India's New Army Chief Has China In Sight

Over the past few months, the Indian army was divided in two: half supporting former army chief Gen. Kapoor, and the other half supporting Gen. Singh, then in-charge of the eastern command who succeeded this month in dislodging the army chief. Now Gen. Singh’s first task is to reunite a divided army. But that’s not all. This is an in-depth look that reveals how Gen. Singh comes with some other interesting plans.  Our friends in China must know about this one.

CIA's Rogue Afghanistan Operations

The face of a CIA-recruited drug lord. Read below for details.

CIA needs authorization from US Congress before launching covert operations in other countries. Congress approves releasing funds for the operations.

Because of this requirement CIA has to give people in government details about the covert operations it is asking money for.

To avoid this disclosure, CIA has been looking for funding from other sources to launch 'rogue' operations, ones that are not fully endorsed by the government. 

In Afghanistan, CIA has launched several covert operations since 2002 meant to target not al-Qaeda or Taliban but some of the neighboring countries whose policies may not sync with US interests.

For example, Pakistan allowed Chinese personnel to build a huge strategic seaport called Gawadar. This Chinese presence was not in US interest. So CIA used Karzai's intelligence people and India's offer of help to target Chinese engineers in Pakistan. CIA did this quite successfully by slipping terrorists inside Pakistan pretending to be Taliban or al Qaeda.

It was easy for CIA agents to carry out this operation because Pakistan under former president Pervez Musharraf had granted US personnel, civilian and military, unprecedented freedom of movement within the country.

When these CIA agents killed a couple of Chinese engineers back in 2004, CIA psy-ops used the incident to put the blame on Afghan Taliban, thereby creating doubts in the minds of Chinese officials that Pakistani intelligence might have had something to do with this since Pakistan maintained ties with the Afghan Taliban government in Afghanistan before 2002.

Similarly, CIA launched covert operations against Iran, western China and Pakistan. It used Afghan soil in all of them, which made logistical issues pertaining to these operations much easier.

Where did the money come from for all of these operations?

Some of the money came from the US government, which has an anti-Iran covert program running until now from the Bush days. Nothing secret here.  But not all CIA operations in Afghanistan are funded by the US government.

It is believed that many CIA operations inside Pakistan and China received partial or no funding from the US government. These operations were meant to create ethnic, sectarian and political turmoil in Pakistan, and ethnic turmoil in China, especially in Tibet and Xinjiang.

CIA developed a new source of funding to finance these rogue operations.

The Afghan Taliban almost destroyed the Afghan opium trade, a feat unparalleled in the history of Afghanistan. It was near impossible for anyone to impose such discipline on a chaotic nation like Afghanistan.

After 2002, drug production and trade grew by leaps. CIA introduced latest drug production and transportation tehniques to Afghanistan, learned from CIA operations in South America.

CIA also recruited all the main Afghan drug barons. Almost all of them are on CIA's payroll, or were so until early 2010.

Some of these AFghan drug barons were actually rewarded. CIA recommended some of them to US government and military as legitimate powerbrokers who deserved a share in the Kabul government.

This is one facet of the multidimensional role that CIA played in Afghanistan between 2002 and 2010 to distrub regional balance of power and pursue US strategtic interests beyond the immediate goals of America's war on terror.

What If Pakistani Soldiers Raped Hindu Women?

You just have to love it when the mainstream US media - the advocate of war and official propaganda - tries to act neutral.

Israel slapped a media blackout a year ago duirng its attack on Gaza's unarmed civilians. A year later, on the first anniversary of the war, CNN focused on Dec. 27, 2009, on how bad Israel's media ban was.

How did CNN do this, criticize Israel without jeopardizing the special relationship?

By giving its correspondent Ben Wedeman around a minute - yes one minute - to mention how bad Israel has been.

But when China slapped a similar blackout last July on British- and American-backed disturbances in western China, the Am-Brit media was up in arms. Same thing with Iran. Same thing with Russia in Chechnya and Georgia.

India not only continues to impose a media blackout on its occupied region of Kashmir but also bans international human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and HRW, from sending observers to the territory.

India does this to hide massive human rights violations. Hardly a month goes by without the discovery of a mass grave. Sexually frustrated Indian soldiers, who serve in the troubled region for long tours of duty, routinely rape Kashmiri women. Rape is both an outlet and an officially-sanctioned tool of punishment for a population that misses no opportunity to show its disgust at being under Indian occupation.

Imgaine if Pakistan was occupying some Hindu-majority territory where Pakistani soldiers routinely raped Hindu women. A young married woman and her sister-in-law where the latest victims of Indian soldiers, raped, killed and thrown in a river.

Have you heard about this on CNN? BBC? FoxNews? Any other mainstream American or British media outlet?

You won't. Israel is no-go area for the Am-Brit media. India has become one recently because the United States and the United Kingdom are grooming this nation for policing duties in Afghanistan and Asia, and as a counterweight to China.  In other words, India is the new and cheap Anglo-American slave-soldier in Asia.

These are glaring discrepancies in how the Am-Brit media covers media bans in India and Israel and then in Iran, Russia and elsewhere.

Hundreds of children killed in the Israeli war on Gaza last year were barely covered in the mainstream Am-Brit media.

More than 55 Pakistanis were burned alive on Indian soil in 2006, in a case where Indian police proved later that serving Indian intelligence officers and Hindu extremists were involved in. The man who uncovered this nexus between Indian military and the nascent Hindu terror groups was the first recipient of an assassin's bullet during the first hours of the Mumbai attack. Have you read or heard any of this in the Am-Brit media? Hardly. But when it comes to Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Pakistan, China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, the Am-Brit media is unstoppable.

When someone like me raises these questions, mainstream US and British publications devote blogs and writers to condemn 'conspiracy theories' and 'conspiracy theorists'. Some of them condescendingly talk about 'cultural' traits that make people from our part of the word susceptible to conspiracy theories.

But when the time is right, China's intelligence service will release details of another conspiracy: How the Indians, Americans, Brits & Karzai's intelligence worked together to stir unrest in China's Tibet and Xinjiang.
