

Another victim of necklacing.

A Norwegian article on necklacing: http://www.vg.no/nyheter/utenriks/soer-afrika/frykter-nye-hat-angrep-mot-utlendinger-etter-fotball-vm/a/10007092/

I had to expose Nelson Mandela, because his crimes against fellow blacks were legion & gruesome and the country he inherited has become what one can now dub “Hell on Earth”.

This ends our journey through history. There are other prominent communist personalities such as Cuba’s Fidel Castro, Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, etc, who weren’t brutal to the scale of the above 5. They were really terrible at economic management, but apart from that, their legacies aren’t tainted with as much blood and gore as those of Josef Stalin, Mao Tse-tung, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot or Nelson Mandela. 

Now on to Prabhakaran and LTTE. Dear Naam Tamilar, PMK and MDMK fans, now that our brief journey through the history of communism is over, I ask you to read diligently my previous post on Eelam here. https://moonchronicles.tumblr.com/post/162077082669/the-eelam-story

And tell me, if you can, whether Prabhakaran would’ve been any different. You be the judge!

I do believe that Prabhakaran, like all of the aforementioned people, had good intentions in the beginning, but ultimately, they all went haywire and ended up destroying themselves and their people more than their purported enemies! This is why your ideology is very important! But that’s a long topic which would need a separate session!

That’s the end of a long journey, even by my standards!

Thank you all for reading! Have a good day!
